History Film / FreddyGotFingered

* DeconstructiveParody: In the ''WebVideo/ReView'' episode on the film, [[WebVideo/RedLetterMedia Mike Stoklasa]] argued that the film is secretly a parody of gross-out comedies.

!!Daddy, would you like a trope list? ''Daddy, would you like a list - of - tropes?''

* BrickJoke: Gord advises Julie to leave Jim, whose behavior is getting increasingly erratic day by day, and fulfill "her sexual desires and have sex with basketball players and Greek men". Later, we see her in bed with Shaquille O'Neal.

** Also, Shaquille O'Neal as Gord's mom's new boyfriend.

* CensorDecoy: The scene of [[spoiler:the little boy getting obliterated into a small pile of meat that nothing could possibly have survived]] by airplane propellers got the film initially slapped with an NC-17 by the studio.[[note]]Green compared the rating to "porn with murder" in an interview.[[/note]] Green responded by removing ''nothing'' from the scene and adding an [[StylisticSuck obviously dubbed-in]] clip of him cheering "I'm okay, daddy!", despite the fact that he (for obvious reasons) never appears in the rest of the film, and sent it to the ratings board. [[InsaneTrollLogic The MPAA accepted the scene with no further complaints.]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}:

** Gord's dad also qualifies, although he's not quite as strange as his son is.
* ClusterFBomb: The end of the ''Zebras in America'' cartoon features a voice-over of Gord repeatedly yelling "FUCKER!"

* FlatWhat: When Gord makes the initial accusation of molestation, Jim comes back with a disbelieving "...say what."

* GrossoutShow: A DeconstructiveParody of the genre, which was at the height of its popularity in the late 90s and early 2000s. Many, many scenes in the movie transition ''[[MoodWhiplash instantly]]'' from deliberately [[{{Glurge}} overly mawkish sentimality]] to pointless vulgarity and incredibly gruesome violence for seemingly no reason whatsoever except to make it as unpleasant for the audience as possible.

* KarmaHoudini: Gord is never punished for causing any of the property damage, nor the psychological and physical torture he wreaks, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking nor even for quitting his job after the first day]].

-->'''Gord:''' [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment YOU CAN'T HURT ME! YOU CAN'T HURT ME!]] ''[[ThePowerOfCheese NOT WITH MY ... CHEESE HELMET! NOT WITH MY ... CHEESE HELMET!]]''

-->'''Gord:''' [[ManChild MOMMY ... MOMMY ... MOMMY! MOMMY!!!]] ''[[ChewingTheScenery IT'S A CHEESE NEST!!! IT'S A CHEESEIGEHYHEGHRT!!!]]''

-->'''Gord:''' I'm the Backwards Man, I'm the Backwards Man...

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Tom Green’s Canadian accent shows up in spades when he asks for $100,000 at the bank after he successfully sells his cartoon “Zebras in America.”

* OnlySaneMan: Freddy of the Brody family, who is responsible and mature NiceGuy. Gord is a PsychopathicManchild, Jim is an angry and abusive, and Julie enables of much of Gord's behavior, even to the point of believing him when he claims purely out of spite that their father molests Freddy.

* SarcasmMode: After Gord asks not to eat roast beef the night he comes home, Jim comes back with a riposte that is made of this. (He also uses the FourTermsFallacy in the process, but Gord doesn't notice.)

* SatelliteLoveInterest: PlayedForLaughs. Despite being a wheelchair-using rocket scientist, Betty seemingly has no interests besides performing sex acts on Gord and almost every scene has her asking to suck his cock.

* SoProudOfYou: Gord and Betty both express this for the other; he when he watches the news report of her completing her rocket-powered wheelchair, and her when she learns that he sold his cartoon.

* StylisticSuck: Knowing that Tom Green's comedy stylings mostly consisted of annoying and irritating others for his own amusement, some have theorized that with this film, Green was trying to create the most unpleasant and detestable comedy possible while, as mentioned above, parodying the gross-out early-2000s comedies most associated with Creator/AdamSandler and the Wayans brothers.
* SurrealHumor: Any humor that isn't gross is still pretty weird, especially pertaining to Gord's nonsensical cartoons.

* TheUnfavorite: {{Implied|Trope}} with Gord's younger brother, Freddy (Eddie Kaye Thomas) as their dad, Jim, got Gord a [=LeBaron=] convertible with a license plate that says "#1 SON". Plus, Jim starts warming up to Freddy only after Gord moves back in.
** The “#1 SON” license plate could just refer to birth order, as we discover that Gord is 28 and Freddy is 25.

-->'''Gord''': I'm a 28-year-old man; I should be able to eat a chicken sandwich if I want.
-->'''Jim''': He's 28 years old and he can eat a chicken sandwich. Very impressive.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: PlayedForLaughs, despite being a [[DisabledLoveInterest wheelchair-using]] rocket scientist, Betty seemingly has no interests besides performing sex acts on Gord and almost every scene has her asking to suck his cock.

* KidAppealCharacter: Horrifically parodied. Andy Malloy, the son of Gord's next-door neighbor, is constantly following Gord around and trying to get involved with his wacky shenanigans, but every attempt ends in him [[BlackComedy recieving incredibly painful and bloody injuries]] that get worse every time.

* StealthParody: Some say that Tom Green made this film as an over-the-top version of some of the comedies that came out at the time, dialing the "gross-out" and "serious drama" moments present alike in those films up to eleven. Compare ''Freddy Got Fingered'' to the gross-out comedies that came out on either side of it, and it's easy to see the connection, though some think that's giving this movie too much credit.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Downplayed given [[WorldOfJerkass nature of the film,]] but when Jim repeatedly insults Betty over being in a wheelchair, Gord lashes out at him physically.

* ReCut: The DVD includes a "Rated PG Version." It lasts just over three minutes.

* PsychopathicManChild: Gord could very well make the page image.

* InspirationallyDisadvantaged: Betty. She [[TooKinkyToTorture has a weird fetish involving getting hit really hard on her paralyzed legs]] but is [[HiddenDepths into rocket physics]], generally is a pretty NiceGirl and much more likable than [[invoked]][[DesignatedHero Gord]].

* OoohMeAccent’sSlipping: Tom Green’s Canadian accent shows up in spades when he asks for $100,000 at the bank after he successfully sells his cartoon “Zebras in America.”

Nothing to do with the ''other'' [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet guy called Freddy who’s also known for his fingers]].

%%* GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

** Gord inexplicably survives being struck by a tractor-trailer with no injuries.

* AmbiguousDisorder: It's never made clear what kind of disorder Gord suffers from. However, it is made clear that he is not mentally stable.
