— Fries, Multiple Occasions During Challenges

Fries is a male contestant in Battle for Dream Island Again, IDFB, Battle for BFDI and The Power of Two.

Fries competed in Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two on Are You Okay and was eliminated along with Eggy in "The Great Goikian Bake-Off" with 4,750 votes. He placed 36th overall.

Appearance[]

Fries appears to be a cardboard container with six Belgian style fried twice-sliced potato sticks, commonly known as French fries.

Personality[]

Fries is a grumpy, serious, and antipathetic character, especially with his enemies. He is very rarely joyful or seen smiling. This is familiarized by his raspy and rough voice. He's also the demanding type that usually gives orders to his team or is on the field with them. He does not accept laziness or jokes and usually scolds others for doing so, and can be a little stubborn at times. However, on the other hand, this harshness could imply that Fries takes the competition more seriously than most other contestants on the show.

Fries has shown, on several occasions, that he admires people who show strong skills of leadership and assertiveness, while also looking down on those who lack it. In "Get Digging", he didn't care about Teardrop being forced off of his team because she wasn't much of a leader. In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", he analyzes Ice Cube when she joins Clock and Liy's truce and states he thought Ice Cube was "too meek, but might be good at negotiation after all". Later in the episode, Fries praises Yellow Face's skills of persuasion after watching him gain four team members and even joins his team because of this.

Despite his serious attitude, Fries is also shown to be a bit dimwitted, as he does things such as believing that ingredients would be underground in "Get Digging", misusing a gardening hoe in "Welcome Back", and mistaking a broken jawbreaker piece for a popper in "The Liar Ball You Don't Want". He's also occasionally deceitful, whether against the other teams or in general, as he implied to have stolen the car from someone else in Meaty instead of winning the lottery. Another occurrence is him telling Firey and Gelatin to sabotage FreeSmart's chances of winning while switching.

Throughout the first season, and one point in both "Well Rested" and "Taste the Sweetness", Fries was usually shown to be eating his fries. This could mean that Fries is, or used to be, a cannibal.

Official Character Guide biography[]

Of all the characters, Fries just might be the saltiest. He is a box of potato fries (six to be exact), after all. Fries believes that people that take the mantle of leadership are valuable. On rare occasions, Fries tries to be a leader himself, with varying degrees of interest and success.

Fries is bothered by the sounds TV makes, although he doesn't dislike TV. He is best friends with Puffball.

Did You Know?: Fries hates the smell when his fries turn rotten. That's why he's always replacing them!

Powers and abilities[]

  • Persuasion: Fries can make anyone dig for him should he give his target a shovel and it lands in the target's hand. This is first seen in the appropriately titled episode "Get Digging", where he manages to get five of his teammates to dig for ingredients. This is seen with finer detail in "Taste the Sweetness", where he gets members from a rival team (Bomby, and Needle) to also dig for ingredients.
  • Time Manipulation: In the previously mentioned “Taste the Sweetness”, time slows after Needle slaps Fries (for calling her needy). Needle's arm is slowly moving, while Fries is moving at normal speed.
  • Elasticity: In You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?, Fries appears to stretch his body without tearing to grab their teammates and stop them from being flung non-stop.

Appearances[]

Battle for Dream Island[]

Fries audiction

Fries eating fries

In "Bowling, Now with Explosions!", Fries, as French Fries, appears in a crowd of recommended characters who are watching the Cake at Stake. They are all sealed in a metal box by the Announcer, which randomly catches fire in the stinger ending.

In "The Reveal", Fries is one of the 30 handpicked recommended characters who could join the show. His audition shows him just eating fries.

In "Reveal Novum", Fries only receives 17 votes, placing 6th in voting. The speaker box comments that he is "the only cannibal". He is so busy eating his fries that he doesn't notice when he is flung to the Locker of Losers.

In "Return of the Hang Glider", Fries watches the final Cake at Stake with the other recommended characters.

Battle for Dream Island Again[]

Well...

