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.
Funeralman04 I don't doubt it. In all of the documentaries and in his brother's biography about Chris everyone laments on how they had all wished that they would have been going to his wedding day on the day of his memorial 😪💔
I grew up with all of his movies. Being a kid you never think of it as a flop. It's just another Chris Farley movie, and therefore it's awesome. And I laughed my ass off at every one of them. I still quote Beverly Hills Ninja on a regular basis lol
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.
And also both of them were unselfish thoughtful people! They did alot for others and neither ever spoke about it! A couple examples is Farley giving and serving food at area catholic churches and John being very persistent to the studios for them to treat his co-workers even better than they treated him! Both died way to young but they were so great they will never die! Robin Williams is sadly in this group as well. Hollywood doesn't seem to have many of these humple classy people anymore!
@JT Michaelson but Farley wasn’t legendary like Candy was. Farley was a very sad, tragic person who hated himself. He only had 1 hit movie after SNL then he went downhill then died a very tragic death. John Candy had a much better career. Besides, Candy wasn’t so buffoonish like Farley was
@JT Michaelson you can’t really compare those 2, they were totally different. Candy was actually a very good actor and respectable as a person. Farley was a buffoon, I felt so sorry for him. It had to suck to have been Chris Farley 😢😭
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Oh cool, was trying to remember Almost Heroes. Going to see that one tomorrow now. And yes, to everything you said. He will be missed, he was just awesome in every respect.
My best friend growing up was the funniest guy ever. He's in jail now on a felony probation violation struggling with a drug addiction I wish I knew the answer to your question.
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!
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.
There's an animatic of Chris' take on Shrek. With that success under his belt, and the love of a nation of kids, Chris would have found what he was looking for, and, as Sandler sang, be doing "Grown-Ups III".
Yeah, Kevin James hasn't really been great at anything besides one stand-up comedy special and "King Of Queens". Farley would have smashed Mall Cop out of the threatre.
Kevin James is a surrogate for CHris Farley, think about it. Sandler, Schneider, Rock, Spade? this is the cast of SNL and Keven James just happens to be a comedic fat guy. Its not a coincidence
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.
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.
I think your mom is thinking of his brother Tom, who looks a lot like Chris and was also a heavy drinker when he was younger. Tom worked at the CME back in the 1980s.
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.
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...
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!!
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
There was a scene in Tommy Boy where Chris was talking about his relationship with his deceased dad, and you got a sample of what a good actor he was. I have no doubt that he could have done what Robin Williams did in playing dramatic roles like Good Will Hunting or What Dreams May Come.
@Hattsoffentertainment You truly take great pride in your work and it really shows in your respectful and kind insight into the late great Chris Farley. Thank you for your dedication to entertaining the world
It's criminally underrated. Perry was a great comedy partner for him, playing the smarmy straight guy. So many great lines in that. "Why don'tcha getcher own bottle."
I don't usually cry at RUclips 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. ♥️
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 ❤️
19:14 This is the darkest reality and we can't have nice things because of it. But that alternate reality where Chris Farley is pumping out Netflix movies is surely a better place indeed, well said.
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.
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.
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.
The last person to be with him was some call girl. According to her, his last words were "Don't leave me." Then she stole a bunch of crap off of him and left him there to die alone. That's the biggest gutpunch to me. The greatest comedic mind of a generation and one of the greatest comedic minds ever to live. Left to die alone in a puddle of his own filth like a GD animal.
Comedy has been snarky and sarcastic for many generations, all the way back to Groucho Marx at the very least. A lot of the vaudeville-to-talkies acts used snark for comedy.
@@danb9447 Eric Andre's comedy is pretty snarky and sarcastic. I wouldn't really call it slapstick just because he uses physical comedy. Slapstick is a comedian slipping on a banana peel, struggling to get up and when he does he slips on another banana peel and breaks his leg. That's different from Eric Andre saying "Hehe, so all democrats suck, and republicans too," then smashing his desk to pieces in a rage and lighting a chair on fire. I think the difference is that with slapstick the audience is supposed to laugh at the comedian suffering. With Eric Andre, you're supposed to think he's the smart one and you're laughing at the reactions of the people around him who don't understand what's going on.
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!"
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
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 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!!
Dirty Work would make for a good entry in either Almost Cult Classics OR Forgotten Failures, since it bombed at the box office AND killed Norm McDonald's career as a film leading man.
Took me 9 days to get to this. I'm not a performer like Chris was, but we share a common background and his story ends pretty sadly. I always think of him with some big time sadness. Thanks for such a great and respectful video.
I wanna goto the alternate universe where we never lost Chris, John Candy, or Robin Williams
That sounds like heaven
yeah hope the kardashians are killed in this one
Yo same man
I wonder if Robin Williams and Chris Farley ever met. Imagine those two in a friendly competition for laughs trying to outdo each other?
Or Phil Hartman
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.
Listen here bucko, I've got enough problems without the heartwrenching realization that some as good as that will never exist, ok?
@Wes 76 you forgot very funny.
damn you...for making me want that happen. ;_;
It makes me sad to think of the movies that could’ve been with those two
No. Lol.
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.

