That 70s Show - Fez Reveals where he's from...kinda

[Sailorsega]

What episode is this from?

[Jiemusu89]

That 70s Show is fiction, meaning that countries in it's universe probably mean something completely different to what they are in real life. Nothing is canon, so if writing fanfiction you don't need to find a real country, you can just make it up.

[thaFalkon]

@Jiemusu89 That 70's Show ism't fiction, it;s realistic fiction... There's a difference.

[Jiemusu89]

@thaFalkon As much as I dislike binary divisions of 'A or B', the 70s show is fiction. If it was at least based on specific factual real life events, I could kind of see the point you're making with it being 'realistic fiction'. But not, it's an entirely constructed universe, with entirely constructed characters, representing a timeline that never happened in real life. it's entirely fiction.

[thaFalkon]

@Jiemusu89 Read the book Hatchet by Gary Paulson... That book is realistic fiction... As opposed to books such as LotR, or Harry Potter, whereas those are fiction... Realistic fiction is based in real life, with real events, but fake characters and story... That's what this is... You might as well call Titanic fiction because the story isn't entirely true...

[Thamer4life]

He's not from Venezuela. In one of the episodes, he said was gonna saying something about his "country; the beautiful ISLAND of--" and that was it.

Venezuela is not an island.

[XxaragornXx123]

go to wikipedia...if u look for it in spanish it says that he is from venezuela,but if u look it in english it'll say that he was born in miami,florida.. but parents from venezuela

[XxaragornXx123]

he is from VENEZUELA!!

[himatara]

fez es de argentina

[CaboArmorKing]

South Africa? Either that or something like the Antilles or Indonesia. Doesn't really matter, but it is fun to speculate.

[tryandlisten]

@CaboArmorKing I saw someone say once they think it could be Aruba? Which could be because of the Dutch influence there. Not sure about England influence there. Ah who knows, you're right, its fun to speculate

[Daydreamer1083]

Aw man! That sucks!



[gracie1345]

fez is actually spelt fes in the show. it stands for foreign exchange student. (:

[Daydreamer1083]

@gracie1345 Dang, why didn't I think of that! (Totally Sarcastic)

[puppyluveromg]

@gracie1345 no its fez. It does stand for foreign exchange student but they changed the s to a z because of "poetic licence"

[Redmage1987]

@gracie1345 Wrong...you can even see the spelling in the episode "That '70s Musical". In the scene where Kitty and Red are telling Fez, Hyde, and Eric Goodnight.

[DJETER4EVER]

miami florida- go to ask.com and type " where is wilmer valderrama from?"

it says he was born on jan 30 in miami florida

[allmusicallday43657]

hes from no where. thats the point of his name:p

[LckyGang]

He's From Brazil.. He said it on his show yo momma

[IIVCloudxRisingVII]

@LckyGang Yea but were wondering where is character "Fez" is from. Not the actor.

[djfabiospt]

even the writters of the show don't know where he's from. they said that on the last episode, that one of the making of

[amaloliesque]

I remember reading somewhere that he's from Venezuela...

[Iobjectyourreality]

@amaloliesque His response to Hyde asking "what if we ask the dutch" was "who can understand a word they say." There for, it makes sense that he is dutch.

[jth1206kp]

Make him show a birth certificate.

[teamjacobherules]

HES FROM MORROCO ACTUALLY LOOK IT UP

[Icanhasoboe]

Judging solely by this British/Dutch argument, he could be from Guyana, or maybe the Caribbean islands since both places have been colonized by them.

[rich1051414]

@Icanhasoboe Aruba :)

[geral824]

He's from an island

[iSergio967]

lol this show is so old and it ended in like 2006 and it's funny how people still debating or wondering where fez is from i honestly don't care but from watching this show a lot i think fez is mexican

[xzaz2]

I can, cuz im Dutch

[fusiontoa18]

@xzaz2 pannenkoeken

[xzaz2]

@fusiontoa18 :)

[lookfeellearn]

FEZ is from the Falkland Islands. Check that shhh out.

[34lbs]

@lookfeellearn argentina? probs, he does also say to the british guy "we wont the war get over it."

[HUMammal]

Where the hell are you from you fuck

[PlumpyPealTime]

He's from france garunteed

[davidbravotyes]

Hes just fez. plain and.. not so simple.

