Synopsis:At last our favorite wacked out animated superhero makes it to DVD! Freakazoid! made its television debut and aired for two seasons some years back and has been missed by the Fearsmag staff ever since. This Daytime Emmy® Award-winning series chronicles the adventures of Freakazoid, a manic, insane superhero who battles a vast array of super villains. Freakazoid is the alter-ego of geeky teen Dexter Douglas, who upon surfing the web one night, is swept into a digital techno-electric smash up that zaps him in the gigabytes and he is transformed from geek to Freakazoid, a smart-mouthing, butt-kicking, mega-voltage superhero.

FREAKAZOID: What can we say that hasn't already been said a thousand times over about this hilarious cartoon superhero other than : OWN IT! Freakazoid was produced by the same folks who gave us Animaniacs and Pinky and The Brain and it is equally frenetic in its fast paced humor. We at Fearsmag would wait with great anticipation to watch it and the other two every saturday.
The comedy of Freakazoid is smartly written and definitely aimed at the older WB looney tunes fans but the craziness of the show will definitely also keep the younger kids entertained.
Given that, this cartoon originally aired in 1995 so if you were too young to understand the comedy then you should be old enough now and find your self doubled over in laughing fits while watching this Marx Brothers paced hilarity.
