He was a funny man who made me laugh.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Funny but overrated.

I never really was that enamored with his SNL bits other than the interview ones. Black Sheep and Tommy Boy were pretty great, though.

 

[S E P H]

He was what Robin Williams could never be, crazy, but never really crossed that line. Was definitely more natural in his comedy, where it didn't seem like he was trying too hard to be funny.

Wow that's so edgy of you

That veronica Vaughn is one piece of a*****ce

His decaf coffee freak out on SNL was about the greatest moment they had in the 90s when it was a show you actually set your clock to.

Good old internet, you can barely get into any thread without someone trying to be the Edge Lord of it.

Who?

As for Farley, he’s on the funniest people I’ve ever seen. Notice how he never put his hands out to break his fall when he crashed into tables? I imagine he got hurt a few times.

The weird thing is that he never thought he was funny. Everyone around him said he was one of the funniest people they ever met.

Matt Foley the motivational speaker is my favourite snl sketch ever.

The cast on snl when he was there was amazing. Carvey, Hartman, Sandler, Myers, Spade, Rock, Nealon, Schneider, Norm, Meadows.

Such an epic cast.

Chris Farley was awesome and many people label him as a "he was only funny because he's fat and fat is funny" guy. But the guy had so much charisma and just seemed so naturally funny and wasn't forcing anything.

Hilarious guy. Hard to believe its been 20 years.

The Chippendale sketch with Patrick Swayze on SNL was one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life.

Tommy Boy is an all time classic among comedies for me.

Black Sheep and Beverly Hills Ninja weren't nearly on the same level, but still had some laughs mainly due to Farley.

The scene in BHN where he pretends to be Chet Walters always cracks me up.

He was definitely naturally hilarious. Good, great, grand, wonderful.

Great sketch. Chris Rock doesn’t like how it ended though. He thinks it was mean that they called him fat. He said Chris should have been chosen as the winner in the end. I never really thought about it much, just thought it was funny, but I guess that ending could have still worked.

Either way, it’s a classic sketch.

Anytime I saw Bobby Moynihan on SNL doing a role that had to be played by an overweight guy (i.e. the Rob Ford stuff a few years ago), I'd always think that Chris Farley could've done it so much better.

My favorite Farley character on SNL was when he played himself as a nervous, bumbling interviewer, and most of his questions would start with "Do you remember...."

Oh, the Chris Farley show. The one with Paul MacCartney was classic.

“Remember when you were in the Beatles and there were all these rumours you were dead? That was a hoax right?”

“Yeah, I wasn’t really dead.”

It's always sad to see someone that made so many people happy die so young. Man am I getting old, 20 years ago already? RIP Chris.
