It's not the Fried Liver Attack. It's just called the 4.Ng5 Two Knights

I find this attack annoying I play e6 and it seems to work
Explain? The pawn on e5 can't move backward
After bc4 the best reply is bc5. (d3 nf6 ng5 and u can castle and avoid any early attack)

As black I saw the fried liver attack to many times.
So now I have to learn how to play against such a dumb strategy.
How would you play the hyper dragon against the fried liver?

With respect, you seem quite confused about the opening. Instead of trying to learn specific information, you should focus on basic opening principles - control the centre, develop pieces, castle quickly (ideally kingside). Of course you're free to ignore, this is just a suggestion 
d5 5. exd5 (don't retake the pawn! Nxd5 6. Nxf7! [or 6. d4 is recommended by masters] Kxf7 7. Qf3+ Ke6 8. Nc3 eventual d4 0-0 Re1+ that's pretty annoying) Na5 (best move, to attack the bishop. Here, white has one extra pawn but black has many counter-attack possibility's and have a fast development).
The sacrifice on f7 is the Fried-Liver-Attack.

There is no “best” reply
The Polerio Defense is relatively safe. You can block the Bishop check with either a Pawn or a Bishop. Blocking with a Pawn seems to lose a Pawn but Black has more than enough compensation with how poorly developed White is.
Another way to completely side-step the Knight Attack variation is to simply develop the dark-squared Bishop to c5 before the Knight, as you're ready to castle and Ng5-f7 loses two pieces for a Rook and Pawn, which isn't advised.

Fritz variation is goated for black if because they have no idea how to play it (unless they have studied then they just have better opening knowledge so your openings are going to suck against their theory) and it is good
Example Game
After 5 Nd4... you initiate the Fritz variation and if they see the checkmate they have to play 10 Qe2... and lose the queen with a terribly cramped position, if they know this then none of their tricks work and you play normal chess

This post was made in 2018, at that time, the fried liver attack was making quite a large comeback in the chess world, while you are right, I believe that due to the elo of the creatoe of the post, he might have been in the prime time of the opening.
