• Quotes

  "...My mom bought me this new video editing software as a gift, and when I was playing with it I realized it had this effect to make a voice sound all squeaky. I thought it sounded hilarious, and came up with 6-year-old Fred and posted 'Fred on Halloween,' which was kind of a tongue-in-cheek way of poking fun at people on YouTube who post video blogs showing and talking about everything they do. I actually hated "Fred" at first and at one point wanted to kill him off, so I sure understand why there are people who don't like Fred and find him annoying. Fred IS the person you wouldn't want to be around in real life because he's annoying, but he's also got heart and vulnerablility, which is part of what I think draws the fans to him too."—Lucas CruikshankNewTeeVee: Fred Speaks to NTV (Squeaky Voice Not Included (June 25, 2008)
