Am I the only one who looks at him, and wonders "Is this really funny?"? While the ability to piss people off can be useful, and even sometimes funny, it shoudn't be the basis of an entire TV show, movie, and general pop culture phenomenon. Guerrila Theatre has it's place, but it's not on MTV...

(Dear God, I must be getting old, the new pop culture icons hold no sway over my thought processes.....)

Tom Green (Canadian of course) is hilarious!!

Now, of course the sissyfied MTV version sucks, but the origionals on cable access and The Comedy Network in Canada are the best. They really tone down the stuff for the MTV version and I don't like it as much.
But, nevertheless, he is really funny.

Tome Green(e?) although annoying at times, I find to be mostly humorous. I mean, come on, some of the stuff he does is just...funny. Repaint his parent's car hood to porno pic?

I like Tom Green. But I hate pop/modern rock. icky. Howling Syn/Blind Guardian/Cynic Project all the way! BTW, those are all mp3.com bands, and if you want some linkage, just ask.
