i don't get it either.... damn doomsday needs to come sooner! (then i can use my AK and PPS....)

[Head Wreck]

nope. i say thats a definate subject of the Boys rifle come doomsday.

speaking as someone with ADHD. the kid needs a slap, yes i know its fake and played up. but seriously needs a slap for even making something this annoying.

(and before you ask, never had meds for it, my folks rightly refused and found other means to control it)

[Lady Alias]

Oh my god. I'm so angry I actually watched 30 seconds of that.

[Head Wreck]

kind of like the angry German kid.
complete set-up and you just think, "what for?"

[DoctorZ]

I watched it for 2 seconds.

My ears are BLEEDING.

GOD that voice is annoying...

I gotta go snipe a Heavy. Byyyye!

[Fleisch]

that was very funny!!!

[Ajax Knucklebones]

Fred needs a kick in the face.

[Mr Karl]

that vidoes part of a test schedule for the space aliens, the dumber the human, the tastier the meat

[J. Babington]

Oh dear god...
I cant believe it I watched all of that little kids psychopathic train wreck.

[Pull~My~Hair]

ugh..i threw up a little in my mouth...I want to see Fred get sedated...SEDATE THAT CHILD!!!!

[Raza]

Pretty entertaining vid, tbh. Nice example of how you can make something that 'works' by being good/getting lucky with some very simple effects.

ETA: Wait, y'all don't like it. What I really ment to say was:

Ugh, someone should shoot that kid. He's making light of what real mental disorders and real drugs are like, which totally aren't funny. Very annoying. I now exhibit the quality of being annoyed, also.

[Thistle Harlequin]

He's soo cute and adorable

[Head Wreck]

in a kind of "can we stick him in a cage and poke him with a stick" kind of way

[Scott]

i watched one video... then another... by the third.. I don't think that i can watch any more ever again.

I do think though that these videos would really popular among kids and young teens and that is probably what is contributing to most of the popularity.

I don't see many adults anxiously awaiting the next fredisode

[athenahollow]

it's foamy meets pillz-e live action! holy shit!

[Head Wreck]

except foamy is right

[DonkeyMoses]

Fucking brilliant! A consumate fool. Another in the long standing tradition of creating a foolish and maniacal (if annoying) character and being good enough at it to make people think you might actually be like that and wonder why. History is riddled with this archetype.
