Saturday Night Live - The Best of Phil Hartman

The skit with him and Jan Hooks is one of my favorites. He was a comedic genius. How could you not love The Caveman Lawyer! Another of the cast of SNL that died young and left a good lookin' corpse.

Phil Hartman has always been funny since before SNL. It came fast and in new shape.

The opening credits for this video say "Saturday Night Live Remembers Phil Hartman." How could anybody NOT remember Phil Hartman? With so many impersonations and characters, I'm sure it was very difficult for the creators of this video to pick out "The Best of Phil Hartman." The following skits and impersonations are included in this 83 minute video:Cold Opening - Admiral StockdaleThe Sinatra GroupCompulsionClinton At McDonald'sDonahueDiscover The World of ScienceBarbara BushRonald Reagan"The Tonight Song" with Steve MartinGovernor Mario CuomoSenator Edward KennedyChurch ChatVisit From Jesus ChristCharlton HestonJohnny CashMichael CaineTelly SavalasBurt ReynoldsStar TrekAndy Griffith"Dadly Duties"Ed McMahonUnfrozen Cave Man LawyerWeekend Update Commentary: The All-Drug OlympicsDrama ClassJohnny O'ConnorCooking With the Anal Retentive ChefSuccinctly SpeakingEncounter With Mr. CherrywoodSassyArmy BaseSprockets Dating GameOn BroadwayRobot RepairAnne BoleynLove Is A DreamI would say 30 out of the 36 sketches on this tape are very funny. It's incredibly saddening that Hartman is no longer alive to share more laughs with us. This tape is a great tribute to the times that he was. I dare you fans and new viewers to try not to laugh as you view this truly great tribute to a truly comedic genius.

Such a tragedy what happened to him. Hartman was hilarious .

After all, this is very simple: you should have this if Phil Hartman made you laugh.Yes, some reviewers are correct, this DVD could be better. Maybe there are missing, funnier, sketches; maybe the finale is too romantic; maybe ... (that's why it gets a 4 star rating from me).But still, this will make you laugh and remember good old Phil.Among others, you will find him impersonating Bill Clinton, Frank Sinatra, Phil Donahue, Alm. Stockdale, Donald Trump, Jesus, Barbara Bush, Frankenstein, Ronald Reagan and Ed McMahon. He also appears as the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, a russian weightlifter, the Anal Retentive Chef, and other funny characters.Again, if you were a Hartman fan and miss him, get this. It might not be perfect but it's good enough. Hopefully they will make a second DVD with more sketches.

A top SNL talent. Everything he did made me laugh out loud. I enjoyed every skit on this DVD.

This DVD had a great compilation of old Phil Hartman footage from SNL. We laughed our heads off at the Anal Retentive Chef, Frank Sinatra, the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, Frankenstein, and many others. What a great talent Phil Hartman was. I wish it had the Anal Retentive Fisherman skit. I'm still looking for that one, but this was great. The package arrived exactly as promised and was in perfect condition, both before and after opening.

If you love Phil Hartman you’ll love this dvd
