Freaknik: The Musical: Difference between revisions

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.

 

----

* [[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.

* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: The aliens from the Mothership Connection at the end of the special. Freaknik is implied to be an alien as well.

* [[Big Ball of Violence]]

* [[The Big Guy]]: Big Uzi

** Also heard when Obama steps down as president.

** 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]]

'''Freaknik:''' ''"I'MMA GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE, CUZ!"'' }}

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "It's ''in'' the book!"

** Or maybe Lil' Jon as the Foreboding Old Dude.

* [[Casting Gag]]: Kid N Play at the start of the special referencing their ''[[House Party]]'' movies. {{spoiler|They promptly get killed off five seconds into it.}}

* [[Combined Energy Attack]]: Of love!

* [[Culture Police]]: The Boule, in the interest of remaining in the 10% of rich, influential African Americans.

'''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!"

* [[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.

* [[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.}}

* [[Logic Bomb]]: When the STM arrives in rather bright, sunny, and cheerful New Orleans, Big Uzi states "I thought the Sun never shined in the ghetto..." -- [[Hilarity Ensues|and a gun-totin' gangsta moon quickly solves that problem]].

* [[More Dakka]]: The Perminator's [[Macross Missile Massacre]] in the climax.

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: The Boule consists of preposterous caricatures of Oprah, Bill Cosby, and others. Subverted with Al Sharpton when the news anchor actually uses his name.

* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: Apparently a sufficiently awesome party can turn into a ghost.

** And can apparently also be blown up, stomped, lasered, and somehow, killed. (did anyone else question this?)

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[The Smart Guy]]: Light Skin.

* [[The Stoner]]: Doela man.

* [[This Trope Is Bleep]]: Variant; the TV cut plays all the curse words backwards.

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Freaknik seems to be able to do this on near Impossible Man levels.

* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: Trap Jesus just happens to actually be Jesus. He even has his own Ghetto Ten Commandments.

* [[We Can Rebuild Him]]: The Rev. Al Sharpton {{spoiler|or the Perminator, as he calls himself later}} after he gets electrocuted.

* [[Wild Teen Party]]: The Sweet Tea Mob stop off at Frat House during their journey. This is pretty much Freaknik in general.
