Chris Farley Direct TV Ad

  • A commercial for Direct TV featuring footage of the late-comedian Chris Farley and Tommy Boy co-star David Spade sparked controversy after it aired in late-October 2009. In the video, David Spade is seated on a couch complaining about cable television while it appears as if Farley is in the same room interacting with him. The footage of Farley is from a scene in Tommy Boy where Farley sings "fat guy in a little coat."

    Some fans of Farley said the commercial was insensitive and tasteless. Spade said he "thought it would be a cool way to remind people just how funny Chris was" and called it a "clever homage to my friend an a movie we loved doing."http://www.popeater.com/2009/10/26/chris-farley-direct-tv-ad/><ref>
