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.

Tropes used in Fred's Head include:

• A-Cup Angst: All the teenage girls, except Beatrice.

Jody: "And a little more up here ..."

• An Aesop: Occasionally.
• All There in the Manual: The official website has some info thats not presented in the show, such as character last name.
• Ambiguously Gay: Fabienne
• Ambiguous Gender: Panook, which is the subject of interest of almost every student at Saint-Judes. Getting a girlfriend hasn't helped.
• And Knowing Is Half the Battle: Parodied.
• Big Ol' Eyebrows
• Bishie Sparkle: Whenever anyone sees a person or object he likes, complete with its own Leitmotif.
• Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: The Hart trio
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: The only reason episode 25 exists.

• Can't Hold His Liquor: One sip and Fred is plastered.
• Catch Phrase: "Moldy" and "I think not" for Fred, "Shooty!" and "Fizz!" for Penelope.
• Cat Smile
• Cats Are Mean: The Beast. He enjoys attacking people who aren't in the family and knocking things over, for starters.

• Chick Magnet: Fred
• Christmas Episode
• Cloudcuckoolander: Madame Butterfly
• Curtains Match the Window: The Hart Trio. Slightly off-putting since they have orange, yellow and burgundy hair, respectively.
• Dandere: Anette
• Deadpan Snarker
• Dumb Blonde: Penelope. Not even dying her hair brown helped.
• Everythings Nuttier With Squirrels: The entirety of episode 7.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: Tamara after Fred dumps her. It`s uncertain if she kept it since she wasn`t shown again after the makeover.
• Fired Teacher/George Jetson Job Security: Inverted, as the sub wanted to get fired. It never happens.
• Flash Back: Whenever Fanny appears, a few times with Fred, and the other reason why episode 25 exists.

• Getting Crap Past the Radar: Well, it is a Canadian show, after all.

• Girl Posse: The "Hart" trio
• Halloween Episode
• Hartman Hips
• Happily Adopted: Fred's little brother, Boon-Mee
• Ho Yay: GG hugs and finds himself on top of Fred a lot, not to mention how jealous he gets whenever anyone takes Fred's attention. To be fair, Fred has stated that he loved GG more than a couple of times.
• Imagine Spot: Fred has several of these an episode
• Last-Minute Hookup: Fred and Anette in the final episode.
• Latex Perfection: Fanny is hinted to have become this when she lost all her hair and started wearing wigs. Since there isn't a second season, we don't know for sure.
• Leitmotif: Whenever Anette shows up.
• Limited Wardrobe
• Love Triangle: Among Tamara, Fred and Anette.
• Master of the Mixed Message: Oh, Fred.
• Meaningful Name: In the French version, Soya's last name is Plante ("Green" in the English version), the principal's is Poisson ("fish"), and Jody's is Joliecœur ("Prettyheart").

• Invisible to Gaydar: Rudolf
• Those Two Guys: Yohan and Manny, who are Jerk Asses
• Three Amigos
• Toilet Humor: The staple of every Canadian Flash animated show.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: The school psychologist is a short blue-skinned woman with a huge head. and the science teacher is an armless man who has a small pink monkey that helps him. No one mentions or notices this.
• Where Da White Women At?: Inverted, it's Penelope who obsesses over her boyfriend. Benji just goes along with it to make her happy. This doesn`t stop Benji from eyeballing a cute blonde near the end of the series.
• Yandere: Fanny, so much.
