The Tom Green Cancer Special (2000 TV Special)
5/10
Tom Green Capitalizes Off His Cancer
12 August 2018
I kind of like Tom Green or at least I used to. Never really or anyway very rarely found his public ambush style comedy pranks funny but he seems like a friendly guy probably and you can't deny he was an original voice and he was fearless in what he would do. I'm surprised he never got punched by an angry person or parent at some point when he was screwing around with real people who didn't know he was a comedian.

Anyway this cancer special is one of his better things but still not all that funny. He had testicular cancer and had to have one or both removed so he turned it into a comedy documentary about cancer which is his over the top in your face style. Unfortunately none of his comedy skits were very funny maybe because it is such a serious and sad topic. But really also I just didn't think much of it was funny. Talking with a doctor or joking with his friend about his balls or singing a song in his bad voice with only a few notes that went on too long. Give him this though anyone like me who watched did get a reminder to check themselves out for testicular cancer more often and he really put himself out there.
