I wanna goto the alternate universe where we never lost Chris, John Candy, or Robin Williams

Chris in a Fatty Arbuckle movie would have been phenomenal.

Imagine a wholesome Christmas dramedy starring John Candy and Chris Farley as brothers competing over who can get their kids the best gift for Christmas. And in the end the best gift is them. A bit of Uncle Buck, mixed with Tommy Boy, mixed with Jingle All The Way.

I was in the audience the first time Adam Sandler played his tribute song for Chris. I can testify that there was audible sobbing and crying several minutes after the song ended.

I don’t care what people say I loved Black Sheep!

Sad to hear he was always so critical of his own work. I always loved him in everything he did.

Dude Black Sheep was hilarious and I saw Beverly Hills Ninja in the theatre and everyone was having a blast. Chris is a legend and will never be forgotten.

Chris was the sweetest man alive. He could make anyone laugh, not just with his amazing physical comedy, but perfect comedic timing that really showed how smart he was as a performer. He had such a huge heart; so many people have stories not only of how unbelievably funny he was, but how incredibly genuine and kind. He never broadcasted it, but so much of his private life was spent helping others, through the work he did with his church and other volunteer groups. Even his closest friends had no idea how much he did until after his death. To me, the sad thing was that he had enough love for everyone on earth, except for himself. He never felt he was good enough in his own mind, even though everyone he ever met loved him. Addiction itself is a manifestation of pain, and it's one of the hardest battles to fight. Chris was so strong for holding out as long as he did. It's a battle we all wish he could have won.

Theres nothing funnier then watching people around him try to keep from laughing and breaking character

John Candy and Chris Farley always bring tears to my eyes when I look back on their films and documentaries. To me Chris Farley is the last comedic actor I've ever loved and John Candy, watching him go from SCTV to Uncle Buck was, in hindsight, a magical time to be young enough to enjoy his work first time around.

You started the documentary off by saying that you weren't sure you could adequately cover such a legend, but I assure you that you did him justice. Well stated and well edited. I even had a small tear at the end.

I like how delighted he was after Letterman would laugh.

Growing up with Farley with Black Sheep, Tommy Boy, 90s SNL, Beverly Hills Ninja, and Almost Heroes. Such good times. Black Sheep was my favorite one, funnily enough.

Only Chris Farley (and Robin Williams) can bring this immense mixture of joy and sadness every time I see them in old films. So upset that they can’t be with us anymore but so happy that we were blessed enough to ever have them among us.

I had no idea we only had him for seven years. We miss you Chris. You touched so many lives.

Imagine: Chris Farley in "Paul Blart - Mall Cop". Would've set box-office records for a comedy guaranteed and it would've been perfect.

Oh man, this is gonna make me cry, isn’t it? I really miss that guy. Tommy Boy is in my top 5 movies and I love all of the others, even Almost Heroes (the eagle egg scenes get me every time). Gone way too soon.

its sad how his films got bad reviews and yet we all grew up watching them and loving them...

I can see him playing the roles Kevin James did in those films by Adam Sandler

I kept waiting to see a clip of his Chippendales audition with Patrick Swayze from SNL. One of his best. Both men gone too soon.

In an alternate universe Chris is still alive, in good shape and still making people laugh

I'm 35, I'm divorced and I live in a van down by the river. Classic

The pure happiness Farley gets when he makes people laugh, it shows all he wants to do it make people laugh

I loved every film Chris was in, even the ones that underperformed and he felt weren't hid best work. He was one of my favorite actors growing up, and my whole family references Tommy Boy fairly regularly. There are even times, as recently as last month, where I think... What would the world be like if Chris Farley was still with us? What would the Shrek franchise look like? Would his presence have saved the projects of his friends that audiences were indifferent toward? Would he take on more serious roles? How would he change the landscape of movies? He influences and inspires people even today, twenty three years after his death. He deserved so much more than what he got, but he continues to give to others even now. I'm sure David Spade and Adam Sandler would say that that's just the kind of person Chris was. It's weird to feel so strongly about someone you've never met and will never meet.

When my mom worked at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Chris Farley was a runner there. She said he'd come into to work everyday hungover, but even then, he was still a hilarious guy.

“Almost Heroes” is highly underrated.

Chris Farley was the modern day version of Fatty Arbuckle. And "Tommy Boy" was a throwback to the days of "Laurel and Hardy" with the physical humor of a John Belushi.

He's always been one of my favorite actors. Such a shame he didnt have more time to go. Chris Farley had such a massive future ahead of him.

I remember driving to work that morning at about 7 something on the radio it came across Chris had passed. My eyes welled up, I was a huge SNL fan during late 80s early 90s that cast was just Damn good, SNL is no longer worth watching I gave up on it in early 2ks. I will never forget waiting to see what they had come up with through the week, Chris killed it always, the lunch lady, gap girls, meatloaf, Matt Foley..... Rip Chris many of us still laugh "with" you...

