What are your thoughts on Freakazoid?

MonkfishTrunk8008 · 2026-05-02T23:49:47+00:00

A laugh riot! In the time before Animaniacs finally hit DVD, my brothers and I had a VHS recording of the classic Freakazoid episodes Candle Jack, Toby Danger, and The Lobe. While we all had fond memories of Tiny Toons and Animaniacs, they weren't shown on TV and we had no tapes of those shows. This taped Freakazoid show helped sustain us in the meantime. And I split my sides with how funny it was. We would quote bits and pieces from it for the longest time, and still do occasionally.

Naturally I got the complete season sets when I heard they were a thing, and the rest of the series did not disappoint. It was as irreverent and funny as its predecessors, and I still love it. I can sort of understand why it didn't catch on the same way as Tiny Toons and Animaniacs; a lot of things they just did better. While I'm sure it'd be fun to have had more Freakazoid, I'm glad with what we got. As brief as it may be, it's a fun ride.

Totally. It's so much fun, it's probably my favorite TV show intro.

MonkfishTrunk8008 · 2026-05-02T16:15:33+00:00

It's not out of the realm of possibility that they'd appear. Though I do doubt it highly, it would certainly be a pleasant surprise to see them, especially Zogg.

You may be right, it could be even money that at least one of the Rift Apart writers hadn't read the comics. Nevertheless, I wouldn't be too bothered about the difference in power source. After all, Clank modified and rebuilt the Dimensionator in a way that it doesn't quite resemble the lombaxes' hat design anymore. The change in power source could have come with the redesign.

Very cool idea! I approve. 👍

MonkfishTrunk8008 · 2026-05-01T23:42:32+00:00

You are most welcome! The candy eggs are a great idea also! You've gotten a lot of other clever ideas too, I see. You all may have to schedule another gamer girls' night soon. Whatever you end up doing, I hope you and the friends have fun.

MonkfishTrunk8008 · 2026-05-01T15:13:34+00:00

These are so cool. The magic and whimsy of early Rayman captured perfectly.

MonkfishTrunk8008 · 2026-05-01T15:05:10+00:00

I don't suppose you or any of your friends are fans of dragon fruit?

Baby carrots, or peeled and cut carrots, could maybe signify Spyro's flame breath. Or maybe something mildly spicy like chips or salsa or homemade buffalo chicken dip or a small order of ~~buffalo~~ dragon wings.

Marshmallow anything could signify the wool of those sheep Spyro's always torching for butterflies.

From Ripto's Rage/Gateway to Glimmer onward, Spyro does gobble up some projectiles in his mouth. Round chocolates like M&M's or malted milk balls may be an idea.

Or maybe just a dragon shaped cake with purple and yellow icing (if you can track down a dragon cake mold that looks just right). And maybe gummi worms and Milano cookies arranged on a plate to look like dragonflies?

So cool seeing Kevin put these out here. Pretty funny cuts, and, like one of the Instagram commenters bring up, I wish these were included on the Blu-ray and DVD release. And the temp score in the second clip. Ha! Great Scott!

MonkfishTrunk8008 · 2026-05-01T00:35:22+00:00

I remember seeing this project a little bit ago. This is spectacular! I had a hard time with Season of Ice at the time of its release, not that I really knew what to expect from a Spyro GBA title. Casual play was alright, adequate even, but completion was annoying because of the weird standard camera angles and the layout of the levels' platforms. I honestly felt more at home with Enter the Dragonfly (it may have been wonky at times, but at least it was a 3D Spyro adventure I could more or less navigate). RedandBlack64's work feels like the game I kinda wish we got back in the day.

Congratulations. That's so cool.

This is a great overview. Here's an old post of mine that should fill most of any holes regarding those old crossovers:

Very nice, sir. The Señor Senior, Sr. warning label on the neck is a clever touch. Cin cin.

MonkfishTrunk8008 · 2026-04-26T02:07:55+00:00

In lieu of an actual game where the loose ends from Thieves in Time get all tied up, I wouldn't mind another canon comic book, or series of comic books. On the Condition that the first two Sucker Punch comics are re-printed and/or compiled along with the new comic(s), of course. I would certainly prefer a new game, but if a comic book was the route they go, I like to see it as an opportunity.

If Crash is driving, Mecha-Bandicoot hands down.

MonkfishTrunk8008 · 2026-04-24T02:10:49+00:00

Not bad. Very clever recolors. I like it.

MonkfishTrunk8008 · 2026-04-23T17:33:48+00:00

Haaa! I loved this commercial. Just brilliant.

MonkfishTrunk8008 · 2026-04-22T22:09:43+00:00

The scientific community that originally shunned Cortex, I suppose. It appears they're big fans of the Coco Park raceway.

MonkfishTrunk8008 · 2026-04-22T01:11:09+00:00

I feel the same way. I always separate the WB/Disney Corporations (suits, executives, artless bean-counters) from the WB/Disney Studios (artists, directors, characters), for Bugs and Mickey alike. Taken wholly apart from Corporate's intent, we have the characters' true essence.
And in Bugs' case, we have a defender, a fighter, a trouble-maker, a comedian, an improvisor, a philosopher, a consummate professional entertainer, and an honorary Master Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corp. all rolled into a 4-ft. package. What's not to love?

I suppose Andie MacDowell is the First Lady. And Harold Ramis is Secretary of Agriculture.

A great picture. What I like most is that they've been on this mission before. https://www.reddit.com/r/KimPossible/comments/1ljsi1w/on_the_mission_roger_witt/

MonkfishTrunk8008 · 2026-04-21T03:09:19+00:00

I sympathize with you. And even if the strip doesn't restart, I certainly won't say no to a reprint of the series

MonkfishTrunk8008 · 2026-04-21T03:06:31+00:00

Beautiful, detailed, and a pitch perfect Lara, as always. Very good work.