Fries in Battle for Dream Island Again

In "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", when the votes for who will join BFDIA are shown, it is revealed that Fries is one of the contestants who received enough votes to join the competition with 303 votes. He says he can't stand Book's cover, to which Book slaps him and eats one of his fries. Fries retaliates by slapping the fry out of her mouth and tears out one of her pages and eats it, but spits it out after chewing for a while. Fries is initially on a team of newcomers, but he ends up switching. His team of nineteen easily beat the team of three at the tug-of-war challenge.

In "Get Digging", Fries and Gelatin criticize TV's Cake at Stake song. TV then does a second song, but Fries says it isn't any better. Fries doesn't mind when they lose Teardrop to W.O.A.H. Bunch since he doesn't think of her as a leader. The teams are assigned to cook yoylestew. Fries orders Bomby to start digging because he believes that the ingredients for yoylestew are probably underground. Golf Ball announces herself as the team manager of Team No-Name and assigns everyone a job. Fries questions why she did not assign herself a job and she retort that it was because she is the team manager. Fries angrily mutters to himself about Golf Ball's reaction when she's voted off if they lose. He then finds Tennis Ball and asks him the same question. Tennis Ball states that he is the co-manager. Fries then sends Dora to dig for ingredients, followed by Nickel, Rocky, and Yellow Face. Fries' team loses at the end of the episode due to the complicated taste. After the voting segment, Fries is seen standing in the middle of the five holes that were dug by the contestants he ordered. He tells them that they can stop.

Friesdisgusting

"Fries! Your fries are disgusting;" —Gelatin[BFDIA3]

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3", Fries asks to hear TV's new Cake at Stake song. He says that it's "twenty times better than your last attempt". Fries is in the bottom 2 against Dora, but survives. After Gelatin eats one of his fries, he complains, telling Fries that his fries are disgusting, and are over a year old (approximately). Fries angrily yells that they are over a year old. Later during the challenge, he gets poisoned by a bug and dies. Rocky eats one of his poisoned fries, and also dies. He later appears dead with the other poisoned contestants.

In "Zeeky Boogy Doog", Gelatin has cured Fries of his poisoning from the previous episode offscreen. Fries becomes furious that Teardrop is taking too long to spin the challenge wheel as she is poisoned. When Teardrop is cured of the poisoning, she eats Nickel as that was an effect of the anti-poison. Pencil asks who Fries ate and he sheepishly answers Spongy, much to her and Match's delight. After Teardrop wins an HPRC, Fries uses it to recover Gelatin. When Fries was in Golf Ball's factory, she recommends that he build one for himself. Fries replies that that would be a waste of time just like hers, which Golf Ball takes offense to and kicks Fries into the factory's incinerator.

In "Get in the Van", Fries is recovered by Leafy and Bubble. Fries is in the bottom 3 in Cake at Stake but survives with 235 dislikes. Fries promises to Golf Ball and the rest of Team No-Name that he will never switch teams. When the challenge starts, he and the rest of the team get on top of Puffball to fly to Yoyle Mountain, only for Gelatin to push Golf Ball, Tennis Ball and Rocky off. He gets annoyed at Gelatin, stating that they can only finish the challenge if they have all their team members, and orders Puffball to go and find them.

In "No More Snow!", Fries is sleeping on Puffball and is woken up by a cloud raining down basketballs. He then asks where the rest of the team was, and Puffball explains Gelatin pushed Golf Ball, Tennis Ball, and Rocky off her, which he remembers. She then tells him that he fell asleep and Firey and Gelatin tied their legs together and fell off. Fries isn't surprised that they did that and asks where they were now. Puffball says they were probably eaten by Evil Leafy, who they quickly see afterward. Fries thinks that their teammates are inside Evil Leafy, so he tells Puffball to chase her, who is also chasing Book and Ruby. Book and Ruby climb up a tree with a rope holding a giant weight and they cut the rope, dropping the weight, killing Evil Leafy, Fries, and Puffball.

