The Fred The Movie Sequels are TERRIBLE

hmm all right let's just do my weekly scone for epic youtube video ideas i can steal wait a second a review of the fred movie you move here from dumbsville but i've already done two of those did he at least acknowledge it being a postmodern masterpiece call me crazy but i saw potential in it don't tell me you actually enjoyed it oh no the movie's dog [ __ ] oh no the movies dog [ __ ] what the hell why was i told about this if i'd know not i wouldn't have let my voice talk to this video this is a nightmare dumbsville why didn't you tell me i i did i i told you before i made the video i don't even want to hear dumbsville you've gone too far this time but those unaware fred is a character created by lucas krurkshank that took the world by storm well youtube by storm at least all the way back in 2006 through the process of acting like a spoiled child and pitch shifting this voice to create this really squeaky tone look i can do it too where's my 3 million subscribers anyways executives were really trying hard to figure out how to tap into the youtube market whatever way they could and i guess this software is the perfect starting point and with that they had tried to turn the fred name into a brand he made special appearances on children's sitcoms at the time such as hannah montana and an entire icarly episode that was dedicated to him which was actually my first exposure to the guy and beyond that a feature-length film that was released in 2010 even being shown in uk theaters which is how i saw it the film was universally planned of course but surprisingly it did well enough in terms of readings but if you've seen my previous videos on the subject you'd actually know that i enjoy this film quite a bit but why though mark but just why do i like fred the movie so much well out of fear of this turning into my third video about why i like the fred movie i'll just briefly say that while i would never necessarily call the fred movie good i like it way more than i should and it comes from the fact that nothing is taken seriously for a majority of it for the first r doesn't feel like any scene correlates or contributes to a larger narrative fred goes to a water park sure a pet store why not this simple gimmick of him trying to get to the girl of his dream's house means they can really just pop him anywhere on his journey and see what comes out of that it's the process of taking this insane character who in any other film would be in a mental asylum and just putting him in a regular suburban neighborhood that really appeals to me it means we get such stellar scenes as fred screaming over his mama bite judy moving to i don't know they asked me to forward the mail why didn't you tell me or when he and the school jock argue by who is the better singing voice it's just that right level of absurd for me i've been told since day one i have perfect [ __ ] i mean i can reach i can reach all the notes then of course this all builds up to the scene where he finally gets to judy's house where we get the reveal that judy barely knows who he is and that fred has basically formulated this one-sided relationship where he believes the most popular girl at school in him are a couple and him simply going to her heist will prove it of course that's when the entire movie collapses and we get the completely shallow ending where fred becomes popular and suddenly judy likes him nia and he accepts her love instead of telling her to piss off for being so shallow but up until then the movie is basically perfect i can't think of a single flaw but did you know viewer there are two more brad movies mark no i totally didn't know this information beforehand this totally isn't readily available oh yeah dumbsville that's right you really want to see just how i bought the first movie could have been well let's just jump right into the 2011 film fred ii knight of the living fred that title is [ __ ] stupid sadly this one didn't premiere in theaters we would only get the chance to witness fred too on the small screen this is a halloween movie that revolves around fred thinking that his new music teacher mr devlin is a vampire and we see his many escapades in trying to prove himself right right off the bat you can tell the immediate problems of threaten this hey it's fred my life is a horror movie it's so scary i'm so scared we're only at the second film and looks already we're too old to be playing the part of fred back in his youtube videos he was able to just speed up the clip to make his voice sound squeaky but since that would be impossible to coordinate with other actors they had to make the controversial decision that fred connoisseurs such as myself are still debating to this day and that is the bold choice of pitch shifting fred's voice instead [Applause] it was different sure but in the first movie i still think it worked rather well i mean when he screams you know you can really feel that by gosh right in your ear drums as they start to bleed but but you know bleeding a good way what do you mean in a good way that's like a medical emergency unfrayed too he's clearly hit puberty now so his voice just consistently signs off it's awful why am i even in this dumb video if you're just gonna interrupt everything i say so yeah right off the bat fred has already been made 10 times more insufferable than in the first film if that were even possible not letting you talk again until you read the line to christ fine wow mark after watching this video everyone should go and check out your sonic channel that definitely isn't yours where they can watch videos just like this only about sonic the hedgehog that doesn't even correlate with friends so around the time that this movie was erin fred also received his very own tv show a nick called fred the show and with the first film being in production before the series it meant a lot of stuff was blind to change the first movie definitely feels like it's based on the youtube videos but the second one feels more like it's based off fred the show with the same schools and that series and the same actors although there is some carryover from the first not one of those carryovers was judy fred's me in love interest who was so ashamed of being in the first film that our managers refused to let her do anymore which i honestly don't blame him for have you ever wondered why pixie was only in the first fred movie her management wouldn't let her do the other ones like i said before this movie like the first features a quite simple story mostly just as an excuse to have fred go between random comedic set