Marcus Geebs Freakazoid! was a greatly under appreciated show that was cut down do to low ratings and new FCC rules. This show was ahead of what age group it tried to reach out to because of it's strong use of adult contented humor which kids don't get and it's many shots at everything in the world. Heck! It made fun of the pope. Freakazoid! was as off the wall as Animaniacs if not more off the wall. The show had a great use of comedy among culture and even made fun of itself. The characters really made this show a classic as well as great reason to watch because even the villains were hilariously funny along with the heroes and special guests. It's a real shame it only lasted two years and should be brought back where it can hopefully be appreciated more.

ricardopthomaz I don't know why, and i really don't want to find out why people turned their backs on this show in 1997. I can guess that people didn't have a sense of humor that time, or even, maybe they used to have problems with their livers, I don't know, and I don't care.All i can state here is the obvious truth:THIS SHOW WAS AWESOME!!!I used to watch it on the WB TV channel back in 1996, and I never missed one episode. I guess I can say that I was a freaky fan!The gags were pretty funny, the fourth wall jokes, the in-jokes, the reference jokes, all of them beyond funny! It was a kind of freaky humor, true, but it was never predictable.Examples:There was Freakazoid running to catch Lobe, one of the villains from the show, when all of a sudden, Sergeant Cosgrove tells him to go with him for some event in the park, or to a festival of whatever, and Freakazoid just goes. Why? No reason! They just want to fool around and have some fun, and catch the villain later.Or maybe, there was Freakazoid thinking about catching Lobe in his latest attempt in villainy, or Cave Man, or Gutierres, or whoever, when suddenly, the narrator of the show appears to them telling that he had acting classes and starts to do Shakespeare. Why? Again... No reason. Just having a ball with some narrator guy.Or maybe we are in the middle of a plot, when suddenly Freakazoid, out of nowhere, is with Brain and Wacko at the Ambling Entertainment building, talking with Steven Spielberg trying to find witch one is Spielberg's favorite show.Or... Get this: Freakazoid is tied to a table and Gutierrez is about to finish him, when all of a sudden, just out of nowhere, they started to watch funny videos and have fun with them. Again... Why? What was the reason for that? Well, you can explain to me IF you manage to explain why they show a freakin' chimpanzee in the opening of the show. Or even, who was that Emit fella that seemed to be always smiling and used to give me those Wally feelings. Was there a reason for that? Maybe... Or maybe not... That's it.And what about Sgt. Cosgrove stepping forward simply pointing the finger and saying "cut it out!" for some burglars making them return their score to the place it belongs? Or what about a Japanese cartoon called Hero Boy about a kid dressed in superhero clothes who can't manage to stop menaces and monsters for what it's worth, yet makes everyone laugh in the face of danger but according to Freakazoid, the dubbing of the show is awesome?Head exploding in 3...2...1... Pshhhhhhh!!!Those completely WTH mind blowing moments of unpredictability is what made the show so funny, the humor so fresh and the fun so intense. Of course that some moments have purpose or reason, the reference jokes, some jokes about what was going on in those years, maybe even the Disney jokes had it's purpose, I don't know, all I know is that I had tons of fun with it and I was very upset when WB TV turned it out of their schedule.So give the show a chance and have yourself an eruption of laughter. You'll thank me later. Or maybe you'll end up being freaked out. Both ends, you'll surely have a ball!

louisa_animaniac "Freakazoid" is perhaps the most under-appreciated comedy series ever! Of course, aiming something like this to a Sunday morning audience of children will doom it from the start. Sadly, it lasted only 24 episodes before getting canned. On the upside, it did win an Emmy for its theme song! That's a good thing! Anyway, there are several types of humor. Slapstick (i.e. "The Three Stooges'), dry and sarcastic (i.e. "Daria"), that old Warner Brotherish humor that I'm still trying to put a name to.... and then there's "What?!?!?!? Why?!?!?" humor that comes out of no where and strikes us as funny because it doesn't make sense and yet it does make sense... does that make sense? Freakazoid is a delightful mixture of this kind of humor, the most obscure movie/historical/cultural references you could possibly imagine, and (lets face it) utter childishness. This is the only show you would be able to hear big-name actors like David Warner behave like a child throwing a tantrum, or hear deadpan Ed Asner say things like "Poo-gas", or even hear the world famous carpenter Norm Abram say something like, "You're and evil man!" All of this is brought to us by the comic genius of Paul Rugg (who not only writes but does the voice of Freakazoid himself because the part was too weird for anyone else to handle) and his partner in crime, John P. McCann. These guys wrote all the good, memorable episodes of the hit series "Animaniacs". I'm not sure if my rant is making much sense, so I'll stop. I cannot recommend "Freakazoid" to you enough. I'll put it this way: If you enjoy humor similar to "The Tick" comic book (the show is much tamer than what I'm talking about), the "Earthworm Jim" video game, or "Space Ghost: Coast to Coast", this is for you! ENJOY!!!

George Haley Who exactly is this cartoon for? While kids probably won't get most of the references and allusions, there's really very little else here that's supposed to be funny or entertaining. Meanwhile, adults are likely to find it forced and derivative. There are also some supporting segments, of which the best is Lord Bravery. The central conceit there is "Basil Fawlty as a superhero," which is somewhat amusing momentarily, until you realize you could actually watch "Fawlty Towers." The other segments, Toby Danger and Lawn Gnomes, are one joke parodies of Gargoyles and Jonny Quest. Freakazoid himself is a pretty shoddy one off of The Mask, except his major shtick is Jerry Lewis. In fact, just about his only shtick is Jerry Lewis, which isn't funny shtick when Jerry Lewis does it. I guess you'd dig this cartoon if you like that little flash of recognition that comes from the realization "Hey! The writers of this cartoon have seen all the same movies I have!" but me, I prefer jokes and stuff. It's not really hard to see why this didn't last. Good for fanboys and other nerds, everyone else should avoid.
