I mean, Farley was really just a drug fucked pratfall artist. Now John Candy was a funny fat man. He could do the fat guy stuff and the pratfalls but he was also funny, a good actor and a decent man.

Your probably fat and love Macondonalds

for me it's chris doing everything he did career wise to impress his dad
>>
Candy relied way more on what was written for him. he didnt really have much of a "thing" or funny mannerism.

Meanwhile farley had an iconic cadence, yelling voice, way that he would move, etc. Candy didnt really have any of these things imo
>>

Farley couldn't do one impression.

Farley was slop so it fits
>>
>>215126590
An anon made a thread a couple months back describing his career as “jestermaxxing” and I laughed so fucking hard.
Looking back, his stuff wasn’t all that funny. Tommy Boy is a great flick though and his final moments make me sad.
>>
Damn, OP. Now I'm really thinking hard about why I should NOT laugh at obviously funny things, now that you've disected comedy to its core.
>>
>>215126590
Collage in the 90s were different. Fat party animals were a requirement. John Candy is the fat guy that Chris will turn into once he takes collage seriously
>>
Fuck fat “people”

Lotta people study comedy for seven years.

John Candy has done as much heartwarming family slop and shitty, boring, unfunny stuff as he ever did anything funny. If you don't believe me, or if you were born after he died and somehow weigh the same as he did, go look up his filmography
>>
>>215127176
How do you deal with resentment for a fat girl you dated after she got the best of you? I don't know how, do you just let it go and eventually she dies from burgers, or do you call her and tell her exactly how much better than her you think you are? Should I beat her up? Why is it hard to deal with getting used by a fat girl? I feel very disappointed in myself but I want her to know it, but it shouldn't matter. Tell me.
>>
what's nuts is that chris farley wasn't really even THAT fat at least in his early career. he was just a little husky. it's mostly his face that's fat
>>
>>215127455
Thats a fat person, anon. Gen Z has warped your brain. It's also really fucking funny to see a fat person. Classic joke, just being fat.
>>
These days a van down by the river sadly is a realistic option for people with how shitty house/rent prices are.
>>
>>215127606
Um, sorry sweaty, van life is a choice and more and more people are choosing vans and tiny homes ON PURPOSE not because things suck!
>>
Farley really was just a shittier john belushi that had to shout all the time to get laughs.
>>
>>215126590
Why are we pitting them against each other? They both gave us hilarious kino, and were gone too soon.
>>
I know a lot of people on this board will shit on me for saying this, or think that I'm trolling, just trying to get (You)'s, or think that I'm trying to be a snowflake by taking on a contrarian opinion, but Chris Farley was funny.
>>
Both Candy and Farley were funny, but a different kind of funny.

The first snl sketch i saw was the best of Chris Farley and it was my first exposure to late night with Jay Leno and conan. It was pretty cool.

>I mean, Farley was really just a drug fucked pratfall artist. Now John Candy was a funny fat man. He could do the fat guy stuff and the pratfalls but he was also funny, a good actor and a decent man.

John Candy was in a different category, really. He never did the fat-man slapstick routines of Chris Farley and was more of a 'straight man' in so many occasions. I would say Farley was closer to someone like John Belushi, but even then Farley went hard into the hyper-active klutzy manchild direction when he was performing.
>>
>>215126590
They were both good. People like Chris Farley because he had some pretty cool roles and also because of the drugs. People tend to like celebs they can identify with like celebs who were on drugs or had a lot of drama in their personal lives. But the crazy thing is the same stuff that gives celebs from past generations nostalgia would be career ending if it happened today. Thanks to social media. Back in his time you weren't able to keep up with a celebrity's personal life in real time. Most people didn't even know Kurt Cobain or Chris Farley or Janis Joplin were on drugs until years after they'd died.
>>
>>215128895
Funny how?
>>
>>215127455
Yeah after being used to the likes of Stavros and some of these other fat fucks you see on tv today, Farley on SNL looks svelte in comparison. He has the face of a much fatter man like you said, but he looked about high 200s low 300s on SNL but he was more athletic than your average fat guy since he was a former football player like I watched this old clip recently of him on Conan storming in during Sarah Jessica Parker’s interview and was like damn he actually looks pretty good here this was like right before he started doing drugs hard again and got fatter than ever (like how he looked in dirty work and almost heroes and that last time he hosted SNL months before he died)

>>215126590
Tommy Boy is a top 5 90s comedy, him and Spade were kino
>>
>>215126590
Farley and Candy are the best comedy fat guys. Never got Belushi though who’s alwyas held in such high standards never really laughed much at his SNL stuff of his movies I guess he’s the one I don’t get.
>>
Yeah but Candy realized hollwood was filled with pedophiles which is why they had to kill him er had a heart attack in mexico where no real legal investigation would happen

so they'd rather people remember Farley
I mean Van down by the River was pretty funny
>>
He's from a time when yelling = funny. His SNL stuff doesn't hold up.

