Chris Farley vs. John Belushi

I'm probably in the minority, but I grew up with him on snl and his movies and just think he is funnier. I think Tommy Boy and Black Sheep are funnier than any movies Belushi made.

Before you all start attacking me, please respect my opinion and I'll respect yours.

Re: Chris Farley vs. John Belushi

No problem, everyone is entitled to an opinion. Comedy is particularly subjective.

My vote is for Belushi. He's one of those guys who could make me laugh just by appearing on screen.

Re: Chris Farley vs. John Belushi

This poll serves no purpose other than to remind me they're both dead

Though, John loses points for being related to Jim.

Re: Chris Farley vs. John Belushi

I grew up during Farley's prime, so he's my pick. I've always thought Belushi was funny, but he's never killed me like Farley.

SNL: Belushi=Farley (w/slight edge to Farley, only bc I grew up on his seasons)
Fillm: Belushi>Farley (not even close)

Re: Chris Farley vs. John Belushi

I think John Candy was funnier than both of them put together. But since that's not part of this poll, Belushi is the clear winner.

We should do a poll of funny fat men. Oliver Hardy, John Candy, John Belushi, Chris Farley, Kevin James. Who else?

Farley's schtick got old quick. Belushi on the other hand was hilarious.

Some guy named Jackie Gleason was funny I heard.

Will Sasso.


But of those two listed, BELUSHI. I never liked any of Farley's movies, but he was great on SNL.

Re: Chris Farley vs. John Belushi

I voted for Farley. I think I felt sorry for him since he spent so much of his life living in a van down by the river.

Indeed.

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EfGgorajsro&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EfGgorajsro&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

The fact that anyone finds Farley funny is beyond me. I'd rather watch a Joe Piscapo film than fifteen minutes of him and David Spade acting like lobotomized stooges.

Re: Chris Farley vs. John Belushi

Belushi, easily. While both were funny on SNL, Farley's films are uniformly terrible, while Belushi has both Animal House and Blues Brothers to his credit.
