Summary[]
After seeing him freak-dance at a boy band concert, Hank worries that the music and media Bobby consumes is too sexually charged for a boy his age, so he does whatever he can to make Bobby's childhood more wholesome. Meanwhile, the wives (Nancy, Minh, and Peggy) discuss which man is more handsome: Dale, Bill, Hank, Boomhauer, or John Redcorn.
Plot[]
Hank decides to control Bobby's music choices and is drawn to the boy band 4Skore when he listens to their album at CD Warehouse. Although made fun of by Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer for listening to a boy band, Hank takes Bobby, Joseph, Connie, and Connie's friend, Jordan Bronsen from the Frontier Learning Center to the concert at Reliant Astrodome. Hank is dismayed when the band's stage choreography is raunchier than his listening to a small part of one song led him to believe. He is also shocked to see Bobby and Jordan dancing inappropriately at the concert. After humiliating Bobby by dragging him away from Jordan, Hank develops an apparent obsession with trying to make Bobby's adolescence wholesome and brings a complaint to Jordan's parents, Howard and Nancy Hilgren-Bronsen.
The girl's parents' loose parenting style is appalling to Hank but alluring to Peggy and Bobby. Jordan's "progressive" parents are allowing her to have a coed slumber party, which they inform the Hills of at Blue Bonnet Creamery. Despite Hank's refusal, Bobby wants to go. Peggy, not wanting Hank to be tied with Bill for last place, secretly tells Bobby what bus to take to make it to the party. At the party, "cool girl" Serena is playing God in a game of 7 Minutes in Heaven, where Jordan and Bobby are locked in a closet and expected to make out. Jordan's parents have left to go see a movie, leaving the adolescents to take care of themselves. Hank finds out that Bobby has gone to the party and promptly makes it over to Jordan's house, saving Bobby from having to take off his clothes while in the closet. Hank then supervises the kids in little kid's games like pin the tail on the donkey.
Meanwhile, Nancy Gribble and Minh Souphanousinphone rank the sexiness of the men in the neighborhood, and Peggy Hill is mortified when Hank is tied with Bill for last place. The other women claim Hank is very responsible but that doesn't make him sexy. The women all agree that Boomhauer is the best-looking man on the street, but John Redcorn is the top score for sexiness out of all the men they know. Upon seeing how Hank handled the situation with the kids at the party, and saving them from sexual situations they weren't ready for, the women rank Hank just a little higher on the sexiness scale. In the end, when trying to get Howard and Nancy to stop their irresponsible and neglectful parenting, Hank comes across someone who thinks his views are a little too wild: the local Amish at the Mennonite Historical Society.

Trivia[]
- The name of this episode is a reference to the Missy Elliot song "Get Your Freak On".
- When Boomhauer hums a song, it seems to be New Kids On the Block's "You Got It (The Right Stuff)".
- 4Skore's two songs in the episode, "God Must Be Sad (Since He Left You Out of Heaven)" and "Freak Friction", are both available on the official website of songwriter/producer Michèle Vice-Maslin. Both songs were written by Michèle Vice-Maslin, Larry Treadwell, and Garland Testa, and produced and arranged by Vice-Maslin and Treadwell. Both were performed by Matt T.
- The married women of Rainey Street put John Redcorn at the top of their list of "Sexiest on The Block," even though he does not live on the block. He lives in a trailer just out of town.
- Even though Hank confiscated almost all of Bobby's room decorations and toys, it is likely that he returned them to Bobby after this episode.
Goofs[]
- When Michael first appears, both of his sweater sleeves are rolled down, however in his first closeup, his right sleeve is rolled up.
- Outside the closet when Dooley and Jordan are inside, Dooley appears to be outside, which would not make sense since Dooley is inside the closet. When the frame changes to Clark Peters joking about them, Ramon Alejandro is seen in Dooley's spot where he was originally standing.
- In the closet while playing 7 Minutes In Heaven, Bobby takes his socks off. When Hank picks up Bobby shortly thereafter, his shoes are on even though he was barefooted.
- In the ending scene when Bobby is about to kiss Jordan, he is seen standing in front of the wooden barrier kissing her. In the next scene, he is seen behind the barrier.
