Saying a show like Freakazoid is funny is like saying the sky is blue, or that water is wet. Comedy is built into the very purpose, the very being, the very nature of this hilarious series.
    open/close all folders 

    Season 1 
  • From the first episode "Dance of Doom", Freakazoid's epic, ad-libbed rant to Jeepers when the latter tries to show him a magic watch that turns beavers into gold. Perfectly sets the tone for the whole show.
    Jeepers: Eheheheheheh! Would you like to see something strange and mystical...?
    Freakazoid: NO!!! GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT WATCH! LAY OFF THE POOR BEAVERS, WILL YA?! SHEESH! YOU’RE A CREEP! GO AWAY! WE WERE HAVING A GOOD TIME UNTIL YOU SHOWED UP, JEEPERS! URGH! GO HAVE SOME COFFEE, WITH CREAM, OR SOMETHING! BECAUSE I’LL TELL YOU SOMETHING; THIS IS A HAPPY PLACE!
    • The "Dance of Doom" title continuing to melt between scenes until it becomes a drippy and unreadable mess.
    • The narrator teasing at the beginning that Batman's going to save the day, only for the narrator to point out Batman is "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 five-year exclusivity contract). Even the criminal he's busy beating up looks annoyed at this.
    • This exchange between Dexter and his mother. The fact that she, as always, is grinning ear to ear and delivers her lines in a serenely happy tone absolutely seals it.
      Mom: You spend far too much time with your computer. It's not healthy!
      Dexter: It's my life...
      Mom: That's so very, very sad.
    • "Low bridge, everybody down! Low bridge, Cave Guy's underwear is brown!"
    • "That was shallow, cheap, and based solely on hormones....WORKS FOR ME!"
  • Everything about Handman.
  • As well as the entire Candle Jack episode. I'm flattered.
    • SCREAM
    • The moment where Freakazoid willingly invites capture just because he's always wanted to invoke a Gilligan Cut. Was this show ahead of its time or what?
    • After That Guy With The Candle has captured the whole scout group.
      Steff: "What are you going do with us?"
      CJ: I don't know. I never gotten so many at once before. Not a very bright group, aren't you?"
      Steff: What do you mean with that?
      CJ: Oh... Nothing.
    • Before that, when pretty much the entire cabin shouts his name, he turns to the camera with a big grin and says "I'm gonna need more rope."
    • The scene where the German doctor tries to explain to the audience that saying That Guy With The Candle's name won't make him come after you in real life, only for him to get captured, too.
    • 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.
    • Why does he capture people who say his name? It's because he's a nut.
  • From the Toby Danger short:
    "Dash" O' Pepper: Just let me Throw a Barrel at It!
    • When they investigate the lab where the Semiconductor was activated.
      Toby Danger: What's a saboteur? (Dr. Danger shows an image of the saboteur)
      (everyone gasps)
      "Dash" O'Pepper: I knew it! It's some guy in a helmet!
    • "AIEEE!"
    • Dash's fight with Dr. Sin with deliberately Limited Animation.
    • Dash's swan dive into the pool deck.
  • "Great, my one bit in this scene and I get upstaged by a mallet."
  • At the end of Mo-Ron's debut episode, he finally remembers the message he was supposed to deliver; A comet's going to hit the area! As everyone else panics and flees...
    Freakazoid: Now he tells us!
  • "What exactly is The WB? Can someone tell me this? What's it mean, The WB? The Water Bucket? The Wimpy Boy? The Wet Bananas?! I don't know!! What, the Weird Butt?! What? I'm asking!!"
    [Beat] "...This has been a special report from the Weird Butt network."
  • "That's Uranus!"
  • In “And Fanboy Is His Name”, Freakazoid is getting drunk off fruit juice after the loss of another sidekick:
    Freakazoid (sullen) : To Expendable Boy, We Hardly Knew Ye.
    (Sound of ringing from cash register increasing in pitch and frequency. Pan to the bartender going to town on the cash register)
    Freakazoid (flatly, irritated): Hey, Mike! Will ya cut that OUT?
    "Mike": Sorry, Mac, I'm givin' angels their wings!
    • Not to mention Fanboy making his debut during that scene.
