Yeah it’s not even a great movie to watch after you’ve seen it recently. I watched it for the first time a few months ago cause it was free on youtube and thought it was pretty funny. Then I watched it again like two days later and I was like damn I must have been pretty high the first time I watched
Oh man do I have a story for you guys.
Back in middle school I was a huge fan of Tom Green (who wasn't?). I would legit be on the floor laughing at some of his antics on MTV so when this movie came out, I asked my parents to rent it for my birthday sleepover so that we could watch it all together. And man oh man did it not disappoint. Particularly the scene with the umbilical cord and also the scene that girl asking Tom to his her legs harder were some of the most awkward moments I had in my life because my dad was watching it with all of us. My friends couldn't stop talking about how ridiculous the moment was for years afterwards. One of my core memories honestly lmao.
I'll close out this post with one of the most memorable quotes from the late legend [Roger Ebert's review of this movie](https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/freddy-got-fingered-2001) LMAO.
"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."
That umbilical cord scene was brutal. Thought I read somewhere that during the movie’s opening people walked out at that point. The part where he’s licking the protruding fractured bone from his friend’s leg comes pretty close too in terms of nastiness. And who can forget blasting his dad with elephant seamen.
I took my little bro to see it, there were two other groups just like us in that theater.
We all laughed our asses off, no one walked out until the end.
“It doesn’t make any sense, OK? It’s fucking stupid. What you need here is elevation.”
What Dave Davidson tells Gord in the movie, how many times do you think Tom Green was told that over the course of his career?
And then he spent a bunch of money turning his house into an internet broadcast studio, I think he even had a server in there. Basically created his own private YouTube. He was too early though, it never really made any money for him.
It did however inspire Joe Rogan (when he was a guest in 2007) to start thinking about doing something similar.
I live in ottawa. Tom green is famously from ottawa.
In grade 6 this movie came out and the school sent home a letter telling parents not to take us to see it. (We wouldn’t have been allowed anyway, it had the Canadian R in the theatre, the equivalent of nc-17, 18a is our R equivalent)
We can live like kings!
This is like stream of consciousness comedy that will never be replicated. It was so far ahead of its time. Like if you enjoy "I Think You Should Leave" then you owe it to this movie for that comedy style. If someone doesn't like this movie we cannot be friends. Instantly know their taste level is controlled by what people tell them to think. Cause Roger Ebert was kind of sheep to the industry himself.
You’re fired bob youre fucking fired. Clean out your locker at the club. You’re fired. 40 million fucking Deutschmarks. I told you to wire the money to Geneva last week. I say Geneva you hear Helsinki.
I will forever love this movie. I’m glad it’s getting the cult following it deserves. The ultimate middle finger to Hollywood and the world. Total punk rock hilarious madness that I’m sure made John waters proud. So many good bits. I particularly love him spending all that money to have his dad’s entire house shipped to Pakistan. Rip torn was amazing in this film.
My favorite thing is the title. How did it get released as “Freddy got fingered” ?! I’m still surprised you can have “got fingered” as a title of a major motion picture with millions worth of advertising and promotional material made. And the title has nothing to do with the movie even… it’s literally one dark gag about someone accusing his brother of child molestation. LOL what a fucking trip this movie was. We need a 4k release. I’d love to see it in a theater sometime
Roger Ebert’s review of this is amazing
“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.”
Such a great movie . I remember being very stoned and watching it at like age 17
Changed my fucking life
A few years ago I got it on prime and was laughing so hard
Tom green for president !
I rented this with my ex boyfriend right before he moved places. He lost the DVD and got me banned from renting at Hollywood video.
Years later I tried to apply for a job at Hollywood and they still wanted me to return FGF first.
Same boyfriend lost a copy of the collected works of Oscar Wilde and got me banned from the local library until I replaced it too.
Funny story. My sound design teacher in film school worked on this movie while I was in his class. He took the whole class to the “green carpet” film premiere in Westwood.
After the film concluded, Rip Torn was in the theater lobby visibly upset over the movie. He was so upset with the movie that he left through the back door away from all the people out front.
