Posted on August 24, 2009 by Amit Chowdhry


It was inevitable that Fred would eventually be replaced on YouTube as the most subscribed YouTube channel. Fred is the kid played by Lucas Cruikshank that edits his voice to be high-pitched and sped up. Fred is also one of the most searched kids on the web.

Fred was replaced by Nigahiga over the weekend. Nigahiga has about 1.392 million subscribers and Fred has about 1.36 million. Above is a video that Nigahiga made to celebrate their victory.
