David Spade is an actor, comedian, and writer known for his sharp wit and sarcastic humor. He first gained fame as a cast member on SNL from 1990 to 1996, where he developed a signature style of delivering cutting one-liners. He has also appeared in numerous television shows and films, including "Just Shoot Me", “The Emperors New Groove”. “8 Simple Rules” and "Joe Dirt."
Chris Farley was a larger-than-life comedian known for his physical comedy and boisterous personality. He also rose to prominence as a cast member on SNL in the early 1990s, where he became known for his over-the-top characters and impressions. After leaving the cast of SNL, Farley went on to appear in several films including “Airheads”, “Almost Heroes”, and “Beverly Hills Ninja”.
Spade and Farley got to be very close during their time on SNL and went on to collaborate on several films together, including "Tommy Boy" and "Black Sheep." They had a unique on-screen chemistry that was built on their contrasting personalities, with Spade often playing the straight man to Farley's larger-than-life antics. Their friendship offscreen was also well known, and they were often seen joking around and causing mischief together. Tragically, Farley passed away of a drug overdose in 1997 at the age of 33, which was a devastating loss for Spade and the entire comedy community.
While Spade and Farley had a great deal of respect for each other and maintained a decades-long friendship, they didn’t always see eye to eye. In fact, throughout their friendship, they often ended up feuding with each other, especially during their time working together in their various film collaborations.
After Farley died, Spade decided to not attend his funeral. This move came as a shock to fans of both comedians. Join Facts Verse as we reveal why David Spade seemingly snubbed his old SNL pal while also discussing some of the two stars' most heated disagreements.

False title. 👎
Name dropping
I miss him and John Candy and of course Robin Williams
The reason he didn't go is because isn't dead. He faked his death and now he is living as his coincidental twin brother
Amen
Us too! These are the legends. May they all find peace 😭
All great comedians
Don't forget about John Pinette also......another large guy with an even larger comedic talent. 😢😂
Fun fact: Chris Farley was supposed to voice Shrek back in the 90's.
Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing this info. May Chris find peace. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
One of most hilarious comedy duos ever. They were comedic genius together. I miss Chri Farley.
🕊️🙏❤️
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
David was from the valley in Arizona and I remember a local DJ said he talked to Daves mom to see how he was doing right after the news of Chris' death and he said, she told him, He's very broken up and is just staying in his room trying to deal with this, and knowing him probably will stay in his room for some time, this was a huge loss for him. I just remember thinking how sad it must be for him to be so upset that he couldn't come out of his room..
and he even missed Farley's funeral...
@@noahfitzwilliam5836 Yeah as his mother said, he stayed in his room for quite some time.. Not going to the funeral, he just couldn't deal in the moment. I didn't go to my best friends funeral either.. In the moment you react the way you react. I regret it at times but I don't have those horrible memories of the funeral just the good memories of our time together so I think thats why my heart and mind reacted the way it did, probable same for David.
@@noahfitzwilliam5836I missed my best friends funeral because how he decided to end his days .. it happens .. maybe one day you’ll love someone that much
I remember Spade talking about this long ago, he said he can't imagine his friend laying in a casket
I can’t imagine what David was feeling, however, I wish it was different that he did attend his funeral
There will never be another Farley! He was Charlie Chaplin, John Candy, all 3 Stooges, and a host of other greats ALL IN ONE! His goofy antics will never get old!
"That's one small step for man.......
I HAVE A DREAM!"😆😆😆 And you know what kills me the most about him being gone, I'll never get to meet the Goat of comedy! 😢
I was on my way to work when I found out about Farley's passing. So sad. He was crazy-talented.
I was on my way to school.
@@nocturnalrecluse1216I didn't find out until i got home from school. I was shocked.
I love the fat guy in little coat routine. That always cheered me up when id felt sad.😊
It seems that Farley & Spade got so close they became like brothers. Brothers sometimes fight.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
Just like Belushi and Aykroyd
i didn't know "fat guy in a little coat" was a regular shtick for him to annoy Spade.
