comment
This Animated Adaptation of The Mask lasted for 55 episodes, from 1995 to 1997. It was definitely a product of the film rather than the comic book and took its cues from the Looney Tunes inspired antics of the Mask to make him a real (sort of) cartoon character. This actually allowed the "kids' show" to be in some ways more adult with more subversive antics.The plot is simple: Stanley Ipkiss, a mild-mannered banker, struggles with the responsibilities of having a mask that transforms the wearer into a nigh-omnipotent trickster. He takes up the superhero thing, but his alter-ego, The Mask, is more interested in simply partying and having fun, which makes Stanley’s life significantly harder (especially his bank account). However, the Mask still manages to save the day from villains like the Mad Scientist Pretorius, the shadow-stealing fairy Skillit, a group of gangsters led by Lonnie the Shark, and many more, since Stanley’s good personality is able to steer him in the right direction.Not to be confused with M.A.S.K..

Canon Foreigner: Walter, The Juggernaut and main antagonist for The Mask in the comic books (there called as Big Head), comes back for the series as one of the Rogues Gallery, in a sort of PG version of the character, but maintaining most of his traits from the source.

Darker and Edgier: Despite being a somewhat wacky show, there are two episodes that stand out: "Sister Mask" is one of the darkest episodes of the show about People Puppets via a replica of Loki's mask controlled by Dr. Pretorius but it's zig-zagged in that there is levity at the end when Stanley gets his revenge on Pretorius the Big Bad. "Shrink Rap", focusing on a Psycho Psychologist zig-zags this trope, as although in this case, With Great Power Comes Great Insanity, it's also got some levity too.

Villain Team-Up: The Framing Device for "Convention of Evil" is Pretorius trying to form a cartel made up of the city's major villains. None of them really want to go for it, due to all the grief they've suffered fighting the Mask, which is why Pretorius called in Dr. Neuman.

Give Geeks a Chance: Vicky Pratt was the prettiest and most popular girl in high school who Stanley had a huge crush on, who admits to him years later that had a huge crush on him right back, and judging from the backstage pass she sent him and how she acts around him, hasn't stopped crushing on him.

Papa Wolf: Stanley and The Mask love Milo deeply and won’t hesitate to go after anyone who tries to hurt him. Same with any kids that the Mask happens to notice are in trouble. As shown in "Baby's Wild Ride" and "Mutiny of the Bounty Hunters", whenever Baby Forthwright is left in Stanley's care, you'd best believe that the Mask will stop at nothing to keep the little guy safe from harm.

Breaking the Fourth Wall
 The Mask / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Happens quite a bit in this series. In "Double Reverse", the Mask tells Kablamus to accept defeat, but the latter refuses, saying that the children wouldn't like it. The Mask looks around, not seeing a single child in sight, and humors him, before zooming towards the screen and acknowledging the viewers. In "Split Personality", after the Mask gets himself and Stanley out of a trap designed to split them in half, Stanley asks why he didn't do that sooner. "Sense of jeopardy! Keeps them (points at the viewer) on the edge of their seats."

 The Mask / int_1fb440a6

Voluntary Shapeshifting: The Mask's main power is to transform into something appropriate for the situation. He has several favorite forms he reuses, such as Child Mask, Ancient Martial Arts Mask, Terminator Mask, Pirate Mask, Knight Mask and Swimsuit Mask, though he has several other forms he only uses once. He often likes to use the Einstein Mask form.

With Great Power Comes Great Insanity
 The Mask / int_208c4494
comment
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: The main characteristic of the Mask is not that it's good or bad, but that it's crazy. What makes it use its power for right or wrong is the morals of its host (Stanley is a good person, so The Mask becomes nominally heroic (same with Evelyn when she puts it on and becomes Eve). Previous hosts have been driven on murderous rampages if they themselves aren't very nice people, though there are some who can be Affably Evil, such as Dr Neuman who wore it and became a polite Anti-Villain who still retains some morals.

Ambiguously Human

comment
Ambiguously Human: Two examples: Although he's a Cyborg, Dr. Pretorius, the Big Bad, may or may not be human, as he seems to survive long enough off his robot body and he's never seen eating or drinking; also, his eyes are red optic implants with no sclera or iris in them, and he speaks with a robotic tone. Pretorius' goon, Walter, a former mobster is an The Juggernaut-type who does not speak very often (in this continuity, when he does, it's unintelligible) and he survives things that no human should. Plus he has very zombified-looking skin colors and walks like Frankenstein's Monster.

