This completely explains why he keeps his friends close and in all his movies, he never got over losing chris at such a young age
@Jody Schmuckatelli I pray your best friend is resting happy and rocking on
Jody Schmuckatelli I hope you’re finding peace and may your friend Rest In Peace 💙
People give Sandler crap for the quality of his movies, but specifically casts his friends like Meadows, Spade and Schneider as an excuse to keep together. I heard "Grown Ups" was basically a working vacation for them.
He's a real friend
How could he? I was a huge Chris fan growing up and I still haven't gotten over it.
"show the court where mr sandler touched you"
me: **points to the heart**
@Hilltop Slim 614 SHHHHH! You want Jared to comeback?!
@@RandomAwesomeDude Hes too busy getting the foot long in prison 😂😂😂🤣

Dude he didn’t touch me there he cunt punched that shit
Adam Sandler keeps Chris Farley alive every time he plays it.
Yep
I was just watching Chris Farley yesterday. His skits on SNL
Yes and every time he talks about him and every time in general

Absolutely. Saw him play this last night at his Manchester comedy show and it was amazing
This is the most beautiful tribute a friend has ever made for another friend.
i come back and watch this all the time. i think the same. i think its one of the most beautiful things to ever grace tv. because its not about who they are or being famus. this is love and greif in such a pure form. and its absolutly beautiful .
It really is ❤
This song makes me sad not only because I miss Chris Farley so much --- but I also realize I don't have a friend as true and loyal as Adam was to Chris!
I’ve seen better
Wish they made a movie about him behind closed doors
Chris Farley is not dead. He's just livin' in a van down by the river in our hearts.
Deep bro. Love it! Forever young and immortal through his performances!!
YES!!! ❤️
Well tell him to get out here we need him!!!!
With Phil Hartman.
I've seen him once in the most outrageous moments series. I didn't think he died.
I love the fact that people will slam Sandler for making films the way he does. He doesn't make films for ratings he makes them because he gets to fuck around with his buddies. We'd do the same.
I love his movies... Of all the movies I've seen, it's his I remember and enjoy the most 🥲
Don’t forget the insurance fraud
Pretty sure he makes them to make four billion dollars.
He never forgot his friends and made sure they had success as well you have to respect that even if you don't like his movies.
I love many of his early films. Maybe it’s because I grew up with them I don’t know. At some point his movies definitely became a joke tho. But he gets paid millions to bulls- around with his friends, so I guess it’s not that surprising he keeps making them lol
This is why I can’t ever say anything bad about Adam. Not all of his movies are bangers but he’s a genuine guy.
I was about to post a similar comment. Some of his films are good and heart felt (Wedding Singer, Click) while others were …not so good. But Adam has heart and loyalty to his friends. And that’s worth a ton in my book
This is a great comment.
Agreed. He's a great person
Agreed!!!
@@msawyer110True!!!
2:42 "But a few months later
the party came to an end,
We flew out to Madison
to bury our friend.
Nothing was harder,
than saying goodbye,
except watching Chris's
Father have his turn to cry."
Man, that verse brings a tear to my eye every time.
We live in Madison & have been over to 'visit' Chris Farley a few times, his Dad is entombed not far from Chris. So sad to know that if he could have found a way to manage his demons, he could still be here with us & making us all laugh...
Died two days after I turned 10 worst year ever cuz my mother lost her uncle the same month 😔💔
@@babycakes1402 he probably make a craziest dad and grandpa if the you know what didn't kill him 😔
I know Right!!!
Agreed 1000%
You can hear Sandler’s voice cracking, you can feel the emotion man
Ok, if you say so!
@@docholliday4546 you obviously know nothing of there relation ship. And how dare a piece of shit like you disgrace doc holiday...
@@harveylovell8953 it's spelled "their" and holy jeez... triggered much?
ddjino666 Get over yourself troll. You’re not funny or clever.
@@ddjino666 Holy jeez , CZcams comment queef much ? Feel the need to jump into strangers banter much ? Simmer down, boring asshole . The fact I'm commenting on your basic troll comment is depressing enough . I just like to point out socially inept kiddos that have some sort of superiority complex on a goddamned CZcams clip . Guessing you're a real poon magnet .
I’ve heard that complete crap about not meeting your heroes...I met Chris Farley. He’s not a hero, but he was my favorite comedian when I was younger. As I approached his table I thought I had made a mistake. I was only 10 years old and 6 men were looking at me, with disdain. Aside from one. The annoyed look on everyone’s face at that table had paralyzed me, however this feeling was completely washed away as Chris Farley sprang up from his seat, fully animated, putting his out towards mine and shaking my hand. I don’t remember every second of that moment, but I will always remember how Chris Farley took a few minutes to give me his full attention. With a smile and a laugh in his voice, he asked me what kind of autographs I wanted.
