This Is the Tom Green Documentary

This documentary on Tom Green was so good. I started watching it as background noise, but found myself glued to the screen within the first fifteen minutes of the show. Tom takes us all the way to the very beginning of his career and gives you back all those feels you had when you watched The Tom Green Show as a teen. (Talk about some nostalgia!) I laughed out loud and I got choked up. I loved how he went through what happened with the show and why he is the way he is now - and it made me appreciate him even more. A must watch for anyone who loved Tom in the 90s and can relate to the process of growing up and going through life.

If you ever were a Tom Green fan this documentary about himself, directed and written by himself is definitely great fun to watch.

It's somehow really heartwarming as well, because Tom (however idiotic he might be), Tom had a dream to become as famous as David Letterman and although he didnt reach THAT kind of stardom, he did get to host the David Letterman Show and he did get to hear from so many people in the entertainment industry that he was their inspiration, like JackAss and Joe Rogan!

If for some reason (being young) you never heard of Tom Green you gonna have a good time watching it as well and look up some old shows of him on Youtube because this man sat comedy on fire back in the nineties!

What a guy! What an incredible journey into comedy. And he is still rockin' till this very day, now living in his homecountry Canada, but still performing live, at which he excells!

I remember watching clips from the show and occasionally I would find a whole episode. People were divided between liking Tom Green and Andy Dick show. For me as an introvert it felt liberating to see him make fun of human behavior and authority. I loved how he pranked his parents, because they are the most calm and loving people. There was never any over the top reaction from them, like with Bam Margera's parents. Of course, most of the studio interaction was trash but it was sprinkled with sketches which many of them were brilliant. Freddy got fingered is one of the craziest comedies of all time.

Years and years ago when he jumped onto the scene I found him to be funny but too silly for my liking. I watched other movies and followed different comedians. But I found the house swap from the big city to the ranch intriguing.

I am SO happy I gave it a chance. His parents are endearing and he is a level headed really good dude who has a good story that I didn't know, but I do now, needed to be told.

I don't want to give anything away. Just watch it. He is living his best life now. Something we should all aspire to.

If you would have told my younger self I would one day tear up at the end of a Tom Green production I would have called you crazy.

The Tom Green show was a pivotal aspect to my childhood and developing my sense of humor, so I was thrilled when amazon announced they were making a documentary about it. This show had such a big impact on comedy and prank humor that I can't believe it's not highlighted or talked about more in this day and age. We would not have jackass without this man. It seems like the general public is completely unaware this show existed or the impact it had, and I can happily say Amazon did Tom Green justice with this documentary. I had no idea that it started out on public access tv and it was amazing to see his journey bringing it to a major network. It had me laughing hysterically at the old skits and even brought me to tears at one point. Tom Green was such an important figure in comedy and it's a shame he doesn't get the acknowledgment he deserves. He is far too humble to boasts his contribution, so I'm glad Amazon put some much needed spotlight on him. If you're a fan of comedy, prank humor, or reality TV this is a must watch.
