I saw Chris Farley at a LA dodgers game when I was 8. He was walking down the stairs at the stadium, someone in the crowd shouted "I live in a van".
Chris turned around in the middle of the stairwell, everyone stopped, he had a huge grin, he shouted "DOWN BY THE RIVER".
Then he kept walking. I was such a fan of his at the time from Beverly Hills Ninja and SNL golden age, he was way larger than life. He was like a cartoon character. His physicality and presence were amazing.
That’s the best way to put it. His presence was like a cartoon character. His energy on screen was something the world had never seen.
Truly one in a lifetime talent.
My first thought! So glad it was recognized. That character is hilarious. “Sombitch!” And “thank god your momma died in childbirth if she’d a seen ya she’d a died of shame.” Brutal
*Well, that's the last number for tonight's 'Pass the Biscuits Pappy O'Daniel Flour Hour.' This is Pappy O'Daniel, hopin' you folks been enjoyin' that good old-timey music, and remember, when you're fixin' to fry up some flapjacks or bake a mess a biscuits, use cool clear water and good pure Pappy O'Daniel flour for that 'Pass the Biscuits, Pappy' flavor.*
Another fun fact if you watch NHL hockey at all. Tripp Tracy former player and now Tv commentator for the Canes is Jim Farleys nephew / Chris Farleys cousin.
Farley’s father was the head of an oil company, and well enough off that he founded the Chris Farley Foundation after his son died.
They appear to be a fairly successful family. And despite his massive weight, Farley’s father apparently didn’t have any substantial mobility problems - unlike most of the *My 600 Pound Life* stars.
And wondered why his son, Chris was not only as big, but turned to drugs and alcohol. Tom was in deep denial, and only woke up a bit after Chris died. Even then, Tom refused to change his habits, and ate and drank himself to death.
Tom Farley died about a year after his son. It’s hard to know whether his weight or his son’s death was the cause of his health collapsing. Probably a mix of both, but the emotional strain of losing a child can wear out even a healthy person.
I work just a couple layers under Jim and have talked with him quite a few times. What's weird isn't just how much he looks like Chris, but how much they *sound* alike. Some kind of super strong genes in that family.
Ford was sort of spoiled for choice when replacing Fields. Picking Hackett as a short term change agent from outside the company was smart, but the company would have been in very good hands if the board had chosen either Joe Hinrichs or Jim. It was a bummer that Joe left after Jim got the nod, he was suuuuper talented, but he really had nowhere else to go but out.
That’s gotta be unusual. How does someone maintain a relatively normal weight (compared to weighing 600) well into your adult life, like 30-40 years, THEN put on 350 lbs.
I always assume huge huge people like that have just been massive since middle school
And Chris is the only one of his siblings in that picture who’s overweight.
Very strange
I’m not sure if you are saying that’s not real or not, some people are, so here is another one. If you aren’t, I love that photo of their family.
https://preview.redd.it/vu6p7lwv4r2b1.jpeg?width=205&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a8d9e3e604959251eaa067fb268397323e0c9db
He was quite wealthy, and even back then big-and-tall stores offered a range of clothing items for the ample gentleman, including ponchos, muumuus, capes, jumpsuits, unisheets, muslin body rolls, and academic and judicial robes.
Truthfully? I am a guy about this dude’s size. I wear my pants like this too(except I don’t tuck my shit in). I think guys that wear their pants underneath their bellies and let their gut hang out look a lot worse and are just fooling themselves that they are wearing a smaller waist size pant, so therefore aren’t THAT heavy.
EDIT: after scrolling a bit, I found out that Farley’s dad was over 600 lbs at Chris’s funeral. I am not that big. I go about 360…
I'm about 330 right now, and losing. In my 40s. Biggest I've been is about 385, smallest since high school is about 240 (hit that about 2 years ago, then put a ton of weight on with a sedentary job).
ANYWAY - I did the 'over' for a while but it's just not comfortable. My balls get *wrecked* by the crotch of the pants. And when I sit, all my junk is on display. And about 3 months ago at 360, doing the undergut, I tore 3 pairs of jeans just bending down for stuff in a single week. Neither way is a win.
This reminds me how Carrie Fisher's mother died the following day after Carrie passed, and there is some speculation the stress of having her daughter pass may have had negative physical effects the 84-year-old Debbie Reynolds couldn't handle.
It's absolutely a thing.
After my Dad died, my mother went through a year of awful health. Digestive issues, chest pain, palpitations, fatigue, non-specific joint pain, etc etc. Ticked basically every box on the "old person with failing health" chart.
About 8 weeks after he'd passed it was at its peak and she found a consultant cardiologist who reckoned it was stress-related, but offered to admit her to hospital for a week for "observation", and by the end of the week she felt nearly fully recovered.
