The Lobe kidnaps Norm Abram and forces him to build a giant wooden horn to destroy Freakazoid. To make his plot interesting, the Lobe invites Cave Guy, Longhorn, Cobra Queen, Waylon Jeepers, Candle Jack, Invisibo, and Guitierrez to a party where he holds a raffle to determine who gets to use the horn to kill Freakazoid.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Big Damn Heroes: Norm escapes his bonds just in time to stop Guitierrez from blowing into the oversized woodwind instrument, saving Freakazoid.
  • Caught in a Snare: Freakazoid ends up in one of these, followed by being tied up and placed in front of the Lobe Finestra 3000, a wooden weapon that the Lobe forced PBS master carpenter Norm Abram to create which can resonate at specific frequencies to destroy matter, strong enough to kill Freakazoid once it's blown.
  • Grand Finale: The crew knew that they wouldn't be coming back for a third season so they put together this episode. It ended with Freakazoid thanking the audience for watching and the entire cast singing a rendition of Vera Lynne's We'll Meet Again to a full house (and the viewer) at the Hollywood Bowl, complete with fireworks. It's an oddly poignant end to such a wacky show. It was such a special occasion that the producers got every regular and guest actor they could and squeezed them into a tiny booth to record the song before celebrating with pizza.
  • The Knights Who Say "Squee!": Freakazoid’s reaction to meeting Norm Abram.
    Freakazoid: Cosgrove, he's a normal, regular guy just like everyone—NORM ABRAM! I'M TOUCHING NORM ABRAM! I'M HUGGING NORM ABRAM! I'M HOLDING NORM ABRAM ABOVE MY HEAD!
  • Legion of Doom: One of the most notable instances of this, where the episode ends with a brawl against the Lobe, Cave Guy, Longhorn, Candle Jack, Guittierez, and Invisibo.
  • Missing Steps Plan: The Lobe's newest invention is a horn that will allow him to Take Over the World. It just will.
  • Riddle for the Ages: Who killed Sir Jeffry?
  • There Is No Rule Six:
    Freakazoid: One: Norm Abram is gone. Two:...
    Cosgrove: We don't have a two.
  • The Stinger: "YOU'RE AN EVIL MAN!"
  • Thanking the Viewer: At the very end, the entire cast takes the stage of the Hollywood Bowl to sing Vera Lynn's "We'll Meet Again".
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Invisibo is not shown battling Freakazoid and Norm with the other villains during the climax of this episode. He also is absent at the finale.

"YOU'RE AN EVIL MAN!"