      Freakazoid: If I want to drink myself into papaya-induced hallucinations, that's my business!
      [the camera pans out, revealing that Fanboy is suddenly standing next to Freakazoid]
      Fanboy: HELLO!
      Freakazoid: [does a ridiculously long Spit Take in surprise - as in, a full 20 seconds]
    • "Camera Guy, zip pan to the next scene! NOOOO! THE OTHER SCENE! AM I WORKING ALONE HEREEEEE?!"
    • Freakazoid's conversation with his inner child, which was obviously improvised.
      Freakazoid: You know, I think this might be the perfect time to have a conversation with my inner child.
      Freakazoid: (Thinking) Billy? Billy?
      Billy: H-hello. I-I've grown quite large.
      Freakazoid: (Thinking) I brought you shorts.
      Billy: Good. I-I can't come out because of my girth.
      Freakazoid: (Thinking) I brought you a diet book as well.
      Billy: (Corpsing) Okay, I think we've gone as far as we can go.
  • Freakazoid! (In Stereo ... Where Available)
    Narrator: "Freakazoid!", in stereo where available. And where not available, it's not in stereo. There's nothing we can do about that, so don't blame us. We have no control over it. Call your cable company if there's some sort of problem, or the local broadcaster, but if THEY aren't giving you stereo and YOU want stereo, that's your problem, NOT ours, DON'T BUG US!!! Blame your congressman, or NEWT GINGRICH, LIKE I'M SURE HE'D CARE!!!!!!! HA!!!!!!!!! BUT, WE don't want to get any letters, UNDERSTAND?!?!?! GOOD.
  • In “Foamy the Freakadog”, after Freakazoid gives a dog catcher a 'ticket'... "Oh no... please! Not Jerry Springer!"
  • The Lord Bravery segments also have some funny ones. Such as the bit where Lord Bravery finds he can't use his name (Someone else has the copyright), and the bureaucrat he's talking to keeps suggesting inane ones like 'Smoked Meats and Fishes' and 'Taste Of Tempura'.
    Lord Bravery: But what kind of superhero would call himself 'Lord Smoked-Meats-And-Fishes'?
    Mr. Snarzetti: One who wishes to use the element of surprise. (winks)
    Lord Bravery: ...You're a loon, aren't you? Right, where have you escaped from? I'll take you back!
    • At one point, he suggests DreamWorks and Bravery actually considers it, but it's taken by someone else before he can choose.
  • "This station is conducting a test of the Emergency Broadcasting System. This is only a test. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...."
  • The end of "Conversational Norwegian", at which point the announcer speaks as if he's going down with the ship.
  • From “The Chip” 2-parter; one simple line: "We interrupt this program to increase dramatic tension. Thank you. And now back to our program."
    • All of the Jack Valenti scenes.
      "Hello, I'm Jack Valenti. And these are my cheeks."
    • Jack reminding Freakazoid of what he needs to do ("Find Gutierrez!").
    • He interrupts the first part twice to explain his movie ratings system. Freakazoid comes along and tells him the next scene is ready and he'll have to wait, much to Jack's annoyance.
    • One of the first things Freakazoid does upon...coming into being, is zoom all the way to Tibet where a monk is raking the ground.
      Freakazoid: WILL YOU PLEASE STOP THAT INFERNAL RAKING?! IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY, SHEESH!!
    • And in part II, just before defeating Gutierrez, Freakazoid zips back to that same monk to apologize.
      Monk: It is all right, my son. Forget about it.
    • Roddy having to think of an excuse to enter the Douglas home after having tracked the source of the Pinnacle Chip’s flaw being activated there.
      Mrs. Douglas: Well, Merry Christmas, stranger!
      Roddy: Aye, thank you, Ma’am, and you. Perchance, is there a computer user living about this abode?
      Mrs. Douglas: Oh, you mean Dexter?
      Roddy: Aye, that’s it. Dexter. Is he available?
      Mrs. Douglas: And you are…?
      Roddy: Oh, I’m his um… (thinking to himself, panicking) What should I say?! I can’t think! She’ll never buy it! CRUD! CRUUUUUD! (speaking calmly) I’m his Insurance Agent.
