Channel Awesome do a review of transformers 5 with the blockbuster buster
Channel Awesome Hello it’s me I am a recently subscribed fan and I just want to say that you are incredibly hilarious and I love your content keep up the good work also I’m here in the first 11 minutes of this being uploaded
You should do a top 11 of the best animaniacs songs
I'd like to request Marmaduke starring Owen "Wow" Wilson.
I can't think of a comment.
"Most people your age die. Why don't you?"
I did a literal spit take for that line 😹
greyson breazeale I cried for three minutes; it was so funny!
I read that right as he said it lol
This question goes through my head whenever I see Trump
@@sadlobster1 same happen to me, but With Biden.
Freakazoid, the one show that had the closest idea to what the internet would actually turn out to be. This fact greatly amuses me still.
I don't know I think reboot was pretty close.
Veggie tales predicted memes so...
Dude. He was born from the Internet!
Out of any superhero affected by the internet, Freakazoid is the best example of what the hero would turn into.
Word.
"we really didn't care"
This is the key to success
I Hope He Talks About Frankenstein Jr. & The Impossibles Next!!
Wiler Prime it's kind of also the key to failure
in cringe humor its both
Freakazoid - "How come you never got married?".
Cosgrove - "Because I like meat to much".
Freakazoid - "You could be married and still eat a lot of meat".
Cosgrove - "..... I didn't know that".
God this made me laugh so hard.
Michael Kelly You know, it actually took me a second for that to click lol
That sounds dirty...but it could eadily be a wife wont let you eat steak on weekdays bar joke.
It's really not supposed to be a dirty joke.
That kind of humor is rare these days.
I don't get it
Cosgrove: "I have reason to believe that the Freakazoid currently committing crimes in the city is, in fact, a clone."
Reporter: "How do you know it's a clone."
Cosgrove: "I asked him if he wanted to go to Spomoni Land...and he said no."
Crowd: "CLONE!!!!!"
My boyfriend loves how Cosgrove brilliantly figured that out since Freakazoid is either super polite to Cosgrove if he has to refuse, or totally goes with it.
I thought it was the Yakov Smirnoff Film Festival.
Candlestick Jack the most funniest part.
I thought the joke would be.
Reporter and public: How do you know?
Cosgrove: Cause he's standing right next to me and my wallet is still stuck in my pants. I would've lost the pants by now.
Paul Rugg, the voice actor of Freakazoid, has his own TH-cam channel and it’s the most wholesome thing on the platform.
He’s the guy with the biting chihuahua saying “I pet my dog.”
6:39 "Most people your age die. Why. Won't. You?"
Damn that is straight savage.
Destiny McIntire
Well he does look Roman.
Lord Bravery in a nutshell.
Ohh, Lord Bravery is always super real. That clip Critic showed a bit of...he needs picture of himself doing something heroic, so he gets that little boy to take the shot, only to turn around and find him running away. There are many different things people say in this situation, while raising their fist...but LB's just hit me as something unique and special "I'll find you!....."
Destiny McIntire JESUS FUCK🤣
The show that made me realize that you can get marry and still eat a lot of meat.
Just don't tell your wife about it
Can you not get married and still eat a lot of meat
If you married me you could ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Akacia You had me at hello lol.
Only in select states I believe
I’m actually surprised Freakazoid never got a reboot, or even a live action movie adaption. As a kid this show was so unusual to me, but I loved sitting through it (I was the ONLY kid in class who knew this show existed). I would have LOVED it if they ended up satirizing DC superheroes.
Also, Paul Rugg is cute (that personality and lovable jokester he has in him makes him so cute).
There is talk about it should the animaniacs reboot on hulu does good enough.
The closest we've got is a Teen Titans Go crossover
"Most people your age die. Why. Won't. You??"
Oooff 😤😆
That shit hurt my feelings. "God" damn.
Ooh, you're a LOON, aren't you? Tell me where you escaped from, I'll take you back!
I aspire to be that savage.
+Kikibay _bee
That line from Lord Bravery made me laugh harder than I think it should have, because I sadly can relate. xD
DemonicRemption Its the most brilliant line I've ever heard tbh xD
"Most people your age die. Why. Won't. You?"
