Freddy Got Fingered is a 2001 American experimental surreal comedy film directed by Tom Green in his feature film directorial debut and written by Green and Derek Harvie. Green stars in the film as a 28-year-old slacker who wishes to become a professional cartoonist. Its plot resembles Green's struggles as a young man trying to get his television series picked up, which would later become the MTV series "The Tom Green Show". The title of the film refers to a plot point where Green's character falsely accuses his father of sexually abusing his brother, the eponymous Freddy.
