I was truly excited when I purchased this DVD. The classic skits from back in the '90 were amazing, and produced many great comedians. I remember watching the tribute live when Chris passed away. It was 2hrs of hilarious moments that made your sides hurt. Unfortunately, since the original airing of the Chris Farley Tribute, this "BEST OF.." DVD has been edited: missing some of the funniest scenes (ie: Little women, Hurlihey Boy, Schmitz Gay commercial....It doesn’t even have Tim Meadows touching intro to his friend Farley that was at the beginning of the Original Tribute. If you didn't know any better, you would assume that Farley was still alive; no mention or tribute to his career and early passing. "BEST OF..." to me would mean "BEST OF..." It seems that the people of SNL thought it would be nice to remove these scenes and make the "BEST OF..." only 60 mins. Thats it! On the positive side there are a lot of funny skits that bring you back. I would recommend this DVD to the FARLEY FAN.... but you'll be left hungry for more.Read full review
Chris Farley was one of the funniest SNL comedians. I have been watching many of the SNL best of DVDs with my son and this one is his favorite so far. That is compared to John Belushi, Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, and Mike Meyers. Chris is raw slapstick at its finest. What a talent he was! Definitely watch the special features too. There are some gems hidden in there.

This is a fine tribute to Chis Farley! He was a guy so full of energy that did whatever he could to make people laugh. His old SNL skits are so hilarious to this day. His characters are all unforgettable. So happy to have these skits to watch again and again!

This is a great one to watch. Chris Farley was a great comic whos life was cut short. This features some of the most famous Saturday Night Live acts Chris Farley did. Great lines that get stuck in your head like "Live in a van down by the river". He really got into his characters and often could be seen doing things like crash through windows and landing and breaking coffee tables. Some other great scenes were when he was trying out of Chip and Dales (Up against Patrick Swayze), Da Bears football scene and so much more. My favorite is when he, David Spade, and Adam Sandler were dressed up like teenage girls in a mall, they just sat down at the food court and Chris was eating some of Davids fries. I won't tell the whole tag line but that one always gets me laughing when I see it.
Item came in great condition. The feature itself played well but as a fan i felt that some of the skits moved to quickly and were not shown in their entirety. Maybe I'm too big a fan but I think this should have been a 2 or 3 disk special of Chris Farley however i did enjoy what I saw.
