The character of Fred is portrayed by Lucas Cruikshank (born August 29, 1993), a teenager from Columbus, Nebraska.
Cruikshank introduced the Fred Figglehorn character in videos on the JKL Productions channel he started on YouTube with his cousins, Jon and Katie. He set up the Fred channel in October 2005. By April 2009, the channel had over 1,000,000 subscribers, making it the first YouTube channel to hit one million subscribers and the most subscribed channel at the time. However, on August 20, 2009, fellow YouTube celebrities Ryan Higa and Sean Fujiyoshi and their channel, Nigahiga, overtook the Fred channel as the most subscribed channel of all time.
The Fred channel has received over 59 million channel views and over 380 million video views since its launch. Cruishank has made numerous television appearances as both himself and Fred. Although Cruikshank voices Fred, the audio is digitally edited to sound higher pitched than Cruikshank's true voice, more effectively portraying the voice of a 6-year-old child.

Oho
Yeah, (Judy, come back your so shy)
[Chorus]
Why ya gotta keep playing hard to get,
When you know you really want me so bad,
What's the matter are you scared to face the truth,
Judy why ya gotta play shy, (Why?)
I can see the look in your eyes.
Even though you never return my calls (I call)
No (No!)
Every time you see my face (My face)
You turn and walk the other way (WHY?)
I know it's cuz' you really want me to follow (You do!)
You know!
You can't hide it, (That's right)
Even though you deny it
I still like it (I REALLY LIKE IT!)
But it's such a silly game,
Judy!
Why ya gotta keep playing hard to get! (Why?)
When you know you really want me so bad
What's the matter are you scared to face the truth
(Yeah-eh)
About me and you (Yeah-eh)
Why ya gotta keep playing hard to get! (Why, Judy?)
It's so obvious
Why do you pretend? (Everybody knows!)
Doesn't matter cuz' I know you feel it, too
You know you do.
You hang with Kevin and you don't invite me (What?!)
It's cuz' you wanna cause some jealousy (Uh huh)
Don't you know that you don't have to work that hard,
(You really don't)
No-oho!
You don't listen when I sing you this song, (Why not?)
Cuz' you don't wanna come on too strong (Uh huh!)
Maybe you're scared,
That I might break your heart! (I can never break your
heart, Judy)
Can't hide it, (Not from me girl)
Even though you deny it.
I still like it (I like it)
But it's such a silly game,
Judy!
Why ya gotta keep playing hard to get, (Why?)
When you know you really want me so bad, (That's right)
What's the matter are scared to face the truth (Just tell the truth)
About me and you
Why ya gotta keep playing hard to get (Why?)
It's so obvious,
Why do you pretend? (Come on!)
Doesn't matter cuz' I know you feel it, too (I know you do Judy)
You know you do.
I know you keep it on the down low
Cuz' you don't wanna let it show
You never felt something for somebody so bad it hurts,
That you can't reverse!
That's right!
No need to try to keep it to yourself
Don't keep your true emotions hiding up all the shelf!
I'm at your door,
Every night and day
It's kinda strange you always tell me to go away!
Why ya gotta keep playing hard to get, (Why)
When you know you really want me so bad (Judy)
What's the matter are you scared to face the truth,
(It's you and me, together forever together forever!)
About me and you
Why ya gotta keep playing hard to get, (Come on!)
It's so obvious,
Why do you pretend? (You know it's true)
Doesn't matter cuz' I know you feel it, too (Why ya
gotta be like that, huh!)
You know you do!
Why ya gotta keep playing hard to get, (OH!)
When you know you really want me so bad, (Judy! Come on
girl!)
What's the matter are you scared to face the truth,
(What's up with that?)
About me and you! (We're supposed to be together!)
Why ya gotta keep playing hard to get, (AHH! Forever!)
It's so obvious why do you pretend? (So we're together
forever!)
Doesn't matter cuz' I know you feel it, too (You know
we are!)
You know you do! (Judy! Judy! Don't be like that! Me