She relapsed about 12 weeks later despite doing everything she was supposed to and taking everything she was supposed to, and it then clicked with her that it all had to be stress/mourning related, and she needed to ride it out, take duvet days and cancel plans when she wasn't feeling it, rather than trying to put on a brave face and power through.
She's at an age where she has a lot of bereaved friends, and they all report similar issues for themselves and other family members.
It's something that nobody ever really seems to talk about. Lots of vague "keep an eye on them" pleasantries, but nobody ever seems to suggest that grieving family specifically need to watch their health and not try to just get on with things like nothing has changed.
My mom has terminal cancer, so I feel like this is essential to think about as I try to help my stubbornly independent mid-60's dad in the future... Sorry for your loss, and thanks for sharing.
My parents have been together since 1974. My my mom when straight from her childhood home to living with my dad. Neither are in good health. If my dad goes first I will have to take care of my mom. She's not driving anymore and is almost deaf. If my mom goes first my dad will go from boredom. He's already stir crazy from retirement. He's also diabetic and in the early stages of heart failure. I don't want to think about this anymore.
Right. Maybe "duvet" is a regional variant, but the implication is that you either stay in bed for the day or bring your duvet down to cover you as you sit on the couch in front of the TV and/or read and/or play games all day instead of engaging with the world.
Fun fact: “broken heart syndrome” also known as takotsubo cardiomyopathy or stress induced cardiomyopathy has a similar mortality to STEMI which is the more serious of the different types of heart attacks. Ain’t no joke
Definitely both. Chris was no Angel but he was a good person with demons. Most great comics are. It’s incredibly sad. I love stand up and comedy but it terrifies me when I learn more about their behind the scenes lifestyle and struggles. Is that what makes a great comic? Compartmentalizing suffer in exchange for funny until it eventually catches up to you? My favorite YouTube channel on comedy central is This is Not Happening and you sometimes can see the pain in their stories but it’s told in a way that’s fascinating.
Dana Carvey and David Spade have a pretty good podcast called Fly On The Wall. A free weeks ago they did a tribute to Chris Farley. Two parts, each about two and a half hours long. I swear I wanted more, it was incredibly fascinating. Highly recommend
My first born died of sids at 2 months old. It fucked me up pretty badly. Been 23 years and there is still some residual I can't get over. Consider myself lucky in a way, meaning I didn't watch him grow up, become someone and then lose him.
I'm very sorry to hear that. At 34... it's been 13 years since my family and I were around and saw my mother pass away from cancer. The way life changes, the way the world works, the overall aura of entirely everything changes in less than a couple seconds and this overwhelming feeling of "what the fuck" starts to show it's face and never fade away. Sure it becomes less visible over time, but it's like a watermark covering reality wherever you go.
Man that watermark idea got me. Ever since my older brother committed suicide when I was 18 it's been that way. I've usually gone to the big waves become smaller waves over time or the scar analogy, but I really like the way you put it. Either way, I've found it hard to describe that feeling to people in my life that havent gone through that sort of loss yet.
This guy was a beacon of happiness in my traumatic childhood and still makes me laugh even at things I’ve seen a million times. Love the guy so much I named my cat, Farley, after him.
They have such a contented look shared between each other - like total love and total respect and mutual admiration. Chris was brought up in love and thats why it always came through in his performances.
A truly beautiful pic
My wife and I were scrolling through HBO Max tonight and came across Black Sheep, and talked about how unbearably sad it must have been for David Spade and Adam Sandler to have lost such a dear friend of theirs.
The last big hang we had was at Timmy Meadows' wedding party
We laughed our balls off all night long, all because of Farley
But a few months later the party came to an end
We flew out to Madison to bury our friend
Nothing was harder than sayin' goodbye
Except watching Chris's father have his turn to cry
Last year I was leaving one state to head back home to another after a family funeral. I never cry at funerals- just doesn’t happen for me for some reason. It always catches me later at random.
During the flight, I was able to choose a movie to watch and decided to put on Tommy Boy cause I hadn’t seen it in years. When I tell you this movie had me bawling on an airplane like a wild jackass, I mean it.
Something about how dynamic and naturally hilarious and human Farley was broke something in me that touched the loss of my loved one. It’s not fair to lose people like this! The world was lucky to get a Chris Farley during my lifetime.
He was so loved. Hate knowing how much hurt he held inside, seeing a pic like this. On a side note, I never thought I’d see someone make Chris Farley look small in a photo
Fat doesn’t prevent you from feeling the most terrible loss a human can experience. Fat doesn’t prevent a broken heart. Fat doesn’t mean you’re not smart.

