He'd probably lose like 200 pounds and get real weird like Zach Galafalafalakisanalsassinsgsg.

Probably not. He'd just be another regular Happy Madison film appearance.
Phil Hartman would, I think. |

A "one trick pony", he would have forever been typecast as the fat doofus he was and always played.
He may have tried to pull a Seth Rogan, loose a few dozen pounds and try to sell himself as a seasoned thespian. He would be a raging Hollywood liberal also. And look how that's panning out for the latter fat doofus stoner typecast fucking liberal chubby douchebag. |

Probably not. I remember Austim Powers IMoM being funny. It came on the other day and I didn't make it ten minutes in. My point is sometimes bits/styles of comedy just don't hold up.

Do you think his humor would have aged well? Some of his contemporaries are no longer funny in my opinion. Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey are a couple of examples. I used to find these two extremely funny but they don't do it for me anymore. Well Spade's still funny I think. So the two of them could do another Tommy Boy movie I guess. But.. in all honesty it would really depend on whether or not he sobered up. Otherwise he'd just end up dead. Again. |

One trick pony.
Unless he developed his talent past the "fat guy is funny" shtick, then no. By contrast, John Candy was fat, and sometimes used that in his comedy material, but he was extremely talented beyond just that. |

Sandler has grown up and his Comedy has too..i like his recent stuf much better than his earlier (other than Happy Giilmore..that was funny shit) Farley?? I don;t know. Leslie Nielsen was a successful physical comedian as he got older, maybe farley could have pulled it off, but he;d have to get beyond the ONE character he played in every movie |

Chris Farley was never funny. The reason you don't find Carrey and Sandler funny "any more" is you grew up. |

He would without a doubt still be hilarious. It seems though, because he has passed that talent like him just can't last. Loved everything he ever did. Seemed like a genuinely nice guy also from candid interviews and people he worked with. I think insecurity killed him.

I thought Chris Farley was funny at the time, but I think like any martyred celebrity he has been put on a pretty high pedestal.
I think Chris Farley, had he lived, would be another Will Ferrell... funny when properly cast as a bit player, but tired and played out as a lead. |

Carrey and Sandler are still funny. We've all aged. It's cool that funny evolves. They are the same person as they were in the past when they may have been funnier?

On the one hand you have Chevy Chase who is as not funny as could possibly be.
On the other hand you have Bill Murray. Eh, could have gone either way. |

By todays standards.....a great one with what we see today. |

Sure, Chevy Chase was funny in the very distant past. But this topic is about how funny a particular comedian would have been as he aged. How funny has Chevy Chase been in the last 20 years? |

Unless he evolved his talent....no. I never found his characters funny anyway, just annoying. Always yelling and making a big dramatic fuss over little shit wasn't funny to me. I like Adam Sandler more now than I ever did. He relies on words and wit to be funny and I like that. That ridiculous voice he always did back in the day just grated on my nerves to a point I wanted to punch the TV.

Comedians can't go on being funny forever. Not at a high rate of output, at least. If they get a show for a few seasons like Chapelle, that might have been 15 years worth of jokes that he had saved up.

I think his humor fit in perfect for his time.
If it didn't evolve, and he was still around, he wouldn't be relevant right now. |
