Tom Green is a Genius

Tom Green is insane.... he's an insane genius.

This is a trailer for his finest piece of insanity.



He got that movie made. Tom Green made a movie where he cuts open and wears a dead moose carcass. A movie where he grabs a horse's penis and exclaims that he is a farmer. This was before the internet.

This is a brilliant movie. This is an honest movie of a loser/slacker that does good eventually. But it has some of the most daring gags in comedic movie history. This film is a cult favourite for a reason. It constantly questions your sense of taste in comedy, whether you find an idiot flinging a baby around in the air by its umbilical cord funny. It's shock humour at it's finest.

This movie was released in 2001, 11 years ago. Many years before everyone had high-speed internet and before online memes and communities were established places where people talked to each other. PRE-4CHAN era of the internet.

That's not the only thing he got paid to do. He recorded this song as a joke for his show and got it on TRL. He was then asked to retire the song because it was too popular and they had to promote the new Usher song. Because you know... the music industry is that shallow and greased by label money. Well I'm talking it by his word on the Joe Rogan Experience... frankly I can believe that story.



Tom Green actually had that song voted for by thousands of people. It was number 1 for a week until he was forced to retire it. Being retired on TRL isn't a big deal I guess... It's the fact that he made it there in the first place is amazing. If anything the early retirement from TRL adds to its brief but somewhat inspiring legacy as a joke song.

He does Stand-Up now. In his early stand-up he uses the ultra troll technique. He feeds off people's hatred in the early years. Hell it's just funny watching the crowd slowly turn on him.



However Tom Green is a Genius... His 2010 material and act is hilarious. Its so current and up to date with the problems of today. I never thought Tom was actually this insightful. He's a funny guy when he isn't trolling for laughs, he genuinely earn them the old fashioned way of clever observation comedy.



Tom Green actually has some talent hidden under the veil of insanity. He has good stand-up material. He's a half decent skateboarder and he's also a pretty fierce rapper.
Here is a video of Tom Green Battle Rapping Xzibit. I forgot famous rappers had to prove their were capable of battle rapping white Canadian comedians.

No seriously, Tom Green is pretty damn good at rapping... I can't emphasis how good he is.



Tom Green is one talented insane genius.
