Freaked is a 1993 cult comedy movie co-written by, co-directed by, and starring Alex Winter.The film centers around Ricky Coogan (Winter), an arrogant blockbuster actor and spokesperson for a company that produces toxic chemicals, who travels to South America to get a first-hand look at the chemical's effects. He finds himself at a mutant freak farm run by Mad Scientist Elijah C. Skuggs (Randy Quaid), who eagerly turns Ricky into another subject for his freak machine.It was originally pitched as a low-budget vehicle for the Butthole Surfers, but went through a number of rewrites, eventually developing into a Black Comedy set within a sideshow.Also starring William Sadler, Brooke Shields, Mr. T as the bearded lady, Bobcat Goldthwait as a sock puppet, and an uncredited Keanu Reeves as Ortiz the dogboy. | |

The Cameo | |
| Freaked / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Larry "Bud" Melman inexplicably appears for a couple of random scenes at the freak show. Butthole Surfers vocalist Gibby Haynes is the audience member with the third eye tattoo who points out Socko has a hand under his sock. Sam Raimi plays one of the cops on the cheesy TV show that Skuggs watches. Raimi gave directors Winter and Stern their first break in the biz. Morgan Fairchild has a bit role as an airline stewardess. Brooke Shields has a small role as Skye Daly in the Framing Device. Keanu Reeves appears uncredited as Ortiz the dog boy. | |

After all the outlandish creatures like Ortiz, the Cowboy, and the Worm, a name like "The Hideous Frogman" would lead you to suspect some kind of bizarre human-frog hybrid, and the character is first shot entirely in shadow to sell this impression. Turns out that he's actually just a French guy in a diving suit. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: All of the freaks attempt to escape by dressing in milkman uniforms (even the hammer). At the same time. Lampshaded when Ortiz claims that it's merely the number of milkmen that is suspicious, though it does actually fool Skuggs, who simply remarks that there being so many of them is why they must be having a knife fight. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| Freaked / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: After all the outlandish creatures like Ortiz, the Cowboy, and the Worm, a name like "The Hideous Frogman" would lead you to suspect some kind of bizarre human-frog hybrid, and the character is first shot entirely in shadow to sell this impression. Turns out that he's actually just a French guy in a diving suit. Socko is this as well. He is portrayed by both Skuggs and himself as part man, part sock, but he is revealed to have a hand underneath, making him just a sock puppet (though it is a third hand, so it should still count). The reveal of this causes a riot in the audience. In the Framing Device, Ricky is shown in silhouette talking about how his appearance causes people to gasp in horror at the mention of his name. His outline is obviously very deformed. During his story, he becomes deformed in a way that mirrors his outline in the opening scene. In the end, we cut back to the framing device, and Ricky's spotlight turns on, revealing that he's back to normal. His seemingly deformed outline was just a cactus behind him that coincidentally mirrored his previous deformity exactly. | |

Take That!: When Skuggs decides to mutate Ricky, Julie and Ernie into freaks, one of the settings on his computer is "Michael Jackson". Brooke Shields (as Skye) says that she heard Return to the Blue Lagoon was terrible. This is also an Actor Allusion and a bit of Self-Deprecation. Ricky is enraged to be told that he's an inferior actor to Christian Slater. The milk man states that a piece of shit kind of looks like Winona Ryder. When Ricky asserts, "The public does not want to see disgusting, depraved, violent filth," Elijah counters, "Then I suppose Jake And The Fat Man was just a fluke?" | |

Shout-Out | |
| Freaked / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: There is mention of a film titled Ghost Dude (Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey). The head of the famous horned cyclops in The 7th Voyage of Sinbad appears for a moment during Ernie and Julie's transformation. Stuey has at home a cardboard cutout of RoboDude, that is essentially Coogan's face pasted on RoboCop's body. Ernie and Julie briefly turn into Gumby and Pokey during their mutation sequence. Gumby-Julie starts pulling his pud and flips off Skuggs. As Ricky, Ernie and Juley ride through the forest to get to the "freek show," the animal sounds they hear include the signature whoops of Woody Woodpecker and The Three Stooges. A lot of the slapstick humor in the film is an homage to Looney Tunes and the Stooges. In early scenes, Ernie wears a Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt. Winter and Stern directed some early videos for the band. Ortiz forces Ricky, Ernie and Julie into a game of The Hollywood Squares, complete with (the skeleton of) Paul Lynde in the center square. When the EES executives are said to turn into "a really big shoe," this is a reference to The Ed Sullivan Show, in which the host would famously pronounce "show" like "shoe" when saying his catch phrase, "Are you ready for a really big show?" | |

Big "SHUT UP!" | |
| Freaked / int_d1e7f24a | comment |
Big "SHUT UP!": Humorously inverted, when Skuggs walks out onto stage to find the entire audience engaged in a massive drink-throwing brawl. He calmly says "quiet, please," in a normal speaking voice that couldn't possibly be heard over the din, and the entire audience instantly stops fighting to politely take their seats and quietly watch the show. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Freaked / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Stuey, Julie, and many protesters call out Ricky for sponsoring the evil, toxic Zygrot-24. | |

Fake Shemp | |
| Freaked / int_d51263b9 | comment |
Fake Shemp: Mr. T walked off the set a few days before shooting wrapped, so they had to use a stand-in for the Bearded Lady in several scenes, and Lee Arenberg (The Human Flame) had to dub some of his lines. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
| Freaked / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Ortiz is counting on this to get most of the freaks snuck out, but thinks that Ricky dressing like a milkman is just one milkman too many, and a knife fight ensues. Skuggs looks out and does note the unusual number of milkmen — and decides that the knife fight is just because it's a really competitive route. | |

Morality Pet: Stuey tries to be this for Ricky, but he's just too much of a Jerkass. Until he finally lets the little troll into his heart. | |

Milkman Conspiracy | |
| Freaked / int_e82bc849 | comment |
Milkman Conspiracy: Twelve milkmen get together on the same route, pretending to just be doing their usual business. Soon another milkman joins the party. They all know each other and they've got a shady plan no one should know about. | |

Jerkass | |
| Freaked / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: Ricky is a very mean person, not caring at all about the negative consequences of making a deal with EES and trying to seduce Julie by pretending to be an injured person who sides with her opposition to EES. | |

A Handful for an Eye | |
| Freaked / int_eef35d8d | comment |
A Handful for an Eye: Stuey takes out the RastafarEyes by tossing a handful of dirt at them, which works pretty well for a creature that's 90% naked eyeball. | |

Hard-Work Montage: The comical part that shows the freaks working hard and doing all kinds of insignificant things, that is making preparations for the planned escape. | |

Anti-Climax Cut | |
| Freaked / int_f8c6f877 | comment |
Anti-Climax Cut: Pretty much the signature of Socko, who tells the story of his mutation by going straight from meeting Skuggs to having a sock for a head. He even manages to pull this off later about his own death. | |

Running Gag | |
| Freaked / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: The clueless protester with a "I like Ike" sign shows up a few times, and in the last one he's impaled with the sign. The Oxford professor that appears during Beast Boy's theater performance and gets injured a few times. Every time subtitles appear showing his name and occupation. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Freaked / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Early in the film, Ortiz chases after a squirrel, and in doing so, is pursued by the Rastafarian eyeballs. He appears at the very end, having survived, and finally catches the squirrel! Ricky fails to complete an important operation, but it's okay, because he nabbed some tasty macaroons! Everyone's happy, save the Worm, who doesn't like them. Turns out those macaroons contained the antidote for the transformation. Everyone turns back to normal...except the Worm, Ortiz, and Stuey, who didn't eat any. | |
