History WMG / Freakazoid

[[WMG: Cosgrove is [[TheSpectacularSpiderMan Uncle Ben.]]]]

* Ah... [[YourHeadAsplode]]

* Freakazoid/Dexter: Creator/AdamSandler and [[SuperBad Christopher]] [[FrightNight Mintz-Plasse]]

[[WMG: [[LostInSpace Professor Jones]] '''was''' [[AdamWesting on a show with a robot]].]]

[[WMG: C.J. is actually The Rock]]

[[WMG: Steph's last name is [[{{batgirl}} Brown]].]]

* Roddy Macstew: DavidTennant

Hey, {{Superman}} and DannyPhantom have cousins (or clones, in Danny's case) for {{Distaff Counterpart}}s, so what's to say Freakazoid can't?

Now ''that'' would be totally surprising, wouldn't it?

** Unlikely. [[MyNameIsNotDurwood Especially because his name is Roddy MacStew]].

...And Edit Tip 15[[hottip:*:Look It Up]] popped up when I went to edit this page. Clearly the Universe approves my pos--[[color:white: The Universe may approve, but I don't. Wait...what are you doing with that red-hot poker? Where did you even get...]]

* ...OH! [[DontExplainTheJoke You mean Candle Jack and]] [[HarryPotter Lord Voldemo]]-- [[color:white: How long did it take you to make that connection, seriously?]]

* The guy who does "Familiar Faces" at ThatGuyWithTheGlasses [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGhYS599xZw would agree with you]].

* Freakazoid/Dexter: AdamSandler and [[SuperBad Christopher]] [[FrightNight Mintz-Plasse]]

Explains the fact that he's almost always seen as Freakazoid. Freakazoid represents freedom from being Dexter. He's basically the inverse of [[Film/TheMask Stanley Ipkiss]], who in the movie learns AnAesop about standing up for, and being, himself. Dexter may decide ''not'' to throw the mask away, becoming Freakazoid all the time, essentially [[DownerEnding suiciding the Dexter persona.]] Of course, it's possible that he'll stop short of ''that'', and be more like {{Batman}}, using Dexter as a mask for Freakazoid, but still retaining him.

*** WordOfGod is that Freakazoid was originally going to be a show about the Creeper, but there were issues (copyrights, the name "the Creeper" for a kid's hero, wondering how much they'd have to stick to the established guy, ect.) and they changed it. Look at Creeper in his BatmanTheAnimatedSeries episode. He's like Freakazoid, only less sane and more "newscaster" than "internet" oriented.

* The ghosts from the original ''Film/HouseOnHauntedHill''. After all, they were supposed to be coming for him.

* I think this also applies to JeffBennett when he was the announcer in the Kids' WB! promo spots. He mentioned that ghost by name several times and never got kidnapped.
** That's because JeffBennett is the ghost! He can't kidnap himself. Clearly, being the announcer in the Kids' WB! promo was all an elaborate ploy to trick people into thinking saying that name would do nothing. No doubt that the Warners and the bus charter company were in on it, too.

*** [[DidNotDoTheResearch Clearly you've never read anything with the Creeper in it.]]

* The guy who does "Familiar Faces" at ThatGuyWithTheGlasses would agree with you.

The villain was originally going to be an entirely different character, but everyone kept making the mistake of saying [[CandleJack his]] name. With the loss of their main character and his love interest halfway through filming the show, all they could do was film the rest using stunt doubles. Everything from the rope-with-hinges onward, including the staging of the trap, was obviously the producers' way of finishing up an episode to fill the next deadline while finding lookalike [[TheOtherDarrin replacement actors]]. The actors in the first scenes of the episode were never heard from again, and that's why tropers still disappear when they say... [[CurseCutShort Oh, fu-]] [[color:white: You never learn do you?]]\\

* Come to think about it, what reason Dexter have not to be Freakazoid?

Same producers, same studio, similar art style. He could've been part of ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'', but they require a base level of sanity.

It may not have been a simple speech slipup, he may very well have a score to settle with someone or something in Cleveland. He corrected himself because he dosen't want anyone the wiser.

When Dexter gained the ability to turn into Freakazoid, he necessarily became insane. It's one thing to be a transforming superhero, but when your superpowered persona carves out an actual, physiological residence in your brain, then you qualify as having both multiple personalities ''and'' schizophrenia. (From the Greek, ''schizophrenia'' means "split mind.") [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqMfld138bM#t=8m40s Even Freakazoid himself has schizoid tendencies.]]

How else would he be so swift to swoop in on us in mid-sentence? On the episode he stars in he gets some much more delayed reactions, taking most of the episode to catch up to the narrator for instance. He obviously hangs out here at TvTropes quite a lot. He's [[{{OneOfUs}} One Of U-]] [[color:white: Pig latin doesn't work on me.]]\\

[[WMG:CandleJack's main weakness is dealing with anyone who refuses to go along with the joke.]]

** If a deliberate Sense of Humour Failure doesn't work, try violence. Right ''CandleJack''?

Spider-Man is a XanatosGambit. Uncle Ben faked his death to inspire Peter, and left New York so Peter wouldn't know. He stays with Freakazoid to do more good than he ever could as a parent to Peter.