In "It's a Monster", Fries gets recovered through the HPRC, along with his team. Before getting back on Puffball he asks what they should do about the frozen W.O.A.H. Bunch members, and Golf Ball says to leave them. While flying above the FreeSmart Supervan, Fries says that the snowball fight FreeSmart is having is intense.

In "The Long-lost Yoyle City", Team No-Name end up in Davidland and fly above the sea of Davids. During this, Firey and Gelatin tie their legs together again and nearly fall off, with Gelatin grabbing onto Puffball leaving the two dangling above the sea of Davids. Fries is annoyed by this and thinks they should be kicked out of the team. Tennis Ball says they once they get out of Davidland, Puffball can lower Gelatin and Firey onto the ground so that they can untie their legs. Fries thinks this is a good plan but is wary of how long it'll take to get out of Davidland. Once they are nearly out of Davidland, Fries is relieved as he says Davids are the most annoying creatures he's laid his eyes upon. This provokes the Davids and they all say "Aw, seriously?"

When having to climb the summit of Yoyle Mountain, Pencil kicks Rocky into a lake where a fish monster eats him. Golf Ball tells Fries to ride on Puffball and go to the HPRC to recover him, much to his annoyance. He recovers Rocky, but Rocky gets hit by a stick thrown by Coiny and falls into the fish monster again. Fries recovers him again but then the members of W.O.A.H. Bunch (except Needle) fly into Rocky, knocking him off where he gets eaten by the fish monster again, which Fries is getting annoyed at. After recovering Rocky for the third time, the rest of the team get back on Puffball and they fly to the summit. However, before reaching the finish, Puffball decides she wants to deliberately lose the challenge so that the team will be up for elimination and she can win the prize for having the most likes. So she shrinks, making the others fall off her and into the lake where the fish monster eats them.

In "Well Rested", Fries is recovered by Coiny and Needle and does Cake at Stake with his team. He got the second least amount of likes and doesn't get the prize. Fries is the fourth contestant safe with 459 dislikes and is giving some electric Yoyleberries. After Cake at Stake, Rocky decides to leave their team. Fries doesn't mind as he thought Rocky was dead weight.

For the challenge, the teams must find a building to sleep in. Team No-Name approaches a hotel with a broken sign that appears to read "Live Here Hotel". Tennis Ball is nervous about entering, but Fries convinces him to come in. Fries calls the first room bad and rates it a 2/10. He calls the second room fancy and rates it 7/10. The next room is just decent and gets a 6/10. The last room is iffy and gets a 3/10. At the end of the hallway is an Evil Leafy-shaped mirror. Tennis Ball says that they should all stare at it, which seems to summon Evil Leafy.

The team runs away as Evil Leafy gives chase. They run in the iffy room, but Evil Leafy phases her body through the window. They run into the decent room next, which has some boards and glue on the floor. Fries helps board the window since he has arms, and this manages to keep Evil Leafy out for a while. Sometime after the sun sets, some water splashes onto the glue, which causes the boards to fall off. They run into the fancy room next, but Gelatin's headphones trigger the motion-activated door, allowing Evil Leafy to come in. The only room left to hide in is the bad room, but the walls immediately fall over when the team enters it. With nowhere left to run, the team braces for Evil Leafy to do her worst, but she ends up leaving when she hears Coiny repeatedly chanting her name elsewhere. With Evil Leafy gone, Fries' team enters the fancy room to go to sleep. Team No-Name is the first team safe.

In "Intruder Alert", Fries questions about the new fancy intro they had then finds out that the show has got a budget surplus. He is then told that Lewis won the lottery and he congrats Lewis, after this asks if they had a better Cake At Stake song because of the money. TV assures him that they do they TV starts playing the piano they slams his head on the piano, Fries calls TV's new Cake At Stake song absolutely horrendous, After that Gelatin insist that TV should get another chance. TV plays a video that isn't his, Fries notices and announces it to everyone. Fries and Golf Ball then start chanting for TV to be sent to the TLC/LOL.

