David Spade says he has no regrets about resurrecting a classic scene from "Tommy Boy" -- featuring the late, great Chris Farley -- for a controversial DirecTV ad, telling TMZ that offending people was never his intention.
We got David outside Boa last night, where he told us Farley's family and the director of "Tommy Boy" all gave their seal of approval for the spot.
He wasn't lying -- Kevin Farley, Chris' bro, was there too and said the commercial was "an honor to my brother."

\Who knew Jason "Gummi Bear" Davis had talent? Okay, that might be pushing it.
But it turns out Gummi does have a bit of an acting career in his past, albeit a small one. A pre-Gummified Davis had a very small part in the 1997 Chris Farley flick, "Beverly Hills Ninja" as the young Farley. Yup, there is some resemblance there.
Gummi is in the movie for a only few seconds -- just enough time to hit someone over the head with a stick.

Adorable actor Andrew Caldwell looks like a mini-Chris Farley, so it's no surprise that "The Transformers" star is a leeee-tle obsessed with the late great "Saturday Night Live" star.
"For everyone that says I act and look like Chris Farley, it's the biggest compliment I could ever get," gushed Caldwell to Chris Yandek of TheSportsInterview.com. He's such a fan, in fact, Caldwell revealed, "I was doing a movie in New Orleans and I got a tattoo down in New Orleans, and my tattoo says 'a van down by the river' on my back," a reference, of course, to one of Farley's infamous SNL skits. "You are the first person I told that to. I haven't even told my parents yet. They'll be happy to hear it." joked Caldwell, who is three days shy of his 18th birthday.
