My edit was deleted[edit]

I'm sorry, but everything in my edit was TRUE. Look it up. He's the final boss of AVGN Adventures!!!"

The name[edit]

Why hasn't someone mentioned how you pronounce his name? Are you really supposed to pronounce it "Fred Fucks"? If so, I feel so sorry for him and his family. How the hell did he get through grade school alive? ForestAngel (talk) 09:10, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You'd have to find a mention of this in the mainstream media (and not just the Angry Video Game Nerd). E.g. "His name is often the butt of jokes; in the webcast / television show / magazine issue dated X, notable humorist Y based an entire comedy sketch around him, noting the similarity between him surname and the word "fucks"", with references etc. And it's probably pronounced "fooks", like the chap from John Carpenter's The Thing. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 22:52, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, in The Thing (1982), they pronounce it "fyeuks". --Dan Harkless (talk) 17:27, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

it's obviously pronounced "fooks" like —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.125.50 (talk) 01:54, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The AVGN mention is pretty trivial. I don't think it's worth mentioning on its own. Something better would be to add what Ashley Pomeroy quoted above. -- œ ^™ 09:59, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's pronounced 'Fooks' not 'F**ks'. 86.21.150.28 (talk) 17:28, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I Love saying FRED FUCKS!!!! WTFUCKS!!!

Is this the same Fred as the one in the Dracula video? 62.199.192.167 (talk) 11:56, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wait... Who's this?.. Fred Fucks? FRED FUCKS?! FRED FUCKS!! Oh my god, Fred Fucks! Oh god, it's Fred Fucks! Ahaha, Fred Fucks...

I guess you could also pronounce him "Fox", since "Fuchs" means "Fox". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.200.109.37 (talk) 14:52, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Many have suggested "fooks" but I know of people with this name that pronounce it "fyooks". But without any sort of cite or reference on how this particular person pronounces the name, it's a moot point.98.243.94.83 (talk) 21:12, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've heard the pronunciation "FEU-khs" before, but that would just kill the joke. Let's just assume it's fucks and move on. LaPorting4Duty 03:45, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

AVGN[edit]

Is he the same Fred Fuchs than in AVGN videos? -130.234.204.168 (talk) 22:11, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to direct your attention to this YouTube video. LaPorting4Duty 03:49, 22 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaPorting4Duty (talk • contribs)

Yes, he is.

Maybe the fact he produced video games could be acknowledged without having to mention that fact? Colliric (talk) 08:28, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to put an "in popular culture" section, but it got removed.

Unexplained spelling change[edit]

The spelling of his first name was anonymously changed without explanation in June 2023. The spelling was only changed in the opening sentence – not in the infobox. No cited sources seem to contain the long form of his first name, so I don't know which spelling is correct. That IP address has not made any other edits. I am guessing this was just vandalism since there was no explanation, so I will revert it. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:15, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