Casey Flentye that’s awesome man. He’s sure did love kids. A true catholic as well. Thanks for sharing that story.
He loved kids. Would've been a great dad.
Casey Flentye that’s awesome. I heard stories about fans who happened to see him. Farley NEVER turned down a fan who wanted an , autograph, picture or even a handshake. I wish more celeberties these days were as friendly as that man.
Joey Pethan yup all great dads have a bad drug addiction....
so precious!
One thing is for sure, Chris had friends who loved him and stuck by him even in times of difficulty. 25 years later they still speak of him with love and that's what we all need in life, love.
I think we all speak of him with love. 25 years later and all I want to hear from that cast in interviews is a memory of Chris.
Yeah somewhere I watched a CZcams video where they said something like: "within within an average of 1 month of you dying noone ever thinks of you"......
Today I saw a post on a MrBallen upload saying that they lost a family member called Farley.
That led me here.....
If either that person is way wrong or the other side of this average is people forget you after a few seconds..
Yes❤
You’re right about that!!!!
Chris attained in his short life what many strive for in a lifetime, genuine admiration.
When Adam sang this all backstage activity stopped and everyone was watching. Tears were flowing because many of the SNL crew have been with the show for decades and several knew Chris personally.

@@lorddude123 . . 5:40 of this video ----> czcams.com/video/A1_w54GeXZ4/video.html
Fun fact: Keenan is the last SNL cast member to have done a skit with Farley. He was a guest on All That in 1997.
@@lorddude123 Many sources. Not hard to find. Fallon told the story on the Tonight Show.
@@Gdsm9 claims source provides none
You can really tell Adam’s trying so hard to hold back his tears.
He was saying in an interview that he almost did not do the song because he could not get through it in rehearsals w/o crying.
I feel like he always looks like that when he tells Farley stories
Jordan Grandgenett no I’m talking about his voice. He had little voice cracks in his performance
Blue Kang yeah I agree with you. It’s very moving
I was thinking about how hard I was writing the song. It just took so long because every new line was a good cry.
"We'd tell him, slow down or you'll end up like Belushi and Candy, he said, those guys are my heroes, that's all fine and dandy..." Wow. That's a powerful line.
yeah that line really got me
It’s also true
That line did me in. I felt that. 😔
@@franciscocasero4566 same here
John Candy didn't die from drug abuse, right?
This song legit makes me cry...Adam's pain and love are so palpable. And it makes me laugh remembering Farley's antics. The best thing Adam Sandler has ever done creatively. Bravo.
Yes, absolutely the best thing Adam has done.
@@stevesurprenant1005 that sounds slightly backhanded. personally im gonna bet you didnt mean it that way.
I can't even imagine how much it sucks for someone like Adam who brought every one of his friends along with him through every bit of success and fame to have to look back and think about how much he would have loved to have Chris along with him the whole time.
Bittersweet I am sure
According to the Chris Farley documentary, Chris felt depressed and alone no longer being part of the SNL group after they were let go and for good reason. Lorne felt that Chris and Adam were ready to be famous on their own and wanted others to shine, but Chris couldn’t handle being independent. I wish he knew how much Adam wouldve kept trying for him.
@@lordalessanchris and adam should have never been fired, that was a pure disgrace from nbc
This is incredible. You can tell how much Chris meant to Adam. He was holding back tears near the end.
He felt like it throughout, I don't blame him. Chris is probably crying too in the afterlife.
They shared an office at SNL.
@@daemonelectricity Yeah they did.
100% accuracy in that statement. That had me getting choked up. I wish Chris Farley and Robin Williams could have made a film together, but the world would have imploded in that case.
He heard you!!!
Lots of respect to Adam Sandler for finishing the song through tears.
Kind of like hearing Paul Mc cartney sing " Here Today". I cried right along with him when I saw him in concert. Still cry everytime.
God knows I couldn't/can't make it through without being a mess
Music has that power
If I was in the position I wouldn't have been able to especially if David Spade was in front of me in the crowd and you know he would have been crying. I don't know if Spade was there or not but I know how I feel about my friends and all
Absolutely, it was straight from the heart 👌
3 years later and I'm still crying. My brothers and I grew up with Farley. We still laugh at his skit and movies. He was one of our 90s memories. I miss that man 😢
Saw him play this a couple nights ago in Seattle. The crowd went absolutely crazy at the “if we make enough noise” part. It’s nice to know that even though he’s been gone for a long time people still remember him fondly.
