If you’re the type of person who likes to find movies and TV shows that are completely unlike anything else out there, or you’re a really big fan of dark comedy like I Think You Should Leave and have a hard time finding other titles that scratch that specific itch, Hulu just added a movie that you absolutely need to see. This 2001 film is described as a “surrealist black comedy” but that doesn’t exactly do it justice. The movie we’re talking about here, Freddy Got Fingered, is one of the weirdest films of all time, and is considered by many to be a comedic masterpiece decades ahead of its time.

Freddy Got Fingered was directed and co-written by its star, Tom Green, based loosely on his journey to get his TV series (The Tom Green Show) made. The 2001 film sees Green playing a 28-year-old cartoonist struggling to work, living with his parents and constantly dealing with an abusive father (played by Rip Torn).
If you’ve never seen the movie, it’s hard to put into words just how strange and shockingly hilarious Freddy Got Fingered can be. The story behind the title alone is enough to either sell you on the entire movie or make you want to run as far away from it as possible. If dark humor and awkward situations are your thing, it’s best to just throw this on without knowing anything else.
Between this film and The Tom Green Show, Green established himself as a singular comedic voice in the ’90s and ’00s. His work was highly controversial at the time and misunderstood by many, but many have come around on his brand of humor over the last 20 years. He’s now receiving the kind of widespread acclaim that he had always deserved.
This month, Freddy Got Fingered made its way to Hulu’s streaming lineup, making it as accessible to movie fans as it has ever been. If you want to give the film a shot but don’t have a Hulu subscription, you can sign up for one here.
