Fred on Father's Day

Fred on Father's Day is the fifteenth episode of the first season of the Fred YouTube series.

Synopsis
Fred celebrates Father's Day even though he doesn't live with his dad.

Plot
After giving the usual intro and because he's never seen him before, Fred says he's going to write a letter to his father (at the suggestion of his school guidance counselor).

He says that his mom told him he was a rockstar and has told him why he wasn't around. Fred's father had left while she was pregnant with Fred because he didn't want a child.

Because he doesn't know where he lives, Fred asks his mom, who tells him that he's in the state pen; this shocked him since that's where bad people go to. Fred then says that he had a dream where he met his dad and he turned out to be really nice.

He then looks out the window to see Judy playing with her dad outside and makes fun of her, as if she was being smug and showing off.

Fred asks his mom why they never visit his father, and she says that he was on death row. Fred thinks that when his father gets out of the state pen, his parents will fall in love again. He goes on to say that even though he's okay just having a mom, sometimes he also wants a dad, to teach him things and protect him. He says that when he sees kids with their fathers, he gets sad.

Fred proceeds to write the letter and put it in the mailbox, adding in pictures he had taken from the previous episode. The episode finishes with him hoping to be a backup singer for his rockstar dad one day.
