Coconut Fred is the titular and main character of the infamous short-lived Kids' WB TV series Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island. He's a cheerful and hyperactive coconut who can think just about anything into existence. He is not only considered to be the worst character in the show but also a shameless horrid copy of SpongeBob SquarePants from the series of the same name. He was voiced by Rob Paulsen.

Why He's "Dangerously Friendly" (And Not In A Good Way)

 * 1) He is monopathic (meaning that he can only feel one emotion, which is happiness).
 * 2) His catchphrase "Yay meǃ" is flat-out annoying and cringe-worthy, and is later shared by Rebecca from Thomas & Friends.
 * 3) He does not care enough about any resident on his Fruit Salad Island (because he is the one who created it). In fact, he is a big nuisance to pretty much everyone on the island. This is also because of his nonexistent character development.
 * 4) His design looks creepy and somewhat lazy.
 * 5) His voice is just plain horrible and ear-grating to listen to, as he sounds more annoying than Bubsy (both voiced by Rob Paulsen).
 * 6) He is basically a very bad rip-off of SpongeBob SquarePants, except more hyperactive, destructive, and with absolutely none of his likability or charm; even his name is extremely unoriginal as it sounds similar to SpongeBob's first name. This is also a reason why this show is called a "SpongeBob rip-off" by most people.
 * 7) * He is also probably a rip-off of Lazlo from Camp Lazlo, since both are overly optimistic and naive protagonists.
 * 8) He is a Gary Stu who's always happy no matter what. Even many characters who are similar to him are polypathic (can feel multiple emotions).
 * 9) He is also narcissistic, as he believes that he is the best person on the island when, in reality, almost everyone finds him obnoxious.
 * 10) * Occasionally, his friends, particularly Bingo, can get irritated by his antics at times.
 * 11) He is incredibly sadistic, as he practically takes pleasure in torturing everyone that lives on the island but never gets punished for his actions, making him a Karma Houdini (and an Idiot Houdini because of his stupidity).
 * 12) Unlike SpongeBob, who has his rare moments of maturity admittedly, Fred is extremely immature all the time, so much even to the point that he shockingly even makes the worst version of SpongeBob in seasons 6b and 7 look like a mature adult in comparison. He constantly acts like a hyperactive toddler when he should be acting like the adult that he is.
 * 13) * Considering the fact that he created the Fruit Salad Island in the first place, this makes him a horribly neglectful manchild.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He is quite imaginative and comes up with crazy yet enjoyable misadventures.
 * 2) Despite his boisterous antics, Fred is pretty much an easygoing person and is friendly to everyone around him.
 * 3) Sometimes he does good deeds like protecting Bingo.
 * 4) He is capable of having some weaknesses like being sick.

Trivia

 * Rob Paulsen hated being his voice actor. He even admitted him being the worst character behind the infamous Bubsy from the the video game series of the same name who he also voiced from Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind to Bubsy 3D. He does even better jobs voicing better characters for many such as PJ from A Goofy Movie, Yakko and Pinky from the Animaniacs franchise, Carl Wheezer and Principal Willoughby from the Jimmy Neutron franchise, Peck the Rooster from the Barnyard franchise, etc.
 * Coconut Fred appears as a freeplay opponent in the Friday Night Funkin'  mod, Mistful Crimson Morning, which is a SpongeBob SquarePants themed Friday Night Funkin'  mod. He's likely in the mod due to him being considered a rip-off of SpongeBob, and his song is called "Plagiarize" to boot.