      Mrs. Douglas: But he’s only 17.
      Roddy: (thinking) CRUD! I BLEW IT, I BLEW IT! (speaking) Oh no, I meant I’m his, uh, his uh, driving instructor! It’s time for his lesson.
      Mrs. Douglas: On Christmas Day?
      Roddy: He’s a very bad driver.
    • The animal psychologist interrogating Mr. Chubbikins about how he activated the flaw:
      Guitierrez: Ask the kitty how how he activated the flaw.
      Animal Psychologist: Meow, meow, meow?
      Mr. Chubbikins: Mrrow... mrrow...
      Animal Psychologist: Meow?
      Mr. Chubbikins: Mrrow... mrrow...
      Animal Psychologist: (to Gutierrez) He says he's very sad.
      Guitierrez: [rolls his eyes in frustration] Oh, go away!
    • Guitierrez torturing Dexter's family with The Best of Marty Ingels.
      Roddy: What kind of sadistic creature are you?!
    • In part II, how Freakazoid ultimately decides to become a superhero.
      Cosgrove: You know what you should do with your powers?
      Freakazoid: What?
      Cosgrove: I’d become a superhero. But that’s me.
      Freakazoid: Naaaaah.
      Cosgrove: You could fight crime.
      Freakazoid: Naaaah...
      Cosgrove: Uphold the truth.
      Freakazoid: Naaaah...
      Cosgrove: Impress the ladies...
      Freakazoid: OKAY! I’LL DO IT!
  • Towards the end of the first act of "Freakazoid is History!", Freakazoid saves Air Force One, only to then immediately get swallowed up by a vortex that gets spawned from the lightning storm he's in.note  The start of act two?
    Freakazoid: (while still in the vortex) Welcome back to the show, I'm still falling!
  • Cosgrove pretty much defines The Comically Serious. "Hey Freakazoid, wanna go watch a bear ride a motorcycle?" This and its variants delivered as nonchalant as possible.
  • Anytime the white-haired man—an Expy of real-life broadcaster Paul Harvey—appears to tell what happens next or the origins of something.
    "And now you know...the rest of the [whatever thing he was talking about]... [Beat] ...Good day."
  • Another simple line: "We interrupt this program to bring you a very special message. I love you. And now back to our program."
    • In general, every time the announcer interrupts the program, he says something absolutely hilarious. A personal favorite is "I am actually a deep-voiced woman."
  • The Freakmobile scene from “Hot Rods from Heck!”.
    "How toyetic can you get?"
    • From the same scene, we see that Freakazoid has a whole garage full of Freakmobiles, and is choosing which one to take.
      Freakazoid: That one! ‘Cause it runs!
  • The entirety of "Relax-o-Vision," really just starting with the concept and every time it's used.
    • Ben Stein as H.A. Futterman delivering some of the most ridiculous lines a man can be asked to read in his usual deadpan delivery.
    • The way he says "Two!" when ordering frozen bananas for him and Stef. There's just something delightfully funny about Freakazoid briefly acting normal.
    • Freakazoid briefly slipping into Paul Rugg's trademark Jerry Lewis impression.
      Freakazoid: "OH! LISTEN TO DA BIG-HEADED MAN SAY EVIL THINGS!!"
    • Freakazoid's Battle Cry: "AH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!"
    • Freakazoid commenting that the studio blew the season's entire animation budget on a fight scene that was Relax-o-Visioned out.
    • And finally, Freakazoid beating up Futterman for using it to censor his Big Damn Kiss with Steff at the end.
  • Pretty much the entirety of the "Fatman and Boy Blubber" sketch, especially the part where they spoof Batman and Robin shaking hands by having Boy Blubber try to pull Fatman out of the tire swing and what Fatman says after Louis' bullies get away.
    Fatman: If either of you ever again ridicule an overweight person, I will personally sit on you!
    • Right afterwards, Fatman and Boy Blubber immediately collapse out of exhaustion.
      Fatman: I've got a stitch in my side and I've lost my freshness...
  • From “In Arms Way”: Sorry madam, that was my pager. I had it set to "vibrate my bottom"!
    • The entire Running Gag of Arms Akimbo selling "Oops Insurance", which pretty much boils down to Arms breaking random things while responding in a deadpan tone "Oops."
