"look gang, a door"
"I wonder where it leads"
*struggles lightly*
"we'll never know"
Fred is actually a believable teenage guy; weird interests (traps, nets...), kind of dumb but does his best, cares a lot about his friends and supports them however he can, a lot of the times oblivious to a girl's advances
@@l0sts0ul89there's likely people like him though likely not entirely exact but close enough.
I have always perceived the gang to be in their late 20s, early 30s, never teens
"Look Gang, A Door!"
"I Wonder where it leads"
"We'll never know-"
I love how he said it as both of them are dead in the center of the screen, like . . . yes Fred . . . . . that's a door . . .
"he's a lame grandpa stuck in a seventeen year old's body" is the best way to describe Fred's character
Honestly that description is just the cherry on top to selling me on Fred's character.
Not that I ever disliked him, just didn't realize how fun he was, even in the background.
I never realized until today that Fred fits the "quirky dad tries hard to fit in with the kids" trope too well.
There's a line exchange between Fred and Daphne where she says "Fred, you're a middle aged dad in an eighteen year old's body."
He agrees, and admits that "it's time I own that."
You got that kinda wrong, Fred isn't like a quirky dad trying to fit in it with the kids, he's just a quirky dad. Lol Fred is genuinely weird. (In a good, innocent, almost adorable kind of way)
Fred is the kind of man we need to see more of in fiction. He's a beautiful example of real manliness and shame on anyone that wants to tear him down.
He's also just so damn wholesome. I remember watching inside job and was so damn happy that Brett acts just like him.
He's the Jonathan Joestar of cartoons. And he's like 18 years ahead of JoJo
I love how Fred is literally the most bland but also the most complex character of this group. Like, literally, the writers never know what to do with him in every reboot or remake that comes out, so we see him as a cowboy, a circus kid, a theater kid, a trap lover, a net lover, straight up himbo, a walking disaster, a cheerleader idk anything, literally, anything they choose to do with him it just works, and, regardless of anything they do, he never looses his cute smile, positive personality and weirdly inocent look. He IS the best character. It's like they keep his personality and everytime they want a filler they use him as the reason for it to be there, and IT WORKS!
(we don't talk about Velma show, that was just a bad dream or a mandela effect)
@@psnfailout000 I say the most bland but also most complex because, if you don't know him well, you think he's a supper generic character, thinking his wholecharacter is just being the leader of the group and also really nice and positive. But in every show and adaptation he's always so much more than that, always presenting something different for the only sake of trying to make him something else than that and still making it seem totally natural, because it's Fred, he can be anything, and that's what makes him so good.
"Fred constantly took the credit of his friends’ work when solving mysteries"
Do your homework, Mindy Kaling.
Just like her character, Kaling loves to insult and destroy others to boost her own ego.
@@FortunAdlaich Mindy Kaling only ever plays one character, herself. I genuinely think she may be one of the most spiteful and vindictive people in the entertainment industry which says a lot.
But Fred realized it himself, so he decided to switch from leader to cheer leader 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This isn't the Fred we deserve. But it's the Fred we need right now.
this is absolutely the fred we deserve and need right now. shining joy and loyalty... our poor boy
"We've been stopping real estate developers when we could have been hunting Dracula?!?"
Fred wanted to fight Dracula shirtless in the rain.
Honestly I can understand his pain
@@nicolasbolas2247 "Look at this net, that I just found!" -Fred, probably.
The most hilarious thing is that he saying that line in crossover with Supernatural
Why a modern, adult Scooby-Doo wouldn't take advantage of dad humor himbo Fred will always be a mystery to me.
maybe because Mindy and her team are bad at writing shows, let alone a Scooby-Doo show lol
It sucks how "adult animation" doesn't contain humor that's relatable to adults, it's just 100% edge for the sake of shock value but it becomes the norm so it's no longer shocking, plus middy kaling is an unfunny bigoted dumbass
Because Mindy and her team are a bunch of misandrists and racists. They only saw Fred as a white man who is bad because he is a man and white.
4:18 I was NOT expecting the “I have FEELINGS!” And I burst out laughing at 2am this is 10/10
I NEVER REALIZED HOW SILLY HE WAS hes so cute😭😭
Ikr? I don't understand how anyone could think he is an asshole white rich boy :(
Amusing how the new "Velma" has united all the ACTUAL fans to vastly appreciate the older better versions more.
for real! i've been binge watching a lot of the older stuff and really enjoying it, especially Mystery Incorporated!!
I've always enjoyed Scooby-Doo. Damn. It's probably one of the longest running cartoons around.