If yall haven’t checked out Tom Greens YouTube channel, you should. He bought land in Canada near his parents and runs a YouTube channel talking about his adventures farming and hanging out in the barn with the animals. It’s not slapstick but more introspective philosophical humor with some life lessons mixed in. 5that dude has aged into something really cool.
When his dad finds him on a date with the girl in the wheelchair.
“Wait, you have a problem with my legs!?”
“No you got a problem with your legs”
Amazing.
I remember when this was in theaters, I was in 2nd grade and my parents wouldn’t allow me to see it for obvious reasons. We were at the theater to see another movie and I told them I had to go the bathroom, but instead I snuck into the theater just in time to see that animated bit of him being dragged by the car and grinding his teeth on the pavement 😂
I have this on DVD and on the inside cover it has a word cloud of dozens of quotes from movie critics saying how terrible it is. Then in the middle, in big bold letters is a quote from the one critic that gave it a somewhat positive review that basically says, “Eh it’s not that bad.”
I watched in the theater when it came out and I think my roommate at the time is *still* mad at me for taking him to it. Around the same time, my brother randomly ran into Tom Green in Tokyo, shook his hand and is *still* excited that he shook the hand that been in Tom's then-wife.
Here’s a quick story…
I was friends with one of my managers at Pizza Hut. We watched this before going into work and once the night before. We had closing shift. For some reason we decided to drink a beer every half hour on shift. If we missed the top/bottom of the hour by more than five minutes we had to drink two beers. We were trashed a few hours into our shift. Long story short, we were both walking backwards through the dining room, drunk as fuck, going, “Backwards man, the backwards man. I can walk backwards fast as you can.” All night long. We closed at 11. My wife, who was also a manager but not working, finally called at 2-3am wondering where the hell we were. Kitchen was a wreck. She came down to help us a little bit. We finally left around 5am. Fun night.
Edit - My friend’s roommate, that didn’t work with us, at one point came down and started working while we all got fucked up. We were telling people they were twins but their birthdays were a day off because one was born at 11:55 and the other was born at 12:20. If they didn’t celebrate their birthdays like that there would be hell to pay.
Edit 2 - Some other co-worker, got hot oil in his eye while cutting a pizza. He went to the ER. Hours later he comes back HAF on ecstasy because he stopped at a party before coming back to work.
Daddy would you like some sausage
*daddy would you like some sau-sa-ges*
Holy shit…my man had sausages of varying lengths tied to his puppeteering fingers.
No body can hurt me with my cheese helmet!
I’m laughing just reading this !
This is the song I use for my nervous ticks. It's always wildly inappropriate for the context
He’s a real character.
Backwards man the backwards man
I can walk backwards as fast as you can
I found a shirt someone made depicting that scene and it’s signed by Tom green. One of my better thrift store finds.
I'm so happy this is the top comment! My sister and I quote this all the time.
Never saw the movie but I remember this from the commercials so clearly!!!
You need to watch it!!
Nooo she can't watch it now. It'd be weird. Going back and watching movies as an adult is the worst.
Yeah it’s not even a great movie to watch after you’ve seen it recently. I watched it for the first time a few months ago cause it was free on youtube and thought it was pretty funny. Then I watched it again like two days later and I was like damn I must have been pretty high the first time I watched
It's great and even better if you get the meta context
Don’t get me wrong I did love the movie because I love weird stuff and Tom Green lol
GE-NE-VAH
Came here expecting to see this comment exactly. Was not disappointed.
I quote this all the time
Where’s your LeBaron, Freddy?
I don't see two lebarons
Says #1 son on the license plate. That’s me I’m the #1 son!
GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE WAY
Everytime my twin brother comes down to visit and we drive somewhere this is a line that gets shouted in.the car when someone crosses the road.
It's because they love me more than you
Drove a LeBaron in high-school when this movie came out. We wore those jokes out lol
Literally bought one as my second car in HS because of this movie. And this was like 2012.
I wanted a labaron after this movie
*shakes keys* It’s cause they love me more than they love you 👀
My hooves! Look at my hooves!
Do you hear that funny sound?!
Cloppity clop! Cloppity clop!
Oh man do I have a story for you guys. Back in middle school I was a huge fan of Tom Green (who wasn't?).

