In my book, the original Tom Green Show on MTV was the single greatest show of all time. Call me "immature", but to me, nothing is funnier than Tom riding in the back of a rickshaw on a busy street, wearing a British soldier uniform, screaming into a megaphone "OOOOOOUUUH!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUHHHH!!!!"

This mega set contains 3 packed discs, with 26 half-hour episodes of Tom's show on the Canadian "Comedy Central" equivalent, right before he went to MTV. While a lot of the clips were used on the MTV show, most of this stuff has never been seen by us Americans - including tons of in-studio stuff, with unsuspecting guests, Glenn Humplik(P.I.M.P), Phil Sher-ooo/Gear-Rocks/Giroux, and the poor studio audience. And holy (...)This is some of Tom's best! Tom was hungry, crazy, and had absolutley no fear back in these days - and it shows on this dvd set.

It's all here, from the "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOIN???" guy, to the dead raccoon mascot, bags of milk, singing with drunk people, dead moose humping, Jim Cab TV, wanton chainsaw & baseball bat destruction, cow brains(!), Brad Pitt, more bags of milk, Humplik's ass, weirdo French-Canadians, the slutmobile, cow teet sucking, messing with foreigners/old people, a sh*tload of maniacal screaming(my favorite) and sooo much more.


Special features include:

Nearly one hour of unreleased material - cut scenes, longer takes, unreleased segments, ect

Commentary track by Tom on one episode - but it goes long, ending with Tom talking on camera aboot the show.

"A note from Tom" A written piece about the show by Tom.


It's a shame Tom has scaled down his on-screen persona in recent years, because watching this stuff I laughed so hard I almost threw up... Pure comedic genius here, folks.

Bottom line: If you liked Tom's original MTV show, then there is no need to ponder, you must own this. 9+ hours of insanity for (...)? Don't think, BUY IT!!!

Let me start off by saying that when It comes to Tom Green you can either take him or leave him, love him or hate him. Either way you slice it there is no denying he leaves an impact with his audience; and lets face it as an entertainer that is your main goal: to connect with an audience. With that being said the old "Tom Green Show" that aired back in 98 on Canada's Comedy Network really set the standard for television today. The show was unique in so many ways: Freshly Original, Shocking, and at some points really stupid to the point that it was completly hilarious. You had to suspend disbelief to get past the crazyness, but once you did it made you realize there was somthing special about this show.

As for the set itself it is great!!! All 26 original episodes of the classic cult hit that includes many funny sketches that ran on MTV. However the funniest parts of the shows in my opinion were when Tom would get these unsuspecting guests for his show; which would start off as a regular interview, and would take a funny turn leaving the guests shellshocked.

As for the special features, over an hour of unseen material, and a special thank you message to the fans from the man himself; this was a really classy move proving Mr. Green knows where he came from and still has a connection with fans that the average Joe could appreciate.

At any rate this is a must for Old Tom Green fans, or someone who wants a change from the Mundane, boring same old same old.

Thanks Tom

THIS BOX SET HAS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE SETS THAT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT BECAUSE IT CONTAINS ALL THE EPISODES FROM TOM GREEN'S EARLIER WORK ON THE CANADIAN COMEDY NETWORK. IF YOU WERE LIKE ME THAN YOU WERE BLOWN AWAY BY THE MTV SHOW, AND THIS SET IS GREAT BECAUSE IT HAS MOST OF THE BITS THAT WERE SHOWN ON THE MTV SHOW. NOW, I SAY PARSE THIS ONE OUT A LITTLE AT A TIME, AND DONT JUST SPEND ONE DAY WATCHING ALL THE EPISODES OR THE SET MIGHT GET OLD ON YOU. TAKE YOUR TIME WITH IT AND TAKE INTO CONTEXT WHAT THIS GUYS DOING. THIS IS THE BEGINING OF OUTLANDISH REALITY COMEDY!
PS- ITS ALL ABOUT COW BRAIN BOATS MAN!

He paved the way for everything you guys do today. Bam is the biggest Tom Green thief (and I like Bam), but Tom was torturing his parents on video years before Bam even got his first camcorder. Tom Green's goofy interviews, his obnoxious public displays and his silly characters still make me giggle harder than anything on Jackass. I am 36 years old, but this box set has me in stitches every time I watch it. A TON of these clips were used on Tom's MTV show in the late 90's. In fact, the majority of Tom's MTV show was made up of the stuff that you will find on this excellent 3 disc set. Squid Suit, Feet On Fire, Processing Juice (...), Caramel Lovin' Hick, Celebrity Interviews, Officer Green, Torturing Parents Skits, Milking The Cow(s) almost every other skit you remember is here. The world needs more Tom Green and this set will keep you busy for days.

Hello, everybody, and welcome to my review of Tom Green: Inside and Outside the Box. This hillarious box set comes with 3 DVDs:
Disc 1: Episodes 1 - 10
Disc 2: Episodes 11-20
Disc 3: Episodes 21-26 + Bonus Features.
The episodes are from Tom Green's original TV show which aired in Canada on The Comedy Network in 1997. All these episodes are fully uncensored, uncut and outrageous.
The special features include over an hour of bonus sketches, commentary by Tom Green himself, and never before seen footage of Tom Green drinking water.
All in all, if you like Tom Green, get this box set. And if you don't like Tom Green, then read his autobiography and hopefully that will change your mind :)

I love Tom Green, dude just cracks me up, this is the show from when he was still in Canada. The intro song was way better then the MTV. Other then that it was just more of him being funny. If you like Tom Green you shouldn't be disapointed at all with this.

Tom Green is one of the most funniest comedians out there! This three disc set gives you tons of Episodes from his Canadian show before he went to MTV. They are hilarious! His friends Glen, Phil and Derek are on the show a lot, and there are tons of spots with him tormenting his parents... great stuff! If you are a fan of his MTV stuff, get this set, there is about 80% all new stuff that was never featured on MTV.

this is great. if you are a tom green fan and are thinking about purchasing a dvd this is it ....until MTV releases something....a lot of the clips on this set were use on the tom green show. bottom line THIS IS AWESOME BUY IT NOW! it took a lil bit for the package to arrive but it was worth the wait

Ever since we've been together, my boyfriend would talk about how he wished they would put the Tom Green Show on DVD. That immediately initiated my search. I found several sets, all with reviews saying it was only footage of stuff to make the show go, kinda like behind the scene stuff. I found this set and just went with it. He said these episodes are earlier episodes of the Tom Green Show before it hit MTV. He said these videos are funnier that some of the stuff aired on MTV.

I highly suggest it.

I have always been a fan on Tom Green and this box set is everything you will ever need. From his delightful interviews with locals to his halarious skits. This box set has everything! IT'S GREAT! SO BUY IT!
