My favorite bit was when he was laying under a black lady's car in camo. As she walked up a yelled on a bullhorn "I'm wearing camouflage, you cannot see me!" It scared the shite out of that lady.

Tom Green was ahead of his time in many things.

one of my favorites, truly groundbreaking.

Tom creating/inspiring the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast

Tom Green inspired Jackass, did lots of their bits first

Planking was a huge fad in the 2008-09ish era. Tom did it in 1994

There's much more but that's a great sample

Love Tom Green.

Random story, but my wife and I were walking around Venice Beach 3 years ago one Sunday morning and he was walking with a smokin hot chick who was carrying her heels and still had a nice dress on. Lol

I introduced myself and said I was big fan and he was very nice. He did very well that weekend

One of my favorites was when he did the stand up comedy show on a cruise ship, but just spoke gibberish the whole time. It was after his show had become popular so the people knew who he was, and they were excited to see him. He never stopped the gibberish and eventually they just kicked him off the stage. It was very Kauffman-esque

This is why I worry about the younger folks. Green just wasn't funny. He did lowbrow shite because he had no imagination

the young people of today's comedy comes from losers walking around doing scripted fake prank videos for social media, and even lesser-effort people like Tosh who play those videos then talk about them.

Green was a genius compared to these clowns.

One of my favorite skits was when he got a van drove a bunch of the audience members home. And he was going their homes waking up their parents. The parents started freaking out.

I remember thinking that my mom would probably have cooked us all breakfast and asked us about our day.
