Plot Overview

Once again, Freakazoid is on a quest for the perfect sidekick and the viewer is sent into the bizarre land known as The Sidekick Chronicles, previously occurring in episode 1. While in the Hall of Temporary Freakazoid Sidekicks, Freakazoid reminisces about the day he teamed up with Foamy the Freakadog. In a Flashback, Freakazoid is chasing after a dog catcher in the Freakmobile. He forces the catcher to pull over, letting all of the animals free over a broken tail light. The only dog left in the car in a rabid dog who Freakazoid takes to calling Foamy. The two fail to fight any crime, on the count of Foamy constantly attacking him. The two part ways after Foamy goes to find a firehydrant instead of getting Cosgrove to unchain Freakazoid from a bomb.

In the second Lord Bravery episode, entitled Office Visit, Lord Bravery goes to the hall of records to trademark his name where he is told that a bakery is already using it. Mr. Snarzetti at the hall of records suggests that he change his name to a business name that has gone under, namely "Smoked Meats and Fishes" or "Mr. Tiny's Midget Pony Rides." When Lord Bravery goes to the bake shoppe to convince the owner to change her bakery's name to something else, he's confronted with the task of convincing the proprieter of "Helen's Butcher Shoppe" to change the name of his store first. He's then told that he'd like to call his store "Rudy's Butcher Shoppe," but he can't because of "Rudy's Hardware and Twine." Of course, he won't change his store's name until "Hank's Tires" changes theirs. Eventually it comes down to Bill's World of Paint, who doesn't want to change his name. Ultimately Lord Bravery changes his name to Lord Smoked Meats and Fishes.

The last three bits are Fanboy reciting an ode to Leonard Nimoy, hoping to get his autograph, Freakazoid imitating the emergency broadcast system and Conversational Norwegian with Freakazoid. Freakazoid teaches the viewer how to say "Denne Er Narkval" or "This is the Narwhale", "Hovor Er Narkval" or "Where is the Narwhale?" and "Lykkkelig Liten Narkval" or "Happy little Narwhale."

Fan Boy's Ode to Leonard Nimoy

Leonard Nimoy, Leonard Nimoy
Dear Mr. Spock, oh golly gee boy

It sure would make me smile and laugh
If I could have your autograph.
If I don't get it, I'll be blue
But then, I know what I will do.

I'll call you up on the telephone
And bother you while you're at home.
You hang up, the line goes dead
But then a new idea pops in my head.

I'll visit you right where you live.
I'll ring on the doorbell and ask if you'll give
That autograph I've been waiting for.
You give it to me, and so much more.

Oh thank you, thank you, Mr. Spock
Now please call Bones? I need a doc.

Quotes

• Narrator: Freakazoid, in stereo where available. And where not available, it's not in stereo. There's nothing we can do about that so don't blame us. We have no control over it. Call your cable company if there's some sort of a problem or the local broadcaster. But if they're not giving you stereo and you want stereo, that's your problem. Not ours. Don't bug us. Complain to your congressman or Newt Gingrich! Like I'm sure he'd care! Ha! But we don't want to get any letters. Understand? Good!

• Narrator: The following scene has been deleted by the network censor because it shows a pup making dog water.

• Lord Bravery: Look, what don't you understand?
  Bill: Any of it.
  Lord Bravery: Listen, it's really quite simple. I take Lord Bravery. She becomes "Helen's Bake Shop", "Helen's Butcher Shop" becomes "Rudy's Butcher Shop", because "Rudy's Hardware And Twine" changes to "Hank's Hardware And Twine" and "Hank's Tires" becomes "Terry's Tires" and if "Terry's Intimate Apparel" changes to "Wendy's Intimate Apparel" requiring Wendy's to change to Johnny's, Johnny's to Ellen's, Ellen's to Frank's, Frank's becomes Enrique's and Enrique's becomes Bill's, which means all you have to do is change your name from "Bill's World Of Paint" to something else!
  Bill: But I don't want to!
  Lord Bravery: Why?!
  Bill: Cos' my name's Bill.
