[@curtoffthepurp8134]

Cheetah1985 what interview?

[@Scorch1028]

Chris Farley was so believable playing characters that were 30+ years older than he was, because he imitated his own father so well. Many American men that were born & raised around the time of the Great Depression, spoke like Chris Farley's elder characters did. What was hilarious, was the way that Chris could take all of these older men's expressions and mannerisms and "condense them" into characters that made audiences explode with laughter. Bob Odenkirk, who wrote many of Chris' sketches at Second City and SNL, said people told him that Chris Farley was the funniest comedian on the planet.

My parents moved states last Christmas break, and I only had one year left of college at my local university. It was already paid for, but I didn't have enough money for rent, so I thought I was going to either have to drop out or live on the streets to finish school. My friend's parents (who I didn't really know at the time) needed a house sitter, so I was suggested to do it. When I got there to get the keys and whatever, they asked me what I was going to do with my parents moving and when I said that I had no idea, they told me I could just live with them for the year so that I could graduate.

But there is also, Charlie Chaplin, Rowan Atkinson and even Jim Carey. Jim is quite exaggerative but fkin hilarious.

Chris Farley brought this sketch to life. He was the all time greatest

The Herlihy Boy was one of my favorite sketch series’.

[@Dylan-Frost]

Imagine the guy on the left as your lawyer

[@chopperdeath]

Farley was so good at this.

[@perun1nj]

Those small mumbles Chris does as the camera pulls in on Adam tie the whole thing together.

[@Thedizzleman1979]

They so do. He was the best.

2:19 what I came for

Robert Smigel pointed out this skit in a recent interview and said of Sandler: "[The Herlihy Boy] wasn't structured like any sketch you've ever seen, and Sandler was one of the few people who were reinventing sketch structure back then. A lot of us were just writing 'simple premise escalates...' shit, and they were smart, and funny, but, they weren't as inventive, they weren't as fresh. He was just so pure, he brought so much originality to the show. He didn't fit any mold, he was in his own world, he had all these voices you'd never heard done in comedy before--a couple of them were derivative....[I]t was a sophisticated idea cloaked in a nonsensical silly voice." Sandler isn't my favorite SNL alum, but is is interesting to hear a comedy pro look at his work and find some depth there that many people assume doesn't exist. I can see some Monty Python absurdism in The Herlihy Boy, some John Cleese specifically. Though the skits I love the most probably are "a simple premise that escalates", like Bill Hader's great skit about the Grenada war veteran who takes a puppeteering class.

We'd tell him "Slow down, you'll end up like Belushi and Candy" He said "Those guys are my heroes, that's all fine and dandy"
