Editing Freakazoid! (section)

==Humor==
The humor in ''Freakazoid!'' relied heavily on [[slapstick]], [[parody]], and pop culture references. Due to the series being [[metafiction]], much of the series was self-aware humor (i.e. [[Fourth wall|breaking the fourth wall]]); for instance, after the first appearance of the Freakmobile, the show goes immediately into an impromptu commercial for a toy version, and later in the episode, Freakazoid addresses an audience, congratulating the staff on how hard they have worked to make the show [[toyetic]]. A running gag involves a repeated credit for "Weena Mercator as the Hopping Woman", though no such character appears in any episode. The show also incorporated humor aimed at the [[The WB|WB Network]], such as questioning the meaning of the initials "WB".

''Freakazoid!'' made frequent use of [[stock footage]], including a peaceful scene of a field of flowers ("Relax-O-Vision"), numerous people screaming and traditionally dressed [[Bavaria]]ns dancing and slapping each other ("Candle Jack"), and a [[Frank Richards (performer)|man being shot in the belly with a cannonball]] and a man wrestling a bear ("The Chip").

[[Cameo appearance]]s were also a major element of the show's humor. At various times, ''Freakazoid!'' hosted appearances by characters from other Warner Bros. shows such as ''[[Pinky and the Brain]]'', ''[[Animaniacs]]'' and even an insinuation appearance of [[Batman]] from Bruce Timm's [[Batman: The Animated Series|animated version]]. Portrayals of many celebrities (including producer [[Steven Spielberg]]) and guest appearances by such figures as [[Jack Valenti]], [[Leonard Maltin]] and [[Mark Hamill]] as themselves were also commonplace. [[Norm Abram]] had an entire episode, "Normadeus", built around him. One original character, a bizarre-looking man named Emmitt Nervend, plays no role whatsoever other than enabling a ''[[Where's Wally?|Where's Waldo]]''-esque hunt for his cameos (complete with the number of his appearances announced in the closing credits).

One of the show's longest cameo appearances was in the episode "The Freakazoid", where Freakazoid, Wakko from ''[[Animaniacs]]'', and the Brain from ''[[Pinky and the Brain]]'' argue over which of their shows is [[Steven Spielberg]]'s favorite, with Freakazoid arguing that his show was the favorite (''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' was not represented in the discussion as it was on [[Nickelodeon]] at the time, while the others were on [[Kids' WB]]). When the trio confront Spielberg over the issue, he admits to having no idea who they are.