Glad to know that you discovered something new about these two great actors. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Spade said Farley would pitch it on a regular basis, they worked as a writing team.
I loved Farley funny as hell but in some emotional pain that drove him to the end. I can relate but I made it out. Rip my friend 😊
So true, may Chris Farley find peace. he will be missed.
It was a sad day on this planet when he passed
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse something similar to this one but about John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.
It's been a Quarter Century since Chris Farley Died" Dude.... don't say shit like that... you just gave me a massive amount of internal dread lol
Thank you for sharing
🤗🇺🇲🙏
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I AM THE SAME I JUST REMEMBER THE MEMORIES OF LIFE LOVE AND LAUGHTER NOT SEEING MY BELOVED LAYING IN A CASKET TOO MUCH CLOSURE TOO SOON MEMORIES HELPS MY EMOTIONS GROW STRONGER AS TIME PASSES 🙏💝😇🦋💎🌈💫💯
I wouldve went to the funeral anyway.
Ya gotta show respect
And love. Thats how i was raised.
People deal with things differently and seeing someone you knew not breathing anymore is a lot to process
Btw the "Flight of Stairs" he pushed David Spade down, was 4 Steps lol.
I would love to see this video clip at 4:20.i wonder where that was and if i can find the full video on the internet?
I recall “Black Sheep” being very popular during its theatrical run. They say, however, Chris Farley had to be convinced to make the film because he really didn’t like the screenplay immediately after reading it.
Spade said Farley wasn’t feeling well when he went out for drinks with Lowe. Not himself
Yes that's the way David tells it in every interview.
❤❤❤omg, Chris will forever be missed. I watch Tommy boy on repeat. It’s one of my favorites. 👍🏻💕😁
Thank you so much for your message to Chris. May he find peace 💗
I understand how he felt
I didnt go to the funeral of my best friend of almost 30 years and have regretted it ever since, but I couldnt do it. With my son with me no less, we went to the memorial, but I couldnt handle it alone. I know David and Chris were close too, it makes me feel better about being weak like that then.
I didn't go to the funeral of a friends brother I knew for my whole life but I couldn't bring myself to do it. The thought of someone you know that well dying was too much. It's really terrifying, and I'm a grown man. Don't feel too bad but understand that you can grow and become stronger.
@@ogfit5448 I dont have a lot of friends lol. My opportunity to improve will be limited. I get what you are saying though. I am 40 now.....its about that time in my life where people start dying around me.
@tommywolfe2706 Good part is that your friend didn't know it. They lived with memories of you being there.
I've lost 43 of my classmates and 5 ex girlfriend's over the years. I never went to the funeral or visited there graves that's not the final memory of them i want .
it]s not about memories it[s about RESPECT! Smdh@@Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654
Threw him down a flight of stairs??? Farley was insane...
I was most surprised by the fact your version of the story is flipped from David Spade's telling (Farley said he was sick, Spade hung out with Rob Lowe and Farley was grumped about it the next day.)
I was going to mention that lol
Farley and his family went to Queen of Peace Church in Madison as did mine. Met him once or twice. No complaints.
Missing funerals are acceptable.. the body in the box won't miss you.. i wish i learned that a couple funerals beforehand. Attend to the living, where it's actually productive. Being around a bunch of fake ish while you're mourning for real is exhausting.
Funerals are for the living . If David had his reasons for not going and that’s enough
Oh, yeah. Those two were the PERFECT pair. 'God bless the dearly departed, precious soul of one of the funniest men I have ever seen or heard in decades and long may his legacy live on in our hearts and memories forever!'
Tommy Boy & Black Sheep are classics
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Now I wanna watch Beverly Hills Ninja
Not a bit of that was surprising, and completely understood. And friends that close can fight like cats and dogs but still be closer than close.
I think I heard your voice on another channel?
Another Tragedy 🎭 in the Entertainment Business. 😢 I would have loved to see them work together on a 3rd film. Chris was as talented as ANYONE at physical comedy and timing! He just had too many issues to keep it together. ☹️ A very familiar and very sad tale in Hollywood. 😢 Chris, John B, John C…we miss them ALL!
