Surprisingly enough, what most people never knew is that guy got his start just fucking around and making sketches with an amature troupe of friends.
And, assuming you were young enough to be the target demographic for their humor, they were actually pretty good.
It was typical teenager shit. The only sketch I remember was them doing ding-dong-ditch. Except in this version they didn’t ditch. They’d knock, or ring the doorbell, and then do some weird awkward interaction when the door opens. But you gotta remember, this was 2006. Nobody knew why you’d show up on their doorstep with 5 cameras, and do this. Today you’d immediately ask what their youtube channel was. Back then it was like “wtf is happening right now???”
They also had a pickles song, and a taco song. Which I forget so much that I made up my own lyrics, and then one day stumbled on the old video only to find the lyrics I was remembering wasn’t even close.
I sing “taco taco, and have another burrito!” Which is never once said.
The other interesting thing is that the whole act was totally stolen. Makemebad25 was doing the whole FRED bit waaaaaayyyyyy before FRED. He never called himself FRED, and he was a bit more adult with his Damian character, but otherwise it was a total ripoff.
And now, 15 years later, and neither one of them have been heard from in a decade. FRED looked 16 when he was famous, and Makemebad25 was like 22.
Oh god I remember him, wonder whatever happened to the guy

So I’m sure they’re both balding dads by now.
