'''Fred Figglehorn''' (stylized on webpage and on [[T-shirt#Expressive messages|T-shirts]] as FЯED) is a fictional character created and portrayed by American actor [[Lucas Cruikshank]]. Cruikshank, a teenager from [[Columbus, Nebraska]], created the character for his [[channel (communications)|channel]] on the [[video hosting service|video-sharing]] website [[YouTube]].<ref name="Ind">{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/online/andrew-keen-on-new-media-kids-with-cameras-lead-the-way-in-giving-web-users-their-daily-fred-878508.html|title=Andrew Keen on New Media: Kids with cameras lead the way in giving web users their daily Fred|publisher=[[The Independent]]|author=Andrew Keen |date=2008-07-28 |accessdate=2008-10-26 | location=London}}</ref> The videos are centered on Fred Figglehorn, a fictional 6-year-old who has a dysfunctional home life and "[[anger management]] issues".<ref name="Smh">{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2008/06/30/1214677897205.html |title=Fast-talking Fred is the toast of YouTube |author=Stephen Hutcheon, with Tom Burton |date=2008-06-20|accessdate=2008-10-26 | work=The Sydney Morning Herald}}</ref>

== History ==
Cruikshank introduced the Fred Figglehorn character in videos on the JKL Productions channel he started on YouTube with his cousins, Jon and Katie Smet. He and his cousins set up the JKL Productions channel on June 11, 2006, and Cruikshank filmed his first Fred video on October 30, 2006. On April 30, 2008, the videos that had been filmed already, got added to the Fred channel, and on May 1 the first official video, titled "Fred on May Day" was released, explaining that Cruikshank asked YouTube for the Fred channel. Someone else previously owned the channel, which was later turned into one of Fred's enemies in the Fred series. By April 2009, the channel had over one million subscribers, making it the first YouTube channel to do so, and the most subscribed channel at the time.<ref name="BatchBuzz">{{cite web |url=http://www.batchbuzz.com/detailedStoryDefault.php?id=751 |title=BB Suggests: The Best of Web TV |author=Editorial Team |date=2008-11-13|accessdate=2009-11-16}}</ref> However, on August 20, 2009, YouTube celebrities Ryan Higa and Sean Fujiyoshi and their channel, [[Nigahiga]], overtook the Fred channel as the most subscribed channel of all time.

As of September 2010, the Fred channel has received over 92 million channel views, over 580 million video views since its launch, and over 1.9 million channel subscribers, it is listed as the number two all-time most subscribed YouTube channel.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/user/Fred|title=Fred's Channel|publisher=[[You Tube]]|accessdate=August 31, 2010}}</ref> Cruikshank has made a few television appearances both as himself and as Fred. Although Cruikshank voices Fred, the audio is digitally edited to sound higher-pitched than Cruikshank's true voice.

In December 2009, Cruikshank filmed ''[[Fred: The Movie]]'', which will air on [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] in 2010. Nickelodeon hopes to create a franchise surrounding the character and has committed to a sequel.<ref name="nytimes1">{{cite news| url=http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/24/fred-the-movie-lands-on-nickelodeon/ | work=The New York Times | title=‘Fred: The Movie’ Lands on Nickelodeon - Media Decoder Blog - NYTimes.com | first=Brooks | last=Barnes | date=March 24, 2010}}</ref>

== Content ==
Lucas Cruikshank has described the channel as "programming for kids by kids".<ref name="Ind"/> Cruikshank obtained the Fred channel in April 2008, and was launched officially May 1, 2008.

The series is intended as a parody of people who, in Cruikshank's words, "think that everyone is so interested in them." Cruikshank believes that viewers either "automatically love Fred or automatically hate Fred, there is no in between".<ref name="cnn">{{cite news|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi57YE9jon4|title=The Teen Behind Fred.|last=Brook|first=Anderson|publisher=CNN|accessdate=2008-07-20}}</ref> The videos primarily consist of the character [[Fourth wall|speaking to the audience]] about what is happening in his life. Fred has a high-pitched "chipmunk" voice, making him sound more like a 6-year-old. According to Cruikshank, this effect and the hyperactive appearance of the character are achieved by speeding up the video.<ref>[http://www.siouxcityjournal.com/articles/2008/12/24/news/latest_news//e48cb008fbd0644e86257529005e4bc6.txt Sioux City Journal: Nebraska teen making 'Fred' an Internet star]</ref> The song "Watch How I Do This" by Kev Blaze was featured in most of the season 2 videos.