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

The phone reception tree scene is one of my favorites of ALL TIME!
I love Black Sheep
Same here!!
I agree, I also think it's a great film.
Chris in a Fatty Arbuckle movie would have been phenomenal.
YES!
him and chris rock in ghostbusters 3 woulda been the best thing ever
He probably was the reincarnation.
Sad to hear he was always so critical of his own work. I always loved him in everything he did.
the greats are usually like that.
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.
I love both and it hurts me also!
John Candy was light years ahead of Chris Farley though.
And also both of them were unselfish thoughtful people! They did alot for others and neither ever spoke about it!

I loved it. Very good doc and heartfelt to boot.
Yes, this is a very professional and respectful tribute to our beloved, forever young Chris Farley. Thank you.

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.
I had no idea we only had him for seven years. We miss you Chris. You touched so many lives.
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.
I ate sheep shit! It was me! I was the one who ate the shit. :)
Oh cool, was trying to remember Almost Heroes. Going to see that one tomorrow now.
And yes, to everything you said. He will be missed, he was just awesome in every respect.
I loved dirty work
COME ON YA DAMN, BIRD!!!!!!!!
Sadly by his own doing ..
I can see him playing the roles Kevin James did in those films by Adam Sandler
Grown ups might have been watchable... But that's asking a lot of Farley
Legit had this exact thought. Maybe Kevin James killed him? 🤔 Illuminati confirmed
@@travisrowe7697 nah that's too far
With Chris instead of Kevin, those movies might have become classics.
@Jeremy Backman Yes but even he would be hard pressed to help polish that 💩
Theres nothing funnier then watching people around him try to keep from laughing and breaking character
There was an SNL sketch with Michael Keaton. Epic.... back when snl was comedy, not propaganda.
The pure happiness Farley gets when he makes people laugh, it shows all he wants to do it make people laugh
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.
Exactly. Sad but true.
It's a way to cope with the world. If they make others happy, it helps alleviate the pain they can never overcome.
They can't afford therapy so they do stand-up
Some of us just can't shy away our demons and learn to cope with them without using drugs.
My best friend growing up was the funniest guy ever. He's in jail now on a felony probation violation struggling with a drug addiction I wish I knew the answer to your question.

Chris had Letterman in stitches; grinning from ear to ear and laughing from beginning to end of the interview. R.I.P. Farley.
its sad how his films got bad reviews and yet we all grew up watching them and loving them...
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.
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.

You're not alone friend!
I love how David Spade and Adam Sandler were cracking up about to break character. Chris was that damn funny
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.
Interesting choice of words...
Imagine: Chris Farley in "Paul Blart - Mall Cop". Would've set box-office records for a comedy guaranteed and it would've been perfect.
There's an animatic of Chris' take on Shrek. With that success under his belt, and the love of a nation of kids, Chris would have found what he was looking for, and, as Sandler sang, be doing "Grown-Ups III".
YES!
Yeah, Kevin James hasn't really been great at anything besides one stand-up comedy special and "King Of Queens". Farley would have smashed Mall Cop out of the threatre.
Kevin James is a surrogate for CHris Farley, think about it. Sandler, Schneider, Rock, Spade? this is the cast of SNL and Keven James just happens to be a comedic fat guy. Its not a coincidence
@@92bagder yeah, that's what he feels like. And I like Kevin James, he just doesn't come close. And I like him mostly because of King of Queens
“Almost Heroes” is highly underrated.
I love that movie!
Totally agree. The eagle's egg scene is hilarious...
I never knew there were rewrites and edits that changed the film. That would be amazing to see on a special edition version or whatever
That's what I'm saying it could be the best.
Great movie.
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.
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.
In an alternate universe Chris is still alive, in good shape and still making people laugh
I like how delighted he was after Letterman would laugh.
Honestly… had Chris Farley been around to play Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, I think he would’ve done a phenomenal job.
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
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.

