1There's a reason this show became a CultClassic with older people.

3* "[[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench Frenching With Freakazoid]]" (a segment about learning phrases in French). Not to mention that the phrase being taught was "qui a coupé le fromage?"... or "who cut the cheese?"
4* There was also a pretty funny exchange between Freakazoid and Cosgrove.
5-->'''Freakazoid''': "Hey Cosgrove, how come you never got married?"
6-->'''Cosgrove''': "Because I like meat too much."
7-->'''Freakazoid''': "Y'know, you could be married and still eat a lot of meat."
8-->'''Cosgrove''': (beat) "I didn't know that."
9* The scene with Handman and his wife is one of the very few instances where a show got away with an implied sex scene!
10* Freakazoid exclaiming "[[UranusIsShowing That's Uranus!]]" while showing the planet.
11** From the same episode (with Mo-Ron in the segments) the first opening of the episode has many dignitaries congratulating Freakazoid on disarming a nuclear bomb. The two dignitaries, Princess Diana and Creator/SharonStone make subtle hints and advances on Freakazoid only to end up having a CatFight in the end. Also, this diaologue between the two.
12-->'''Princess Diana''': And on behalf of the United Kingdom I want to personally thank you Freakazoid. In a very personal way [[LampshadedDoubleEntendre if you catch my drift]].
13-->'''Sharon Stone''': Yeah! Well cool your jets Princess and wait your turn. He's taken!
14-->'''Freakazoid''': [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe Sharon!]]
15-->'''Princess Diana''': Why you tramp!
16-->'''Sharon Stone''': Who you calling a tramp? [[CurseCutShort You stuck up little-]]
17-->'''Princess Diana''': How dare you!\
18* Both proceed to beat the crap out of each other*
19* From "The Wrath of Gutierrez":
20-->'''Gutierrez''': "If I don't have a phone line lickety-split, I shall squeeze you, and I shall keep on squeezing you until your man juices run dry!"
21-->'''Guard''': "Ew."
22* In "Next Time, Phone Ahead", there is a scene where Freakazoid demonstrates to Mo-Ron (renamed Bo-Ron) that eating carrots gives you X-ray vision. They are looking at the bone structure of their own hands during the scene, but Steff briefly appears in the background before [[PowerPerversionPotential looking worried]] and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere immediately leaving]].
23* From "The Chip", after Dexter receives the Pinnacle chip as a Christmas present:
24-->'''Dexter''': "Can I go put it in?"
25-->'''Mrs. Douglas''': "Okay, hon, but only in your computer."
26* Longhorn's origin story is that he was originally a factory worker who had a surgeon make him into a bull-man to help him avoid the police after a big crime spree. The narrator specifically says he's a human ''steer''. Problem: Steers are ''castrated''. Either the writers or that doctor really buggered that one up.