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Robin wiolliams
David didn't like that Chris's girlfriend went out with one of The Yankees and they had different favorite little Rascals. Davids favorite little Rascal was Spanky!!
I loved the movie “Black Sheep!
I think the most surprisingly thing was how upset he got be himd him being with someone else.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
03:57 Uhhh...that's NOT Chris Farley, that's Artie Lange. I don't think Farley was in 'Dirty Work' at all.
yes he was. bar scene
I thought the show Mum was funnier when Anna left the rest of the cast was very funny when they got more screen time and their story lines got much more interesting,and yes I agree shame they didn't wind the show up with a final season so us viewers could see our favorite cast members story line finish not just end dead stop.But when did studio bosses ever care about the loyal VIEWER who made the show popular ,I'm still watching Re runs here in Adelaide at 9.30pm couple a nights a week
See, you can do the right thing. This is a sad story but it's a good one and you need to keep this sort of thing in mind. Obviously and thankfully this is neither salacious nor prurient in nature. Stay the course and I think you'll have a bigger following than ever. Always remember that it is important to Enlighten people not to bring them down to the base level. Our baser instincts are not good and they should not be catered to under any circumstances. They need to be buried. We should always strive for the high ideal not for the low bass sexual material which debases all of us when it's outside of a proper context of a decent and loving marriage. Stay away from all that stuff. More like this and some of the other ones that I've given you praise for and I think you owe do well in terms of getting more people to ring that Bell.
That’s understandable, yet sad. Had David attended the funeral, the speeches would be too much for him. You can see how close he was with Chris. 😔
I can understand if david spade could not handle seeing his best friend in a coffin. It was no disrespect to chris farley and his family. But if there was a memorial for him, He should have at least showed up there. I hope he did for his friend.
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
I enjoy his films Beverly Hills ninja my absolute favorite of him I do wish he was around
Us too! Thank you for bringing back memories. What other types of video would you like to see?
They spent decades together?!
Some say Farley is still alive, and he is ...... LIVING IN A VAN!! DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!!!!!
Joe Dirt woulda showed
How can you make your friends death about you? You gotta be the worlds biggest scumbag!
Hello William Shatner!
Well, actually he claimed he was contractually obligated to show up somewhere….
Still, he could’ve popped in to show his respects, then popped back out to whatever he was doing….
@@robertdragoff6909 I've been on his bed as he slept as Abraham Lincoln. I am a walk-in.
@@robertdragoff6909 You want to haunt William? tell him you know the real 1st space traveler- MJ-12.
@@robertdragoff6909 ask William what Lincoln told him, when he woke up and found Lincoln sitting on his bed.
I don't remember Chris Farley being in the movie dirty work
Short cameo character. He married the Saigon whore
David Spade’s life would look much different today if Chris were still here. Imagine Jordan died 4 years into him and Pippen duo
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and enjoy the rest of your evening!
Would he have been lost in Farley's shadow?
I think it's possible he would have taken the back seat often and could have missed out on some of his lead roles.
Makes me wonder if David Spade didn't attend Chris Farley's funeral but did he at least visit Chris Farley's grave?
I have a friend (best friend of 30 years) whose grave I have not been to yet. He is not there anymore. Well, his corpse is, but not his soul. It cant hear me or acknowledge my presence. He is very much alive in my head though....for not being able to be here anymore, too much, I miss the guy and it just hurts. I am afraid I would have a heart attack visiting his grave.
I guess people see "paying respects" in different ways.
Edit: *HAD* a friend.
I get not attending or visiting the grave. Everyone deals with thing differently.
Exactly.@@tommywolfe2706
I am a huge fan of both, but your best friend dies it's your duty to be at his/her funeral. Sounds like a copout to me.
I loved black sheep! I don’t care what anyone says
My IQ is 143, I was born in 1987 and I believe that it was about 1998 that David spade stated that Chris Farley tried to Tase him, I think that David Spade ultimately was completely jealous of Chris Farley!
