I saw Chris Farley a few weeks before he died. He came into the store I worked at in Chicago. He was nice, and customers lined up asking him for his autograph. As he smiled, shook hands and signed things, he was breathing heavy, he was constantly wiping sweat off his face. His suit was wrinkled. It was strange. Then, a few weeks later the news announced he'd died from a drug overdose.
I know all about that sweating. It’s like the devil is knocking at your door, you’re miserable and you just want to answer so you get relief again. I hope he’s at peace. We’ve all got demons, he was just tired of fighting his 💔
They would be making more shitty movies. Also, Spade sucks. What has he done funny, since?! Besides, Spade is supposed to be biggest dick in Hollywood too
That was October 27th, 1990, almost 28 years ago now....what always amazed me about that sketch was that Farley was pretty much totally unknown at that time, that sketch put him on the map IMO
I'm about the same age as you, my first time seeing the Chippendale sketch was after he died and NBC aired the 'Best of Chris Farley' special, and it made me laugh so hard...then to find out that was one of his earliest sketches that he did on SNL, at the time he was a total unknown, not a household name by any means, but he destroyed in the Swayze sketch, one of the most iconic things ever on SNL and he was a brand new performer when it happened
It's a common theme among comics. Doomed to continuously make others laugh and be happy but can never find their own happiness. Robin William's always comes to mind... RIP to the beautiful souls immortalized in the minds and lives impacted by their art
I miss Chris so much. The biggest part of my humor in my tweens and early teens. I was 13 when he passed. I remember crying and being legitimately sad after. RIP Chris
I agree. I was the fattest kid in my school my entire childhood except for freshmen year (two seniors were bigger than me) and Chris always made me more comfortable in my own skin. Being able to look up to someone with an obvious weight problem of their own was very comforting to me.... Also on a sidenote, his comedy still holds up today.
Same bro! Chris Farley made my sister & I closer...we bonded over laughing at Chris Farley movies. We would try to pull out his lines & the most ideal times. He meant a lot, hopefully he can see that now!
The end of his life was super sad, and I’ll never forget when I heard he passed away, and I thought to myself, it’s not surprising he’s gone. I miss him everyday. He was one of my heroes. I’m funny, and I was about 330, and I saw Chris an fell in love with him. He is also one of the reasons I am who I am now. I said, if it can happen to Chris it can happen to me. I stopped everything, and lost the weight. RIP Chris.
I saw my ex gf’s dad at the casino and he was drunk and looked like he wasn’t winning, a few months after he committed suicide and I’ll always remember seeing him in the casino that night. Life’s a trip.
Casino's are fun and all but definitely one of the WORST addictions out there. I was addicted to a few these in my younger years. nothing was more destructive than the gambling addiction
@@jaycrib303 Nope. Some people only gamble when they are drunk. A boozed up player will spend more. Now, if you're sober and gamble then you have a serious problem
Farley was my favorite comedian before I was 10 years old. When he passed, not only was I sad, but my understanding of human society grew as well. It’s similar to how many Mac Miller fans must have felt. The transformation is a bit overwhelming.
Man I used to watch tommy boy all the time and when I heard he passed I was sad, and I related to a lot of the stories mac Miller told in his albums I was a little bit more sadder when mac passed
He died in 97 but what is the saddest thing for me is that a lot of his friends and people who knew he said they knew he would die or that he did not look well. He had so much more to give his death is so heartbreaking
it aint heartbreaking. We all make our own decisions. He wasn't out there curing cancer or saving the world. He acted in some comedy films, most shit, a couple were decent. He didn't care about his health, he didn't care about making the world a better place, he just wanted to eat and get wasted. At the end of the day don't waste energy on some celeb who only cared about satisfying his own physical desires. That was the empty life he chose. Learn from him and try to live a life of more substance
I have never met Chris Farley in person, but I have been listening to many documentaries throughout the years.....I see a loving man with a big heart, but lonely. I am in tears still to this day...he was surrounded by so many people...why didn't they take the time to talk with him about his inner feelings, possible depression, his sadness. A person can appear fine on the outside, but sometimes, nobody knows what they are experiencing emotionally and spiritually.
