Never saw it. Could it be that bad?

[Pharmboy]

He was funny (as the campus tour guide) in Road Trip. I think the problem starts when he writes his own material. He's more weird than funny.

Glad to See Sly is still holding up his high standards.

[MotleyGirl70]

Road Trip was funny.

The Tom Green show was funny too.

Some of the scenes on The Tom Green Show had me in tears.

[Skooz]

I missed that one also. This is why I am so careful about paying to see a movie. My wife and I went to see "Lord of the Rings" Friday night and cost $6.75 apiece + $7.50 for popcorn and coke. I cannot see spending that kind of cash to see a lousy movie.

I hate him. I have to change the channel whenever his smug face appears.

If I ruled the Universe, he'd be sodomized by zoo gorillas, repeatedly, live, 24/7.

Me too! It was strange--I would be laughing so hard I could not breath and yet I was thinking: "That's not funny, it's stupid. This is retarded. What am I laughing at?" All the while convulsively laughing to the point of almost falling down. His comedy (on the Tom Green Show) makes me kind of schizo that way.

I have to say, my respect for the guy went up after I heard he showed up to accept the award in person. If only everyone else in Hollywood had a sense of humor about themselves..

[Skooz]

Agreed. Everyone in Hollywood takes themselves Ssssssooooooooooo seriously as if what they do is Ssssooooooooooooo important. When, in fact, it would be hard to imagine anyone else on earth whose contribution to the world is less significant.

[Pablo64]

Tom Green is a pathetic, no-talent, hack who is desparately seeking any attention he can get (very much like Michael Moore). He confirmed that opinion for me when he was guesting on SNL and kept trying to tongue-kiss his dad (his parents were both in the audience). Showing up to get this award once again demonstrates his infantile need for attention.

[HDawg]

It's what the critics call the Curse of the Farrelly Brothers: ever since Kingpin and Something About Mary(both very good movies), many have tried to copy their brand of gross-out humor and comedic wit, all unsuccessfully. Good American comedies are few and far between.

[Skooz]

I can't say that I disagree with you. My point in posting this story was to highlighte the Razzies, which provides a nice alternative to the Oscars, which accentuates Hollywood's smug self-importance to a nauseating degree.

I think the Razzies should be televised and the Oscars relegated to page 12 of the Entertainment section.

[tupac]

Have to disagree on them both being very good movies, adequate entertainment with bits of belly laughs thrown in for good measure only. Had to wince too many times watching them.

[jalisco555]

Unfortunately I have to agree with the award to Charlton Heston. Time to retire from acting, Chuck, and stick to the NRA fulltime.

[IronJack]

Tom Green is as funny as Ray J. Johnson, and has none of the former's staying power. Unless Drew Barrymore can hook him up, he'll be parking cars within a year. And if the fleet's in, she'll probably be too busy to help much.

[IronJack]

Touche!

[IronJack]

Here's a link to a piece that's two years old, but still relevant, I think.

[Sci Fi Guy]

It was worst. Green knew it too. In the movie someone holds up a sign "when will this S#$@ be over??

[catonsville]

He lost his testicles to cancer, lost his show to low ratings, lost his house when it burned down ( he was saved by to barking of a mutt he just adopted) and lost his wife Drew Barrymore to her lesbian girlfriend.

I found his show hysterical.
