that was brilliant. that's a comedian thing, to open with material with the mic on stand, and then take the mic off and get more informal. he satirized the whole process perfectly
I love how the audience breaks into applause when Tom first grabs the mic, thinking the opening was just some kind of weird stunt to get their attention... but then he just continues on with the noises - the looks on their faces! :)
At least we want nobody to forget this part! It's important. Nowadays everyone is so much more sensitive and pc. Try not to offend anyone. Where did we go wrong, I wonder? And why do we just notice that so late?
I would love to hear, what Joe Rogan thinks of this actually. He said it so often, that he thinks, Sam Kinison was so wild and crazy and the goat. But compared to this?? Fucking lol...
This is performance art that was way ahead of its time and beyond criticism. I can't stop rewatching it right now, it's so good. I think, I'm actually gonna sit down and write a whole paper about this thing...
I'm pretty sure this is exactly how it aired on MTV back in the day, even though it may not seem like that. I was there, I witnessed the original back in the day!
@@chanceneck8072You were actually there in the audience and witnessed this live?? If so, I am so envious!! Wasn't this aboard a cruise ship in the Bahamas?
@@alecturner1811 No, I meant, I was there when they AIRED this for the very first time. Sorry if I phrased that confusingly, it wasn't my intention. However, when you read the context very carefully, it should seem clear enough...
I mean, it kind of makes sense that this remains as a piece of its time, because I'm pretty sure that Tom just matured naturally too much to be able to still do stuff like this. This is the kind of shit, you can do best when you're still young, wild and crazy. Life makes you wiser but it also makes you slower...
Yep, also! But I did actually see this originally on TV way back in the day. I think this must have first aired either very late 90s or early 2000s....
Idk, to me it's definitely Tom. The room could have been totally empty and I would have still laughed my ass off... The people's reactions is just the icing on the cake maybe...

This is funnier than 90% of stand ups today.
ENCORE!!!!!!
Lol, it really is
its funnier than his actual stand up, when he is taking it seriously.
I think he was making fun of the industry all together when he said "but seriously"
100% more like
I'm being 100 percent serious. This is genius and one of the funniest things I've ever seen
JOSHUA. JOSHUA.
Lmmfao
20 some years later i am still wondering who the @#$% is Joshua
Hey nice to meet you
This still makes me laugh after all these years
Same. Haven't seen this in like what, 20 years? Priceless. I feel so good right now...
1:49 "but seriously"
Best part of this is Humplick looking like he's about to piss himself in laughter.
"but seriously...."
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Ooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! 😅🤣
2:27 "Take him back to the hospital!!!" LMAO
At 1:05 he pauses to unhook the mic and the audience claps thinking that was just some weird intro, then he jumps right back into it 😆

Priceless
This is art
Gotta love Glen at 1:30 trying not to laugh his ass off
ahahhah!!! XD never noticed that! now *i'm* tryin not to laugh at the office hahhahahah
haha well spotted
That's exactly what I wanted to point out... Lol
This is one of the all time best bits ever. I remember this from when I was a kid.

@burteriksson
Btw, was it really the 00s already? Are you sure?
I thought this was actually like the late 90s...
How Tom didn't bust out laughing at any time is a serious exercise in restraint. lol
😂
This is performance art that was way ahead of its time and beyond criticism. I can't stop rewatching it right now, it's so good. I think, I'm actually gonna sit down and write a whole paper about this thing...
can i read it
@@guessowii too late. It's been a year, no one seemed interested, I deleted it again... 🤷♂️
@@chanceneck8072write another one!!! Please we need to hear it!!!
I have watched this twenty times. And im still laughing hysterical
Same. Gonna watch another 20...
Tom Green is the goat of real comedy.
Lmao just keep clicking here back and fourth 1:50 until 2 and then 1:24 until 1 31
That particular segment of the show was a guest performance that went really really RIGHT!
I love how at 1:31 you can see Glenn laughing his ass off
Exactly!! 😂
"Take him back to the hospital"
1:31 I love how Glenn is fucking losing it in the background.
And don't forget Phil Giroux;) i miss the good old Tom Green Show on MTV:( Great times!!!
MMMStudios1000 He sued tom green so that his face would be blanked out on the show supposedly now.
Right? 😅🤣😂👍
Generation X is the funniest generation by far.
I liked the spattering of applause after the first round of noises he made
2:06 just look at the those people in the front row taking that in. Beautiful. This dude was a pioneer of trolling.
it's actually a brilliant commentary on the lack of substance in the comedy world
Lol that’s not what he’s doing 😛 he’s just being crazy for silliness’s sake
Tom Green really knew how to piss off a room full of squares and stiffs. Thank you! At the end was gold. His stand up is way funnier than Dane Cook.
I liked when 4chan pissed him off more
perfection
"Joshua!"
1:25 love how the dude on the left is smiling lmao glad at least someone in the audience liked it.
That was Joshua
@@dickbiggerjr3613 😂😂
Really carrying on the legacy of Andy Kaufman here
This was always the funniest sketch to me, it still makes me hysterical…Glenn at 1:30 just losing it in the audience is just great.
Dude was so ahead of his time ..
“But seriously” gave them hope them he crushed them again 😂😂
That is trolling to the 10th power
I wish there was a full unedited video of this.
I'm pretty sure this is exactly how it aired on MTV back in the day, even though it may not seem like that. I was there, I witnessed the original back in the day!
@@chanceneck8072 yes this is what aired. The original poster is saying that he wishes we could see the raw unedited video of the standup performance
@@dalisman Yeah, I see.
@@chanceneck8072You were actually there in the audience and witnessed this live?? If so, I am so envious!! Wasn't this aboard a cruise ship in the Bahamas?
@@alecturner1811 No, I meant, I was there when they AIRED this for the very first time. Sorry if I phrased that confusingly, it wasn't my intention.