Chris had Letterman in stitches; grinning from ear to ear and laughing from beginning to end of the interview. R.I.P. Farley.

Why do so many comedians live such tragic lives? It's like they make so many people laugh that they don't save any of the happiness for themselves.

Forgotten failures: a league of their own tv series Mini doc : phil Hartman Almost cult classic: Paulie or the borrowers I hope to see those soon

I was in high school when he passed. I was such a huge fan, and I'll never forget how he was the first celebrity I ever cried about losing.

Chris Farley was so balls-to-the wall in all of his performances, it's hard to even compare that kind of kinetic energy to any other actor alive or dead. He was so 'himself' -- instantly recognizable in both delivery and style. The truth of Farley though, was unfortunately much darker and I think this undercurrent of shame and pain was one of the major reasons he was able to be so absurdly funny. What a weird catch-22. Anyway, awesome video!

Always been one of my favorites, seriously the scene in black sheep where him and david spade are in the bunk beds and chris is ontop and david spade on the bottom and the roof was tore off and it started to rain and david spade says "all dry down here" all cocky like and right then the top of the bunk bed snaps and David spade gets crushed in like a millisecond...shit murders me everytime.

I’m not crying, your crying! Ok I cried. How the hell so you miss someone you don’t really know? Crazy

Chris Farley was the Chris Pratt of the 90s he just never got around to getting into superhero shape. Dude was a heartthrob in the rough.

He was big when I was a kid. I NEVER laughed AT Chris. It broke my heart to learn he thought we were laughing AT HIM. LEGEND!

RIP Chris Farley, RIP Brian Dennehy.

probably the actor I miss the most. Never got to truly prove how good of an actor he was. I think he would have blown everyone away with dramatic roles

Hey.. Remember when he did.. like, all that funny stuff? Yeah, that was pretty good.

Tommy Boy is one of my favorite movies. Its hilarious. Chris was a genius. It's sad he passed away at a young age, but he is a comedic legend!

Almost heroes is prob my favorite. Me and my grandpa spent hours laughing at that movie

this is so sweet. thanks. First there was John Candy and then Chris Farley. Both legends that brought love and laughter. RIP.

You know why I love this channel? Literally every one is approached with the same love that I carry for these legends. I’m staying subbed

Rest in peace Chris Farley

I love this dude man I wish he was still here my this good funny man rest in peace

You are killing it with this docs Joe, I absolutely didn't know he was the original Shrek, imagine if he was part of Adam Sandler pose instead of Kevin James, I bet he would have saved a lot of movies!

Now ya gotta do one for Belushi!

I grew up watching all Chris's movies, amazing comedian, never forgotten by the 90's

How does it feel being the best KZfaqr that has ever youtubed? I appreciate you brother 🙏🙏

Man, 33 is so young. What a totally sad way to pass. Would've loved to see that Fatty Arbuckle movie; it would've done to Farley's career what "Chaplin" did to Robert Downy Jr.'s. Thanks for this touching tribute; well done.

Speaking of Dirty Work that could be a great episode on Almost Cult Classic.

Thank you for making this!! I grew up with Chris Farley, his movies make me happy in sad moments. He will always have a special place in my life! I made sure my kids have seen all his movies so he can make the next generation Laugh as well!!

My 5yo and 7yo love Farley. Tommy Boy and Almost Heroes are among their favorite movies, along with others like Pinocchio, Ghostbusters(not 2), Uncle Buck, Elf, and Back to the Future. They always say to each other "Brothers dont shake hands. Brothers gotta hug." Or when ever they see a squirle,"theres an animal now!"

Chris Farley was the last slap stick comedian. There's still a few old greats out there, but comedy has become snarky and sarcastic

When i saw the King Ralph vid I instantly thought of farley in that roll.

Great job man. This is a great video. As I get older, with every year that passes, I miss this man more and more, and with the perspective of adulthood, I see how truly special Chris Farley was. A shooting star. Chris and his SNL cast mates made my young life so much richer, and have absolutely stayed with me and molded my sense of humor. I cannot thank these guys enough.

This was a wonderful short take on Chris. I’m so sad he didn’t live long enough to make it huge with Adam in the sandler movies 😞

I tear up every time I watch any of these Chris Farley documentaries.

This one and your John Candy one just broke me. Two absolute legends taken far too early.

The bit with the Jerry Sozio character was Norm Macdonald's idea.

I read somewhere that, originally the role Kevin James has in Grown Ups was written for Chris Farely. I don't know how true this is, but I like to think that, in the alternate reality where Chris is still here he would definitely of made that movie a smash hit.

