Sorry, Farley

Remember that recent DirectTV ad where John Belushi reenacts the potato-spitting scene from Animal House with a mouthful of hard drugs Chris Farley sings "Fat Guy in a Little Coat" for the benefit of David Spade's checking account? David Spade sent Asylum an explanation: "When DIRECT TV came to me and the Farley family with this idea about Tommy Boy, we talked and thought it would be a cool way to remind people just how funny Chris was. It is a clever homage to my friend and a movie that we loved doing." To be fair, at least it wasn't a clip from Almost Heroes. [Asylum]
