Throughout the years, [[Hanna-Barbera]], [[Cartoon Network]], and [[Warner Bros. Animation]], as well as book and video game publishers, have conceived several incarnations, which don't always fit together because new writers have come on board and disregarded what has come before or there has been a complete reboot, but the general concept has been the same, perhaps except for [[DC Comics]]' radically altered ''[[Scooby Apocalypse]]''.

==Character description==
==Character description==
Fred is a teenager with blonde hair and a broad physique. His uniform consists of a white sweater over a blue shirt, blue pants, and brown shoes. His most famous attribute is his orange ascot. Alternatively in ''[[A Pup Named Scooby-Doo]]'', he instead wears black sneakers and has a white sweater with orange stripes on his sleeves. In ''[[What's New, Scooby-Doo?]]'', he traded his ascot for a white sweater with blue stripes.
Throughout the years, Fred's role as the leader of Mystery Inc. has largely been the same. He usually takes the lead in solving mysteries and mostly accompanies [[Daphne Blake|Daphne]] with him; sometimes with [[Velma Dinkley|Velma]] also, and other times without her. He is seen constructing various Rube Goldberg-type traps for villains, which [[Scooby-Doo]] and/or [[Shaggy Rogers|Shaggy]] often set off by mistake and allow the villain to be captured the other way. Although a nice guy, Fred can get pretty bossy at times, forcing Shaggy and Scooby to take part in getting the villain despite their fears and/or better judgment. Fred was originally level-headed and confident in his earlier appearances, though this has been shaken up in other incarnations of his character.
As a child in ''A Pup Named Scooby-Doo'', Fred is the polar opposite of his older self, being less intelligent, more hyperactive and superstitious. He frequently gets picked on by bully [[Red Herring (Scooby-Doo)|Red Herring]], and is always the one to accuse him on many accounts of a mystery. He is a subscriber to the ''[[National Exaggerator]]'' magazine, believing in "real" monsters and making up some wild conspiracies.
Fred's interests include traps, solving mysteries, martial arts,<ref name="WNSD 310">''[[What's New, Scooby-Doo?]]'': "[[Block-Long Hong Kong Terror]]," season 3, episode 10 ([[2005]]).</ref> wrestling,<ref name="WNSD 304">''What's New, Scooby-Doo?'': "[[Wrestle Maniacs (What's New)|Wrestle Maniacs]]," season 3, episode 4 (2005).</ref> and weightlifting;<ref name="WNSD 214">''What's New, Scooby-Doo?'': "[[Uncle Scooby and Antarctica]]," season 2, episode 14 ([[2004]]).</ref> a recurring joke in ''What's New, Scooby-Doo?'' is that he would boast about bench pressing 220.

Fred went through three different names before ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' aired. He began as Geoff, then Harvey, then Ronnie in storyboards, until Fred Silverman, then head of [[CBS]]' children's programming, recommended his own name.
When developing ''Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!'', co-creator [[Jon Colton Barry]] patterned Fred on Gene Wilder's character Frederick Frankenstein from the [[1974]] film ''Young Frankenstein''.

==Behind the scenes==
* Despite popular belief that Fred has no catchphrase, it is suggested in most appearances that his catchphrases are something similar to "Another mystery solved", "Let's split up" and "Looks like we have a(nother) mystery on our hands". Despite this, he does not have a catchphrase when suprised like with the other Mystery Inc. members (e.g. "Zoinks!", "Jinkies!", and "Jeepers!").
** Fred shamefully admits not having it at one point in ''[[Scooby-Doo! and the Samurai Sword (film)|Scooby-Doo! and the Samurai Sword]]'', when the rest of the gang say their unique phrases.
** More recently, Fred would occasionally say "Hold the phone!" when he finds an important discovery.

* In the ''Spaced'' episode "Beginnings," Daisy wanders into Tim's bedroom after hearing a noise and is spooked by his alien mask. Tim finds her and she keeps on saying she heard a noise, so Tim says she was playing ''Scooby-Doo''. She says she used to play as Daphne when she was little, as did Tim play as Freddie when he was younger, but now Tim and Daisy look more like Shaggy and Velma.
* In the ''Timon and Pumbaa'' episode "Werehog of London," a fortune teller warns Timon and Pumbaa that no one is safe from the curse of the werehog, not even "those meddling teens and their pesky dog."

