saturday night live the best of chris farley | Year: 1998 Classification: Television Actors/Actresses: - Chris Farley A Comic Legacy. Though some may disagree, Chris Farley was a comic genius (if you don't believe me just watch TOMMY BOY). The characters he played were often loud, but rarely offensive and usually hilarious (compare that to the last five or six years of SNL; there is a huge difference). In part, his humoring was so appealing because Chris looked just like a normal guy and he loved making people laugh. This collection of SNL sketches and skits is a fitting tribute to Farley. The DVD includes "Andrew Giuliani"; "Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker"; "Chippendales"; "Superfans-Jordan"; snippets of "The Chris Farley Show"; a physical comedy montage; and "Lunchlady". There are a few omissions from the Chris Farley repertoire. However, most of the best ones are here. My only complaint is that there should have been more of certain characters (why wasn't there more "Tom Foley" sketches?). A wonderful DVD that any Chris Farley fan will welcome, and that non-fans can at least watch to appreciate the humor of Chris Farley. You can't help laughing... Over the years, I would see Chris Farley from time to time and find him only mildly amusing. I'm not sure what inspired me to buy this video in the first place...but I'm very glad I did. My wife and I were doubled over on the floor, totally out of control, as we watched some of the bits in this video. These are just priceless sketches from the Saturday Night Live archives. In case you happen to recall some of his funnier moments on SNL, here's a list of most of the routines that are on this video: "Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker", "Chippendale's Audition", "The Chris Farley Show" (interviews with Jeff Daniels and Paul McCartney), "Bennett Brouwer", "Roseanne and Tom", "El Nino", "Lunch Lady", "Japanese Jeopardy", "Herlihy Boy". We've watched this video at least 30 times--every time a friend (who hasn't already seen it) comes by for a visit, we offer to play it. It's just one of those videos you've got to have in your collection! Classic Physical Comedy In his short tenure on this earth, Chris Farley provided us with some of the funniest moments in "Saturday Night Live" history. Heavily inspired by John Belushi (not just in his comedy but his dangerous lifestyle), he suddenly became the show's most talented physical comedians, bringing the pratfall back to households. 5 years of classic comedy has been put on this dvd. Farley created for himslef a variety of classic charcaters for himself, including Matt Foley (who lives in a van down by the river!!!), Todd O'Connor of "Superfans" and Barney The Chippendale Auditioner. All of these classic characters are here. Also, there's his "exciting" impression of Laurie Davis in the "Focus On Beauty" sketch. There are several montages that just to show how funny he was: one where he's in drag, a montage of his talk show, one showcasing his physical comedy, an impressions montage, and one featuring outtakes from Dress Rehersal. Overall, very good. My one complaint may seem odd. There's not enough sketches featruing Adam Sandler! I know that the focus is supposed to be on Farley, but he and Adam shared so many great skecthes together, and they obviosuly bought out the best of each other. The ones with him are good, but it would have been better if "Zagat's" and "Gap Girls" (both featured briefly in the "Drag Montage) were on here. But still, it's an excellent dvd.
