Tom Green is a young Canadian man with a bizarre sense of humour. He
started his television career on local cable access in Canada, and then
his show was actually picked up by a Canadian comedy cable network.
After a while there, it was picked up by American's MTV.
Some of his ideas on what's funny include:
Taking a camera crew to his parents' home while they're out, and moving
out all the furnishings...replacing them with live barnyard animals...who
are not housebroken. (He then waited with the camera crew for his parents
to come home so he could show their reaction on his TV show. They are
seldom amused by such visits, and weren't this time either. I'll not
get into the life-size statues he once left on their lawn...depicting
sexual acts.)
Dressing up as a police officer, going into a dairy barn, and drinking
milk directly from the udder of a live cow. (This was the basis for
the above description of Colin doing the same.)
Going on national television with the news (and it seems this was legit)
that he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer...and turning the
situation into a subject for his show. This included having the camera
crew follow him...including into a restaurant...where he, while dining
with his parents and friends, repeatedly greeted other patrons with
"Hello...I have cancer and have to have one of my balls removed."
He went on to compose a song on how young men must perform certain self-examinations
so as to avoid needless loss of life...the song was NOT pretty, and
he not only sang it on his show in the studio, but also in live appearances
at college campuses.
His craziness is so all over the board, it's hard to give a clear description
of what he does. Just imagine the most embarassing, outrageous things
possible, and he will either humiliate himself in actually doing these
things, or drag other people (as mentioned, including his poor parents)
into the situation, and embarass and humiliate them.
THAT is a little of who Tom Green is. BE IN FEAR!!!!!!