pieces however this time instead of an across the street trip fred believes that his new music teacher is a vampire and must go sleuthing around to get evidence of this he is spoilers i guess it's honestly kind of a cruel movie but but in a bad way see the first fred movie was also cruel but it was mostly directed towards fred nobody likes him so when he does something dumb or crazy and gets his comeuppance i find it genuinely funny because it's deserved but here fred basically destroys a man's life and devotes all his time into trying to prove he's a child murderer just because he replaced fred's old music teacher and didn't think he was all that great at piano that's all it does this one thing that i really hate about these mystery stories where mr devlin acts really ominous and his tone is always so antagonistic leading you to believe he's a vampire if you're a simpleton but the second the audience finds out he's not such a bad guy his attitude completely shifts and he acts entirely differently now because the audience is supposed to like him that's not even a fred problem that's just an issue with a lot of these twist villain stories but again no fred just completely ruined his life and makes everyone think he's a freak by filming the insides of his home without any consent and then act surprised when people start to actually believe him like suddenly they're the crazy one for thinking it's real i think an issue is that for as simple as the story is the movie is surprisingly bloated like i think back to the first one and it is so incredibly basic in a way that makes it succeed in my books think about all the main characters that fred interacts with in that one it's just kevin his mum judy and bertha and most of the time when they talk it's only a couple lines like for a majority of the film fred is a solo protagonist the other characters are used to set pieces simple foils to get in fred's way like the structure of the film is basically fred is by himself and has this weird deluded fantasy about how he thinks things are going to go exactly the way he wants them to then he immediately messes it up and faces the consequences the movie is basically that for 80 minutes but fred 2's is only a little bit more complicated and it somehow causes the whole thing to fall apart fred still has those deluded fantasies and messes stuff up but it's treated as a regular occurrence here there's a scene where he imagines the music teacher turning into a fly and sucking his blood and he just wakes back up again on the floor of the school and everyone just acts like nothing happened ready to go to class that's a good suggestion [Music] you're not gonna do anything about that bertha wait a second you're not bertha you're just just just chibi the cheapskate yeah so jeanette mccurdy was apparently too busy to reprise her role as bertha for these next two movies and infrared the show so they had to get down yellow moon to replace her who was just an infinitely worse actress this should have just cut her out entirely like judy i mean they already introduced another girl here who's also weirding into fred kevin's sister who they like want to create some sort of love triangle around with but who in their right mind would ever be interested in being friends with fred never mind dating him see what i mean about him just no longer being a weird friendless loser anymore they tone it down slightly enough to make it so he can socialize with other characters but not enough to the point where it makes him feel natural not he can fit in with them which ruins what i liked most about the first friend movie fred's insanity but it doesn't go far enough in the other direction so that makes this one make sense it's so bizarre what they ended up with that it's hard to describe and that's not to say there aren't moments of enjoyment in this movie believe you me there are fun times to be had but they're always the moments that remind me of how you acted in the first film like there's this one part where fred is planning to break into the school's piano recital and shoot everyone with garlic sauce to reveal the vampires as to who they really are these people will not be your minions fred so he waltz on in and shoots everyone up and it's revealed that they actually are vampires fred sees the day yadda yada so of course that's just his fantasy sequence but then we see how it actually goes and he basically shuts up the school of his water gun with everyone screaming and thinking he's a freak which is hilarious but the only bad part here is that by the next scene fred just comes back into school like nothing happened pretty sure he would have gotten suspended after all that but nope all that happens is kevin makes fun of him for a second and might i say kevin is consistently the best thing about these movies this movie shimmers when it wears its stereotypes on its sleeve like kevin is such a funny jock stereotype to me because i can't tell if him being generic is intentional or not on one end you have parts where he's wearing a hat with the letter k on it on a shirt that just says me which makes it seem like it were intentional but then i remember it's fred2 night of the living fred and i doctor writer gave that much of a [ __ ] about this but for every funny part like this there's 20 awful drawn art parts like fred cooking a sock fred you're not supposed to do that you idiot overall this movie is really bad if someone who likes fred one tells you this movie sucks then you know it sucks hard they somehow made the characters worse the conflict's completely pointless and i didn't even mention it but the editing is so bizarre with some of the choices that make i mean i need a woman who's going to challenge me a little more [Music] like what the hell was it that pause there wow mark i didn't even watch the movie i'm just reading lines off the script here but that was terrible boy have i sure learned my life oh dumbsville you silly [ __ ] idiot we're not done yet now we gotta watch fred three comp fred well mark i mean i already we're watching fred three goddammit just sit down and shut up releasing in 2012 fred three camp fred was the third and final fred movie to be made i assumed it a little readings even for the time the other two fred movies did extremely well with the first having seven and a half million people watching it and the second one around six with this one sadly only having around three but didn't the people want to know why this thrilling trilogy ends this one starts in the most obnoxious way with the massive within their budget musical number about fred and knighting