Saturday Night Live - The Best of Chris Farley

Buy This Item Saturday Night Live - The Best of Chris Farley by Lions Gate  Available from Amazon  $14.98  on 11-16-2008     <I>The Best of Chris Farley</I> blasts through 68 minutes of the wildly hilarious characters the comic actor created while with <I>Saturday Night Live</I> in the early 1990s. Farley was a comedic gem--not only because he created such bizarre, repulsively funny characters, such as Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker, or Lori Davis, cosmetics infomercial queen, but because he lived completely inside the character, delivering lines with whatever fury, stupidity, hypertension, insecurity, or femininity the situation demanded. Clearly, Farley loved making people laugh and he wasn't afraid to use his big bulk to do it, whether it entailed stripping as a Chippendale's dancer, belly flopping on coffee tables, rolling around on a couch as Tom Arnold, or punching his forehead in dismay on the "Chris Farley Show." What's great about this collection is all of those characters appear; what's disappointing is that some don't linger long enough, while others appear a bit too long. The cafeteria-lady number could've been cut short in lieu of a longer Tom Arnold segment, or Herlihy Boy could've been removed altogether in favor of complete "Chris Farley Show" segments. Still, if you forgot how side-splitting Farley's portrayal of Dom DeLuise or the French-fry-stuffing Gap girl was, this video will happily jog your memory. <I>--Karen Karleski</I> Reader Reviews Other than the last sketch that drags on & on, the entire DVD will leave you grasping your stomach in hilarity. Speaking of stomachs, Chris' is apparent throughout. My favorite is the chipendales sketch. It's worth it just for that. M