I'm amazed that Joey doesn't do more voice over work. That is an absolutely incredible gravel sound he has. His slow draw has a rumble to it that I really think would do amazing in a cartoon or narration
It's tricky cause his voice, accent, and personality is tied into tough guy vulgarity and there aren't many animated flicks that calls for it as most of them are for kids.
He died Dec 18, 1997. Wow. Just a week after I turned 8. I remember my mom telling me he died from drugs, and I could just barely comprehend and visualize such a thing. Tragic.
I saw him at a strip club in chicago the night before he passed away...i told him that i loved him and that hes the man...he told me the same back and acted just like the movies...he was awesome and funny in real life just like the movies....the Last club that he visited before he passed away was a club in Chicago called Karma....he was one of the most awesome famous person i met in life...rest in peace ..Chris
@@ikillacommunistforfun320 I highly doubt a stranger would have convinced an addict to just “slow down” after a brief encounter, that’s not how things work
Sad that people like Chris don't feel worthy of what they deserve, that's why he did coke and booze and was seriously depressed. If you watch his interviews you can tell deep down that he was hurting inside, and I think him acting as intense as he did helped veer that depression but you can't be that way all the time because it would kill you obviously.
@@paddymcp90that is exactly what it means. I never abused drugs but any kind of addiction is rooted in the idea that you don't feel worthy and hate yourself. Healthy people who love themselves don't destroy their lives with drugs or food or even pornography they feel accepted and even if not worthy they aren't destructive like people who are addicted to drugs. Under all that laughter and smiling was a hurting man in Chris who didn't know how to let go of it. I know this because that used to be me and not until I felt real love did I stop feeling rejected and destroy myself.
They say don’t meet celebrities you look up to, but I’ve met Jay and Silent Bob. Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith were nothing short of amazing genuine people I’ve ever met. Met Kevin’s wife Jen, his assistant Meghan and her fiancé. All AMAZING people that truly appreciate your friendship/fandom and they show it. Maybe some people in Hollywood but they have some great people that you should look up to rather than someone who “may be a good person”
1998. In gym class and a kid says hey "you hear Chris Farley died?". Terrible. We really loved and connected with him. He lives forever though. Bittersweet.
When I was in a hospital, there was a fella there who knew Chris in College & I believe he told me how much of a Rugby Athlete Chris was back then. Sad time when Chris passed. I believe he was with two women, but I could be wrong, partying, what not, etc...Rest in peace, Chris!
I would've looked forward to Farley furthering his career doing dramatic roles. The right role in the right film and better career moves, he could've pulled off Oscar level performances. If Sandler could do it with Punch Drunk Love and Uncut Gems, Farley would've been a force.
That boat scene in Tommy Boy always makes me tear up. I feel like seeing him in something with a tone similar to Good Will Hunting would've been great.
When I lived in my van down by the river I was big into drugs, and it was tough times. Now Im clean and don't live in my van down by the river and my life is amazing
when i watch these clips and i don't see or hear Lee, i just imagine him sitting to the side floating in outer space with the shooting stars song playing 👩🚀
A lot of comedians deal with heavy depression Some people say, can’t you take anything serious ? The truth is life is hard and there’s so much suffering and comedians are human. They don’t think everything is a joke But the joke takes away the pain
I agree with the second guy about Chris’ career. I think he had a very bright movie career ahead of him and could’ve become a wonderful, serious actor. One who could potentially land a role that wins you an Oscar. I still miss Farley so much. He was probably my favorite comedian when I was a teenager.
The scene in Tommy Boy, when he’s at the gas station getting hosed down by Rob Lowe, dancing and singing “I’m a maniac”, was filmed at the corner of Main & Davis in Newmarket, and my friends and I used to live in a house right down the street from there before it was torn down, and we used to get drunk and go re-enact that scene there literally just to honour Chris Farley in a way that we absolutely nobody else ever could haha 😊 Friggin imagine if he was still around making movies today. The movie Grown Ups actually would have been funny lol.