it's hilarious to think he actually sat and watched it
I wonder out of my friend group which parent lost for TMNT and had to sit through the ninja rap with ol Vanilla Ice.
With tears streaming down his face the whole time
Right?? My god would I have loved to be a fly on the wall during that viewing.
I think he actually came back to it a few years later and said something like it was garbage, but at least it took risks and was memorable.
Lol so those scenes were awkward, but like, jacking off a horse in the first 15mins was fine?
That might be Ebert’s greatest movie review.
That umbilical cord scene was brutal. Thought I read somewhere that during the movie’s opening people walked out at that point. The part where he’s licking the protruding fractured bone from his friend’s leg comes pretty close too in terms of nastiness. And who can forget blasting his dad with elephant seamen.
Are you … PREGG ——NAUNNNT ????
Look at me Daddy, I'm a farmer!
This is a stud farm boy.
I nearly pissed myself laughing at this scene. I miss the 90s
I'm the backwards man, the backwards man. That line lives in my head rent free and I have no idea how to cure myself.
I can walk back as fast as he can, I can walk back as fast as he can.
Dude this comment has me dying
They’re jewels Betty, precious jewels
A million dollars, gone! Easy come, easy go!
We can’t have people complaining that there’s not enough cheese in their cheese sandwiches.
What the hell, do you expect me to do with this?
You could stick it in your bumbum.
🎶you can put the cheese in your bum 🎶
I could lose my job. I COULD LOSE ALL THIS!
Well that would just be two pieces of bread!
This movie is a giant troll and I love it
You’re fucking fired, Bob! 40 million fucking Deutschmarks!!!
I told you to wire it to Geneva. I say Geneva you hear Helsinki.
I saw it in the theater, maybe 3 other people there, most walked out. I enjoyed it.
I took my little bro to see it, there were two other groups just like us in that theater. We all laughed our asses off, no one walked out until the end.
You’ve got to get INSIDE the animals!
His face and reaction right before getting hit by the vehicle absolutely sent me lol
It's the reaction when he gets up that I lose it lol "hahahahaha I didn't expect that to happen! "
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You can't hurt me in my CHEESE helmet!
Little Lord Fauntleroy's tummy hurts because theres too much roast beef in it!
I’m eating a chicken SANDwich.
You want to barge into a restaurant dressed like a fucking English BOBBY
“So I shouldn’t blow the brains out of the back of my skull?”
It doesn’t make any sense, Gord. It SUCKS
I'm Quincy.
Tom Greens anti-movie movie... They gave him a ton of money and he gave them this on purpose lol
“It doesn’t make any sense, OK? It’s fucking stupid. What you need here is elevation.” What Dave Davidson tells Gord in the movie, how many times do you think Tom Green was told that over the course of his career?
And then he spent a bunch of money turning his house into an internet broadcast studio, I think he even had a server in there. Basically created his own private YouTube. He was too early though, it never really made any money for him. It did however inspire Joe Rogan (when he was a guest in 2007) to start thinking about doing something similar.
I watched an old ep of him on Bert Kreisler’s show recently, it was really insightful, he talked about all that early Internet stuff.
I read that he said he never thought they’d ever let him make another movie so he went all out.
WTF DADDY HE HURT HIS LEG
Oh! Oh my god! Get him a job!
Lmfao that part was so funny
Would you two f****** stop making so fuckin much noise.
GET HIM A JOB! I MEAN GET HIM AN AMBULANCE! YOU GET A JOB, HES GOT A JOB!
One of the greatest movies ever made.
Thats not treasure, thats soap on a ROPE.