I love to think to myself that Fred was the only boy who couldn't fit in with the others and somehow met with the gang cause all of them were just amazed by him
Lol either him or velma started the whole gang. He even managed to get a super attractive girl in Daphne to be head over heels for him by accident 😂😂.
@@aliikram8252 I think Shaggy came up with the idea, Velma organized it and Fred helped realize the idea.
Shaggy: Owner of the Mystery machine
Daphne: Pays for the gas and parts
Velma: Able to actually read the paperwork and books
Fred: Has his driver's license
Velma ruined Fred, so we watch this instead
Very fucking badly. I haven't watched Scooby-doo in a LONG time and I just saw a few clips of Fred in that new shitty show... My jaw hit the floor on how badly they fucked up his character in that show along with many others. He's basically a full blown idiot that has been pampered by wealth without any charm put into it in "Velma." Not even a leadership position role they can gi- IT'S WOKE BULLSHIT OKAY!
@@danialyousaf6456 Scooby doo show without Scooby doo HBO max just released it this week you're gonna be disappointed
What a polite himbo
Sure would suck if some higher budget fanfic completely character assassinated him
He was white man wasn't he? And that too a straight one
I was saying becoz he was like this sooner or later company would ruin his character
Can you believe that Fred has had the same voice actor for 50 years? Frank Welker must have really understood the assignment.
I will never forgive Mindy for what he did to my sweet sweet boy. He is a himbo who loves traps, his van, and his friends. They absolutely MASSACRED HIM.
Mindy saw "Masculine white man?!" and needed to nerf every good aspect of him
Fred is one of those characters who seems forgettable and uninteresting at first but if you look back at it he's somehow one of the funniest characters
honestly, i didn't remembered him being this funny XD guess is 'cause shaggy and scooby had more "comedic" screen time
Fr though, he and Daphne were the least interesting ones but ig Daphne gets 4th place in the ranking
They all had their funny moments tbh in Scooby Doo you just can't not like them all
Fred is one of those rare few people who were popular in highschool, not just cuz they were rich and good looking, but because they genuinly deserved it and were actually loved by everyone because they were such a joy to be around. every school has at least one.
“Those are francs”
“I thought they were mine”
Pure comedy gold
he looks like the kinda guy that knows how to cut steak with a knife.
He also look like the kind of guy who wouldn't cut a random person's leg off.
I was confused until I remembered what the reference was. God I hate the Velma show.
nah Fred would never cut a steak himself, he’d set up an elaborate tripwire mechanism made of nets and ropes to cut everyone’s food the minute the plate touches the table. ofc, it would accidentally cut the plates too probably, but the food would still be cut.
like cmon Velma that scenario wasn’t that hard to think up
I like how none of Fred’s friends are outright upset with him when he does weird things. Like they’re a little weirded out sometimes but they’re just like “oh that’s Fred being Fred.”
Which makes sense because if they loathed him they wouldn’t spend time with him?
It’s crazy it’s almost like they’re “friends” or something
I admit I haven't seen Velma yet, but I always hate it when shows make a group of friends all seem to hate each other. Why would anyone willingly hang out with a bunch of people they can't stand?
@@TheSameYellowToy there's a certain point in which you CAN get away with that, if you give the jerk characters atleast some redeemable qualities and fun times together on screen, Velma is written and directed by toxic manchildren, so they wouldn't know anything about that.
@@LucasMiddleNameandLastname22 yeah it feels like "this is a show for adults but i dont expect my audience to have any maturity over middle schoolers"
@@anyaforger6178 it's sad really, but the best thing you can do against this shitstorm of a show is to not watch it, don't even pirate it, i don't even get the concept of hate-watching shows, i mean does "if you don't like it don't watch it" not apply anymore?
FRED LITERALLY HAS SO MUCH DEPTH, He is a dramatic innocent himbo with a soft heart who's funny without even trying. Why tf the Velma show potray him as spoiled rich kid 😭 that show butcher literally everyone
Because mindy hates white people (especially the rich ones) she just wanna act like she's better than everyone by self-inserting herself into velma and have all the characters (including her staff members) simp for her, being all judgemental about someone who's above her, and making fred a spoiled rich manchild, I'm a black dude and I don't judge somebody based on their skin color.
Damn. even in one of Mystery Inc episode, he even lives on the side of a river and he never even complained, in fact; he loved it.
Fred being a Elvis fan and making dad jokes about him are the highlight of my year 💀
Even the CZcams algorithm knows the Velma tv show is shit and did Fred dirty.
