Farley and whoever thinks otherwise really doesn't understand comedic acting.
Felt like giving a douchelike response like the other posts in this thread but in the opposite direction.

Depends on what you are talking about
Acting ability Candy by a galaxy. Not only was a genius "comedic" actor he was also brilliant actor by himself. He could make you laugh while hitting you in the feels easily and it was always believable.
On the other hand Farley has some of the funniest moments I have ever seen and Candy has never gave me a gut wrenching loose my breath laugh like Farley could.
Overall it's Candy for sure but I give Farley the edge in mindless, thoughtless, genuinely hilarity.

By far Candy. By far.
I think John Belushi is a better comparison to Chris Farley.

I had to check the date on this thread cause it gets posted like once a year. The only reason you would compare these two is because they are dead and fat. Thats it.

Also, I don't see Chris Farley doing a scene like this one in Uncle Buck where Candy goes off on the wart lady.

farley was a one-trick pony for pubescent boys. John Candy was legit AF.

Candy

the only thing they had in common was being fat. Candy could do everything Farley did, but Farley couldn't do everything Candy did.
You think Farley could have played Barf or Gus Polanski or Uncle Buck? No chance.

Neither. Fat comics aren't funny. Downvote away.

I am really late to this thread. I love Farley, but this is a total clown question.
You could maybe argue that this question would be legitimate if Farley was still alive today, but still...

I recently watched Only the Lonely on Netflix with Ally Sheedy and John Candy.
The script is god awful...it's so fricking dumb - it's like a 2 minute...skit turned into a movie.
But it's not a bad movie.
John Candy could carry almost anything. Sheedy was boring and dowdy...Maureen O'Hara was an old witch.
The movie was basically...okay, whats the next pitch...John Candy falls in love but...?
(and he carries Planes and Trains...Martin, in hindsight sort of seems bored in that and frankly is carried by Candy.)
Candy could really fricking act.

I think Farley is far and way funnier than Candy.
