Adam Sandler Reveals the Origin of SNL’s Herlihy Boy

[@Opine_Divine]

That song about Chris Farley is just lovely and the best thing about his special.

[@jennifer9047]

These skits were on when I was in highschool and my two younger siblings were still little. I used to incorporate SNL lines into daily life and it rubbed off on them, much to my mother's chagrin. It became a very common thing in my house to hear my 8 year old brother scream and gesticulate at my mother, "For the love of all things holy, just let the boy have a cookie!" Hilarious. 😂

[@nebulousisgod]

Farley was just SO goddamned funny, it’s almost inhuman. I don’t care how he died or what he did behind the cameras but in front of them he was an angel here to give us humor and temporarily pull us from our grim lives.

[@jimkline746]

He didn’t get the respect he deserved. It’s sad, really.

[@rog9601]

@Zebulous -all you have to say is "Farley was just SO funny, it’s almost inhuman. I don’t care how he died or what he did behind the cameras but in front of them he was an angel here to give us humor and temporarily pull us from our grim lives." See how that sounds smoother? If you leave out the profanity, it makes you sound more mature and intelligent. Knock off the profanity here in youtube please.

[@pm2007est]

Farley was the life of the party. He was the funniest person of all time. Even saying that he is underrated. When he was alive we used to always quote him with my friends and people at school. Farley made everyone happy even young kids.

Can we STOP this cruel game, and let the boy keep one shred of dignity?!?!

I LOVED 90s/early 00’s SNL and the Herlihy Boy is totally a deep cut classic. I have no idea how Sandler kept anything close to a straight face. It’s just all so ridiculous 😂 ❤

[@trailingupwards]

He didn't have a straight face at all. They built Sandlers smirk into the character, because Sandler couldn't not smirk.

[@NewMessage]

Spade has that natural 'bitter sarcastic high school girl' lilt to his voice anyhow.

[@StevenEveral]

My favorite part abut that sketch is watching Adam Sandler doing his damndest to not crack up.

[@thebigjimmyd]

That's basically the sub plot of every sketch Farley was on. Watching everyone trying so hard not to laugh. I don't think I could've done it. Especially in the Herlihy boy & Matt Foley skits.

[@m0L3ify]

Gah, why do I tear up every time they talk about Farley. I miss him more than I thought I did. 😢

[@C0nstant1n]

Schneider killed it too, as the snarky bubble-butt latina

[@cindyvargas9277]

Hi Stephanie

[@Danimal77]

Adam is wrong. He didn't come up with Herlihy Boy. Here is Chris Farley YEARS before he did Herlihy Boy on SNL with Adam Sandler, doing the SAME character on Second City TV from 1990 or earlier: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paTRpWWgZb6Ghqc

[@Heywhatever2022]

Whoa that's crazy! I know his character was Herlihy because that was Sandler's college roommate's last name who went on to co-write a lot of his movies

[@rsstnnr76]

What does Herlihy mean?

[@Heywhatever2022]

Sandler's college roommate

[@weirdbeard1980]

It's a last name. Mine

[@carina9295]

Why are you preventing this outstanding young man from founding the group “please don’t destroy”? please?

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

I'm not gonna beg you.... please... please let me watch the video. Videos are made to be watched... just please let me watch it... please... please let me watch the video.

[@daxbradley4346]

On paper, that had to be the worst read ever. But Farley's ability to breathe life into it and carry the idea was testament to his comedy genius.

[@reality8605]

Wonder why Lorne won't allow it to be uploaded to youtube, or why it never made it to the Adam Sandler best of comp or Chris Farley best of.

[@alanwong8195]

I think Seth is fantastic with political commentary and interviewing political figures and pundits, but when he interviews actors and singers, his questions suddenly become so amateurishly leading it's as if he's already answering on his guests' behalf. I mean, "Are you happy that Chris Farley is still so loved today?"--how else is Sandler supposed to respond? "No, it's the worst thing ever!"? Open-ended questions aren't that difficult to ask: How do you feel about the response to your song about Farley? Why do you think he still connects with audiences today? Etc. I literally cringe whenever he asks a question with the answer already built into it.

[@TDC5]

uh, how is that explaining the "origin" of the sketch? covers nothing about where the idea came from or anything related to the concept of the skit. how about, "Adam Sandler reveals how SNL's Herlihy skit made it on air." ?

[@reality8605]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4Wboqaropx-a8k Long been my favorite sketch since it came out back when I was in grade 6. Endlessly quotable and after damn near 30 years I think it's a safe bet that I'll be quoting it for the rest of my life. Somethings just stick with you. Somethings last a long time.

[@milpool001]

Wash your own DAMN sheets !!!

[@jeancastro1654]

This title sucks. Nothing about the origin of the skit at all. I got excited for a minute to hear where this weird idea came from.

[@wacokid30]

Seth Meyers is dreadful lol.

[@spacechimp5141]

SNL has never made me laugh to the point I pee my pants. Sometimes It would make me chuckle. I've watched old episodes from the 70s, 80s, 90s and current ones and dude there's nothing funny about the show.

Is that a rhetorical question? Of course he's annoying. That's his thing. Annoying Guy with a heart of gold. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

[@jacksonabernathy4211]

@David Dutton well he needs to take a better look at the scripts he takes most of the time instead choosing to be an a''hole like he always is[in most people's opinions anyways] :{