The character lives with his recovering drug-addicted and alcoholic mother, whose voice is often heard, and his grandmother. In seasons one to three Fred communicated with all characters off-screen, unless they were an animal. In the first Fred episode, "Fred on Halloween", Fred's mother was portrayed by Lucas Cruikshank himself. It is implied that Fred has been the victim of child abuse (like being locked in a dog cage for three days), but he frequently speaks of his love for his mother, particularly after she was at rehab. Fred's father has been mentioned several times as being on death row in the state [[Prison|penitentiary]]. Fred hasn't met his father as he left Mrs. Figglehorn while she was still pregnant with Fred.

The series uses a [[floating timeline]], that is, it is always taking place in the current year, meaning that Fred is perpetually 6 years old, and in Kindergarten. He also has a crush on a girl in his [[kindergarten]] classmate named Judy. Fred has described Judy as, "so mean... yet so attractive." Fred's grandmother is mentioned as briefly caring for Fred while his mother was in rehab, on account of [[alcoholism]] and drugs. In almost every episode, Fred sings a song he makes up. It was established early in the series that Fred has anger management issues, which require him to take medication.

On screen characters are seen for the first time in a [[dream sequence]], in "Fred: A Star In His Own Mind", Fred dreams of being a famous actor, meeting fan girls and other famous actors. Season four, as it was filmed after [[Fred: The Movie]], marked a change in production style, it is filmed in a higher video quality, and shows other on-screen characters.

== Sponsorship and appearances ==
[[Zipit Wireless Messenger (Z2)]] sponsored the first season of "Fred", which had several cameos in various videos posted to the Fred Channel. Although the collaboration had originally been kept low-key, Fred now has a separate website promoting the Zipit and has starred in television ads for the device on [[Nickelodeon (TV network)|Nickelodeon]].

He made a [[cameo appearance]] as both "Fred" and himself on Nickelodeon's ''[[iCarly]]'' in "iMeet Fred", which originally aired on February 16, 2009.<ref name="bw">{{cite news |url=http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/nov2008/tc20081118_508970.htm |title='Fred' Cranks Up the YouTube Views and Ad Dollars|last=Albrecht|first=Chris |date=November 18, 2008|work=[[Business Week]]|accessdate=July 7, 2009}}</ref>

[[Walden Media]] also hired Cruikshank to promote the film ''[[City of Ember]]'', along with the [[sci-fi]] novel it was based on, and cameos from the film's star [[Tim Robbins]] in Fred episodes and a mock movie trailer.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122169004968649685.html|title=Studios Hope YouTube Tie Sells Movie |last=Sanders|first=Pete|date=September 18, 2008 |publisher=The Wall Street Journal|accessdate=2008-09-19}}</ref>

Cruikshank has launched a website to promote the Fred series and sell Fred T-shirts and other merchandise. The merchandise is also available at [[Hot Topic]], [[Tween Brands|Justice]] and Five Below stores. Cruikshank has appeared on ''[[The Tyra Banks Show]]'', as well as in the ''[[Hannah Montana]]'' episode "Come Fail Away", which aired December 6, 2009.<ref>{{imdb episode|1540545|Come Fail Away}}</ref>

He appeared at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards as well as the [[2010 Kids' Choice Awards]] presenting awards to winners off-stage.

== Other channels ==
Cruikshank was originally a part of JKL Productions,<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/user/jklproduction YouTube - jklproduction's Channel]</ref> a group comprising twins '''J'''on and '''K'''atie Smet and '''L'''ucas Cruikshank, their cousin. Although Cruikshank formally left the group, JKL prefers to keep Lucas' "L" in its name. Cruikshank deleted all of his individual videos when he left JKL Productions, but he can still be seen in a few of their videos. In January 2009 he set up his own channel, called Lucas, in which he appears as himself. In the June 25, 2010, [[Annoying Orange]] episode, Cruikshank made a cameo as Fred, the first time Fred has officially appeared on a different YouTube channel.
