He is classified as a hotdog-type incidental.
Names[]
For the first ten seasons, he was a basic unnamed incidental character known as Incidental 1. In the season 2 episode "Patty Hype," he was given the name Fred as a onetime name. Because of this, many fans often referred to Incidental 1 as Fred online. This made the crew decide to readopt the name Fred as Incidental 1's confirmed name, claiming that the fans gave him the name Fred.
- In "As Seen on TV," SpongeBob foolishly believes his name is "My tail fin" after Fred sarcastically tells him to sign an autograph to his tail fin.
- In SpongeBob SquarePants Trading Card Game, a hard hat wearing Incidental 1 is named Hank Halibut.
