It follows the adventures of Freakazoid, an entity created by the addition of [[Hilarious in Hindsight|all the information on the Internet.]] <ref>This was back in 1995, so his head probably didn't explode thanks to the fact that hentai and [[Widget Series|Widgets]] hadn't become synonymous with Japan yet. He probably just went insane from all the Usenet groups.</ref> to a mild-mannered computer nerd, along with weird energy-based powers and a goofy sense of humor.

Almost every adventure, Freakazoid would encounter his deadpan policeman buddy, Sgt. Mike Cosgrove, who would offer to take him to some unrelated event or activity ("Hey, Freakazoid! Wanna go out for a mint?" "DO I!") [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|Freak would then drop the adventure, often mid-peril, and go off to someplace fun. He'd resume it shortly thereafter, as if nothing had happened.]]
