As might be inferred by the title, a Nixon Mask is a rubber mask with the caricatured features of U.S. President Richard Nixon, specifically a large nose and creepy wide grin. Its status as the best-selling political mask of all time (and in many ways the inspiration for all political masks), as a symbol of famous counterculturists like Hunter S. Thompson and Bob Dylan, and as a hilarious remnant of The '70s have made it a classic go-to prop when a strange/funny mask is needed. |

Point Break has its team of bank robbers each donning a mask of a former president (they identify themselves as the "Ex-Presidents" and declare that they already robbed us when they were in office, so why not do it again now?), making it almost required for future criminal-themed media to reference it. | |

Worn by one of the cheerleaders in Sugar & Spice, in contrast to her partners in crime: she didn't want to go along with their heist at first, but later she changed her mind — however, there wasn't a matching costume for her, so she had to make do with a Nixon mask, suit and tie. | |

In Wasteland 3, a Nixon mask is being worn by Long John, no doubt to convince everyone that he absolutely is a human with a regular human face and not a synth in a poor disguise. If you kill him, you can take it for yourself and put it on one of your Rangers. They'll look silly, but it offers a surprising amount of protection and increases the Nerd Stuff skill by 1, making it a useful helmet. | |

Averted in one episode of Code Monkeys. Dave and Jerry have to rob a bank (in one of multiple attempts to pay back a drug lord), and instead of the expected Nixon masks, they instead don masks based on Henry Kissinger and Alexander Haig, both Secretaries of State (a bystander suggests they call themselves that); they quickly become Stupid Crooks and get away without robbing anything (and the cops sent to stop them — inexplicably Ted Logan and Buddy Holly (??) — just end up shooting each other). | |

Family Guy: Meg has a Slumber Party which is interrupted by her Amazingly Embarrassing Parents. When she tells him that they if they cared for her they wouldn't show their faces for the rest of the night, Peter remarks that it's a good thing he's wearing a Nixon mask, then pulls on a Ronald Reagan mask, flashes a double peace sign and says "I am not a crook!" (Peter's not really that bright). Spoofed by having a man in the mask rob money from a charity car wash; when Joe asks Lois to describe him, she says that he was wearing a Jimmy Carter mask like the robber in a movie but can't recall which one. In "The Tan Aquatic with Steve Zissou", Cleveland is snuck into a whites-only golf course using a Nixon mask. |
