Fred and Weezer Go to the Moon

Fred and Weezer Go to the Moon is a spin-off episode of the Fred YouTube series. It premiered on September 13, 2010.

Synopsis
Fred goes to pitch his new album to a record company, but ends up booking Weezer to play a concert on the moon!

Plot
Fred goes to Hollywood in an attempt to sell his album Who's Ready To Party? to a record label. While waiting in the lobby, Fred grows bored and challenges a decorative fern to a game of hide-and-go-seek. Fred runs off and searches for a hiding spot before ending up in an empty office. While messing with the phone, he calls the receptionist and lists demands. Confused, the receptionist states that she's sending a group in to meet with him. Fred then hides under the desk in a panic.

The members of the band Weezer proceed into the office, Fred initially brushing them off as "just Weezer" before realizing that that is, in fact, the band Weezer. Fred ecstatically greets them. Weezer collectively assumes that Fred must be their new agent, a falsehood that Fred happily indulges. Fred plays his album for them which the band members begrudgingly dance to. Brian Bell compliments the song but asks Fred why they were called in. Fred says that since they are already the biggest band in the world, they should look to go bigger. He presents a plan to have Weezer perform on the moon in order for them to become biggest band in the universe.

The band is at least a bit skeptical, so Rivers Cuomo calls for a "Weezer huddle." Speaking for the band, Pat Wilson says that they have decided that they will play on the moon. After shaking hands, the band leaves the room. Cuomo then re-enters the room holding a fern, handing it to Fred. When inspecting the fern, Fred sees a note that says "You're it!"

The video ends with a promotional card advertising Fred: The Movie, Fred's first album, a sweepstakes, the video "Ted Tigglecorn Interviews Fred Figglehorn," the "Who's Ready to Party?" music video, and finally, Weezer's new album at the time, Hurley.

History
To promote their new album Hurley, Weezer lent themselves to fifteen content creators on YouTube in what they referred to as "The YouTube Invasion." The band would go along with whatever the creator could execute in about thirty minutes. These creators, of course, included Lucas Cruikshank and his Fred series. Other notable creators included Tay Zonday, Ray William Johnson, and the Annoying Orange.