Same thing with Artie Lange. You need to want to get clean. No one can force you or convince you until you want it. I had a serious drug problem and got clean in 1994 and never looked back , however I have several friends, well drug friends that are all gone today because they just did not want help. I literally can name a dozen ppl who I was really close to while doing drugs that are gone now. It's really sad as some of them I saw such talent and potential that if they got clean , who knows how successful they could have been today
2dogsacat andme I can totally relate to what you just said I have drug friends myself and sometimes I wonder if they are truly my friends are just use me to get their fix being a addict is tough and I still struggle with addiction myself I know one day it's going to lead to death or jail and I pray me and my "drug friends" get clean before the inevitable happens
@@brianstone3722 If you have to wonder if they're your friends, then they aren't. It's a hard part of life, but losing people is something we have to deal with. Sometimes we have to move on from people. It's hard, but we all have to make our own path and if you want to get clean, you will have to focus on yourself and leave your friends unfortunately. Good luck to you...
It’s more sad that the hooker he was partying with left him on the floor to die and stole his watch and just left. At least call 911 then leave out the back door but call for help. The cunt will rot in hell.
I’m sure that this is probably one of the moments in his life that he wishes he could take back and do different to have been able to potentially had a chance to save Chris Farley‘s life
I remember when Chris guest hosted SNL, me and my brother couldn’t stop talking about how huge he looked and how soon into every sketch his face and clothes were completely drenched with sweat.
Man if Joey D in his prime thought something wrong of Farley that night and wanted to give him a hug… imagine how bad it really was. I feel like Joey would’ve been the first one to go in the back room and have fun with the guy.
I'm from SwFla and here in Naples is a really respected rehab Willow of Naples and 1 of my best buddies, who is also no longer with us , was at the rehab and so was Chris Farley!! He said Farley was a nice guy and funny as we all would expect!! RIP to both of them,,
pretty sure serial killers and pederasts have darker hearts... imo funny people seem prone to past trauma, self esteem challenges and often chemical imbalances, all the while taking on a unique and unforgiving career, Therefore they are extremely empathetic and sympathetic that have great capacity to love. sure they got demons like all of us and when surrounded by more temptation that most couldn't resist...they get sick.
I wouldn't say "dark" hearts, but maybe broken hearts. Most of the great comedians come from a painful place. The challenge is to figure out how to work through it and to find some pleasure in life. It seems that Chris was not emotionally strong enough to do that. Having to write someone a 7 page letter explaining that you still care about them just goes to show how sensitive Chris was with the idea of rejection.
I saw Chris Farley one time in my life. I'm an actor and I was an extra in the movie The Last Action Hero and there was a huge party after the premiere in Westwood Ca. that I attended. When I 1st walked in I saw Rob Lowe but didn't say anything to him. He was alone just looking around. I have to say this party was huge. They had a ride you could get on I think it was a seat you sat in and it whirled you around, open bar and just very lavish. After awhile being there, I saw 3 guys lined up. It was Chris Farley, David Spade and someone else I didnt recognize. Chris wore huge black glasses and a white shirt. I remember he was extremely sweaty and hair was all slicked back. He looked like he had been up all night partying , probably was. I just remember thinking, damn he looks a mess but forgetting about it until he was dead months later. I don't remember how long after I saw him but if I looked it up online I could piece it together but, it's not that important to me. Just thought I would share this story. I dont post anonymously so run my name on the imdb if you want to know who I am & verify this story. Peace to all who read this. - Johnny
Everyone hated to see the larger than life Farley and he was a big part of my childhood by happenstance and age...he was my favorite early comic before I really seen stand up or anything...and it is so very sad to see him go for me as a child
faaatttt guuuuyyyyyy on a littleeee cooooaaatttt!!!! one of the most talent and funny man out there TIL THIS DAY! he and Phil Hartman, that awesome age of SNL! rip to these guys and my hero Patrick Swayze......the good die young indeed
Joey that sentence: don't talk to a celebrity that you look up to cuz you might be disappointed.. has opened up my vision times a 100!! Ive had such situations!! and towards you I feel like I'm talking to an uncle although you are a celerbrity... your realness overpowers it!! Thank you!! :)

when i watch these clips and i don't see or hear Lee, i just imagine him sitting to the side floating in outer space with the shooting stars song playing 👩🚀
I remember that Farley in the Mall thing. God I laughed so hard at that!
Almost Heroes was my favorite Farley movie that he acted and starred in.
Extremely underrated movie.
Yeah dude, that was such a great movie. Its sad and infuriating that it doest get the respect it deserves in my opinion!
I miss Chris’s Farley and John candy with all my heart
True unabashed comedy is born out uncontrolled pain and sadness.
100% its a childhood coping method, trying to lighten the struggle for their family. The most empathetic people on the planet are comedians.
