    which would prefer as an uncle?

    I know candy is dead but if he was still alive would you like him as an uncle or is this an impossible decision to make?

    John was a goodman, he always brought me candy. Then he touched me in the back of his van.

    hmmm it is a tough decision but I think it would be John Goodman...having John Candy as an uncle would be cool though

    John Candy kind of had a more fun uncle vibe. I always remember John Goodman crushing the frog in O Brother Where Art Thou. (Also he smacked George Clooney in the head with a tree branch).

    yes but hes not fat enough, he looks cuddly but hes not big like a bear, not the kind of big uncle that would scare away anyone up to mischief

    John Goodman is one of the most under-rated actors of his time.

    Candy.

    Goodman always looked like he was prone to the occasional violent, drunken outburst at family gatherings.

    Jon Belushi was the ying to their yang (the cuddly-looking but badly-behaved uncle).

    LOL :pac:

    Aaa to be young.

    I loved John Candy's acting and comedy - a loss to the world that went too young.
    John Goodman as an over all actor is great too.
    If I had to pick one - it would be Candy.

    Thats exactly why he would be my choice. He'd be great at funerals;)