Adam held it together, you could hear it in his voice. Damn bet that was hard.
He really had to compose himself when he got to the part about Farleys dad. Awesome tribute
@xxx ooo Who hurt you in your life? Why are you such a douche ?
Every SNL member who worked with Farley (Sandler, Spade, Meadows, etc) all really miss him a lot .... just tells what kind of person and friend he was!
I'm not accustomed to Sandler doing serious songs, and while this one was indeed funny, damn ... you could really feel it and for sure you know it was pretty tough for Sandler to hold it together in a lot of places in that song. What a fun remembrance and salute!
that was where it began for them. i'm sure it was tougher than the big tribute he did for netflix. sucks but in a good way. always tough though.
You can hear the cracks in his voice.. he's passionately singing this live.. You never see that... Adam Sandler is the greatest
ik i almost cried watching this
He wasn't sure he could make it through the live performance, but he did and that's a huge kudos to him.
In the goodbyes right afterward, you could Cecily and Kate wiping away tears (from seeing this performance, I assume).
There is this song called Battle Creek by Bent Knee. The singing in that is equally heart wrenching.
Gotta watch the song he sang for David Letterman. Pretty amazing stuff
@@brett-1261 I did cry
The candy line hits hard. Two of my favorite actors ever.
That line his hard for me, not so much because I loved Candy, or Belushi, (I really liked them both though) but more so because of how exactly things played out. JUST like them. Like it was some comic fate.
@@Ki11erKittyCandy died of a heart attack. Not drug use.
@@plawson8577yes BUT he died very prematurely compared to how long many of his contemporaries have lived. Candy was similar to Belushi & Farley in the sense that he indulged in cocaine, alcohol & binge eating as well; he could've had a weakened heart from any of those contributing factors & his family also shared a pattern of heart attacks indicating that it was in his genetics
@@droomzy Candy only experimented with Cocaine in the 70s. When he got married, he quit using drugs. But still smoked and ate a lot.
Candy quit smoking cold turkey while filming Cool Runnings.
Hearing his voice crack in sadness made my eye allergies act up the rest of the song
Looking at how young Adam Sandler lost one of his best friends, it makes sense that he would spend the rest of his life and career working with all his friends in his movies.
2:52 ahh
@Michael Richmond Yes. We know you are.
@Michael Richmond The tribute was not for You.
@Michael Richmond The tribute is for Chris Farley from Adan Sandler. The media allow us to join him (Adam) in spirit to share what he feels.
@Michael Richmond Thanks...
Last summer Sandler randomly walked onto a basketball court we were playing at, asked if he could play, then introduced himself to everyone, said his name was Adam, and shook everyone’s hand. Absolute class act.
thats awsome
Duuuuuude that's sick. -what a surfer would say to that
today on things that never happened
@@Madferit91 No I guarantee it's true lol, this is a super common thing. He loves pick-up basketball and will play at community centers or gyms a lot. Even more wholesome, he is a passer, which is so uncommon for pickup games. He just goes to play and have fun.
Awesome!!!
If you have a friend that loves you this much, you’ve led a good life.
I always like to think Chris wasn’t loved by just his friend and family but by so many in the world. I cannot think of one person who when I say how much I miss Chris Farley they disagree with me.
Chris Farley woulda been 59 this year. He died far, far too young. RIP, Chris Farley, and I'm glad Adam Sandler could do this tribute for him.
“Nothing was harder than saying goodbye
Except watching Chris’ father have his turn to cry”
😭😭😭 damn
You can tell Adam Sandler had a very tough time with the lyric. Props for getting through it.
That part gets me every time, too ☹😯😢😭
Deep lyric but I read that his father was pretty much responsible for his self loathing and addiction.
D)dy
@@anthony452 False.
I have a feeling that THIS is why it took so long for Sandler to host SNL.
when they were rehearsing this before the show, Adam never made it through a full take because every time they showed the backdrop pick of Chris, Sandler would lose it
@b carb ,That's so wrong and old Hollywood.
@b carb he's dr. evil for sure
Yeah, it would be hard to go back. Not only because of Farley but also Phil Hartman.
@b carb Its a bullshit clause, but he's giving the a hell of a push just by casting them on snl. You just sign the devils contract and hope it helps u make it like Sandler, Ferrel, Myers, Murphy...
