Saturday Night Live - The Best of Chris Farley Reviews
Good skits but alot missing
First i want to say that this does have alot of Farley's funny skits,but theres some missing gems and some of his better skits were shown only partially while some of his more forgettable skits were played in its entirety which made no sense to me.the only had one Matt Foley skit in its entirety which is undoubtedly the funniest character he ever did on SNL.the show a quick clip of the one where he steps in dog crap and falls through a window in the same house in another matt foley skit but they just show that brief part not the whole scene.Also they omitted Matt Foley as Santa Claus which was one of his funniest skits ever.Its on the SNL Christmas DVD but still that was no reason to leave this great skit out of his personal tribute DVD.He also does another guy at the newsdesk which they never showed the entire clips of.I forget the characters name but he always does the quotation marks with his fingers as he explains why some people don't like him.But anyways there is a few good skits here.My favorites are the one Matt Foley skit they gave us in entirety,The spoof on the old folgers crystals commercials "secretly replacing real coffee with instant coffee in fine restaurants" when farley flips out when he finds out he didn't get real coffee,that one had me aughing alot.And i liked the one where its like a 1950's winter setting with everyone talkng so nice and then chris farley suddenly screaming obscenities when he falls through the ice.But aside from thta as i said they left out alot of his best stuff.I am not sure if Lauren Michaels hand picked which would be his "best skits" but if he did he needs to realize his taste isn't in touch with most farely fans,they left alot of no brainers off this DVD that should have definitely been on this DVD.Hopefully they will do a better job in the future if they try to cash in on Farley again with another best of farely in the future but i am not holding my breath on that cause i doubt they'll do a best of on the same character twice.P.S. the one where he tries out for chippendales is funny as hell to,forget to mention that one,glad they included it in this DVD at least.
A funny, funny man....
Finally had a chance to watch this Chris Farley DVD last night. Like the other two I own (Will Farrel and Phil Hartman), it had some very funny moments, and a couple of not-so-funny moments. I thought the "super fans" skit was great, especially where Michael Jordan starts talking about his foundation, and the 4 guy's minds start wandering off ('da bears, 'da bears, Ditka, Sausage, 'da bulls...). I also thought the question about coach Ditka going up against a hurricane (named Ditka) was pretty amusing. Matt Foley, motivational speaker was hilarious! 'Look Dad, we got ourselves a regular Bill Shakespear here', and 'I hear you've been using paper not for writing lately, but rolling'. That could have been Farley's best role. Also, the commentary guy who kept using double-finger quotes, as he progressively got more gross ('a guy who doesn't let his scabs heal', or 'eats his dandruff flakes'). And lastly, as the guy who flips out when he finds out his coffee has been replaced by Folgers instant coffee. Thought that was very funny.
Some of the skits that didn't do much for me was the 'lunch lady' skit (looks like it had been written by 10 year olds), and the one where he's in drag talking about his latest line of skin products (Christina Applegate was REALLY miscast as Cher), and lastly.....as good a job as I thought he did as Rudy Giuliani's son Andrew, I thought it wasn't too professional making fun of a nine year old that has ADS. Overall, I'd give the compilation a 4/5 rating. The only skit I wish they included was the 'Little Women' one, where Chris breaks thru the ice, and hurls off a bunch of obscenities to the other women to rescue him. I remember the first time I saw that, and had stomach pains from laughing so much.
He was really a great comic!
