Cosgrove begins dating cosmetics queen Mary Beth, ignoring Freakazoid in favor of her. As Freakazoid starts filling the hole that Cosgrove left, he notices Mary Beth revealing herself to be a monster. Now Mary Beth wants to take Freakazoid's essence to maintain her youth, and Cosgrove is forced to decide between his friend and his monster of a girlfriend.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Cosgrove rallies the audience to revive a defeated Freakazoid with their applause. He tells them to throw in some "Huggbees" for good measure.
  • Downer Ending: The episode ends with Cosgrove's girlfriend Mary Beth turning out to be a monster and disintegrating to dust after he breaks up with her.
  • Inherently Funny Words: "HUGGBEES!"
  • Really 700 Years Old: Mary Beth has been keeping herself young and beautiful for millennia by feeding off the essence of superheroes.
  • "Shaggy Frog" Story: Done hilariously.
    "I saw this once on an after-school special. Mary and Sally, best friends! They did absolutely everything together. Then one day, Mary fell in with the wrong crowd. And Mary didn't have time for Sally anymore. Sally would say, 'Wanna go play a game or pretend we're kitties?' and Mary would say 'Uh-uh, I'm in with the wrong crowd.' Sally was so sad she ran home, climbed up a tree and started eating cookies. A ton of cookies. She got huge, HUGE, HUGE, HUGE!...got any cookies, Mike?"
  • The Stinger: Professor Jones still left alone in the theater covered with melon.

Professor Jones: Freakazoid, where are you? Oh, the pain! The pain!
