Chris Farley & David Spade Direct TV Commercial

welcometofarleyville.blogspot.com Was watching a repeat of Letterman last night and was surprised when I saw a Direct TV Ad featuring my favorite movie, Tommy Boy. In it (youtube video shown below) we see David Spade portraying his "Richard" character from the film denouncing cable and "that," pointing to "Tommy," Chris Farley's character. At first I felt that was a distasteful commercial. Chris has been dead now over ten years and David is complaining about being stuck with "tons of Fun!" Again that was my first reaction after watching it again and again, I noticed the commercial does have good heart. David's final line is "Never gets old," when Chris rips the jacket. Meaning that he can watch this over and over again. Like I said at first viewing It seems that David is a sarchastic ass (which he is) trying to profit off his dead friend (which...he isn't.)

Ohhh right so because Chris is dead, we should clearly sweep all his awesomeness under the rug and never, ever mention him or his work again to remind all the kids of today of this genius...I'm sure that's what Chris would have wanted.

Much like many other people here it seems, I only came here because I heard this commercial was "offensive" and "tasteless." My god, when I die I can only prey that my best friends can re-live our best moments and memories. What IS offensive is anyone calling David Spade "tasteless" as if any of them even knew Chris Farley. Shit dude.

@CLOVERCITYY15 It did have the consent of his family. They make any decision regarding him now.

As much as Spade meant to do good by this commercal, and he wanted to keep Farley's memory alive....I really just think it was disrespectful. Direct Tv. didn't have Farley's memory in mind when writing it. "Fatty falls down" Created him, but also killed him. R.I.P Chris Farley

@lpf98 Exactly, in this commercial he even says, "great im here with tons of fun when i could be watching direct tv". In the movie his character calls chris "tons of fun" so to agree with your statement, he was just reprising his role for this commercial.
