One day my son was watching iCarly and afterwards he comes to me and asks, “Dad, have you heard of Fred?” “Fred who?” I replied. “I dunno, it’s just Fred. Here, watch.” Then he showed me a video of Fred on YouTube. I laughed my a** off. Later that week the previously mentioned iCarly episode was re-run. I was amazed how much screen presence he had considering his minimal TV experience. Then, my son showed me this interview…
One thing that I have always said is: ‘Just because someone has a job doing “X”, it doesn’t mean he/she is any good at it.’ This applies to the above knucklehead Hollywood agents. I mean… THIS KID IS ONLY 15! I can’t even imagine what someone with his talent, at his age is capable of next. I agree with 1TimStreet, Lucas IS going places.

Hey Joe,

Thanks for the comment.

Now imagine you were having a party at The Blind Onion Pizza Company, maybe a little league party and some guy from a local garage comes into the party and says, “Wow, you kids are great baseball players very cool! Keep up the good work!” Then he starts yelling at all the parents, “Now, just wondering, do your kids know about the “My Auto Repair Shop” here in the Northwest and at least Nevada?

The name of the mascot for My Auto Repair Shop is in fact — “Baseball.” And in fact it is a — “Baseball.” If you or your parents have a baseball (and you bring it to m shop), I’ll give you a gallon of gas on your birthday.

Try and strike up an advertising deal with them. My Auto Repair is the best in the country! (No joke.)”

Would you ask the guy to leave your Pizza place or would you let him keep yelling?

Even one-trick ponies can be worth a lot of bucks by performing just ONE GOOD TRICK that enough people love to see. There’s also been lots and lots of musical artists who have come and gone in a flash with a ONE-HIT SINGLE to their credit.

The boy can make a big hit out of this for himself even if it is a one-curtain show. Who cares?! If people made a multi-millionaire out of the inventor of “pet rocks” back in the ’70s, then they’ll make Fred one, too. The odds of missing the opportunity have gotta be like missing the broad side of a barn whereas the lad has a showing of over a million subscribers and pulls in a million-plus views a week.

Now, just wondering, does Fred know about the “Blind Onion Pizza Company” here in the Northwest and at least Nevada?

The name of the mascot for the Blind Onion Pizza Company is in fact — “FRED.” And he is an — “onion.” If your name is Fred (and you can prove it with a photo I.D. card), the pizza joint will give you a free beer on your birthday. (Sorry, son, you’re not old enough to drink beer yet.)

Try and strike up an advertising deal with them. The pizzas are among the best in the country! (No joke.)

I forgot to tell those of you who don’t already know: If you were wondering How does Fred make his voice sound funny? Lucas just speeds up his audio track when he’s editing his video to make Fred’s voice sound that way. He doesn’t inhale helium.

I think the people who say he is a one trick pony of the aforementioned adults who don’t get why kids love this show. If you can get past the conceit of the voice (which is, I admit, quite difficult) then the shows are not just random shouting – they have form and meaning, too.

Lucas has created a happening using what was available to him and if he wants to go further then I’m sure he will. He has made a great start and, if he gets some decent advice, he should do well. It’s good that he is aiming high – if he didn’t then he would get nowhere. I wish him all the best and hope his next work places less reliance on chipmunk technology.
