No. He made one classic Movie Tommy boy and otherwise faded away too quick.

Super funny guy. Some of the bad movies he was in didn't do him justice. By all accounts, he would have been a great guy to meet.

One of the greatest comedians ever? No way, not enough depth in his routine. RIP.

Not even close ... Tubby was more annoying than funny.

I didn't think he was that funny at all.

No, no, and fuggin' no. You actually moved up the list yourself by simply proposing that thought.

Does he have much of a body of work? One good movie and a bunch of shitty ones, a couple good SNL sketches.......not exactly Norm McDonald where you can spend all day watching him on YouTube .....Farley doesn't get you past the hour...

Absolutely hilarious and a shame he was so insecure about his weight that he used drugs and alcohol to cope. The documentary you watched and the biography about him were both outstanding.