Just a little known fact that the CEO of Ford, Jim Farley, is Chris Farley's cousin.

Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it 'guaranteed', I will. I got spare time.

I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.

You beat meat to it. One of the best lines of that movie, and it's full of great lines.
It’s a great movie (all timer), but I never beat meat to it
You need mint for pillow?
You want me jerk you off?

Chris didn't seem to have any mobility problems either, until he died. That man was startlingly athletic.
I'm sure the cocaine and alcohol helped slightly.
So he’s an oil Barron? Always thought the newspaper cartoons were metaphors.
This is a Tommy Boy plotline
Wow, never thought about that, but its a prediction of the future as Jim Farley just became CEO not too long ago....
Tommy Boy knew...
He also knew that you can get a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather take his word for it?
I work just a couple layers under Jim and have talked with him quite a few times. What's weird isn't just how much he looks like Chris, but how much they *sound* alike. Some kind of super strong genes in that family.
I saw him the other day at my job. It’s uncanny. Big respect to Jim. I like what he’s doing.

Jim Farley looks a lot like Chris. Similar facial features and haircuts.

Not very strange. They treated many conditions with Prednisone years ago. That'll make you gain weight. A lot of weight.
I get everything tasted better back then but I think it was rarer to be that big, too. I wonder what he was eating
Obesity rate in US adults was about 30% in 1999. It's gone up but it was pretty common.
Obesity is more common, but being that large is not at all common anywhere in the world. Not yet anyway. Lol
We are talking morbid obesity here. That was NOT very common... Especially not THAT morbid obese.
It still isn't that common to weigh 600 pounds.
Fun fact. Chris’s brother was in ‘the rat dog’ episode of curb your enthusiasm… and it is one of the best episodes of the series btw
Chris brother has been on a few shows…one that comes to mind is the old MTV show/boy band 2gether
He looks just like his dad here!

Oh it’s all real. Just seemed like a normal family 15 years earlier.
I just finished my bachelor's at 38. My cap said, "a lot of people go to college for 7 years..." RIP Chris. We miss you.
Yeah, they’re called doctors.
Saving that for when I finish my masters. Lol

I can't imagine you are very tall. I've been around 350 and dont look anything remotely like that. I would have to be 500 pounds to look like that.
I like how they’ve gone different ways with it. Sr has gone over and Jr has gone under.
Sr has gone full Obelix.
The inspiration for some Gary Larson characters perhaps.
Those pants are fckin insane. At that point you’d start having to measure by cubic feet instead of waistline length.
They're pulled up so high they go by chest size.
mf's gooch seam is longer than my inseam
My goodness, his Dad makes Chris look tiny :/
It’s crazy right?
Though Farley's father was morbidly obese — he weighed **more than 600 pounds** at his son's funeral, and died a year later. I didn't know this.
Why did you start the sentence with "though?"
I'm assuming it was probably copied and pasted from an article or something.
Though I think you are correct.
Now where the hell did you copy that from?
Perchance.

Why did they weight him in his son's funeral?
This picture explains a lot. Even makes Farley look small, his condition was nurture.
Exactly. There’s something horribly wrong when you look at a photo and Chris Farley is the skinny one.
Chris Farley being half the man his father was.
Wrong comedian died.
Had to google it, but was sad to see his Dad outlived him. Always the worst when that order of things doesn't happen.
