Part of me wants to think that Tom is some kind of a genius in how he wanted to make a movie that was so bad that it defies description. You've seen nothing like Freddy Got Fingered. You literally have to see it to know just how bad it is.

@@MrChaotic4 He is a genius ahead of his time. It's Tom Green, the man was a professional troll. It's so obvious he wanted to make it as awful as possible to mess with Hollywood and the critics.

He was a troll before being a troll was cool

Well at least they own The French Connection!

To be fair Doug Walker deserved it for being an asswipe.

@@BigEOT3 you know doug walkers breakdown was a comedy sketch right?

So people are now accountable for all the crap things their friends do?

@@JohnSmith-jh6ey I believe he meant that as a JOKE.

Ironically enough it is Dougie and Lindsay's videos that give me a mental breakdown 🍻

Wow...

Well makes sense, they probably use copies of it to dull out the pain from decades of failure to relive the Maple Leaf’s Stanley Cup winning glory days.

I would have gone for negative three stars, personally.

Well they're canadian after all.

I was waiting for somebody to reference that review!!!

Hey, we have the same surname! Wonder if we’re related

Which review was that?

@@Lyendith Lindsey Ellis and Kyle Kallgren during their channel awesome days reviewed Freddy Got Fingered... it is to date one of the only good thing to come out Channel Awesome (mostly cuz it’s an actual review and not Doug Walker whining about cgi for 30 minutes)

@@CinemageddonReviews Thanks!

No. I think he's just saying that after the fact to save face, like how immature people on the internet will claim they were "just trolling" after saying something ignorant in earnest and being called out on their terrible opinion.

@@WobblesandBean Well, he is known for having no shame, so....who knows?

@@ASLB247 he thought 50% would find it hilarious? Poor deluded soul...

@@C.V317 Well some people do find it funny.

@@ASLB247 “some” and “50%” are a looooong ways off.

At least Filthy Frank was funny, and at least Tom Green never filmed a dead body.

That’s a horrific insult to Filthy Frank. D:

No.

The fundamental issue with Tom Green was that he was overexposed around this time. He was at the end of the day a "niche comedian" during a time in which Hollywood was seeking for youth-appealing performers. If Tom Green was starting out today, he would in all likelihood, gain his following on KZfaq instead of on MTV.

Honestly, that's my favorite Ebert review.

@@michaelstrong5383 It’s number two after “North” (1994).

He was SOOOOOOOOO right.

@@BaranoffIsaac He could make some baffling opinions in his reviews (one star for “Blue Velvet”?!?), but was usually right on the money on some movies. That “North” review was just gold!

@@BaranoffIsaac That’s still too low a rating for that movie. He gave “A Taste of Cherry” one star, too. “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" received zero stars (thumbs down).

Don't worry, I thought he was related to Seth Green. Though if he was, it was him with the candlestick at the library.

@@BaranoffIsaac lol I actually probably would have thought that if I ever watched that as a kid. but I’m not Canadian and we didn’t get YTV growing up in the part of the US where I lived.

@@Guzuma PBS showed it on a regular basis.

@@davidl570 that’s surprising that i never saw it then, my mom always had pbs on the tv in the mornings before i went to school from around 2000-2007 or i could have seen it, i….blocked out a lot of my childhood tbh

What was the fir..... Ohhhhhhhh Yeah *THAT*

Ooooh Someone here watches Red Letter Media~

Unless you watched it in Saudi Arabia, Egypt.........

@@CapAlonso2435 Oooh Someone here thinks that no one else thinks of certain jokes except KZfaq sites.

You don't get the point

@Punished Venom Deat Most people don't 😘

I’m...not sure that’s something to be proud of. Like being ahead of your time in pioneering the use of Agent Orange.

C. V. Trolling isn't typically right wing, it has a long history as an anti-authorotarian force, and therefore also (of not more so) as part of the left and progressivism, with dada, fluxus etc. The fact that the left nowadays has no humor and doesn't know how to reshape modern trolling as a positive force for itself is very sad.

@@mabusestestament I'd say that the right wing tried to coopt trolling and used it to justify a bunch of stuff No, the left didn't lose its sense of humor - Hbomberguy still has a very trollish approach to how he constructs jokes and he's the swidge king. You just don't want to give up the ol' "troons is funknee" joke

@Hal Emmerich I do think overall the left has lost its humor, yes. But not me of course 😘

@@mabusestestament I’m not sure why you’re bringing up left and right, that came out of nowhere. Regardless who uses it, trolling isn’t humor; it’s being a dick for the sake of being a dick (unless you’re providing an alternate viewpoint or justifying your statement with evidence) and says more about the troll than about the group they’re trying to rile up. Whether the left or the right do it shouldn’t justify it or change what what it is.