Captain Ersatz
 The Mask / int_25b5600
comment
Captain Ersatz: Quite often, usually ranging from lawyer-friendly cameos to shout-outs Much of the main cast may also count, as happened with The Real Ghostbusters, none of them really look like the actors who played them, with only Charlie, Doyle and Peggy really getting anywhere close. This may have been to avoid paying for likeness rights. It's also possible that since the animated Ace Ventura (whose series ran in the timeslot following the Mask and even crossed over with it in an episode of each) actually was a clear caricature of Jim Carrey they wanted to make them distinct from each other. Perhaps the funniest part of that is the fact Stanley looks quite a bit like Peter Venkman from The Real Ghostbusters. Lonnie the Shark's biker gang may be an expy of the Dreadnoks from G.I. Joe. They even have Australian accents and one looks like a fat version of Torch. Or rather, two of them do. Two members of the gang use the same character model. One is colored just like Torch's original toy, the other colored like Torch's animated appearance. It's worth noting that this series was animated by Sunbow, the same company that created the G.I. Joe series that premiered in 1985. The concept for Lonnie the Shark and his biker gang is inspired from Biker Mice from Mars; Lonnie's resemblance to BMFM's main antagonist Lawrence Limburger is a real giveaway. Pretorius resembles Eugene Rapaz, a drug dealer from the original comics. Walter may be this to the Walter from the comics. They look the same and both never speak, but cartoon Walter is indestructible whereas comic Walter can bleed when injured, and even likes to cut himself just to freak people out. He's also tough but not indestructible as Big Head was able to subdue him with electricity. Comic Walter worked for Eugene Rapaz and cartoon Walter worked for Pretorius. See the entry above. Putty Thing is a dumb teenager version of Clayface from Batman: The Animated Series. Another that crosses the line between this and a mythology gag, while Lt. Kellaway doesn't even come close to resembling his film counterpart, he's practically a dead ringer for Kellaway from the comics.

Mythology Gag: In "Sister Mask", when Pretorius wears the mask, Peggy refers to him as "Big Head" — the name given to the mask wearer in the original Dark Horse comic series. In "The Mask is Always Greener on the Other Side", the Mask once again produces a framed (and signed!) photograph of Kellway's wife. In one episode, the Mask turns into a muscular Rambo-type character with a large machine gun that fires real bullets. He notes that he loaded the barrels with "Bang!" flags earlier. In "Santa Mask", the Mask performs a mambo version of "Jingle Bells" in the Cuban Pete costume.

comment
The Dreaded: Downplayed with Walter. Most of the villains either start out as comedic or get that way, but Walter is consistently treated seriously (often to contrast the Mask's antics). Also, due to being Nigh-Invulnerable, he routinely prompts an Oh, Crap! from the Mask. While the Mask always comes out on top, it takes more effort to beat Walter than the other villains, and it's usually only by simply sending him away or trapping him somewhere.

Reveling in the New Form
 The Mask / int_2c7a0875
comment
Reveling in the New Form: In "Little Big Mask", Stanley Ipkiss creates an anti-aging formula and uses it on himself, only to find himself regressing uncontrollably into childhood. He's initially alarmed by the process, but once he starts wearing the Mask, he quickly adapts and starts having fun — no doubt aided by the fact that the Mask is a bit of a Manchild anyway; he even spends the day playing on the swings with an increasingly horrified Peggy. Indeed, Stanley is having so much fun that it's not until he regresses from toddler to baby that he finally understands that if he doesn't help Peggy find a cure, he'll regress out of existence.

