  • Tom Green has cancer. It is early 2000, and he is about to go under because he would like to educate you on the world of testicular cancer, and if you can see his internal organs while doing so, so be it. And so there he is at 28 years old in a hospital gown, making jokes while medical professionals get ready to chop off one of his nuts. “This is going to fucking suck,” he says. But, if we know anything about him, it’s that nothing is off-limits for Tom Green. It was the ultimate combination of tragedy and comedy; you have a young man in his prime facing death while telling the world's greatest testicle joke. This comedian turned cancer into performance art, which made me believe God might have a twisted sense of humor... kinda like Tom Green himself.
    The dude revolutionized a breed of comedy that borders on anarchy, using the boob tube reveal just how wild and crazy the world can be... all you need is a warrior clown poet willing to go beyond the punch line. The comedy stylizing of Tom Green consists of gross-out reality-based chaos with flare from old-school hip hop and energy from punk rock skateboard culture. But are these jokes still funny? Was Tom Green misunderstood and ahead of his time? Was he trying to tell us something about the human condition through tom foolery and disgusting shenanigans? Is this man still out there influencing the masses? So yeah WTF Happened to...TOM GREEN?

      I put Tom Green in the same category as Wanda Sykes: They're either 100% on-point or 100% awful, with no in-between. Either the jokes land perfectly or they're so far off the mark that you wonder how they could possibly have a career in comedy. Not many comedians can manage that (and keep working).

    My first time with testicular cancer was when I was in Airborne school. Had one removed and did chemo. Second time was 14 years later, December 2022. They removed the tumor but left the rest.
    The second time was definitely worse. Especially since I was in a different country and they decided to give me some NSAID thats banned in several countries for damaging your white blood cells, instead of giving me medicine that would have actually made me comfortable.
    It wasnt until 2 days after the surgery, when I finally got home (after walking there) and took some kratom, that I finally felt good. Felt really good actually.... Greatful I had access to something to relive my suffering because apparently it was more of a concern that I didnt possibly get addicted or something instead of me not suffering... Next time maybe I just bring some damn heroin to the hospital with me when i have to have surgery....

    As mindless and silly as The Tom Green Show was, he was ahead of the curve in enterainment trends which would later materialize into big business (reality pranks, podcasting, streaming video etc). However, he never really seemed to profit off any of them. It goes back to the whole combination of "tragedy and comedy" as referenced in the intro.

    I never found him funny except that one time with the statue of his dad beating his mom on the lawn. 😂

    It was the worst and secretly best show during his time, just a few short years but he was a household name due to his antics.