* In the film ''Freddy vs. Jason'', Gibb, Kia, and Lori play a verbal game of "Marry, Fuck, Kill," with the former proposing Fred, Scooby, and Shaggy. Kia and Lori rightly refuse to answer her question.

* In the ''Ben 10: Omniverse'' episode "Mystery, Incorporeal," Kevin says, "Looks like we've got a mystery on our hands," which is a near-verbatim of Fred's reaction to starting a new mystery.
* The series is parodied in the ''Austin & Ally'' episode "Mysteries & Meddling Kids," when while at a disco party, Dez and his friends dress up as his favorite characters from a 70s cartoon called ''Groovy Goat and the Mystery Bunch'', with Austin filling in the Fred role as Chaz.
* In the ''Regular Show'' episode "The Dream Warrior," Rigby and Mordecai introduce Pops to a cartoon called ''[[Funkie Wunky and the Groovy Gang]]'' which features a Fred type called Chad. After the cartoon, Pops has a dream of what he had just watched with himself in the role of Chad.
* In "Wanderers v Pedagogues," an episode of the [[BBC Two]] quiz show ''Only Connect'', host Victoria Coren Mitchell begins by saying, "Good evening. Much of the key work debunking supernatural myths was carried out in the [[1970s]] by American paranormalogists Norville Rogers, Frederick Jones, Daphne Blake, and Velma Dinkley. And if you didn't get that reference, then shame on you, ''Only Connect'' fans. You probably preferred the ones with Scooby-Dum and Scrappy-Doo."
* In AOK's parody called "[[Scooby-Doo, Who Are You?]]," Fred discovers that not everybody wears a mask, when he accidentally tears off a bad guy's face, a cop's face, and then Shaggy's face. Velma grows rapidly suspicious of Fred's actions, and believes he is wearing a mask, only to tear off his actual face.

Mystery Incorporated''. She is also joined by Gaby and Antonia, who are parodies of Daphne and Velma, respectively.

Fred "Freddy/Freddie" Jones is the leader of Mystery Incorporated and a character in the Scooby-Doo animated franchise. His voice was originated by Frank Welker.

Throughout the years, Hanna-Barbera, Cartoon Network, and Warner Bros. Animation, as well as book and video game publishers, have conceived several incarnations, which don't always fit together because new writers have come on board and disregarded what has come before or there has been a complete reboot, but the general concept has been the same, perhaps except for DC Comics' radically altered Scooby Apocalypse.

Character description

Fred is a teenager with blonde hair and a broad physique. His uniform consists of a white sweater over a blue shirt, blue pants, and brown shoes. His most famous attribute is his orange ascot. Alternatively in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, he instead wears black sneakers and has a white sweater with orange stripes on his sleeves. In What's New, Scooby-Doo?, he traded his ascot for a white sweater with blue stripes.

Throughout the years, Fred's role as the leader of Mystery Inc. has largely been the same. He usually takes the lead in solving mysteries and mostly accompanies Daphne with him; sometimes with Velma also, and other times without her. He is seen constructing various Rube Goldberg-type traps for villains, which Scooby-Doo and/or Shaggy often set off by mistake and allow the villain to be captured the other way. Although a nice guy, Fred can get pretty bossy at times, forcing Shaggy and Scooby to take part in getting the villain despite their fears and/or better judgment. Fred was originally level-headed and confident in his earlier appearances, though this has been shaken up in other incarnations of his character.

As a child in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, Fred is the polar opposite of his older self, being less intelligent, more hyperactive and superstitious. He frequently gets picked on by bully Red Herring, and is always the one to accuse him on many accounts of a mystery. He is a subscriber to the National Exaggerator magazine, believing in "real" monsters and making up some wild conspiracies.

Fred's interests include traps, solving mysteries, martial arts,[2] wrestling,[3] and weightlifting;[4] a recurring joke in What's New, Scooby-Doo? is that he would boast about bench pressing 220.

