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.

Thats not that bad and his dad knows its just a joke. Tom Green always takes it too, like with the statue and then the interviews where he asks his parents about there sex life and all of types of crap. Tom Green just takes most of his just too far.

(ie a dumbed down, completely stupid and unfunny version)

bro, trigger happy tv is to comedy, what aids is to people.

I watched 2 hours of tom green on mtv last night, and i nearly died laughing. The part where he trys to make glenn sick is great.
And drinking the milk from the cow..........ughhhh!

I'd go with just plain annoying.... the moose thing??? What was that all about?
Never been a big Tom Greene fan.

Some times he is funny like when he does sketches with Glen. But when he goes into peoples workplaces and causes trouble he gets annoying. :cool:

I have to say it celt, but i agree totally with Angelwhore, i got the exact same impression he did when i read it. Your posts are mostly bs ramble after that.

I like tom green, hes damn funny tbh, same with jackass, they both make me pish myself tbh

Tom Green is to comedy what McDonalds Hot Dogs are to food - he's cheap, nasty, leaves a bad taste in your mouth and is ultimately nothing like the real thing.

It's vaguely saddening that his show is now popular in Europe, having seen it on stateside TV I'd kinda hoped he'd stay there and we'd be clever enough on this side of the Atlantic to ignore him. Oh well. I guess some folk have a bit more thick-American gene in them than we'd all like to think.

That's the whole point!
It's meant to make you go "Man! That's just going WAY overboard!"

It's funny when Tom says to his Dad: "You come home from work, tired and hungry, and all you want is dinner. But dinner wasn't always ready, was it dad? You'd come home and ask 'Where's dinner?' wouldn't you?" - "Yeah, I guess, I'd say where dinner?" - "Ok, so you come home and say 'WHERE'S MY DINNER BITCH!' Wouldn't you?"

It's funny as hell!

And it's pretty much the same idea in Jackass: Going too far.
I mean, you wouldn't ask you parents those questions.
And neither would you take a baseball bat, and club your dad's arse with it!


Just don't be under any illusion that those parents don't go home with a big fat pay-check.

I mean, do you honestly think a grocery store would let someone ride a cow into the store unhindered? Not even a security warning? Even when the cow is eating all the cabbages and things?

...Didn't think so...

Tom Green is brilliant and very funny. His sense of humour is right up my street and I love his show.
