Saturday Night Live - Best of Jimmy Fallon (2005)

Hilarious DVD

Jimmy Fallon is probably my second favorite person on SNL, just behind Will Ferrell. I watched this DVD a couple of years ago and finally decided I wanted to add it into my permanent DVD collection, it is a great addition in my opinion. August 10, 2007

Too funny!

Jimmy Fallon is one heck of a great impersonator! My favorite sketches on this DVD are:

The one where he mimics Mick Jagger in the mirror;
The computer guy - so funny;
The Beegees parody with Justin Timberlake;
and finally the Weekend updates. Especially the one that Tina Fey has made a video of Fallon's musical tributes to holidays, and it goes back to Buddy Holly!
I love this DVD, and put it near my favorite Best of SNL's, like
Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler and Chris Kattan!

SNL fan.

Jimmy Fallon is funny but not as funny as many would think. He does get his laughs from messing up sketches which I dislike. Sometimes I get upset when he keeps ruining sketches. But overall as an Weekend Update reporter I really did like his jokes and interviews. I kindof wish that there was a dvd for all the Weekend Update for both Jimmy and Tina together. I would totally buy that. I did like the sketch where Jimmy returned at the end of season and I think he was imitating "Fonzie"? He does make a good parodies for music. I find it funny but sometimes I think he takes away too much camera time. Plus he looks at the camera too much!! Either he forgot his lines or he's looking for laughs....which seriously isnt funny.

I wouldnt say Jimmy is a huge star yet. His 2 movies : Fever Pitch and Taxi wasnt a good start. I would like to see what he will do in the near future.

I am upset that some of the classic SNL memebers were never given the Best of and Jimmy got his so fast. It boogles my mind and I kind of hate Lorne Michaels for doing that. I really wanted to see the Best of Colin Quinn. December 16, 2006

Fallon terrible, live studio audience terrible.

I think it's beyond question if you're a SNL fan - Jimmy Fallon sucks. I really believe Lorne Michaels thought he was funny for some reason and really let him get away with being terrible. I blame Lorne Michaels and the live studio audience for continuing to "reward" Fallon by clapping and going crazy every time he broke character. I never understood why the audience thought it was so great, it was funny when SNL members did it in the past because they did it only rarely; maybe once a season. Fallon cracks himself up every skit and the audience laughs and claps, so in Fallon's head he learns that when he breaks character he will get laughs, and so he did it over and over and over again. Terrible. If you bought this DVD you're sad. September 26, 2006

Jimmy Fallon- Funny man

I was reading some of the other reviews and here is the bottom line. You can't please everyone all of the time. Humour is individual. You either love the BBC's "The Office" or you totally do not get it. I Love THe Office-BBC version- and I loved Jimmy Fallon's DVD.
People criticize him for laughing during the skits, but to be honest, to some of us, it makes us laugh even harder.

Life without laughter is pointless.

So let Jimmy give you a chance to laugh today.
I know I did.