Fred Sells Out

Fred is in the first State Farm commercial.

In the Teen Titans Go! episode "Cartoon Feud," Fred and her friends are forced by Control Freak to compete against the Teen Titans in Family Feud.

In the Warner Bros. Serververse in Space Jam: A New Legacy, the gang (based on their Scoob! designs), arrive at the basketball game between the Tune Squad and the Goon Squad in the Mystery Machine, then watch from outside the van.

Fred in the Cyber Realm

Fred is a playable character in Scooby-Doo! Mystery of the Fun Park Phantom, Scooby-Doo! First Frights, and Scooby-Doo! and the Spooky Swamp.

Development

Fred's template was the title character of the radio show Jack Armstrong, All-American Boy,[5] with a bit of Dobie Gillis from the 1960s sitcom The Many Lives of Dobie Gillis.[6][7]

Fred went through three different names before Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! aired. He began as Geoff, then Harvey, then Ronnie in storyboards, until Fred Silverman, then head of CBS' children's programming, recommended his own name.

When developing Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, co-creator Jon Colton Barry patterned Fred on Gene Wilder's character Frederick Frankenstein from the 1974 film Young Frankenstein.

Behind the scenes

  • Despite popular belief that Fred has no catchphrase, it is suggested in most appearances that his catchphrases are something similar to "Another mystery solved", "Let's split up" and "Looks like we have a(nother) mystery on our hands". Despite this, he does not have a catchphrase when suprised like with the other Mystery Inc. members (e.g. "Zoinks!", "Jinkies!", and "Jeepers!").
    • Fred shamefully admits not having it at one point in Scooby-Doo! and the Samurai Sword, when the rest of the gang say their unique phrases.
    • More recently, Fred would occasionally say "Hold the phone!" when he finds an important discovery.

