Chris Farley
In my opinion, Chris Farley is the funniest man who has ever lived. He had an undeniable talent for making people laugh. But why is he so funny? Why do I enjoy his comedy so much? These are the questions which I will attempt to answer in this blog.
The first encounter I ever had with Chris Farley was the movie Tommy Boy. I first saw it probably 7 or 8 years ago, but ever since it has been one of my favorite movies. It is one of the best comedy films ever produced, without a doubt. The tandem of Chris Farley and David Spade is undeniably hillarious. They compliment each other so well. Chris Farley's strength is his physical comdey, while Spade's is his wisecracking verbal jokes. These two skills bring out the best in each other.
For years, I did not see any other films with Chris Farley in them. But when I saw Saturday Night Live's The Best of Chris Farley, I instantly knew he was my favorite actor. I have now seen every movie with him in it, my favorites being Tommy Boy and Almost Heroes.
Everyone knows Chris Farley's strength is his physical comedy. In all of his SNL skits, and each of his movies, there are many moments where Farley takes over the show with his physical antics. He is so skilled at this, a seemingly stupid joke can be made hillarious by his delivery. His physical stature compliments his style very well. Perhaps it is because his stature is not "the norm". Maybe he isn't "hygenic". Perhaps he isn't "Camera-friendly". However, few can resist to laugh when they see Farley. We feel sorry for some of his characters, and yet can't help to laugh.
Farley died in 1998. It was a very sad day. Chris loved to make people laugh. So go and watch some of his stuff. It's gold.
