Chris Farley Song - SNL 

I love his movies... Of all the movies I've seen, it's his I remember and enjoy the most 🥲

Don’t forget the insurance fraud

Pretty sure he makes them to make four billion dollars.

He never forgot his friends and made sure they had success as well you have to respect that even if you don't like his movies.

I love many of his early films. Maybe it’s because I grew up with them I don’t know. At some point his movies definitely became a joke tho. But he gets paid millions to bulls- around with his friends, so I guess it’s not that surprising he keeps making them lol

@Jody Schmuckatelli I pray your best friend is resting happy and rocking on

Jody Schmuckatelli I hope you’re finding peace and may your friend Rest In Peace 💙

People give Sandler crap for the quality of his movies, but specifically casts his friends like Meadows, Spade and Schneider as an excuse to keep together. I heard "Grown Ups" was basically a working vacation for them.

He's a real friend

How could he? I was a huge Chris fan growing up and I still haven't gotten over it.

Yep

I was just watching Chris Farley yesterday. His skits on SNL

Yes and every time he talks about him and every time in general

“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?” ― Terry Pratchett, Going Postal #gnuChrisFarley #gnuTerryPratchett

Absolutely. Saw him play this last night at his Manchester comedy show and it was amazing

I was about to post a similar comment. Some of his films are good and heart felt (Wedding Singer, Click) while others were …not so good. But Adam has heart and loyalty to his friends. And that’s worth a ton in my book

This is a great comment.

Agreed. He's a great person

Agreed!!!

@@msawyer110True!!!

Deep bro. Love it! Forever young and immortal through his performances!!

YES!!! ❤️

Well tell him to get out here we need him!!!!

With Phil Hartman.

I've seen him once in the most outrageous moments series. I didn't think he died.

ik i almost cried watching this

He wasn't sure he could make it through the live performance, but he did and that's a huge kudos to him. In the goodbyes right afterward, you could Cecily and Kate wiping away tears (from seeing this performance, I assume).

There is this song called Battle Creek by Bent Knee. The singing in that is equally heart wrenching.

Gotta watch the song he sang for David Letterman. Pretty amazing stuff

@@brett-1261 I did cry

i come back and watch this all the time. i think the same. i think its one of the most beautiful things to ever grace tv. because its not about who they are or being famus. this is love and greif in such a pure form. and its absolutly beautiful .

It really is ❤

This song makes me sad not only because I miss Chris Farley so much --- but I also realize I don't have a friend as true and loyal as Adam was to Chris!

I’ve seen better

Wish they made a movie about him behind closed doors

We live in Madison & have been over to 'visit' Chris Farley a few times, his Dad is entombed not far from Chris. So sad to know that if he could have found a way to manage his demons, he could still be here with us & making us all laugh...

Died two days after I turned 10 worst year ever cuz my mother lost her uncle the same month 😔💔

@@babycakes1402 he probably make a craziest dad and grandpa if the you know what didn't kill him 😔

I know Right!!!

Agreed 1000%

@Hilltop Slim 614 SHHHHH! You want Jared to comeback?!

@@RandomAwesomeDude Hes too busy getting the foot long in prison 😂😂😂🤣

#metoo

@@sting7789 OMG!

Dude he didn’t touch me there he cunt punched that shit

He felt like it throughout, I don't blame him. Chris is probably crying too in the afterlife.

They shared an office at SNL.

@@daemonelectricity Yeah they did.

100% accuracy in that statement. That had me getting choked up. I wish Chris Farley and Robin Williams could have made a film together, but the world would have imploded in that case.

He heard you!!!

Fun fact: Keenan is the last SNL cast member to have done a skit with Farley. He was a guest on All That in 1997.

@@lorddude123 Many sources. Not hard to find. Fallon told the story on the Tonight Show.

@@Gdsm9 claims source provides none

I think we all speak of him with love. 25 years later and all I want to hear from that cast in interviews is a memory of Chris.

