Old Fred Still Annoying After All These Years

Tipster Chris sent in this video with a note.

"This guy is spot-on as Fred from Youtube. So does that make him the best or the worst? I am confused by the rules."

No problem, Chris. I'm happy to help. It makes him the worst.

I mean, he did a good job of taking something completely unbearable and making a similarly unbearable parody of it. Congratulations? In any case, no big deal. Because at first I was worried that this was a really sad guy and we don't make fun of really sad guys, but he's not! His name is Greg Benson and he's got his own website, and he's been in tons of nationally broadcast weed-killer commercials and everything, so he's doing fine. Acting!

Although, this video could have obviously been more accurate since we all know that in 40 years Fred will be President of the United States AND the CEO of Brawndo Inc.

This just goes to show even a parody of something terrible doesn't change it's terribleness.

Remember that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where the Nazis opened the Ark and everyone's face started melting by looking at it? I don't want to say that Old Fred made my face melt, but yeah, Old Fred made my face melt off. Anybody know a good plastic surgeon?

Thanks for the clarification, Gabe. I thought maybe a parody of the worst would make it the best, but instead it is the double worst. GOTCHA. Do I graduate now? Videogum Class of '09!

This is how future-parents will teach their kids future-wisdom: two wrongs don't make a right.

When doing a parody, it's always important to wear a tshirt describing your parody. (Unless Fred wears a Fred Tshirt, but I refuse to do that research.)

Actually, Fred does wear a Fred shirt in all of his videos. Please don't ask me why I know this.

People that like this also dress up as the characters of Twilight while watching it.