A lot of comedians deal with heavy depression
Some people say, can’t you take anything serious ?
The truth is life is hard and there’s so much suffering and comedians are human. They don’t think everything is a joke
But the joke takes away the pain
Aww I loved Chris Farley when I was a kid!
omg funniets pickup line ive ever heard
?????
I agree with the second guy about Chris’ career. I think he had a very bright movie career ahead of him and could’ve become a wonderful, serious actor. One who could potentially land a role that wins you an Oscar. I still miss Farley so much. He was probably my favorite comedian when I was a teenager.
before he passed away he had an offer to do a fatty arbuckle documentary & it was going to be one of his first serious roles
@@CHAMPCURTIS5 interesting.
Chris Farley's Tommy Boy will remain in my top 5. He's such a good bolt of energy in dirty times.
1:45 "...I was a little chubby at the time..." Classic.
"Well actually Matt, Ellen and I have encouraged BRIAN and his writing." "Dad, I wish you could just shut your big YAPPER!!! 🤣😂 Love you Chris!! RIP
"Dont leave me" is the most saddest and scariest thing ive heard. Be kind ❤
I mean she was a hooker he could have paid her more. But yes, truly sad.
Beverly hills ninja was my freakin childhood man. Sad to see Farley like this
chris was such a legend, ahead of his time, rest in peace forever :/
Had no clue those Tommy Boy scenes were shot at the distillery district
Chris Farley was an absolute animal. Grew up watching all those movies.
The scene in Tommy Boy, when he’s at the gas station getting hosed down by Rob Lowe, dancing and singing “I’m a maniac”, was filmed at the corner of Main & Davis in Newmarket, and my friends and I used to live in a house right down the street from there before it was torn down, and we used to get drunk and go re-enact that scene there literally just to honour Chris Farley in a way that we absolutely nobody else ever could haha 😊
Friggin imagine if he was still around making movies today.
The movie Grown Ups actually would have been funny lol.
Its so sad and frustrating that no one could get through to Chris and help him shake whatever demons haunted him to drive him to such dark levels.
Same thing with Artie Lange. You need to want to get clean. No one can force you or convince you until you want it. I had a serious drug problem and got clean in 1994 and never looked back , however I have several friends, well drug friends that are all gone today because they just did not want help. I literally can name a dozen ppl who I was really close to while doing drugs that are gone now. It's really sad as some of them I saw such talent and potential that if they got clean , who knows how successful they could have been today
2dogsacat andme I can totally relate to what you just said I have drug friends myself and sometimes I wonder if they are truly my friends are just use me to get their fix being a addict is tough and I still struggle with addiction myself I know one day it's going to lead to death or jail and I pray me and my "drug friends" get clean before the inevitable happens
@@brianstone3722
If you have to wonder if they're your friends, then they aren't. It's a hard part of life, but losing people is something we have to deal with.
Sometimes we have to move on from people.
It's hard, but we all have to make our own path and if you want to get clean, you will have to focus on yourself and leave your friends unfortunately.
Good luck to you...
It’s more sad that the hooker he was partying with left him on the floor to die and stole his watch and just left. At least call 911 then leave out the back door but call for help. The cunt will rot in hell.
The Angry Dudeist if David spade wasn't such an asshole, he could've probably helped a little more than he did, if even
I’m sure that this is probably one of the moments in his life that he wishes he could take back and do different to have been able to potentially had a chance to save Chris Farley‘s life
Chris Farley is on the short list of funniest people to ever live.
Joey Diaz really is a sincere, great guy.
I remember when Chris guest hosted SNL, me and my brother couldn’t stop talking about how huge he looked and how soon into every sketch his face and clothes were completely drenched with sweat.
diaz probably sold him coke
Lol that's what I was thinking
Then he stole his change jar
wouldn't u like to have diaz as a neighbor
people from new jersey are pure satanists and many don't even knowcit
tonymontana357 and you must be from Florida you old fuck
"Profusciously" Great word...
I m from va joey you're the best.you tell it like it really was.
PIR Farley, truly comic genius..
When Chris passed comedy died for me
Wow that's crazy you actually got to see Chris Farley before he passed. R.I.P🙏
Man if Joey D in his prime thought something wrong of Farley that night and wanted to give him a hug… imagine how bad it really was. I feel like Joey would’ve been the first one to go in the back room and have fun with the guy.
