Line 4:
The special tells the story of the spirit of Freaknik coming back to host the seemingly long-forgotten event that hasn't been done since the 1990s; the whole world rushes to it to join in. Among the participants is a struggling rapper crew who call themselves the Sweet Tea Mob, hoping to make a name for themselves during the event's "Battle of the Trillest". However, an Illuminati group of respected black celebrities known as "The Boule" tries to put a stop to the festivities before they get out of hand.
 
Notable for featuring an [[All-Star Cast]] of rappers, musicians and comedians.

{{tropelist}}
=== ''Freaknik: The Musical'' provides the following tropes: ===
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Trap Jesus practically gives away one of his prized Lamborghinis to the Sweet Tea Mob since he himself states he has plenty to spare. Likewise, Lil Wayne, his voice actor, is an avid collector of the same brand of sports cars.
** Bit of a [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] but there's a scene where Trap Jesus is shown in prison, calling the Sweet Tea Mob from behind a Plexiglass barrier. Lil' Wayne actually ''was'' in prison when the special first aired.
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: Perminator when he goes [[One-Winged Angel]].
* [[Auto-Tune]]: Everything Freaknik says is in autotune. Justified in that [[T-Pain]] (known for using autotune in his songs) provides his voice.
* [[Basement Dweller]]: Virgil roughly, living in the bottom floor of an apartment building. It's also the base of operations of the Sweet Tea Mob.
* [[Big Ball of Violence]]
* [[Big Eater]]: The leader of the Boule [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|(an obvious Oprah Winfrey caricature)]], so much so that she makes monstrous noises during consumption.
* [[The Big Guy]]: Big Uzi
* [[Big "What?"]]: In the beginning with the Foreboding Old Dude, justified in that the voice actor is [[Lil Jon]].
Line 20 ⟶ 21:
** And when Virgil tears the check for [[It Makes Sense in Context|a lifetime supply of money, clothes, and hos]]
* [[But Now I Must Go]]
{{quote| '''Lady:''' ''"Freaknik! My baby needs a daddy!"'' ''(shot of a baby Freaknik crying)''<br />
'''Freaknik:''' ''"I'MMA GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE, CUZ!"'' }}
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "It's ''in'' the book!"
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
* [[Culture Police]]: The Boule, in the interest of remaining in the 10% of rich, influential African Americans.
* [[Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!]]:
{{quote| '''Trap Jesus:''' You think when I was nine, I wanted to trap?<br />
'''Sweet Tea Mob:''' Uh, nope, no...<br />
'''Trap Jesus:''' ''Hell yeah'' I did! I look around this city, see nothing but a gang of fiends on every corner of every block, and all I could think is, what a lucrative business opportunity. And ''now'' look at my swag. I'm the most ''biggest, notorious,'' dope man in the South. I'm a '''''BOSS.''''' }}
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: The Perminator. "Craasshhhhh!"
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
* [[The Face of the Sun]]: Let's just say that smile doesn't last long....
* [[Gondor Calls for Aid]]: The climax of the special. Gondor gets a [[Combined Energy Attack]] out of the deal.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: It's hard to find someone who ''isn't'' well-known in this special. You've got T-Pain, Li'l Wayne, Cee-Lo Green, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, [[Saturday Night Live|Andy Samberg, Bill Hader]], Big Boi (one half of rap group [[OutKast]]), Lil Jon, [[Chappelle's Show|Charlie Murphy]], George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, DJ Pooh, DJ Drama, Mac Maine, Kelis, Affion Crocket, [[Kenan and Kel|Kel Mitchell]], Sophia Fresh, Kid 'N Play, and Young Cash.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: A pastor bursts out with "HALT! This is still a House of GOD!" when a party breaks out in his church, but then adds, with alcohol in hand and a less than subtle smirk, "Please make your way to the All-Purpose Room for the REAL party!".
* [[If I Were a Rich Man]]: The Sweet Tea Mob thinking how their lives will be when they win the Battle of the Trillest.
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: While S.T.M. is in New Orleans, Snoop Dogg's character randomly shoots Big Uzi in the toe of his shoe without actually hitting his foot. However, upon Uzi's complaining that his [[Berserk Button|limited edition shoes are now ruined]], the thug comes back with "You want me to hit'cho FOOT next time?"
* [[Keep the Reward]]: Subverted. {{spoiler|Virgil tears up the prize check at first. Then in [[The Stinger]], you see him and the Sweet Tea Mob trying to tape it together again.}}
Line 58 ⟶ 59:
* [[Properly Paranoid]]: Light Skin carries around a book full of conspiracy theories related to keeping the black man down and swears on it as if it were the Gospel. He turns out to be right about the Boule, not to mention the fact that {{spoiler|the Love Bomb appears in the book as well}}.
* [[Raymanian Limbs]]: Freaknik has white-gloved hands, but no arms.
* [[Re CutRecut]] and [[Better on DVD]]: The DVD version not only has all the swearing intact, but also includes scenes that weren't on Cartoon Network.
* [[Riding the Bomb]]: The old dude from beginning of the special does this to a torpedo that just smoked a joint in the climax. Then he kisses it, perhaps leading to riding the bomb in a different sense.
* [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]]: Crassshhh.
Line 72 ⟶ 73:
* [[We Can Rebuild Him]]: The Rev. Al Sharpton {{spoiler|or the Perminator, as he calls himself later}} after he gets electrocuted.
* [[Where Da White Women At?]]: Light Skin ends up falling for the Caucasian girl in the female troupe STM meets at the gas station.
{{quote| ''"Pink areolas..."''}}
* [[White Gang-Bangers|White Gang Banger]]: Light Skin.
* [[Wild Teen Party]]: The Sweet Tea Mob stop off at Frat House during their journey. This is pretty much Freaknik in general.
* [[You Are What You Hate]]: Light Skin is so... light skinned that he is very easily mistaken for white, but he hates the white people (well, white men) and blames all his problems on them.
** And yet openly admits to being [[Where Da White Women At?|attracted to white women]].