      • (Stock footage of a building being demolished is shown) "Oops..."
    • Freakazoid, Cave Guy and Arms Akimbo arguing over a play in baseball, while Huntsman (the umpire) curses himself for looking away to get some berry water.
      "Darn the luck! DARN!" [hits self]
    • From earlier in that same episode, Freakazoid and The Lobe crossing paths while Christmas shopping.
      Freakazoid: Lobe? I thought you were terrorizing Europe with some kind of Cheese Ray!
      Lobe: I was. But when the holidays roll around, I come home to terrorize the ones I love.
      Freakazoid: Who you shopping for? Anyone I know?
      Lobe: (blushes) Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe I won't tell you.
      (Beat as they smile at each other)
      Freakazoid: (excitedly as he and Lobe dig through each other's stuff) What'd you get me?
      Lobe: (equally excited) Show me first!
      Freakazoid: No you show me!
      Lobe: No, you!
  • "The Cloud" has a Running Gag of Freakazoid and other characters lamenting the closure of various Disneyland rides, starting with Freakazoid enthusiastically comparing the gondola lift he's on to Skyway before getting deflated by Hans's comment that both it and "ze ride vere they shrink you down, tiny" ("Adventures thru Inner Space") are "nicht." Freakazoid says that at least they still have the Motor Boat Cruise. Hanz, who doesn't have the heart to tell him, just turns and awkwardly bites his lip.
    Freakazoid: NOOOOOOOO! NOT THE BOATS!
    • 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.
    • This exchange.
      Hans: We mustn't linger. It's dangerous out here at night.
      Freakazoid: It's day.
      Hans: Then I suppose we can linger for a moment. (Beat) Okay, let's go.
      Freakazoid: (does the "cuckoo" geature)
      Hans: I saw that!
    • Later, as Prof. Heiney 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.
    • When the Cloud appears on the mountain and goes after the guy Freakazoid met on the train earlier, one of Heiney's lab assistants interrupts to inform everyone she just got a phone call about the boat ride at Disneyland being gone.
  • Freakazoid pointing out the show's inconsistent lip-sync animation in “Sewer or Later”.
    Freakazoid: "Oy, let's watch the lip sync, okay??"
    (Cut to a giant pair of lips sinking into the ocean with the orchestra playing "Blow The Man Down")
    Freakazoid (saluting): "A-thank yew!"
    • The creepy old lady who can only communicate by making creepy sound effects. At one point the narrator simply tells her to "Stop that and go away." When she gets attacked by one of Cobra Queen's giant snakes, the Narrator screams at her to run, and then is happy she got away.
      • Later, when the police are questioning her about what happened, she just makes more spooky noises before leaving in a huff after the policemen insult her.
    • Cosgrove is telling Freakazoid that he needs to go into the sewers to chase down Cobra Queen, but Freakazoid absolutely won't do it because they smell like poo gas. Then an immediate Gilligan Cut to the sewers where ... Freakazoid is not present. Then another cut to his apartment where he's watching TV and says "See? I said I wouldn't go."
    • The tongue twister scene. And Freakazoid just sums it up perfectly afterward.
  • In “Nerdator”, an alien is abducting nerds. Cut to an episode of The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder, where Tom is talking (and talking and talking) and not letting his guest, the Pope, get a word in edgewise. As Tom is beamed by the alien, we see the Pope smiling and clasping his hands in a praying gesture.
  • "A BOWL! I FOUND A BOWL! GOOD FOR ME!"

    Season 2 
  • The running gags of two clips repeatedly being randomly cut back to in "Dexter's Date."
    Mrs. Douglas: "Have a good time, now!"
    The Lobe's Goon: "That is one happy man."
  • Sgt. Cosgrove has the power to stop most crooks in their tracks with four simple words: "Hey! Cut it out."
  • In the episode "The Freakazoid", Freakazoid learns that according to the "Superhero Code Book", he must grant every request asked of him on his birthday, and as a result, can't stop the Lobe's latest crime spree since Lobe requested that Freakazoid would leave him alone. Finally, Freakazoid rips up the code book in a fit of frustration, throwing the scraps into the wind, except for one lone scrap that keeps flying back to him. And it's when he finally reads what's on said scrapnote , we get this little gem:
    Freakazoid: I KNEW IT!
