Some of the stuff on Jackass was truly avant garde at the time. I specifically remember the coffin falling out of the hearse skit. So simple yet so brilliant.

Tom green was even ahead of them. Who can forget the air brushed lesbians on his dads car, his dad deciding to take the bus to his government job, and then Tom trying to pick his dad up at the bus stop in the car.

Tom Green was the world's biggest troll even before the internet was a thing.

Yup, one can even argue that he was one of the progenitors of podcasts with his Internet show in the late 2000s. It's where Joe Rogan got his inspiration.

If you enjoy cringe comedy, I recommend Tom Green's Tokyo Subway Monkey Hour. IMO his finest work.

The juxtaposition of his excessive annoying nonsense with a nation of extremely polite friendly people is hilarious as it is mortifying.

Tom Green making polite Japanese people reciprocate his bow 20+ times in a row never fails to make me laugh

My favorite was undercutters pizza, where he would follow pizza delivery guys, then beat them to the door and offer a lower price. He carried the toppings around in a tackle box to be added.

Thanks, actually very funny, especially when people rush in to help.

That one was amazing.

I also love the one where they convince the one guy to wear a shock collar by telling him it's audio gear.
