Blank stare.
I don’t know why Chris Farley/ David Spade was a problem. Didn’t Chris die in ’97? It’s not too soon and it only showed a clip of Chris trying on a jacket that was too small for him. I haven’t seen any of the others.
cant watch the video…wuts the big deal?
IDC about the other ones but to use Jesus crucifixion is outright a shame…….SMDH they’ll learn to to play witht the Lord when eveyone switches to Verizon and Comcast.
They are treading a thin line with these vidoes…very distasteful
!!!
but smh@the jesus one
JFK one was funny, “hey lets take the convertible today,; yeah its a a good day for that” haha
