Both are big guys who were comedians. Both had different styles and both had a great following who was your favorite and which one was the better comedian?

 

[Swinny]

I like both guys, but I think Candy was the better performer and had better roles and more memorable characters.

 

[The Great Cochrane]

I'm gonna support my country and go with John Candy.

 

[Swinny]

I'm gonna support my country and go with John Candy.

Yeah, that's something else in his favor. :canada:

 

[Wang Chung]

I have to go with Candy. He seemed to have good timing and I always felt that Farley needed a script to be funny.

 

[Postman Dave]

Cool runnings

[Fuji Vice]

Never really cared much for Farley unless he was dancing next to Patrick Swayze. Candy by a country kilometer.
