The Life Of Chris Farley - Documentary

[@dr.carter7838]

Thank you for this! It's both beautiful and heartbreaking. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Chris. He would have been 60 today.

[@davefoster1396]

I've never felt more empathy for a person. Legend.

[@ChristopherHatton-m1q]

Joker 2 was good

[@JakTripperUniversity]

bro, ive watched all the Farley content i can possibly find when rummaging through youtube and this is really dope work. Farley to me was my Belushi to Chris.

[@stefanosprokopis6974]

Hes a fascinating man

[@morgue023]

Yeah same here. I absolutely love Chris farley I'm 30 now born in 93 I was just a little girl when I first ever watched Tommy boy with my dad he loved him too and all those guys. I was instantly hooked by his personality and comedy still watch his movies and sketches today and think of my dad. Chris was truly one of a kind you only come across a human like that once in a life time.

[@alexanderboyd14]

This documentary was everything I was looking for. I appreciate all the work!

[@SongJLikes]

I really appreciate that blank screen with music at the end so we can have a moment to reflect on how much we all love and miss Chris…

[@Butttsack]

Great way to end, my mind definitely wasn't blank after hearing the ending

[@tomboro9211]

A legend we lost to soon. We miss you Chris

[@MummaQuan]

So glad to catch this at the premier! Chris Farley is a legend & will never be forgotten. He had his own demons to fight but he brought joy & laughter to so many of us. Rest easy Chris! ❤

[@Stroheim333]

This is another, much better level of KZbin biographies! Thank you!

[@adellegiles377]

Thank you for posting this! So many photos I have never seen and sweet stories. Can't thank you enough.

[@thekeepers15]

"Rev Matt Foley" ... When I saw that I laughed out loud . Its funny thats where he got that from.

[@AdrianSmith-ds6yv]

😂😂😂

[@doomdoomerson6524]

He was THE ACTUAL " BEST OF ALL TIME " TO EVERYONE that reads this and doesn't already know this. This man was Funniest man of all time!

[@Lola_B_]

This was actually really informative and I’ve watched tons of these.

[@halfsharkalligatorhalfman]

I appreciate that you researched, wrote, and edited this documentary together…yet decided to leave in your VO mistakes. Very interesting choice as there are only a handful but each sticks way out 👏

[@GotMesomeMe]

uuuhhhh...wow. Whelp, I do believe that this is probably a better documentary than the others. Even the 2 big-time ones. Outstanding! thanks

[@n00bJesus]

I watched your Norm Macdonald doc and thought it was fantastic. I clicked this one just now and see you only have 9.2K subs. That is SHOCKING. Admittedly I just now will subscribe, but I hope this vid does just as well and other viewers follow suit- you deserve a hefty following! EDIT: just finished the vid. Great work! If you care to hear constructive criticism- I didn't like how sad the ending played into. It is def a super sad ending to his life, especially with context, but maybe something more honoring or celebrating the joy he brought everyone while he was here or some such. Just felt a little off with the sad music playing to a black screen for the last 20 secs or so, right after the bit about his brother finding him/putting the rosary in his hand. Great stuff tho! def subscribed!

[@vashdesperado1232]

I don't usually feel bad when celebrities die. They lived a great life, you can't honestly feel bad about it. But Chris Farley is another story. He lived to please and died before his time :(

[@opaljk4835]

You could care about people that bring you joy.

[@benjaminlebaron7128]

I cried like a family member had passed. I still remember the day my dad sat me down and told me Chris had died. He was a genius!

[@emptyingmyballsinyomommymouth]

That is the dumbest comment 😂

[@emptyingmyballsinyomommymouth]

Lol this comment is so stupid

[@benjaminvalenti1242]

Yes I agree with everything you said but I really think a life lived through this world without Christ is a very huge tragedy plus I feel the same way about two other famous professional wrestlers the whole Eddie Guerrero Chris Benoit tragedy and situation

[@ThreeToesofFury]

Excellent doc and tribute..thank you very much.