Everyone is arguing about the TLC/LOL being locked then Fries spins the contest wheel. Fries is confused as to why the wheel is taking so long to spin. Immediately after saying that the wheel stops and the challenge is to build a new loser chamber. Later on, Fries finds out that Gelatin and Firey are leaving to Freesmart to get the yoylelite, he tells them to stir up trouble within FreeSmart, they agree to it then leave.

Golf Ball tells the team what to do as usual and Fries replies with "Whatever, bossy bot." then Fries and his team run to the Yoyle Woodland. Golf Ball keeps telling Fries and Tennis Ball to do stuff which Tennis Ball does with no complain while Fries is making a lot of groans and annoyed sounds. Later when Golf Ball wasn't specific with what she was saying, Fries glues her to a tree, and smiles as she is screaming. Golf Ball then notices that Gelatin and Firey were missing Fries then replies with "You just noticed?" Later in the episode Tennis Ball and Golf Ball start nerding out about the yoylite which causes Fries to get annoyed and leave.

After the episode W.O.A.H. Bunch's chamber explodes making Fries say the name of their loser chamber called WTF.

In "Meaty", Fries notices Lewis driving in a fancy car, he then questions if that was Lewis. Tennis Ball assures him that is Lewis, Fries then goes on to ask Firey Speaker Box how Lewis became rich. Firey Speaker says he won the lottery. After hearing this Fries is willing to try the lottery and asks for a ticket. He gets a ticket and runs up to the Lottery Machine happily. Fries runs to the Lottery Machine and places his ticket inside. He is then told to wait 2 days to find out if he won.

Tennis Ball is questioning how everyone got atop the Eiffel Tower then Fries interrupts him saying "Car." Tennis Ball questions what he means then Fries points at a car that looks like Lewis'. Fries tells Tennis Ball to hop in the back seat of the car then says he will drive and Tennis Ball will pour paint. Tennis Ball agrees then Fries drives around the Eiffel Tower as Tennis Ball paints it. Later in the challenge Tennis Ball asks for where Golf Ball is, Fries tells him she's on her way. Tennis Ball then asks for Firey, and his Yoyleite? Fries replies with "Just keep pouring paint, TB. They're probably underground." and he listens. A few moments later Pencil starts shooting at Fries and Tennis Ball. Fries continues driving then tells Tennis Ball to make something they can use to defend their selves. Tennis Ball makes a machine but it fails causing Fries to get annoyed. Tennis Ball then tells Fries his inventions without GB are just gonna suck. Fries then rips left mirror off of car and tells Tennis Ball to use it to deflect the lasers, which he agrees to. The Freesmarters start using paint to shoot then Fries asks for ideas on how to distract them. Tennis Ball gets an idea then whispers it to Fries. Fries calls the idea insane and doesn't agree. Tennis Ball then says they have no other option. Fries agrees then speeds up the Eiffel Tower, and his car knocks the Yoyleite out of Ruby's hand. Ruby and Pencil jump off for the yoylite and fall to their deaths, along with Fries and Tennis Ball.

Despite being canonically dead, he is later seen in the episode's stinger, actively refusing Golf Ball's demand for more screen time by covering her with his hand.

In "Catch These Hands", Gelatin uses his laser gun to revive Fries using the HPRC in Yoyleland, bringing him back to Goiky with a hook, which Fries laters complains about being sharp. He tries to guess what Tennis Ball is trying to impersonate, but all his guesses are incorrect. He sees TB make cross his legs, thinking it means something he's not, so he asks Gelatin what Tennis Ball isn't. Gelatin jokes about Tennis Ball not being good at making shields, angering Fries as the incorrect answer could lead to TB's death. He questions Gelatin if he wants that, who points out Fries didn't care when his driving killed three other people last episode. Gelatin continues to joke about this, calling Fries a "cute little murderer", before Fries threatens him saying "Wanna catch these hands?" Since "hands" was the answer to Tennis Ball's charade, he and TB switch positions and now Fries is in the trash compactor. He is seen dancing, but the rest of the team can't tell what he's doing, leading to the trash compactor crushing and killing him.

