Gilda was golden and no one spazzes out in a cheerleading costume better than Cheri Oteri, but this tape is about the boys. <I>Saturday Night Live: Bad Boys</I> collects over an hour of bits from the male cast members that ruled the early 1990s. Rude, raunchy, and ridiculous, the favorite characters are all here: Rob Schneider as Copy Guy, Adam Sandler as Operaman, Chris Rock as Nat X, and David Spade as Dick Clark's receptionist ("And you are?").<p> There's a few collaborative gems, too. Chris Rock and Tim Meadows pour on the sweet talk in the Boys II Men spoof "I Wanna Suck Your Big Fat Toe." Woody Harrelson convinces everyone to take their shirts off at the beach, including Dana Carvey ("The sun feels good on my baboon heart!"). And everybody gets up close and personal as horny busboys with Kirstie Alley. <i>Bellisima</i>!<p> It's by no means as exhaustive a review of <I>SNL</I> history as the 25th anniversary video, but <I>Bad Boys</I> does serve as a good reminder of a particular <I>SNL</I> era. If the antics of these guys aren't your thing, then allow me to quote David Spade as Total Bastard Airlines' exquisitely snarky steward: "Buh-Bye!" <I>--Bob Michaels</I>
Viewer Reviews
...As far as the skits go, the best two are the first two and it's all downhill from there. The first one is the classic skit with Helen Hunt where her and David Spade are a couple of flight attendants. They are trying to get the people off of their plane as quickly and rudely as possible. "B-bye!!" The second skit is the one with Kirstie Alley in an Italian restaurant. The amorous employees of the restaurant become more and more affectionate toward Ms. Alley...much to the dismay of her husband (Kevin Nealon). It's very funny!Alas, the rest of the tape has a few chuckles but I think the makers of the video knew what the best material was. They purposely put it first on the tape to get you quickly into a laughing mood. Skits involving the "Copy Guy" (Schneider) and Dick Clark's obnoxious receptionist (Spade) may have been a cute idea many years ago but they now seem painfully dated and unfunny. As far as Farley and Rock go? Ouch! I am not commenting on their abilities as comedians. I am simply letting you know that the material chosen for this tape is not even close to being their best stuff. Look elsewhere if you want to see their comedic talents. All in all, this tape is a lot like the TV show. There are a few big hits but way too many misses...
