That song about Chris Farley is just lovely and the best thing about his special.

These skits were on when I was in highschool and my two younger siblings were still little. I used to incorporate SNL lines into daily life and it rubbed off on them, much to my mother's chagrin. It became a very common thing in my house to hear my 8 year old brother scream and gesticulate at my mother, "For the love of all things holy, just let the boy have a cookie!" Hilarious. 😂

Farley was just SO goddamned funny, it’s almost inhuman. I don’t care how he died or what he did behind the cameras but in front of them he was an angel here to give us humor and temporarily pull us from our grim lives.

[eggomaniac]

Can we STOP this cruel game, and let the boy keep one shred of dignity?!?!

FOR-THE LOVE-OF GOD





LET THE BOY MOVE IN WITH YOU

I LOVED 90s/early 00’s SNL and the Herlihy Boy is totally a deep cut classic. I have no idea how Sandler kept anything close to a straight face. It’s just all so ridiculous 😂 ❤

“Spade was just talking with his own voice” got me

[NewMessage]

Spade has that natural 'bitter sarcastic high school girl' lilt to his voice anyhow.

[mLify]

Gah, why do I tear up every time they talk about Farley. I miss him more than I thought I did. 😢

[StevenEveral]

My favorite part abut that sketch is watching Adam Sandler doing his damndest to not crack up.

[Cnstantn]

Schneider killed it too, as the snarky bubble-butt latina

[derbersdiscoveries]

Thanks for growing old with us, Adam!!!

[LeLeB]

I think Seth is fanboying a little bit. It's cute.

[JobberJerry]

Definitely one of the best skits ever on snl

[greatboniwanker]

Adam just touched unnoticed on how most young women feel, if we aren't 'the short skinny one'...

[durden]

The hair is in the dear woman’s eyes she can’t see her grandchildren! 🤣

LORDY BAGORDI LET LOVE RUN ITS COURSE!!!

[VianneyCreates]
