Fred Gets Kidnapped by Claudio

Fred Gets Kidnapped by Claudio is the ninth episode of the fourth season of the Fred YouTube series. It is the fifty-second episode overall.

Synopsis
An unexpected visitor is in Fred's house.

Plot
Fred begins the video with his usual greeting, only to be cut off by an off-screen person who then overpowers him. With the camera on the ground and Fred restrained, he is calmly told to be quiet and everything would be okay.

The camera is later picked up by the assailant who comes into view. He realizes Fred makes videos and reassures the audience that Fred is not hurt. Because he was non-compliant, the person had resorted to locking Fred in the dog cage.

The person introduces himself as Claudio Gregory, an eccentric man from Hawaii who has a talking belly button. He proceeds to do whatever he pleases in Fred's house, including sniffing sneakers, assuming guardianship of the neighborhood squirrels, messing with fireplace tongs, and posing in front of the bathroom mirror.

Fred's mom gets home and Fred cries out for help from the cage. Claudio tells him that he claims Fred's mom as his mom now, only for Fred's mom to incapacitate him because he is a house intruder. Pleading with her, Claudio offers to pay monthly rent to live in the house, which she accepts.

After Fred is released from the cage (once his mom remembers he is in there), he processes the new living situation to the audience. He decides that he just has to deal with it and signs off (along with Claudio).
