Why does Freakazoid amuse me so much? Sometimes I feel like one of those retarded chimp-children that cheer and clap for those frightening animatronic farm animals at Chuck-E-Cheese.
I get the impression it was bought as a kids cartoon, then writers started piling on the teenager-level jokes, but it was too late to switch markets so it got stuck between worlds. So they just had goofy fun with it while it lasted. But that's just a guess.