    NO HE DIDN’T
    • This exchange. Ed Asner manages to carry the entire scene with a grand total of four lines and his usual deadpan delivery.
    • Or how about when Brain, Wakko, and Freakazoid started arguing over who Spielberg likes the best:
      (cut shot to office) Spielberg: Who are you people?
  • In “Mission: Freakazoid”, after Cosgrove accidentally blurts out that Freakazoid is Dexter in front of Steff (which gets Freakazoid upset), they start doing introductions for his new butler.
    Freakazoid: And you all know me, I'm Freakazoid... OR YOU COULD JUST CALL ME BY MY SECRET IDENTITY OF DEXTER DOUGLAS!
    • The entire exchange when Cosgrove accidentally lets it slip is hilarious.
      Cosgrove: Hey, Freakazoid... We're going to rescue your family, right? I mean, it's not like anyone here doesn't know you're Dexter Douglas.
      Steff: You're Dexter Douglas?! Dexter "Creepy" Douglas is Freakazoid?
      Freakazoid: (face palms) COSGROVE!
      Cosgrove: Sorry, kid. I thought Steff knew. I mean, she's your girlfriend, and all...
      Freakazoid: I trusted you, and you just blurted it out! You should've checked with me first!
      Steff: Too much! I gotta call Val and Jill! (tries to run out of the room)
      Freakazoid: (grabs Steff and pulls her back) You can't tell anyone!
      Steff: How come Cosgrove knows?
      Freakazoid: (Beat) HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO TELL ANYONE!!!
    • The introduction of Professor Jones, and everyone asking him if he was on that show with the robot.
    • After Professor Jones gets upset at Cosgrove's attitude towards him, Freakazoid tries to meddle.
      Jones: He's a brute, he hates me! I try to make things nice and whats my reward?! To be spat upon like an old hound- [the plane is suddenly attacked by anti-aircraft fire] I slave away all this time, never ONCE taking a vacation-
      Freakazoid: [trying desperately to hold the plane together] IT'S YOUR FIRST DAY!!
  • 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 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.
  • The cold open from "Hero Boy":
    Announcer: We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please Stay tuned.
    (crashing noises)
    Freakazoid: LOOK OUT! Quick! Get it back up! HURRY!
    Announcer: We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please Stay tuned.
    Freakazoid: Are we all clear? (sigh) Okay, we're all clear. Alright, hit the red button.
    (button pressing noise)
    Freakazoid: NO, NOT THAT BUTTON!!
    (sounds of alarms, screaming and utter chaos)
    Announcer: And now: Freakazoid!
    • How an Ominous Pipe Organ sounds on Freakazoid:
      All around the mullberry bush
      Guitierrez chased the weenie
      The weenie thought 'twas all in fun
      CRUNCH goes the weenie!
    • This exchange:
      Guitierrez (to Freakazoid on the TV): Why don't you come and see me, Freakazoid? It has been too long since we have exchanged... cordialities face to face.
      Professor Jones: That's not a word!
    • Gasigo. That is all.
      Freakazoid: Hey! I really gotta go!
      Attendant: But we...but we didn't finish our song.
      ''(Cut to the Gasigo attendants riding along with Freakazoid. Singing.)
    • And when Guitierrez steals the Freakamobile to escape at the end of the episode, the attendants are still there, and they're still singing.
    • When Guitierrez tries to affect Freakazoid with kryptonite to no avail because that's Superman's weakness. Then he tries the color yellow but that's the Green Lantern's. Next, he tries water, but that's the Wicked Witch. Finally, he just asks Freakazoid what his weakness is.
      Freakzoid: Weeeeeeell...
      [Gilligan Cut to Freakazoid in a cage]
      Freakazoid: Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! Never show the villain how to trap you in a cage.
      Guitierrez: You probably shouldn't have helped us build it, either.
      Freakazoid: I know! DUMB!
    • It turns out that the episode is a story Fatman is telling to a bunch of kindergartners. He then stops halfway to ask a little girl if he can have her sandwich.
