In This Is The Tom Green Documentary, the Amazon Original dives into the chaotic, hilarious, and deeply innovative career of a man who redefined comedy for a generation. This nostalgic time capsule takes viewers back to an era of absurdity in entertainment. Boundary-pushing antics were dominant. No one did it better than Tom Green.
For anyone who lived through his heyday or for those curious about the origins of modern comedy's wild streak, This Is The Tom Green Documentary is an absolute must-watch. Tom Green hasn't just inspired a generation-he continues to be a beacon for those unafraid to push boundaries.

Wow! I remember being a kid and seeing Tom Green and just being in awe of all the crazy things he did. This documentary just proves he was ahead of his time. And finally seeing the overdue recognition he deserves. Co-signed by the biggest people that are doing what he has done, after and now. It's amazing how time has passed and you sometimes "forget" these pioneers. I'm glad it came across my screen on Prime to see and be like "Ah! He was very that" and all the nostalgia that comes with it! It is definitely a good watch! I rarely make reviews but, I had to for someone that graced my TV screen often as a kid! Realizing it's literally what everyone has been doing for years now on the Web. But just to know now he basically started it all! Lol Best wishes in all Tom!
If you ever were a Tom Green fan this documentary about himself, directed and written by himself is definitely great fun to watch.
It's somehow really heartwarming as well, because Tom (however idiotic he might be), Tom had a dream to become as famous as David Letterman and although he didnt reach THAT kind of stardom, he did get to host the David Letterman Show and he did get to hear from so many people in the entertainment industry that he was their inspiration, like JackAss and Joe Rogan!
If for some reason (being young) you never heard of Tom Green you gonna have a good time watching it as well and look up some old shows of him on Youtube because this man sat comedy on fire back in the nineties!
What a guy! What an incredible journey into comedy. And he is still rockin' till this very day, now living in his homecountry Canada, but still performing live, at which he excells!

The Tom Green Show Documentary isn't just nostalgia. It's a quiet revelation.
Through home videos, candid interviews, and Green's own narration, the film peels back the layers of a man best known for 90s cringe.
What emerges is a portrait of an artist who turned absurdity into a vision and walked away to let the world catch up.
There's warmth in the way Green reflects, decades later. Archival clips take on new depth when framed by his current life. At his breathtakingly beautiful cabin. Reflecting with his parents.
The film argues, gently but persuasively, that beneath the intentional stupidity hides a sharp comic genius. One that shaped everything from Jackass to modern Late Night Shows to TikTok prank culture.
What sticks isn't the absurde clips. Though some still made laugh. It's the storytelling. In quieter moments. Being at Letterman. Getting older. Cancer survival. Burnout. He reveals a vulnerability that reframes his legacy. You're left marveling not at how wild he once was. But how human he's always been.

I'm not sure I would have heard about this documentary coming out if Tom hadn't appeared on Useless Farms playing Stan's piano, so thank you to Amanda and her chat for letting me know this happened!
As a loser kid without much going on, the Tom Green show changed my life. I remember seeing it on Canadian TV before it hit MTV and being so proud that Tom made it big. His show really started my interest in comedy and made bad days much better. I remember emailing Glenn after Tom gave out his email on the show, though Glenn rudely never responded, but I kept trying. Tom Green influenced so many artists and art forms that he was a true underappreciated gift. You almost forget without this documentary to remind you. Eminem absolutely wouldn't have been as famous without Tom Green. Being from Detroit, I'm not so proud of that part.
This documentary actually somehow made ME feel special for being allowed to grow up with this guy and be influenced by him. He helped shape the content I consume and how lucky am I that he could be such a creative genius. It's almost magical how naturally funny he is. I feel ashamed to say I've sort of forgotten about that time in my life and him as a result, but that's a mistake because he's definitely part of why I'm still alive. We're nothing without comedy and somehow Tom Green is one of few people to understand that and do something about it. I'm so jealous he gets to live on a beautiful farm now, even if it's in cold Canada. I have to go, I'm about to check out his stand up special now.
