The film shows the apparently mentally-retarded cartoonist Gord Brody (Green) heading to Los Angeles to obtain a contract for a television series. The producer, however, tells him, quite rightly, that his ideas don't make any sense, forcing him to go back home, to the chagrin of his father. The film is infamous for its~~...~~ bawdy ~~humour~~humor, which extends to bestiality, rape, and ripping a baby straight out of a woman's womb, in what [[Roger Ebert]] ascribed to a trend in Hollywood, starting several years previously and being definitively capped with this film. What was intended by Green as comedy was hated by reviewers, and has a reputation as one of the worst films of all time. However, [[Vindicated Byby History\|critical reception has softened]] since its release; a year after the film's release, Ebert re-examined the film and stated that, although he found it horrible, he admitted it was at least ambitious in its aim, and that Green had potential to "make a movie worth seeing" some day. A(this ~~decade~~is ~~later...[[Downer~~the ~~Ending\|he~~only ~~still~~feature ~~hasn't~~film Tom Green has ever directed).]] The film itself has gone on to gain a cult following. ~~-----~~ ~~=== This film provides examples of: ===~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Adult Child]]: Gord. * [[All Women Are Lustful]]: Betty repeatedly insists on sucking Gord off, and he is often hesitant to accept. * [[Ambiguous Disorder]]: Gord is a '''gigantic''' [[Psychopathic Manchild]] who is a social reject to say the '''least''', is somehow insane enough to still live with his incredibly [[Abusive Parents\|abusive father]], is [[Literal Minded]] enough to interpret someone telling him that becoming a respectable [[Funny Animal]] animator requires him to be able to "get inside the animals" as a suggestion for him to ''cut a road-killed deer's stomach open and then wear said deer's corpse on top of himself'', and even cuts women's umbilical cords by ''biting them in half with his teeth''. * [[Anti -Humor]] {{quote\| "What do you call a guy with cheese on his face?
