Oh, Here's That Borderline-Racist Fred Parody No One Asked For

thumbnail icon: Oh, Here's That Borderline-Racist Fred Parody No One Asked For

Sure, Fred is basically the worst (and when he is inevitably elected President of the United States, he will be the Commander in Worst). But at least Fred was an original. He blazed new trails of awful. These Fred parodists are not bringing much to the table. Now there is a new one, a guy named Namskie, who plays a character named Fu, who does impressions of people. Or something. The guy's YouTube profile is Transformers 2-caliber complicated. In addition to characters, he does a lot of song parodies, like "Kiss Me Through MySpace," and "I Bow Like a Chino" (which may actually be an original. I have no idea what is going on here). He also played a hilarious April Fool's Prank in which he was "gay." Perfect. MAD TV just called and they said if they ever get back on the air, this kid is definitely on the short list for the permanent cast.

In this video he does a borderline-racist Fred parody.

He doesn't want to study for the SAT, he's only six years old. But his father, General Tso, is so mean and his mother, Ching Chong, barely speaks English!

Woof. I take back the part where I said this video was borderline-racist. There is nothing borderline about it. I also take back the part where I said these Fred parodists weren't bringing anything to the table. Because they are bringing racism to the table! You have to take off your shoes and kneel, though. Get it? STEREOTYPES ABOUT TYPES OF TABLES.

I will never understand why races continue to by racist towards their own race.

Because then you think white people are laughing with you, not at you.

But you are oh so wrong.

I thought it was pretty funny. It's okay for you to make fun of your own race.. sometimes.

I think people of all races should agree to thank Gabe for protecting them from themselves. Except white people, obvs, because we have it so easy and clearly want for nothing.

I think Videogum is destroying my faith in the human race at a quicker rate than actual news. Case in point - not only did someone shoot this video and thought the world should see it, but it has five stars.


And no one's gone to see The Hurt Locker. Call me when it's all burned to the ground.

This is the first time I've ever voted you down.

You know how much of a caricature of an Asian kid Russell was? So racist that someone had to actually contact Pixar to see whether he was actually racist or just fat.

No, no. That's ok; Russell had racist tourette's so you're right. I wasn't offended because that's a real thing but the rest of the theater didn't seem into it.

I think you're way off on this one, Gabe. This kid is the Sacha Baron Cohen of Freds, and the entire YouTube community are his victims. He's forcing them to confront their own presumptions about his people. Or at least, that's what he's going to tell people in 10 years when these videos are still on the Internet.

I remember when I first saw Fred I tried to come up with a way to parody but than realized that it is impossible to parody Fred without being at least as annoying as Fred. Wish the rest of youtube would figure that out.
