Let's begin by being clear that the Endangered Feces in 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 house full of 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 on Open Mike with Mike Bullard and The Dini Petty Show. Definitely not for everybody, The Very Worst of Tom Green will bring some of you to tears laughing--and you know who you are. --Erik MackiCustomer Reviews:

This stuff is so totally off the wall that I haven't laughed this hard since I saw the South Park movie. Although many of these skits are completely tasteless, they are still a joy to watch. Once I get some kind of cable service, it will be interesting to see how good his current MTV version is in comparison with the material on this DVD. In the meantime, I have thoroughly enjoyed this disc which offered much more reasonably priced entertainment than a lot of other DVDs currently on the market.
Also included is Tom Green as a guest of Open Mike with Mike Bullard, the Dini Petty show and Camilla Scott. The Mike Bullard appearances are so absurd that they belongs more with the Tom Green Show than with Open Mike. And again, these are mainly original broadcast tapes, not multi-generation copies.
It's surprising his .... wasn't hauled in jail especially after what he did to his parents' car and house! And a good thing too. In six short years, Tom Green has gone from an Ottawa cable access show to a hit TV show on MTV. Even some the hosts of the shows where he was a guest have been in the business for a lot longer than he has. And they haven't reached anywhere near Tom Green's huge cult status.
This DVD is a great value for Tom Green fans everywhere.
