Certainly one of the best physical comedians ever. Most of his other work on SNL was so-so. The bit he did with Patrick Swazey was shockingly funny though. RIP Chris.

There is a sweetness and crazyness to most of his characters. Nothing better than his "zagat" reviews with Sandler. You we're always on his side and all his characters as odd as they where you still wanted to be their friends. Never boring

I love Matt Foley, that is great. For the Homecoming skits in high school, I did two of Farley's, one being Matt Foley which of course got laughs. The best one and probably my favorite is Bennett Braurer. In the skits, I couldn't hear myself talking because the rest of the school was laughing so hard.

A couple of funny moments, but people really just laughed at the guy because he was a big, fat doofus. Occasionally funny, mostly just annoying.

who else can fulfill the same role in every skit or movie he ever did and keep getting funnier? truly a sad day when the world lost this comical genious. i enjoy his movies more than his SNL days, but those were nearly equally as hilarious.

There's no accounting for taste. I'm not a fan of physical comedy, but Chris Farley is the exception. He did it so well that I couldn't help but laugh at everything he did.

Good physical comedy Look The catagory is not refined comic genius or cereberal comedians As a sketch comedian he was great. matt foley, bennet brower. classic. I have a masters degree but that does not mean I can't get into some first rate crude humor

I wouldn't go as far as saying Farley was a comic genius. He had two gags: looking stupid, and shouting. I guess some people think that's funny, but it certainly isn't indicative of a whole lot of talent. I gave him an extra star for being in the skit with John Goodman THA Bears The Chippendale Trouts were pretty good too.

Remember when he was in Tommy Boy and he lived in a van down by the river?....That was awesome. A comedic genious. He could get people laughing by any number of ways. Great and much missed.

I liked Farley, but let's face it, a lot of his humor was based strictly on the way he looked. He was hardly a comedic genius. It would have been interesting if he had lost his weight to see how his career would have developed. Sad...

It is perhaps tragic that this good man was cursed with an appetite for self-destruction. But Chris Farley was truly a legend whose outlandishness made audiences crave for so much more. He might have left the stage too early, but he does deserve one last curtain call from the countless fans who appreciated his rare talent.

A native Wisconsin, he was a hilarious comedian who ran into a few too many problems in life, ultimately dying of a drug overdose. It was very sad too see him go, but many of his characters on SNL and movies almost keep him immortalized.

One of the worst actors to come out of SNL, well next to Will Ferrell anyways. It is awful when anyone dies in the way that he did, so I am not judging him over that. I just didn't care for his acting or his comedy. It was boring and very overrated.

Though he did in some ways play the same guy over and over again, he always seemed to throw in a little twist with each character... but even without a twist the guy was hilarious over and over, and over again.

Chris Farley was one of the funniest guys I have ever seen on tv!! I loved the movies he played in and they would make you almost pee in your pants you laughed so hard. It is a great shame to see a man who had the talent of making people laugh when deep down he had his own troubles that ultimately led to his untimely death. I wish he could have been around longer to make us all laugh some more but all we can do is watch the reruns of SNL and the movies he made. It also angers me that if that hooker that was with him had maybe stayed around like he asked and maybe called an ambulance instead of taking a picture of him laying there and shutting the door he may still be around!

Chris Farley was one of the, if not the best SNLers of all time. Everything he did was funny. His speech, manerisms... everything. Also, those who say he did nothing but yell, one very funny skit he had was the girls at the mall. He yelled once, and it wasn't even in the context many people are referring to. Chris Farley was a living legend and should be remembered as that. Black Sheep and Tommmy Boy were also good.... HELLLLLOOOO WASHHHINGTON!!

He turned his body into a source of humor. I think it is healthy to poke fun at yourself and accept who you are. Either that or you can appear on the Maury show and create this sob story about how hard it is to live the life of a fat man.

A mediocre character who managed to get laughs by being obnoxious and poking fun at himself more than actually being funny. However, I really quite enjoyed his "van down by the river" segments- by far his greatest contribution to the show, as well as his impression of Tom Arnold.

This man was hilarious-- my favorite SNL member of all time. The motivational speaker role was so funny, the Schmidt's Gay Beer, and the Chippendale tryout with Patrick Swayze... could a man get funnier? This guy made me laugh so hard it hurt, and he also projected a real warmth, you really got a sense of his true persona. I was very saddened by his death, such a waste.

He once said his influence was John Belushi. Why did he have to live too fast like him? His ultimate skit is Mr. Foley the motivational speaker. I laughed til I cried when I saw that skit (with Christina Applegate as guest star). It's still funny today. Him and Spade were the Lennon and McCartney of comedy. They were flawless together.

farley put 100% into his comedy, and unfortunately was long over due for a heart attack. with that 'down by the river guy' man he was practically wheezing. all the SNL skits he did were stellar. tommy boy and black sheep sucked. please SNL, stop all your comedians from acting in films.

The second coming of John Belushi. Live fast, make'em laugh, die waaaay too young. Even Dennis Miller, upon meeting Farley, predicted a similar fate to Belushi. He was larger and bigger and louder than life, but most of his comedy had a touch of sadness to it. A damned shame that he's gone.

Chris Farley was one of the msot annoying actors on SNL at the time. He could never carry on his roles to be funny, and instead he would overreact in them. He was funny when he played a woman, which would get annoying after a while too, but he didn't really fit the cast.
