Catering for non-mainstream humour although I'm sure any of us could make the same.
Highlights: Too many.

It's been 7+ years since I last sat down to re-watch this and although I have gotten older and possibly more mature, I still think there are some parts of this that are genuinely hilarious. It's a wildly uneven film that's often terrible, sometimes offensive or even plain stupid. But Tom Green puts together a darn good soundtrack and those couple of moments that are still funny? Wildly so, moments of comedic gold which almost make the whole film worth…

I sincerely believe this to be one of the most innovative comedies ever made, and one of the most innovative films of the 2000's overall. Though FGF effectively exists as a $14 million dollar prank at 20th Century Fox's expense, you can trace the lineage of the Tim and Eric school of casual (or extreme) surrealist comedy right to this cheese-sandwich stuffed, horse cock filled work of dadaist genius.

"Many years ago, when surrealism was new, Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali made "Un Chien Andalou," a film so shocking that Bunuel filled his pockets with stones to throw at the audience if it attacked him. Green, whose film is in the surrealist tradition, may want to consider the same tactic. The day may come when "Freddy Got Fingered" is seen as a milestone of neo-surrealism. The day may never come when it is seen as funny."