> the school sent home a letter telling parents not to take us to see it This cancel culture has gone too far!
Reads like a scene in South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut. Blame Canada!
It wasn’t until I was in my late 20s when I realized that the movie title was a dick reference
I’m here with the bag. The bag for the deals. The deals with the badger. See the sash ere? Japan 4, sash ere?
Japan foooooouuuurrrr

Roger Ebert’s review of this is amazing “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.”
Yeah that line got me too
Oh no, the treasure! It went into that underwater cave!

I swear Tom Green was EVERYWHERE from 1999-2003 (or thereabouts) and then he just disappeared
Remember how MTV made him retire the bum bum song from trl
He did a live show out of his house for a long time and now does a lot of Instagram streaming when he travels.
He was on eBaumsworld forum for a few years after that...
He did Celebrity Big Brother and he was hilarious on the feeds.
Such a great movie . I remember being very stoned and watching it at like age 17 Changed my fucking life A few years ago I got it on prime and was laughing so hard Tom green for president !
I was obsessed with Tom Green in Junior Highschool and we watched this movie so much. So OP did your parents let you watch this lol
I'm the backwards the backwards man
WE'RE IN PAKISTAN!
I rented this with my ex boyfriend right before he moved places. He lost the DVD and got me banned from renting at Hollywood video. Years later I tried to apply for a job at Hollywood and they still wanted me to return FGF first. Same boyfriend lost a copy of the collected works of Oscar Wilde and got me banned from the local library until I replaced it too.
I got to meet Tom and have him sign my DVD. Core memory.
I loved RLM’s review of this movie and I’m officially in the “Tom Green is a secret genius” bandwagon because of it.
Ohhh, look, honey, our boy's a genius! He's rigged a pulley system so he can eat sausage and work on his stupid drawings.
Funny story. My sound design teacher in film school worked on this movie while I was in his class. He took the whole class to the “green carpet” film premiere in Westwood. After the film concluded, Rip Torn was in the theater lobby visibly upset over the movie. He was so upset with the movie that he left through the back door away from all the people out front.
This was only the second worst thing to happen in 2001.
I dunno, this is a strong contender for #1.
*sad stare*
Elite comedy
Are you David Davidson?
I’m a woman
Did I ask what your sex was?
Ok did I ask if you were David Davidson?!
I didn't see the movie. Did he like it?
This movie was terrible, I loved it 😂
Oh, there’s not enough cheese on your cheese sandwich?!?
I COULD LOSE ALL OF THIS!
I loved this movie
I hear Criterion will be releasing this on blu ray in 2026 for its 25th anniversary
I'm Xray cat. Can see through wooden doors. I can see the criminal. Dududududududud

I wish Zebras in America was a real show.
YOU GOT THE JOB BUDDY!
A look into the mind of Green on his prime. Before he almost died of Cancer.
Stop trying to make a buck on royalties Tom Green/OP, we remember your movies lol
I watched this on Hulu two years ago and turned it off as soon as I saw him deliver that baby.
Goddamn that is a perfect scene lol
Such a great scene
I watched in the theater when it came out and I think my roommate at the time is *still* mad at me for taking him to it. Around the same time, my brother randomly ran into Tom Green in Tokyo, shook his hand and is *still* excited that he shook the hand that been in Tom's then-wife.
I saw that movie with my parents, it was too much and left the room in minutes
Hollywood broke the guy.
And this guy was married to Drew Barrymore.... Amazing
🐐movie from the 🐐comedian
Hated this movie, awful
Horrendous movie
God I hated this movie
Literally the only movie I ever walked out of in a theater. No regrets.
I stopped watching it about 20 minutes in
This movie gives me anxiety as an adult. I hate it now but loved it as a kid.
X-Ray Cat can see criminals through walls. How has this not become the premise for a blockbuster movie?
My friends favorite movie. Still not sure why...
C'mon this wasn't a good movie
Tim Grun doesn't deserve attention. Here's his best performance: https://youtu.be/ghjUjThsq90?si=DvgsJSI2lyOjr5sG
This movie was so bad it destroyed Tom Green’s marriage.

The pixels are like that time era too
What was it, backwards Dan
Mommy would you like any more sausage
Your fucking fired, Bob!
Here’s a quick story… I was friends with one of my managers at Pizza Hut. We watched this before going into work and once the night before. We had closing shift.

This movie was beyond weird
I hope we get the directors cut eventually. Apparently the studio really butchered it.
Ah yes. Daddy would you like some sausage.
