Freddy Got Fingered turns 25. Tom Green’s $14 million cult classic comedy initially bombed with $14 million ($30 million adjusted) before making $24 million in video sales; initial reviews were scathing, with Roger Ebert naming it one of his most hated films.

completely went over everyone’s head. it’s SO clearly satire, making fun of the industry that enables the dumbest entertainers
It’s a comedy that wants to hurt you, not please you. I love that…
The “pissed off white man in his 50s completely at his wits end with his idiot son” is by far my favorite movie archetype and Freddy Got Fingered will likely never be beaten in that regard. “Get him a job! Wait no, get him an ambulance, you get a job” will always make me laugh.

Awful film
I’m just impressed that a movie where a guy jacks off a horse got a wide release.
We really need a 4K restoration of this film.
