Does it matter?
Does anyone have information on the shows creators?
In the episode titles, one of the segments is a mini-feature called "Fatman and Boy Blubber". However, in the show, it's "Fatman and Blubber Boy". Correction?

Like several other cartoons produced by Warner Bros. around the same time (such as Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs), Freakazoid featured a theme song which simultaneously explained the basic premise of the show and provided a good feel for the show's humor.
The opening animation had occasional variations from episode to episode; for instance, sometimes the image of Freakazoid in a cage ("Freakazoo") would be replaced with a kazoo labeled "Free!" ("Free kazoo").
"The computer bug that gives Freakazoid his powers is a reference to the Pentium FDIV bug."
What similarities does the bug that gave him his powers have with that bug? TastemyHouse 21:53, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

While the Madman influence is fairly plausible (and actually recognized by Madman's creator), the Deadpool_(comics) parallels seem somewhat of a stretch. Check out the dates of the two series: Freakazoid! began its run in 1995, and Deadpool's long-running self-titled series, from which much of his 'zany' character development stems, appeared in 1997. The Freakazoid! article seems to imply that Deadpool was a possible influence on Freakazoid!, though, if anything, it was the other way around. If we can find any articles, interviews or otherwise, dealing with this to justify it, that'd be good, but otherwise, it just seems speculatory?-- Totenkreuz 17:09, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

A couple points: to people who "it's not funny anymore, not after 10 times". No offense to anyone, but the joke isn't supposed to be funny to YOU, it's supposed to be funny to the people doing it, and to THEM, it's the first time. Of course it's not going to be funny to YOU. I'm not saying that makes it "OK" or whatever, I'm simply stating that "it isn't funny" isn't really a legitimate criticism. Would it be ok if it WAS funny?
Also, 4chan loves to take credit for everything: rickrolling, fresh prince of bel air, and all your base, are all examples of, get this, things NOT originating from 4chan. It might be known for being on 4chan, but the candlejack internet joke has been around since before 4chan even existed.

I don't think it's correct that Freakazoid's hometown is Washington, DC. Aside from the fact that the streets of DC look quite different from whatever town Freakazoid calls home, none of the major DC landmarks have ever been portrayed in the show to be in the city that Freakazoid calls home. Sure, there's the line "rescues Washington DC" in the theme song, but that doesn't mean he lives there. It's the capital, after all - there's no reason to believe that he needs to live there in order to have a reason to save it.
Can someone provide evidence that Freakazoid and/or Dexter Douglas call Washington home? If not, I'm gonna delete the line. -- Gradient 17:36, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
The original press releases announcing the show indicated that Dexter's accident happened "one snowy morning in Washington D.C." See http://users.california.com/~keeper/FzInfo.txt 68.186.48.252 10:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
The show isn't terribly consistent (naturally - it's Freakazoid), but there's plenty of evidence that he lives in D.C. The Washington Monument is seen at the end of "And Fan Boy Is His Name" and the beginning of "In Arms Way," Lobe takes Steff prisoner at the Smithsonian in "Relax-O-Vision," and Deadpool says she is going to use Freakazoid's identity to take over D.C. in the opening to episode 13 (whereat she teleports to D.C., and Freakazoid casually strolls past and greets her). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.143.205.216 ( talk) 11:20, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm only stopped by being at work and unable to confirm the names 100%, but the entire section refers to the bad guy and events of Mission: Freakazoid episode, not a "bogus" reference Cyckath 05:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Just want to say as an old dude who remembers "Jonny Quest", I loved "Toby Danger". Especially loved Don Messick, the orginal Dr. Quest, voicing "Vernon Danger", as well as Scott Manville an old JQ voicer. The animation was perfect, as was the story-line (seemed just like a Jonny plot), as well as the in-jokes of "throw a barrel at it!"
It could be mentioned that a script for an episode introducing/creating Freakazette had been approved for season 3, but of course the green light for season 3 never came.
Perhaps also mention other villain characters that are presented in the first episode but never given an episode: Eye of Newt (a giant eyeball that somehow resembles Newt Gingrich), Booger Beast (well, it did have a brief segment). And maybe a mention of that skeletal gunfighter villain who appears a few times in the show but is never named.

Adding a music section to this page would make the article more informative. Music was an integral part of this series. I suggest the following:
The music for Freakazoid! was written by supervising composer Richard Stone and his team, consisting of Steve Bernstein, Julie Bernstein, Gordon Goodwin and Tim Kelly. Stone won a Daytime Emmy with lyricist (and senior producer) Tom Ruegger for the main title song in 1996. Julie Bernstein was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Original Song in 1998 for the song "Invisibo" from the episode Freak-a-Panel.

I went ahead and removed the last 3 characters from the section on Candlejack.
RATIONALE:
-It was done tastefully in a manner that preserves the entire meaning of the section as it previously stood.
-It does absolutely nothing at all to detract from the article, except in the eyes of someone who believes that an encyclopedia should be god-awfully boring and unfun at all times and at all costs.
-It explains the joke better by giving an example, instead of just making remarks.
-It will likely prevent real vandalism whereby people chop off the entire fucking article at that point - I chopped 3 characters, it's still readable, and nobody is going to feel the need to do more damage because the joke has already been inserted.
-There is no need for this site to be so mind-bogglingly stuffy, uptight, and boring. It just straight up makes the article better, no matter how old of a joke it is.
I eagerly await some uptight asshole to slap a vandalism tag on my profile.

