I thought he looked a lot like Chris Farley!

Tommy Boy is literally based on this loser fucking prick.

Here's a little FYI for ya. Tropic Thunder is based on my experiences in Vietnam.
Looks like while all of Chris's brothers got in to comedy his cousin Jim decided to become a laughing stock of a person instead. You did it all wrong, Jimbo.
Maybe he never watched Tommy Boy.
Mfs nickname is from the movie...
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.
Maybe he’s like those guys who listen to fortunate son and think it’s glorifying war?
Just broke my brain a little bit, that crazy!
Holy shit, they're cousins!?
I wonder if there was family drama when Tommy Boy came out:
"You can't make a movie where the bad guy is an evil capitalist who doesn't care about the auto-workers. That's a direct attack on your cousin!"
He should live in a van down by the river.