"I was a lil chubby at the the time"
"was"
3rdCoast Chris ... I was, still am, but I also was, too.
But he isn't chubby now, he is straight up fat.
Probably what he meant.
Joey was over 400lb at one point hes lost a load of weight.
@Sundiata Keita i know he used to be twice the size though.
Love Joey. He is so unhealthy looking its pitiful.
Behind every comedian there is pain. I just wish he knew this, WE ARE LAUGHING WITH YOU. Today I watch still.
I'm from SwFla and here in Naples is a really respected rehab Willow of Naples and 1 of my best buddies, who is also no longer with us , was at the rehab and so was Chris Farley!! He said Farley was a nice guy and funny as we all would expect!! RIP to both of them,,
I feel for Chris . You can tell he was a really good dude with a ton of talent . Hollywood will use you up and spit you out . RIP Chris
Chris was messed up by Hollywood. All the best ones either die or become silent.
Chris Farley is a Wisconsin legend 💪🏾💯
respect for the Hollywood Henderson pic. that book he wrote was one of the best bios I ever read.
G_d bless, Chris. I wish he was still with us.
One of the saddest things that ever happened and he can't get the year right
When you grow up, and things happened twenty years ago you will understand
Why is he talking about Chris when the thumbnail is clearly Tim Dillion.
1:35 You absolutely mangled that expression.
I come back here at least once every 3 months breaks my heart.
People with a sense of humor often have the darkest hearts
pretty sure serial killers and pederasts have darker hearts... imo funny people seem prone to past trauma, self esteem challenges and often chemical imbalances, all the while taking on a unique and unforgiving career, Therefore they are extremely empathetic and sympathetic that have great capacity to love.
sure they got demons like all of us and when surrounded by more temptation that most couldn't resist...they get sick.
I wouldn't say "dark" hearts, but maybe broken hearts. Most of the great comedians come from a painful place. The challenge is to figure out how to work through it and to find some pleasure in life. It seems that Chris was not emotionally strong enough to do that. Having to write someone a 7 page letter explaining that you still care about them just goes to show how sensitive Chris was with the idea of rejection.
Bro I was freaking out thinking joey was on some heavy drugs cuz he was slurring and mumbling his words. I had it on 0.75....
I saw Chris Farley one time in my life. I'm an actor and I was an extra in the movie The Last Action Hero and there was a huge party after the premiere in Westwood Ca. that I attended. When I 1st walked in I saw Rob Lowe but didn't say anything to him. He was alone just looking around. I have to say this party was huge. They had a ride you could get on I think it was a seat you sat in and it whirled you around, open bar and just very lavish. After awhile being there, I saw 3 guys lined up. It was Chris Farley, David Spade and someone else I didnt recognize. Chris wore huge black glasses and a white shirt. I remember he was extremely sweaty and hair was all slicked back. He looked like he had been up all night partying , probably was. I just remember thinking, damn he looks a mess but forgetting about it until he was dead months later. I don't remember how long after I saw him but if I looked it up online I could piece it together but, it's not that important to me. Just thought I would share this story. I dont post anonymously so run my name on the imdb if you want to know who I am & verify this story. Peace to all who read this. - Johnny
Last Action Hero was released on June 18, 1993. Farley died exactly 4.5 years later.
@@brandonginsburg3120 Gotcha. Well, its a true story, didn't know he died that long later, hmmm.
Everyone hated to see the larger than life Farley and he was a big part of my childhood by happenstance and age...he was my favorite early comic before I really seen stand up or anything...and it is so very sad to see him go for me as a child
picture everything kevin james is in but put chris farley in it
faaatttt guuuuyyyyyy on a littleeee cooooaaatttt!!!!
one of the most talent and funny man out there TIL THIS DAY! he and Phil Hartman, that awesome age of SNL!
rip to these guys and my hero Patrick Swayze......the good die young indeed
Joey that sentence: don't talk to a celebrity that you look up to cuz you might be disappointed.. has opened up my vision times a 100!!
Ive had such situations!! and towards you I feel like I'm talking to an uncle although you are a celerbrity... your realness overpowers it!!
Thank you!! :)
I never would have guessed Joey Diaz to be a Black Sabbath fan
