    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

      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."

      @@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.

They always say to each other "Brothers dont shake hands. Brothers gotta hug." Or when ever they see a squirle,"theres an animal now!"

      Teddy Furstman As talented as Chris was, I felt John had more range as a comedic actor, and probably would have transitioned well into dramatic work. With John, you never saw him as the funny fat guy, you saw him as just flat out funny because of how he delivered his lines. My biggest fear with Chris is that he would have been unfairly typecast, limiting his work, and from doing good work. John and Chris were completely different actors, talented in their own ways, sorely missed.