[yaman63]

i say indonesia it was an english and dutch colony so it would be only logical that he is from there and since there are many islands there is a far greater chance that he is from there

[FaithVDean]

i think he's dutch mixed with something else

[FaithVDean]

"Fez's homeland is one of the longest running gags on the show. Much is revealed in the episode "Love of My Life," where one of Fez's compatriots (played by Justin Long) comes for a visit. In the first teaser, when his friend suggest that he goes home he says "yes, I will go to Brazil..... and then catch a flight home." In the final teaser, when Hyde finally asks them, "Where the hell are you guys from?", his friend says that the name depends on whether you ask the British or the Dutch.

[FaithVDean]

However, Fez explains that the British won't say it because they hate the island, and no one understands a word the Dutch say. The friend has a heavy English accent. Fez's explanation to this is that his friend is from the west side of the island. In his country, the water is bad so Fez doesn't shower daily.

[FaithVDean]

Fez is often assumed to be of Hispanic or Latino descent, he clearly speaks Spanish, as is seen in a reel between scenes where he is singing a Spanish song in a higher pitch than his voice is. He also speaks Spanish in an early episode when he first meets Eric's grandmother. In a job interview he claims he can speak Dutch. In "The Immigrant Song," Fez retells his catch phrase ("I said good day!") in his native tongue, which sounds like gibberish." wikipedia, this info is true

[FaithVDean]

....He also speaks Spanish in an early episode when he first meets Eric's grandmother. In a job interview he claims he can speak Dutch. In "The Immigrant Song," Fez retells his catch phrase ("I said good day!") in his native tongue, which sounds like gibberish..." from wikipedia. This information is true.

[nowheremuffin]

[chaolut]

[rockondudeish]

suriname because the dutch are there and the britsh hate them

[bestshowontheweb]

Dutch East Indies maybe?

[bekfrexo]

I think he is from Suriname.

[SlamIt889]

i know wer fez is from!

a country that has never fought a war, is hated by the british, and loved by the dutch

[JtiksPies]

I would say it's more like Aruba

And while it is foreign exchange student, it's still spelled fez because that's how they pronounce it

[citroenzuur]

Fez's country has: more lizzards than people, been in a war with great brittain and won, is an island, has connections with holland and great brittain, is not brasil mexico jamaica or panama.

[trinidad1994]

@citroenzuur i think fez is from the island of magarita. its an island owned by venezuela. i went their in 2007 and their was a shit tonne of iguanas. the beach was even named iguana beach. i'm from a nearby island called trinidad and in our history class we learned venezuela had a border dispute with british territory, guyana.

i'm not sure that counts as war but its the best answer i got. i know the dutch had early influence on the new world.

[FamilyGuyFanatic800]

@citroenzuur Fes is Fillipino?

[Toto121982]

@citroenzuur Suriname???

[MsRaichuD]

@Toto121982 Neee

[jackasskidzify]

@citroenzuur dominican republic or hati

[Dani1love]

In real life, Idk about the show lol that's a running gag :p

[Dani1love]

I think I read somewhere that Wilmer Valderamma (Fez) was born in Miami but his mom is from Venezuela and his dad is from Colombia, or vice versa I don't remember haha. Either way, he is of South American descent

[superjew837]

First of all, the place the actor is from doesnt mean thats where the character is from. I doubt they were all born in wisconsin. Second of all, wilmer, not wilber

[mocdg]

yall are dumb hes from venezuela look at his wikipedia page wilber valderama

[gorrilaztiger]

@mocdg Ok thats real life. They're asking where the heck he's from in the show.

[judestan15]

Not knowing where Fez is from is the point of the running gag. Don't ruin it by over analyzing! Haha. You guys are trippin.

[4ndr3w90]

@judestan15 Exactlyyy

[TheCaptainjuicy]

1. Fez is from the eastern hemisphere

2. In an episode he speaks some native language where it sounds like arabic

3. He likes confusing people because he says he has latin pride and jamaican fire.

4. He says his country is outnumbered by lizards.

It could be around the African area, there are british decent caucasians in africa, he could be speaking an african tribal language. But he could be a pacific islander cause he says hes from an island. I am confused !!!

