Fred's Head



Fred's Head (French title Blaise le Blasé or translated Blaise the Jaded) is a Franco-Canadian Flash animated teen show. It's about Deadpan Snarker Fred LeBlanc and his not-so-normal life with his two best friends, Fabienne Ledger and Gregory Gilbert "GG" Pyrowsky. The show takes place in Montreal and revolves around Fred trying to get the girl of his dreams, Anette, while dealing with everyday problems. The show is noteworthy for being about teens and dealing with problems like alcohol and cheating without venturing into Very Special Episode territory, and actually talking about them outright.

The series lasted from January to July 2008, a total of 26 episodes in a single season.
