Freddie Wong, often known as "freddiew", is an American filmmaker, musician, and web director best known for his action shorts. His combination of fast paced action, comedy, and great special effects have made him the sixth most subscribed channel on [[YouTube]]. Freddie first began gaining popularity as a ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' player, and after college with the help of his friend Brandon Laatsch moved on to making weekly webshorts. Expect action, lots of bullets, nods to video games, and some truly bizarre and imaginative concepts augmented by excellent FX.

 

He is also running his own full fledged web series called ''[[Video Game High School]]'', which will air on his channel beginning on May 17, 2012.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: Along with the short's homage to ''[[Cowboys and Aliens]]'', another allusion is [[Jon Favreau]] riding a [[Cool Car|flying truck]] that [[Iron Man (film)|folds into a suitcase]].

* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: ''Duct Hunt''.

* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Averted pretty well, actually. Unless it's for laughs, like in ''[[Minecraft]] Massacre''.

* [[Camera Abuse]]: [[Played for Laughs]] in ''Epic VFX Time''.

'''Freddie''': "This isn't ''[[The Bourne Series|Bourne Identity]]''!<ref>[[Paul Greengrass]] and his distinctive camera shake didn't appear in The Bourne Identity since he didn't direct until Supremacy</ref> You ain't [[Matt Damon]]!" }}

* [[Cloning Blues]]: {{spoiler|Implied to have happened in ''Halloween Massacre''.}}

* [[Mooks]]

* [[More Dakka]]: ''Epic VFX Time''

* [[Mundane Made Awesome]]: ''The Golf War''

* [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup]]: The backstory of ''Beach Justice'', which is meant to be a 88 minute [[Made for TV]] movie.

* [[Ocular Gushers]]: Used hilariously in the end of ''Gun Size Matters''.

* [[One-Man Army]]: Freddie usually fulfills this on a daily basis, but ''Executive Command'' invokes this, {{spoiler|but here Freddie is an [[Idiot Hero]] who gleefully commits war crimes.}}

'''General Johnson''': Sir, he is the team. }}

* [[One Bullet Left]]: ''Beach Justice''.

* [[Only a Flesh Wound]]: ''Inverted'' in ''Duct Hunt''. A mook gets shot twice in the foot and drops dead.

* [[Parody]]: Freddie's ''Power Hour'' to [[Kanye West]]'s famous "Power" video. In his words, "Kanye West's vision through the lens of party dudes."

** He does the same thing in ''Skyrim Badass'', stabbing any person who dares to ask him for help.

* [[Pink Mist]]: Commonly seen in the death of [[Mooks]]. [[Word of God|Freddie has written on his blog]] that the mist is made from taping red chalk being clapped into the air.

* [[Pluto Is Expendable]]: In ''Epic VFX Time''.

** ''Especially'' because of all the gunfire, blood, and explosions.

* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: General Johnson is fond of these. "Sir, with all due respect, shut your mouth." "That's because you're a noob, sir."

* [[Time Stop]]: Done in both ''Chrono Trigger: Short Action Scene'' and ''Time Freeze Shootout''.

* [[Trigger Happy]]: '''YES'''.

* [[Troll|Trolls]]: Freddie and Ray William Johnson go after a bunch of these with a hammer and a shotgun in ''Troll Massacre.''

* [[Up to Eleven]]: ''Epic VFX Time''

'''Harley''': No, get to the '''choppers!!''' }}

* [[Unnecessary Combat Roll]]: Freddie does one for laughs in ''Bodycount''.

** This is also Milkman's superpower.

'''Duct Hunt, Game Over Screen''': ''Freddie, what's '''Wong?''' Freddie? Freddie!'' }}