That group of SNL cast was hands down the best ever. Sandler, Farley, Spade, Rock, McDonald and Rob Snyder. Best ever!!!
They were both in the same the same time as the others. Hartman from 86-94, Meadows 90-2000
No one could ever touch them they dominated that show..
More proof that the 90s was the greatest generation for entertainment. Music, film, and television.
I totally agree! Early 2000s was good as well- we got Will Farrell, Tina Fey and a few others out of it, but the 90s was peak.
The original cast was also great with Dan and John and Gilda and Jane and other regulars! That cast was just as good and memorable to me ~ so much talent it was unbelievable
Remember when Chris Farley made so many people laugh on SNL? That was awesome!
He kept everyone laughing until his last breath. He keeps me and so many others laughing now.
The Chris Farley Show!
I heard that in Farley's voice...😢
he dedicated a whole segment of his huge comeback show all to his dear friend. respect! ✊
Me and my wife seen him in columbus oh and he done this. There wasn't a dry eye in the whole place
Seeing him in a week in Tampa, can't wait.
Andy G he puts on a hell of a show. U will laugh the whole night
Adam is such a good dude. He loves his friends so much and deserves all the success he’s had. I could never hate on this man. He’s always humble too.
@@josephbrenneman109 it makes me so sad when people shit on Adam, nobody could tell me he isn’t hilarious or amazing
Watching this man hold back tears. Thats friendship. Thats love.
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH
Exactly! Btw I didn’t mean to dislike the comment 😂
@5050tankabbot HIS IS SUCH PANDERING. THIS IS TERRIBLE. FARLEY HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 20 YEARS , IT TOOK SANDLER 20 YEARS TO WRITE THIS PIECE OF CRAP? Yeah Adam those who know know Farley's highlight reel. Sander putting it too 3 chord rock isnt that great of a tribute..
@@JohnSmith-yd5wq looks like someone needs a talk from the motivational speaker about anger issues, you'll have plenty of time to be angry when you're living in a van down by the river.
John Smith this is a shortened version of the original song. It’s from his stand up 100% Fresh. He’s got a 3 min guitar riff solo in the middle of the song where he shreds but that’s cut from the SNL performance
There is no way that Chris wasn’t watching this looking down from heaven as Adam sang his heart out. Such a beautiful tribute from one friend to another. You can tell that the bond that Adam Sandler and Chris Farley shared over the years, was something genuinely unique. You can hear it in Adam’s voice.
Adam loved Chris so much. When you have a friend that means that much to you they'll always have a part of your heart forever. What an incredible tribute!
I did not ask to be punched in the feelings this early in the morning
ah, you clicked on it...just like me. ;)
😫😫
More like punched in the nuggets and dildoed in the buttcrack
Just like the tribute, this comment is emotional, beautiful, and funny at the same time. Good job. :,)
Right and there a couple times when he looked at the screen you can tell it hurt.
If anyone deserves a tribute song by Adam Sandler it's Chris Farley.
RIP legend
And thank you Adam
Who wants a tribute from Adam Sandler???
@@johngargano3371 I do :(
@Jennifer Arigo who happened to be one of his best friends.
Yes, Chris Farley brought upon his own demise and there are serious lessons to learn about not living in "the fast lane", and practicing prudence, as well as learning self control. I've had friends who have committed suicide, far too many who have overdosed (it still hurts, sometimes more than if they were to have died of sickness/natural reasons). That being said, yes, dying because of vice isn't the same as an innocent child dying of cancer (I agree with that) but regardless it was a person who died way too young who was loved more than he knew by so many.
So yes, Farley ended up dying directly because of the lifestyle he chose to live. But he was still someone's son, someone's brother, and someone's best friend. No matter the cause a light to so many people was extinguished far too soon. His parents, siblings, and friends have a void where Chris used to be no matter if he brought it on himself.
Well said
@Jennifer Arigo You sanctimonious fuck. And I suppose YOU'RE perfect? Your mind is a pig sty. Hope you reap the filth you sow! 🖕
I can't ever get through this song without crying especially when he gets to the part about his dad
No matter what anyone can say negatively about Sandler, he’s a genuinely good guy who cares deeply for the people in his life
It really feels like after all these years Sandler has never gotten over the death of his friend. And being back on SNL really bought it home to him.
JJ's Life when he and David talk about him you can see the pain and sorrow in their eyes and body language. It’s so sad
I thought the exact same thing.
I don't think it's possible to truly ever get over the death of someone you care about that much.