Wow, I forgot how dark the humor in this show could get.
Back when cartoons had balls, innuendos like wow chica bow wow, guns and smoking they actually used and jokes like Al Bundy going all out on fat people.
What's interesting is that Freakazoid would definitely have a bigger audience today. The meta, the bizarre, and the random are hallmarks of today's internet experience. Freakazoid could be a mascot of this generation's ironic sense of humor.
This is the only reason I remember what day it is
you and me both buddy
Fly Gibson Its wensday my dudes.
I dressed as Freakazoid for homecoming week. Half the student body had no idea who I was. The other half asked why The Flash had a blue face.
:\

This is why humanity deserves to burn.
+Bluebedo Whoa man! Take it easy.
That is so very sad.
I remember watching and laughing at this show as a kid.
Little did I know..
little did you know what?
@@sollunadonis1995*sigh* if only we knew at the time
"You can be married and eat a lot of meat...?"
"...I didn't know that."
there seems to be a sex innuendo in there...but I just can't find it o_O
Jinhunter Slay It means gay oral sex
"Lex Luthor if he never moved out of his parents basement "
Doug, you're describing Jessie Eisenberg.
OOF INCREASED TO 100
Guilherme Briggs, the brazilian voice actor for Freakazoid, sair he wrote to Paul Rugg about if there was a third season coming, to which Paul replied "I'm sorry, but it seems like WB didn't get the joke"
Oh no, that’s the funniest sad thing I’ve heard in ages!
It actually sounds like a freakazoid script
The idea of a modern day Freakazoid scares me since he was born from the internet.
Masked Hero Lucky He was already powerful back then. If he were here now and was greenlighted by adult swim. Lets just say the titans will clash
Masked Hero Lucky Good god, 4chanMan...
Masked Hero Lucky sooooooooo much rule 34 😂😂
I think if you tried to create Freakazoid now he'd just explode given all the conflicting nonsense on the Internet.
Explode? He would EMBODY all the nonsense on the Internet
"You spend far too much time with your computer
Its my life!
Thats so very very sad!" 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Totally relatable!
Optimus omg that’s where the meme originated
We are all like that. Well, many of us.
Literally me.
"Have a good time now!"
"we need you to do this, and im holding a knife under the table"
*Well that escalated quickly*
I remember a time when Doug Walker didn't have so many high level guests.... he has sure come far.
...and I miss Freakazoid.
they need to bring it back, in an age of meme's and trolls..... Freakazoid isn't the hero the people deserve, but its the hero people need right now !
maybe the "bad" (hurtful) memes will finally die out then, I can't wait for it's possible reboot
Meek Carton4 you say that, but it'd be hard to find a channel to put it on and just people like these who just found things funny, especially when it seems cartoons are now restricted or kinda forced to either appeal only to children or only adults. Inbetween is so rare i am sure i can count them on my fingers
Adult swim ...... ?
ilopominecrafter, Cartoon Network? Their most hightly praised shows, like Adventure Time and Steven Universe, are apealling to both adults and kids. And their most popular show has literaly same appeal as Freakazoid has: superheroes that do random humour instead of being superheroes (but Freakazoid is actually good at it, unlike TTG).
To give you a sense of just how insane this show could get, there was a scene in one episode where Sharon Stone fights Princess Diana (yes, THAT Princess Diana) over who gets to bonk Freakazoid. I am NOT kidding! It is probably one of the most bizarre, uncomfortable, yet hilarious things I've seen in a kids' cartoon.
What episode was that?
Season 1 Episode 3
One of the most underrated and original series of the 90s. I don t get the reference when i was a child but i loved their weirdness
Freakazoid was such a vague memory in the back of my mind, I forgot about it until now. Nostalgia Critic really does remember it so we don't have to. This felt more like an interview than a review, but was interesting. I had no idea that so much of the first season was a rush job.
+ImaNerdANDaGeek
I'm guessing you were a teenager when this came out, because Freakazoid a part of my childhood in the 90s.
