Can We Talk About Chris Farley? (1 Viewer)

Would you guys put him in the top 5 fat guy comics, or maybe the Mount Rushmore? There have been a lot of great comics that were large, I don't know if he makes it.

He'd be #1 in mine.

Curly from the 3 stooges is probably the Godfather of fat comedy.

I wish that Farley had lived long enough to see where he fit in. He's the same as Belushi for me. Here in Chicago those two are legends but I don't know how they are perceived elsewhere. They shone too bright and burned out too soon..
