Fans of Scooby-Doo may have always known that Velma was a lesbian, but they are only now realizing that Fred, Velma’s partner in crime, is also a bit of a weirdo.
So Fred’s kinda weird
People are starting to notice some of Fred’s dubious behaviour after watching the animation again as grownups and have some doubts about it.
A fan caught the head of Mystery Inc. acting strangely in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment while watching The Scooby-Doo Show.
It was taken from “The Harum-Scarum Sanitarium,” a scene in which Fred and the group discover themselves investigating a mental hospital that is haunted by the spirit of Dr. Coffin.
They decide to investigate after observing ambulances arriving and departing without any patients, and it appears that Fred is interested in what they uncover.
Daphne and Velma are shocked when the gang finds a morgue inside the asylum full of dead bodies. However, Fred, ever the sleuth, decides to step inside and take a closer look.
When Fred removes the cover off one of the corpses, I might not have noticed Fred’s cheeky grin as a child, but now it’s all I can see.
When he saw it and published the clip to TikTok with the title “Fred down bad,” a Scooby fan also felt the same way.
People couldn’t believe they had missed Fred’s insane behaviour when they were younger as the video instantly went viral.
The way my jaw dropped, a TikToker wrote.
Another person remarked, “Wow! the smile as he lifted it up.
“I was too young when I watched that,” a third person wrote.
Some Scooby-Doo super fans were able to decipher this compromising film and explain what was actually happening in Fred’s defence.
The ‘patients’ laying in the morgue were actually merely mounds of gold bars with wigs coming out from under the sheet to make them appear like individuals, thus it turns out that Fred peeking under the covers actually helps the Mystery Gang solve the case. In reality, the ambulances that entered and exited the facility were only bringing in and taking out gold. You must admit, it’s a rather complex plan!
So Fred wasn’t a creep in this case, ok, but did he truly know what he was going to find under those sheets, or was that just a lie?
I’m watching you, Fred.
