ISBN 13: 9781616804589 I loved this book because it brings Chris back for me and will do that for anyone who reads it. Chris Farley couldn't seem to emerge from the shadow of either his father or the Catholic church. It's that captivating. Showing For him, comedy was not a routine; it was a way of life. One of the back cover quotes says something to the effect of "when we see a public figure struggling with addiction, we often wonder why no one helped them. The book is layed out like a script for a movie or a TV show with speakers such as Norm MacDonald, David Spade, Tim Meadows, Adam Sandler, Farley's brothers and even a speech from the man himself that he gave at a rehab facility while he was sober. He got dicked around with having to make a movie for Paramount I believe and essentially making a sequel to Tommy Boy Black Sheep copies the same formula, storyline as Tommy Boy basically.

If nothing else, finding out that there really was a Matt Foley in Farley's life who is a priest is just one of the many interesting stories and people that are presented within the pages of the book. He was truly a great loss to comedy and the world in general.

  • 275. – Part One
    275. – PART ONE 275. Clifford (1994) Okay, here’s the deal: I don’t know you, you don’t know me, but if you are anywhere near a television right now I need you to stop whatever it is that you’re doing and go watch “Clifford” on HBO Max. This is another film that has a 10% score on Rotten Tomatoes which just leads me to believe that all of the critics who were popular in the nineties didn’t have a single shred of humor in any of their non-existent funny bones. I loved this movie when I was seven, and I love it even more when I’m thirty-three. It’s genius. Martin Short (who at the time was forty-four) plays a ten-year-old hyperactive nightmare child from hell. I mean it, this kid might actually be the devil. He is straight up evil, conniving, manipulative and all-told probably causes no less than ten million dollars-worth of property damage. And, again, the plot is so simple – he just wants to go to Dinosaur World. There are so many comedy films with such complicated plots and motivations for their characters, but the simplistic genius of “Clifford” is just this – all this kid wants on the entire planet is to go to Dinosaur World. That’s it. The movie starts with him and his parents on an plane to Hawaii for a business trip, and Clifford knows that Dinosaur Land is in Los Angeles, therefore he causes so much of a ruckus that the plane has to make an emergency landing.

Good read despite an unwelcome left turn.By Pen NameThis was a funny and casually well-written book, a good read But it's a little frustrating because it abandons the "narrative," if you will, without finishing it. The first 2/3 of the book deal with Spade's upbringing, his grind through the comedy club scene, and his slow climb from SNL writer to SNL performer. Even though it's written with a light touch, that stuff is all pretty compelling. But it drops that thread after he's made it as an SNL cast member. It doesn't tell the story of what prompted him to leave SNL, or his movie career (except for Tommy Boy), or his experience on sitcoms. Instead, the last 1/3 of the book morphs into more of a George Carlin "Brain Droppings" type thing -- little observational essays on miscellaneous topics ranging from doing cocaine to his thoughts on dating tricks that women pull. I would have been really interested to hear why he made the jump from SNL when he did (given how hard his climb there was) and whether he's happy or not with his sitcom and movie work.
