Do you think the baby-delivery sequence would've been funnier if he'd accidentally killed it, or was it perfect just the way it was?

My favorite scenes were the ones with the abused kids watching 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre', and one of the placards at the airport saying "When the fuck is this movie going to end". I also thought it was hilarious the way all the 'outtakes' during the end credits were so lame, and also the part where he loads up the 'sandwich' with about 12 pounds of cheese slices. Classic flick!

Branch Rickey to thread!

my cousin has seen it five times. one time he was watching it while my mum was having her japanese lesson with her professor. "WAH THE HELL IS THAT?" hahahah

Anyone who dislikes this film is gay. Fact.

OMG I'm finally going to find out!

I'm definitely not gay, then.

Freddy Got Fingered," is quite simply the worst movie ever released by a major studio in Hollywood history"

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 30 January 2005 02:06 (twenty years ago)

In the US, this has been hailed as the 21st century's worst movie; I think it is the 21st century's worst cultural artefact. Watching it was among the worst experiences of my life, up there with having a quarter of millimetre shaved off my upper molar without anaesthetic by an eccentric dentist when I was 15.

i love the scene when he jumps out of the window like an ape!

― cutty (mcutt), Sunday, 30 January 2005 02:28 (twenty years ago)

I laughed but then I felt bad, and stopped watching because I got bored. Does this mean I'm ashamed to be gay, or that I like girls? I'm so confused.

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Sunday, 30 January 2005 02:34 (twenty years ago)

gay but ashamed imo.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 30 January 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

I guess I better embrace it, then.

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Sunday, 30 January 2005 03:27 (twenty years ago)

What a shit film. Possibly the worst film I've ever seen.

'Backwards man' was the only redeeming part, and how slight it was.

― Sasha (sgh), Monday, 31 January 2005 00:43 (twenty years ago)

Tom Green, the host of a prank-driven MTV series, is a connoisseur of shock, and his first feature film delivers plenty of almost unwatchable gross-outs. But if this wide-eyed, stammering doofus is an aggressive provocateur, he is also, like it or not (and many will not), an artist. "Freddy Got Fingered" is less a movie than a series of indescribably loopy, elaborately conceived Conceptual-art-style happenings that are at once rigorous and chaotic, idiotic and brilliant.

I'm reading Tom Green's book "Hollywood Causes Cancer" and even he doesn't seem to like the film. He sort of blames some of it on recovering from cancer and 'the studio', though.

You know that kid in school who would "show off" by eating banana peels, boogers, and milk cartons at lunchtime in the caferia? Or the one who drew pictures of exploding heads and penises on his notebook?

If that kid was given a few million bucks by a studio to make a movie, this would be that movie. AND THATS WHY I LIKE IT.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 31 January 2005 02:27 (twenty years ago)

I watched this movie early last night and fell asleep shortly after. I'd only been awake for about 8 hours but managed to sleep for 11 more. Rip Torn drunkenly asking Tom to fuck him in the ass has to be one of the single strangest moments in film history. Even Tom seemed to be bothered by it. The mom in bed with Shaq was funny...what the hell was going on with that fuck move Shaq was demonstrating? Thanks to Jaymc for quoting the NYT review as I was really curious about the context of the "BRILLIANT!" quote on the cover.

The scene with the helicopter drowning out Tom Green's voice is kinda brilliant.

― latebloomer, Thursday, 6 August 2009 07:11 (fifteen years ago)

I think this is one of those movies that no girlfriend would ever like. And is thus classic. I've been laughing for like 30 seconds now just from my memory of the elephant scene.

― Fetchboy, Thursday, 6 August 2009 11:37 (fifteen years ago)

i watched this movie when it first came out - and remember nothing of it whatsoever. maybe i should d/l it...

― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Thursday, 6 August 2009 18:27 (fifteen years ago)

I think I made through 20 minutes of this? Wherever the point where dude gets a compound fracture and Tom Green starts licking it is where I decided that I had better things to do with my time.

shazam notwithstanding, shaq does a great acting job in his 20-second cameo as julie haggerty's frustrated kept woman. watch for his great "don't touch me, i'm hurt inside" look at the end.

I would say "you are making things up in order to trick me into watching this" but this is FGF you're talking about

yes

― galumphing lummox (bug), Thursday, 6 August 2009 18:39 (fifteen years ago)

First time I saw this I was really buzzed and it was one of the funniest things I had ever seen. Saw it a second time a few months ago (sober) and I could not find the humor in it at all. I think when I was younger the idea of being purposely and gratuitously gross or offensive seemed funny to me but now it seem like just a gimmick.

― Adam Bruneau, Thursday, 6 August 2009 20:57 (fifteen years ago)

the parts where they half-heartedly work through whatever plot this movie has are bad. it's also about 6 1/2 hours long.

― goole, Thursday, 6 August 2009 21:00 (fifteen years ago)

Nah, I like that the movie has a half-ass "plot," skeletal as it is. It makes the craziness more jarring. It really is an assault on the concept of "entertainment" from all angles.

― latebloomer, Thursday, 6 August 2009 21:15 (fifteen years ago)

yeah you hate to sound lameass but it really is dadaist, as in, occasionally unbelievably brilliant but mostly uncomfortable and irritating

― goole, Thursday, 6 August 2009 21:17 (fifteen years ago)

It has the affect of casting an actually mentally ill person in the idiot man-child role you see in Sandler movies.

― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 6 August 2009 22:02 (fifteen years ago)

There is a "Swedish" edit going around with all the plot contrivances and virtually all non-insane dialogue removed. The readme on it says there's future plans to replace any music cues with badalamenti-sounding collage composed of Tom screaming.

While I enjoy Freddy Got Fingered on its own retarded terms, no way is it dealing with the same issues as Goldthwait's recent films (Sleeping Dogs Lie was genuinely thoughtful and affecting, despite its outre subject matter). I call bullshit on that much, at least.

― SNEEZED GOING DOWN STEPS, PAIN WHEN PUTTING SOCKS ON (Deric W. Haircare), Wednesday, 17 February 2010 22:57 (fifteen years ago)

In its mixture of gross-outs and something approaching moral seriousness, then, Green approaches the second-wind directorial career of Bobcat Goldthwait

Green didn't quite get to the same level of thoughtfulness (or respect, obviously)

― jeff, Wednesday, 17 February 2010 23:15 (fifteen years ago)

The Rip Torn character was based on Green's actual father, and in the ending of the movie Tom makes Rip provide him with the kind of validation I don't think he ever got from his real folks, and in this sense, it is much more unsettling than his wacking off of a horse. (If you're looking for some deep reading of it)
