Fun!
A good buy for an old classic! This is a fun one to watch and it got here really fast!The funniest hour of television broadcast in the past 8 years
I've loved this special since I first saw it on MTV 8 years ago. You really have to have the exact right kind of sense of humor in order to appreciate this, otherwise you will most likely hate it. There really is no one else like Tom Green; he pulls off such childish, ridiculous, immature and often disgusting comedy in a way that I have never seen equaled or matched by any other comedian or actor. This hour-long TV special, as well as the movie Freddy Got Fingered, are really on their own platform that no one else has been able to touch upon and are great examples of Tom Green in his prime. Sure, there are other childish comedians and there are other horribly disgusting/offensive comedy movies, but they're always too obvious or only occasionally funny; with Tom's stuff, the laughs are constant.
I think Subway Monkey Hour may have been Tom's swansong; after around this time (2002) he sort of faded into obscurity and his few attempts at returning to comedy since then have just not worked, not on the level that the 90's - '02 material did. This is a great DVD to watch for nostalgia and/or if you have a very specific sense of lowbrow humor.Too rude for Japan!
The title is not as catchy as "Subway Monkey Hour" but one thing is true -- Tom Green's clash between humor and performance art makes for a disturbing and embarrassing scene for anyone who watches it. I have shown this to many Japanese people and they simply cannot watch the whole thing. If you thought the "Jackass" movies in Japan were funny at all, this will show you what "he goes too far" means to the orderly and peaceful people of Japan.
Tom's a genius!
If you can appreciate Tom's off-the-wall unconventional humor then you'll love this. I laugh so hard it hurts. He annoys the Japanese relentlessly on this trip and it's hysterical. No one can do this like Tom. I highly recommend.Tom Green is promoting racism
Tom, if you can go south states , make fun of African American people like you did to innocent Japanese people and
get out of alive, I'll buy a copy.
Description
In The Tom Green Subway Monkey Hour special, Tom Green heads to Japan to visit its many attractions and stir up trouble with his unpredictable outbursts and zany antics. Language is no barrier as Green visits a monkey zoo in Nikko dressed up in a Godzilla costume, plays with Japanese snow monkeys on the side of the road outside Nagano, impersonates Elvis Presley in front of a sacred temple in Kyoto and hangs out with a used panty salesman in Tokyo, just to mention a few highlights from the trip. Tom Green creates a hilarious juxtaposition with the more restrained Japanese as his rush hour antics in the subway transcend the language barrier.Amazon.com
If you're a fan of Tom Green (the skinny white guy from MTV who humps dead animals, among other inane stunts), then you will probably enjoy watching him wander around a Japanese zoo wearing a furry green Godzilla costume, or slurping excessively in a noodle restaurant, or buying used panties from an underground used panties dealer, or vomiting in a hotel bathroom, or just generally inflicting himself upon the Japanese populace. If you are not a Tom Green fan, the The Tom Green Subway Monkey Hour is unlikely to convert you, as it's basically a record of Tom Green making an ass of himself all over Japan. You might, however, enjoying watching Tom Green being attacked by wild monkeys. --Bret Fetzer
