Fred the Monkey - TV Tropes

Speaking of frivolous lawsuits, some people have been claiming that we use subliminal messages here at Fred The Monkey.com. *swirly screen saying, "You Love Fred The Monkey.com appears* But that's nonsense. Everyone LOVES Fred The Monkey.com, so we don't need such clever marketing ploys!

Fred the Monkey
is a Web Animation based loosely off of Homestar Runner by JKR. It centers around the title character, Fred the Monkey, who got Flanderized from The Fool to a Jerkass to someone who's just plain lazy, and Sceb, a semi-evil Space Chicken who once in a blue moon checks his mail.
Other characters include:
- Cloe, an anime-obsessed Genius Ditz, who seems unaware that she brings Sceb down to a nervous wreck.
- Space Chicken (Sceb's brother), resident OCD workaholic who runs the site as a whole. Played as the Straight Man against all the idiocy around him.
- Mr. Deutsch, a partially insane teacher who puts food on the table and loves mathematics with a passion.
- The Fish brothers, Cadberry and Nigel, the former being an annoying know-it-all and the latter actually having good ideas.
- BDBB, the very lazy music director who likes to quote Monty Python.
- Mitch, who shows up once in a while to make a point or to be probed by aliens.
- Clydex. He's a platypus.
A particular part of the website involves Sceb answering questions without, you know, actually answering them.
Some of the cartoons include Easter Eggs, accessible by clicking on something at the end.
