Summary: Classic Physical Comedy
Review: In his short tenure on this earth, Chris Farley provided us with some of the funniest moments in "Saturday Night Live" history. Heavily inspired by John Belushi (not just in his comedy but his dangerous lifestyle), he suddenly became the show's most talented physical comedians, bringing the pratfall back to households. 5 years of classic comedy has been put on this dvd. Farley created for himslef a variety of classic charcaters for himself, including Matt Foley (who lives in a van down by the river!!!), Todd O'Connor of "Superfans" and Barney The Chippendale Auditioner. All of these classic characters are here. Also, there's his "exciting" impression of Laurie Davis in the "Focus On Beauty" sketch. There are several montages that just to show how funny he was: one where he's in drag, a montage of his talk show, one showcasing his physical comedy, an impressions montage, and one featuring outtakes from Dress Rehersal. Overall, very good. My one complaint may seem odd. There's not enough sketches featruing Adam Sandler! I know that the focus is supposed to be on Farley, but he and Adam shared so many great skecthes together, and they obviosuly bought out the best of each other. The ones with him are good, but it would have been better if "Zagat's" and "Gap Girls" (both featured briefly in the "Drag Montage) were on here. But still, it's an excellent dvd.

Summary: A worthy remembrance of the tragic death of a comic genius
Review: It's safe to say that Chris Farley is my favorite comedian of all time, bar none, that ever graced the stages of SNL, or every graced the silver screen, for that matter. Watching this DVD is like taking a trip down memory lane - one where you laugh out loud at Matt Foley, or Benet Browler, or even Barney, the overweight stripper trying out for the Chip 'N Dales. These characters are what opitimizes Chris Farley: they are memorable, loud, sweaty, and funny. They don't just blend into the background on numerous one-off skits like so many other SNL actors have, but instead, have created legends that will live in the memories forever of anyone who watched SNL in the 1990s. And yet, it is in this, that this DVD will make you want to cry when it's over. Tim Meadows' touching speech at the end summed up so well why we loved Chris so much, and what a tragidy his untimely death truly was for the world. This DVD is a must-have for anyone, if for nothing else, than as a testiment to what one man, so depressed and down on himself, can do when he truly enjoys his work, and truly enjoys brightening people's lives. That said, there are a couple downsides to the DVD:
1) Lunchlady land could have been cut shorter to include more memorable scenes that were left out
2) On the original SNL airing of this, they had the Little Women spoof-skit where Chris Farley falls through the ice. It was HILARIOUS, one of his best ever. Yet, they left it off the DVD and subsequent airings of the SNL episode on comedy central. WHY? Every Chris Farley fan I know has this same complaint! BUT THIS DVD NOW!

Summary: Best SNL Tape So Far
Review: Of all the SNL tapes(all of them pretty darn good), this is probably the best one of them all. Everything is compiled so well and the laughs practically never stop. Plus, Farley was one of the greatest SNL members ever. I strongly recommend this tape to any SNL fan or anybody who just wants a good laugh.

Summary: You can't help laughing...
Review: Over the years, I would see Chris Farley from time to time and find him only mildly amusing. I'm not sure what inspired me to buy this video in the first place...but I'm very glad I did. My wife and I were doubled over on the floor, totally out of control, as we watched some of the bits in this video. These are just priceless sketches from the Saturday Night Live archives. In case you happen to recall some of his funnier moments on SNL, here's a list of most of the routines that are on this video: "Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker", "Chippendale's Audition", "The Chris Farley Show" (interviews with Jeff Daniels and Paul McCartney), "Bennett Brouwer", "Roseanne and Tom", "El Nino", "Lunch Lady", "Japanese Jeopardy", "Herlihy Boy". We've watched this video at least 30 times--every time a friend (who hasn't already seen it) comes by for a visit, we offer to play it. It's just one of those videos you've got to have in your collection!

Summary: Farley! Farley! Farley!
Review: Pretty awesome if you ask me. I'd give this 4 1/2 stars if I could. With his screaming and yelling till his face turns red and belly flopping on furniture, this is a hoot. Just wish some of the segments went on a little bit longer. A great tape to remember Chris Farley by. If you think he's funny, buy this. It'll keep you rolling with laughter throughout.

Summary: CHRIS FARLEY IS A GOD!
Review: The DVD rocked. Chris Farley was the only reason why I watch SNL. His movies are funny, and are worth what ever you pay for them. This DVD is an example of that. Nothing on this DVD was boring. It is the best SNL video to be released since The Best Of Eddie Murphy Saturday Night Live.

Summary: The film is great depiction of Chris Farley's true talent.
Review: The film is a great depiction of Chris Farley's true talent and it exhibits just how unfortunate it is to not have his unique ability to make people laugh, present in our society anymore.

Summary: The Best "Best Of" from Saturday Night Live
Review: There have been so many great players that have come and gone from Saturday Night Live. Of all of the "Best Of" collections that this show has produced, the "Best Of Chris Farley" stands alone. If you don't get it, you must be "LIVIN' IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!"

Summary: Great!!
Review: This dvd is a great collection of skits from a great comedian. The only problem I have is that as a dvd they should have had alot more on here. Another thing is that they completely removed the Little Women skit!!! It was on there when they showed it on tv but they took it out. crazy.