Everyone in that show is just so hate filled. Fred especially which is completely out of character for the man. He’s pure positivity
While "Velma" better to be banished, I think Fred portrayal in that show would be better (and funnier) if he act like Ned Flanders from the Simpson. A genuine nice guy in cynical awful community.
@@hafirenggayuda that would require Mindy Kaling to not be racist. Or a bad person.
@@hafirenggayuda I find it weird they didn't do that and make him the simp instead of shaggy, because the power fantasy of having a white guy get stepped on by her would be too good for her. Oh wait the new episodes do that while making him a nazi
"Why can't I be cold and heartless like the other guys- WHY MUST I FEEL"
Fred is an icon
What's crazy about cartoon Fred is that he's the only character left in the Scooby-Doo cast who even today, is still voiced by his OG voice actor Frank Welker ever since the show first came out in 1969.
And shaggy has been Casey Casem and then Mathew Lillard with no issues, scooby doo has one of the most wholesale voice actor relationships of any franchise, even kate micucci and grey de'lisle
@@moredumbtoit5325 Slight correction: I think Shaggy was played by someone else since the VHS movies, then another actor for the 2000's until the current one took over

I hope nobody butcher his character.

my favourite one:
velma: "those are franks"

“You think I’m some kind of leader, Daph? Well you’re only half right I’m a cheerleader.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself
@@fromthecheapseats7126 It seems to be from 2019’s Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost.
I love how in almost every iteration of Scooby Doo they almost always depict Fred as being a book smart jock with a dorky side to him. And then Velma fucked it up.
The real Fred always looks out for his gang even as they split up! Not that narcissistic man child from Velma!
I feel like the "spoiled rich kid" trope could have actually worked, but they destroyed it. Our Fred isn't an asshole. He's a well-meaning guy who loves nets and his friends!
@@interstellarkitten6487 yeah, look at Lottie from Princess and the Frog. She’s a spoiled rich kid, but she genuinely cares about her friends and is a well meaning and sweet person!
The real issue with the Fred from 'Velma' is.
Yes he's a narcissistic man child, but at least he shows signs of actually being nice.
He defended Velma and he's genuinely nice to his lawyer (Velma's Dad) at first before his Father reprimands him.
Like. He actually shows some sort of growth, even if it's being ridiculed and is somewhat bad as well, but at least he shows signs of 'changing'
Mindy Kaling and the other people responsible for that show want you to care about Velma and Daphne.
Personally i only really bother still looking at the show because Norville is actually kinda based (except when he isn't) and because Fred actually shows signs of development.
And let's be serious for a moment when it comes to the underlying thing happening in the show:
In these 4 Episodes i've seen they bring up 3 Problems currently important:
- Velma's missing mom
- Daphne's search for her birth parents
- Serial Killer murdering Hot Girls and removing their brain.
The actual Scooby Gang would've at least solved 2 of these cases in those 4 Episodes. Actually i'm 100% sure they would've solved all 3 of them in 4 Episodes and solved 15 other cases as well and it would STILL be better written 4 Episodes than whatever Mindy Kaling produces XD
Pov: Velma ruined your precious Himbo character and you need this video to heal.
i esp love how, in Mystery Inc, he goes from an oblivious himbo who’s hyperfixated on his obscure hobby, to a slightly less oblivious, self-secure himbo who’s still hyperfixated on his obscure hobby but knows how to use it to help those he loves
The fact that a lot of the newer viewers here are tending to the Fred wounds they sustained from a certain show is quite telling
Fred being completely understanding and accepting of Scooby’s health taking priorities over his wants, while only freaking out about it in private is such a sweet thing to do.
I have an idea, let's butcher his character entirely because of his race and gender.
"Much like the original Fred, our Fred is a wh`ite guy who loves to take credit for everyone else’s work."
- A writer who has never seen Scooby Doo
@@Broomer52 I didn't. This is quoted directly from the official character Bio for the show Velma.
@@realNoMee wow. Racism is alive and well. When did we go from “Jude people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin” to “judge people entirely by the color of their skin” Mr. King would be rolling in his grave. Just because someone is white doesn’t make them inherently evil and it’s pissing me off that the narrative keeps getting pushed. Theirs so much venom in these peoples hearts they don’t even want to say “White”
@@Broomer52 Yeah it's pretty clear from the show that Mindy Kaling has nothing but vindictive hate and wants everyone to be as miserable as she is.
Ugh. Really? It was either he or Velma that put all the clues together in the original series, perhaps a bit too often, which was why I thought he was a better character when they started giving him some eccentricities... Though I thought they went a little far sometimes. That being said, he was never afraid to tell someone good work! If figured out something before he did.
2:54 is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen. Never seen a man get so emotionally distraught over nets.