Chris Farley did not try to tase David Spade. Davis’s assistant “Skippy” tased, and intended to kill David for not putting him in Joe Dirt. Everything in this article is from David Spades book “Almost Interesting”.
People that flaunt their IQ are morons.
I believe so too. That's a cop out to why Spade didn't attend Chris's funeral. If you care about someone that much you'll do anything to be there for that
Nobody does good at funeral you shove to show up 💯
rip chris!
I reject the theory that the best comedians have to be loud obnoxious and 80 pounds over weight. I honestly don't believe I ever laughed once at anything Chris Farley or Jack black ever did.
You have no soul then.
Farley was Funny!
Lol, that's such a lame excuse for somebody you've always admired & worked with ALL those years, & as far as that fight goes everybody knows lil' man spade is not going to try & fight Farley! Smdh
SIP 😢😢😢😢😢
did I miss the reason he missed his funeral?
He said he k ew he would not of been able to control his emotions.
@@mikepalmer2219 He knew his sister-in-law since high school. Kate spade. he took her death hard as well.. he cried in a few interviews.
May He Rest In Peace but I never got the big deal with Chris Farley,I never thought he was even remotely funny. I totally get him not going to His Funeral. It had nothing to do with Him,some people just can't handle it. I'm one of those people. Unless it is a family member,or someone I loved,I'm not going to anyone's Funeral. Don't ask me to come to support you or whatever. No,not happening.
He was a sad and lonely man. Put yourself in his shoes and if you really think about it, it’s easy to see how he went the way he did. Most of his male friends had no issues getting women and being in relationships. Chris didn’t have that option; mostly because of his physical appearance. As time went on, Chris earned a reputation as a mean drunk. With that sort of reputation, even women who could look past his physical appearance couldn’t ignore that part of him.
He was 33 and probably never experienced being romantically loved by someone. I suspect paying for love by the hour probably did more harm to his mental health than good.
It’s tough to say how his life might have gone if he had a special woman in his life. Was his loneliness the reason for his substance abuse? Would he have set all that stuff aside and straightened out if a woman truly loved him and told him to quit so that he could be a responsible husband and a father? Who knows?
Why speaks volumes is that none of those closest to him were surprised by his demise. Saddened, yes. Shocked, no. Another sad story of a person gone way too soon.
First
🥱 Wow,this must be a huge for you ?. Probably the most exciting day of your life !. SAD 😔.
Congratulations, we would love also see you be first on our next video! Are you up to our challenge?
Spade is absolutely no "victim" of Farley. David's story depicts Chris as a rampaging lunatic who went into fits of jealous rage over Rob Lowe. I find that very hard to believe. Rather, Spade's snarky little attitude is likely catalyst that sent Chris to the edge after numerous remarks.. David is by no means this kind caring guy he says he is. He is a little snarky smart mouth who skipped out on Farley's funeral because he is selfish. Farley would have wanted him there. I don't know why. But, that is Chris. Being, a fan of Chris, I have seen numerous documentary style programs where people describe what Chris was like. Few describe Chris the way that Spade does. The only ones who do seem to be very sympathetic to Spade are celebrity friends of Spade. My bet is David is simply trying to protect his image by not looking like a complete jerk for bailing on Chris. I don't buy it. It was just too emotional for Spade that he couldn't handle it. Please. That sounds like such a lie.. The guy just absolutely trashed Eddie Murphy. Could about imagine what he was saying about Farley too. Yeah. Don't buy "David's Version" at all.
I'd say if anything he skipped out on the funeral because he couldn't bear to he his best friend laying dead in a casket. This is coming from someone who had to see their best friend dead in a casket.
Why narrate this this is ridiculous
You go to the funeral. You don't make the funeral of your friend about you, and worry about how you will look if you get emotional. You don't have to make a speech, but you show up. Even if you just appear and quickly leave, you have to go. If everyone did what Spade did, no one would have showed up.
It’s a personal choice. No one dictates how others should grieve.
Not everyone is the same dude. Get over yourself.
I'm sorry but david spade is kind of snobby
Spade isn’t funny.
There are like the modern-day Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin
Great comedian but larger than life just means loud and annoying
