I use to love watching Chris Farley. Despite being a very funny man, he aslo had the talent of being able to move very quickly for a fat guy. He could do cartwheels and stuff. There used to be an actor called Fatty Arbuckle and he was just the same.
My favourite Chris Farley moments include the SNL skit where he is the motivational speaker 'Living in a van down by the river', and basically anything where he got super pissed off and screamed out "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD".

Chris Farley in the Chippendales sketch is exhausting and hilarious to watch. He was quite the energetic man.

Too funny...too sad...talent wasted!

Tommy Boy is one of my all time favorite movies.. TOMMY LIKE WINGY!

"Hey Matt, how can we keep on the right track??"

The image of Farley doing a stationary mock run was, like almost every word he said in his Matt Foley sketch, frenetic and over the top.

One of my favorite old Farley sketches was the Schillervision documentary on hidden camera commercials where Farley goes crazy when learning the waiter lied and have him "Columbian decaf coffee crystals". Fortunately, I found that sketch on Kazaa, I view it at least once every two days.

Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle was quite an actor from the silent era - his career did come to a crashing halt with that Hollywood drug scandal at that infamous party in 1920 or so. He was set to make a comeback in 1930 (had a new wife and young baby boy) in the talkies when he died of a heart attack.

Damn shame Farley had to follow the actions and lifestyle of his idol John Belushi so closely. Saw a special on Chris and they interviewed the last person to see him alive before he died from a four day alchohol/hard drug binge - a callgirl/prostitute. What a sad end for such a funny comedian.

"Why...you...son...of a bitch!" Classic Farley

And Tommy Boy is still in the top 5 of my favourite comedies of all time.

Man, he can seriously haul-ass for a fat guy. Too bad he had to go Belushi on us. I usually hate movies that are only about being funny, but damn, Farley could make anything funny.
