I'm a connoisseur of crappy movies. I really like jive-talking robots, exploding dinosaurs, huge tricked-out 18-wheelers piloted by greasy, depressed Jason Statham and piles of unconscious minions beaten senseless by greasy, depressed Jason Statham. If it has no plot, I'm in.
I thought I'd seen the worst movie ever when I sat through Zombie! vs. Mardi Gras back in 1999. It was so bad, I actually thought about not sitting there watching it as I was watching it but what can I say, I was righteously stoned at the time and it seemed to me that reaching for the remote would be far too much work. But one would require an I.V. full of Wild Turkey and Rohypnol with a Girly Beer back to survive The Worst Movie Ever Made, Tom Green's 2001 "film" Freddy Got Fingered.
It could be that Tom Green made Freddy Got Fingered in an attempt to create a piece of nihilist performance art in the style of John Waters. During a John Waters film, one's mouth drops open in shock. During Freddy Got Fingered, one's mouth drops open to yawn. It could be that Tom Green made Freddy Got Fingered as a social statement on what filmgoers are willing to sit through. We're not willing to sit through that, not silently anyway. It could be that Tom Green made Freddy Got Fingered as just one part of the ultimate piece of nihilist performance art--his disastrous "marriage" to Drew Barrymore--in order to hold it up and say "Lookit what I got my wife to finance! And you paid seven bucks to see it! Ha ha!" Given Tom Green's catalog of work in general, that's not out of the question.
Whatever Tom Green's reasons for making it, Freddy Got Fingered has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. If Tom Green's wish was to make a flick that would score the title of Worst Movie Ever, he nailed it.

Yea, Freddie got fingered. I am not touching that one with a ten foot pole.
Dude. I love Freddy Got Fingered. What is wrong you people? Liz if I wasn't so in love with the fact that you're a horror connoisseur I would have to give you a big fat Ebert two thumbs down right now. Oh well just mentioning Zombie Vs. Mardi Gras is redemption enough.

I've never understood the appeal of Tom Green. It doesn't surprise me that Freddy Got Fingered is the worst movie ever. Doesn't surprise me one little bit.