I cant say much about his comedy skits but I love all of the Farley Movies he was in. I still watch them randomly.
>>
>>215126590
First Van Down By the River was an all-time SNL sketch, and it was much more than him just yelling, unfortunately it led to SNL turning him into the yelling man and they ran that specific sketch into the ground.
>>

First Van Down the River sounds like and excellent title for a new Disney Pixar production. Captcha wrapn. I'm a god damn rapper.

He was the quintessential American every man. Fat, loud, unfunny, obnoxious degenerate.
He has been replaced by current day American every men, whining niggerloving cuck, Bill Burr, and pig thick niggerloving downy Shane Gillis
>>
Why didn't that hooker help him when he was dying?

I've seen it first hand, they scatter like roaches at any conceived repercussions, brother :/ (my neighbor used to fuck hookers)
>>
>>215131507
You're right but I disagree with the second sentiment. Don't think anyone ever replaced him. Maybe in the current zeitgeist for a split second, but historically I don't agree
>>
>>215126639
Candy had talent. Farley was Fatty Fall Down Go Boom and never more.
>>
>>215131799
why are you bullying a dead man?
>>
Farley and Candy are not comparable. Farley was a clown who is fat and falls down. He is a joke because he is silly and you laugh at him.
John Candy is barely a comedian. He plays serious, warm and likeable guys. He wasn't funny fat. I don't think he was funny at all, just kind of a character actor. He was just so tall and large that he is like an immovable object. The energy he gives off is that he is so big that you couldn't get rid of this guy if you wanted to, he has a kind of car salesman energy to him. He'll be all friendly and charming but you know this guy can kill you with his fat hands.

Candy weighed the same as Farley but was a foot taller.

This was definitely Uncle Buck.

Just gotta realize at some point that you are living amongst these people.
>>
>>215131602
how could anyone replace him when fat people no longer had to be funny to be accepted?
>>
>>215131828
Oh no. The junkie overdosed. Sad now.
>>
Farley was great in drag too like the Gap girls bit, Candy or Belushi did not do much drag and it was not memorable. This is no longer acceptable to zoomers now since its femphobic.

Ick.
>>
Farley and Candy differed greatly in what it is that they were able to bring to the table, but their commitment to being the funny fat guy is what ultimately spelled their demise.
I would love to have them both back; Farley would be riding the coattails of his role as the loveable swamp-dwelling grump Shrek and Candy would be in his third term as Canada's prime minister. Fuck this fucking timeline.
>>
>>215131847
candy was funny but not lampshade on head funny, some of his sctv bits and characters were hilarious, but he had more range than farley. i like chris farley and he did some great work but he was hard typecast from the word go.
>>
>>215126590
He wanted to play fatty arbuckle, now paul walter hauser is playing him. Doomed fatties are tragic roles
>>
>>215126590
Candy = Monsieur Hulot in mid-budget Hollywood. Farley = rude sidekick in rude comedies aimed at young men.
>>
>>215133688
A noticeable dumbing down in mainstream entertainment by then certainly.
>>
Farley was the funniest. Belushi was the best actor. Candy was the most likable.
>>
I like that song Sandler has about Farley. He's one of the good ones, Arnold White loves him after all
>yeah I miss hanging out watching you try to get laid

It's your own damn fault for getting with her. If a man is used by a woman, he usually deserves it for being a weak pussy. Learn from it and don't let it happen again.

Hmmm. I'm comfortable with that.

How can you be into coke and morphine and still be that fat?

Same way Artie Lange was a fat greasy bloated wop even though he snorted heroine on the daily

Imagine being so worked by Chris Farley being a jovial fat sack of joy 25 years ago that you actively hate on a dead person. Where does it come from, anons? Someone talking dogshit should be able to say something funny it right? Is this entire place bots?
