Freddy Got Fingered is a brilliant satire of the Happy Madison/Farrelly Brothers style comedies of the late-90s/early-00s. If anything, it aged better than those movies because it fits so well into the style of comedy popularized by Tim and Eric/Eric Andre. It’s also understandable as Tom Green making fun of studios for giving him $14 million to make “his movie.”

While I freely admit that it is by all objective measures a terrible movie, I still consider it a guilty pleasure. 4.6 on IMDB, for good reason. I wouldn’t call it “brilliant satire”, but it is a total idiotic farce delivered with gusto, and Rip Torn is pretty hilarious. I enjoyed it more than prequels 2 and 3.