You never really do
Imagine a world where he survived and he made grownups 3 just like Adam said....... Imagine a world where farley was still here..... Then again its out there in the multiverse
One of the most meaningful moments on SNL ever. Adam Sandler is a totally righteous dude and that was a great tribute to his friend. Beautiful.
This was very cool what he did. Very cool.
He's actually a piece of shit in real life from what people say. But who knows.
@@cwatson42785 from the amount of lifelong friends he has, who he regularly gives even small parts to in his movies, he obviously isn't a piece of shit.
I believe he would've been in all of Adam Sandler's movies. Definitely grown-ups 1 and 2
Definitely! Adam worked hard and now he can afford to fly his friends (Spade, Covert, Swardson) anywhere in the world to make the movies he wants to make, and not care about box office numbers or critics.
He's one of my comedy heroes, and I hope he's just as nice as a person.
If Chris Farley would have been in those grown-up movies as well as three he would have been so freaking funny
You’re right about that!!!!
He sang this in Columbus, OH last week and he teared up singing it still. great song and much respect.
He blasted Lorne. Rocked his monologue. Paid tribute to his bestie. That's as badass as it gets. Well done, Sandler. Well done.
For sure what a broski he is.
Mark Alan Effinger Sandler is one of the celebs I genuinely don’t get how people can dislike. Even if you hate his movies, you can’t deny he’s a good dude.
AyKay right I don't like all his movies but I like him.
@@monamarie1984 Damn girl👋😍
And, Sandler's show was submitted for the Emmy and won. Grand Slam.
Such a great tribute to a great friend. Thanks Adam for not letting Chris disappear. Much Love.
Chris is far too big to disappear (literally *and* metaphorically speaking). But, I know what you're saying and completely agree.
Can Phil Hartman get any love?
Phil Hartman-so funny and missed. Thanks for remembering. I bet they are all having a blast; Gilda, John, Charles (Rocket), Jan Hooks, and all the other missed and loved SNL kids.
Sands the MANds! He really is the definition of Loyalist, just look at his movies and you will see how real his love for his friends really is
Thanks to Adam's tribute, I couldn't help but watch more Footages of Chris; interviews, sketches, and documentaries. OMG! So many things I never knew and for that,Chris, I am sorry. Not only were you funny and handsome, but you were generous of your time and love. You volunteered for causes and your church. You would often pick up a homeless person in your limo and take that person to treatment. You were, and still are, a beautiful man. You still make us laugh. Oh Adam, thank you. Much Love.
There is no doubt in my mind that Adam is as loyal of a friend that anyone could have. Regardless of success or lack thereof I feel that once your his friend you are forever.
R.I.P. Chris Farley & R.I.P. American acting legend Patrick Swayze. “Road house is the greatest movie ever made”.
One of the biggest stars to come out of SNL (no hate from anyone. Not even objectionable. Like him, or not, he's one of the biggest), to come back 24 years later....he could have been "Me! Me! Me!", but no. Instead, he chose to honor the late, great Chris Farley instead.
You can't hate a man that most likely demanded that he include this song during this episode, to pay tribute to not only one of the funniest people ever, but to his greatest friend.
That's a real friend. Man. Human being. Whatever you want to call him. Simply amazing.
Damn i like to hate on adam but this song really changes my mind. What a guy
The fact that he probably demanded to have his tribute included was a great point to make.
People jumped on the "Hate Adam Sandler" Hype Train. Those people obviously never sat in their room running Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and Wedding Singer over and over and over and over and over....
He wouldn't have had to "demand" to play this song - who would object? Thank you Adam, and R.I.P. Chris.
@@bobby_tablez You're really cool for hating on Sandler. Keep up the good fight brother!
In a perfect world, Belushi, Candy, and Farley would have starred in a film together, and it would have been epic.
Movie would be making it rain, RIP to the greatest
And also Farley would star in Grown Ups instead of Kevin James
@@Y2JHHHDX i cannot agree more and it makes me sad
And would've been shrek as well.
@Anton Riley also he would be larry in i pronounce you chuck and larry
You can hear the emotion in his voice. Rip Chris
Chris Farley was the best. I still miss him.
Adam Sandler just made me weep.
Did not see that coming.
Well done, bro.
Party on Wayne
EddieRay VanLynch nice pfp
EddieRay VanLynch he almost got me too, I was close!
That kind of frienship its hard to find this guy almost cries everytime he sings this song
Rewatch Click. That ending had me running rivers.
He said he was crying in the back all night practicing this in the studio and almost broke down singing it here
you can tell, he looks so sad :(
Idk how he was able to hold it together.
