Tom Green is a very original comic.
It's clear that his style won't suit all tastes but in this time of political correctness, his stunts are wild and very, very original.
What Tom Green does is take an issue that upsets people and uses it to embarass them? He never takes any joy from this embarassment, instead he stands there staring at the person with a blank expression. He is a student of human nature. I think the comic that is closest to him was Andy Kaufman. Andy Kaufman hated going for the easy laugh. He was more interested into how the audience would react, whether good or bad, than giving them a cheap joke.
With Adam Sandler's comedy successful, but often routine and the Farrelly Brother's style becoming stale, Tom Green's wackiness is fresh. It's disappointing the American Public failed to appreciate the freshness. Tom, you're before your time.
