Hardly an accurate comparison of comedic styles to Farley's. There is a subtext to the examples that you give here...good try though.

To me, Farley et al, seem to feel that excessive assaulting ones senses with manic gesturing, coupled with loud vulgar references for their forced humor. I think it's the vulgar references that get me. There is nothing underneath the noises. In other words, is this important to the performance or is the heightened efx, just trying wring out the most something that isnt there ?
