The episode starts of with a commercial for a new product "Big Move Laxatives" where Grim is the spokesman. On the day of the commercial, "Under-corp" holds a contest. Contestants would write a letter that contains up to 500 words telling what they would do with Grim for a day and the winner would get to do those things. However, Grim becomes devastated when he learns that the winner is Fred Fredburger. Billy, Mandy and Grim take Fred Fredburger to the yogurt parlor (after the company threatens to beat Grim up if Fred Fredburger doesn't have a good time) and while they were eating, Grim tries to take a picture of him and Fred Fredburger. Unfortunately, Fred doesn't listen which makes Grim very frustrated and angry, resulting in him knocking over Fred's yogurt and send Fred crying into the deep freezer. Mandy suggests that they should go Sassycat Land, but Fred ends up being hurdled to another place. The company beats Grim up and Fred meets a yeti who strangley sound and like the same things that Fred does.

[edit] Cultural References
- The title Spidermandy is a pun on the superhero, Spider-Man.
- The title Be A-Fred, Be Very A-Fred is a pun on the phrase "be afraid, be very afraid", from the 1986 movie The Fly (1986 film).
- There is a Spongebob-like monster in "Be A-Fred, Be Very A-Fred", representing C.H. Greenblatt's work on the series. The monster is wearing high heel shoes, promoting the "Spongebob is gay" rumor. Also the creature that threatens Grim at Under Corp resembles Boss Nass from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
- Running gag in Be A-Fred, Be Very A-Fred: Fred and Billy eating a frozen yogurt, screaming from a brain freeze, and then continuing eating it. This scene is very similar to the scene from an episode of Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, another Cartoon Network show, which aired in the same month as this episode.
- Also, the way Fred shows his beady eyes and veins, resembles to the anime comedy shows.
- Everybody Loves Rain-man is a spoof of Everybody Loves Raymond. This show also makes a reference to the film, Rain Man.
- Having Grim being spokes-person for a laxative is a subtle reference to how people may void their bowels when they die.
