Information AboutFred Jones (fictional Character) |
For other uses, see Fred Jones (disambiguation) Fred Herman Jones, known to his friends by the nickname Freddie, is a Fictional Character in the long running American Television Animated Series '' Scooby-Doo '', about a quartet of teenage mystery solvers and their Great Dane cohort, Scooby-Doo . The leader of the group, and the driver of the gang's van, the Mystery Machine, Fred is a blonde, Ascot -wearing, statuesque and brave youth; everything that the group's other male human member, Shaggy , isn't. In later spinoffs, Fred is also shown as having a great interest in various types of Sports . During the series' run, Fred would often be shown constructing various Rube Goldberg traps for villians, which Scooby-Doo and/or Shaggy would often set off by mistake, only for the villain to wind up captured by the trap anyway. During the first season of ''Scooby Doo, Where Are You?'', Fred would sometimes refer to his cohort Daphne Blake as "Danger-Prone Daphne" due to her penchant for getting into trouble. Fred leads the group in solving mysteries and often orders the gang to split up to search for clues. Fred usually takes the female members of the gang, Daphne and Velma , with him while Shaggy and Scooby go off by themselves; Fred's main catchphrase is related to this divide-and-conquer clue search method: "let's split up, gang..." Some fans have posited that Fred and Daphne share an attraction to each other, but this has yet to be truly declared as such in the series itself (though Cartoon Network , in its various promotional bumpers, has had fun with this notion). In the 1990s direct-to-video movies and in the 2000s series '' What's New, Scooby Doo? '', Fred's outfit was given an update, with the removal of his ascot the most noticeable change. The removal of the ascot was poked fun at during one of the first promotional advertisements for ''What's New, Scooby Doo?'', when the ascot is found on the ground, puzzling everyone but Fred, who seems to be uncomfortable around the discovery.