Yeah somewhere I watched a RU-vid video where they said something like: "within within an average of 1 month of you dying noone ever thinks of you"...... Today I saw a post on a MrBallen upload saying that they lost a family member called Farley. That led me here..... If either that person is way wrong or the other side of this average is people forget you after a few seconds..

Yes❤

You’re right about that!!!!

Chris attained in his short life what many strive for in a lifetime, genuine admiration.

He was saying in an interview that he almost did not do the song because he could not get through it in rehearsals w/o crying.

I feel like he always looks like that when he tells Farley stories

Jordan Grandgenett no I’m talking about his voice. He had little voice cracks in his performance

Blue Kang yeah I agree with you. It’s very moving

I was thinking about how hard I was writing the song. It just took so long because every new line was a good cry.

Kind of like hearing Paul Mc cartney sing " Here Today". I cried right along with him when I saw him in concert. Still cry everytime.

God knows I couldn't/can't make it through without being a mess

Music has that power

If I was in the position I wouldn't have been able to especially if David Spade was in front of me in the crowd and you know he would have been crying. I don't know if Spade was there or not but I know how I feel about my friends and all

Absolutely, it was straight from the heart 👌

Bittersweet I am sure

According to the Chris Farley documentary, Chris felt depressed and alone no longer being part of the SNL group after they were let go and for good reason. Lorne felt that Chris and Adam were ready to be famous on their own and wanted others to shine, but Chris couldn’t handle being independent. I wish he knew how much Adam wouldve kept trying for him.

​@@lordalessanchris and adam should have never been fired, that was a pure disgrace from nbc

Yes, absolutely the best thing Adam has done.

@@stevesurprenant1005 that sounds slightly backhanded. personally im gonna bet you didnt mean it that way.

Ok, if you say so!

@@docholliday4546 you obviously know nothing of there relation ship. And how dare a piece of shit like you disgrace doc holiday...

@@harveylovell8953 it's spelled "their" and holy jeez... triggered much?

ddjino666 Get over yourself troll. You’re not funny or clever.

@@ddjino666 Holy jeez , RU-vid comment queef much ? Feel the need to jump into strangers banter much ? Simmer down, boring asshole . The fact I'm commenting on your basic troll comment is depressing enough . I just like to point out socially inept kiddos that have some sort of superiority complex on a goddamned RU-vid clip . Guessing you're a real poon magnet .

thats awsome

Duuuuuude that's sick. -what a surfer would say to that

today on things that never happened

@@Madferit91 No I guarantee it's true lol, this is a super common thing. He loves pick-up basketball and will play at community centers or gyms a lot. Even more wholesome, he is a passer, which is so uncommon for pickup games. He just goes to play and have fun.

Awesome!!!

That line his hard for me, not so much because I loved Candy, or Belushi, (I really liked them both though) but more so because of how exactly things played out. JUST like them. Like it was some comic fate.

@@Ki11erKittyCandy died of a heart attack. Not drug use.

@@plawson8577yes BUT he died very prematurely compared to how long many of his contemporaries have lived. Candy was similar to Belushi & Farley in the sense that he indulged in cocaine, alcohol & binge eating as well; he could've had a weakened heart from any of those contributing factors & his family also shared a pattern of heart attacks indicating that it was in his genetics

@@droomzy Candy only experimented with Cocaine in the 70s. When he got married, he quit using drugs. But still smoked and ate a lot. Candy quit smoking cold turkey while filming Cool Runnings.

They were both in the same the same time as the others. Hartman from 86-94, Meadows 90-2000

No one could ever touch them they dominated that show..

More proof that the 90s was the greatest generation for entertainment. Music, film, and television.

I totally agree! Early 2000s was good as well- we got Will Farrell, Tina Fey and a few others out of it, but the 90s was peak.

The original cast was also great with Dan and John and Gilda and Jane and other regulars! That cast was just as good and memorable to me ~ so much talent it was unbelievable

yeah that line really got me

It’s also true

That line did me in. I felt that. 😔

@@franciscocasero4566 same here

John Candy didn't die from drug abuse, right?