Look, guys, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. The current '(e.g. "Just who is this Candlejack charac")' is as close as we're going to get to a Candlejack joke.

Where did the name "Kid Carrion" come from? It's never mentioned in the show (as the entry notes). I checked the featurette on the DVD that displays some of the original Bruce Timm model sheets, and while designs for this character are seen, his name is never visible. The only other sources to have picked it up online likely plundered it from Wikipedia's entry.
Is this just a cute name some fan made up, or is there an actual source for it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.143.205.216 ( talk) 11:25, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

I was talking to a friend on Y!M the other day and - quote: "omg I has made the discovery of the century @_@ Emmitt Nervend's name is an anagram! of "mind revetment" @_@ Because you keep your mind on him after you see him.." It actually is true :-/. Is it possible that Spielberg wanted it to be like this? :-| By the way - the mind revetment.. I kept having nightmares with Emmitt after I saw him :D. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MightyMoo ( talk • contribs) 23:34, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that the entire article is cut off mid-sentence during the section on villains. What happened? Did someone just cut out the rest of the article? Is this still more vandalism? MezzoMezzo 03:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Interestingly enough, all in-show instances of Candle Jack kidnapping people would happen after they had finished their sentences. - 66.245.196.119 00:04, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Gutiérrez should be the top villain, since he is Dexter/Freakazoid's arch-enemy, appears in the pilot, and directly relates to the bestowing of powers upon Dexter. I'll make the move after at least a week, if I hear no plausible objections. And saying Candlejack should be first is NOT a plausible obje- 205.201.141.146 20:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm only stopped by being at work and unable to confirm the names 100%, but the entire section refers to the bad guy and events of Mission: Freakazoid episode, not a "bogus" reference Cyckath 05:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Just want to say as an old dude who remembers "Jonny Quest", I loved "Toby Danger". Especially loved Don Messick, the orginal Dr. Quest, voicing "Vernon Danger", as well as Scott Manville an old JQ voicer. The animation was perfect, as was the story-line (seemed just like a Jonny plot), as well as the in-jokes of "throw a barrel at it!"
It could be mentioned that a script for an episode introducing/creating Freakazette had been approved for season 3, but of course the green light for season 3 never came.
Perhaps also mention other villain characters that are presented in the first episode but never given an episode: Eye of Newt (a giant eyeball that somehow resembles Newt Gingrich), Booger Beast (well, it did have a brief segment). And maybe a mention of that skeletal gunfighter villain who appears a few times in the show but is never named.

What about the live-action student film that supposedly had the full endorsment of the show's creator? I don't see any mention of it here.

The only source for the fact the DVDs are coming out is an article on a site that was produced on April 1. Somehow, I don't think April Fools' Day is necessarily the best day to be citing sources from. Is there any OFFICIAL or confirming source on this? Lord Seth ( talk) 05:37, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Lord bravery is not dressed as a Roman soldier. He is dressed as a character Britannia, who is symbolic of the united kingdom (she appears on some coins).

The characters section in this article is too long and specific for a general article about the show; they should be moved to their own article, like the characters in the Simpsons article. Gak Blimby ( talk) 05:55, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
It may or may stand to be mentioned that in the episode 10 "In Arms Way" Freakazoid is called on his pager. The pager is set to "vibrate my but mode" and display's the number 555-0100.

Adding a music section to this page would make the article more informative. Music was an integral part of this series. I suggest the following:
The music for Freakazoid! was written by supervising composer Richard Stone and his team, consisting of Steve Bernstein, Julie Bernstein, Gordon Goodwin and Tim Kelly. Stone won a Daytime Emmy with lyricist (and senior producer) Tom Ruegger for the main title song in 1996. Julie Bernstein was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Original Song in 1998 for the song "Invisibo" from the episode Freak-a-Panel.

I went ahead and removed the last 3 characters from the section on Candlejack.
RATIONALE:
-It was done tastefully in a manner that preserves the entire meaning of the section as it previously stood.
-It does absolutely nothing at all to detract from the article, except in the eyes of someone who believes that an encyclopedia should be god-awfully boring and unfun at all times and at all costs.
-It explains the joke better by giving an example, instead of just making remarks.
-It will likely prevent real vandalism whereby people chop off the entire fucking article at that point - I chopped 3 characters, it's still readable, and nobody is going to feel the need to do more damage because the joke has already been inserted.
-There is no need for this site to be so mind-bogglingly stuffy, uptight, and boring. It just straight up makes the article better, no matter how old of a joke it is.
I eagerly await some uptight asshole to slap a vandalism tag on my profile.

Look, guys, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. The current '(e.g. "Just who is this Candlejack charac")' is as close as we're going to get to a Candlejack joke. Actually interrupting a sentence is a violation of the Manual of Style. We can get kidnapped by Candlejack all we want in Talk pages, userpages, comments, etc, just not in the actual artic-
Does anyone think that the inspiration for Freakazoid came from the song "Freakazoid" from Midnight Star? It may be a stretch but freakazoid is a lady's woman in the show...

Where did the name "Kid Carrion" come from? It's never mentioned in the show (as the entry notes). I checked the featurette on the DVD that displays some of the original Bruce Timm model sheets, and while designs for this character are seen, his name is never visible. The only other sources to have picked it up online likely plundered it from Wikipedia's entry.
Is this just a cute name some fan made up, or is there an actual source for it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.143.205.216 ( talk) 11:25, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
