- Commentary on 3 Key Episodes by Senior Producer Tom Ruegger, Voice of Freakazoid Paul Rugg and Writer John McCann Version: Standard Review: Though the show lasted only two seasons I have always kept a secret wish my insane little mind that this would see the light of day again.
For years I'd make mention of Freakzoid and people would give me that dog smelling a fart look. Somehow during the Tiny Toons and Animaniacs heyday this one was lost in the mayhem.
It's no wonder I loved the show, the guy is straight out insane and unpredictable. Sort of like Deadpool with training wheels.
Looking at the show more than a decade later it hasn't aged as well as I'd have liked. It's a bit on on the topical side so I've had to explain some of the jokes to Henry...which doesn't really help much. But at least he enjoys the loony core of the show.
For people who know this is an easy sale, for those that don't it's a bit tougher. Just imagine what Bugs and Daffy could do if they had super powers and some majo geekz did the writing....see what I'm saying?
Other than that I'll leave you with the theme song and my recommendation to at least check this one out.
Theme Song:
Super-teen extraordinaire
Freakazoid! Freakazoid!
Runs around in underwear
Freakazoid! Freakazoid!
Rescues Washington D.C.
Freakazoid! Freakazoid!
Unless something better's on TV
Freakazoid! Freakazoid!
His brain's overloading
It has a chocolate coating
Textbook case for Sigmund Freud
Freakazoid! Freakazoid!
Check out Dexter Douglas
Nerd computer ace
Went surfing on the internet
And was zapped to cyberspace
He turned into the Freakazoid
He's strong and super-quick
He drives the villains crazy
'Cause he's a lunatic
His home base is the Freakalair
Freakazoid! Fricassee!
Floyd the Barber cuts his hair
Freakazoid! Chimpanzee!
Rides around in the Freakmobile
Freakazoid! Freakazoo!
Hopes to make a movie deal
Freaka me! Freaka you!
He's here to save the nation
So stay tuned to this station
If not, we'll be unemployed
Freakazoid! Freakazoid!