This was beautiful.
Chris Farley R.I.P.
this is so sweet. thanks. First there was John Candy and then Chris Farley. Both legends that brought love and laughter. RIP.
Truth
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.
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
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!

The greatest comedic mind of a generation and one of the greatest comedic minds ever to live. Left to die alone in a puddle of his own filth like a GD animal.
Chris Farley was the last slap stick comedian. There's still a few old greats out there, but comedy has become snarky and sarcastic
+92badger Yes it has!
Comedy has been snarky and sarcastic for many generations, all the way back to Groucho Marx at the very least. A lot of the vaudeville-to-talkies acts used snark for comedy.
Someone's never seen the Eric Andre show
@@danb9447 Eric Andre's comedy is pretty snarky and sarcastic. I wouldn't really call it slapstick just because he uses physical comedy.
Slapstick is a comedian slipping on a banana peel, struggling to get up and when he does he slips on another banana peel and breaks his leg. That's different from Eric Andre saying "Hehe, so all democrats suck, and republicans too," then smashing his desk to pieces in a rage and lighting a chair on fire.
I think the difference is that with slapstick the audience is supposed to laugh at the comedian suffering. With Eric Andre, you're supposed to think he's the smart one and you're laughing at the reactions of the people around him who don't understand what's going on.
Pretty arbitrary but I think Brian Baumgartner is a great slapstick comedian, for example: his role as Kevin in the Office.
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!"
Such a joy to see somebody really cracking Dave up
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
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.
it's true the movie was actually in production around 1997 and chris was supposed to be in it but sadly it wasnt going to be made for another decade
My sons middle name is Farley. Major influence in so many live. Much love.
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!!
another beautiful docu-mini. Thank you for this
Now ya gotta do one for Belushi!
And Phil Hartman.
Why do you make videos about comedy and always make me cry. lol
Chris farley is a hero to me.
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.
Wow. I guess I can see how he doesn’t exist to younger people. Please look for his Best Of SNL Chris Farley videos. You’ll love him like we all did.
Wally Wheezer you never heard of Farley?! Where u been man?
@@videovoidtv YOUNG DOESN'T MATTER, LOTS OF VERY YOUNG PEOPLE NOW KNOW WHO CHRIS FARLEY WAS.
YES! I’m so excited to see a new docu mini! You make great stuff dude!
When i saw the King Ralph vid I instantly thought of farley in that roll.
I've watched your entire channel over the last few days. It's great man. Please keep them coming
Rest in peace Chris Farley
Dude. You made me tear up at the end.
Speaking of Dirty Work that could be a great episode on Almost Cult Classic.
Street Fighting Man !!!
..If you like Pina coladas
If they hadn't forced a PG-13 rating at the last second, it could've done a lot better.
Dirty Work would make for a good entry in either Almost Cult Classics OR Forgotten Failures, since it bombed at the box office AND killed Norm McDonald's career as a film leading man.
Big man, they don't make em like you anymore. Chris forever 👍🙏❤
This is why we live in the darkest timeline. No Chris Farley.
or River Phoenix:(Both lovely cats-the world was brighter&better with them in it!!:)
Took me 9 days to get to this. I'm not a performer like Chris was, but we share a common background and his story ends pretty sadly. I always think of him with some big time sadness. Thanks for such a great and respectful video.
I can't help but wonder what life would've been like had he been Shrek and Fatty Arbuckle
RIP CHRIS.
I've never seen Letterman enjoy himself this much with a guest! Great Docu -Mini! Thanks for that!
