I got around to watching it a few years ago, and holy shit is it ever better than everyone says it is. It’s SO FAR ahead of its time—it feels like an early-to-mid 2010’s Adult Swim movie. Ebert can fuck right off, it’s a comedic MASTAPIECE.

I never saw it back in the days where it was sooooo critically panned. It seems to have aged swimmingly.

Wow. I caught it on a channel recently and watched the first 20 minutes and had to turn it off. That style of humor is so outdated imo. Tom Green’s comedy is just being awkward and repeating the same thing(s) over and over.

I’m glad you still enjoyed it though. I know it’s highly regarded as a cult classic. I just couldn’t stand it myself. I’m in my 40s btw, so I grew up during the Tom Green era of popularity.

I’m a bit younger, in my 30s. I also enjoyed the Tom Green show growing up. I think I might be biased because I love his antics and I was tripping acid when I saw it.
