Tom Green: Live

If don't remember driving down the freeway and getting a nice long piece of 8 track stuck to your antenna, then this might not be for you. Most of this stand up is a comparison of things and the way things used to be when were kids and the way things are now. Love Tom or hate him, this will bring back some nostalgic moments.

Subjects range from the internet to porn, jobs, reasons for drug legalization, death and his own battle with cancer (and a few off the wall moments).

It has me laughing the whole time. Anyone around the age of 40 should check this out, you'll find something you may have forgotten about or too embarrassed to want to remember : D

This is like a bad stand up comic. Tom on stage live with a stool ranting about technology when he was a kid and how it has changed, and how we look at TV and celebrities. He has some decent jumping off points but mostly he just clumsily sets up premises and then goes off on tangents with some pretty bad and obvious jokes. What's really annoying is that when stuff doesn't get a lot of laughs he just yells the same punch lines he just said louder, repeating them or making noises and doing his rubber face act to make the audience laugh out of discomfort or because they know they're supposed to. This is a pretty sad video, whether you like Tom Green or not (I love him) this is one that you should skip, it only makes him seem less funny.

He is looking a little aged, his eyes a little saggy... but Tom Green is as quick, clever and witty as he ever was -- maybe even more than he used to be (the most weird aspects of his personality seem to have toned down, which may not be a bad thing).

This is less of a stand-up comedy routine and more of a story about how technology changes and Green stays the same, and about his life up to this point. He covers his history, and even if you know it, it sounds a bit fresh. He has a natural humor about him that makes stories fun. Oddly, of all the history, he never mentions Drew Barrymore...

Would I see Tom Green live? After watching this, yes I would. I think he still has the potential for greatness, and I would love to see him make a comeback. In some ways, he was the gateway drug that allowed folks like Bam Margera to become stars.