Even Evil Has Standards: Stanley is just so harmless and pitiful in his pleading, that the frickin' Devil finds a loophole in his own contract to offer him a way out. Masked Dr Neuman though insane and psychotic still has standards such as putting people in wedgie straitjackets instead of killing them and even with Stanley which he was very annoyed with, he decides to put him in a wedgie straitjacket and though the boy's mom keeps hitting him on the head he decides to put her in a cage instead of another wedgie straitjacket and he puts Charlie to Rorschach tests and even though he mentioned the mask he does not do anything to him until he mentions Stanley which makes him lose control and do lobotomy on him but after his appointment alarm went off he decides to not to do it and put him in a wedgie straitjacket instead and at the prison after Pretorius tells him about his plan to destroy Edge City to take a photo of aliens from outer planet, Masked Dr Neuman does agree with everyone that Pretorius is insane but decides to team up with him and help him do it anyway.

Arch-Enemy: Good ol' Dr. Pretorius, whose motives vary by the episode, but usually fall under inhumane experiments For Science!! The Mask is the archenemy of both Pretorius, who's an evil villain, and Lieutenant Kellaway, who's a police officer that the Mask loves to torment. It's not actually clear whether the Mask considers Kellaway an enemy of his, or if he just has fun screwing with him because he doesn't have much of a sense of humor.

 The Mask / int_34dcfc96
comment
Kick the Dog: Literal example in "Sister Mask", when Pretorius had control of the Mask, and made the Mask kick Milo. Stanley wasn't happy about that, and when he got his revenge, he turned the Sister Mask on Pretorius, made him become a soccer ball and then made him kick around his robot body and his own henchmen. He even nearly calls out this trope word-for-word:

"Freaky Friday" Flip
 The Mask / int_36754cc7
comment
"Freaky Friday" Flip: "The Aceman Cometh" involves Pretorius developing a machine to acquire the brainwaves of Professor Quatermass in order to get past a facility's security system. He ambushes Quatermass at the park, but things go sideways when Milo accidentally gets hit with a beam, which leads to an unintended brain swap. During the climax, attempting to fix things causes the machine to go haywire and repeatedly swap the minds of the Mask, Quatermass, Pretorius, Ace Ventura, and a re-animated Martian with each other. In the end, everyone's back where they should be, except Pretorius and the Martian.

Batman Gambit: Stanley finds a special "Sister Mask" to be placed over the original one, which is said to give the wearer better control over his alter-ego. It turns out Dr. Pretorius created this Sister Mask and planted it in a museum; it's actually a body-control device.

Most Writers Are Male: Subverted with "Flight as a Feather". Would you believe that, in spite of the appearance of (and subsequent Fanservice provided by) Cookie BaBoom (the Mayor's exotic dancer ex-girlfriend), that the episode was written by a woman? Yeah, there may have been some male writers pitching ideas — among other things, but an actual woman — named Julia Lewald — is credited for writing "Flight as a Feather".

Superpowered Evil Side: Downplayed. The Mask is amoral, instead taking on the morality of whoever is wearing it. In the cases of Dr Pretorius, Dr Neuman, and Stanley's former high school bully Chet Bozak, they were always bad and the Mask just gave them powers to help carry out their plans.

Adaptational Heroism: As with the movie, the Mask allows Stanley Ipkiss to a superpowered prankster instead of a malevolent entity like in the comics. That said, it's alluded to that previous owners of the Mask were not so benevolent. Peggy's still constantly trying to exploit the Mask to get a scoop, but she doesn't act antagonistic towards Stanley anymore.

Alternate Continuity: It doesn't seem to follow the movie which had a definite ending. It seems more like the events of the movie just happened differently with Stanley hanging onto the mask, though a throwaway line from Charlie in "The Mask Is Always Greener On the Other Side" hints that the movie happened but that Stanley either found the Mask again or simply pretended to get rid of it. Also, Milo was seen swimming away with the mask at the end of the movie, which means maybe Stanley got it back that way and decided to keep it. There was also another throwaway line from Peggy from that same episode that hints that the movie happened.

Just Ignore It: "Goin' For The Green": Colonel Klaxon's scheme involved exploiting this. He convinced the locals to just ignore the Mask's antics under the belief he'd eventually go away and stop bothering them. The Mask was quite frustrated by this turn of events. "The Mother Of All Hoods": after a very humiliating encounter with the Mask, Kellaway tries this ahead of his newest case. The Mask still keeps popping up (either to bother him or warn him about something relevant to the case), and Kellaway gets increasingly twitchy with each encounter. He explodes by the end.

