** The narrator teasing at the beginning that [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Batman]]'s going to save the day, only for the narrator to point out Batman is "[[Creator/FoxKids on another network]]". Batman's silhouette then glares, apparently annoyed at the narrator (since at the time, despite the creation of Kids' WB, Batman was stuck on Fox Kids due to a [[ScrewedByTheLawyers five-year exclusivity contract]]). Even the criminal he's busy beating up looks annoyed at this.

* "The Cloud" has a RunningGag in which Freakazoid and other characters lament the closure of the Motor Boat Cruise at [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland]] (it closed because the budget was needed for Mickey's Toontown). The closures of the Skyway (age, lack of ADA compliance, and an upcoming expensive refurbishment) and Adventures thru Inner Space (replaced by ''Star Tours'') are also mentioned.

* "The Cloud" has a RunningGag in which of Freakazoid and other characters lament lamenting the closure of the Motor Boat Cruise at various [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland]] (it closed because rides, starting with Freakazoid enthusiastically comparing the budget was needed for Mickey's Toontown). The closures of the gondola lift he's on to Skyway (age, lack of ADA compliance, before getting deflated by Hans's comment that both it and an upcoming expensive refurbishment) and Adventures "ze ride vere they shrink you down, tiny" ("Adventures thru Inner Space (replaced by ''Star Tours'') Space") are also mentioned."nicht." Freakazoid says that at least they still have the Motor Boat Cruise. Cue Hanz, who doesn't have the heart to tell him, awkwardly biting his lip.




to:

** Even better, the usual scene transition of Freakazoid's face zooming in an out at the camera now has a look of despair in light of the bad news.
** Later, as Prof. Hiney is explaining the clown phenomenon they're dealing with, Freakazoid randomly bursts into tears, not because people are turning turned into clowns by a mysterious cloud but because he's still sad about the motor boat ride closing down.

** At the beginning of the episode, when all the kids are telling scary stories, all of which involve things turning into wood for some reason. Then Freakazoid scares them all off by saying the scariest thing in the world would be if ''Sinbad got another TV show!'' The kicker is the two kids in bed sounding genuinely terrified by this notion.

* The cold opening from "Virtual Freak" where the announcer tells a story about a building next to a Freakazoid sign. The scene repeats itself and each repeat shows the building in a growing state of despair until [[FromBadToWorse the sign is knocked down by ghost and King Kong is rampaging in the Background.]] The network censor pop in to announce that they have rejected the sequence on the grounds that it is too scary and request that all the scary stuff be taken out, much to the disgruntlement of the announcer who gets into an argument with the censor for taking out all the cool stuff.
** Some of the events going on in the background include a disgruntled couple fighting on the ledge of a building, a giant venus fly trap eating a man in the room below, Count Dracula turing into a bat, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking naughty images being drawn on the Freakazoid sign.]]