No, I was a kid in the 90's too when Freakazoid was on, just been so long since I had heard anything about it. Animaniacs, and other shows I still hear referenced a lot, but not so much Freakazoid.
Yea, but it being a rush job probably made it better because it was so random! I miss Freakazoid!
One of the weirdest one shots on this show had to be the parody of Disney's "Gargoyles" Instead of gargoyles, there were lawn gnomes who basically got themselves cursed in the first place because they were a bunch of jerks and ticked off a viking whose brother just so happened to be a wizard.
I can't tell if you're being serious
TheWe1c0meMatt he is. I have the DVD and that's an actual short
But then they learn their lesson and decide not to trick people anymore.
Starting from next week. XD
From the time that episode first aired, until this very day, there is not a day that goes by that I don't have a laugh at the line "We stole man's fire and hid it in our pockets!" followed by "That was painful and dumb."
glowworm2 That 1 left me mixed and not too happy for some reason beyond that I actually loved everything else.
Freakazoid was the ultimate shitposter.
More like the OG
He was more of a shitbroadcaster
Only he wasn’t trying to hurt anyone, he was just having fun. And trying to get a mint, or maybe build a go-cart, or sometimes even get the girl. “That was stupid, shallow, and based entirely on hormones. Works for me!” ^_^
Well, was. Pop Team Epic is giving it a run for it's money in terms of professional shitposting.
He was a shitposter before shitposting existed. How the fuck do you do that?
I loved Freakazoid! Such a great show one of my favorite episodes was Candlejack. That episo
JAX WHY WOULD YOU SAY CANDLEJACK'S NAME! Dont you kn
JaxBlade Oh Christ, are we seriously doing a CandleJack Threa
Man, it took me a bit to get what you were do
JaxBlade I wonder how many kids these days see the Candlejack meme but don't know what it's really ab

Noooo, you have a good time now!
"He's marching cross the nation so tune in to this station. Or else we'll be unemployed freakazoid."Those lyrics are golden and very true to say to kids at a young age
I thought the lyrics were "He's here to save the nation, so stay tuned to this station. If not, we'll be unemployed, Freakazoid, Freakazoid."
You have to be a special kind of dumb to mess up such a quote, jt always baffles me how people have so little brain power to not remember something correctly and then write it in the comments, cackling to themselves and being proud
My favorite part of the show, would be the one with the old superheroes telling and sharing stories at a cafe. While Freakazoid is serving their meals, he listens as one of them starts talking about the most daring adventure he had.
Normally that would lead to a flashback, but instead it is over in less than 10 seconds.
Freakazoid: "What did you do?"
Old hero: "What could I do? I lit a match. He blew up. End of story."
haha Freakazoid did a superhero cafe before How it should have ended !

So given that Freakazoid got his powers from the internet, does his superpower involve memes?
things that make you go hmmmm
he is the meme
He invented memes.
He's the embodiment of memes.
Honey, that's ALL of his power.
I still quote Freakazoid on a regular basis. Mostly "Most people your age die. Why won't you?"
I use "I found a bowl! Good for me!" when playing video games a lot. And, "You're an evil man!" And, "Don't let me fall into nothingness! I won't be happy there!" although that's hard to find places to squeeze in.

Benjamin Schäfer-Schmidt OF COURSE!
IT BROKE NEW GROUND!!!!
With all kinds of remakes, reboots, and adaptations, I would love Freakazoid making a return.
no. A current adult adaptation of Freakazoid would probably mean lots of racist, sexist, anti-vaccine, ignorant rants along with memes if they really want him to feel like the internet got downloaded into his brain. And I personally wouldn't want him tarnished with some of that stuff. I mean I guess they could avoid the less savory aspects but then why bother with adult swim? Or I guess they could comment on it being bad but then I feel like it would lose some of its surrealism?
If you want that more power to you I guess?
Jerricola
Why would you wish this television torture to return? It sucked.
Who says it needs to be modernized? Not everything needs a hard, dark, and gritty reboot either. All the minds behind it can come back and it can still be very much the same show, if thats not to your taste no one will make you watch it though.
