Freddy Got Fingered (2001). The most cleverly written and self aware anti-movie ever made. It's a Dadaist masterpiece.

For the unitiated, this movie is about a completely untalented cartoonist who inexplicably gets given $1m to make his cartoon, and blows the lot of dumb stuff. In real life, Tom Green had the stupidest TV show that you ever saw, and was inexplicably given $10m to make a movie. The fact that it was ever made is a giant fingers-up to Hollywood, with a slight fingers-up to the audience thrown in. Nothing like it will ever be made again.

You know, Tom Green was truly a pioneer. A precursor to stupid internet videos we have today, a natural progression from candid camera. Anyway, the movie’s fucking stupid but I enjoyed it.

He’s travelling the country in a van now, he has a YouTube channel that’s pretty awesome. Glad to see where he’s at now, living life and enjoying himself

Did anyone have this take before RedLetterMedia made a review of it?

To me, it’s just a hilarious comedy.
