I love this guy energy !

[@chrisirving8712]

I cried almost the whole day ..when I heard he passed

[@getawaydriver5363]

Hello Rob Ford!

[@tickedoffnow]

Kevin Farley looks and sounds exactly like Chris 😭♥️🙏

why can’t everyone just be as happy as chris and have a good time like the good old days here

[@keylay9453]

When I was a little boy, I cried when he died. When my mom told me how he died, I argued and never fully accepted how he died because I was a child and thought only bad people did drugs and surely my idol wouldn't do that. I wanted to be him. As a chubby blonde kid, I used to imitate him in front of the tv for my parents on Saturday nights.

[@scentlessapprentice88]

Same here. How innocent and naive we were right? Unfortunately so many of the greats suffered from the hand of addiction as it discriminates against nobody. He was one of the greats. Rip Chris, see you in the next one big guy.

[@HeatherLynseyMusic]

[@MrHeathcliff83]

awww poor baby

[@bm830op]

Same here. And then I became that person self medicating my depression with drugs. Just like chris I absolutely love to make people laugh amd have fun weather ots making fun of myself or acting a fool. If I can make somebody laugh it makes me feel good l do it because I know how the darkness and emptiness feel and I dont want anybody to ever have to feel that way. In glad I sobered up I was either going to be judged by 12 or carried by 6 I choose to live and get clean. And although I battle worse demons now I know now life is worth living...

During the 90's is when SNL was at the height of success in my opinion. Hartman, Farley, Rock, Sandler, Spade, Meadows really brought such amazing laughter.

“The strange one” .. can just hear Chris giggling up in heaven agreeing with this

[@sierradawson2402]

He is in heaven. But he has ONE large complaint and expresses it every day when he yells ''YOU MADE THIS SHIRT TOO SMALL...YOU MADE THIS SHIRT TOO SMALL!''

[@shaunradomski8625]

I'm young, born in the late 80s. My dad introduced me to Farley, along with the great comedy movies of the early 90s. More than I enjoy being alive, I'd give it up with no reserve to have Chris alive today. The man is a true form of happiness to this day, and in my darkest I can look upon his work and laugh, because life should be silly and we only miss what's gone

[@brendankobliuk7679]

I watched something on one of Chris Farley's heroes John Candy recently. One of John's friends said that John was always giving 110% to make everyone else's life better all the time that he could have stood to give that much to himself. Chris seemed to be very similar that way and the fact that both dealt with self esteem issues pushed them to give so much of themselves all the time. You only wish they understood how loved they were while they were still here.

[@lilace8419]

I lost my best friend to an overdose when I was 16 he was 19 back in 2006 and its still like we were chilling back yesterday

[@user-du7rn4cv6v]

There are people who do nothing special, nothing super cosmic. But when they leave their place remains empty. And you understand that no one in this World can replace this person. And only then do you realize how lucky you are to have such a person by your side.

[@nherrer98]

I absolutely agree. But Chris Farley was cosmic and special. No one will replace him or John Belushi or John Candy.

[@cynthianething7025]

I see his heart to this day...however, I do not think anyone truly realized how lonely he was. He always put others before himself, but did not take time for self-care. He would have been an excellent father and husband. What a talented and wonderfully made human being you were Chris.

[@notactive-11111]

It seems like quite a lot of them did, but nothing they did or said could ever get him to really feel better. They would always talk about how he said he didn't really think he was funny and that he thinks he's just fat and stupid or that he doesn't think girls really like him for him or that his success aren't as big as his failures... i guess it just got to a point that nobody could really do anything to shift his perspective a bit and not be so hard on himself. It's sad, some say he was really trying to stay away from his demons the last few months of his life, but he was just spiralling so quickly.

[@matatroy]

it’s a hard life for good people and we get trapped

[@dayra6425]

I grew up watching Farley. I remember my first year of college hearing Farley had passed, but no one was shocked everyone had seen it coming .. back then so many legends died young that it was just another person you grew up watching passing away. I think Tupac has just died a few months before, and Bradley Nowell a year before, Shannon hoon 2 years before, Kurt Cobain 3 years before. . You got use to it. I didn’t recognize at the time how sad of a moments they really were.

[@Juggernuts]

to quote ERB, "he was gone too soon, like watching a sunset at noon".

[@johnland1528]

Gone but never forgotten

[@jamestiscareno4387]

Chris Farley, the world misses you Big Guy.

[@abrahamnutrition]

Wow, I am so close in age to Chris. Sitting here with tears. Man, I loved him. Couldn't have somebody saved him? I guess you have to save yourself. I lost a cousin to addiction. Tommy Boy was great! R.I.P. Chris!

[@brifrazier5459]

I think everyone at some point tried to save him, but he wouldn't listen.

[@jayceew.rabbit9358]

His death made me cry as much as his life made me laugh. He was one of the funniest guys ever to walk his short time on Earth. He was genuine. 😪

[@Oldbutschooled]

Chris......Terminally kind......Deadly sensitive.......eternally loved...we miss you !