Fred for the last 50+ years: A kind, strong, motivated leader with a lot of passion for his friends, solving mysteries, and the art of trapmaking. Sometimes a bit bumbling and silly, but never plain stupid. An honest, earnest guy who isn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve, and has no shame about his fashion, music taste and hobbies.
Velma 2023's Fred: Throw all of that out the window and replace it with an exaggerated "spoiled white cishet boy" persona that is so painfully infantilized he can't cut his own food. Also racist for no real reason other than the fact he's the only white main cast member. In fact he's probably only kept white so that he can be the "wah entitled white boy with small privates" punching bag.
Velma Fred does try to improve but let's be real here, he was treated the same way anyway so his attempt at character development was meaningless
@@reygoh9944 Yeah, he's constantly just being treated as a punching bag regardless of how he changes
And the sad part is you can sorta see the original Fred's personality in there bit it's pushed down
Example: when he was framed for murder, he was very polite to the lawyer, only being rude when his dad reminded him
@Undergirl04 His attempts at being a decent person are immediately made meaningless and it's genuinely frustrating to see. The show seems to do that just to remind us how mean spirited and edgy it really is 🙄
Fred is such a himbo and I love it.
I'm here to recover from the atrocity that was Velma.
That show is the most Blasphemous cancerous most idiotic offensive thing to ever plague Scooby-Doo fans hell to plague the Scooby-Doo franchise in its entirety
4:41
The way Fred cheered up his friends with his red pompoms was so wholesome! 😍💖
"I learned a valuable lesson about the trapeze"
Of fucking course it was the TRAPeze
“I’m not a guy anymore! I have feelings!” That was the most perfect line delivery I’ve ever heard.
That's all the legitimately funny commentary about toxic masculinity a man needs in just two simple sentences and the perfect man to deliver.
someone once tried to tell me Fred was the most useless member of the squad. I reminded them that Fred was the trap guy. respect the trap guy.
@@hylianmono She's literally the bait 90% of the time, she has a very important purpose.
This man was the definition of wholesome. He had hobbies that were different and tried to use them to help people while mainly being clueless about everything else around him. He was a jock and never shied away from danger even when he didn't know what he was doing but also really in tune with his feelings. Ok not in tune, expressive but Daphne would disagree with the use of "in tune".
3:21 that line is unironically raw af
Revisiting because that shitty new “Velma” show decided to take the mildest, kindest, most supportive, most harmless and sweet himbo in the history of TV animation (while movie animation is solely reserved for Kronk), and just make him a shallow and mean-spirited joke.

So much stuff is wrong in Velma. It’s not canon. Anything 2022 and past in the Scooby Doo realm is not accepted.
Don’t worry. Velma is not canon, and never will be.
I love how wholesome Fred is in this. He is such a goober, but that's what makes him so likeable.
I feel like at a certain point the writers just didn't know what to do with him so instead of trying to add new layers to him they just went "Traps and the van, that's all he needs", and I couldn't be happier that they did.
YES oh my god. given that he didn’t have one Big Thing character-wise like the rest of the gang did for so long, it’s so cool to see the writers finally give that to him and just crank it up to eleven! he went from a pretty normal guy that you could probably meet on the street to the exact level of cartoon wackiness that you would expect a character from scooby doo to have, and i love that for him!!
Yeah, that is pretty much exactly it. Writers could be lazy and just reduce scooby and shaggy to fear+food. Fred didn't have a "gimmick" early on though. So there was a period when the writers just...removed fred entirely, rather than either change his character, or try to do something with the plank of wood. The later series managing to glom onto the trap thing and extrapolate it into this amazing himbo trap lover was amazing.
Funniest part is that the van is not even his
It's shaggy's
He just let them borrow it so they can solve mysteries
It's depressing seeing a cartoon made for children have more care and genuine talent than the "Adult" version. Ironically the "adult" version is infinitely more childish.
It's mostly because the show for kids was carefully constructed to teach positive values, whereas the adult version was carefully constructed to express the broken toxic mentality of it's creators.
Velma is for adults but what’s new, mystery inc and the direct to dvd movies are for all ages

He's basically the big brother in the group looking out for everyone. Placing traps has always his idea but whenever someone else have much better idea he never rejects or even punching down them. God.

But yeah, he's sweet, he's the (cheer)leader, and without him (without the original Fred that is) the show wouldn't make sense cause it's him who loves making traps and catching monsters
It’s easy to understand why; they judged him by his looks, apparent social class, and skin color and came away with their worst prejudices about those things.
YES! He's always been so nice, easy going and resourceful
