Fred

I admit the first time I watched this series it was funny at first but then it started to feel bland and repetitive the second time round. I don't know how this series became among the top subscribed let alone the #1 subscribed on YouTube. If you want to find really good videos on YouTube don't always assume the top subscribed have the best videos because you'll soon realize that the number of subscribers someone has provides no indication whatsoever on how good their videos are especially when you look at this series, despite having the most subscribers it never was and never will be the best series on youtube and to be blunt some people with tons of subscribers might have crap videos whereas others with fewer subscribers may actually have far better videos, browse youtube and you'll see what I mean as you will probably come across much better videos from some users that aren't on the top subscribed. For over 1,000,000 subscribers this series really doesn't live up to the hype but yet it's viewers and subscribers continue to grow. It's understandable that people like this series but if this was made during the Golden Age of comedy it wouldn't have stood a chance as comedy is rarely as good as it used to be nowadays and even then most of the recent comedy is way funnier than this ever was. I used to regularly check back on this series to see if there's any improvement in the humour but sadly it falls flat and is only remotely funny because of the chipmunk voice which in itself is getting old too. This series is a disgrace to Monty Python and any other true comedy legends but to be fair it slides by. It was funny in it's own way but it pales in comparsion to *true comedy*. It used to make me laugh though, I'll admit but at least I can watch Monty Python sketches again and again and still laugh whereas this series is not in the least bit funny anymore :/ A lot of the hype if anything is mostly from fangirls who think Fred is cute and I don't even know where to begin on how retarded that is........ Though this series has probably opened doors for Lucas' career and I have to give him credit where it's due but it still doesn't make any sense why so many people stand in "awe" at this series and without doubt Hollywood is bound to cash in on this but then again some people in Hollywood are only to happy to cash in as long as they make lots of money from it whether it's good or crap. If you want to find one of the most overrated things in the world you've found it.

Overall an alright series but nothing special and proof that people need to look beyond what's in front of them to find better videos because youtube literally rubs our noses in videos from the top subscribed even if they aren't that great.

This is a series that is an insult to human creativity, one that could not conceivably be worse. There is pretty much no plot whatsoever, nor are there any attempts at creating remotely likable characters. Yet, I will not assign a star rating. This could have worked if anyone remotely talented worked on this, yet not a single shred of effort seems to have gone into this travesty.

This could be seen as a form of surreal humor, yet nothing on this show is even remotely funny. This could be a form of surreal art, but this show has nothing to say. Even the "be yourself" message here is shown to cause Fred nothing but misery. The clumsy attempts at teaching a lesson come off as preachy and ham handed. Even the most stupid, easily entertained kids will change the channel before long.

Overall, Fred is an obnoxious, irritating waste of time where gross out humor is the closest the show comes to being funny. It still falls short. Lacking the necessary qualities even for so bad its good, this show defies classification and is devoid of any remotely redeeming qualities, making this show utterly impossible to recommend on any level. A star rating at least implies that there was one thing that made the experience memorable, good or bad. Trying to rate this show would require that the show at least makes itself memorable, and the most pathetic part is that it falls short of even that.

I'm one of the very few people who are willing to admit I enjoyed Fred's first few episodes. I didn't love them, but I felt entertained. Then it felt like the show just got worse with time. I think there are three main reasons for this. One is the fact that it got way to monotonous. It kept on doing the same formula over a billion times. The fact is Fred's act gets annoying after a while. Reason number two is the fact that it became to kid friendly. When the Fred franchise got involved with Nickoldeon it lost a lot of dirty humor. They stopped focusing on stuff like Fred's alcoholic hoar mother, and tried to get more into Fred unpopularity with the other kids. This just made the show start to feel like I was watching one of those Disney Channel or Nick live action TV shows about teenagers in school. It got to a point where I felt like Miley Cirus was going to jump onto the screen, and start making my ears bleed. Third is how the show became a flat out cash cow. When the guy who made these videos realized he could make money off it he started George Lucasing it. He constantly advertised Fred products, and put in-show advertisements. I stayed with the show hoping that it would make a comeback, but eventually I had to click the unsubscribe button. I recommend the first few episodes, but other than that I can't recommend.

No, it doesn't. This is the WORST show. If you can even call it that, on the internet. Don't worry, I am not that kind of guy who bashes on kids for making videos, usually they're actually as good as work done by adults, just maybe the voices are different. But not here. Once you watch just one of his videos you immediately hate Lucas, the infamous maker of "Fred", and plays as him. You don't care about his personal life or ANYTHING, all you want and need to do is tell him off. He got MOST subscribed on You Tube for months on end, and he does NOT deserve that badge. I wouldn't mind if he were an O.K actor but, he just... let me explain. A Fred video in a nutshell... "Blah blah blah blah blah O.M.G Judy ha i am so not funny blah blah blah pointless yelling wow look Kevin blah blah blah mom comes home and says something unfunny, blah blah blah, subscribe. To the person who just wasted your time and gave you partial deafness in your ears." All that and some high pitching easily done in audacity and having the original audio replaced and re- synced, there you have, the WORST videos on You Tube. And is is clear NO effort whatsoever, he just thinks of daily situations that no one really cares about and just acts all crazy. And annoying as well. And has that STUPID high pitched voice. I guarantee that you will regret watching any of his videos. And nobody I've ever met likes Fred. Word.

I stated on my Fred the Movie review that I'm not a fan of Lucas's. This isn't to say I'm a "hater" as extremist fanboys would call me and thousands of others. I too was a fan! I got into Fred in his early days,when he was still part of JKL with his cousins. When Fred had half a million to a little over a million views. That's how early, not a bandwagon jumper. I thought he was entertaining,and helped take up some spare time in my day. At some point though, he jumped the shark and became the plummet downhill.

It strikes me as odd how Fred's movie came out; after he became washed up and really a nobody, becoming shadowed by renown Youtube celebrities like Shane Dawson,and the immortal Smosh. Fred was alright, but his quality began to go downhill, and he stopped being funny. He was just the high pitched ADD kid who just wanted to annoy everyone. I'm giving Fred a 1, because I grew out of the immaturity and sold my funny bone to Satan.

If you want someone to laugh with (or at) just go watch Shane Dawson or Smosh,someone with talent.
