What was the appeal of Tom Green?

ultimate frat guy dudebro humor

He got easily annoyed by trolling.

He was in a very influential Canadian rap group.

Same appeal as Tim and Eric and all the other adult swim stuff

he was the original king of cringe humor. the man sat on a sidewalk and drank gallons grape juice while pissing it out through a catheter into an equal sized container. all while interviewing passerbys. if it wasn't for his big startup through mtv, he probably would never be known.

Candid camera humor updated for the gen-x nihilist zeitgeist. Same with jackass. The humor isn't just "lol people getting hit in the balls", it's also the irony of how low-brow that is.

you know jackass copied his show right? it was right after his show was cancelled by Mtv when they put jackass together

jackass started from the cky tapes dude. they kinda were about the same time period though. the first cky release and the tom green show were both in 99.

we cant have people complaining that there's no cheese in the cheese sandwiches now can we?

I asked myself that same question while he was popular

>>83768747
and dudesons were before both (though obviously unknown in america even if shown on an obscure finnish cable network)

That he got to make a million dollar movie is pretty amazing. His only watchable work is that, though.

DADDY WOULD YOU LIKE SOME SAUSAGE

What? How is Jackass like The Tom Green Show? He never did stunts at all, and Jackass was all about hurting themselves

>>83767670
He was funny.

Eric Andre for millennials

This. I only found him funny when he was out fucking with people irl. Then, Jackass ran with the formula, added crazy/funny/gross stunts into the mix, and Green was rendered obsolete. His mainstream career had a shelf life of like two years.

He was hilarious