Fries later appears in Hell, coming in with Nickel and Pin, but is mostly silent. This is up until another scene where he tries explaining that they were all sent there after being crushed by the compactors. Unlike everyone else in Hell who talked in a different voice in verbose sentences, Fries keeps his normal voice and speaks like he always does, saying he doesn't know why everyone else is speaking the way they are and he that he's not gonna do it. The response to this is Pencil squishing him, with her and Pin agreeing they couldn't understand Fries' speech. The rest of Team No-Name is killed before the other teams, putting Fries up for elimination with them.

In "Taste the Sweetness", Fries is first seen still in Hell swimming with everyone else through lava, still keeping his regular voice. He and the rest of the dead contestants are recovered and they go in the trunk of Lewis' second car for the elimination. Gelatin doesn't want Fries to leave, though mostly so he could eat more of his fries, much to Fries' annoyance. When Golf Ball is safe and believes the viewers are seeing her as the team leader, Fries asks what leading she's actually done. Golf Ball starts to respond but is cut off by gasoline being thrown at her face, which Fries sees as no response. He is in the bottom 2 with Gelatin, exclaiming "oh my tater" and is seemingly confused when Gelatin starts listing multiple parts of animals he's made from. As the votes are shown, he's seen nervously eating some of his fries. He survives over Gelatin and gets set on fire by gasoline as his prize.

After the elimination, almost everyone leaves their team to join Ice Cube's. Fries doesn't switch, making him the only member of his team. At the start of the challenge, he kidnaps Bomby and takes him to a forest, telling him to get digging for underground ingredients. Bomby keeps on refusing to, but Fries continues to ask in the same manner. This eventually works as Bomby is later seen digging for Fries. Needle comes in asking if Fries has seen Bomby, to which he lies. Needle immediately notices Bomby is (continuously) digging before being told by Fries to put him down and to also get digging. He addresses her by "Needy", causing Needle to slap him, but while her hand is reached out, he puts a shovel in her hand. This leads to her also digging for him. When noticing he's low on time and that his diggers are "slacking off" he goes into the other team's store, takes some expired ice cream and then tells the recommended characters he has some. This leads to many of them coming his way, a large amount of them fall into the diggers' holes before Fries warns them about them. The challenge ends, and he managed to feed 200 customers despite the ice cream being moldy, which he says is part of his brand, and his "team" wins the challenge. He's seen in the stinger as the other two still continue to dig, telling the viewers to get digging themselves as the next episode is probably underground.

IDFB[]

In "Welcome Back", Fries is digging in a garden. Pin asks him what he's doing and he explains that he only has one fry left due to the rest either rotting away, being burned by Firey, or eaten by Gelatin and that he is growing potatoes (presumably to make fries with). Pin thinks that he's just gardening and Fries gets annoyed until Bomby shows up. He says it's been a long time since he's said anything and asked him how many lines he has in the episode before asking if he could help loosen the soil for him. By "help", he means blowing him up, which also sets Woody on fire.

Fries in IDFB

Fries continues to dig, and Pin asks how he was going to grow potatoes due to the lack of sunlight in Yoyle City. He tells her Tennis Ball invented a new strain called "Grotatoes" which can grow with slightly less sun. Fries remembers Tennis Ball telling him there might be side effects but he was too desperate to care. Pin says that they sound delicious, but Fries says they are just for him. Later, Coiny arrives in the garden, excited to eat Grotatoes. He wants to eat one as soon as possible but Fries angrily tells him he can't as they've barely started to grow. Coiny tells him to calm down, and take a "deep fried breath" and Fries is annoyed at the pun. Coiny and Pin leave the garden to follow Golf Ball and Tennis Ball, who has a Wall Teleporter which they are going to use to bring someone out of the Locker of Losers, but Fries stays to make sure the Grotatoes are perfect. However, Coiny wasn't joking about the deep fried breaths, as in this episode's stinger, he comes back to Fries with a vat of boiling oil. Fries doesn't deep fry himself, but Coiny does, much to Fries' (and Leafy's) horror as he begs Coiny to stop.

