Coming this summer to MTV, it is oh-so-creatively called **The Tom Green Show**. Expect more of the same unfunny crap that made up his last Tv show, the only difference seems to be that Tom has gotten fatter. Won’t be setting the VCR for this one either. ---

Geez, just how many pictures of MTV execs blowing horses does Green have? ---

But they all turn out to be pictures of Tom blowing horses. ---

He’s even less funny that Martin Lawrence. ---

He’s not very funny, but he still funnier than Martin Lawrence. A jar of mayonnaise is funnier than Martin Lawrence. ---

Why don’t we just put him in a show with Colin Quinn, saw it off and push it out to sea? ---

I think he’s going to be on one of those “Remembering the 2000s!” shows, and we’re all going to be going “Oh god, why?” Like Paulie Shore. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Eve \* > \*\*Why don’t we just put him in a show with Colin Quinn, saw it off and push it out to sea? \*\* Alright, I’ve had enough of this madness. COLIN QUINN IS FUNNY! Perhaps not hilarious, but he was a good Weekend Update anchor and he’s done some other stuff that wasn’t bad. I can’t understand why this board has targetted him. He doesn’t stand out too much as a funny guy, but he is certainly far from being painful. I just don’t get it. ---

As someone who actually had to sit through “BioDome” and “In The Army Now,” I feel your pain. And no, I’ve never forgiven the people who talked me into seeing them. ---

Tom Green - whose contributions to humor are humping a dead moose and “The Bum Bum Song.” Colin Quinn - whose contributions to humor are saying, “Shut up, stupid!” to the little bald guy and coming up with variations on his “I’m sick of your people…” angry drunk rant on _Tough Crowd_. I used to think Colin was funny on _Remote Control_, I realize looking back he just reminded me of a sometimes amusing drunken uncle of mine. Just lacking the odor of cheap beer wafting from the TV to complete the effect. I’ll help load them on the show to be sent out to sea, if we can put Joel Stein, Adam Sandler, Martin Short, Martin Lawrence, and the cast of _The View_ onboard as well.