That makes it even more poignant. May Chris rest peacefully.
No doubt. Him trying to tear up singing made me tear up a little lol
He had to take a moment there
The smile on Sandlers face when he saw Farleys picture is priceless!!!! The brotherhood is untouchable.
At this point I think it was 25 years since Chris left. What a tribute. Thank you, Adam, for this.
Time just goes by too fast. It don’t feel real
Took a class with Farley at Marquette, dude was constantly cracking jokes, the teacher never knew what to do or say. RIP Chris Farley.
Mario Johnson did he drop out?
Mario Johnson Awesome, Mario!
Amazing! :D
Did he really write Herbie Hancock? Jk love ya Chris
Barry Obama He graduated.
Adam Sandler isnt a poet in the common sense of the word to me. But when he writes lyrics like this one thats based on genuine emotions, he has a way of making you smile, laugh and cry at the same time, which is really really special and unique.
Ummm he rhymed words like a third grader could’ve
Springsteen level lyrics.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
@Eightball 0 - Will do, thanks!
Gunsandrosalina Padtwo
What does he do that you want to see
Gunsandrosalina Padtwo
Calm down stalker, I don’t hate the guy and I love Chris Farley. I simply asked what did he do here, he made some silly rhymes, learn to read spaz.
2:13 RIP Chris and we'll done Adam. Beautiful.
So hard not to cry when you hear this song. Such a bright light in this world. They’re all taken too soon.
4 and a half minutes of the best SNL in decades. Thank you Adam Sandler for this beautiful tribute.
So true!!
Hands down.
Thumbs up if you unexpectedly teared up. "Life aint the same without you boy"
Tommy Boy*
That line absolutely kills me. Life ain’t the same without you boy. So true. Life is never the same when we lose a dear friend.
I unexpectedly cried for a little
are you seriously making this about you and your thumbs up?
I feel like they called him boy because he was like a child. He was sweet and innocent and taken way too soon.
I've heard a dozen times from famous and non-famous people that Adam Sandler is by far the coolest most down to earth friendly celebrity. I think this tribute to his friend backs that up.
This was the very first song I listened to in my brand new Camry at the very end of 2018. And now it's 2024 and Ive got about 6 more months before I pay it off and I'm driving down the road loving this song just as much as the first time I heard it.
'Nothing was harder then saying goodbye, sept watching Chris's father have his turn to cry'
His Dad and brother look so much like him. Need more of his bro in pictures
That line always tears me up
@Sam so let me ask you this. If you refused to help a family member cause of XYZ and then they died, you still gonna be a hard ass and refuse to acknowledge their death or you gonna realize you made a mistake that you can never take back? Just curious.
That lyric hurts our hearts. 🥺♥️
I agree with you all the way read my comment you will see 👀. I cried like a kid watching this.
Sandler, Spade, Rock, Schneider, and Farley. They were like the Rat Pack of early 90s SNL. Band of Brothers.
Tim Meadows too
And Norm
Don't forget about Phil Hartman. Compare that cast of jokesters to the current cast of jokes.
The funny thing is, at the time this group on SNL were being criticized for not being funny and low ratings. Their comedy was truly ahead of its’ time, people are only realizing it these last 5-10 years.
Gen X Genius 4ever!
Used to not like Sandler in his early years because he was kinda goofy. Now I love his characters and he's a favorite of mine. A class act indeed.
Man, he had to have done this song a ton of times before this and broke down crying in the middle of it. How could he not? That was real good Adam, thank you.
Is that why David spade in grown-ups says "sorry funerals make me wierd"
You are very perceptive... That's exactly why.
Yeah David Spade didn't go to Farley's funeral. I get it, it's just too much to handle.
@@Allagi22 a lot of people are like that. They'd rather only remember their loved one alive. I don't blame them. I feel the same way but personally I have to go so I can actually believe they're gone otherwise it's unbelievable for me. 🥺 But I don't judge or think negatively about people who choose to not attended. Everyone deals with death and grief differently.
He talks about it on Stern saying he couldn't just see Chris in a fucking Pine Box.
Bra... I just got that.
We should be lucky to have friends that talk about us 20 years after our passing.
Thats a beautiful way to tribute a friend. Friends take note. Nice job Adam
Imagine being such a special person that your friend is writing songs about you and people still really miss you over 20 years later.
Is that what takes to be special
Amen to that👍

I love how he referenced Spade in his song. Adam had told Conan O Brien that while he was close to Chris, it didn't compare to Spade's friendship with him. It devastated him to the point that he didn't attend the funeral.