[iDoom9]

We'll if he takes from the foreigners stand point your they are sharing xbox with you and your shit. Racist bitch

[LiavPB]

All we know about fez country :

1.He grew on the other side of the world , probably near africa , and they eat food on the floor like a picnic.

2.The British hate's his country cause they won the war or something.

------------------------------­------------------------------­------------------------------

two things

he dont have spanish accent he just learned spanish he even said that in one of the first season.

he's real country where is from (in life) is miami florida , now he lives in LA

[RichardCannonwalker]

@LiavPB well, Britian had a war with an ( i think african ) country named Tanzania. Maybe he's from there.

[croakerb]

@lamZaina it's not at all a thick Spanish accent, not even close

[ilovemichael081]

Wow

[93214919321491]

Okay now everyone pay attention to this. Fez in real life was born in Miami, Florida but he is of Columbian decent. Everybody happy now.

[IamZaina]

he looks dutch but he has a thick Spanish accent

[Davidmay303]

Definitely a southern American country. Not Spain because he is too dark.

[johnp0729]

@Davidmay303 Spain is in Europe.

[lonleywolf7]

is fes mexican ???i thought he was im confused

[psjbfan]

@Gleelova101 right on! Can we share him?

[Gleelova101]

HES FROM MY HEART

[ThoseCrazyGuys131]

[winnerACE1109]

All I know is that he's Hispanic cuz sometimes he would say and sing in Spanish

[PeaceTeaMan]

He's from Iraq

[charliejoe2014]

At one point they kind of hinted Brazil. Thats what I was thinking

[LilHotPinkers]

Fez Is Mexican .....Even In one of the That 70's Show Episodes Kelso Told Fez In the circle That Fez Is gunna be doing sumthen with Mexican Blankets.....

[KingOfKingz819]

@LilHotPinkers kelso was comparing hyde, himself, and fez to cars who got to ride jackie: Kelso was a ferrari, Hyde was a mustang, and Fez was donkey pulling a wagon with colorful mexican blankets lmfao

[LilHotPinkers]

@KingOfKingz819 Yea Yea hahaha

[nebirish]

I'm guessing he's from South America or Central America. No need to criticize me. Lol

[SunsetFire15]

im thinking Philipines

[98vanguard]

somewhere in this episode he said something about brazil I think.

[TheChosenBlox]

@98vanguard he said i'll take a flight back to brazil then ill go home from there

[joie639]

@chaolut no shitm they call him Fez, like a nickname

[M4ST3RL1NKX88]

@joie639

Yeah, a fez is a kind of foreign hat, the one you see the monkeys wearing at circuses. The red flat-topped one with tassels. I think they was originally Turkish but now men in some Muslim countries wear them.

[TwilighterOsie0913]

@chaolut and all these years i thought it was FEZ .... o.o

[monsecrazy7]

@chaolut no its not jeez ppl go check out that 70s musical episode on the bed it says 'FEZ'

[chaolut]

@monsecrazy7 good observation♪

[Chipetteify]

@chaolut But if you look at th description of an episode when it's on T.V., They spell it Fez.

[chaolut]

@Chipetteify thats a foreign s, lol xD

[gorrilaztiger]

@chaolut Fail

[homies953]

[ibuttersgirdog]

[nickstevens50]

@chaolut lol i like the Z more then the S makes him look cooler haha

[forageriss]

@chaolut The name "Fez" is short for "foreign exchange student," despite the difference in spelling, which the series' official web site describes as "poetic license".

[ProtoDemnGamer]

@chaolut No its actually FEZ, they made it a Z, dont know why

[JosFcGamesta]

@chaolut no its fez dumbass like in the hat

[callofdutyWAWmodder]

@chaolut No, it's Fez.

[Jdjoyner14]

[paramoregrl2]

@chaolut uhm it is f e z

[idntevenpic]

@chaolut well atleast someone knows why hes called fez but anyway ur right on your part but they call him fez cause it sounds cooler than fes and its much easier than his real name

[AbeVegaJr]

[BrickCity4eva]

[seph212]

I'm guessing Suriname because at one point it was dutch, french and british

[MaferThePeruvian]

HAHHAHA this is so funny. in real life he's half colombian and half venezuelan :)

[AkaZetsu]

So he's from India?

[snipeshot11]