[@joeptech]

Laughed my ass off many a time at Chris Farley in sketches and movies. He was a comedic genius! Gone too soon. RIP Chris ❤

[@timidbeauty2355]

Happy Heavenly 60th Birthday Chris Farley. 😍😘💋🤗 🎂🎈

[@dave98225]

Thank you. Well done and touching stories of a wonderful soul that made us laugh. You are dearly missed. RIP

[@CatoTheAdopted]

Thanks, dude!

[@scottystcloud7086]

This was great, thank you!

[@bohemianman500]

when i was watching documentaries and videos with him..after i had 3 weeks when i had dreams where we were hanging out like we were long time friends and i can clearly remember him watching me with his inocent smile and asking me sily and funny questions....i never felt so many empathy to one single person who i never really met in my life...unfortunately i never saw him ...im so sad for him

[@WhoAreYou-.-.]

I do the same thing with comedy to deal with trauma of life etc and so does my whole family. They forgot at the end after they learnt it isn’t the only coping mechanism you don’t have to ‘manage emotion’ with something cheerful. That implies sadness is a bad emotion to be counteracted. It is ok to just be sad and feel it, then you can work through it healthily. That is what I have learnt from this mindset. Sometimes life is shit and we just need to cry and we can’t joke it away all the time. 😂❤ RIP Chris I wish you felt your true worth mate. Cos we bloody adored you. 🎉😂😊

[@gypsywoman9140]

I believe what's being described is called toxic positivity. It doesn't get talked about very often because most people can't understand how something considered a positive could possibly be toxic unless they have experienced it themselves. I can't say for sure, but I feel it must take on many forms. Robin Williams, for example, nobody would describe as being toxic. He was as beloved as Keanu Reeves is today (except Keanu isn't known for being a comedian, though dude does have most excellent comedic timing.) But we all know how things ended with Robin. The man who made the world smile was unable to make himself happy. I am not speaking out of judgement by any means; I myself am deeply depressed in general and regularly contemplate/attempt ending it all....I am toxic to myself. (Actually, for me it's mostly the PMDDemon. Nearly every time I "go there" my stupid period shows up not long after...sometimes hours later, sometimes a few days, but yeah. I don't have access to doctors, which adds to the problem, so I genuinely don't know if I will survive to see menopause.) Robin was also toxic to himself. Many of us are. Not everyone who struggles with self-love will "go there" but we're not exactly nice to ourselves, are we? But when we're around most other people, many of us front like we're all good because we don't want to bring others down with "our bs" but as I'm typing this, I realize maybe that's not being as nice as we think it is while we're struggling. We're not giving our friends or family the opportunity to show they care when we're keeping it all bottled up, are we? Like, idk if Robin reached out to anyone just before...maybe he did, which makes it all the more tragic. But if he didn't reach out....how could anyone be there for him if they didn't know? I'm sure we would all prefer a world where Robin Williams (and Chris Farley) were still here with us in 2024 sharing stories about how they overcame their issues and being low-key advocates where we listen to them speak and find it helpful or inspiring or something, y'know? Idk if I'm making any sense. I just smoked some good weed for the first time in "a while" ....24 hours, but for a chronic, that's a while.

[@DouglasRichardson-er4ky]

My mother 🥀👸🏼 is buried in the family plot same cemetery as Chris my they both RIP 🌹

[@gypsywoman9140]

Dang! That's kind of a morbid flex! Not saying you were thinking of it as such while typing that, but that's definitely a morbid flex. RIP to both, though I'm sure she's enjoying the afterlife being around Chris! *HUGS* to you, though. I'm assuming you miss her every day 💔

[@waynecrawford3317]

So, one of my friends growing up was from Madison. His mom used to babysit Chris. She said that he would hide in the closet and eat ice cream. We all would have a laugh, but now it's just kinda sad. We never know what someone is going through because we haven't lived it. Be kind to everyone because you have no idea what struggles they have. RIP Chris

[@SaxcatGamingCorner]

Chris actually was totally sober during Tommy boy and up through the first watch of black sheep when he first relapsed and he would even get back to 99 days sober during Beverly Hills ninja before losing it all.

