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
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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
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!"
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.
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.
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.
"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.
R.I.P Chris Farley.
