Endangered Feces - The Very Worst of The Tom Green Show
Let's begin by being clear that theEndangered Fecesin the title of this best-of compilation find an all-too literal realization about halfway into this painfully hilarious DVD. Of course, we mean "painful" literally too: Tom Green has one of those senses of humor that makes you cringe in horror while laughing yourself to hysterics. Funnier yet is to watch Green's parents respond. They're so used to his over-the-edge pranks that they greet graphic lesbian pornography painted on the hood of their car or a housefullof barnyard animals with a certain blasé, we've-seen-it-all reserve. The DVD features a full palette of Green's repertoire, from staggering drunkenly about town at night in drag to a guitar ballad sung at the tattooed buttocks of his best friend. One of the funniest, and more sophisticated, stunts involves hanging a painting he made on a blank wall in Ottawa's National Gallery and returning a week later to distress museum visitors by adding details to it with a Magic Marker. Needless to say, Green spends a fair amount of time on this DVD running from security guards. The DVD extras include outtakes from Green's appearances onOpen Mike with Mike BullardandThe Dini Petty Show. Definitely not for everybody,The Very Worst of Tom Greenwill bring some of you to tears laughing--and you know who you are.--Erik Macki
