The actress who played Helen proves there are no small parts, only small actors. She only had a few lines in this movie, but every one she had was delivered perfectly and, along with her facial expressions, made her one of the funniest and most memorable characters in this movie.
So true. I can't think of them off the top of my head at the moment (maybe because of whiskey), but there are so many waitress, cashier, pharmacist ... essentially customer service roles that when cast perfectly (not famously) are so, so good.
@@yazanfarraj5499, I love Chris Farley too. Just curious, I've asked this to many people, have you considered Jack Black to sort of be the Chris Farley of the 2000s? Jack's sort of played the same type of big overweight goofball type of characters, clumsy and not always too bright. But I'm still saying that he's just sort of like Chris Farley because he's not quite as funny as Farley was
I never realized when I was a kid just how deep and meaningful the story of this movie was. Its a lesson in confidence and learning how to win and succeed
I dunno man... it was a buddy comedy with a sappy message attached to it. They were a dime a dozen back then. Calling it deep and meaningful feels like too much imo, but its cool you got so much out of it!
@@CyckOne You're right, but people are seeing these older movies in a different way at the moment because the comedy movies of today are completely souless.
well he was a capitalist to begin with (he owned a factory = the means of production). so it's a fantasy story on how to succeed if you're a capitalist in a movie.
I like how they never apologize to each other for the fight. But they're playing the "I'm sorry" song while they look at each other in a remorseful way. It's kinda brilliant.
@@ragingmcqueen, yes, well I don't party much anymore. And I'm overweight but not as fat as Farley was. And I rarely drink anymore. But since I'm 45, I still better lose some weight if I don't want my first heart attack or stroke to be while I'm still 40-something, or 50-something
@Tucker Johnson, no, you're not wrong. It was drug overdose, I think. Well, some of it. But I also had thought it was also due to careless lifestyle in general. I was never totally sure. I don't think doctors were ever able to completely pinpoint cause of death.
In spite of Helen saying "god you're sick", she definitely liked Tommy after his number there, since Helen looked like someone who was usually grumpy with everyone, and wouldn't have ended up deciding to turn the fryers back on for them. She even smiled when deciding to do so
I used the sugar packet line on a young waitress one time, she took two steps away from the table turned around excitedly and pointed at me saying, "Tommyboy!" That was awesome.
@Pepe Lopez, he wasn't a bad person, he was just reckless and into drugs, which did help contribute to his early death. But that doesn't make one a "bad" person. Besides, he sure made us laugh
@@michaelpryor78 you're right. It's easy to mistaken a drug abuser as reckless. But they're not intentionally trying to be, they're just struggling with addictions. Chris Farley always meant well and he was a good guy.
The last minute of this clip is honestly a great scene. People buy you as much as they buy your product. If more sales people internalized this, they’d sell better.
"we still got that meatlover's pizza in the trunk" To this day I still wonder why they would have one of those in their trunk...and what it would taste like.
@@johnmathius1000 slightly less late to you, but that's not true. Everyone can achieve peace and happiness, regardless of any past experiences, it just takes a little bit of digging

Yeah, I have the feeling few people even know about the book anymore so they don't know he's spoofing Lenny and his unfortunate tendency to kill puppies by petting them too hard.
I can still remember the first time I watched this movie. When the hood flew up while they were singing I have never laughed so hard in my life. My stomach hurt so bad and I was crying it's hard to find movies that make you do that lol
Chris Farley was such a great actor, I really wish he was alive today. He would have made many great movies, and so many people laugh, he was such a great man!
Don't worry, since I saw this movie in the theater all those years ago, I thought he was saying "indian" as well. Thank you @Shaun Pearson for pointing this out.
This was filmed at the legendary salty dawg saloon in kleinburg Ontario. Used to be a great spot. Thursday nights were 50 cent wings. We all wanted wingy
@BWGgy That's why it's always best to buy shrimp raw. You can de-turd them before they're cooked and not make them look messy when they're ready to be served. As a prep-cook I use to clean them many times before I grilled,fried,boiled or added them into pasta.
These guys were hilarious together!! They were the new Laurel and Hardy of the 90s!! I always loved Chris Farleys movies!! I remember watching this scene for the first time, and I couldnt stop laughing!!! :)
@S S I'm not the superhero di ck thirsty fanboy that assumed I was talking about Marvel movies to begin with. But ten year old's don't have much on the mind but superheroes huh (;
You know, I think Kevin James' roll in Grown Ups would've belonged to Chris Farley had he never died, 'cause Chris was the perfect comedy actor for that.
I'm 10 years late, so I'll reply. I think you're right. Adam Sandler wrote Grown-ups back in the 90s, and Kevin James role was written with Chris in mind. I think Adam, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider would have all still played their roles, but Chris Farley would have been in the movie. I think Adam wanted to make the movie in the late 90s, but unfortunately, Chris died.
To This day I'm 61 now I still recite many of the scenes from the movie it still gets me right in the belly just thinking about it. Not many people left today who have that kind of talent who can just make you laugh till you cry. Chris Farley was amazing at it, remember the motivational speaker 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Remember when you were with the Beatles 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 The world misses you Chris. 💔
The scene that gets me everytime is the one where from across the lake Tommy yells at the boys and tell them that he's going to shove the oar right up their asses!!!! LMFAO 😂 DEAD
So sad he had to go early seeing this as a kid he became my adult idol for the longest time. Can't believe it's been almost 20 yrs since his passing 😥😤
Ive spent all but four years of my adult life as a salesman. Mark my words, I am going to deliver this soliloquy to a waitress word for word in its entirety once before I die and have it on film to share with the world.
I'm just kidding bro. I'm in sales too its a tough fuckin up and down racket. That would be epic if you were someone/ a customer in the restaurant and heard somebody recite that haha. I'd honestly be like put whatever he's having on my tab.
theres a wing truck in DT Austin called "Tommy Want Wingy" makes me laugh every time I see it.
That's awesome. I wonder how many people know what it's from?
Damn a wing truck thats awesome all we have around here is ice cream and nasty taco roach buses
I can’t believe I found this comment!!! I have a picture of that exact food trucks logo! Awesome :)
I love that

Got to be one of the funniest clips ever. Spade and Farley together, who woulda thunk it. It's too bad Chris couldn't find happiness.
What do you mean who woulda thunk it? They were best friends all throughout SNL! It was only a matter of when, not if!