She is monumentally self possessed.

@@BaranoffIsaac who was that?

​@@PickleSurpriseVEVOthe nostalgia chick

Tom Green is gonna bring so much magic to Disney... Dear God Mickey & co should start to look already for a coffin.

D:

So that makes Tom Green a Disney princess, right?

@@stevegeorge6880 Or Prince, but yeah.

I respect tom green for beating cancer This movie, tho, 👎

Yes, he always was and still is very funny and a nice, authentic guy 👍

So he is basically pulling a Steinbeck.

Did he though, or was that a glorified 'It was meant to be bad' excuse he came up with later? I'd like to think if he was setting out to make a 'troll' he would have done a better job.

Still very embarrassing that he couldn't even do 1 movie review a month. Now he's down to 2 reviews every 3 months

I can’t wait until he gets to Movie Title II: Subtitle

@@TheCamSays I dunno my favorite is Movie 3 Title. The third in the trilogy but it’s edgier and doesn’t need no subtitle.

@@TheCamSays Movie Title III: With a Vengeance was severely underrated.

@@DGilVids I say that Movie Title 4: 4inal Fou4 is where the series jumped the shark.

"underrated" is criminally over-used.

The queen of pop went with a BANG, and a stinky out of it.

Oh boy.

One of the absolute worst remakes ever made

What else can he say about Madonna’s filmography that Todd In The Shadows hasn’t said?

@@thecinematicmind Bar none! Just awful! Hope Sean tears that movie to SHREDS!

No I would not

Aged like a fine wine 🍷

"This is one of the easiest calls I've ever tried to make." "And don't get me wrong, there were some stinkers in 2001." "There was Pearl Harbor. Micheal Bay's overly long and grossly historically inaccurate World War II movie."

Yeah, Tom Green's content is basically KZfaq prank videos before YT even existed. He was a pioneer, but not of something good.

Part of me wants to believe that Tom Green is some kind of a genius for making a movie so awful that it completely defies description. You've seen nothing like it. You literally have to see it to know just how awful it is.

That doesn't mean anything. That studio was run by Rupert Murdoch at the time. Politics aside, given how cheaply he sold 20th to Disney, he's not exactly a financial wizard, and it's finally coming back to bite him.

You got to respect him because Tom Rothman was about to finger FOX itself that decade. Just look at what would happen with AVP, X-Men The Last Stand, X-Men Origins Wolverine, cutting up Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven, etc.

I also don’t know why Regency Enterprises also decided to put money into this mess. I don’t know what Arnon Milchan was thinking, he should’ve been embarrassed about this.

Late-1990s to early-2000s, mainly.

Which crappy Madonna movie will he review next? I scrubbed their titles from my memory.

@@louisduarte8763 Swept Away. Easily the second most embarrassing thing Guy Ritchie has done. (The first being getting married to Madonna in the first place)

I watched fgf recently and it holds up

Agreed

It is his favorite movie. Because it is his movie.

Cole may be the most level-headed person in Chris Chan's family, but that doesn't mean his movie opinions are great.

@@michaelstrong5383 well said. Though based on this review (as I Iack both the courage and alcohol required to watch the film) Movie Title is essentially Random Access Humour: the Movie.

@@thomasoates3003 I see it more as EdgeLord: The Movie, as it tries way too hard to be offensive for the sake of comedy. Cole even unironically considers this to be "Classic Cinema".

@@michaelstrong5383 Whilst offensive humour can work, it simply doesn't here. How can anybody consider this a classic film?

@@BaranoffIsaac By giving Movie Title a better score and review than Toy Story 3, he is implicitly stating he thinks the former is better than the latter. The fact he had different reasons is irrelevant; give one film a better score than another and you are implicitly stating one is better than the other.

Don't be silly, he is a natural treasure and made one of the finest comedy's of the 90s. Oh, and he hung out with Monica Lewinsky and talked to her like a normal person when everyone else treated her like a subhuman with a deadly disease.

Has the Canadian government ever really apologized for Brian Adams, as South Park has lead me to believe?

Blame Canada! Blame Canada!

I'm a big belieber!

I put this in the "what the hell were they thinking making this?" category

I remember busting up so hard when I saw this on HBO. Not sure if it would hold up now. Maybe I should just leave the memories alone.

Ill admit I'm a man that likes deep and meaningful films but Freddy got fingered is one of those films I can't hate no matter how hard I try its lunacy is charming even if intense

This isn't really my sense of humor Which is why I can't stand Adam sandler's new movies

Proooooooud 🍻

Of course we don't understand, it's f*cking ridiculous!

