In this installation, the demigod Tomgreen, already removed one degree from the ancient myth by the T.V., finds himself removed a second time — reappropriated, redeployed. Locked into the video in the age of mechanical — indeed, digital — reproduction, our friend Tom finds that, in the postmodern age, his Herculean tasks have become more exacting — indeed, downright Sisyphean. Accordingly, he labours on, imprisoned in a digital, purgatorial state of unending cacophony, violence and emergency.
If you listen to Tom green's SModcastle shows, there is a good one with Norm where he talks about inspiring Jackass and bringing around a neo-candid camera style of comedy to TV, for the generation X.
Yes Bam ripped off Tom, but that should be no surprise as all of Jackass is a rip off of the Dudesons and Dirty Sanchez, both started the self abusing stunt thing years before an MTV wizard hired Knoxville et al to rehash the formers routines.
@idlehavok Bam in particular copied Tom. And the skits aren't as funny 'cuz Bam's parents wanted him to cash in on the stunts. Tom did these when he was on a cable access show, not MTV.

tom really is an asshole. but his parents can be forgiving considering his life is currently a massive torrent of fail. i mean, has anybody here watched his internet show?
Right because you would NEVER be able to come up with the idea of fucking with your parents unless you watched Tom-Green first. Give me a break. Just because one person does it on TV before another doesnt mean they are "copying them" Thats like sayin a new rock band is just copying led zeplin or some shit. its stupid.
Bam started this years ago, or didnt you know he released a whole series before viva la bam, jackass, tom green all of em...actually you could call him an innovator
Well if you want to be a technical asshole then I guess you failed too, because the show ran from 94 and ceased production in 2000. I was talking more about jackass than anything. But as far as tom is concerned his show wasnt picked up until 99, the years your talking about he was on a public access channel. It wasnt till his show was picked up by MTV in 99 that he gained popularity in the United States and worldwide. What im trying to say is he doesnt copy
Tom green was insane, He inspired me to act crazy. I consider him the man of his craft, no matter how crazy anyone else acts, like him, or hate him. some just think hes an asshole, I say, at least he got paid to act like one.
better than bam margera. Tom got some kind of style. bam is just going "messy". Got no ideas left? Well than just destroy the furniture with an axe at 3 am.
do you think Tom is the only one in the world who would come up with this idea?Bam enjoys doing it too so what?people who are watching his show seem to like it,besides that its not like Bam is repeating the same pranks Tom did,right?i never seen Bam using an extinguisher in his parents room. :)
