Editor's Choice: When the Mom's Away…

The setup: Fred’s mom is missing and he needs help finding her. She might be at the bar or cruising for dudes on street corners, he said. Well, he said that after he grew bored with jumping on her bed and showering with his clothes on and snipping her pantyhose with scissors. So now he’s posting signs all over town to find her. (Don’t ask, just don’t ask.).

The source: The video comes from Fred, who’s become a huge YouTube star in the last few months. His videos often are the most watched each week. He’s big with the kids because of his helium-inflated voice, but we’re betting he’s getting some crossover viewers, too.

The hits: This installment had reached 2.1 million views by July 10, one week after landing on YouTube.