Latex Perfection: The Mask disguises himself as Dr. Neuman in "Convention of Evil", to the point of copying his voice, height, and mannerisms perfectly. The only way anyone could figure out his disguise is when the real one called Pretorius and told him he couldn't show up in time. He also does this in "Little Big Mask", disguising himself as Stanley to trick Peggy. This may also be another Mythology Gag, as one of Big Head's abilities in the comics was to wear incredibly realistic masks made of skin to literally resemble anyone he/she wanted to.

Rebus Bubble: In "Split Personality", when Stanley is thinking of what would happen if his old high school bully found and wore The Mask. He was mostly right. Luckily, the mask had been split in half at the time and Chet was only wearing it on one half of his body, allowing his normal self to stop his Mask persona when he went too far. Also, in "Enquiring Masks Want to Know", the Mask has one after Peggy points out to him that the various cryptids (i.e. Sasquatch and the Loch Ness Monster among various other things) that have been suddenly appearing in Edge City as of late don’t have shadows, which makes him realize only one person could be behind this; Skillit.

Beneath the Mask: This cartoon expands on the idea (established in the movie) that the magical mask unleashes the wearer's repressed self. To wit: Peggy, an intrepid tomboy, becomes a vain, attention-hungry diva. Chet, a seemingly placid Reformed Bully, becomes a psychopath. To drive it home, when Stanley starts acting more confident and outgoing, the mask stops working, because it can't draw on his his "inner" self. In order to save the city he's forced to assume his usual loser persona.

Challenging the Bully
 The Mask / int_52092250
comment
Challenging the Bully: In the episode "Split Personality", a high school bully, Chet Bozzack, who tormented Stanley Ipkiss, to the point that he was expelled from the school, gets employed in the same bank where Stanley works. He initially seems to have mellowed out, with occasional moments of Jerkassery here and there. Then the mask gets split in half and then Chet finds one half and puts it on, releasing his repressed personality, which is a big bully. He ends up challenging Stanley (who still has the other half of the mask) for a fight in their old high school campus, as an act of revenge for getting him expelled. Unfortunately for Chet, while Stanley's normal self is still afraid of his former school bully, his repressed half (i.e The Mask) isn't and he is far more experienced with the powers of the mask. The resultant fight is almost one sided (though Chet does get his occassional moments), before things take a murderous turn and even Chet is horrified by his masked half's actions and manages to fight his inner demons, meanwhile, Stanley's masked half reveals he was only pretending to be helpless for fun. The episode ends with Chet realising he still needs help and deciding to start a new life in a new city.

Art-Style Dissonance: "The Aceman Cometh" combines the relatively realistic character designs of The Mask universe with the deformed, more cartoony look of the Ace Ventura cartoon, so whenever Stanley and Ace are on-screen together, their designs clash. This is exasperated by there being two credited studios (Fil-Cartoons and Cuckoo's Nest) for the episode.

Big Eater
 The Mask / int_5fcedca
comment
Big Eater: In "To Bee or Not To Bee", a side-effect of The Stinger's Metamorphosis into a giant bee is now he needs an insane amount of honey to survive, which drives him to eat the contents of an entire Honey Chews factory in a single night and later enslave the entire city just so the inhabitants can manufacture more honey. Later, in "Convention of Evil", he has to have a pot of honey available at all times. The Mask will eat enormous amounts of junk food during his nightly escapades, and often run up Stanley's credit card bills in the process. Whether or not this is due to him needing a lot of calories for his powers, or just because he loves food isn't established (though the latter belief seems more believable, as The Mask is supposed to be what Stanley always wants to be in life — wild, unpredictable, able to attract women and disrespect authority). Just how big of an eater is he? He can eat twenty whole pizzas in one bite.

He also says he figured out that Stanley and the Mask are one in the same on the basis of Milo's clear devotion to his owner, but he also admits Spike provided photographic proof of Stanley putting on the mask, so that was technically cheating.

"Shrink Rap", focusing on a Psycho Psychologist zig-zags this trope, as although in this case, With Great Power Comes Great Insanity, it's also got some levity too.

Bottle Episode: The episode-long Clip Show episode "Convention of Evil" has most of the series' villains in one room and "The Green Marine", which took place inside the courtroom (and only departed from that place during flashback sequences).