[@la-ia1404]

The personality Chris had was like a foundation on a house. He held up the shows and the house of laughter.

[@robpolaris5002]

My favorite part of the motivational speaker is how David Spade reacted when he fell on the table. Chris makes it look so real Spade almost jumps off the couch to help him at first. Chris was just that great.

[@j.w.1755]

In another video somewhere, it was explained that that stunt wasn't scripted. Chris did it just for the reaction it would get. The other actors reactions... Were genuine surprise...lol

[@NyQuilDonut]

It wasn't fake, he would really go limp and let himself crash to the ground without catching himself. Chevy Chase apparently told him to stop doing that, but idk if he listened or not.

[@robpolaris5002]

He was the most graceful, athletic, 300+ pound guy I have ever seen.

[@allendracabal0819]

@@j.w.1755 It was obviously a breakaway prop table, so maybe the other actors on stage didn't know it was coming, but it was clearly scripted.

[@dryhumor7302]

I was in the military back in the 90's. I was assigned to a patrol boat out of Miami. Every time we went out we watched Tommy Boy. It was an unspoken rule. One day a shipmate says "That guy was so amazing! Damn shame." I hadn't heard that Farley was gone until that moment. I watched that movie so differently after that. Damn shame.

[@lect0n7]

When Will Sasso says _“He’s as good a dancer as Patrick Swazey is”_ although that may be true, one of the things that *MADE* that Chippendales sketch was the fact that Swazey, as much of a master dancer as he was, while dancing in that sketch, try as he may’ve he just *COULD NOT STICK WITH HIM AS A DANCER*

[@mwebb999]

5:00 I can't believe 3 of the 6 people in that sketch have passed away

[@Thulgore]

I wish I could thank David Spade. So many people would be bitter about being in a duo. David seems to totally understand, accept and deal with it. To explain it in a comparison; Imagine if you had had a sibling die twenty years ago and everyone you knew was going to ask you about your dead brother somewhere in every conversation. I wouldn't deal with it well.

[@u.s.paratroops4633]

The Matt Foley Motivational speaker is one of the best skits on SNL-->save it !!!

[@Starrygirl63]

Ohmygosh he was only 33 when he died??!! What a sad loss for all of us. I’m his generation and I watched him perform back in the 1990s and early 2000s and he always had me laughing in tears. Damned drugs don’t do it y’all.... I raised my 2 boys by myself and they’re grown now. My youngest went to drug rehab 3 times. The first time he was a high school senior and I put him there. Then he went again a year later at age 19 and yet again a year later when he was 20. My point is PLEASE y’all to anyone of you who are struggling with drug addiction please accept the help that’s available to you. If you have to then do it in Chris Farley’s memory and in the memory of all the many others who lost their battle. ❤️

[@tkmcnichols]

He wasn’t alive in the 2000s. He died in 1997 :/

Everytime growing up and i put on a coat that didnt fit i was always singing "fat guy in a little coat"... i think there was so much more there than what fans saw. Would be an amazing experience to have even a small glimpse of what it was to hang out with chris. So much talent on that snl that overflows to this day. Rob, rock, adam, spade, farley...etc. man what i would have givin to be a fly on the wall with those guys. Def for them it would be hard to move on knowing outside of their family was the best times of their lives.

[@vicko1978]

When Chris died I felt like a family member died😥 I loved that guy, funniest ever.

[@ladygeena81]

Why do I get the feeling if I had met him I would have said he was one of the kindest people I had ever known? He was such a good man!

[@jasonspades5628]

Probably because he was overweight, came from nothing, and rich and famous.

[@jasonspades5628]

@Ongo Gablogian Sorry, you got it backwards. No. People are not a certain way because everyone thinks they are that way. Everyone thinks they are that way, because they are that way.

[@jasonspades5628]

@Ongo Gablogian And no, most "rich and famous" people actually stay and sign a picture or autograph. They have a habit of sneaking out when they can because if they are asked to sign something, they usually do. Even Chris Farley was a little more professional and laid back than his performances tend to lead you to believe. You act like you are defending him from an insult. Like its bad to be rich or famous. Its not a bad thing.

[@jasonspades5628]

@Ongo Gablogian Wait a minute.......you think being rich or famous is negative?

[@jasonspades5628]

@Ongo Gablogian You think you are defending someone. But, it reality your emotions make you ignorant and unable to rationally read something without making child like assumptions.

I wonder what would have happened if he didn’t do Black Sheep? I know he took the criticism very hard, and he was very disappointed with how the movie came out, even though he put everything into it. The fact that he was forced to do the movie makes what happened to him even more heartbreaking. I think there’s a chance that he wouldn’t have relapsed.

[@natethornton5646]

I loved black sheep but anyone can tell his heart wasn’t in it. Chris Farley is like Robbin Williams they loved to make people laugh, and yet they had depression to an extent.