Battle for BFDI[]

Fries in Battle for BFDI

In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Fries is first seen witnessing Ice Cube join in with truce between Liy and Clock and he says she is good at negotiation, after initially thinking she was too meek. Bracelety believes because of this that Ice Cube's fan club is growing, to which Fries tells her (while calling her "Ringy") that he isn't a fan and was just analyzing her. She asks how he isn't a fan of Ice Cube and Fries tells her she's just a follower and followers never win. Bracelety says she hates Fries because of this, which is followed by Fanny coming in and saying she also hates him. Leafy then appears and says that she loves Fries along with everyone else, but he tells her she isn't helping.

When forming the teams for the Battle for BFDI, Yellow Face invites Bell and Foldy to be on his team. Foldy immediately invites Stapy, who Marker follows. Fries then goes up to Yellow Face saying he admires his persuasion skills and thinks he and Puffball should join the team.

When having to get X's baskets down from the air, Fries interrupts Stapy and Foldy's game of Rock Paper Scissors and tells them to stop. Stapy starts to rhyme about the game, which Fries doesn't think is appropriate. When Stapy asks how he could help, Fries asks him if he is lightweight. Stapy isn't but Foldy is, so he tells her that he was going to throw her up and she had to grab the basket. Foldy isn't sure about this but Fries throws her anyway. Unfortunately, Foldy makes contact with the fan blades on the basket and is ripped apart, much to the anger of Stapy. They end up winning anyway thanks to Puffball.

In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", Marker wants to play "Toss the Dirt" with Puffball, but Fries tells her to instead push their swing around fifty times. She does this, but not without Bell calling Fries "pushy".

In "Today's Very Special Episode", when Bracelety is eliminated, both Fries and Firey Jr. notice Bracelety's name is not "Ringy". During the challenge, Fries is part of Free Food's project to Four, The Year's Hottest Look, which is just him and some of his teammates piled on top of each other. His team ends up winning.

In "Fortunate Ben", during the plane flying challenge, Four starts to obliterate the contestants who can fly. Before he can do this to Puffball, Fries asks if Puffball could just be disabled instead of obliterated. Four agrees and wraps Puffball with bandages. Fries and the rest of this team, get stapled shut inside their paper plane by Stapy, but manage to still win when Stapy breaks the ground in half with his staples.

In "Four Goes Too Far", when Pen gets inflicted with the Twinkle of Contagion, he tries to pass it on to Free Food, who all look away from him. Pen then says he has some very tossable dirt. This gets Marker to turn around and nearly open his eyes but Fries turns him the other way.

In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", Fries tells Ruby to stop playing with the pieces of the jawbreakers, mistaking them for Poppers. Flower then explains to him that sound can come into a jawbreaker, but not out of one. Fries is about to ask something but is then interrupted when Ruby and Flower cover his face with a jawbreaker piece. Match, who also has a jawbreaker covering her face, notices this and tells him Flower's eye for fashion has been very good lately.

In "Questions Answered", at the start of the episode, Gelatin is about to eat one of Fries' fries until he notices something among them. He tells Fries that some of the fries look swollen, which he thinks is Gelatin using another word for "overweight". Gelatin tries to explain to him what he means, but it just makes him angrier and Fries tells him to go eat someone else's innards.

During the quiz challenge, Fries is getting annoyed at Stapy, who is trying to make something, for not buzzing in. When it's up to Free Food and iance to answer, Stapy finishes crafting his fake buzzer and switches it with iance's so that they couldn't answer and Stapy could steal their answer. After the challenge, Fries figures out Stapy has been planning this all this time and is pleased with him. However, Match shows footage of their team buzzer being switched, and Donut puts Free Food up for elimination.