I remember Spade saying in an interview he could not bear to go into a room with his friend in a box.
I don't get funerals anyway. What's the point of "saying goodbye" or however people want to put it, in the same room as the body compared to anywhere else?
@@BaldMancTwat as someone who grew up in and worked in the funeral industry I have a couple thoughts. 1) Tradition, that's how we do it. 2)Some people need to see the deceased for them to accept it. 3)Everyone grieves differently.
@@BaldMancTwat I dont get why people would want to see the body of a loved one after his death. I made this mistake when my brother died at 40 and saw him to say goodbye (I was 25). I regret it until this day, 15 years later. The last image I have of my brother is a lifeless body who doesnt even look like him and I try everything to forget that image. but yeah well, some people need this, I strongly advise anyone not to do it and keep an image of a loved one in mind when he/she was still alive. I still remember going into that room and there was this nice dressed corpse lying there and I was like "wtf? who is this dead stranger?" then it hit me and its burned into my memory forever.
@@bepowerification my mom died of colon cancer 6 years ago. I'm an only child and she never wanted kids. She loved me as much as she knew how to and never asked for me towards the end. But I was forced to come out. I'd had a good goodbye with her a couple of months prior (we lived 1200 miles away from each other). I was content with it and respected it if she was too. She always kept me at arm's length until the end. It's hard to say how I'd feel if I hadn't been there when she died. But at no point did I feel welcome or that I should be there.
I'm sorry you have that image and feeling burned into your head because I know how it feels. Sometimes seeing them when they are still themselves is the best for all involved.
What a perfect example of friendship that never dies, even when you are apart...nicely done, Adam!!
Agreed!!!
what a song....what a friend...
This moment has got to be one of the best tributes that could’ve ever been seen in recent years of television. Great to see that Sandler and Chris always had incredible chemistry on and off set, his life was taken way to soon ahead of his time. R.I.P Chris Farley
He played this song in his special. The crowd went nuts. I heard the crowd in Milwaukee went insane when he sang this also.
You mean his life was given way too soon. What a tragedy.
His life was not taken before his time, Chris was incredibly funny and there’s no doubt about that, but the man had a lot of problems and used drugs to cope, it was just a matter of time before he ended up dying.
He was awesome!
I've watched SNL all my life and have been in tears from laughter, but never from sadness, until this tribute. Well done Adam.
same here! so moving! love Adam
C.A. Huddleston ditto for me - Truly a beautiful moment!
Same here, cried when I heard about Belushi even way back then. My favorite Farley was his movie interviews with the stars. To funny. That part was cool.
@b carb can you folks watch anything without turning into politics how you hate trump? Seriously sickening. TDS please see a shrink.
Wow, just wow!
I'm watching this through tears all while wearing my Callahan Auto Parts (Sandusky, OH) T-Shirt. What a comic genius Chris Farley was. Another star who burned hot and bright and went way too soon. God rest his soul.
Damn, that hit hard.
What an incredible group of guys that must be
Wish that dude had pulled through his troubles...he is truly missed
One issue was his weight. I know a doctor that would've scared his ass silly into losing it.
Thank you for that info. Very insightful. We had no idea.
(Sarcasm font)
Some said he would've died even giving every terrible thing up... he just had such an enormous heartrate and just normal physical condition. But hey, we love him no matter what.
This song always brings several tears to my eyes. Saw Sandler couple nights ago and he closed with this song. It was legendary. 25 yrs later and we still miss Chris so much. RIP legend
Every time I struggle with SI or planning I come here and listen to this song. I know it’s exactly how my family would feel and I can’t accept that. I cry so hard. Watching Chris Farley as a kid was the first time I laughed uncontrollably (the coffee skit especially). I leave here again in tears but glad I won’t go through with anything
Stay strong. Whatever helps you make it through. You are loved and needed. Besides your family and friends, you never know who you may be touching in your daily life or by posting a comment online. Hang in there
@@chrishand259 thank you man that means a lot actually.
Much love to you ❤❤❤ we need you here
Stay strong we have been there I
Keep on keeping on. You have no idea how important you are.
was i alone in thinking this is the best ending to any SNL
show ever?
Definitely not alone.
I just watched this on Hulu. Hadn't heard a thing about it and I often skip it after Weekend Update. So glad I watched till the end.
"we'd tell him slow down, you'll end up like Belushi and Candy, he said "those guys are my heroes, thats all fine and dandy"
that line really made me cry...RIP Chris. We miss you.
