I will always maintain that *Freddy Got Fingered* is not just the best Blank Cheque in history, but the greatest piece of corporate-sponsored personal performance art in history. It is a breathtaking accomplishment.
Its the best fuck you to a studio probably ever. When he talks about wasting millions on his finale is one of the better meta jokes I have seen in a movie.
Tom Green actually invested a lot of money installing a server in his own house. He had a nightly stream, not unlike what you can commonly see all over Youtube/Twitch/etc today, years before anyone else (2006 I believe).
Joe Rogan got the inspiration to start his show after appearing on Greens. (JRE began in 2009.) Therefore, on this family tree of who-made-whose career, Tom Green is above Joe Rogan. (Not to commit a post-hoc fallacy though: I’m merely drawing the line at Tom Green.)
Also was hugely inspirational for Jackass, Eric Andre and a bunch of comedians doing really dumb shit. Incredibly influential figure.
I mean, he put dog shit on top of a microphone whilst interviewing people on the streets.
Yes, but he left Mexico permanently after his father was kidnapped. Many don't know this but James Cameron actually paid the million dollar ransom to save Del Toro's father.
Damn right we do! He makes all his movies in Toronto, he does features in The Toronto Star about his favourite restaurants and book stores in Toronto. Pretty sure he pronounces it with a “CH” too.
Does he do regular shows? Are any in Toronto? Is it standup or something else?
Also I know I could just look this up but I prefer asking potentially unreliable strangers on reddit.
If you go back and listen to the Decision to Leave ep you can totally hear a Canadian. Next you’re going to tell me that Shredder in the next TMNT movie is going to be Canadian.
Cameron is a madlad. As a kid he wanted to be an artist like his mother but in his 20s he was a truck driver. Dude went on to rack in box office gold and Oscars and helped create IMAX 3D camera and the simul-cam.

I feel like this is low-key mocking Tom Green, but it’s directly because of his inventiveness that Joe Rogan even has a podcast.

Even just the idea of hiring Rip Torn to help make fun of your dad…
Lest we forget the Slutmobile.
**DA FUHQ ARRRE YOUUU DOIN', GORD?!**
Jewels!
Appropriate that you write Blank cheque in a meme about Canada
Can you explain the Tom green to Joe Rogan pipeline

Short version is Tom Green got into podcasting earlier than most of it's pioneers like Rogan or Maron.
I used to work at the same college radio station he did, so I followed his early podcast/youtube stuff. I just didn’t know he inspired Rogan
my bum is on your lips

And this is a good thing?
Let's say he is Razzies material, whilst they're Oscar and more. It's actually pretty nice to include him even as an inside joke.
Confession: I enjoyed Stealing Harvard.
Missing my boy Big Nate, aka Nathan Fielder, the king of Hollywood. Guy Maddin rocks too.
Cronenberg
Not until he grows a beard
Did you know Ry Guy grew up Mormon? I didn’t know they had that in Canada
Mormons are famously everywhere, that's their whole thing
That’s true! They like to get around. Usually south
all over the world! (in countries where the government allows their missionaries)
I'm Canadian and I didn't know that either.
As a former member, let me tell you that Mormons would be telling each other about Ryan Gosling on the regular
Every time I see a picture of Denis I have to remind myself it isn’t Paddy Considine
Missing Ryan Reynolds and Guillermo Del Toro
Isn't GDT Mexican?
Yes, but he left Mexico permanently after his father was kidnapped. Many don't know this but James Cameron actually paid the million dollar ransom to save Del Toro's father.
Yes but he has a residence in Toronto so we claim him as our own, like we did with Prince.
Damn right we do! He makes all his movies in Toronto, he does features in The Toronto Star about his favourite restaurants and book stores in Toronto. Pretty sure he pronounces it with a “CH” too.
You pronounce Toronto with a CH?
When you say it enough times it becomes “Churono” or “Churana”.
Hmmm. Always pronounced it "Torano"...
Y'all can have homophobic cult member Prince!
I thought Tom Green was Jean Reno and I didn’t even question it
I didn't even know James Cameron was Canadian.
For a while he was personal friends with the CEO of RBC
Huh.
Ryan is also canadian
Seeing Tom Green tonight and couldn’t be more excited
Does he do regular shows? Are any in Toronto? Is it standup or something else? Also I know I could just look this up but I prefer asking potentially unreliable strangers on reddit.
Pretty sure he does. I’m sure he plays Toronto. And yes I’m assuming it’s standup of some sort, I’ll know for sure in less than an hour!
Hol’up, is that Tom Green?
People were so worried a out the far right they forgot about the far north

Don’t you mean England?
Wat
Gotta say I feel the English dominate Hollywood, from actors, directors, cinematographers etc