the beginning of summer i love it because they're trying to establish this skill we know next to nothing about only to ditch it and never go back there in the next scene i don't understand it at all these actors should not be put anywhere near a classroom just look at kevin's actor who at this point in time was let me just uh oh he was only 22 but like okay that's not so bad but like he still doesn't look like he belongs so the plot of this masterpiece is that fred is all excited to go at a summer comp at this really prestigious place but his mom could only afford to send him to camp i want a pp i think this is a really funny name by the way just just be prepared to hear it a lot at this point the film literally just hits a brick wall and they have no idea what they want to do for the rest of it there is no plot to speak of they just keep jumping between different b stories until the movie ends for a while it's like a mystery movie where fred wants to find out why all the kids are getting sick and is worried the camp is killing them so he wanders around having this adventure for a while but when he realizes nothing is wrong and the writers realize they have 40 minutes of the film left or right it just turns into one of those generic summer camp game things against their rival camp with a bunch of antagonists we've never seen before and kevin who basically disappeared for off the film who they really want to amp up as this like evil threat like he was never evil before he was just a dumb jock why are you ruining the classic character of kevin like this they just waste so much time setting up the camp expecting you to care or at least go wow how weird is that again it's that problem with the second one except turned up to a hundred where for some goddamn reason in this goddamned fred movie they want you to treat freyad as the street man what the entire crux of the comedy relies on fred seeing something weird and camp and being crapped out by it or disgusted it just simply doesn't work you're taking a weird character and putting him in a weird setting how do you not realize the issue there fred has evolved too much they're turning him into too much of a character here in the first movie he was just a psycho he spoke gibberish half the time she's my girlfriend judy but they really want to sell him as the protagonist here that desperately want you to like him and to wish that he gets home but i do not give a [ __ ] because this is fred three cup [ __ ] fred you seeing the hop side of a fridge that's the best moment yes i'm seriously trying to analyze fred 3 fight me this movie is just painful to watch in the first two there were at least a couple shining moments of creativity but this is just the most cookie cutter nickelodeon sitcom made for tv movie their ever dang was fred shouldn't have been playing fred at this point he's way too old here not only has he grown like three foot but his voice jesus christ is voiced pps catching a bird is way harder than i thought it'd be so i'm just gonna send it via slingshotted mouse instead he just cannot do it anymore plain and simple it sounds like it's taking such a strain on him to do and he barely even has to do any work since it's all done in post but when he tries to do the iconic thread scream you can feel his vocal chords being shattered it's hard to listen to they like sit him down with teenagers and expect me to believe they're the same age and speaking of his friends fred makes a bunch of new friends at this summer camp and they're all the most basic stereotypes you can imagine we have characters like the token black kid who likes to dig holes i wonder if that'll come into play later the girl who's always eating wow i wonder i wonder if she's going to eat later and of course the fat kid who never speaks do you think do you think do you think he's gonna speak literally the only character is worth talking about again rather than john cena is kevin this guy cars are way too much about giving a good performance which is weird because according to lucas during the filming of the first fred movie the actor for kevin walked up to him and said he was only doing the film because his manager told him to i mean hell props to him for trying clearly no one else was bertha is in it for his one scene of the film and then disappears john cena is in it for one scene and then disappears and despite only being in a small handful of scenes fred's mom makes her awful presence known in the first movie she was fred's alcoholic mom that was it she liked to take naps and that was all then in the second one they tried giving her more to do is she was in a relationship with a presumed vampire and of course to make a good impression on him she played up that flamboyant energy it wasn't good but it made sense at least but here she just has that exact same energy for no reason and it makes her so insufferable she says every line like this and it's so annoying if she were in the movie more it says she's worse than fred now saying all that was there anything i actually liked about fred three camp fred uh i thought this joke was fun i laughed really hard when kevin showed up with a group of other kids and one of them was like a 50 year old man but that clearly wasn't intentional uh yeah i think that's about it go on you guys aren't even gonna laugh at a burp it's the second funniest sound the human body can make that was the writer of fred three in the end i'm glad i decided to watch these movies again and properly discuss them because without a doubt it showed me just why i like the original fred movie so much again i must make it clear that it is not a good movie but i like it and the reason i like it so much are the exact same reasons why i dislike these other two although for some reason i think people see all these films as being of similar quality so next time you see someone say that link them this video or just call him an idiot i don't care now all that's left to spread the word of fred some more is talk about fred the show and marvin marvin but that's a story for another day so dumbsville can you finally see the light now wow mark you are totally right now that you have shown me all of these movies i take back everything i said about it in my dog ass garbage bad stupid lame dumb video and acknowledge that i dumbsville a very bad youtuber can now acknowledge fred the movie as a postmodern scorsese and flawless work of art that truly deserves a spot in the criterion collection mark i'm not [ __ ] reading too late mark wins again i'm doing you pride lucas i'm doing you pride [Music] [Applause] [Applause] you
