Parents, Do You Know What Your Children Are Subscribing To On The Internet

I'm sorry everyone, but I refuse to suffer through this alone. WHAT IS THIS?

I don't want to date myself, but SPOILER ALERT I'm not 14, so I don't get it. That video has 1.9 million views, which is less than the 3.5 million views Fred's video titled "Fred Loses His Mind" received. He's the 9th most subscribed person on YouTube? The weirdest part is that most of the comments are positive, with very few references to Fred being gay, Fred being a retard, or Fred being a gay retard. People like this. A lot. Fred is the Twilight of vloggers. I feel so old. CHILDREN, YOUR MUSIC IS TOO LOUD. YOU'RE NOT GOING OUT WEARING THAT SHIRT. WOULD YOU LIKE A WERTHER'S ORIGINAL?

At some point in the future, this child is going to be the president of our country, and you are going to be like "wha' happened?" and the country is going to be like "deal with it grandpa" and you're going to be like "but he doesn't know anything about running a country" and the country is going to be like "he is the candidate I most want to LMAO with."

WTF. Apparently I'm old too. This is 2:40 seconds too long. People are retarded. Also, Fred's blood-covered cotton ball is gross.

That is weird - because usually people on the internet do often misuse the term "gay" to mean "stupid." Luckily you've done it for them here!

I think he was more making fun of YouTube members, who do have a habit of misusing the word gay, than using "gay" as "stupid."

Maybe our generation can vlog-fight back with videos slowed down to chop-and-screw speeds while we talk about our rheumatic joints and the good old days of the internet like that ooga chaka baby and hamster dance.

No joke, I've seen one of his videos before because my friend showed me. She showed it to like five of us, and she was laughing hysterically while the rest of us just stared confused. At the end, she was like "whatever, I thought it was funny."
