I love how most of the comments are ppl complaining about how this ruins the movie somehow and the others are talking about how amazing the quality is on this youtube video, haha
@RootMomIsComin4U so because of this commercial the movie is completely ruined and you will never watch it again. why dont you make sure your not on your period when you type in comments.
@Gillyweedstoner makes me laugh how people complain when they had nothing to do with him. david was his best friend and he didnt mind, neither did chris's family. i love chris and this just cracks me up. its not offensive to anyone so get a grip people!!!!!
I can't believe people got their panties in a twist over this thing, for a few reasons: 1.Chris Farley's family/estate signed off and said they were fine with it. That says it all, but in addition: 2. This movie is as much Spade's as it is Farley's, and they were good friends. 3. It gives us a bit of 90s nostalgia and may have introduced a new generation to Chris's comedy, and what's wrong with that. Especially when most comedy today rips off the good stuff from long ago.
Spade put it perfect when asked if he was trying to make money off his friend with this commercial. he said if I wanted to make money off Chris, I would've wrote a book a long time ago.
This commercial helps keep Chris's memory alive, and introduce him to fans that may not be familiar with his work. As for David Spade only being funny on SNL and two Farley films that just not so. "Just Shoot me," and "The Rules of Engagement," are both very funny shows, not to mention Spade has been in several funny films. I'm not going to speak for Chris, but crying over this commercial is a waste of tears!
A werry funny comercial tribute to the funniest man ever.Your the best Farley and always will be.Chris shoud be honored and laugh about this if he would be alive.Rip Chris Farley.
I wasn't offended. I got a laugh when I saw this commercial amidst the normal dross that is television these days. I don't know how it would be offensive.
everyone needs to stop saying: "well chris farley would have wanted it" and crap like that. None of you KNEW him so how the hell would you know what he wants
@LoQueSoyEsReal ok first off you fat sack of shit that cant even sing to save your own life his not your uncle. If he was your uncle am pretty sure you would have atleast have a video saying something about your wannabe uncle not singing while all your fat is stuck on your throat trying to block your air ok prove it.
@LoQueSoyEsReal I don't know you, but I do know you are lying because he is MY uncle and we're obviously not related. Tom Farley is MY Dad, and the only sibling of Chris Farley's that had kids at the time of his death... Me, my older sister, and my younger brother... you are clearly not my sister or my brother... therefore it's a lie.
@mizzmeekz make whatever comment you want, but don't tag me in it... I have better things to do than indulge in this and I don't enjoy getting constant notifications from youtube.
If anyone knew what chris would have wanted... i'm sure chris' family and one of his closest friends know... i like the ad. and the ad is about ICONIC movies.. and if they think tommy boy is an iconic movie, i'b be flattered to.
man cant you guys understand that okay sure hes dead but he was a great guy and he wasint selling him out chris's family had no problem with it so guys just dnt worry spade is a great and funny guy and so is chris... its just a good movie that alot of people saw and figure hey lets make an advertisment on it! so please dnt take this offenceive
i have no prob with it but some people are douches and need to get over it david spade and chris were best frends and he wants people to remember chris and so he makes a commercial and people become critics
I think its a good commercial, I think it may get younger people who were too young to see this movie. Farley was and still is a great talent. He was the best, and now more people might be able to see that.
I can't believe they have a dead guy selling DirectTV poor Chris Farlely if i was his family i would be really pissed off I hate when they do this shit!
LA Writer, do you have nothing better to do than monitor posts for this video all day and criticize people for their opinions? You have commented on a bunch of posts and everyone has given you thumbs downs, take a hint and get a life you d-bag. Did God tell you Farley wouldn't like this commercial?? boo hoooo
Oh my god, I'm gonna go strap some bombs to myself and kill David Spade over this harmless advertisement! I am so offended. You're such a bad man, Spade! LEAVE FARLEY ALONE!!!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!! STOP IT
@ordealbyfire the issue is that chris farley has been dead for quite some time and because of this it seems like david spade is just trying to make a buck off if his dead friend and really thats not cool......
Okay, I can maybe see how this would possibly be offensive if they were using, for example, private home movies of Farley and mocking him in those. Or maybe I would have been upset if Spade's character in the movie hadn't been such a jerk. Spades attitude in the ad is biting, but let's face it, that was what his character in the movie was too.
Wait, hold on. This is supposed to be "tasteless"? It's nothing more than a movie reference. Of course Spade is gonna make money from doing this, it's a commercial, that's how it works.
Spade got $200,000. Yep that's why my DTV bill was so high. Likely gave Beyonce 3 million. Bill was about 32 buck when I first got it and about 65 when I canceled. No upgrades.
homage? Yeah cause he need a DTV ad to remind us he was relevant and his paid friend loves him. Whatever....It's about selling out to some corporation. A very small ad compared to the Tommy Boy movie. Pathetic.
I got rid of DTV cause it's damn expensive. Probably cause they spend so much on ads.
it's not them being a sellout; stop being so high on yourself
They're using a popular scene from a funny movie so that everyone can relate. Everyone loves this scene, and why would Chris Farley be against this idea? He made this movie so that people would SEE it and laugh, not be too scared to show it because they think it's disrespectful
