Chris Farley's sports skits and other classics

Ten years ago today, Chris Farley passed away. The man was a genius at physical comedy and I still miss his awesome SNL skits. In tribute to Farley, here's a look back at some of the sports-related skits and commercials he did over the years, and a few other choice clips.



This took me forever to find (suck it NBC). It's the ultra classic Superfans skit with Michael Jordan where they debate Ditka versus a hurricane and Farley has the massive heart attack.


Farley also once did an ad for ESPN, recreating the final moments of the Duke/Kentucky thriller.


About 1:40 into this video you get the classic Farley ice skating clip.



The famous El Nino clip.


This Colombian coffee ad always killed me.


The famous Chippendales dance.


And of course, the legendary Matt Foley skit.


BY SPECIAL REQUEST, here's the Schmitts Gay skit.

If you're fat, don't watch this

This is the most ridiculous commercial I've seen in a long time. It's from Denver, where there's some guy that runs a fitness center called Anti-Gym that I guess is supposed to help you get thin without having to lift weights or do much. Sweet.

But his commercials are, uh, not kind to chubby individuals of the female persuasion. I'm just glad he didn't beat her to death.

Sorry I caught you spanking the monkey, Ricky

In honor of yesterday's hilarious You Been Blinded post about Ashley Young's bizarre pre-game ritual of jacking it in front of a web cam for all the interwebs to see, I decided we needed to help Mr. Young understand when it's ok flog the dolphin, and when it's not. So I dug up this incredibly uncomfortable 1970s PSA that should help him out, and you too.

Let's get drunk and drive a tank

I had to do it, he called me a wanker.

In this modern day hectic corporate world, sometimes it's impossible to get the whole office out for some much needed exercise. But no longer.

A British business that must be owned by an extremely bored former military unit is now offering corporate packages to let people drive tanks - while drunk out of their minds.

You're kidding, right?

This is a great Christmas Gift Idea for Him and also a great Corporate Hospitality Idea for a Team Building event for your company. The Tank Driving course includes complimentary drinks all day.

Yes, nothing helps team building like pretending you're at war - while drinking a martini. That Volvo was totally VC man! And guess what you'll receive after your day of riding the tank around like a jackass? A Certificate of Achievement. I'm surprised it wasn't a plaque on the Douchebag Hall of Fame Wall, but that's just me.

Hey, it's still probably better than wacky tacky tie day.

Slip 'n Slide on Steroids

It's kind of slow out there in the sports world, at least until Vick pleads guilty, so we thought we'd bring you some summertime fun.....ON STEROIDS. And also because Deuce already beat us to the pie eating bike contest. God it's slow.

Slip 'n Slide was always a pretty fun thing when you were younger. And frequently it wasn't enough. You wanted to slip 'n slide even further. So you'd wet the grass or grease yourself up in WD-40 or Crisco to do whatever it took to keep on slidin'. That is until you slid your way into a fence or the lawnmower. Good times.

Well how creative do you think you would have gotten if beer had been invloved? Luckily, someone did that, and this was his creation.


All it took was a little drunken bulldozing (which I totally recommend by the way), some tarps, and a hill. The only downside is the retention pool at the bottom, which looks like the leftovers from an overloaded port-o-john.


We salute you Mr. Slip n' Slide man. Taking a fun childhood pleasure and turning into beer fueled water mayhem. I have no doubt this will be a Summer Olympic event in 2016. Summer Luge they'll call it, and everyone will have cuts on their stomachs by the medal ceremony.

And as an added bonus, here's some old school rip-off Slip 'n Slide fun.

Ride the log

This is an out of left field post. What we've got here is video of the Onbashira Festival that is held once every six years in Nagano, Japan.

Why are we showing this to you? Because it's from Japan, and everything from Japan is awesome. It also may be the craziest "sport" I've seen in well, pretty much forever. Essentially, you get on a log with 30 other guys, hang on tight, and try not to get killed as the log barrels down a hill at 25 mph. Only residents of Suwa city in Nagano are allowed to ride the log, so don't worry, you can't do this.

This sport has a track record of horrific injuries and deaths, which is what happens when you try and ride a multi-ton log. Don't worry, everyone in the video from 2004 was ok. Maybe if we work hard we can bring this sport to America. Or maybe not.
