  • Oh shit looks like someone a Jedi with a fancy new light saber... Wait... Wow I feel stupid that's just your like bar.

  • Move out of that van by the river

  • Hes trying not to laugh

  • @GajeelRedfoxRocks Thats what makes you even funnyer! LOL

  • He's not funny.

  • Damn it, seeing this just makes me so mad at Chris for leaving us, he could have really done so much more

  • I've finally realized I am inspired by Chris Farley and I am I wouldn't say obsessed with him but if he had not overdosed I think he would've changed movies in a very positive way and would've been very successful

  • good night sweet prince

  • Hartman and Farley......two of the funniest guys out there! I still watch Tommy Boy religiously....and NewsRadio just to get my fix of both of them! :(

  • "Young lady, what do you wanna do with your life?" "I wanna live in a van down by the river." "well, you'll have plenty a time ta live in a van down by the river, WHEN YOUR LIVIN IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!!!!!!!!" lol...

  • i feel ya matt i was livin in a van...DOWN BY THE RIVER too til i took an arrow to the knee

  • I wanna live in a LIMMO down by the OCEAN

  • I know snl is supposed to have a lot of improv but I swear i saw a documentary once about how chris farley completed changed what they thought the character was going to be like at the spur of the moment. I don't even think he was supposed to fall on the table, He just up and did it because he knew how to get the laughs. I could be wrong on that. Either way he will always be my favorite snl actor by far.

  • @earwax12321 no it broke 2 clean 4 it 2 b not staged

  • Anyone who would dislike this is probably living in A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!!!!!!!

  • Bob Odenkirk wrote this sketch

  • i wish chris farley was still alive

  • Funny Ass Hell

  • Comment removed

  • 9 people live in......(applause)...a van DOWN BY THE RIVER

  • those who disliked this were told to shut their big yapper

  • 9 people didn't amount to jack squat.

  • 9 people can't recognize Bill Shakespeare.

  • Most of the van down by the river skits were improv like the table wasnt origknally involved but it ewas the funniest thing in the sketch

  • @TheRedStarburst That's an insult to the current writers who are putting a lot of passion and sleepless hours into what they're doing.

  • LOL

  • Chris Farley, my favorite and how sad he left us too soon.... sigh

  • eating a steady diet of government cheese!

  • When I saw this sketch on tv this scene was shot from the other side.

  • "We're gonna be buddies. We're gonna be pals.

    We're gonna wrestle around. Hotdog

    Ole Matts gonna be your shadow.

    Here's you. Here's Matt. There's you. There's...." (prat falls on table)

  • When SNL wasn't just an alternative for Ambien.

  • have you ever tried watching this without smiling...

  • @TheRedStarburst they try... chris farley took all the good ideas and nailed em! :)

  • Hipster Farley died after he motivated living in a van down by the river to be mainstream

  • Lol looks like he lost his footing...

  • why doesnt this have more views?

  • 9 people live in vans down by the river

  • 9 people live in vans down by the river

  • hahaha both David and Christina are cracking up so much!

  • i wonder how many times they had to rehearse this skit......

  • 9 people live in a van down by the river.

  • i love how david spade just cracks up when chris farley does the GET BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK

  • classic, no one will ever gonna be able to be as good as chris farley... best commedian that ever lived, R.I.P chris

  • FINALLY!!!!!!

  • Love the exaggeration on livin in a van down by the river!

  • I wish i was born in that generation. Saturday Night Live was so much better back then. 70s-90s were the best. Even really early 2000s. I'm 13 years old, and I wish SNL could be better than it is now. This is classic SNL. It's not AS funny now as it was back then. I apologize for this generation. Music is worse, SNL isn't as funny anymore. This generation is crap for entertainment. What happened? All I'm saying is I wish the younger generation would just realize this. RIP Chris Farley

  • @TheFrankman I would be too. Imagine being around Farley while he's doing a Foley skit. I wouldn't be able to last 10 seconds without laughing.

  • What's with his mouth movements at 1:43 as Hartman's character is answering his question?

  • It looks like this entire video is backwards lmfao.

  • 9 people dont live in vans down by the river

  • fucked up how phil and chris died.

  • epic

  • RIP

  • Best part is when he breaks the table hahaha

  • 9 people live in a van down by the river.

  • I loved how David Spade and Christina Applegate look like they're about to die laughing multiple times.