In "This Episode Is About Basketball", during Cake At Stake, Gelatin is being held up by Lightning in an attempt to grab one of Fries' fries. However, Donut notices him, and he makes a desperate attempt to eat a fry by chomping one. However, the "fry" he chomped on turns out to be X, who escaped colliding with Four and Donut and was hiding all over the place in previous episodes, including in Fries in the previous episode.

While X reads the votes (backwards) it is revealed Fries is 5th safe. During the basketball challenge, Yellow Face tells Marker to play "Toss the Balls", which is followed by Marker tossing the balls backwards into the basket and then continuing the motion, digging a hole. That has already made Free Food safe, so Fries looks down into the hole, telling Marker he could stop.

In "What Do You Think of Roleplay?" when Four and X reveal to have switched bodies with each other, Fries asks what is going on. During the challenge, Foldy, who had been unfolded by Ruby earlier, asks someone to fold her again. Fries protests, saying that they should be focusing on the challenge, but Foldy tells him that if he can't fold the paper correctly, he can't be trusted with the challenge. He then tries to fold her, but folds her into two rectangles, causing pain to her.

Fries-stuck-with-the-steps

Fries trying his best to re-fold Foldy.

After some time, Fries is still trying to fix Foldy. He's nearly got her to her regular state but is having trouble interlocking the flaps. Meanwhile, Puffball, who is actually Rocky in disguise, vomits on Yellow Face. Fries says he doesn't have to time to acknowledge Puffball, failing to realize Puffball was Rocky. Eraser then tells Fries to stop folding Foldy back because she'll be a pentagon again, but he says that there are many problems with what he said. When iance figures out that "Lightning" was Spongy, Fries, seemingly impressed, asks Fanny how they managed to figure it out.

In "Return of the Rocket Ship", Fries interrupts Yellow Face's ad, saying that they don't have time for his "blabber". Marker, Bell, and Lollipop beg for Yellow Face to finish it, but Fries tells them to quit it, and scolds Lollipop for not only being on a different team but also trying to sell a product that is the exact opposite of Yellow Face's. Lollipop then states that Fries clearly doesn't understand market forces. Fries is angry and shocked when Lollipop takes one of his fries, bites it, and walks away with it.

Bell asks Fries why he is getting so worked up, and he replies that Four and X are about to announce the next contest. Fries then stares at them and waits for something to happen. He says the challenge always starts with X floating mysteriously into the air, and it will start any second now. When X breaks through the ground, Fries and Eraser both stare in shock.

In "Don't Dig Straight Down", when Foldy is about to turn in the cheap, plastic, green toys that resemble emeralds, Fries stops her, saying he's not sure if Four would like to be cheated like that. Marker convinces Fries otherwise by bringing up how Four said, "You don't need frills to make a feast for the eyes", so Four would be fine with trash. Fries decides he's right and decides to turn them in. Fries screams when Four compliments their forgery but is unimpressed when he makes a joke about "forgery" sounding similar to "for Dream Island". Fries cheers, albeit with an unamused expression, when Four declares their team safe.

In "The Four is Lava", Fries is recovered, as he died offscreen between the events of the previous episode.

In "The Escape from Four", Fries is first seen walking with everyone else to watch Four struggle to suck up Spongy. Fries then helps with pulling the eliminated contestants out of Four. He later switches to compete on The Power of Two after the BFDI is swapped with A BFB.

Battle for BFB[]

In "X Marks the Spot", Fries cheers when X is supposedly glued to the ground.

In "SOS (Save Our Show)", Fries appears in a scenario where Two didn't appear and BFB didn't split. However, after Fanny calls out Four for their hosting, Fries still declares a split anyway, between the same 40 contestants who leave and the 14 who continue competing.

Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two[]

TPOT1-10

Fries in Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two

In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", when Fanny argues that they shouldn't switch back to Four due to their inconsistency with the prizes, Fries praises Fanny for her leader-like attitude but then brings up how Two isn't much better since they've have been waiting for a long time to actually start competing. Two then appears out of nowhere, scaring everyone, more than happy to start the game. They fly to the stop of the building and announce Cake at Stake, Fries shouts "What?", as no one can hear them.