The hypnotism wears off when the Mask tricks him into suggesting he forget what happened at the ball, which includes getting hypnotized.

Do Wrong, Right: During the episode where The Mask becomes the US President's personal assistant, he is caught on camera taking bribes from a sexy lobbyist, which the President is force to fire him. When The Mask protests since he thought it was ok for politicians to take bribes, the President points out it is but only in secret and never shown in public.

Cool Car: The show often featured the Mask Mobile (which is the Mask applying his shapeshifting powers to the Loaner — once it even reversed as Stanley was forcibly unmasked while driving), which also had a prominent role in the Mask toyline.

Fountain of Youth: This happens in the episode "Little Big Mask", where The Mask invents an anti-aging cream that winds up working a little too well, and causes him (and Stanley) to get younger by the minute. The rest of the episode focuses on him trying to create an antidote and Peggy trying to keep him focused. Of course, Hilarity Ensues.

Monster Clown: It’s implied that the Mask was like this in the past, because it was attached to bad hosts (i.e. Genghis Khan and Blackbeard). Now that it has Stanley as a host, his innate goodness is able to temper it into a morally-ambiguous trickster who generally does the right thing. Indeed, whenever it’s accidentally gotten stuck to a villain, the true horror of the Mask’s powers begin to show.

Mistaken for Transformed: "Little Big Mask" features Stanley Ipkiss testing an anti-aging cream on himself and suffering a downward spiral of regression as a result. After taking the now-infant Stanley to the hospital, Peggy wakes up to find that his enclosure is deserted except for empty baby clothes — leading her to tearfully assume that Stanley has regressed out of existence altogether and the clothes are all that's left of him. Fortunately, it turns out that one of the doctors just removed Stanley from the room for a quick check-up and he's exactly the same age he was the last time she saw him.

Sexy Coat Flashing: A warped variation done by Cookie BaBoom on "Flight as a Feather". After Smedley tries to stop Cookie from rushing the stage after Mayor Tilton, she supposedly flashes her naked body by opening her trenchcoat. Smedley lecherously growls, "Dy-no-mite!" As the trenchcoat hits the ground, the camera pans up, revealing the two megatons worth of dynamite strapped to Cookie's body — only to have the Mask give her a Shameful Strip.

Although he's a Cyborg, Dr. Pretorius, the Big Bad, may or may not be human, as he seems to survive long enough off his robot body and he's never seen eating or drinking; also, his eyes are red optic implants with no sclera or iris in them, and he speaks with a robotic tone.

Fingerprinting Air: Pretorius saw The Mask's hand print on the windshield of his van. He sprayed it with some mystery aerosol can and produced a solid 3D copy of his hand from it which was then used to plant evidence at a crime scene. On this note, this same episode actually established that Stanley and The Mask have separate fingerprints as they did not register as Stanley's when the police database was searched. They DID, however, register as The Mask. Lt Kellaway had once managed to haul him in on a jaywalking charge and got his fingerprints on file. (this was not the case in the movie, as Kellaway got a warrant to arrest Stanley as his fingerprints matched the ones left by The Mask robbing the bank)

Catchphrase: The Mask happened to have two memorable lines from the movie that gained this status.

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: The Mask and Milo's Mask form tends to suffer from this, often getting completely sidetracked from the bad guy until they barrel across The Mask's own shenanigans. Eve also suffers from this as well, like when she’s trying to kiss Stanley as he’s trying to warn her that there’s a cage behind her, and only at the last second does she notice. Later on when Eve rescues Stanley from Pretorius, she tries to kiss him again while Pretorius’s body reaches for the button that will activate a machine that will bring a meteorite to Earth, and though she stops the body, she also fails to stop it from activating the machine.

comment
Sequential Symptom Syndrome: In "To Have and Have Snot", the common cold turns out to be the only thing that can kill the Mask (because Stanley was sick in the first place). The symptoms are actually numbered from one to seven, and serve as a sort of countdown to doom.

Berserk Button: The Mask has three big ones: do NOT mess with his face, his clothes, or the Coco Bongo. Because if you do, he will then indulge in his (second) favorite pastime: REVENGE! And there's also one that both Stanley and The Mask share: DO NOT. HURT. MILO. When it comes to that dog, he can be a bit of a Papa Wolf. Pretorius found that out the hard way. In "Broadway Malady", once The Mask got word his favorite movie series, "Mad Monkey", was being made into a musical, he went berserk over it.