He really had to compose himself when he got to the part about Farleys dad. Awesome tribute

@xxx ooo Who hurt you in your life? Why are you such a douche ?

Every SNL member who worked with Farley (Sandler, Spade, Meadows, etc) all really miss him a lot .... just tells what kind of person and friend he was!

I'm not accustomed to Sandler doing serious songs, and while this one was indeed funny, damn ... you could really feel it and for sure you know it was pretty tough for Sandler to hold it together in a lot of places in that song. What a fun remembrance and salute!

that was where it began for them. i'm sure it was tougher than the big tribute he did for netflix. sucks but in a good way. always tough though.

Casey Flentye that’s awesome man. He’s sure did love kids. A true catholic as well. Thanks for sharing that story.

He loved kids. Would've been a great dad.

Casey Flentye that’s awesome. I heard stories about fans who happened to see him. Farley NEVER turned down a fan who wanted an , autograph, picture or even a handshake. I wish more celeberties these days were as friendly as that man.

Joey Pethan yup all great dads have a bad drug addiction....

so precious!

when they were rehearsing this before the show, Adam never made it through a full take because every time they showed the backdrop pick of Chris, Sandler would lose it

@b carb ,That's so wrong and old Hollywood.

@b carb he's dr. evil for sure

Yeah, it would be hard to go back. Not only because of Farley but also Phil Hartman.

@b carb Its a bullshit clause, but he's giving the a hell of a push just by casting them on snl. You just sign the devils contract and hope it helps u make it like Sandler, Ferrel, Myers, Murphy...

I always like to think Chris wasn’t loved by just his friend and family but by so many in the world. I cannot think of one person who when I say how much I miss Chris Farley they disagree with me.

He kept everyone laughing until his last breath. He keeps me and so many others laughing now.

The Chris Farley Show!

I heard that in Farley's voice...😢

You can tell Adam Sandler had a very tough time with the lyric. Props for getting through it.

That part gets me every time, too ☹😯😢😭

Deep lyric but I read that his father was pretty much responsible for his self loathing and addiction.

D)dy

@@anthony452 False.

Me and my wife seen him in columbus oh and he done this. There wasn't a dry eye in the whole place

Seeing him in a week in Tampa, can't wait.

Andy G he puts on a hell of a show. U will laugh the whole night

Adam is such a good dude. He loves his friends so much and deserves all the success he’s had. I could never hate on this man. He’s always humble too.

@@josephbrenneman109 it makes me so sad when people shit on Adam, nobody could tell me he isn’t hilarious or amazing

2:52 ahh

@Michael Richmond Yes. We know you are.

@Michael Richmond The tribute was not for You.

@Michael Richmond The tribute is for Chris Farley from Adan Sandler. The media allow us to join him (Adam) in spirit to share what he feels.

@Michael Richmond Thanks...

you can tell, he looks so sad :(

Idk how he was able to hold it together.

That makes it even more poignant. May Chris rest peacefully.

No doubt. Him trying to tear up singing made me tear up a little lol

He had to take a moment there

Definitely! Adam worked hard and now he can afford to fly his friends (Spade, Covert, Swardson) anywhere in the world to make the movies he wants to make, and not care about box office numbers or critics. He's one of my comedy heroes, and I hope he's just as nice as a person.

If Chris Farley would have been in those grown-up movies as well as three he would have been so freaking funny

You’re right about that!!!!

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH

Exactly! Btw I didn’t mean to dislike the comment 😂

@5050tankabbot HIS IS SUCH PANDERING. THIS IS TERRIBLE. FARLEY HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 20 YEARS , IT TOOK SANDLER 20 YEARS TO WRITE THIS PIECE OF CRAP? Yeah Adam those who know know Farley's highlight reel. Sander putting it too 3 chord rock isnt that great of a tribute..

@@JohnSmith-yd5wq looks like someone needs a talk from the motivational speaker about anger issues, you'll have plenty of time to be angry when you're living in a van down by the river.

