WTF: David Spade's Direct TV commercial

You'll see it. It's replacing that weird-ass Black Eye Peas spot.

 

Fat guy in a little coat is one of my favorite moments in the movie, so I like the commercial. Didn't even pay attention to Spade and his stint with the Yankees.

 

No kidding. That is pretty much the definition "one of these things is not like the other".

 

Just saw it...

That's beyond wrong. It just made me sad.

 

David Spade is such an ass... total sell out move, isn't it? Here's the clip:

just weird.

 

Yeah, I can't imagine that Spade needs the money, but the same could be said for Craig T. Nelson, Sigourney Weaver, James Caan and some of the other people who have done them.

The Craig T. Nelson one was creepier, but this one was sad. I know that was one of the funniest scenes in the movie, but they could have found one where Spade didn't have to make fun of him. I'm a huge Spade fan, but that was tough to watch.

 

Are these ad created by Donnie Deutsch's ad agency? Talk about insufferable douchebags!

 

I'm going to give David Spade the benefit of the doubt (did I really just type that? ???) because I think he has a better understanding of his relationship with Farley and what is "OK" than any of us do.

That said, it probably would have been wise to pass just because of what the public perception was likely to be.

 

I'm going to give Spade the benefit of the doubt because of how generous he's been to Farley's family.

But, he should have demanded that they use a different clip from Tommy Boy.

 

Yes, they are done by Donnie's agency.

 

It wasn't an exact quote, just an example of someone with enough bucks to take care of her and offset the shame.

as for the direct TV spots, kind of surprised to see Naomi Watts do one for King Kong. Hell, I was surprised she was in King Kong.
