''[[AlliterativeTitle Fearless Fred Fury]]'' is a 2019 album by the HipHop act Music/InsaneClownPosse that serves as the Fourth Joker's Card in the second deck of their ConceptAlbum cycle.

The album's theme concerns self-respect. Red Fred, the face of this Card, gets so angry over people not having any pride and respect for themselves, that he'll run up and punch people who don't have any pride or self-respect, aided by his PetRat, Flip.

The album was released prepackaged with a [[BonusMaterial supplementary recording]] titled ''Flip the Rat'' which is not exactly an [=EP=] and not exactly a full-length album, so ICP categorized ''Flip the Rat'' as a "Medium Play".

!! Red Tropes:

* ArcNumber: "Hot Head" features Shaggy chanting the number 17[[note]]the number of copies ''Music/CarnivalOfCarnage'' sold on it's firat day of release.[[/note]]
* BasementDweller: "Game Over" is about a Gamer who wastes his life playing [[VideoGame Video Games]], never leaving his room, never leaving his home, never getting laid, and lacking the self-respect to even ''clean his room'' because of his lack of confidence.
* BonusMaterial: The [=CD=] is packaged with a bonus release titled ''[[PetRat Flip the Rat]]'', which is longer than an extended play at 50 minutes, but shorter than a standard Insane Clown Posse album, so ICP consider it a "Medium Play" (or [=MP=]) instead of an [=LP=].
* CallBack: "Seriously Hilarious" [[{{Sampling}} samples]] the line "ICP, we're all alone, ever since Inner City's ''Ghetto Zone''" from "[[Music/TheAmazingJeckelBrothers Everybody Rize]]", referring to an amateur recording self-released by ICP back when they were [[GangstaRap Inner City Posse]], before they started Creator/PsychopathicRecords.
* CoverDrop: You might not notice this immediately, but the cover of the [[BonusMaterial Bonus Disc]] ''[[PetRat Flip the Rat]]'' is the same illustration of Flip that is on the front cover of ''Fearless Fred Fury''.
* DarkerAndEdgier: "I Like It Rough" is preceded by a warning that it is one of the darkest songs ICP has ever recorded, and that it's treatment of rough sex may be disturbing to some listeners. Considering [[NightmareFuel/InsaneClownPosse some of the lyrics in their catalog]], the fact that they felt this one was disturbing enough to require a separately indexed warning to listen at your own risk preceding the song says a lot.
* HarsherInHindsight: Several tracks feature J referencing the ArcNumber 665, referencing the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen original plan]] to follow up original deck of six Joker's Cards with 6 more Cards, and then to follow the second deck or Joker's Cards with a third deck consisting of only 5 cards. However, due to Violent J's heart problems and retirement from touring, ICP probably won't release any more albums after the Sixth Joker's Card of the second deck drops.
** Also, ''Flip the Rat'' SpecialGuest Stars Big Hoodoo and [[Music/ThreeSixMafia DJ Paul]] are both no longer signed with Psychopathic.
* HeAlsoDid: Violent J himself produced several tracks on ''Flip the Rat'', under the name Dr. Punch.
* NewSoundAlbum: This album has a more Trap-influenced sound and is a departure from the PopRap sound of ''[[Music/TheMarvelousMissingLink The Marvelous Missing Link (Found)]]''.
* ParanormalRomance: J has one with "Shimmer". However, this one turns out much better than the one on "In My Room".
* SadClown: "Nobody's Fault" starts off with J as a Sad Sack, until Red Fred comes out of nowhere and punches him, which helps encourage him to become more self-confident.
* {{Sampling}}: {{Reggae}} is a recurring source for sampling this time around, with "Red Fred" sampling "Murderer" by Barrington Levy, and "West Vernor Avenue" interpolating Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue",[[note]]zoomers know this song best as being "that ''Film/PineappleExpress'' song"[[/note]] but PsychedelicRock[=/=]ProgressiveRock also gets a nod as well, with the Proto-Prog[=/=]Psychedelic band Music/TheZombies' song "[[Music/OdesseyAndOracle Time of the Season]]" being sampled on "Low".