John Smith this is a shortened version of the original song. It’s from his stand up 100% Fresh. He’s got a 3 min guitar riff solo in the middle of the song where he shreds but that’s cut from the SNL performance

JJ's Life when he and David talk about him you can see the pain and sorrow in their eyes and body language. It’s so sad

I thought the exact same thing.

I don't think it's possible to truly ever get over the death of someone you care about that much.

You never really do

Imagine a world where he survived and he made grownups 3 just like Adam said....... Imagine a world where farley was still here..... Then again its out there in the multiverse

Time just goes by too fast. It don’t feel real

For sure what a broski he is.

Mark Alan Effinger Sandler is one of the celebs I genuinely don’t get how people can dislike. Even if you hate his movies, you can’t deny he’s a good dude.

AyKay right I don't like all his movies but I like him.

@@monamarie1984 Damn girl👋😍

And, Sandler's show was submitted for the Emmy and won. Grand Slam.

Chris is far too big to disappear (literally *and* metaphorically speaking). But, I know what you're saying and completely agree.

Can Phil Hartman get any love?

Phil Hartman-so funny and missed. Thanks for remembering. I bet they are all having a blast; Gilda, John, Charles (Rocket), Jan Hooks, and all the other missed and loved SNL kids.

Sands the MANds! He really is the definition of Loyalist, just look at his movies and you will see how real his love for his friends really is

Thanks to Adam's tribute, I couldn't help but watch more Footages of Chris; interviews, sketches, and documentaries. OMG! So many things I never knew and for that,Chris, I am sorry. Not only were you funny and handsome, but you were generous of your time and love. You volunteered for causes and your church. You would often pick up a homeless person in your limo and take that person to treatment. You were, and still are, a beautiful man. You still make us laugh. Oh Adam, thank you. Much Love.

Who wants a tribute from Adam Sandler???

@@johngargano3371 I do :(

@Jennifer Arigo who happened to be one of his best friends. Yes, Chris Farley brought upon his own demise and there are serious lessons to learn about not living in "the fast lane", and practicing prudence, as well as learning self control. I've had friends who have committed suicide, far too many who have overdosed (it still hurts, sometimes more than if they were to have died of sickness/natural reasons). That being said, yes, dying because of vice isn't the same as an innocent child dying of cancer (I agree with that) but regardless it was a person who died way too young who was loved more than he knew by so many. So yes, Farley ended up dying directly because of the lifestyle he chose to live. But he was still someone's son, someone's brother, and someone's best friend. No matter the cause a light to so many people was extinguished far too soon. His parents, siblings, and friends have a void where Chris used to be no matter if he brought it on himself.

Well said

@Jennifer Arigo You sanctimonious fuck. And I suppose YOU'RE perfect? Your mind is a pig sty. Hope you reap the filth you sow! 🖕

This was very cool what he did. Very cool.

He's actually a piece of shit in real life from what people say. But who knows.

@@cwatson42785 from the amount of lifelong friends he has, who he regularly gives even small parts to in his movies, he obviously isn't a piece of shit.

ah, you clicked on it...just like me. ;)

😫😫

More like punched in the nuggets and dildoed in the buttcrack

Just like the tribute, this comment is emotional, beautiful, and funny at the same time. Good job. :,)

Right and there a couple times when he looked at the screen you can tell it hurt.

Movie would be making it rain, RIP to the greatest

And also Farley would star in Grown Ups instead of Kevin James

@@Y2JHHHDX i cannot agree more and it makes me sad

And would've been shrek as well.

@Anton Riley also he would be larry in i pronounce you chuck and larry

They did try to help him though (Sandler and Spade did anyways) Unfortunately Chris Farley was just destined to die young, just like with John Belushi.

@@ludwigfan3013 i suppose so. May he continue to rest in peace.

You cant help an addict that doesn't want to stop!

@@mrabrasive51 true if it is the case he didn't want to stop.

Tommy Boy*

That line absolutely kills me. Life ain’t the same without you boy. So true. Life is never the same when we lose a dear friend.

