I've heard before how some people think that this type of humor is degrading. Chris Farley's reliance on doing the "fat person fall down" type of humor really could have contributed to his depression, drug use, and subsequent overdose. He didn't think he could be funny without making fun of himself being fat. John Candy didn't rely on fat jokes.

Kevin James can be funny, but his shtick is starting to wear, if not already. Anything with Sandler, especially a sequel, is a waste of time IMO. Why people would pay $10 to watch that crap in a theater is beyond me. Netflix or redbox...........maybe.


And the James/Carrey comparison is just idiotic.

Agreed. Chris Farley's act was starting to wear thin towards the end of his life. I think he was destined for mediocrity like the rest of the Happy Madison crew.