I agree to an extent. I mean if the people who originally did got involved it could basiacly be the same show (if that's the case might as well try airing it on CN) but we've seen old creators come back but not even come close to capturing what it use to be. I'm just torn as it would be nice for it to come back (heck modernization or aiming for an older audince wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing) but I do worry if it did it would be modernized in an unflattering way. But I might just be paranoid.
Its fine to worry, and in some cases a more adult tone can improve a show's comeback, take Samurai Jack for example. But even if it sucks, theres still the original to enjoy, and nothing can take that away.
This is why I look forward to Wednesday’s
i do because of the unexpectables stream.
Of Course!
*IT IS WEDNESDAY MY DUDES*
Me too
oh you too?
Why didn't you get married?
I like meat too much.
Well you can get married and still eat allot of meat.
I had not thought of that.
(This gets funnier as you get older and realize that eating meat was something else entirely)
TBoneTony my gramps lived in Ukraine aka the Soviet Union back then and because he only had the opportunity to eat meat on special events he now eats meat every day in Germany and my grandma who survived the famine is calling us almost every day asking us if we have enough food
Cool story bro. But what does it have to do with the gay joke?
TBoneTony
I do not think that was intended
TBoneTony ph my gosh yea! XD
I really loved this show in my childhood, since we have animaniacs making it's return, i think freakazoid also deserves to come back too.
😱😂
"Ah ha!"
*random Tim Curry reference*
OF COURSE!
Your word has been Curried
Another great guests for a NC episode, funny and interesting.
"Freakazoid: the Most Excellent Shitpost"
To this day I test all prospective friends by saying "Hey Freakazoid, I'm going for a snow cone. Wanna come?" and wait for the appropriate response. Additonally, every time I see a cat I think to myself "Kitty Kitty Kitty!"
When I hear a cat meowing plaintively, I often find myself "translating" his meows (a la the swishy cat-psychologist in "The Chip") with: "He says he's very sad."
In Brazil, Freakzoid has a huge fan base thanks to a stellar voice actor, he somehow made freakazoid even crazier
Imagine if jim carrey voiced freakazoid, that was about it
Thanks Brazil!
Now I *have* to find it somewhere, even if I won't understand the lines. Thanks!

I miss these kind of wacky shows, Freakzoid, Animaniacs, Tiny toons, pinky and the brain
The Red Salamander adventure time. Regular show. Amazing Advendures of gumball. Chowder. Camp lazlo. Not exactly the same (obviously) but similar great in their own right
Boney4000 they aren't quite the same. There was this kind of high energy quick wackiness to these that are just so 90's.
Fair enough. Understood. And it's a Spielberg product which came with a particular brand of insider, tongue in cheek sort of humor. I understand what u mean. Just like to acknowledge there are still great cartoons with distinct humor (though not nearly as many as the 90's era)
That's all only Spielberg cartoons
Devin Short Heh yeah, they had a similar sense of humor, that I feel like I haven't seen replicated
so it's basically if Mel Brooks did a superhero animated kids show
He did that, unfortunately. Look up Spaceballs the cartoon.
I remember watching Freakzoid when I was a kid. Every morning before school, I have a bowl of cereal and my mom would put on Cartoon Network (the old CN) and would watch every episode.
Fun childhood 😁
Eddie Olshefski right there with you Bro! Watched by myself in my bedroom with a bowl of cap'n crunch. Didn't realize it back then, but I was amazed and in love with how different and mature the humor was for a kids show...
Only watched on Saturday morning cartoon block for me though. Never caught syndication...
Old Cartoon Network? Like What A Cartoon? (Sorry, I don't live in the USA, I had a different program in my channel) Freakazoid belongs to What A Cartoon?
C 5 originally it was a Saturday morning cartoon on a Warner brothers channel. I never knew cartoon network picked it up.
Eddie Olshefski Fun childhood indeed.
I'm in the same group as you two. brothers in arms!
I LOVED this show when I was a kid, I'd watch Animaniacs and then eagerly await that week's episode of Freakazoid. Both are GREAT shows in my opinion, and I'm happy to see Freakazoid get more attention.
