Throughout the neverending Rob Ford saga that has plagued the news (and Tumblr) for the past several weeks, one of the biggest laments of the internet is that Chris Farley isn’t around to parody Rob on SNL.

Well, thanks to the ingenunity of Toronto-based director, Tristan Gough, we have a movie trailer that brings us as close as we’re going to get to Farley as Ford. The trailer starts off as a traditional, rip-roaring Farley tour de force and then takes a turn towards the redemptive. It’s comedic, disconcertingly accurate, and a must-see entry in the Rob Ford meme canon that has developed in the last few weeks. Watch below.
