For real. Me, as well. 💯 I would still get salty here and there before that I was doing stuff like this 30 years ago, and now all of a sudden it's popular in Internet mainstream culture. But, I was a Tom Green fan in junior high. The Tom Green Show was one of the best things that I looked forward to at that time (along with Attitude Era WWF and WCW).
@@Dev-In-Denver123 In Japan. Cause the Japanese tend to not bring so much attention to themselves and are generally respectful. They usually keep to themselves, and the stuff Tom did is like out of the norm. You seen how a lot of them was looking at him. America on the underhand, especially in New York City, there’s tons of coo coo for coco puffs people.
@@Dev-In-Denver123 been to japan more than once, and this isn’t true. I cringed the whole time watching this, because no one acts out in Public in japan. People are very to themselves. It would be very rare to see and tom Greene is simply being an obnoxious asshole
Tom Green seriously cures my depression and makes me forget the seriousness of this world. He makes me realise to chill out and have a laugh , stop taking things so seriously. Tom Green you’ll always be the reason for my happiness since I was a kid . Thank you so much
@@Medieval_Pheasant And what about America who has its fingers in every part of the world and is constantly at war? How about you f4t f6ck burgers being polite?
@@doorknob4029 Not sure when being "Non-Political" has ever stopped Gen Z, but tell that to every comedian who has had any female or racial joke from 15yrs ago dug up for no reason whatsoever. The fact you put Eric Andre in the same category as Tom Green is pretty telling though. You might as well put classic SNL on the same level as Tim and Eric if thats your standard.
After revisiting a bunch of Tom videos, I think I see him in a different light than I did during my childhood (where I was purely just entertained) - the man’s entire shtick is that he wants us to stop taking ourselves so goddamn seriously. Thanks for the reminder, Tom.
@@ListenToPumpkinMusic Like any type of "art", the meaning is what you take from it. I actually agree with the original commenter that Tom tries to make light out of serious situations, hence, going to a serious city like Tokyo and fucking around. Also, you don't understand the meaning of irony. "The expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect." Sure, Tom is an ironic guy, but how is the comment ironic? You're the missing the point, IRONIC. lmao
@@ListenToPumpkinMusic YES!! 100% Correct!! So many Zoomers today completely miss the mark on this style of comedy. There truly is NO hidden meaning. Much comedy was like this during the 90s, its more Absurdist than anything. No reason or rhyme. Just playing with the old comfort zones of repressed Japanese and embarrassing them.
friggin' randy with the backgammon boards and lightrails dropping the ball every god damn time when the show's about to kick off in the clarinova with the hockey sticks
before there was Conan, before there was Jackass, before there was anything about pranks or bothering random people on tv, there was The Tom Green Show!
@@donaldbarton6701not that I know of one day I'll get him to clue in. He did some stuff after Tom greens house, last I checked he was like a polyamorous dog man van life vlog guy??? haha at 45? idk haha was encouraging people to meet him on his travels. Trust me I thought of tracking him down as a gag just to ask, if I really wanted to I could I live in Canada and have some 6th degree relation to his family but it's a lot of effort and i'd definitely want to document it haha
This was the late 90s, we still had time.. in the us at least when sep eleven hapepend.. that just made super serious..and by the 2010s our obcession with japan and work culture took us over. Funny to see this now as an adult from when i was 7, but Japan was really us in the future. In the subway scene when he is making noise and singing, everybody there is way too serious. In New York in the 90s he would of had a sing along but todays gentrified new york he would have been looked at like a consp theorst. But if he did that in mexico city subway he would have had a good pop. But yeah the world really looks dark today, maybe 2020 changed that and made us refelect. But Tom Green show hits a different way when you see this episode and how much the world in the US has changed for the worse.
I always love this special, it's Tom at his best! @ 6:07- 6:13, Tom's laugh is HYSTERICAL! It has an almost snooty quality to it, but it still never fails to make me crack up, especially when he then follows it up with "YOU FELL ON YOUR BUM- BUM! YOU FELL ON YOUR BUM- BUM!" The very first time I saw this special, the intro @ 6:32- 6:37 made me say out loud, "Oh, this is gonna be good!" Nobody can annoy people (Intentionally) like Tom! Maybe after this, they should have had a special where Tom goes to London and turns his attention on those English guards that can't ever laugh or smile! The part with the "Japanese snow monkeys" (They're technically called Japanese macaques) is absolute gold! Though, in all seriousness, Tom and his crew are lucky they didn't get mauled while filming that.
Yeah Tom really plays up the obnoxious, clueless foreigner here to a hilarious extreme. When he whips out the megaphone to laugh at the guy falling on his bum-bum I just lose it.
Shortly before my weed days when I was young, I watched this. And to this day, not much has ever made me laugh so hard in my life. My point being, if I was high I probably would have died.
More of a profound enlightenment of the human psyche than it is humorous. TG is a more than just a comedian. The man is a poet of human behavioral sciences.
When he was new and people didnt know who he was or what he was doing was the best,, such great shock value it was hilarious. People are crazy now I wonder how far he could get with people now?
I love how whenever tom realizes someones english isnt great he just switches to talking straight nonsense to confuse them "Yes sorry i just thought randy from constantinople was coming over here with the backgammon boards full of lentil soup"

