I liked Tommy B0y and his stints on SNL were pretty funny like that NyQuil commercial where it put him in a coma for 6 months/the infamous Chippendales skit. I have a feeling he knew his shtick wasn't sustainable hence why he was going for Shrek, but overall I like him when he was given the right role.

RIP, Tommy Boy is just one of the films that defined growing up for me. I remember most of the scenes and love the road trip aspect of it

love 'Billy Madison'. Chris wasn't in it enough or over the top enough to effect the movie for me.

did you see the poll? I'm not telling people what to like, I'm asking for reasons why people like what they like.

Dude whoever you are thank you soo much for this i have been researching this guy forever and grew up with everyone loving him so much for his comic genius the problem is he only does 20 swconds of comedy and its the exact same every time busts the door down screams and yells gets really nervous and getty in the interview and wuickly bursts out again... he seems like he actually would be really funny in real life and a genuinly awesome guy but i dont have any evidence that he can be funny in any other way then what we both mentioned. And when i dare say it in public i am shot down right awayevrytime with the same bs omg you just havent seen the good stuff or he was hurting inside which has nothing to do with why i dont find him funny actually maybe it does because everyone would just egg on his coke fueld style so he gave them what they wanted i bet if more people would have asked for more then a screaming ape he might have appreciated it and been a lil more himself once in a while but noone wants to see the real guy they just ignore the provoke the issue untill someone dies and then afterward they say thimgs like he was hurting so much i feel like it was easy to tell that he was going to die he was always more loud and coked out then the time before. And i truly blame his friends for letting it go down so blatently because he was the actual star so they didnt wana risk not getting more paychecks at his huge exspense. Also the fans for egging it on... oh yea and the classic response when i ask how hes funny. Living in a van down by the river thats all they ever axtually know

He did gave charm you could tell that he was capable of doing it and it was amazing the first time you saw it but after like the third timenur like oh hes screaming and forociously moving his arms again ohhhhh booooyyyyyy!!!! Super funny in billy madison super funny when he did those sketches with adam sandler where he played the old housewife i think thay was his best shit but im sure nobody will agree because he doesnt scream or purposely fall and break something and act like its brlievable at all

To me, he was not funny... like, at all. That flailing around and acknowledging that you're a fat person, is not inherently funny to me. I like plenty of actors who use physical comedy (Jim Carrey, Steve Martin, etc.), so that's not the reason I don't like Farley.

I remember enjoying 'Beverly Hills Ninja'... as a kid; but I also liked scratch n sniff stickers and trash like 'Ren and Stimpy' when i was a kid. After I grew up and saw his work as an adult, his shtick lost all appeal and i do not understand why he's praised as a comedy legend.


if you disagree, please explain what made him such a great comedic performer.
I loved tommy boy and beverly hills ninja, but I'd say if you want physical comedy, go watch some Jim Carrey, Bruce Campbell, Three Stooges, etc.

A lot of people just did it better then him, but that doesn't make him bad.
