"My leg!" - Fred's signature catchphrase
Fred,[1] also known as Incidental 1,[2] Incidental 1ISH,[3] Incidental F1,[4] Dude #1,[5] the sound guy, and the Bikini Bottomite, is an incidental character who first appears in the episode "Reef Blower" while his production order debut was in "Squeaky Boots." He is classified as a "hotdog" type incidental.
Names[]
For the first ten seasons, he was a basic unnamed incidental character known as Incidental 1. In the season 2 episode "Patty Hype," he was given the name Fred as a one time name. Because of this, many fans often referred to Incidental 1 as Fred online. This made the crew decide to readopt the name Fred as Incidental 1's confirmed name, claiming that the fans gave him the name Fred. He has had other names, however, such as:
- In SpongeBob SquarePants Trading Card Game, he is named Hank Halibut and also Troutenheimer.
- In "Big Sister Sam," a pale green Incidental 1 in western wear is named Clint.
- In The SpongeBob SquarePants Experience: A Deep Dive into the World of Bikini Bottom, he was falsely named Fred Rechid, which was a fan-made name for him. The name Rechid was only used for Incidental 49, in "The Two Faces of Squidward."
