Sitting here watching "Stripes" and was just wondering who was better.

Candy always played the born loser and Farley always played the spastic town idiot.

Farley was fart jokes and physical comedy....

Candy in a landslide. I like Farley, he was hilarious in some movies.
Candy was on a another level though. He's one of the best ever in my book

Candy easily, but it would have been interesting to see if Farley would have evolved. Sadly we will never know.

Candy had so much better range it wasn't funny.

Although Candy has the edge for overall body of work, Farley has one of the best moments in television history with the SNL skit Matt Foley when Christina Applegate was hosting. That whole bit is pure comical gold. "When your living in a van down by the river!"
