Before Tommy Boy and Black Sheep, there was Saturday Night Live with Chris Farley, that will forever remain the funniest stuff he's ever done

Chris Farley is one of my favorite comedians and to me will forever be missed as the big, clumsy, and drop dead hilarious comedian to ever live. Saturday Night Live shows the funniest skits I have ever seen of his. The Japanese show, "Da Bears," The coffee fight scene, The Herlihy boy, Schmitts Gay, The Chris Farley Show, Matt Foley, Chippendales dance scene, The El Nino weather scene, and more. Before Tommy Boy and Black Sheep, there was Saturday Night Live with Chris Farley, that will forever remain the funniest stuff he's ever done. I highly recommend you seeing The Best of Chris Farley because you will die laughing at his skits. He represents comedy!