Where did you pull this concept from? Because from what I’ve seen, the producers thought they could get money off his schtick, Tom thought it would sell (granted, he didn’t make it to be a great movie, just his sort of movie), and the cast all admit they wanted a paycheck. People cannot miss a point of you are plucking out of thin air. Un Chien Andalou, this ain’t; it’s a flop that people make excuses for to justify why they may like it.

@@BaranoffIsaac wait wait wait, so Tom Green wants to say “f@!* you” to producers who want a movie with a standard movie format by...breaking out his well-worn copy of Anémic Cinéma for inspiration? I honestly doubt Tom Green could spell avant-garde, much less be determined to sell it to producers who would not be inclined to accept it. This isn’t high art, it’s a one-man version of Jackass. Look, I’m not saying it’s bad to like the movie; you’re allowed to like anything you want. But when someone throws a rock at someone else’s window out of spite, it doesn’t make sense to say “well it must’ve slipped” or “don’t you see, the rock is an avant-garde statement”.

I think that's giving it far too much credit....

Imo, it's not funny

Only seen 365 Days because my older sister showed it to me. I'm gonna give her payback by showing her Casablanca. She'd back it up by saying it's softcore porn. Paul Thomas Anderson made Boogie Nights (glamorizing pornography films in the 70s and 80s) and it gave Burt Reynolds his only Oscar nomination.

@Branch 823 I did call it bullshit didn't i? I do think that Doug put in a little bit more footage from the movie but you have to sit through his bad comedy theater to watch it

Literally any reviewer is better than Nostalgia Critic.

No, that's the whole thing, it's not classic it's groundbreaking comedy 🍻

they probably looked it, look at Tom Green's MTV ratings, and thought, "yeah, the kids will like this" because they made the terrible decision to give a weirdo prank comedian a movie option.

@Hal Emmerich It's one of the best decisions in cinema history 🍻

I wonder how FGF would have been if it was directed by Terry Gilliam instead...

@@guillermodebaskerville7117 It never would’ve gotten finished.

This isn't a "cult classic". This is just garbage.

That’s cute, thinking producers feel ashamed of who they associate with.

@@C.V317 well, ashamed in public

@@moonman375 For a moment. Until people forget they’re responsible. There’s a reason Lionsgate movies are labeled as “from the producers of The Hunger Games and Knives Out” and not “from the producers of Oogieloves and A Madea Christmas”

He probably thought it was 11pm or whenever he posts.

Yes but it gets a bit too self indulgent at times.Tom Green cannot stop himself from acting like he's smarter than he really is. It would work better if there was actually a point behind it.Its like making Blazing saddles without the social commentary or Spaceballs without the humor.And saying 'but that is the point' well my reply would be 'its a stupid point'.

​@@florinivan6907 See, I think there IS some sort of deeper commentary buried in there somewhere (probably unintentionally), I just have no idea what it is, hell I don't think even Tom Green knows. And the movie as a whole is pretty terrible, but some parts of it are...well I wouldn't say FUNNY, but I do think they're at least more interesting than Sean gives it credit for. The running gag with the kid getting horribly injured, I think, is good (in theory) and could even be darkly hilarious in a better movie with a clearer vision beyond "shitpost". A strange comparison, but it reminds me of Lars Von Trier's THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT, in that it's a giant, capital-E Edgy shitpost that's the creator taking his own reputation and tropes and dialing them all the way up to 11 to create some kinda hypothetical worst case scenario freakshow version of those very things. Is it any good? No. But is it worthwhile talking about? I think so. I also I think it has historical significance as a snapshot of the kind of comedies that were popular in that late 90s/early 00s timeframe. Those sorts of movies just don't exist anymore, at least not on the mainstream, a-new-on-in-theatres-every-month level they were at their height. What you're watching is a parody of a kind of a trend that died almost twenty years ago. There is one joke I find genuinely funny, the entire "bag of jewels" exchange. I don't know why, but Tom Green repeatedly saying "bag of jewels" with a completely straight face while being drowned out by a helicopter is hilarious to me and I don't know why.

Oh. I'll cancel the bank transfer, then.

I have it on dvd and watch it at least once a year 🍻

This movie's just nonsense!

Maybe I wouldn't be surprised

And THEN Ben Affleck and Jlo in *Gigli*.(Shudders).

Can one really ruin a movie career that began with "Who's That Girl" and "Desperately Seeking Susan", and had a high point of "Dick Tracy"?
