Fred on Election Day

Fred on Election Day is the tenth episode of the second season of the Fred YouTube series. It is the twenty-eighth episode overall.

Synopsis
The class has spoken. Will Fred be the new President?

Plot
It's the day of the class president election and Fred is visibly excited for the outcome. Encouraged by the posters he had put up attacking Kevin, he is confident in his ability to win.

Once he gets back, Fred is extremely upset at having lost the election. He reveals that it wasn't him or even Kevin that won, but a third candidate-- a girl named Cleopatra. Although he is slightly glad that Kevin did not win, Fred complains that Cleopatra didn't even have any ideas or promoted her campaign. So he tries taking his anger out on a stuffed bunny as a stand-in for her.

He says that Cleopatra didn't do anything mean and blames Kevin for dragging him into this mudslinging fight. He is disappointed that he now cannot implement his ideas like extra homework and cancelled recess.

Once he calms down, Fred concedes that Cleopatra deserves the position because she did not make fun of other people, and he takes solace in the fact that Kevin isn't running their class-- even being amused at Kevin's reaction at the results.

Fred admits he was very mad initially, but he reflects that he does not deserve to be president because of the actions he had done during his campaign. He advises the audience to be a "sweet pickle" and everything will work out better for them.

The episode ends with Fred saying he has to go tell his mom he used a lot of money to make his buttons.