High on myself? I get the concept. Think the ad sucks and Spade just wanted the money. Said Farley would "be stoked" about the ad. Shows how Lame Farley was and that Spade knows a 12 year dead guy like DTV humor.
Maybe he can sell McDonalds during the superbowl. Point is Spade just wanted money and said himself he would not do it again.
Just imagine your best friend passed away a couple years ago, but before he died he did some really funny thing at school.
Now, at your 10-year reunion, you would want to show the video of him doing that thing! Not to make money or anything, but to remind people of how cool and lovable your friend was. Think about it. You would want people to remember one of the highlights of your friend's life.
and he wouldn't do it again because of the reaction it got, not cuz he felt bad
Not a huge deal. Everyone sells out. I just get annoyed when people get called on it and say they aren't. Then they cash the large check.
It's got nothing to do with some fitional 10 year reunion. This is a corporation trying to sell you overpriced service in a not so cleaver ad that Farley would be as Spade said, "stoked" about.
dude none of us know exactly who was thinking what
but at least be open to the fact that maybe Spade isn't as greedy and insensitive as you might think.
Look he's got to make a living, and acting/ making appearances his is job. Just because he got paid to do this doesn't lower his respect Chris Farley at all.
I know you think that is wrong on some moral level, but really it isn't.
If Farley was still alive would this still be a sell-out? No!
But Dude I thought it was something out of homage. Look he got 200k to "honor" his dead friend & shilling Satellite TV, end of story.
I call what I think is wrong on some moral level. You stick to your view.
Yes is Farley were alive it would still be selling out. I have a problem with all these DTV commercials to start with. This one just made me a little more sick.
Look for Spade or Pam Anderson to write drug filled tell-all to cash in again. Both are apparently broke with dead careers.
I don't know much about either actor but Tommy Boy is one of my favorite movies. From what I've read, David Spade was Chris Farley's best friend. He's always been closed when it comes to his friend. I lost my best friend a few years ago. I have the feeling that this advert had very little to do with self promotion.
It is a scene redone from a movie, how many directv ads are like this. Good golly. I love Chris. ♥♥♥ I seen my hubby watching TV and this "part of the movie" was on. I had no idea it was commercial, the volume was off. Then I seen this again and registered right away. Directv is doing this. Too much of coincidence to walk in on the same part twice. I think it rocks.
I've seen this movie a million times and still laugh every time...I don't find the commercial to be in bad taste at all, in fact I think it's brilliant...The antics of Chris Farley never do get old; he brings us joy and laughter even 12 years after his tragic departing.
i find this kind of offensive considering the circumstances. i would have thought david spade would have rejected this kind of a commercial considering he and farley were friends
I know a lot of people that quote that movie often. Fat guy in a little coat is up there with anything from Airplane or Caddyshack in some circles. Spade may be lame for taking the job, but nobody cares when Abbot and Costello are used in an ad, or even recreating John Lennon for that video game. Nothing much to complain about. Spade is a comedy hack and hasn't been funny in a long time. Dana Carvey will be doing a commercial with Hans and Franz soon.
I don't get what the big deal is... I think it's funny & I bet that's the way any comedian would like to be remembered, as being funny/good @ what they do
Yea rite u all like EVERY1 else on YouTube r nothin but a bunch of bored individuals who hav nothin else better 2 do than 2 complain about things an ppl u all claim 2 care about but really dont. I mean u all r honestly goin 2 say that u TRULY care about an ad that characterizes the career of some1 u never even knew while also not affectin u ne way?
Yea, ok.
Stop usin YOUR OWN "MORALS" as ammunition 4 bashin other ppl w/ different opinions, or in this case, interpretations. Fuckin hypocrites.
I know WHO is taking offense, its the "fat" peope he says "Fat guy little coat" which is funny ok Hell farley WOULD think it was funny, you think this is offensive?
Wats with everyone saying this is in bad taste and is offensive? i think it's funny and a great way to remember one of the late great comedy actors. if u find this offensive then ur way to up tight. Hell i bet farley wou;d think it was funny.
It's just a matter of opinion and how you take the ad. Those of you all bashing other people simply b/c you think their opinions are "heartless" are complete hypocrites because only "heartless" people bash others for having different interpretations on something like a commercial. Plus none of you all in a hissy fit over this most likely never even knew Farley personally yet you all care enough to go into an uproar over a commercial?
1 those are your words 2 you are dumb and 3 I wonder why of all the comments on here you picked mine to rant on.
If you were famous would you not want your stuff still played in some form so ppl will never forget who you are and what you accomplished?
If you would say please stop showing ppl what great work I did cuz I am dead you are stupid. I know I would want ppl to laugh at my comedy 1 more time. Corporate America or not that is how I would feel.
I dotn know how they said this was in bad taste. The way Spde says "It never gets old" was a way of saying Chris Farley is timeless. And its true. Im a huge Farley fan. And for 32 seconds it felt like he was alive again.
This does not offend me one bit. I think it's a fun tribute to a great movie and a guy that died too early. "Never gets old". Does it make me want to buy DirecTV? No. It simply is an entertaining commercial so it's really just DirecTV's problem because I don't care about the service, just the funny commercials.
Why would this be offensive? They are paying respect to how funny he is, how his brand of humor "never gets old". I think people have too much time on their hands and are trying to find the "next big topic" to stir the proverbial pot.