...in nostalgia critic
Jace Gem for non american viewers animaniacs had too obscure references
I grew up watching this show when ever I could. The moving time slots would explain my memorys of frustration with it being there than not being there. lol
I loved it anyway. One of my all time favorites!
Moving time slots is one of the oldest tricks in the book for a network to kill a show.
I've never actually watched Freakazoid which sounds like my kind of madness
Kinky Collars The Masochist Pony It's glorious. My favorite episode was The Island of Doctor Mysitco with Tim Curry. The best villain was Arms Akimbo.
Pickup Freakazoid. Trust me you will not regret it.
You're missing out, go watch it right now!! XD
give it a watch, for me, surprisingly, the humor still held up.
I saw a few of the episodes growing up and they were generally pretty good. The thing is there were a LOT of good shows on in the 90's for Saturday morning, even without cable we had 3 channels in my area that all aired cartoons at the same time. I tended to watch something else when Freakazoid was on. I only eventually caught a few episodes when it started to air reruns on weekday's after school. One thing you can't argue though is Freakazoid had one of the catchiest opening themes ever.
I have both seasons of this show on DVD.
*_THEY NEED TO BRING IT BACK!!!_*
Jackie McCann remakes always disappoint. I just love it for what it was
Jackie McCann they do!
Jackie McCann I agree also I have my one signed
Smashing Pots
Who says it has to be a remake? They could just as easily treat it as a continuation (ala Futurama) and it'd work because of the show's nature.
Kurt Angerdinger Actually I personally enjoyed DuckTales and think it’s pretty well made.

Never going to happen…unless you sign an agreement between WB and Disney to give the characters equal screen time.
Mmm, or Freakazoid and Deadpool being crossovered by Tim Hardaway on the cover of Pearl Jam's "10" as posed by Bo Derek in a eugoogoly by Derek Zoolander.
Are you mad!? Reality would implode if such meeting occurred!
James Ramirez No, I'd be pretty excited about it. Now, if Marvel X-Men editors from the 90's were transported from the past to be editorial consultants, then I'd be pissed. Unless.. if the cast of Cheers got them drunk like they did to Woody's priest at his wedding, it could actually work.

I sat up and smiled like a goofball when he did that, this episode was amazing
Freakazoid ? LOW BUDGET ? But the animations look silky smooth . Anyways though great video !
If you watch the first season you see they reuse animation to try and pad episodes, like Freakazoid playing the piano or the intros for the other side shows. It saves a minute here and there, and I'd also argue the animation ranges from "BEAUTIFUL" to "meh it's okay".
It’s the curse of Saturday morning. They couldn’t afford to use as good of studios as they did on Animaniacs and Tiny Toons. The quality of animation got worse onward with Pinky Elmyra and the Brain and Histeria. It gets sloppier and the draftsmanship gets clumsier.
@@LeoMidori compared to anime today this cartoon was incredible

@@808INFantry11X can't say who's name?
They SERIOUSLY need to bring this show back and EXACTLY like it was before. No updating, no new animation, and if you have to bring in new actors, make them new characters, unless they can SERIOUSLY do a perfect imitation.
EDIT: I was unintentionally vague when I originally wrote this, so let me clarify: I didn't mean "No new animation", but rather, no needless redesigns or hokey corner-cutting techniques (Looking at you, TTG and the new PPG)
What's the point in bringing it back then? You'd want it to be new so you get a different, yet similar, experience.
The point is to not get it dirty with modern filth
But, but, but.... we have so much New material. Just think about how many times Freakazoid can reference ridiculous tropes from jrpgs or anime? How abridged series are more watchable than the originals on TH-cam? Do you realize how much you need Corporal Cat to come and attempt to stop crime with homemade cat videos and end up accidently taking over the world because people can't stop watching? What about if Freakizoid goes back in time with President Cal and Vice President Stripes, the Jungle Cat to reveal the hideous origination of "The Macaroni Incident" (lampooning Calvin and Hobbes)? Don't you want to know why the Muffin Man doesn't do doughnuts (spoiler, a popular News Comedian revealed his obsession with kitty litter, tuna, and a fur suit, because the Muffin Man believes he's the long lost brother of both Vice President Stripes the Jungle Cat and Corpreal Cat. Wut a twist!!)
