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.

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.

Maybe he’s like those guys who listen to fortunate son and think it’s glorifying war?

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.
