Dexter Douglas is a mild-mannered teenager who, while logged onto the Internet one Christmas, is thrust into a horrible crash on the information superhighway and transformed into an electrifying superhero. He's average, predictable, the middle of the bell curve and the center of the silent majority, which most consider completely dull and boring; the type of person who just blends into the crowd. However, all this changes when he turns into the Freakazoid, a lightening haired superhero who wears red underwear who uses his new abilities to fight evil and do battle with villains such as the Lobe. That is, unless Cosgrove, his best friend and chief of police, can suggest something better to do. With his many trusted sidekicks, his fabulous Freakalair and his girlfriend Steph by his side, he’s ready to save the day; that is, unless there’s something better on TV.

Character Descriptions

Freakazoid is the hero of our show, the crazy alter-ego of Dexter Douglas. He draws his amazing powers of super speed and strength from cyberspace, which he obtained after an accident involving a Pinnacle Computer Chip. While he does his best to save the day, he’s considered a lunatic and often does the unexpected.

Dexter Douglas is the teenage geek alter-ego of Freakazoid, he’s quiet, mild mannered and a bit of a nerd; though he does keep his other identity a secret. However, when evil rears its ugly head, Dexter will “Freak Out” to become the mighty Freakazoid.

Cosgrove is the chief of police and Freakazoid’s best friend. He’s always on the hand with good advice for our hero and he typically has a neat idea about how to spend the afternoon. While he’s not always useful, he usually does come along to bust the bad guys when Freakazoid managed to defeat the villains.

Steph is both Dexter and Freakazoid’s love interest; she’s considered an attractive character but is romantically interested in Freakazoid, which makes Dexter upset; though it does permit her to be around to help Freakazoid save the day at times.

The Lobe is Freakazoid’s archenemy; he’s always coming up with diabolical schemes that will help him take over the world, though despite his huge brain, he’s always running into Freakazoid’s opposition at every turn.

The Huntsman, formally Marty Feeb, is a super strong, super fast hero who lives in the forest, but will run to the city to fight crime in a jiffy whenever 'The Horn of Urgency' is sounded. Provided it isn't a slow crime day, that is.

Lord Bravery is an up and coming British super hero trying to make his name. Things just never seem to go right for him though.


The Theme song

Super-toon extraordinaire
Freakazoid! Freakazoid!
Runs around in underwear
Freakazoid! Freakazoid!

Rescues Washington D.C.
Freakazoid! Freakazoid!
Unless something better's on TV
Freakazoid! Freakazoid!

His brain's overloading
It has a chocolate coating
Textbook case for Sigmund Freud
Freakazoid! Freakazoid!

Check out Dexter Douglas,
Nerd computer ace.
Went surfing on the internet
And was zapped to cyberspace

He turned into the Freakazoid
He's strong and super-quick
He drives the villains crazy
'Cause he's a lunatic

His home base is the Freakalair
Freakazoid! Fricassee!
Floyd the Barber cuts his hair
Freakazoid! Chimpanzee!

Rides around in the Freakmobile
Freakazoid! Freakazoo!
Hopes to make a movie deal
Freaka me! Freaka you!

He's here to save the nation,
So stay tuned to this station.
If not, we'll be unemployed
Freakazoid! Freakazoid!
Freakazoid!!!

Freakazoid! is Executive Produced by Steven Spielberg.less «

  I'm certain we all remember that in the "Freakazoid and Friends" song, they feature a character called Freakazette who never shows up in any other episode, because the episode they were writing about her never got made. What I'd like to know is just who she really was. There's a theory that she's Steff, which is pretty plausible (though some people base it on the fact that Freakazette is a blonde like Steff, which I don't think really counts as proof since Freakazoid's hair color is different from Dexter's). I myself am also going with the idea that Freakazette is actually a female cousin of Dexter's, though admittedly that's probably 'cause they did that idea in "Danny Phantom". Has anyone here actually been able to get a look at the script written for "Enter: Freakazette"? If so, I'd be grateful if anyone could summarize it (or even better, transcribe it) so that this mystery can be solved. less «

  A bizarre show with bizarre humor and bizarre characters. Nevertheless, those things all mix together for a hilariously insane cartoon. hide « show »

  Freakazoid! was a severely underappreciated show. The problem with it is people are either too dumb to understand any of the jokes or not used to the fast-paced, crazy atmosphere presented in this show. This show works mostly off of its insane humor, brilliant voice actors, and wonderful music. While I am basing my opinion off the first season of the show (having not seen the second), I can honestly say that the characters needed more time to develop. I never really began to care about any of them on an emotional level. With Animaniacs and The Simpsons, that kind of empathy came to me quickly, but in this show, it was a bit more difficult. This show had so much potential to branch out and develop even more, but it was canceled much too quickly to do that. Nevertheless, we get an amazing program that surpasses the quality of most cartoons today. I would have loved to see the creative jokes and the hilarious plotlines carry into modern television, but unfortunately, a show like this is rare. It may have been weird, but that's what made Freakazoid! unique, bold, and different compared to the vast multitude of other programs.

  best cartoon ever hide « show »

  freakazoid is my favorite cartoon, and one of my favorite shows of all time, the show is hilairiously random and completly ahead of its time, i remember watching this show when i was little and loving it and now at 15 i love this show even more, sadly though it was cancelled at only 1 1/2 seasons because it didnt apply to its target audience (young children) which is obviosu because children are stupid and have to have everything explained to them, so please if you havent seen it yet buy the first season on dvd you wont regret it no matter how old you are, this show is a masterpiece

  9.7 Superb

  Review sponsored by Anubis Market. hide « show »

  A short-lived, but hilarious animated series from the people that brought you Animaniacs. The story follows Freakazoid, pretty much the craziest superhero ever invented. He can't fly, so he runs with his arms out in front of him, making whooshing noises. Littered throughout the show are fourth-wall breaks, self-referential humor, obscure pop culture references (The Stockard Channing Show), live-action stock footage (a man wrestling a bear), strange catchphrases (HUGGBEES!!), and plenty of things that went flying over the heads of young children, making it a cult classic.
  
  Sadly, it's not on TV at the moment, but the DVDs are coming soon.

  9.1 Superb

  Gosh, this show brings back so many memories. I just remember eating soup one day and I told my brother that it was on. I can't believe I found it on here and now i keep asking my brother "do u remember that show? a lot of memories for me and my bro hide « show »

  Freakazoid is basically about a teen boy who leads ouble-lives by switching his identity from boy to hero evry so often-in mere seconds. This show, I remember, did not last long. It was wierd, I don't even know what channel it used to be on. hmm? anyway, it was funny watching the Christmas episode, i remember that one the most, i don't know why, and the one where he eneters the restaurant looking for something-it kind of is a Batman replica because the usher looked a little like the butler in Batman, but it was still enjoyable! great, great memories. 90's rule