  • @TheFrankman The reason why in Chris's Biography, David said Chris did stuff that wasn't even apart of the original script, (Such as the belt adjusting) David also said that when he tried to look at Chris in the eyes, Chris would always be crossing his eyes and just looking like a goof. Lol

  • @TheFrankman Farley's bits are the best since no one can get through a scene without trying not to lose it. Zagat's, Lunch Lady Land etc.

  • @TheFrankman Not only that. But the fact Chris doesn't break ever-- even when the unexpected happens (the table). Shows what an incredible performer he was.

  • @TheFrankman

    I know man. Priceless!

  • 9 people LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!

  • I just love how David Spade and Christina Applegate can't stop cracking up.

  • ROLLIN DOOOOBIESS!!!

  • LOL! Man, I miss Chris Farley. RIP, bro. The best always go too soon.

  • Such a perfect character. The comedy was so zany and genius, so predictable, but funny, that even the supporting cast couldn't help but to break out of character, no matter who, every skit of this, everyone was on the edge of laughter. Rest in peace, Chris, you did a job well done.

  • Such a shame he let drugs get a hold of him...we were robbed of many years of comedy genius. RIP Chris. You are sincerely missed.

  • Bravo!

  • This has got to be the greatest comedy skit of all time!

  • Classic

  • i love this version, but the other one he does in spanish is hilarious. anyone know where to find it on youtube, because when i search, i cant find it.

  • After the international bankers and their property in government positions bankrupt America we are all going to be"living in a van down by the river!"

  • Effin genius!

  • Never watched SNL much but I was lucky enough to see this when it originally aired. Sad for the losses from this cast.

  • 17 years later and it's still funny. RIP Chris Farley..

  • There is no possible way I would be able to keep a straight face if I was in this skit. I would be losing it.

  • Comment removed

  • I had a Geography teacher JUST like this. He had a super deep voice and was always telling us about respect.

  • Oh god I love how Spade is almost losing it 24/7 here.

    R.I.P Chris.

  • Farley was in a class all of his own.

    Never had to be funny to be funny!

  • smh mad tv copy this a lil bit and made coach hines

  • Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha(:

    Well your gonna have plenty of time to live in a van down by the river when your...LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER.

  • My God now this is comedy,every second of this skit Farley is hilarious. 80's & 90's comedy was the best. Someone try and tell me that they didn't laugh their ass off watching this? I told the mother in law if she bitches about the turkey again tomorrow that she will be living a van down by the river by boxing day. Thanks for posting.

  • 9 people are living in a van down by the river.

  • I just love David Spade's reaction when Chris falls on the table, it's just totally unexpected, when you can make a fellow comedian laugh for an entire sketch, you know you're good. RIP, drugs are a bitch.

  • The best Chris Farley sketch of all time.

    "Dad, I wish you could just shut your big YAPPER!!!" omg... :)

  • Hilarious , people can barely keep a straight face in skit. Can you blame them

  • The 90s was no doubt the best years for SNL. The new ones are just stupid, they just don't make their skits like this anymore

  • well i am here to tell you that your probally gonna find out,as you grow up that your not going to ammount to JACK SQUAT!!!-- best line ever.... 0:56

  • @BanzaiSushi i think it was planned

  • @phxracing42 It wasn't actually. He played it off so well though! :)

    wayyy too funny

    RIP CHRIS FARLEY

  • 6 ppl are 35 yrs old,divorced, and live in a van down by the river

  • They need to make a movie bio about him. I know theres already one in the works for Richard Pryor. Now they need to do one on this guy, as well as the other late comedic legend in this skit: Phil Hartman

  • Watch Spade start to *really* lose it around 2.40. If I were in the skit , or just offstage while they were shooting this skit I'd end up rolling on the floor laughing, then get fired from SNL (LM says he really hates when anyone starts to giggle). HERE'S YOU, HERE'S MATT! THERE'S YOU, THER-- CRASH, table instantly destroyed. Christina Applegate said no-one had told her about the table crash, f you watch her face you can tell. RIP, big guy, your fans miss you.

  • Greatest motivational speaker ever!!!!

  • David Spade trying not to laugh!

  • We're gonna have to clean that up later.

  • @mjmcnult oopsy daisy. We're gonna clean that uplater. Me and my BUDDIES, MY PALS!

  • I laugh every time i watch this lol never gets old

  • @bacon1678 agreed, year after year, it still holds up and cheers me up. If I start feeling sorry for myself, I put this on and feel WAY better.

  • "You'll have plenty of time to live in a van down by the river when YOU'RE LIVIN' IN A VAN down by the RIVER!" That line never fails to make me laugh.

  • i miss u chris

  • R.I.P. CHRIS we miss you