I don't usually cry at KZfaq videos. But damned if I'm not sitting at work, wiping my eyes at the end of this. I was a kid in the '90's. I was only 12 when he died and I still remember when it happened. I'll be 36 in a couple days and I still miss him as much now as I did then. I will never stop missing Chris Farley. He was the definition of legend. RIP Chris. You're still very much loved and missed. ♥️

This is why we live in the darkest timeline. No Chris Farley.

Love this channel. First time I’ve ever seen a channel that represents a good chunk of my American comedy influences. Thanks!

Only actor I ever shed a tear for when I heard about their death. A legend taken FAR before his time. RIP Chris Farley. You're still missed to this day.

I can't help but wonder what life would've been like had he been Shrek and Fatty Arbuckle RIP CHRIS.

I remember still when i heard he passed I couldn’t believe it and still to this day watch clips of him and cry laughing 😂 RIP Chris you still are the best!!

Notice how he made Adam Sandler laugh in every scene...

Chris Farley, John Candy and John Goodman are those kind of actor whom make the difference between the fat talented and funny guys beyond their weight and the guys whom are just the "fat funny guy". It's a shame he lived so little. I truly agree that his cameos in Sandler's movies are the best thing of those movies. He was meant to be one of the greatest... well, in a way he already is.

God Bless Chris Farley. Gone way too soon.

Oh gosh... I've loved Chris Farley for as long as I can remember, growing up in the '90s. His story just breaks my heart. You did a real fine job summarizing his film career, I appreciate all your work. Take care ❤️

I came of age in early 90s, so needless to say, Chris was a huge part of my teen/early 20s. Miss him!

The brightest stars always seem to burn out the fastest...It’s impossible to imagine the impact any one individual could have, that generation after generation, people resonate with the humor, humility, and overall relatability, that we share through Chris Farley. It’s all too easy to take the most seemingly simple things in life, such as the joy this man has given all of us, for granted. We tend to unknowingly dismiss the humanity of those we see as existing for our entertainment, while simultaneously diminishing their individuality, and relegating them to a particular subgroup, befitting our “entertainment”. As tragic as it is knowing Chris Farley will never receive the amount of admiration and happiness he’s granted us with, I think anyone remotely familiar with his accomplishments, can serve as a testament to his work.

A beautiful way to end the video. No YOU'RE crying!

Peter Griffin is just Seth McFarlane imitating Chris Farley.

Chris Farley was going to be the next John Candy, but sadly he died before he can make it. RIP.

Without a doubt he is the biggest influence in my life when it comes to building my sense of humor from a child to present day.....I wish someone knew what was missing in his heart that caused him to feed in to his addictions and demons.....everything I have ever heard about him was that he was the kindest and friendliest person,it’s truly so sad he wasn’t around for longer,I’ll forever be fond of every single thing he has done

Chris is a legend. A powerhouse of sweet stupidity and manic intensity. The only person more instrumental to my comedy upbringing is the immortal Phil Hartman. Love to see you take on his tragedy and his comedy.

I really don't understand people who don't think that the Van Down By the River skit is funny.

I’ve never heard of Chris Farley before till now, from the way to he makes people happy to his progression on the stage inspires me.

To this day, whenever something goes wrong or I want to make a point without offending, I say "Son of a. . . aw man!" or "Son of a. . . that's gonna leave a mark!" and people start laughing. It's my little way of making sure Chris is never forgotten.

Big man, they don't make em like you anymore. Chris forever 👍🙏❤

6:07 Back when SNL was full of mega stars lol

I think that if given the chance Chris Farley could have been a great dramatic actor.

The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.

Oh no man, i did not know he was so young. he was a Genius, Man. Miss him so much.

Such a joy to see somebody really cracking Dave up

Chris is such a legend!

This was beautiful. Chris Farley R.I.P.

Happy 60th Birthday Chris RIP

I can not watch that classic Matt Foley skit with out noticing David Spade breaking and genuine reaction of worry when Farley smashes thru the table (no one but a very few people knew it was a break away table).

Had a feeling you'd get to this guy eventually

My sons middle name is Farley. Major influence in so many live. Much love.

GREAT MAN!! Millions have dealt with addiction, it's hard to beat at times!! RIP CHRIS and TY for your life!! However brief it was!

Hats Off man, another great video, you need to do some advertising for your videos, even for a week

I'm really enjoying your content and shining a light on some of the lesser known films and actors.

Good job with this. At around 17:00 I was honestly overcome with sorrow. Tommy Boy is one of the most iconic characters in all of comedy, theres no doubt about that, and given the right roles, Chris would have been bigger than any of his other SNL colleagues. Very sad stuff.

Chris Farley, was and is a comedy legend. Forever in our hearts and minds. Always ready to make us laugh. Legend. Along with Robin Williams and of course Mr. John candy. The likes of which we will never see again. Thank you. 👍
