Wound back...yea definitely

It’s called kineticized potentialism. It’s actually a real, albeit a purely conjectured theory for the indolent to accept. It’s extremely rare and they’ve yet to find a perfect example of the phenomena in every day, all day life. So, Supinely realize that you, your self, has the potential to learn or in most cases not learn something new every day… and yes, although rare, occasionally even every night .

@@graxjpg yep, because if things keep going the direction it’s been going over the last few years, watching anything with norm will be one long censorship beep.

But the 90’s material will without a doubt be censored at some point (the gay, race humor comes to mind)… believe me, I’ll never understand how/why words, or jokes using the words cause pain, but I come from the time of “change the channel/turn it off” if something bothers you (which is apparently an option that no longer exists)

Now I'm picturing Norm at midnight playing video poker and watching Tom Green

[@HintOfLogic]

This episode is a priceless time capsule. Not only is it two comedic geniuses, but it's further proof that Tom Green is a true GOAT in modern entertainment. This was almost 15 years ago and at a time when the internet was still a virgin and off-script talkshows were unheard of. Look at all of the modern, candid (video) Podcast that make up the majority of youtube celebrity and high view volume. They've become almost exactly what Tom was doing before it was commonplace. Tom's such a pioneer on many levels... including the candid street trolling comedy that's made many youtubers popular today. Props to Budweiser too for what it's worth. They were early in on endorsements through self-made entertainment where these days those companies get in line and throw themselves at social media influencers. Thanks for this upload!

[@ponyboycurtis007]

Amen brother. Despite being from Ottawa at this point I had forgotten about Tom Green to a certain extent but then the writers strike got this show put on The Comedy Network up here in Canada and I got to fall in love with him all over again.
