My brother-in-law Reg is staying with us... again.
So, to take my mind off the :-/ness of this situation, it's time for more videos -- specifically, Freakaoid!
From the Wikipedia entry linked above:
The show's title character is the superhero alter ego of geeky teenager Dexter Douglas. Gaining his abilities from a rather spectacular computer bug (becoming absorbed into his computer and instantly gaining all the information on the Internet), Freakazoid has enhanced strength and endurance, extraordinary speed, agility, and, unfortunately, negligible amounts of sanity. In one episode he developed telekinetic powers, which he could only use when he was very angry, though this was only used in one episode, and never mentioned or used again. He also has the ability to assume the form of electricity and cover long distances instantaneously, although he just as often simply sticks his arms forward and runs while making swooshing sounds with his mouth, pretending to fly. These changes make him a powerful and fearsome force for upholding freedom and righteousness, unless he gets distracted by something like a bear riding a motorcycle. His greatest weakness, as he once explained to a villain, is that he can be imprisoned in a cage with graphite bars charged with negative ions. He also expresses a great (though understandable) aversion to "poo gas."
Dexter can change into and out of Freakazoid at will with the words "Freak out!" and "Freak in!" (respectively). When not in Freakazoid mode, Dexter looks and acts completely normal, and his family is unaware that anything has happened to him.
The Freakazoid intro:
The hilarious "Emergency Broadcast System" skit:
"Freakazoid: Dance of Doom":
And of course, "Frenching With Freakazoid":
I hope they bring as much of a smile to your face as they do to mine.