Not sure why some people are complaining about this commercial. Direct TV turned one of the funniest scenes into a commercial. Nothing wrong with that at all. Chris Farley isn't the only actor who is dead that appears in commercials these days....Elvis, John Wayne, Marolyn Monroe....I could go on and on.
I thought such a comment was a nice little tribute to a man who was so talented at being funny that his movies just funny today as they were over 12 years ago. All Direct TV saying is that you can enjoy great, funny movies such as "Tommy Boy" on their service.
Some of you people need to chill out. Chris Farley was a hilarious and beloved actor, especially to those of us who were still kids growing up up in the early 90's. Though this ad may be a little inappropriate due to Farley being dead, there is NOTHING in its content that is outright disrespectful. "Tommy Boy" was a great movie and Direct TV hit on that when Spade say's "It never gets old."
and as far as direct tv as an effective advertiser, mission accomplished, people know this commercial, know its for direct tv, and have generated conversation both positive and negative about direct tv.
Not a big deal, think about it, would Chris Farley object, while i cant speak for him, im sure he appreciates the thought, that even after death, he is still a major entertainer.
This ad just makes me sad...am I supposed to now relate direct TV with a beloved SNL character?
It puts David Spade a few notches down, Farley a few up, and makes Direct TV generally look like asswipes. So I can't see how it's effective advertising.
I think the only way this could be publicly seen as disrespectful is if someone views it as demeaning to Chris Farley or demeaning to fat people in general. I think in no way would Chri Farley take this offensively because he did the freaking joke in the first place.
If fat peopple in general feel disrespected then instead of feeling sorry for themselves they need to do something about their weight issue.
i have no problem with this. i think its good cause you remember chris farley and how funny and cool he was. its not like there talking about drugs or anything.whoever said its distastefull shut up lol
you fuck'in retards(sorry retards.)so he is dead....so i jimmie hendrix,nat king cole,micheal jackson,and kurt cobain.....any one going to stop lisnting to their music??? same thing.
I see no problem with this. I mean if they used like Beverly Hills Ninja or something.. then I could see people being pissed... But yeah I agree its more of a tribute, people who get offended about this have a bug up their ass..
On another note.. if people freak about this God forbid DTV ever decided to make a Heath Ledger commercial.. people would collectively shit themselves..
Farley himself said he had a bad experience doing that movie and said he never wanted to do another like it again.. so attempting to honor him with a movie that he wasn't happy with to me would seem insulting compared to this.
pretty much he felt his type of physical humor was being exploited and dumbed down to the point it was boring and repetitive, he actually hated the movie the first time he saw it. I think this was on all one of his Biographic specials with the Biography channel or A&E. its sad too before he died he was cast as Shrek.. he woulda made one hell of a Shrek
I cant understand people thinking this is distasteful. I LOVE IT! I miss Chris Farley and this is a cool way to catch him again. I think it is a GREAT idea.
Farley and Spade were best friends. Farley's family approved the ad. Farley would do anything for a laugh. End of story.
Monty Python uses cardboard cutouts of Graham Chapman for laughs. Once they even "accidentally" spilled an urn supposedly containing his ashes on television.
If these stunts were pulled by people who didn't know the deceased, I'd have a problem with it. But we, the public, don't know these celebrities like their friends. Don't act like your favorite comedian is your friend.
If anything, its giving him more respect, even in death people still wish he could do their commercials!
Im a massive Chris Farley fan, and at first I thought maybe this commercial was somehow insulting him and thats why its a big fuss. But it isnt, its simply using the footage and adding other footage.
Do you feel bad when you watch a movie with a dead actor in it? No.
the guy below me is right come now chris farley would of loved to do a commercial like this dead or alive david spade would kno tht cuz he acually knew the guy personally so obviously he did for the right reasons r.i.p. chris farley
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's not the fkn point that Chris would of loved to do this commercial!! He's dead!! He didn't have the choice, No one could ask him if shitty direct tv can call him tons of fun on tv so that they can "try" to sell more shitty dishes to people!!!! its wrong, they did not have to make fun of him!! anyone who thinks otherwise can suck it!!!!
Its not that serious... Chris was a comedian. Why not promote it. Directv sells tv services, If it wasn't for any television services, you wouldn't know who in the hell Chris was.
blah blah blah. u are a fkn moron. shut up. u have no idea who he was or what chris would've thot bout this ad. so u nor i have any say if its disrespectful. no one is making fub of him either u idiot. havent u seen all of his videos? there is tons of funny shit like this on all his movies and he pretty much made fun of himself the whole time so nobody made fun of him just himelf. you are just some retard.... and so is everyone else who feels like u do. tard
You have no Idea who I am, I will only go as far as saying I'm related to Chris. Thats about as much time I will give to someone like you. Question? What the hell is fub? Oh did you mean something else? Ha Ha Ha Idiot!!!
I'm sure DirecTV meant well by the ad; but that was kind of exploitative knowing Chris Farley is dead. They should've gone another route with David Spade instead of this.
You sound like a Direct Tv user, Tell me, doesn't it suck losing service everytime the wind blows to hard? or when it rains? They suck!! and shouldnt of used Chris to make more people suffer with there crap service!!!
The joke may not get old, but Spade certainly has, lol.