I unexpectedly cried for a little

are you seriously making this about you and your thumbs up?

I feel like they called him boy because he was like a child. He was sweet and innocent and taken way too soon.

same here! so moving! love Adam

C.A. Huddleston ditto for me - Truly a beautiful moment!

Same here, cried when I heard about Belushi even way back then. My favorite Farley was his movie interviews with the stars. To funny. That part was cool.

@b carb can you folks watch anything without turning into politics how you hate trump? Seriously sickening. TDS please see a shrink.

Wow, just wow!

Stay strong. Whatever helps you make it through. You are loved and needed. Besides your family and friends, you never know who you may be touching in your daily life or by posting a comment online. Hang in there

@@chrishand259 thank you man that means a lot actually.

Much love to you ❤❤❤ we need you here

Stay strong we have been there I

Keep on keeping on. You have no idea how important you are.

Party on Wayne

EddieRay VanLynch nice pfp

EddieRay VanLynch he almost got me too, I was close!

That kind of frienship its hard to find this guy almost cries everytime he sings this song

Rewatch Click. That ending had me running rivers.

I remember Spade saying in an interview he could not bear to go into a room with his friend in a box.

I don't get funerals anyway. What's the point of "saying goodbye" or however people want to put it, in the same room as the body compared to anywhere else?

@@BaldMancTwat as someone who grew up in and worked in the funeral industry I have a couple thoughts. 1) Tradition, that's how we do it. 2)Some people need to see the deceased for them to accept it. 3)Everyone grieves differently.

@@BaldMancTwat I dont get why people would want to see the body of a loved one after his death. I made this mistake when my brother died at 40 and saw him to say goodbye (I was 25). I regret it until this day, 15 years later. The last image I have of my brother is a lifeless body who doesnt even look like him and I try everything to forget that image. but yeah well, some people need this, I strongly advise anyone not to do it and keep an image of a loved one in mind when he/she was still alive. I still remember going into that room and there was this nice dressed corpse lying there and I was like "wtf? who is this dead stranger?" then it hit me and its burned into my memory forever.

@@bepowerification my mom died of colon cancer 6 years ago. I'm an only child and she never wanted kids. She loved me as much as she knew how to and never asked for me towards the end. But I was forced to come out. I'd had a good goodbye with her a couple of months prior (we lived 1200 miles away from each other). I was content with it and respected it if she was too. She always kept me at arm's length until the end. It's hard to say how I'd feel if I hadn't been there when she died. But at no point did I feel welcome or that I should be there. I'm sorry you have that image and feeling burned into your head because I know how it feels. Sometimes seeing them when they are still themselves is the best for all involved.

Mario Johnson did he drop out?

Mario Johnson Awesome, Mario!

Amazing! :D

Did he really write Herbie Hancock? Jk love ya Chris

Barry Obama He graduated.

totally

@@jondunmore4268 I mean not breaking down but you can tell he was trying not to cry

@@hotwetsoup3565 yeah his voice trembles multiple times and choking up. He also force himself to make a smiled face to no to cry (make smile can trick your brain temporarily not to cry). I miss him So much too

theres always certain memories we can rewind back to vividly he refers to seein Chris father cry Chris Farleys main mission Hollywood shit aside wuz makin his father proud

I didn't catch it,

Agreed!!!

Ummm he rhymed words like a third grader could’ve

Springsteen level lyrics.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

@Eightball 0 - Will do, thanks!

Gunsandrosalina Padtwo What does he do that you want to see

Gunsandrosalina Padtwo Calm down stalker, I don’t hate the guy and I love Chris Farley. I simply asked what did he do here, he made some silly rhymes, learn to read spaz.

Same here. That was hard for him to get through without crying. Just like how he couldn't resist laughing when he would work with Chris. 💔😭

That_Goth_bitch EXACTLY!’n

Me too

Me too

It probably hit him twice as hard since he was singing it on the same stage they had shared for so many years. Nicely done Adam.

