Ok, thanks.

Then I'd go John 'Ate a Lotta' Candy.

[Rodey]

Candy was also a good serious actor when he needed to be. Planes, Trains and Automobiles comes to mind.

[SmoothG]

John Candy was so great. The great outdoors was always one of my favourites when I was young. I remember going to see uncle buck on my birthday.

[SmoothG]

Plus hes canadian, which makes him even more awesome!

[kydmb99]

Will always have a soft spot for Farley. Loved that guy.

[neumdogg]

I love the movie Tommy Boy with all my heart, but John Candy just has such a great movie catalog.

Even his small parts were just fantastic:

Rookie of the Year
Little Shop of Horrors
Home Alone

Everybody else

Howd you forget about Cool Runnings?!

[kydmb99]

SNL is what I'll always remember Farley for

[neumdogg]

However, speaking of small parts, Farley had some awesome ones too:

Waynes World
Airheads
Coneheads
Billy Madison

Eh, not really a small part. Pretty central to the storyline.

[AlexK79]

Belushi and Farley were the funniest, but Candy was the best actor.

Small role, but absolutely loved him in The Blues Brothers.

"Hey, this is car.....what number are we?"

"Five five."

"Car 55! And uhhhh.....we're in a truck!"

Patrice O'Neal

the way that dude would captivate a room is like something I've never seen before. He also didn't resort to slapstick fat guy humor.

[DMBstandUP1984]

Also I've never seen any of his stand up but from what I heard John Pinette kills it and is almost impossible to follow

Vacation and Blues Brothers too.

John Candy awesome, but Farley and Belushi funnier.

[Lee3691]

How can anyone think Candy was funnier than Farley?

[sbuzzz]

Was the question who is funniest or who was the best actor?

Fair question, but when we are talking about obese dead comedic actors, how funny someone is the most important factor, imo. And Farley was p funny.

I quote this one often, and nobody ever gets it. Kids these days.

[crashintonickdm]

Planes, trains and tommy boy

Candy and Farley were so great.

Absolutely love Farley, and Belushi.

But acting wise, Candy was awesome.

[Roose13]

Belushi. His SNL work was amazing and I'm biased because of Blues Brothers.

[Rebecca De Mornay]
