Oh my God, it's been 14yrs! Wow...I feel old.

Remember that one line where he said: "You can get a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head up there, but, wouldn't you rather to take his word for it? ...No, wait--"?

That was awesome.

Yeah, sounds like people are making a big deal about nothing. I got a big grin when I first saw it, and I was singing "Fat guy in a little coat" for the rest of the day.

Oh yeah, and hasn't it been 12 years since he died? TOO SOOOON!!!

Yeah, I totally agree. It's crazy. And that Michael Jackson comparison is spot-on. I don't think anybody would think twice about that. It might even be looked at as a "tribute." But you replace Farley w/ a body double for one second here and people lose their minds.

Nothing pisses me off more than stuff like this. People should get over it. I Love "Tommy Boy," but I can look at this objectively and say that there is nothing wrong with any part of this commercial. Next people will be getting upset when background music on commercials are Michael Jackson songs or when TNT starts playing "Dark Night" on cable. Get over people, these people are public figures, dead or alive and they CHOSE to become public figures the second they became entertainers.
