Have you seen that icky new DirecTV commercial? No, not the really confusing one with Black Eyed Peas hanging out on the moon and in the jungle, the one with new footage of David Spade and old footage (obviously) of Chris Farley re-enacting the “fat guy in a little coat” scene from Tommy Boy. In the ad, Spade whines about spending time with “two tons of fun” and wishes he could watch HDTV instead. Aside from demonstrating once again that a...

David Spade has said he was simply trying to honor Chris Farley in his much-criticized Direct TV ad starring the late comic — but he also got paid, a source said. We hear Spade got $200,000 for the shill job in which he’s spliced into a scene from “Tommy Boy,” in which he and Farley starred. [...]  

Back in the '90s, Chris Farley and David Spade ruled the comedy landscape. But when Farley tragically overdosed, it was clear that Spade was just riding the big guy's coattails.

If you've turned on the television lately, you've probably seen the satellite provider's advertising spot that places an older Spade...  

The new DirecTV commercial, in which David Spade watches Chris Farley’s “Fat Guy in a Little Coat” scene from Tommy Boy while appearing to exist in the same room as Farley, is freaking me out.

The other day I posted the DirecTV ad featuring footage of Chris Farley and new footage of David Spade, and I opined that it was a "worst commercial of the year" nominee. I also mentioned that it might be "too soon." To clarify, when I said "too soon" I didn't mean that it was too soon after Farley's death (he died 12 years ago). I meant that it's odd seeing a young, contemporary celebrity in an ad (which DirecTV also did with Heather O...  

I'm not a big fan of the commercial, but really, you think you have a moral high ground here? I'm sure Spade would have made more money on collectors edition of Tommy Boy Blu Ray. I'm not his biggest fan, but I'd have to believe him that this was a tribute that didn't go over so well. #davidspade teke367

OK, Hamilton, I'm a tad confused by your last sentence, "David Spade is available for kids' birthday parties and cheap blow-jobs". Is it because Spade realizes the Boys Attending Birthday Parties set is strapped for cash and therefore have a lower ability to pay for Spade-ian blow jobs? Or is it that Spade is cannily taking advantage of the Allowance Reliant set's relative impoverishment, which Spade is capitalizing on by receiving cheap Boy...