When Heath Ledger died I mourned with his parents when we found out

Me too and same with Robin Williams

This may be dumb, but Chris Farley made me want to be an actor. I made my poor parents watch Tommy Boy and Black Sheep countless times. I was crushed when he died. I felt like my acting dream died a little with him too.

Tim Meadows too

And Norm

Don't forget about Phil Hartman. Compare that cast of jokesters to the current cast of jokes.

The funny thing is, at the time this group on SNL were being criticized for not being funny and low ratings. Their comedy was truly ahead of its’ time, people are only realizing it these last 5-10 years.

Gen X Genius 4ever!

Is that what takes to be special

Amen to that👍

Damn i like to hate on adam but this song really changes my mind. What a guy

The fact that he probably demanded to have his tribute included was a great point to make.

People jumped on the "Hate Adam Sandler" Hype Train. Those people obviously never sat in their room running Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and Wedding Singer over and over and over and over and over....

He wouldn't have had to "demand" to play this song - who would object? Thank you Adam, and R.I.P. Chris.

@@bobby_tablez You're really cool for hating on Sandler. Keep up the good fight brother!

So true!!

Hands down.

One issue was his weight. I know a doctor that would've scared his ass silly into losing it.

Thank you for that info. Very insightful. We had no idea. (Sarcasm font)

Some said he would've died even giving every terrible thing up... he just had such an enormous heartrate and just normal physical condition. But hey, we love him no matter what.

I wonder sometimes if perhaps he wrote this song years and years ago. Painful as it is, I imagine he held onto this one for a very long time. Even if he only actually wrote that song months before it aired, he carried every bit of it in his soul every day since 1997.

Kinda like it took years for Dave grohl to be able to play nirvana on stage (which was only once that I'm aware of) losing friends fuckin sucks

Its on his netflix special

@@maevemallory2122 Yes. It took him 20+ years to do it there. C'mon.

I just listened to this song with a tear in my eye, thinking about watching Farley as a kid, doing all the bits with my friends the next week. We freaking loved the Folgers skit and his Bennet Brower character.

And also Rest In Peace John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks.

@@Gothiczartan Amen man

he does now live in a van down by the river Jordon!!

Gothiczartan Phil Hartmans passing still crushes my soul to this very day :(

Andrew Campbell hes dead

He played this song in his special. The crowd went nuts. I heard the crowd in Milwaukee went insane when he sang this also.

You mean his life was given way too soon. What a tragedy.

His life was not taken before his time, Chris was incredibly funny and there’s no doubt about that, but the man had a lot of problems and used drugs to cope, it was just a matter of time before he ended up dying.

He was awesome!

Unless Spade could sing

Why would anyone cover a song about a fat friend of his?

Completely agree. Makes me freaking cry everytime too.

Truth.

this isn't a song, its a tribute. yeah, so no one can perform a tribute like this unless its Sandler. its absolutely from his heart, no one can represent it like he does.

Definitely not alone.

I just watched this on Hulu. Hadn't heard a thing about it and I often skip it after Weekend Update. So glad I watched till the end.

Wait did you actually walk up to him when he was still alive and ask him for it??

Ebay... $9.95.

That’s awesome 😭😭

My father worked at the Rainbow Room. It's even on a menu. One of the coolest things I own!

TheChosenOne For you it is! Not me.

It's up there with Steve Martin commenting on Gilda Radnor's passing.

My Window On The World yes it was

@@vanmoody And I just remembered the tribute Jan Hooks did for Phil Hartman.

@@sha11235 shut your fuckin face millennial

You are very perceptive... That's exactly why.

Yeah David Spade didn't go to Farley's funeral. I get it, it's just too much to handle.

@@Allagi22 a lot of people are like that. They'd rather only remember their loved one alive. I don't blame them. I feel the same way but personally I have to go so I can actually believe they're gone otherwise it's unbelievable for me. 🥺 But I don't judge or think negatively about people who choose to not attended. Everyone deals with death and grief differently.

He talks about it on Stern saying he couldn't just see Chris in a fucking Pine Box.

Bra... I just got that.