he's just annoying

Yea he's great. Love his new chill content with his Dad.

are you referring to Johnny Somali?

yeah Man Agreed ! Cheers
exact same here
for real well said. he slowed down and started living life to the fullest and most meta before any of us
I watched him make a pizza today
Same

Where is humor like this nowadays. I’m dying over here.
WE LIKE QUIET
I never thought I'd see this again.
The king of cringe comedy. When he laughed at ol' boy falling down the temple stairs, I lost it.
I like how he didn't miss a beat in laughing at him. Literally took him a single breath. That's Tom Green lol
This is not "cringe" comedy.
hard!!!
Laughed through a fucking megaphone 😭😭
@@GraemeGunn It is because it makes the audience *cringe* at the awkwardness of it all.
I love how Tom breaks at the guy talking about the ladies 'secret spot' 😂
I bet he absolutely gave his mom those for Christmas too.
Or slurping noodles near the start. He breaks lots in this.
"See mom, I told you I'd make it! I'm in Tokyo dressed as a fork vomiting"
I miss this guy on the air lol
haha lol so funny lol LOL
I'm happy he's on the comeback lots of love
Sweet, Green never dies
Check out his CZcams channel.. he puts shit out every other day, good sir!
Doing irl before irl, og
I like how the japanese clown managed to annoy tom green instead of the other way around

I have been looking for, and telling people about this special for years. Thank you!
Life is absurd, may as well play along like my man Tom.
Exactly
Even if a man in a Godzilla onesie shows up with a TV crew, taking off all his clothes, they still remain sincere.
Usually this kind of stuff would upset and embarrassed me, but when Tom does it it's just funny
This feels like a prelude to all the IRL twitch streamers. Tom Green was a pioneer on a few fronts.
i couldn't help but think the same thing rewatching this
ffs i miss the 90s
Tom Green "The Legend" and "The Ultimate Troll".
Today's world just doesn't understand.
surprised Tom made it back from this one.
.
definitely not his best stuff
It's Japan.... Not China...
it doesnt matter how many times you watch it is always funny.
Making you better feeling
@@2strokejunkie686 No, it is always funny. I laughed as much today watchng it at 37 years old as I did when I first watched it at 17.
Good to be back. lol. cheers. WHO LIKES POTATOES!? raise your hand!
It’s true it always makes me better feeling
@@Mr_Fourshot Lololololol
"Trolling is basically just causing confusion" - tom green
im pretending i dont understand but i do understand
"I disapprove of you" I'm sure he gets that alot 😂
This dude knew about ASMR twenty years ahead of time 4:02
Tom Green is a Pioneer.
This guys was awesome and way ahead of his time and im glad i got to grow up in my teens and early 20;s with him
I had this on DVD and used to watch it all the time.
Time was easier back then when we had tom green on our televisions
I need a time travel machine now
Me too, bud. Me too.
This special is such a good time capsule of what Japan was like fashion and style wise around 2000/2001.
Thank you so much for uploading a high quality version of this!
Entire world is so friggin uptight and all it took was a Canadian man with a goatee to show it to us 😂

25:14 it’s hilarious to see how long tom laughs. When he starts laughing the train is at the station, and when it cuts, the train is moving
I havent laugh this hard in a while, thank you
