    Fred: The Show. Quite a mess isn't it. While it's not the worst Nickelodeon show (that title belongs to Breadwinners), it's definitely the most annoying. Fred's high pitched voice is just grating. While in the original web series, Fred was kind of funny with his high pitched voice, here it's just grating.Every episode is essentially an extended Fred video. He talks to the audience, every shot is a jump cut, etc. It was clearly intentional what they were trying to do here.The characters are all annoying. Not just Fred, but literally every single character in the entire show makes me infuriated. Fred's mother in particular makes me frustrated beyond any measure. And every time Fred shows up on screen, he makes me want to tear out his vocal chords directly from his throat.This is what happens when companies try to base their show off a YouTube channel. You get an annoying, pandering, vapid, obnoxious, infantile piece of trash like Fred: The Show. And sadly, the same thing happened to the annoying orange.

    This is a great example of why things that you see on the internet, can't be translated into 15 minute TV episodes consisting of 24 episodes. I've been forced to sit through FRED: the show with my little cousin who watches it and likes it for some reason. I didn't know at the time that the show was based on the web series FRED because I never heard of it, so I checked the web series out as I was curious. The web series consists of around 5 min short clips of the character FRED, played by Lucas Cruikshank. I also don't find the web series funny but I found it more bearable than the show as the web episodes are just 5 mins.I've gone way too much into describing the background of FRED, what's the show like. The show is what it is, a 15 minute version of the 5 minute web episodes. The show suffers from the same problem the web series does, it doesn't even try to be funny and because it's not funny and puts this annoying character in front of you, you will find the show annoying and unfunny. It's the same reason why I hate the Annoying Orange as well (which is another show my little cousin has forced me to watch.) If something sort of works on YouTube (and I literally mean it just sort of works) then it is common sense that it will not work for television and FRED: the show is the testament to that. I can't think of one memorable moment from the whole show. So let's do a bit of math. Each episode is 15 minutes long, there are 24 episodes = 6 hours of my life I will never get back. The things that are going on throughout the show don't make any sense at all. I can't tell whether they're trying to be realistic or fictional as it's somewhere in between. One minute it's following the laws of physics, next thing FRED makes a love potion which doesn't exist. That's a great message to send out to the kids isn't it? "Can't find love kids? Just make a magic love potion, no need to go through that stage in life known as dating and getting to know someone, just get a love potion, FRED seal of approval (and the Mellow seal of disapproval.) It also baffles me as to why they made this show, as they already made 2 movies based on this character and they both failed critically and financially, so why did they think a TV show would work? Just leave this "thing" on the internet where it belongs and leave it on the internet.

    This show is probably the funniest shows I've ever seen in my entire life. It's even funnier than Evan Almighty (I LOVE that movie. It's where a man turns into either God or Moses). I know a lot of you guys think Fred: The Show is really stupid, but I think Fred: The Show is stupid in a very entertaining and enjoyable way to make everybody laugh. This show is EVEN BETTER than South Park, which is FIVE BILLION times more stupid than this show. And you guys thought this show was annoying, huh? Well, it's not really annoying. I don't know why so much people hate this poor show. It's really depressing to see the new generation of haters.

    I actually liked Fred, when I first watched his web show, his web show was pretty funny, and when I first saw his Celebrity Music Video, then hit me, what if Fred was a celebrity. Well he did became one with his first movie, Fred: The Movie, and that movie was torture, it had awful editing, terrible acting all the way through, no plot, and an awful script, then after that the sequel came, and it was better, it had poor acting, a good plot, and an okay script, and then when I heard about this, this is going to be the worst year ever. The show is awful, it has no story, no plots, no funny jokes, poor acting, and just an annoying torturous person name Fred. Just stay from this show, it's torture, and idiotic.
