Tommy Boy has remained in touch with a singular vision on unique high quality music, and is more than the sum of its parts. Even markets other labels wouldn?t touch, Tommy Boy crashed headlong into.¹

Apparently, there was a lag of a year or so between the moment “Saturday Night Live” finally lost its appeal and the moment Hollywood executives figured it out. The result: THE CONEHEADS, IT’S PAT, and now TOMMY BOY, a low-brow comedy that tries to slide by on the dubious talents of SNL regulars Chris Farley (the loud, sweaty fat guy) and David Spade (the thin, supercilious long-distance pitchman).²

Important Note: TBSL content with a 01699 UPC prefix belongs to Tommy Boy Music and is controlled by Warner Music Group; TBSL content with a 66186 UPC prefix and a -0, -1, -2, or -4 suffix that is part of the catalog number belongs to Tommy Boy Entertainment. All Silver Label content released from January 2005 onward should not be added here.³

By any reasonable standard, Tommy Boy is stupid, disreputable junk. Just when you thought you’d erased the memory of Adam Sandler in Billy Madison playing a slobbo idiot who must prove that he’s worthy of taking over his father’s business, along comes Farley playing a slobbo idiot who must prove that he’s worthy of taking over his father’s business.⁴

“SNL” faves and “Tommy Boy” stars Chris Farley and David Spade reteam in this romp with Farley as the accident-prone brother of gubernatorial candidate Tim Matheson. In order to keep his goofy sibling from ruining his campaign, Matheson assigns assistant Spade to keep Farley out of trouble.⁵
