Editorial Review:
The Best of Chris Farley blasts through 68 minutes of the wildly hilarious characters the comic actor created while with Saturday Night Live 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. --Karen Karleski
Saturday Night Live - The Best of Chris Farley Reviews:
Liked it alot-Funny 
2009-12-09 - Great video, got this version cause i read this was longer than the newer version. Very funny stuff, big fan of Chris. Must have if your a fan and into his comedy. Really enjoyed the DVD and am glad i bought it.
Surprise 
2009-01-08 - We have never been Chris Farley fans, but this is the best "Best of SNL" DVD hands down. Even better we have kids age 10-15 and where some of the other DVD's were not appropriate for kids this age, this one is comparatively mild. Just goes to show sex, drugs and bad language does not make something funny.
R.I.P. Farley!
2008-06-28 - The best "Best of" SNL video they have ever made!
Chris's tragic death only made his legend grow!
Hilarious video, I recommend the DVD though!
HA HA HA HA GET IT!!!!
2007-04-22 - 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.

Chris Farley was AWESOME!!!
2006-04-08 - I'm a big fan of Farley and this DVD is great, except for the omission of a skit that aired when they first played this show on television the Saturday after his death. It has always been one of my favorite Farley skits. David Hyde Pierce, Jeanane Garofalo, and David Spade are all in it with Farley, in a late 19th Century village where they are all prim and proper and go ice skating, Chris falls through the ice and starts yelling and carrying on in typical Farley fashion yelling at Garofalo 'what do mean whatever shall you do, save me you stupid whore!!' I would have given the DVD 5 stars but the fact that they altered it to add the skit of the interview with some Wilson Phillips stuff or whatever (i just FF that skit, i despise it) and the omission of the Ice Fall Skit have kept me from giving it 5 stars. You won't be disapppointed, it's a great DVD though...
