This article has had at least two recent incarnations... one which was
recently sent to AFD, deleted and set as a redirect, and another which was more recently created under a slightly different name and
sent to AFD. Now that now that the film has completed principle filming, and expecting that there will be more coverage over the next few weeks, I re-wrote the article myself under its proper title, added proper sourcing, and then moved my work to
WP:INCUBATE. Were it should find the attention it needs. Schmidt,MICHAEL Q.00:45, 28 December 2009 (UTC)reply
Please Note:
This is NOT the original article that was deleted, nor the one that was set as a redirect. Those both suffered from lack of content and context and had little to no sourcing. This one is a new article that simply shares a similar name. So editors please note... this is not just recreated material... it is an improved effort that handles the topic properly.

I'm pretty sure the father is Fred's imagination. He states at the beginning that he only has a mom. As well at the end it is implied the man on the toilet is the father.

I agree, I do not believe John Cena is his dad...Its his imagination. At the end, his mom states that she dated that guy 15 years ago, and Fred is 15....so...Its implying that the man was probably his dad. TropicalAnalystwx13 01:46, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
I agree, I think all the scenes with John Cena were imaginary. I am actually not sure if all the encounters with Derf were real either.

Is the link and reference to A Serbian Film really needed? I don't see the point in redirecting anyone who happens across this article to an article about a rape exploitation film. —Preceding

The reviewer related this film as being as bad as A Serbian Film, and so having the other film linked to it so one can compare this film with the other directly, via wikipedia. Personally, I think this would be somewhat more painful to watch than A Serbian Film, but I don't believe I will be watching either at any time in the near future. Wiki is not censored, as is rightly pointed out above, and A Serbian Film IS related, in so far as the review compares the horror of this film to it, and judges them equal.

I came to the Talk page because I had the same concern as the original poster. On the whole, I don't think that the link to A Serbian Film lends anything to an understanding of Fred, and doesn't immediately have a reason to be in the article. On the other, it does lend to an understanding of how poorly critics received the film. It could be replaced with a sufficient reference to critical reception of the film. — Preceding

Recent edits about it's "amazing" reception
Recent edits have completely gone against what sources such as Rotten Tomatoes have displayed. Can all these changes be reverted and this page be locked against unregistered users. Clearly this is quite a popular vandalism page.

The page says the film grossed £838,617 in the UK, and that it was a 'box office bomb,' but what was the international gross? Might have done better internationally.

I feel that when a user reads that this movie is based off the
Fred Figglehorn internet video series, they would expect the film to somehow fit within the storyline of the well known series. This article should include a section on how the movies are their own storyline, because of the differences, ie. the age of Fred, and the use of YouTube. I fear, however, that the explanation with timelines, and
canon, may be too advanced for the young readers that this article attracts. Any suggestions?

Agreed. And anyways, you don't really need that information. For example, the
The Twilight Saga is based off of the original
Twilight Series, yet, they both lie in different timelines. But there is no mention of that on there article because there is NO NEED to.--

No comment on the worthiness of such a section. Just a note that while there is not a section specifically on timeline differences, there is (in the main "saga" article, and in at least the first movie's article) rather large sections on differences in development between the book and the films.

If any work is based off a previously existing work, its article should mention how they are related, and how the new one was produced off of this existing work.

I agree that a general statement on the relationship is needed, e.g., "This film is based on the original videos, but Fred is now X years old; in the videos, he was only Y." Any further explanation, such as how it can't be the same timeline because of how long YouTube has been around, is heading down the path of
original research—and that's not allowable. —C.Fred (

I don't understand how some people can feel so strongly not to mention that this film was based off of previously existing content. It's a simple encyclopedic fact.

I'm sorry, I don't find that a convincing argument. I think that the origins of a film plot and characters are very notable, and should be included in an encyclopaedia article. If no film article were to discuss the production process, they wouldn't have much of an article, would they? Could you please further explain your comments? Thanks,

Well you see, that information that you put in that article does not explain the origins of a film plot and characters. All it does is point out that Fred was younger in the video series than he was in the movie. But you see, how do we know that they are on these different "timelines" that you speak of? Maybe this was just an error, or maybe he did age in some weird way. You have no source of this information, and since it is invaild, it must be removed. Plus, the fact that this movie was based on the Youtube account is already said in the beginning of the article. --

Yea, I just realized that. My bad. You used to put that. Still, the fact that this movie was based on the Youtube account is already said in the beginning of the article. And the whole "age" thing doesn't really matter.--

Flipping through channels, on the scene in this movie where Fred is making a youtube or music video that features pelvis shots and near up-the-dress shots of young girls. You know, for kids. --
