MasterMeredith In the 90's superhero cartoons were everywhere, X-Men, Spider-Man, Bat Man, and the list goes on. While those shows were good, they really needed some not-so-serious competitors. Fox jumped on this with "The Tick," which was really amusing, along with Disney's "Darkwing Duck," another great show. When the WB came around, Warner decided to have a new comedic superhero that would put them out of place, and thus "Freakazoid!" came to be. So what exactly is Freakazoid, well he's the alter ego of Dexter Douglas, a nerd whose cat hit a few buttons and sucked him in to the internet. Now whenever Dexter says "Freak out," he turns into Freakazoid. Other characters include Cosgrove, whose monotone voice is great, Steph, Freakazoid's girlfriend, "Fan Boy" which I believe to be a parody of anyone that watches shows like this, and humorous villains out the gamut, such as the maniacal genius the Lobe, the creepy Candle Jack, and the man bull Long Horn. Now the shows humor is unlike any other comedic superhero cartoon, mostly due to being in the style of "Animaniacs," which gave it a nice anthology feel. The parodies are ingenious, such as "Babe" and "Braveheart" combined to "Babeheart" which is all done off camera, which really adds to the imagination. Also the nonsense that just goes on is all good fun. And like many shows at the time there are suggestive jokes in it, more than likely for it's intended audience of teenagers and up. I strongly feel that this is the definitive comedic superhero show of the 90's, although people say "The Tick," which was also good, but was more superhero show. I suggest if you just want humor watch "Freakazoid!" but if you want some superhero action in your funny superhero watch "The Tick."

Marcus Geebs Freakazoid! was a greatly under appreciated show that was cut down do to low ratings and new FCC rules. This show was ahead of what age group it tried to reach out to because of it's strong use of adult contented humor which kids don't get and it's many shots at everything in the world. Heck! It made fun of the pope. Freakazoid! was as off the wall as Animaniacs if not more off the wall. The show had a great use of comedy among culture and even made fun of itself. The characters really made this show a classic as well as great reason to watch because even the villains were hilariously funny along with the heroes and special guests. It's a real shame it only lasted two years and should be brought back where it can hopefully be appreciated more.

mars_central This show was hilarious. The humour was so completely insane unyet clever with it. There are very few shows that can make you laugh just reading the script. Check the quotes link if you don't believe me. The cartoon has the excellent level of animation you'd expect from Warner Brothers and is voiced superbly. I'm not sure why this was aimed at children, the humour is quite adult (not that kind of adult). I imagine the powers that be saw it was a cartoon and scheduled it accordingly. This one is aimed at fan-boys but I think anyone can appreciate it. You'll get a good idea of what the show is about from the other comments, needless to say it parodies everything from super heroes to sci-fi and much more. Bring on the DVD, with plenty of fan-boy extras. This show was awesome.

Jackson Booth-Millard This is another one of Steven Spielberg's breaks from film making and instead creating an annoying but funny superhero cartoon. This computer nerd called Dexter hardly does anything but use the computer. One day, somehow, he is transported into the computer screen and is turned into a superhero named Freakazoid. Basically Freakazoid is an annoying superhero that hardly does anything to help, but he eventually does it in the end. He did get quite frustrating sometimes when he wasn't paying attention or was distracting people, especially the villains. But it was quite funny. It had a good opening theme song as well. Worth watching!