Seriously, none of this is about staying true to anything, it's about upending the established notion about how things are done and getting to the next weird, and maybe even funny, gag.
But wouldn't it be... Boring? And kind of outdated? I mean, both geek and internet cultures has changed a lot in last decades.
What this show needs if it's gonna be rebooted is a person who understands both the internet and geeks. And also can see beyond easily forgetable memes and references.
AT Productions Sorry, when I say no new animation, I mean returning to the animation techniques of the original show. I didn't mean no new content, my apologies.
How cool would it have been if we got Freakazoid as a DLC fighter in Injustice 2?
He would drive all the villains crazy.
CWDTrixie Well he is a lunatic, after all.
I didn't know how much I wanted this to be a thing until now.
My favorite line from Ricardo Montalban is"Revenge is best served with Pinto Beans, and muffins." yes a classy fart joke.
My favorite was Just fade it.... Just fade it.
How about when he said, "I am not a weenie! You are the weenie!"?
God I loved this show! It's zany, off-the-wall humor that practically demolished the fourth wall practically shaped my sense of humor! This show while being a beautiful mess behind the scenes actually somehow managed to predict the kind of humor that would become prevalent later with the internet. It's not that hard a stretch to say this show was ahead of it's time.
Goku Black what’s even more incredible is the fact that the internet is the literal origin of freakazoid in the show
Freakazoid, good thing I remembered since my youthful high school student during those old times. And...
M. Bison: OF COURSE!!! lol
北岡黎人 the nc looked like elmer fudd about to get laid after being bonked in the head
A live action freakazoid film would be the perfect competition for Deadpool, too bad WB has it's head so far up it's ass to realize it. Shit they probably forgot that they own the character.
Unfortunately, you're probably right. The WB never appreciated the zany, wacky, wonderfulness that was FREAKAZOID!
It's sad that all we got so far is a crossover with the Teen Titans Go
The following episode of Nostalgia Critic is brought to you be by Mrs. Ashley Huggbees of Fullers Earth, Arizona because we like saying the word "Huggbees" Go ahead, try it. Huggbees.

*HAVE A GOOD TIME NOW*
Watching Rugg and Ruegger tell these stories over loud yelling, slowly growing smiles, and laughter is giving my heart a golden glow. These guys had a blast, and to see 'em doing more and more with it to new audiences is.. well, awesome~
"Please watch or we'll be unemployed, Freakazoid Freakazoid."
I remember loving this show as a kid for the 4th wall obliteration but without a doubt, it was unfortunately over my head at that age. I'm sure even now at 28, I won't get many of the references because it referenced adult jokes from the 90's on back. I didn't hit adulthood until the mid 2000's and wouldn't have paid as much attention to the world around me until only shortly before then. This said, I'd love to go back and watch the episodes because that show was a gem and its silliness played a massive part in my own weird humor, such as the little gags I had when playing with my stuffed animals and even now with my short stories :)
I'm in the same boat. Definitely going to go ahead and give it a rewatch with an older set of eyes. I do know it was far ahead of its time.
For some godforsaken reason, this was on at 6am (right after Caption Planet!) when I was a kid. I loved it so much I would literally stay up all night so I'd be awake to watch it. Did that for a whole summer before my mom made me stop because school.
The fact that this was my absolute favorite show as a small, impressionable child says a lot about who I am today....
So Paul Rugg is the guy from that hilarious "petting my dog"-video...? I had no idea! :O
...I wonder if he still has that dog.
TheBlackSquirrel oh! That's him? That's awesome!
The moment I saw his face I I knew I recognized him from that video lol.
I saw that video and when he said voiceover work I had to look him up. I felt really dumb that I didn't recognize his voice when I learned it was the voice of Freakazoid x'D
Any relation to Paul Rudd, who is Ant Man?
It was really good to see that Street Fighter the Movie reference again. I missed it dearly.
Protect and Servitor Of course!