but at least be open to the fact that maybe Spade isn't as greedy and insensitive as you might think.
Look he's got to make a living, and acting/ making appearances his is job. Just because he got paid to do this doesn't lower his respect Chris Farley at all.
I know you think that is wrong on some moral level, but really it isn't.
If Farley was still alive would this still be a sell-out? No!
him not being here doesn't change that
joshuaspolar 2 years ago 2
But Dude I thought it was something out of homage. Look he got 200k to "honor" his dead friend & shilling Satellite TV, end of story.
I call what I think is wrong on some moral level. You stick to your view.
Yes is Farley were alive it would still be selling out. I have a problem with all these DTV commercials to start with. This one just made me a little more sick.
Look for Spade or Pam Anderson to write drug filled tell-all to cash in again. Both are apparently broke with dead careers.
stang661 2 years ago
A great homage from one of the world's funniest men to another. Farley isn't smiling down from heaven - he's laughing his ass off.

I don't know much about either actor but Tommy Boy is one of my favorite movies. From what I've read, David Spade was Chris Farley's best friend. He's always been closed when it comes to his friend. I lost my best friend a few years ago. I have the feeling that this advert had very little to do with self promotion.

It is a scene redone from a movie, how many directv ads are like this. Good golly. I love Chris. ♥♥♥ I seen my hubby watching TV and this "part of the movie" was on. I had no idea it was commercial, the volume was off. Then I seen this again and registered right away. Directv is doing this. Too much of coincidence to walk in on the same part twice. I think it rocks.

