Tommy Boy

Tommy Boy is a 1995 American comedy film starring Chris Farley and David Spade, following a dimwitted but lovable heir trying to save his family's auto parts business.

The film became a cult classic, and the title now evokes Farley's physical comedy style: He did a full Tommy Boy pratfall into the pool.

Tommy Boy is also an influential hip-hop record label founded in 1981, known for releasing early work by Afrika Bambaataa, De La Soul, and Queen Latifah.
