Tom Green, Genius, or Just Plain Annoying?

beardedchicken

would you rather stab him in the eye with a rusty compass,
or shake his hand for his genius??

Terminator

I saw his last film, "Freddie got fingered" and it was unspeakably bad. Okay he has his moments but 90% of that film should never have left the cutting room.

Giblet

His monica lewinsky stunt was good, and some other stuff is brilliant, but a lot of the time he is up his own arse

Bard

he's a dork with a mediocre amount of talent... certainly not a genius.

Draco

Burtally bad, and completely unfunny.

m1ke

comic genius

Tom Greene is to Jackass what Rum is to Trigger Happy TV.
(ie a dumbed down, completely stupid and unfunny version)

Despite the fact that Tom had been going long before jackass?


I think he's hilarious!

Molly

Freddy got fingered was incredibly stupid but incredibly funny, and his show was pretty good, but i wouldnt call him a genius

doubledown

He's an annoying genius!

Baz_

genius, get a sense of humour liek

Tom Green is very funny. there is loads of things he has done that i will never forget. i still laugh thinking about him throwing piggy down the hill . i thought he was great in Road Trip too.

Ah, what does that have to do with it?-)

DrunkLeprachaun

I'd have to say Atari Jaguar.
I liked Freddy got Fingered, but the show annoys the hell out of me.

Well, thing this is: "a dumbed down, completely stupid and unfunny version" tends to insinuate 'Rip-off!"

Actualy, the word 'Version' does it alone.
Tom Green was doing it way before Jackass.

I was watching Jackass today, and saw the "Shark-hugging" skit, and all I could think was "Tom Green Rip-Off!"

PiE

Yea, damn right. Jackass was just the next step after what Tom Green started.

I lub him to bits.

IRISHLILY24

I think he has had a few good moments, but all together I think he is not funny and is a jackass. But that's just my opinion.

Yes well it's quite obvious I didnt intend it as such, wouldnt you say?

How? there both variations on the same theme.
Here's an example, DivX version of a movie and Mpeg version, how does that insinuate one is a copied from the other?
Does it not just mean that as I said above, they both have a similar theme?

No **** sherlock....

I was watching Jackass today, and saw the "Shark-hugging" skit, and all I could think was "Tom Green Rip-Off!" [/B]

So....., that has what to do with the topic or even my post?

When he's funny hes really good, but he only hits the entertainingly funny target 10% of the time. The crippled guy falling over non-stop is great tv, and I have to agree that jackass ripped some of his stuff off.

Tom wants to be the new Andy Kaufmann, but he never will be.

Well if I made the mistake in the first place, I'd say no, it wasn't that obvious.

We're not saying two different versions of one thing.
DivX and Mpeg are both a version of something.
When you say "a dumbed down, completely stupid and unfunny version." It's completely different to saying "Two versions of one thing."

When considering a film, there might be an edited version, which would obviously be different to the un-edited.

Well, seeing as you yoursel say Jackass is better, it's great to know where the show rips off it's ideas from. How can you NOT consider that to be relevant?

Well it depends...did you convert the DivX from the Mpeg or the Mpeg from the DivX? cause it's the same movie and I think yo ulost yer poitn somewhere back there when the arse fell outta your argument ;P

When you say "a dumbed down, completely stupid and unfunny version." It's completely different to saying "Two versions of one thing."

I said two different variations of basically the same theme, and they are, otherwse how could one rip off the other?

Well, seeing as you yoursel say Jackass is better, it's great to know where the show rips off it's ideas from. How can you NOT consider that to be relevant?

I still dont see how this hass relevance to either
a)I find jackass funnier, where it gets it material, why should I care?
b)Is Tom Green funny or a twat.

*Sigh*
You say that Tom Green was a VERSION OF Jackass.

NOT that Tom Green was and Jackass are BOTH a version of SOMETHING ELSE.

You're point about DivX/Mpeg is irrelivant.

Seeing as you say that you find Jackass funnier in a thread about Tom Green, it is completely relevant to point out that Jackass is ripping off Tom.

Yes please dont read my post and just draw conclusions from what you want to believe. You know there's a little something we can do in the english language called comparing? Your free to suggest what word you think I should have used.
So if I had of said;
Jackass is to Tom Green what Trigger Happy TV is to Rum.
(ie a more intelligent, and funny version)
It would all be magically alright?
Get a clue please, when comparing you use words like version ffs.
I could quite easily list a 100 examples....
Also the English language is very ambiguous and as I said above dont just read what you want to see, read what it is written.

NOT that Tom Green was and Jackass are BOTH a version of SOMETHING ELSE

And where did I say that? Saying there variations of the same theme doesnt mean that, at least not in english...

Seeing as you say that you find Jackass funnier in a thread about Tom Green, it is completely relevant to point out that Jackass is ripping off Tom.

No it isnt, if I like something, I really dont give a **** what's it's based on/ripping off/inspired by, I like the program and that's it.

Christ... You don't seem to understand what I'm saying.

I know already what you MEANT.
What I'm saying is that I thought you meant SOMETHING ELSE.
And explaining HOW I took it like that.
Do you get it!?

God, what is this crap about "What I want to beleive"?

No, I'm talking about your comparison of DivX and Mpeg.
Whereas they're each a version of one movie, tom green and jackass are not two versions of one thing.

I'm saying that your comparison is ****E!

I don't give two ****s if you care or not, it's relevant.

i used to think he was really funny but now i think hes really stupid. The way he does all that crap to his parents and stuff. He just a fool. Jackass on the other hand is a classic show, its pure funny!!

What the **** is the difference?
On Jackass, this guy repeatedly beats his dad while he's in bed?
I've seen about 10 of those. Not to mention all the other things he does to him.

Everyone's going around praising Jackass, but it was Tom Green who done it all first.
It's like some trend.
"OH! YEAH! TOM GREEN!!!"
Now it's:
"OH! YEAH! JACKASS!!!"

FS.

Jpaulik

At least Tom turned up and accepted his Golden Raspberry for freddie Got Fingered being so dire. Fair play.

-oRnein9-

Tom Green just an idiot a complete fool thats all I have to say>:)

koneko

Funny at first. But his style/humour got really old... really fast. Only appeals to 12-year-old boys now.

Kalina

He's extremely annoying but the statue of his parents shagging on their front lawn was halarious. You kinda have to feel sorry for his parents though.
