Freddy Got Fingered Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Freddy Got Fingered (2001) is a shock comedy film directed by and starring Tom Green. Some of the scenes are similar to the antics seen in his own The Tom Green Show.In the movie, Green plays a cartoonist named Gord trying to get a contract for a TV show. Gord also has a love interest who is disabled, played by Melissa Coughlan, and a best friend, played by Harland Williams, who has left Gord's lifestyle for a mainstream job at a bank. A major subplot is Gord's feud with his father, and at one point in the movie, Gord accuses his father, played by Rip Torn, of molesting his younger brother, Freddy, played by Eddie Kaye Thomas.
The film is largely gross-out humor, and is regarded by many as one of the most tasteless films ever made. It features countless scenes of explicit gore, bodily functions, and a variety of sexual acts, some involving animals.

The film was almost universally hated by critics, many of whom gave it zero stars. Roger Ebert described the film's humor as such:
The film "won" in five categories at the 2001 Golden Raspberry Awards and, in ackowledgement of the critical consensus regarding the film's merits, Green appeared at the ceremony to accept his awards.
One of the most notable scenes in the movie is frequently referenced by the cult following through quotation. In this scene, Gord is working in his living room after his girlfriend told him that he should relax while he draws, that he should eat a snack and play some music. Taking her advice (although not as she intended it), Gord has constructed a bizarre system of ropes and pulleys allowing him to eat sausages without using his hands. Simultaneously, Gord is drawing comics and playing discordant melodies on an electronic piano keyboard. When Gord's father angrily barges in the room, Gord switches to a new song and starts singing in falsetto: "Daddy would you like some sausage? Daddy would you like some saus-sage-es?" This causes Gord's father to fly into a destructive rage.
The entire nonsensical scene is somewhat unique in its humor, combining elements of non-sequitur, slapstick, Rube Goldberg devices, and feigned stupidity. As such, the "Daddy would you like some sausage?" phrase is a meme, at least primarily among fans of the film.