He's got a ball of steel.
I use to keep saying Joshua when I was young cuz of Tom.
I'd pay good money to see the whole damn act.
I think, this was it.
I still shout Joshua on a weekly basis at coworkers, no-one knows why , JOSHUA!!
JOSHUA!
At 55 sec. "But seriously folks"....GODdom the PRiCE of the Godous ..Dick da the Goudus !!!
I lost it for the 3 or 4 time
Best attempt to translate it ive seen.
You are tha MAN!
1:29 Glen Humplick laughing his ass off.
As genius as Andy Kaufman, IF NOT MORE
Tom's career, in a nutshell
This was pure comedy and a social experiment...brilliant!
the most inspired incoherence i have ever witnessed
JACKED UP THE PRICE OF THE TOYS
at 1.51 it sounded like he was trying to sing hardcore...soooooo funny...
Sounded like it could be static x with the right beat.
I wish he still did this bit
I mean, it kind of makes sense that this remains as a piece of its time, because I'm pretty sure that Tom just matured naturally too much to be able to still do stuff like this. This is the kind of shit, you can do best when you're still young, wild and crazy.
Life makes you wiser but it also makes you slower...
it's so funny how uncomfortable everyone is😅😅😅
You would love cringe compilations
Also "watch people die inside" compilations. Those can be great, too.... 👍
Who remembers watching this on MTV? 😂😂
Right here! From Germany. Kept thinking about this throughout all these years, me and my brother, we had this thing recorded on VHS. It's iconic.
I was with my friends and we were all crying from laughing so hard
Here from MX . This is Gold
Omg, I actually found it. I've been thinking about this for decades...
I was pissing myself laughing! What a show! 🤣
JOSHUA‼️😅
That went really awesome!
"The threat is over..... For now!"
That's on my mom some of the best comedy I've ever seen in 24 years.AMAZING#LEGEND
"Ahhhh, blahhhh, uhgggg!" - TomGreenJoshua
Andy Kaufman called: he wants his style back
Joshua joshua errrarrghhh errraghhh
Still the funniest thing I’ve ever seen
this is incredible, tom was a modern day andy kaufman
Amen.
Modern stand up simply does not exist
1:31 you can see Glenn in the background laughing his ass off
1:30 Glen in background trying not to die
Funnier than Any Schumer.
Well, *DUH* ...
Best ever
2020 any1?
2021 😂
Yep, also!
But I did actually see this originally on TV way back in the day. I think this must have first aired either very late 90s or early 2000s....
What was the price of the dice?
The place and the place!! Joke was on them haha
Fuckin awesome
This is even more amazing when you have a pal named Joshua... ;)
This is basically Jim Breuer today but unironically.
Brilliant.
Classic bit
This was hilarious lol 😂
The audience is the comedy here....
Idk, to me it's definitely Tom. The room could have been totally empty and I would have still laughed my ass off...
The people's reactions is just the icing on the cake maybe...
@@chanceneck8072 Then we disagree Joshua...
I'm Glad Tom spoke to you in a way you get...
Art of the intercepting aaaargg
That sweet sweet 240p
Comedy Platinum!!
Social experiment long before those were even a thing...
Gotta get to the place!
Brilliant
An assault on mediocracy
Good set
Classic comedy lol!!!!!!!
the guy at 1:55...I totally lost it laughing
shit got serious at 1:50
I remember watching this on mtv back in like 2007 at 2am drunk with my friend and dying of laughing!!
Its still funny!!
This is great isn't it?
Correct. It's brilliant even.
Best skit
THEY TOOK YOUR DOLLARS
Genius
good old days.
Good old comments about good old days.....
Metametameta
Art
As absurd as it is, Tom Green knew something about entertainment and comedy most didn't when he was doing this stuff.
2:06 lol
It's his facial expressions
