Line 7:
The villain was originally going to be an entirely different character, but everyone kept making the mistake of saying [[Candle Jack|his]] name. With the loss of their main character and his love interest halfway through filming the show, all they could do was film the rest using stunt doubles. Everything from the rope-with-hinges onward, including the staging of the trap, was obviously the producers' way of finishing up an episode to fill the next deadline while finding lookalike [[The Other Darrin|replacement actors]]. The actors in the first scenes of the episode were never heard from again, and that's why tropers still disappear when they say... [[Curse Cut Short|Oh, fu-]] {{color|white| You never learn do you?}}<br />
== Dexter Douglas has a crippling lack of self-esteem, bordering on self-hatred. ==
Explains the fact that he's almost always seen as Freakazoid. Freakazoid represents freedom from being Dexter. He's basically the inverse of [[The Mask (Filmfilm)|Stanley Ipkiss]], who in the movie learns [[An Aesop]] about standing up for, and being, himself. Dexter may decide ''not'' to throw the mask away, becoming Freakazoid all the time, essentially [[Downer Ending|suiciding the Dexter persona.]] Of course, it's possible that he'll stop short of ''that'', and be more like [[Batman]], using Dexter as a mask for Freakazoid, but still retaining him.
* Come to think about it, what reason Dexter have not to be Freakazoid?
 
Line 15:
== Freakazoid and Dexter aren't the same person. ==
Not necessarily even the same species. They have different voices, which isn't all that unusual, but Freakazoid looks much older than Dexter, and they have somewhat different facial structures in the intro. Dexter and the Freakazoid being have an unconscious pact: Dexter gets to be Freakazoid and save people as long as Freakazoid gets to make meta-references and have fun. Had the Freakazoid persona gotten bored, it would have completely taken over Dex's life and become a [[Lawful Stupid Chaotic Stupid|Chaotic Stupid]] villain.
* Freakazoid is [[American Gods (Literature)|the god of the Internet]]!
** You do realize that includes the porn, right?
*** HULA GIRLS!
Line 23:
* That's make sense! Freakazoid is the only one how break the fourth wall and he's already insane!
 
== The [[Animaniacs (Animation)|Warners]] are the only beings with the ability to escape the Ghost Who Needs More Rope. ==
They say his name in the second theme song in episode 1, but nothing ever happens to them. Even Freakazoid was tied up, though he did eventually cut the rope with shards of the fourth wall. The Warners didn't even need to do that.
* I think this also applies to [[Jeff Bennett]] when he was the announcer in the Kids' WB! promo spots. He mentioned that ghost by name several times and never got kidnapped.
Line 38:
** Unlikely. [[My Name Is Not Durwood|Especially because his name is Roddy MacStew]].
 
== Cosgrove is [[The Spectacular Spider -Man|Uncle Ben.]] ==
Uncle Ben [[Batman Gambit|faked his death to inspire Peter, and left New York so Peter wouldn't know]]. He stays with Freakazoid to do more good than he ever could as a parent to Peter.
* Ah... [[Your Head Asplode]]
Line 47:
** Yes.
*** [[Did Not Do the Research|Clearly you've never read anything with the Creeper in it.]]
*** [[Word of God]] is that Freakazoid was originally going to be a show about the Creeper, but there were issues (copyrights, the name "the Creeper" for a kid's hero, wondering how much they'd have to stick to the established guy, ect.) and they changed it. Look at Creeper in his [[Batman: theThe Animated Series]] episode. He's like Freakazoid, only less sane and more "newscaster" than "internet" oriented.
 
== Freakazoid is a latent split personality of Dexter's, warped beyond recognition by the Internet ==
Line 68:
== Freakazette is Dexter's mom. ==
Now ''that'' would be totally surprising, wouldn't it?
* The guy who does "Familiar Faces" at [[That Guy With theThe Glasses]] would agree with you.
 
== Freakazette is Supergirl. ==
Only... Freakasupergirl.
 
== Dexter Douglas is heavily [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]. ==
When Dexter gained the ability to turn into Freakazoid, he necessarily became insane. It's one thing to be a transforming superhero, but when your superpowered persona carves out an actual, physiological residence in your brain, then you qualify as having both multiple personalities ''and'' schizophrenia. (From the Greek, ''schizophrenia'' means "split mind.") [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqMfld138bM#t=8m40s Even Freakazoid himself has schizoid tendencies.]
* since when insanity is bad?
Line 94:
 
== Who really killed Sir Jeffrey. ==
* The ghosts from the original ''[[House On Haunted Hill (Film)|House Onon Haunted Hill]]''. After all, they were supposed to be coming for him.
 
== If there ever was a movie made of the show ==
* Freakazoid/Dexter: [[Adam Sandler]] and [[Superbad|Christopher]] [[Fright Night|Mintz-Plasse]]
* Cosgrove: [[Ed Asner]]
* Steph: [[X -Men: First Class (Film)|Jennifer Lawrence]]
* Roddy Macstew: [[David Tennant]]
* The Lobe: [[Harry Potter (Filmfilm)|Michael Gambon]]
 
== C.J. is actually The Rock ==