[@user-qr9uh1fd8g]

Beautiful person, friends and family ❤️

[@aubin521]

Great video 💪

[@staciedahl9602]

I met his aunt many years ago. I had gone to Madison WI to visit a friend and she introduced me to her. She spoke highly of him. Such sad news when he died. 😞

[@thechanneloffun3760]

🙏🙏 Rest in peace Chris 🙏🙏

[@SaxcatGamingCorner]

Chris was only suspended from SNL once. That was when he got sober and would be the rest of his time on the show.

[@georgemorenstein]

He grows on you over time.

[@Waya420]

He was lonely and sad 😢

[@allergyahead8128]

Chris you were very very funny. Everyone would always say "did you see Farley"

[@adriangomez9791]

He’s the reason I enrolled into second city. R.I.P. Farley

[@squiredh]

It is very sad he didn't know if he was funny or not and had to wonder if women sincerely liked him or if it was only his fame and wealth. Some of the laughs were about his image as a big guy, but he was really funny besides that--I wish he would have known that. Too bad he didn't have a better support friend or a counselor that he really connected with. He was a big loveable teddy bear. Sad he left so soon. I hope he is feeling true love from our Father in Heaven now.

[@Willfitzcomedy]

"Salt imbalance" and "dateskie" were so funny.

[@DamonLaRiche]

Great tribute to one of the best. His final words were haunting. What an evil woman.

We are here chris, youre a beautiful guy and funny you shouldnt be so hard on yourself , far from what you thought

[@phelpsmarc]

wait so he named the Van Down by the River Motivational Speaker after his Priest

[@DouglasRichardson-er4ky]

... Edgewood College was across the street from where I grew up in Madison WI 🦡

[@Bleu7373]

I just can’t help but to think of his last moments here begging that woman to stay with him and ultimately being left alone. I so wish that someone had stayed. That’s all he wanted. Someone to see him as more than the funny guy. The fat guy. He was so much more than that. And he deserved so much better. I hope he knows now that we see him now. That sweet sweet man. I hope he has found peace.

[@JeremyAustin-hw1qy]

Unfortunately I missed out on his snl skits but I've seen tommy boy and black sheep and Beverly hills ninja and they still make me laugh to this day and I would've loved to have seen where his career would've gone if he had lived such as shrek because he did 80 percent of that movie before he died

[@justmadeit2]

Chronically low self esteem and depressed I’d say. I know how it feels

[@opaljk4835]

Do you have any sources? Did you use the book or just interviews or something? I’m just curious. I don’t doubt anything in particular, but there seem like some things I can’t seem to verify.

[@jwallaby7895]

Great handling of his life. But some final words after his death would be appreciated instead of the bleak silence. His legacy lived on and deserves a mention.

The sign of a genius is being able to make jokes about yourself before anyone else can. I did the same thing. If you put it out in the open its no longer humorous. I learned that very quick as a kid.

Most respectively, has anyone wondered about him being on the spectrum? In retrospect it would make a lot of sense!

[@Greitungzing]

This 'documentary' contains information that I had previously been unaware of, I am appreciative of that. But there are so many distracting mistakes regarding audio and editing. I don't usually complain about it with first-time or new creators because everybody has to start somewhere. However it's unacceptable in this case with the high amount of ads that we are forced to watch. TDLR: The quality is too low for you to be able to profit from this video, I'd love to be able to take back what I've given you via viewership.

@@adellegiles377preach.

[@tommyriam8320]

@@adellegiles377 Farley was anything but _devout_ unless you are referring to his practically religious devotion to a life of excess and sin. He was a glutton of grotesquely epic proportions. His use and abuse of _not only food_ but powerful mind-altering, body annilating drugs both licit and illicit _none of which ultimately held any legitimate, life-affirming purpose_ was carried out on a legendarily, monumental scale. In addition, he was a fornicator and notorious whoremonger. This is merely what we know of the man's "dark side" from the record disclosed. God only knows what else he may have been up to that has remained hidden from public view. If Farley's life and behavior serves as an example of what you consider representative of what it means to be a "devout Catholic" then I shudder to think _from such twisted a perspective_ of what someone in your deluded state would require of church members - in terms of the commission of immoral, unholy acts in order to qualify as having strayed (from the flock), lapsed or fallen.