In popular culture

  • In the Red Razors arc of the comic 2000AD, a group of Sov-Block mercenary enforcers called themselves the Spooky Doo Gang, due to owning a dog called Spooky who resembled a green Scooby-Doo. Fred's doppelganger is also called Freddy.
  • In Disney's Doug episode "Doug's Bloody Buddy," the teaser depicts a fantasy in which Doug and his friends are like Mystery Inc. searching for the Bluffington Vampire; Chalky is the counterpart to Fred.
  • In the Animaniacs segment "Back in Style," the Warner siblings are loaned to a Hanna-Barbera-type studio that lets the Warner siblings "play themselves" in its cartoon Uhuru, Where Are You? In this parody, Ted acts as a stand-in for Fred, and is also voiced by Frank Welker.
  • In the Arthur segment "The Rat Who Came to Dinner," Fred is anthropomorphized as an animal with the rest of the gang in Mr. Ratburn's favourite old show Spooky-Poo.
  • In the Spaced episode "Beginnings," Daisy wanders into Tim's bedroom after hearing a noise and is spooked by his alien mask. Tim finds her and she keeps on saying she heard a noise, so Tim says she was playing Scooby-Doo. She says she used to play as Daphne when she was little, as did Tim play as Freddie when he was younger, but now Tim and Daisy look more like Shaggy and Velma.
  • In the Timon and Pumbaa episode "Werehog of London," a fortune teller warns Timon and Pumbaa that no one is safe from the curse of the werehog, not even "those meddling teens and their pesky dog." Then the camera reveals an orange and blue van resembling the Mystery Machine that has been abandoned after it was knocked into a lampost.
  • On the first page of Archie's Weird Mysteries #6, Archie is dressed up like Fred as he becomes a parody of Fred for the comic's story (sans outfit). He makes out with Veronica who has taken on the role of Daphne.
  • In the film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, the title characters hitchhike in a green van owned by a bunch of odd adults vaguely resembling Mystery Incorporated. The Fred doppelganger, referred to in the credits as "The Guy," is made fun of by Shaggy by wearing a neckerchief. He then gets high from a "doobie snack." But this is all just a dream of Jay's.
  • In the film Freddy vs. Jason, Gibb, Kia, and Lori play a verbal game of "Marry, Fuck, Kill," with the former proposing Fred, Scooby, and Shaggy. Kia and Lori rightly refuse to answer her question.
  • In the Veronica Mars episode "You Think You Know Somebody," Wallace calls Veronica Velma when she talks about how easy it was to find out about someone's details online, but Veronica prefers to think of herself as Daphne. Veronica then asks Wallace if he is supposed to be Fred, but he dismisses this as his "white boy" of choice, as he prefers Shaggy because of his "flavor," which Veronica finds ironic after she finds he is still subscribed to Mad magazine.
  • In the Johnny Test episode "Johnny Dukey Doo," Gil joins Johnny and the gang in investigating a haunted mansion, with his ghost gear, which consists of a white shirt and orange neckerchief.
  • In the Torchwood book Trace Memory, Owen thought of himself as Fred, but Toshi thought he was more like Shaggy.
  • In the New Teen Titans short "Turn Back the Clock," Mad Mod turns back time altering the appearances of the Teen Titans with each passing decade, with the 70s making them look like Mystery Inc.; Robin is Fred.
  • Chad is a parody of Fred in the independent horror film Saturday Morning Massacre (later retitled Saturday Morning Mystery). Gwen is in a relationship with Gwen, which is a reference to the perceived hidden romance between Fred and Daphne from the original series.
  • In the Ben 10: Omniverse episode "Mystery, Incorporeal," Kevin says, "Looks like we've got a mystery on our hands," which is a near-verbatim of Fred's reaction to starting a new mystery.
  • The series is parodied in the Austin & Ally episode "Mysteries & Meddling Kids," when while at a disco party, Dez and his friends dress up as his favorite characters from a 70s cartoon called Groovy Goat and the Mystery Bunch, with Austin filling in the Fred role as Chaz.
  • In the Regular Show episode "The Dream Warrior," Rigby and Mordecai introduce Pops to a cartoon called Funkie Wunky and the Groovy Gang which features a Fred type called Chad. After the cartoon, Pops has a dream of what he had just watched with himself in the role of Chad.
  • In "Wanderers v Pedagogues," an episode of the BBC Two quiz show Only Connect, host Victoria Coren Mitchell begins by saying, "Good evening. Much of the key work debunking supernatural myths was carried out in the 1970s by American paranormalogists Norville Rogers, Frederick Jones, Daphne Blake, and Velma Dinkley. And if you didn't get that reference, then shame on you, Only Connect fans. You probably preferred the ones with Scooby-Dum and Scrappy-Doo."
  • In AOK's parody called "Scooby-Doo, Who Are You?," Fred discovers that not everybody wears a mask, when he accidentally tears off a bad guy's face, a cop's face, and then Shaggy's face. Velma grows rapidly suspicious of Fred's actions, and believes he is wearing a mask, only to tear off his actual face. Daphne is devastated over what Velma did to Fred's "beautiful face," and tears off her face in retaliation.
  • In the Teen Titans Go! episode "Costume Contest," Robin does a drawing of Teen Titans as Mystery Inc., with himself as Fred.
  • In "The Spooky Badge," an episode of the preschool series Hey Duggee, the Squirrels play dress up as Mystery Inc., with Tag as Fred.
  • In Simpsons Comics #242, there is a story entitled "Scooby-Don't," with the kids dressed up as Mystery Inc., including Bart Simpson wearing similar clothing to Fred. Jessica Lovejoy is Daphne's doppelganger, referencing Bart and Jessica's romance in the cartoon.
  • In the Superstore episode "Trick-or-Treat," Mateo is dressed as Fred.
  • In the Talking Tom and Friends episode "The Mystery of the Pyramid," Tom says "Let's split up, gang," in order to find and spy on Victoria Payne.
  • In the Young Justice episode "First Impression," Fred is parodied as Tommi Tompkins, who also has short blond hair and wears white and blue, and shares a troubled relationship with her father who is her namesake, the Mayor Thomas Tompkins, alluding to Fred's relationship with Mayor Jones in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. She is also joined by Gaby and Antonia, who are parodies of Daphne and Velma, respectively.

  • In the book The Crooked World, there was a parody of Shaggy called Mike Leader.

Frank Welker reprises his role as Fred.
