Fred Meets Bertha

Fred Meets Bertha is the seventeenth episode of the first season of the Fred YouTube series.

Synopsis
Fred meets a girl named Bertha outside the community bar. Bertha seems really nice, but is she really?

Plot
Fred starts off announcing he's going to meet a new friend named Bertha while their moms go to the bar together. He recounts the last time he played outside the bar where some kids had threatened to beat him up, but Fred claimed that he threatened them back and successfully scared them off.

Once he gets home, Fred relays how everything went. Bertha was nice to him and was a popular second-grader, so he hopes hanging out with her would make Judy jealous at some point. Bertha had told him to throw a beer bottle at car, which Fred obliged, only to get scolded by people from the bar. However, she was impressed, and told Fred to do other bad things like push an old guy in a wheelchair into a wall, which Fred was reluctant to do.

Bertha told Fred a story about a house where ghosts come out every year and scare six-year-olds. He tried acting tough on the outside, but was scared on the inside. At the end of their hangout, Fred wanted to kiss her hand, although Bertha said she hadn't washed her hands in three days.

Fred starts recounting a story of when he and his mom went for a palm reading. But then he starts hearing sounds in his house and getting increasingly scared, up to the point of calling 911, although it didn't really help.

The sounds continued until Bertha revealed herself to be making the scary noises in order to freak out Fred, who wasn't very happy about it. The episode ends with Bertha calling him a loser and Fred feeling embarrassed about the ordeal as she left.
