Part of Farley's genius is that as out of breath as he was cuz he was out of shape, obviously, he knew how to use it to his comedic advantage. To me that's a huge talent and a testament as to his greatness. Rest in peace, man. You sure as hell are missed.
"'twas the night before Christmas and all through the van Your old buddy Matt fell asleep on the can. His children amiss, two time zones away with his first wife and her husband in sunny LA. Matt woke up and realized with a chill and a quiver that he was living in a van down by the river."
I actually, REMEMBER, watching that live,.... I had seen the Matt Foley skits before.... and as SOON as he said, I awoke with a quiver, I BURST out laughing!! I KNEW he’d follow it up with living down by the river.... I ❤️Chris Farley!🇨🇦🇨🇦
I'm not really sure what's more priceless; The skit itself or the fact that Chris Farley got to yell "Shut your cakehole!" to multiple Oscar-winning actress Sally Field
Could not agree with you more. Especially Hartman probably the most underrated cast member ever on SNL. I'm still shocked that news radio wasn't more popular than it was because that cast and especially Hartman was just genius.
Even the newest generation of kids think he is hilarious. This is not common as generational drift usually occurs. He helped me through my depression many times.
I know the real Matt Foley. Father Matt, actually. They met in college and were friends till Chris' passing. Two very different men stayed best friends through it all. ❤🙏🏼
Probably bc to a kid he is almost borderline scary. Imagine a giant fat dude five times your size screaming in your face, I'd be a bit nervous even if someone had reassured me beforehand it was a comedy bit.
@ Vinicius you'd lose that bet ole buddy...Him being found dead after 18+ hours in a pool of his own vomit after having O'D on drugs,booze and physical exertion of having an orgy with a prostitute wasn't going to get him through the Pearly Gates of heaven... No the place he went too started with a "H" all right but instead of ending with an "N" it ended with a Double "L"....
Twas the night before Christmas and although the van, your old buddy Matt fell asleep on the can. His children were nestled two time zones away with his first wife and her husband in sunny LA. Matt woke up and realized with a chill and a quiver that he was livin' in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!.
2:50: It's Rudolf the Elf LOL. It has always killed me the way David Spade gets up with that serious look on his face, like he's going to deal with the situation, dressed in that ridiculous elf costume.
@@Scorhos Phil Hartman played the store manager in this sketch. He was an amazing comic actor and voice on the Simpsons. He died a sad tragic death. Look him up.
OMFG!!!! Chris Farley was truly a comedy genius, in the mold of other greats like John Belushi and John Candy!! All of them sorely missed but always loved by their fans. RIP guys!!!!
I remember seeing this when it first aired and I died when he said "Well, that's no problemo. Just send the bill to Matt Foley care of VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!" 😆
Both Phil and Chris gone way too soon....such unbelievable comedy talent. When I saw Sandler in concert recently he sang a song he wrote about Farley that was so touching it made me cry. Keep the ones you love in your heart, always.
The kid in the red hat was trying so hard not to laugh and it looks like Chris saw that and gave him that little shake like he was trying to get the kid to crack. The kid held it together like a champ.
Whoopty freakim doo! An extension of la dee frickin da! It wouldn't be a Matt Foley skit without him crashing your breaking into something so I loved it when it came crashing down the chimney. He rode a stationary exercise bike through a wall, fell through family homes window and busted up some Mexican hacienda pretending to be a bullfighter. One of the best recurring skits ever on SNL. We miss you so much Chris. Thanks for all your Joe you brought to us and laughter. R i p.
Anything with Matt Forly is awesome BECAUSE HE LIVES IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA LMFAO RIP Chris Farley. #SNL #Christmas
Phil never breaks character. I don’t even think he was capable of doing that. He was that good. He and Farley were some of the best to ever do it in my generation. Wish they were both still with us here today. ❤️
He broke character every so briefly as Bill Clinton gorging on McDonalds burgers in a 1992 skit. Phil really did bite off ore than he could chew and choked for just a second, and laughed at it.
@@kaio7671 Yeah, MAtt Foley is one of the greatest skits ever. There was also a skit from 1992 with some guy who was a very homosexual self-healer who was corrupt. I forget his name, but he was hilarious! He said "Everybody should get together in the world and collect money...and give it to me!", but I just haven't seen it in over 30 years on SNL.
It's hard to watch Chris Farley sketches sometimes while knowing what he was going through and how he would end up, all the while lamenting such a great comedic talent while contemplating where he'd be now, all the movies he would have made with Sandler and Spade, his return to SNL years later and reprising these still great characters.