    • Guitierrez makes a clone of Freakazoid to ruin his reputation. Luckily, Cosgrove soon realizes it's a fake, and says as much to a group of reporters. When asked how he could tell...
      Cosgrove: I invited him to go to the Yakov Smirnoff film festival. And he said, “No”.
      Crowd: CLONE!
    • Jocko Prezents: Guitierrez's All-Time Favorite Blupors!
      Freakazoid: It's a plain old duck!
      Guitierrez: No! It's a very special duck, because... there is a guy in it!
    • The fact that the show runners were able to get Ricardo Montalban to read such ridiculous lines as “I AM NOT A WEENIE! YOU ARE THE WEENIE!!!!” and "Hey, chubby boy, where is your donkey? Ahahaha!"
  • When put in a sticky situation in "A Matter Of Love," a close up of Cosgrove's worried face is scored to a chorus singing "What will Cosgrove do? What will Cosgrove do?" ...before he turns to the camera and tells them to cut it out.
    • The "Huggbees" running gag from the same episode. Especially the beginning:
      Narrator: This episode is also dedicated to Mrs. Ashley Huggbees of Fullers Earth, Arizona, because we like saying the word "Huggbees". Go ahead, try it. Huggbees.
      (Cuts to stock footage of a cheering crowd)
      Crowd: Huggbees!
      (Cuts to a blue screen with the word "Huggbees" written on it)
      Narrator: (Bombastically) HUGGBEES!
      (Cuts to stock footage of a moose)
      Moose: Huggbees!
      (Cuts to a model in a bathing suit drifting past the camera)
      Model: (Vacantly) Moose!
  • Pretty much all of "Statuesque", including the interrogation of the monsters.
    Freakzoid: Do you know Vorn the Unspeakable?
    Dracula: Yes. I haven't seen him around, if that's what you're asking.
    Freakazoid: We'll ask the questions around here. Have you seen him around?
    Dracula: No!
    Cosgrove: Have you seen him around?
    Dracula: (angrily) No! (slams door).
    • "All we know about Jeepers is that he's from Venice Beach California. Wait it minute, could it be that simple? Have we overlooked the obvious? Probably."
    • "Hey Man" the hippie busker's song.
  • From "The Island of Dr. Mystico", when Freakazoid is giving orders as to what everyone should do after the plane crashes:
    That Guy With The Candle: Uh, Freakazoid, is there anything I should do?
    Freakazoid: Why don't you stay here and... scare the Professor!
    That Guy With The Candle: Marvelous. (Heads off camera, followed by Professor Jones' screams)
    You people have no idea just how much fun that was.
    • When Freakazoid and the others return to the plane near the episode, he's still chasing Jones around the plane.
    • While they're still on the plane, That Guy With The Candle has a wonderful Large Ham moment: "These peanuts are STALE!"
    • Freakazoid, while piloting a plane no less, antagonizing the Lobe for his own petty amusement:
      Freakazoid: (over the PA system) And out the left [side] is something very special.
      The Lobe: Where? I don't see anything.
      Freakazoid: (outside the window) BOOGABOOGABOOGA!!!
      The Lobe: AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! (vomits)
    • When we first see Freakazoid in that episode, he's in the cockpit, fooling around, chanting, "I'm flying a plane! I'm flying a plane!"
    • The sequence immediately afterward, Cosgrove has to keep warning Freakazoid about things they're about to fly right into, finally culminating in:
      Cosgrove: Brando.
      (Freakazoid swerves wildly to avoid a blimp sized Marlon Brando)
    • “Dat was quite a jolt, Freak!”
    • When Freakazoid takes a bathroom break, he has to walk through the seating area, where we see the villains have all burst into a rendition of "Polly Wolly Doodle". Best part? When they get to the second verse, none of them can remember the lyrics, so they just mumble their way through it before cheerfully finishing with "Polly Wolly Doodle all the day!"
    • The news anchor at the start talking about how all the villains are being extradited to a prison in France.
      News Anchor: With the risk of editorializing, this reporter would like to say 'GOOD RIDDANCE TO YOU THIEVING VULTURES BRED FROM THE BOWELS OF HECK!! Thank you.
