Storyline
Black Sheep (1996) follows Steve Dodds, a well-meaning but accident-prone brother of a prominent politician, who inadvertently sabotages his sibling’s gubernatorial campaign. With the help of his clever and exasperated brother Al, Steve tries to redeem himself while navigating a series of hilarious mishaps and absurd situations. The film blends physical comedy, witty dialogue, and Farley’s signature slapstick humor to create a memorable political farce.
Why It’s Our Vibe
Chris Farley delivers his trademark over-the-top physical comedy, paired perfectly with David Spade’s sarcastic wit. The film’s chaotic humor, outrageous stunts, and heartfelt brotherly dynamic make it a quintessential 90s comedy. Its blend of political satire and absurdity gives it a lighthearted, energetic vibe that still resonates with fans of classic Farley-Spade collaborations.