Yes, in fact Chris Farley encapsulated the whole idea of comedy; for people to look at themselves and life and not take it all too seriously.
Cocaine. Also cocaine.
He didn't hold back none,That was all him and that's why he was so good.
He was fat but surprisingly athletic
He was a master of delivery. He could take material that wasn't that funny on its own and make it gut busting hysterical with his insane delivery.
"'twas the night before Christmas

Not alone
Such beautiful poetry!
His children nestled *
The poem was my favorite part too 😂😂😂
Every now and again someone like Farley is sent to earth to remind all of us that laughter is healthy and should take precedent in all our lives.
Amen
And then those people are taken from us way too soon 😢
aint that the damn truth needing stuff like this lately lol
I'm not really sure what's more priceless; The skit itself or the fact that Chris Farley got to yell "Shut your cakehole!" to multiple Oscar-winning actress Sally Field
I'm going with the cake-hole thing for sure...
I bet she could barely keep from laughing
Chris Hestand I was thinking exactly the same thing as you! Apparently she has a great sense of humour, so it was probably a hoot for her, too.
lol
She was on, Smokey and the Bandit.
Man Phil Hartman and Chris Farley. Two of the funniest people ever both of “WHOSE” lives ended too soon. ☹️ Rest In Peace both of you
"WHOSE" lives
Whose lives matter

Could not agree with you more. Especially Hartman probably the most underrated cast member ever on SNL. I'm still shocked that news radio wasn't more popular than it was because that cast and especially Hartman was just genius.
Yes and I remember their deaths were about 6 months apart
Chris, how we miss you....
One of the legends.
Amen!
Truly one of a kind
He cannot hear you. Chris is dead
@@matthewrichards9578 Actually, he's living in a van down by the river!
if they had made a movie based off this character it would have been a huge hit. such a shame tho Chris Farley left this world way too soon.
He was Nd still is my all time favorite comedian.

I was just saying the same thing he was brilliant!

It probably would have saved the SNL movie genre
Very funny sketch! R.I.P. Phil Hartman and Chris Farley.

This is the best one imo
Love Elf David Spade casually watching in the background. 🤣
I love how at 0:06 Rudolph the elf aka David Spade was moving along with the kids chanting for Santa it's so cute and sweet 😂💕
This skit hasn't aged at all. It's just as funny today.
Except malls are that big deal anymore.

It is too funny!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

This is the best Matt Foley sketch in my opinion. The first one with Christina Applegate is more iconic but this one is funnier.

@aaron Stark understand that. But that's not how farley spoke it
Two legends, both gone too soon.
At least he's in a van down by the river in heaven...
These kids are amazing actors, Not one is breaking.
Probably bc to a kid he is almost borderline scary. Imagine a giant fat dude five times your size screaming in your face, I'd be a bit nervous even if someone had reassured me beforehand it was a comedy bit.
The kid on Chris' right, the one he had his arm around looked like he was able to laugh several times, but caught himself
@@benrig89 Lol!! Good point!😂
When I was 11 years old around 1997, we used to watch all kinds of Chris Farley skits, and would get uncontrollable fits of laughter.
Chris - your personality and comedy is timeless, and just as relevant today in 2020. Thanks for the laughs. We need them more today than ever.

I love the kid in the blue jacket laughing his ass off after Farley picks him up and screams at him.😂
Whenever I see Chris Farley skits or movies. I do laugh but cry a little.
I’ll say this, Chris Farley and David spade are one of my top 3 best celebrity duo in movies, they are just incredible. May mr. Farley rest in peace
Who are the other two?
@@1hitk.owarrior248 I like Dan Ackroyd and Chevy Chase too, then there was Eugene Levy and John Candy
Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon easily #1 duo. Not close.
that kid almost lost it when he got in his face lol
He too did a good job tho. He will remember that for the rst of his life.
Chris and Phil, two legends that left this world too early. Such rare talent.
Who's Phil?
I totally agree one murdered one basically murdered himself too fellas
Phil was amazing.

Anyone notice that adult lady standing in back of the kids? I loved it how she had a look of pure terror as Matt was going off! Lmao!

We have a buffoon (Biden) but he’s missing the lovable and funny elements. Ina vaaaan down by the White House!

He must have been exhausted after doing sketches like these.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug

Yeah, funny but very sad at the same time. Very sad.
When Chris Farley pick up the kid he started laughing that kid couldn't take his comedy. 😂😂😂😂😂

There were several spinoffs of the original Matt Foley skit and this one is the best imo. It's strange to see David Spade in a skit with no lines
