Chrisfarley1If you thought last week's post about the upcoming Chris Farley biography bummed you out, grab the Zoloft, because today's Daily News has more from the book. This time
there are quotes from Bob Odenkirk, Lorne Michaels, Norm MacDonald, and Chris Rock:

Chris Rock blames Farley's undoing on his deep-seated need for approval.
"'Chippendales' was a weird sketch. I always hated it," says Rock, "The
joke of it is, basically, 'We can't hire you because you're fat.'
There's no comic twist to it. It's just [bleep]ing mean. A more
mentally together Chris Farley wouldn't have done it, but Chris wanted
so much to be liked. As funny as that sketch was … it's one of the
things that killed him."

Wow, and I've been laughing at that sketch for 15 years. Congratulations, me, you're an asshole.

After the jump you can turn that frown upside down by watching the classic Herlihy Boy House Sitting Service sketch with Farley and Adam Sandler.

I hate the Chippendale's sketch not funny at all. Its for people who like to watch people suffer. I don't see the humor in watching someone whos dangerously overweight do tricks for the camera.
