Fun fact, Freddy Got Fingered won 5 Razzy awards and Tom Green himself arrived at the event in a white cadillac, rolled out his own red carpet, received the awards in person and got to be dragged out of the stage because he wouldn't stop playing the harmonica. He even said: "When we set out to make this film we wanted to win a Razzie, so this is a dream come true for me," he said. In all, Green picked up awards for worst director, worst actor, worst screenplay, worst on-screen couple and worst film.

Yeah. I get the feeling Tom would find it funnier knowing people don’t get the joke. This is not a movie Tom made to entertain people. The film is the joke even if it’s not strictly funny. I’m ok with that and I suspect so is Tom.

I am proud to be able to say that my father, Al, was responsible for engineering and constructing the sausage piano based on Tom Green's fever-dream idea. It was the bleakest point of his special effects career, not so much because he had to work on what seemed to be at the time possibly the worst film ever made, but because my grandpa was dying of lung cancer as he was working overtime and essentially having a mid-life crisis. When production wrapped, he made my younger brother and I promise him that we would not watch it until we were 30, I didn't know why he was so adamant that we did not watch the film when we were kids until I saw it decades later and could not get through it on the first try due to the nuclear levels of cringe He was in disbelief when I told him that FGF is now having a bizarre meta resurgence online, as he has done his best to erase working on this film from his career, keeping it off his IMDB credits, but I'm trying to rid him of the shame he's held on to all these years lol. I recently found the surprisingly small crew photo (looked like less than 50 people) with him and Tom in it, as well as a sealed bottle of FGF beer featuring the famous horse on the label, given as a crew gift, that now sits proudly on my shelf.

Currently trying to find an old VHS tape of home video from when I visited the set, it was the "Tunisia Set" which was actually some sort of quarry or some sand provider east of Vancouver. He also worked on that house falling and explosing, a sailboat getting dropped in to a woodchipper from a helicoper that was cut from the movie, and most of the other scenes involving explosions and car stuff - oh and can't forget the elephant cum explosion.

I saw this movie back when I was 13 and thought it was the greatest thing ever made. A few years later I couldn’t stand it. And then in my thirties I rediscovered it and again think it’s one of the greatest cinematic achievements ever conceived.

The Roger Ebert review of this movie contains my favorite Ebert quote of all time: "This movie doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels."

Lowest common denominator 😒

I'm fascinated by this episode of RE:View and revisit it often. The movie really does feel like Tom Green was forced to make a movie that followed a 1-page treatment not written by or specifically for him, but producers thought would really fit Tom's "image" and his responsibility was to "make it funny, funny man". But that made him mad, so he negotiated complete creative control moving forward. They agreed, and this is just artistic revenge.

People are baffled by this kind of product because they expect something awful like this to be a consequence of the producers' lack of ability, but how do you explain it when every second of the film makes it clear that the producers know exactly why it's garbage in the first place (and in theory could fix the disaster)? This disarms the critics, they can't point out a film's flaws as if it were a super intelligent observation when the film itself is already fully aware of them. For the audience it will always be divisive, some will hate it because it's stupid, something that was not taken seriously, but a small part will love it when they notice that the product is making fun of itself, thus generating entertainment in a totally unconventional way.

I've always seen this movie like Mike does, to me it's like the perfect satire of the shitty 2000's teen comedy movies and it's intentionally filled with non-sequiturs and deliberate moments of filmmaking incompetence.

Tom green has said multiple times, Freddy got fingered was meant to be the most stupidest film he could produce. He intended for it to be hated by half the audience and that was part of the joke. Thank you for not trying to say that it isn't funny like so many other reviews. It's a stepping stone for so many comedy styles, has to be appreciated as such.

Every time jay describes a scene he laughed at, he implies that it was probably unintentionally funny, like due to incompetence instead of design. I can’t believe he doesn’t see the obvious satire. He must just generally dislike Tom Green to offer so little credit for a comedy film it sounds like he enjoyed

Came back to this as I got to meet Anthony Michael Hall at Fan Expo Canada. He was awesome and we got to talk about a few things, one of them being Freddy Got Fingered. I asked how he got involved and he said that both his and Tom Green's agencies had met and talked about casting for this movie and Hall agreed to be in it. He said that he loved the movie and I told him I did, too. He was just such an awesome guy to talk with, as I got to talk with him about Edward Scissorhands and War Machine as well.

Tom Green was a huge inspiration. The movie was perfect for his fan base. People can hate it all they want... but so many modern bits come from Tom's work

I'd say Eric Andre lit a "revival fire" for Tom Green more than Red Letter Media. Even Eric says that Tom Green's Canadian show was a huge influence on his talk show and it's obvious, but I also feel he's passing the torch in a new direction that I like and not just a "copy" which is derogatory. I'm not saying this video didn't bring about a discussion and open some eyes up to Tom Green, but most won't click on this without some prior knowledge of the movie, either through hearsay or watching it yourself due to the attention it received. Edit: I also want to say that Tom is one of the nicest guys ever. My Mom met him in a salon and even took a picture with her in the middle of his haircut. I showed her all his episodes back in the day because she has a dark sense of humour, and she heard him talking while getting a haircut in Ottawa (his hometown) a few years ago, he was happy to oblige to a picture, so that makes him even more of a legend in my book.

I come back to this video every year because its one of my favorite things to rewatch. This video is a masterpiece about a masterpiece.

I met Tom Green while serving the Army in Kosovo in early 2003. He flew into base on a helicopter, carried a painting of Leo Dicaprio. I got to eat dinner at the mess hall next to him and my colleague asked him how it was like being married to Drew Barrymore and he said it was pretty short-lived. Tom is a smart man and I think the point of this movie was to break the norm and engage an audience of 18-24 year old men. The movie, I thought was very funny, and what makes it unique and a fantastic film is that it's such a simple plot, without the usual 3-Act structure. I think everything was intentional. It wasn't sloppy filmmaking. If it were, it would try to be good and follow the structure, but it doesn't.
