      MFs life is literally the plot of the movie Tommy Boy. In the movie, Tommy’s father is an industrialist who owns Callahan Auto.

      Here’s an article about it. Kind of makes you like the movie less because it’s glorifying this fucking prick.

      Kinda makes you think if Farley had lived, we probably wouldn’t like him so much, either. We didn’t have time to learn how big of a pile of shit he was thanks to his family.

        Helluva presumption to just pull out of your ass about someone whose only relation to this matter is family name.

          I don’t fucking live vicariously through rich celebrity twats. In my experience, most of them are absolute shitheads, and when they wrote the movie to glorify *checks notes… the guy who is referenced here for being a selfish cunt who doesn’t want to pay his employees worth a damn, maybe, just maybe it means they view his assholery as quite OK.

          Sorry that I’ve known enough rich families with asshats like that in them that I know they support those people. Especially if they take the time to write a whole god damned movie loosely based on them. Give me a fucking break, people in this country are way too ready to defend celebrities, and by extension their provably shitty families.

            I’m out to defend celebrities as much as I’m out to defend anyone being criticized for family fucking relations my guy. Get over yourself.

            Like holy fucking shit, you’re literally acting as if Chris Farley himself wrote a fucking film in the year of our lord 2023 about Jim Farley. Not a film from *checks notes… 1995 that Jim Farley claims was about his family.

            You don’t need a break from anything but being so holier than thou you feel free to judge people based off of an article based off a tweet.
