"Chippendales Audition"[a] is a comedy sketch which aired on October 27, 1990, during the 16th season of Saturday Night Live. It stars Chris Farley and guest host Patrick Swayze as dancers auditioning for the male burlesque troupe Chippendales. The sketch's humor largely stems from the incongruity of the overweight Farley performing energetic and erotic dance moves, with his body, which the judges later describe as "fat and flabby", contrasting with the trim, muscular body of Swayze. Heightening the absurdity, the panel judging the men considers them to be closely matched, repeatedly emphasizing the difficulty of choosing between them.
"Chippendales Audition" was well-received by SNL's audience and has been remembered as one of the show's most iconic sketches.[2][3] Occurring on Farley's fourth episode as a cast member, the sketch was instrumental in his rise to stardom.[1] Contemporary SNL cast and writers are sharply divided in their assessments of the sketch, with some strongly criticizing it as lazy and mean-spirited humor at the expense of Farley's weight, and others praising it as one of the funniest sketches of all time.[4][5]
