Tom Green: Inside and Outside the Box (1997)

There isn't an "extreme" comedian or comic troupe that doesn't owe a debt to Tom Green, the original prankster, who fathered the genre back in th' day at a community access channel in his home town in Ottawa. It soon grew to a national hysteria when the

THIS SHOWS THE VERY BEST OF TOM GREEN

I have always been a fan on Tom Green and this box set is everything you will ever need. From his delightful interviews with locals to his halarious skits. This box set has everything! IT'S GREAT! SO BUY IT! April 25, 2008

Great fun again and again!

Tom Green is one of the few people out there that can pull of material like this. This set is worth every penny. Just sit back and watch Tom serve kool-aid to a UFO cult. If this doesn't make you laugh, you must be dead. November 4, 2007

Not at ALL what I was expecting!!!

I ordered this set because I LOVED Tom Green in "Freddy Got Fingered". I remembered he had a show on MTV some number of years ago, but couldn't really remember it so I figured this DVD set would be packed full of laughs for hours on end. I was SOOOOOO wrong!

I got through about 8 episodes and had barely cracked a smile. There is no real basis to his comedy expect him standing in a public place yelling, making obscene noises, or rolling around on the ground. (I think someone else wrote almost the exact same thing on a previous review).

Brialliant

TG was truly brilliant in his early days. He fully deserved his skyrocket of success. Its easy to see why every comic wanted to imitate TG so bad he ended up changing the whole comedy game. TGs public access show is arguably his best stuff.

I just caught a random cameo by TG at a comedy show and had to accept the harsh reality that TG is no longer funny whatsoever. At least we have the memories and the DVDs. July 9, 2007

SOME OF THE FUNNIEST, EDGEY STUFF FILMED

THIS BOX SET HAS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE SETS THAT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT BECAUSE IT CONTAINS ALL THE EPISODES FROM TOM GREEN'S EARLIER WORK ON THE CANADIAN COMEDY NETWORK. IF YOU WERE LIKE ME THAN YOU WERE BLOWN AWAY BY THE MTV SHOW, AND THIS SET IS GREAT BECAUSE IT HAS MOST OF THE BITS THAT WERE SHOWN ON THE MTV SHOW. NOW, I SAY PARSE THIS ONE OUT A LITTLE AT A TIME, AND DONT JUST SPEND ONE DAY WATCHING ALL THE EPISODES OR THE SET MIGHT GET OLD ON YOU. TAKE YOUR TIME WITH IT AND TAKE INTO CONTEXT WHAT THIS GUYS DOING. THIS IS THE BEGINING OF OUTLANDISH REALITY COMEDY!
PS- ITS ALL ABOUT COW BRAIN BOATS MAN! July 3, 2006
