His show, The Tom Green Show, typically consisted of stunts played by Tom on unsuspecting people. A number of them involved Green's parents, who consistently appeared to be unamused and occasionally angered by Tom's antics. Some of Green's most notable skits include humping a dead moose (referenced by rapper Eminem), having an X-rated lesbian scene painted on his father's car, drinking milk by sucking a cow's udder, and putting a cow head in his parents' bed while they slept.