I've seen this movie a million times and still laugh every time...I don't find the commercial to be in bad taste at all, in fact I think it's brilliant...The antics of Chris Farley never do get old; he brings us joy and laughter even 12 years after his tragic departing.

I know a lot of people that quote that movie often. Fat guy in a little coat is up there with anything from Airplane or Caddyshack in some circles. Spade may be lame for taking the job, but nobody cares when Abbot and Costello are used in an ad, or even recreating John Lennon for that video game. Nothing much to complain about. Spade is a comedy hack and hasn't been funny in a long time. Dana Carvey will be doing a commercial with Hans and Franz soon.

It's just a matter of opinion and how you take the ad. Those of you all bashing other people simply b/c you think their opinions are "heartless" are complete hypocrites because only "heartless" people bash others for having different interpretations on something like a commercial. Plus none of you all in a hissy fit over this most likely never even knew Farley personally yet you all care enough to go into an uproar over a commercial?

This does not offend me one bit. I think it's a fun tribute to a great movie and a guy that died too early. "Never gets old". Does it make me want to buy DirecTV? No. It simply is an entertaining commercial so it's really just DirecTV's problem because I don't care about the service, just the funny commercials.
jwcanfield82 2 years ago
Why would this be offensive? They are paying respect to how funny he is, how his brand of humor "never gets old". I think people have too much time on their hands and are trying to find the "next big topic" to stir the proverbial pot.

Not sure why some people are complaining about this commercial. Direct TV turned one of the funniest scenes into a commercial. Nothing wrong with that at all. Chris Farley isn't the only actor who is dead that appears in commercials these days....Elvis, John Wayne, Marolyn Monroe....I could go on and on.
dislipson2002 2 years ago 2
I thought such a comment was a nice little tribute to a man who was so talented at being funny that his movies just funny today as they were over 12 years ago. All Direct TV saying is that you can enjoy great, funny movies such as "Tommy Boy" on their service.

Some of you people need to chill out. Chris Farley was a hilarious and beloved actor, especially to those of us who were still kids growing up up in the early 90's. Though this ad may be a little inappropriate due to Farley being dead, there is NOTHING in its content that is outright disrespectful. "Tommy Boy" was a great movie and Direct TV hit on that when Spade say's "It never gets old."

MaryOMackie 2 years ago
I think the only way this could be publicly seen as disrespectful is if someone views it as demeaning to Chris Farley or demeaning to fat people in general. I think in no way would Chri Farley take this offensively because he did the freaking joke in the first place.
If fat peopple in general feel disrespected then instead of feeling sorry for themselves they need to do something about their weight issue.

pretty much he felt his type of physical humor was being exploited and dumbed down to the point it was boring and repetitive, he actually hated the movie the first time he saw it. I think this was on all one of his Biographic specials with the Biography channel or A&E. its sad too before he died he was cast as Shrek.. he woulda made one hell of a Shrek

Farley and Spade were best friends. Farley's family approved the ad. Farley would do anything for a laugh. End of story.
Monty Python uses cardboard cutouts of Graham Chapman for laughs. Once they even "accidentally" spilled an urn supposedly containing his ashes on television.
If these stunts were pulled by people who didn't know the deceased, I'd have a problem with it. But we, the public, don't know these celebrities like their friends. Don't act like your favorite comedian is your friend.

If anything, its giving him more respect, even in death people still wish he could do their commercials!
Im a massive Chris Farley fan, and at first I thought maybe this commercial was somehow insulting him and thats why its a big fuss. But it isnt, its simply using the footage and adding other footage.