Serge Shaakov that was when my damn broke, and I broke
😭😭😭😭😭
But at least those guys made good films, not Farley, sadly.
Miss all 3
@@sha11235 shut your fuckin face millennial
I’ve lost my brother and dad 2 years ago and it still feels like it was yesterday. I bet even after 20 plus years it still feels that way for him. It doesn’t get easier you just sorta get use to it
It's so sad that no one helped Chris just laughed at him. May he continue to rest in peace.
They did try to help him though (Sandler and Spade did anyways) Unfortunately Chris Farley was just destined to die young, just like with John Belushi.
@@ludwigfan3013 i suppose so. May he continue to rest in peace.
You cant help an addict that doesn't want to stop!
@@mrabrasive51 true if it is the case he didn't want to stop.
When his voice cracked like he was trying to hold back tears that hit me, I started crying.
And it’s worse cause I already watched it in his special, honestly I don’t know what I expected.
Same here. That was hard for him to get through without crying. Just like how he couldn't resist laughing when he would work with Chris. 💔😭
That_Goth_bitch EXACTLY!’n
Me too
Me too
It probably hit him twice as hard since he was singing it on the same stage they had shared for so many years. Nicely done Adam.
TWENTY TWO YEARS LATER and his friends still praise him and talk about him non-stop. I only ever hear the most awesome shit about Chris.
Yup.
Yup like Vin Diesel to Paul Walker
Lots of respect for Adam Sandler for creating this beautiful homage. Chris Farley will always be missed by fans and family. He was much too young to go.
At the beginning, when Farley’s face appears on screen.....Sandler can’t help but get a genuine smile. That’s Love for a true friend.
A candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.... RIP Chris.
Jesse Moore; Damn, Well Said❤😢
Wow
And what a lovely light it made.
Cobain, Foster Wallace, Hendrix, Stevie Ray, and Van Gogh just to name a few.
I like that
You can tell when he says " We flew out to Madison to bury our friend" he starts tearing up and his voice trembles. He was close to breaking down.
totally
@@jondunmore4268 I mean not breaking down but you can tell he was trying not to cry
@@hotwetsoup3565 yeah his voice trembles multiple times and choking up. He also force himself to make a smiled face to no to cry (make smile can trick your brain temporarily not to cry). I miss him So much too
theres always certain memories we can rewind back to vividly he refers to seein Chris father cry Chris Farleys main mission Hollywood shit aside wuz makin his father proud
I didn't catch it,
Miss Farley so much. Definitely a once in a lifetime talent 😢. After 25+ years if you're still loved and remembered then you're a legend. I hope he's having a laugh in heaven with the angels ❤️
24 years today. I didn’t know he died until I heard the tribute while trying to find skits of him on snl. I am 17 and Chris Farley is my favorite. RIP Chris Farley you will always be remembered😭😢 I forgot for a long time to make my 25 year tribute comment. RIP Chris Farley still my favorite comic to this day.
This goes on a very short list of songs that can never be covered by anyone else. Amazing song for an amazing comic.
Unless Spade could sing
Why would anyone cover a song about a fat friend of his?
Completely agree. Makes me freaking cry everytime too.
Truth.
this isn't a song, its a tribute. yeah, so no one can perform a tribute like this unless its Sandler. its absolutely from his heart, no one can represent it like he does.
Last thing I expected from an SNL segment was to be holding back tears. And from a song by FREAKING ADAM SANDLER no less😢
Don't hold back.
Very sweet tribute to Chris Farley.
I've never cried about a celebrity passing away but I bawled my eyes out when Chris Farley did.
And this song still makes me cry
When Heath Ledger died I mourned with his parents when we found out
Me too and same with Robin Williams
This may be dumb, but Chris Farley made me want to be an actor. I made my poor parents watch Tommy Boy and Black Sheep countless times. I was crushed when he died. I felt like my acting dream died a little with him too.
The people who disliked this need to have their van pushed into the river.
They probably just didn’t want to have water put in their eyes. You can’t listen to this without crying.
thats great
I wish they'd shut their big YAAAAPPERS!!!.
Lmfao @Randy...
Fkn mint 👌
Underrated comment.. Deserves more likes...👍
FACTS
The genuine and heartfelt sincerity of both the lyrics and Sandler's delivery really only further proves that when so many of the guys and gals from their generation of SNL talk of how much they absolutely loved Chris... they all really, really mean it. Thank you to Adam for this incredible tribute to my personal favorite of all time, Chris Farley.