During team picking, Fries joins the team of balls since Puffball is on it. Pen later joins as well to be with Eraser and asks where Blocky is; Fries reminds him that Blocky stayed with Four to battle for a BFB. When the contest starts, Two mentions an important rule from the top of the building, and Fries shouts that they can't hear them when they're up there. Fries' team first attempts to hop onto Puffball, but she's to small to hold them all. They then decide to go with Tennis Ball's trebuchet. Fries points out that it functions more like a catapult and Tennis Ball tells him he had to improvise. The team is then launched in the air, but they fly over the building, Fries losing his fries in the process. They land in a tree, which flings them back into the trebuchet, and then back into the tree several times. Puffball then grabs Fries with her mouth and uses him to catch the other Are You Okay members. His team is the first one safe. Fries later yells at Two because they didn't coherently explain one of the rules.

In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Fries asks Two if they'll ever get a new Cake at Stake song. Two says that would be cool and continues on with Cake at Stake. Fries can also be seen gasping in response to Pie getting eliminated and also walks to the elevator with the other contestants before Two starts the intro. During the challenge, he helps by stacking blocks that Tennis Ball hands him. Later, Tennis Ball and Fries can be seen admiring their tall stack when Black Hole suddenly starts sucking up their blocks, but Pen manages to stop him. Fries' team is safe with only one block, which Fries seems dissatisfied with.

In "Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters", during the challenge, Fries grabs a block and runs into Golf Ball's Underground Factory where they get ready to build a rollercoaster for the amusement park. Later, Fries tells TV about how much he admires his tutorial on making extraordinary chairs out of blocks instead of basic ones. Fries then tells everyone to chant for TV. When the team is done, they head back to the park and upload the rollercoaster that Puffball imagined. It ends up being more hazardous than expected. When the time comes for Two to try out the rollercoaster, Fries is one of the contestants who rides it with them. The ride ends up moving too fast and flies off the track, but everyone lands safely on Death P.A.C.T Again's trampoline. Are You Okay is given a 5/10, which is enough to not be up for elimination.

In "Gardening Zero", Fries tells Two to stop chewing gum while hosting Cake at Stake. Later, when Cloudy says that water-based contestants have it rough, due to him and Ice Cube being in the bottom two, Fries assumes that it's because they evaporate too easily.

For the challenge, Fries puts on his bracelet and is teleported to Davidland, where his team's Funny Plant resides. Fries pretends to be concerned when he hears that a giant David saying "Aw, seriously?" has 2,763 reverberation units, before asking Golf Ball if that's a bad thing. Golf Ball confirms that it is and that they shouldn't do anything to provoke the Davids or their sound waves will kill their plant. Fries almost immediately insults a David, but Golf Ball covers his mouth before he can finish his sentence. His team manages to win by not having their plant destroyed before two other teams killed their plants first. In the stinger however, Eraser makes a comment on the Davids' odor. This causes a David to say "Aw, seriously?", killing their plant.

In "Fishes and Dishes", Fries is first shown planting a Funny Plant on The Sun. For the challenge, his team was originally going to use the Robotic Fish Monster, but it was stolen by The Strongest Team on Earth. The team has no choice but to use the other team's breathable bubbles. Golf Ball attempts to exclude Puffball from the challenge again, forcing Fries to tell her to back off. Golf Ball says that Puffball will sabotage them, so Fries decides that he and Puffball will just sabotage the other teams. They first target The S! by offering them a shovel to dig under the Goiky Canal, which causes the team to die multiple times. Later, they spot Just Not in the sky and attack them. Fries is eventually knocked off of Puffball when Pillow throws Price Tag at him, and he falls to his death. Fries' team is up for elimination since they didn't get a plate to Two.

In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", Fries is in the bottom two with Tennis Ball and is eliminated with 4,750 votes. Once he learns that he's been eliminated, Fries tells Puffball to activate the Elimination Prevention Plan but gets eliminated before they can do so.
