Freddy got Fingered.

No one liked that film. It received horrid reviews, and got panned by everyone who sat through it.
But I must point out that it is a genuinely funny film on many levels.
I found it too ambitious, and too mind-blowingly horrid not to be great, so it earns a solid 10 outta 10 in my book. Here's a list of the most hilarious scenes.

- Gordy's cartoon animal sketches get rejected by Dave Davidson, who tells him to makes his characters funny. He says he need's to "get inside the animals" and work from there.
On the drive home, Gord comes across a dead stag. Remembering but misinterpreting Daves advice, he tears open the stag, pulls out it's innards gleefully, covers himself in blood and dances around inside its dead flesh.

- Gordy is at the hospital, and a woman suddenly goes into labour. He helps her give birth, despite her desperate pleas for a real doctor, and removes the umbilical cord. With his TEETH.

- At one point his physcotic father and him burst into an argument in a restuarant, which results in a huge fight. Food is thrown, a child has a wine bottle smashed on his face, and Gordy ultimatelys ends up playing the violin horribly, screeching "This is a FANCY restuarant daddy! This is a FANCY restuarant!"

- The best scene in the film is when Gordy take sthe advice that his girlfriend gives him, to eat and play music and draw. At the same time. How? By rigging a pulley system on the roof, sellotaping mince to his head and tying strings to his fingers which are in turn hung over the pulley system attached to sausages which he regularly takes bites off of as he plays the keyboard singing "Daddy would you like some sausage? Daddy would you like some sausages?"

- Last but not least, the hardest to describe scene of hilarity is when Gordy and his father attend a session with a family physciatrist. An argument ensues and Gordy slowly, fearfully states that "He touches my little brother. He touches Freddy!"
Freddy is 20 years old and has never been molested by his father, but that doesn't stop the police from believing Gordy when he smashes a windo, perches like a bird by it and screams "You hear that dad! You're a molester! A child molester!" and then leaping from the broken window.

Maybe the movie alienated people.

Maybe it definately alienated people.

Maybe I have a warped sense of humour, but I loved the movie!

Okay, it was unbelievably un-PC and arguably the most offensive movie I've ever seen, but it also has a strong message about how strait-jacketed society is and how that causes the stagnation/repression of creativity and imagination.

And I noticed you censored the "funniest scenes list" quite a bit!

Definitely not a family movie, but if you like off-the-wall, aren't too sensitive about offensive jokes, and have an eye for underlying themes then you will enjoy the movie.

The movie is goddamn hilarious "He's a chiiiild molester" X)
I love Tom Green
It's definately one of my favourite comedies... ever.
I don't remember when the film came out but I find it hard to believe it got bad reviews, what the hell is wrong with people?

He's 28 years old and he can eat a chicken sandwich. Very Impressive. Mike Fitzgibbon's son is a nuclear physicist, and my son can eat a chicken!

The movie got bad reviews becaus everyone reviewing the movie was over the age of 30....

Not according to Canada he's not... Although I love Tom Green, he was ahead of his time when his show first aired on the Comedy Network here before he got picked up by MTV. His influence can still be felt from Jackass to Kenny vs. Spenny, he opened up the door for a new genre of extreme comedy. To put it simply Tom Green is a creative genius and a Canadian icon.

Canada has always been ahead in Comedy.... Jon Stewart ripped off 'This Hour has 22 Minutes' news comedy show here which has been on the air since 1992, SNL blatantly ripped off SCTV....

Absolute trash with no redeeming value and I find it even more laughable for anyone to think there was any kind of "message" in it - please, like Tom Green has that kind of congition.

Hey don't forget the scene at the end with the Elephant. I admit there were a few scenes that made me laugh but I think that was because they were so wrong my mind didn;t know what else to do. Basically this movie is what happens when you get a bunch of collage kids stoned on PCP, coke, crack, and meth and then say hey why not make a movie.
