Tom Green: MTV forced me to retire my #1 song

[@mikeh8530]

I don't think people realize how brilliant Tome Green is... He was a trailblazer for so much of what is 'normal' today.

[@JohnnyPerth]

Very true, from audience reaction, to podcasts , online guests etc

[@funkymunky]

​@@JohnnyPerth Pranks and skateboard culture too... He was doing "J*ck*ss" before it was a thing.

[@Beastie_Boy33]

'the tom green show' from the 90's on mtv was groundbreaking. the bits when he messed with his parents were absolutely hilarious

[@djredshow]

He was a good farmer.

[@BackToTheGame.98]

His stuff was so far out there back then. I think a lot of "normie" people didnt get it. But a lot of the younger GenX and Millenial crowd totally loved it because it was so different.

[@devilkillerthemonarchofhop7943]

This is the most genuine and authentic I’ve ever seen Tom Green.

[@AndrewAlex92]

Music can do that

[@bluepandaman]

He’s been posting normal stuff for many years.

[@Noone-jn3jp]

I watched the other parts where he talked about the farm and I was like “oh tom kinda leveled out” Halfway through “THERE HE IS”

[@jimiverson6171]

i was 12 or 13 at the time, had over 600 songs on NAPSTER, the original, and bum bum song was on the list for sure... Man i feel old now. Tom Green was always one of my favorite comedians

[@brianj4090]

I love Tom Green so much. I don't call many people a genius but I sincerely think he is one.

[@joshvanhoorebeke]

Damn, my ultimate goal now is to make beats with Tom green! What a legend. Super dope studio setup!

[@bryans4891]

20+ years ago when he put those statues of his parents outside their house had to be the funniest thing on tv up until that point

[@theshapeexists]

I loved when he painted his dads car into the "slutmobile". He embarrassed his dad so much in that episode

[@keglimp]

I remember that hahHhAAHAA&!&!HAHAhaha

[@GideonSC2]

I was really hoping he was going to sit down at the piano and start blasting "daddy would you like some sausage!?"

[@soulslip]

haha same

[@ryancampbell955]

Yes! That randomly popped into my head the other day and I started singing, "Daddy would you like some sausage?" And my daughter started asking me about what I was singing, then she started singing it too. She had no idea what it was lol. Good times.

[@atruceforbruce5388]

Daddy would like some sausage , daddy would you like some sausages, daddy would you like some sausage.

So cool, currently building an off grid cabin and can relate to his new song.

[@tylermrhandon]

The bum bum song is still one of the most influential pieces of music I’ve herd in my life. Had my cracking up as a child.

Tom Green uses Ableton.

[@erikkibler3466]

Def was

[@tjhall9377]

He was absolutely one of the very, very few people in the mid 2000s who was live streaming the host/guest format independently from the networks online, when the speed of the Internet at that point was barely able to keep up with a tiny ass 240p/480p live video. Before the iPhone was even released, for reference Massive respect to just tossing it all to the wind and seeing what would stick, especially after the hand he was dealt with cancer. 10 years later it becomes one of the most popular forms of entertainment.

[@stevemuzak8526]

Back in the day Tom Green did it all. He did jackass before jackass, he did podcasts etc.

[@garfoonga1]

He invented podcasting

[@AmountStax]

Then another brilliant move, buy a bunch of land and get the f*** out of the city.

[@tjhall9377]

He was doing the public pranks around the same time that Bam Margera was doing pre-Jackass under the CKY moniker. But Tom Green definitely precipitated the popularity of Jackass when it premiered on MTV. The self-contained Internet broadcast was truly groundbreaking though - doing live streaming or any equivalent of podcasting today with technology from the mid 2000s was a massive undertaking on a totally untapped market at a time when Skype was barely functional as a webchat/call service.

[@AmountStax]

@tjhall9377 tom green show premiered in 1994, cky 1999.

[@jesses5465]

Been waiting 20 something years for Tom Green comeback.

[@BaldHeadedManc]

He never left, has been doing stand-up most the time and making videos.

[@garfoonga1]

Comeback? You never went to his website or youtube channel once in twenty years?

[@MelodicMizeryPs3Vids]

i hope one day when were all gone, history actually recognizes tom green as a trendsetter and how hes the first to do alot of things and also in general do many things. he basically created podcasting, he kinda pretty much created going in public and doing jokes consistently which shows like jackass kind of followed, he was in a rap band on mtv as a teen, he makes his own music and its pretty good, he wrote his own movie and directed it, dude is a legend but since hes generally labeled as just a comedian i dont think the world takes him seriously

I remember being on acid when the Tom Green show came out

[@llcooljake4]

@@Salsa_Shark You'd be surprised how many people watch KZbin videos and they don't know the past history about it. I saw Tom Green live at a comedy club a few months ago, and he plays his keyboard live there. He played Bum Bum, Daddy Would you like Some Sausage, some other fun tunes, and then asks if we want to hear anything else. I yelled out "Piggy Hill." He laughed, then played it. No one else reacted but Tom and me. That was his second biggest hit after Bum Bum! Why were all those people there to see him when they knew so little about him?