If this guy got a movie it would have to be casted by Jim Carrey
Wolf Namina I doubt he could bring the energy he could have ten years ago. Too little too late.
@@RogueT-Rex8468 right… I’m probably the biggest fan of Jim Carrey but even I know he’s not what he use to be 😢
Who else is thinking of watching Freakazoid for the first time after this?
Myles Hoglund me
Myles Hoglund please do it’s so under appreciated
Go watch it. You won't regret it.
Is Paul the guy who pets his dog when he wants to relax after a hard day's work?
Jakob he is 😂 pretty sure he shot that video just to the left of where he's sitting here too
OMG I KNEW he looked oddly familiar. Wow. He is the one with that little terror chihuahua.
Yup, my reaction "aaw he didn't bring his dog!"
Freakazoid really was kind of a cartoon series that was ahead of its time. Makes me wonder how it would have fared (and what it would have been like) if it had released in the 2000's when the Internet was seeing a real boom.

Offensive Phenomena 2 thats so very very sad
Actually, come to think of it; why DOES the critic shave his head?
A) I refer you to his norm of the north review, and b)...he had hair?
Because he is basically bald and frankly it looks a bit pathetic when men cling onto the last bits of hair they have rather than shave it.
He lost it from the stress of watching those terrible films if you can even call them that
Male pattern baldness
So he could sell us butt wipes. In fact everything Doug did on youtube all this time was leading to this glorious moment in History. Butt wipes!
Oh hey, it's Candlejack!
Man, I had completely forgotten he was in this! I remember back in the day when
huh, wonder what happened to him.
@@dantosinferneI think that after he said Candlejack he

Wow, this is fucking hilarious, that's what good gay jokes sound like
I wish I could have been alive when this show was airing. It seems hilarious. It's like the Chowder of the 90s.
philly_ sports goodbye for real
Goodbye for real and not for fake?
Goodbye for real and not for fake!
Never too late to watch it
Exactly. I was too young, but I've watched it now, and I love it ^^
I was alive when this show was airing and I loved it as a kid. It was so funny. Feel bad for these teens today cuz they didn't live in the 90s.
It's like the Chowder of the 90s, but funny
YES! FINALLY, YOU'RE REVIEWING THIS!!!
Sorry for caps lock. It was the only way I could express how excited I am for this review.
Guys like that remind me why I love creators. Nice and unbelievably imaginative.
kind of surprised that WB hasn't capitalized on bringing Freakazoid back by making a movie. If done right and put into the hands of the right people WB could give Deadpool a run for his money, not to mention I'm extremely surprised that Freakazoid hasn't been picked up on AdultSwim- there are thousands of fans who would watch it, not to mention this would give an opportunity to give all the kids who grew up watching the cartoon on WB who didn't end up becoming huge fans- like me- a reminder of how good the show was and give it a reason to have more adult humor.
There is some serious wasted potential here.
Adult Swim stopped being the good guys when they shafted Metalocalypse/Brendon Small. I think the days of them sticking their necks out to try anything different/ambitious are all but over. Which really is a damn shame, because Freakazoid could've been a great for the old Adult Swim.
Honestly, a Freakazoid movie would be a great idea. It would fit perfectly with WB new animation division, Warner Animation Group. Maybe something in the vein of The LEGO Batman Movie or Captain Underpants.
We'll meet again~
First freakazoid
Than gravity falls
Helx Khoas Also salad fingers
Then*
both finished with two seasons, both had that song play in the finale (technically in gravity falls' case)
Really crossing my fingers for Megas XLR at some point in the future. When an old cartoon that had spoof parodies of (among many other priceless things) Captain Harlock imagined as if he where a casanova wannabe, and effing' _Bruce Campbell_ staring as the villain-of-the-day in not one, but _two_ episodes, you know it's an old gem worthy of a Nostalgia episode.
My kids loved Megas XLR...and so did I! I thought it was great that they liked it, because that gave me an excuse to watch it too. :-)
What the hell is that sound that Tim Curry makes at 12:05? its frikkin awesome :D
They filmed Tim Curry in the bathroom. That's him after lunch at Taco Bell.
