History YMMV / FreddyGotFingered

* SignatureScene: The sausage-keyboard scene, for better or [[JustForPun wurst]].

** The titular Freddy. He already has to deal with his brutish father and a BigBrotherBully if there ever was one, but due to an ugly rumor his brother starts, he is sent away to a home for abused children, even after he insists that he wasn't. [[spoiler:Worse, by the end of the film, he's still there! It was a nice home and all, and the children there are getting the help they need and are handling it well, but still...]]

** First, there's the horse-wank. Repeated later in the climax where Gord causes an elephant to ejaculate all over Jim.

* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible:
** It's earned something of a tongue-in-cheek reputation as a [[UsefulNotes/{{Dada}} neo-dadaist]] auteuré film thanks to its [[RandomEventsPlot seemingly non-existent plot]], refusal to make a point out of anything, and Creator/TomGreen's word that it was at least partially [[StealthParody a stab at shallow studio comedies]]. As mentioned above, it's not "SoBadItsGood," it's "so bad, it's ''art''!"
** Along with Creator/RogerEbert's quote at the top of the main page, A.O. Scott of ''The New York Times'' stated that several skits, such as "The Backwards Man" and the infamous "Sausage Piano" scene, might have qualified for a National Endowment for the Arts grant if they weren't from a Hollywood film, and said that they might still go on to appear in the New York Museum of Modern Art someday.
** Probably why the film has a cult fandom -- [[http://www.avclub.com/articles/my-year-of-flops-case-file-61-freddy-got-fingered,10849/ including]] Creator/NathanRabin.
** Mike Stoklasa of WebVideo/RedLetterMedia [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEn3wcpNsg8 presents a compelling case]] that Green intended the film to be a massive TakeThat towards dumb studio comedies by making it the worst possible version of such a film. The fact that the story is literally about Green's character wasting a clueless executive's money doing whatever he wants adds further bite to this reading, as it suggests that Green was completely confident that studio executives cared only about capitalizing on his popularity and shock value and would pay no attention to the content of the film itself.
** InUniverse, this is how Hollywood executive Dave Davidson sees Gord's cartoon pitch.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: To be fair, the movie could be argued to be [[RandomEventsPlot 99% made of this]], but the Institute of Sexually Molested Children scene with the kids and Freddy watching an excerpt of ''Film/{{The Texas Chain Saw Massacre|1974}}'' while a creepy rendition of "Boys and Girls Come Out to Play" plays in the background is a particular standout (which is ironic considering that it's one of the few scenes with any sort of bearing towards the film's non-indicative title).

* CriticalDissonance: The film seems to be more popular with viewers than it is with critics.

* DesignatedHero: Gord is a self-centered PsychopathicManChild who terrorizes and abuses everyone around him, including his own friends and family. This gets taken up to eleven late into the film, where he spurs a malicious rumor that tears his family apart and ruins his father's life. Considering the movie was likely a StealthParody, this is completely deliberate.

* EightDeadlyWords: All the characters, except for [[GoodBadGirl Betty]], Freddy, and a few others, are complete lunatics, complete assholes, complete morons, or somewhere in-between the three.

* RetroactiveRecognition: The ''Zebras in America'' scene was one of the very first projects created by Creator/{{Titmouse}}, back when it was just founder Chris Prynoski doing freelance animation work by himself and receiving payment through his t-shirt design company of the same name. Because he was a freelancer and not a production company, Prynoski didn't have production insurance, so he had to accept payment through the T-shirt company's bank account. In Prynoski's words, the entire Titmouse animation studio "grew out of me being too dumb to turn down freelance work."

* ItsNotSupposedToWinOscars: Extreme example: When the film was nominated for five "awards" at the 2001 Golden Raspberry Awards, Tom Green showed up to accept them, saying when he did, "When we set out to make this film we wanted to win a Razzie, so this is a dream come true for me."
