For the record, I am almost embarrassed to be posting this for the daily ZONINO...but I can't help it. In a week, I'm sure I will hate it, but for today it is worthy. We're a fickle bunch here...
The character of Fred Figglehorn is a six-year old boy who documents his daily trials of dealing with life as an early elementary-aged kid, except Fred is pretty messed up. His man-voiced mother who seems to always be hung-over, drunk, or not present; the girl of his dreams, Judy, who refuses to give him the time of day; and the kindergarten class bully, Kevin, all make up the supporting characters in these little vignettes of Fred's life.
Apparently extremely popular for some time now, the "Fred Channel" has been one of the most viewed ever in the history of YouTube. The creator, and character of Fred himself, in a teenager from Columbus, Nebraska, named Lucas Cruikshank (thank you Wikipedia!) who evidently has a lot of time on his hands and a good amount of spastic creativity.
Some videos to get you started, if you can handle Fred's voice, randomness, and screeching:
Fred Goes Swimming (the most viewed of all the Fred series)
Fred Gets Detention