Weaksauce Weakness: Wearing The Mask while ill will screw up Stanley's powers and eventually kill him. So naturally, the city's attacked by a giant mucus monster while he's got a cold. Pretorius, deadly, evil genius that he is, can easily be disabled by knocking his head off his cyborg body, he seems to have trouble securing it properly. His detached head isnt exactly defenceless, but its much smaller and weaker than his body. His cybernetic body is a rather competent fighter, even minus the head to direct it.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: A nerdy, white guy named Smedley appeared as the Mayor's assistant in the season two episodes "Going for the Green" and "Flight as a Feather". He hasn't been seen since then (though he may have quit or was fired following the Cookie BaBoom incident, since his final line to Mayor Tilton after Tilton ordered Smedley to disarm Cookie was, "On my salary? I don't even get overtime, ya cheapskate!").

Heroic Willpower

comment
Heroic Willpower: When Stanley puts on the mask, he acts as crazy as ever, but still goes up against whatever villain is causing trouble in the episode. When most of the (non-villainous) characters puts it on, they just go completely bonkers with the exception of Evelyn who like Stanley still goes up against whatever villain is causing trouble. The implication is Stanley and Evelyn are the only ones who can muster enough willpower to control themselves and focus on saving the day. In "Shadow of a Skillet", it's revealed that another host who was able to do it was Abraham Lincoln of all people.

Shout-Out
 The Mask / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Plenty. It would require an entire wiki to catalog everything. If the show can go 5 minutes without a reference, it's a miracle. "Sister Mask" has Pretorius seeking four meteor shards that give powers — invisibility, fire-making, elasticity and invulnerability, "just like in comic books". The episode "When Pigs Ruled the Earth" has nods and allusions to Planet of the Apes and Soylent Green (as well as the book that inspired the latter, Make Room! Make Room!). The antagonist of the episode is a Pig Man named Dr. Maius (a pun on Planet of the Apes' Dr. Zaius) and it is mentioned in the future the Mask and Peggy Brandt end up in that humans are sent to a country by the pig-people to make Soylent Green, which is assured to Stanley Ipkiss to be a vegetarian dish. "Up The Creek" has one of the more appropriate ones, as the Mask emerges from an outhouse shouting, "Do not go in there!"

I Just Want to Be Special: Two comic obsessed teens (Dak and Eddie) decide to infect themselves with radiation hoping it would give them superpowers, but unfortunately they forgot to bring along an insect to bite them afterwards. Due to some events, they did mutate into inhuman creatures. Sadly, Eddie (the one with glasses) turned into a Fish Guy that's not even able to swim, while his buddy is a huge, Clayface-like goo monster. Whenever Fish Guy sees someone doing something extraordinary, he starts complaining about wanting to have superpowers too.

Lighter and Softer
 The Mask / int_ce6555f0

Lighter and Softer: While it is already much more lighthearted when compared to the ultra violent comics, it is also lighter compared to The Movie, which was a PG-13 rated comedy film with plenty of adult jokes courtesy of Jim Carrey, a lot of violence including on screen deaths and some profanity. The Big Bad was a realistic mob boss and his ex henchman (Dorian Tyrell) who wanted to kill him and become The Don. Once Tyrell got his hands on the mask, he becomes a malevolent entity just like Big Head from the comics and his methods are extremely brutal. Compared to that, most (if not all) villains here are your standard run of the mill Saturday-Morning Cartoon villains. Some are less wacky than the others (with Walter being the only one who has no wackiness associated with him).

Charlie as well. Having apparently been promoted after the events of the movie, he becomes a severe Pointy-Haired Boss, foisting all of his work onto Stanley, forcing Stanley to run numerous non-work related errands for him on top of that, and invariably threatening to fire him if he refuses or fails any of this. In one episode, Stanley had decided to act like the Mask even when not wearing it, and ends up getting a promotion that Charlie had been vying for. This is the same Charlie who had done all of the aforementioned to Stanley, and he somehow actually has the unmitigated gall to actually try to make Stanley feel guilty about this.

The Vamp: Shy and demure Evelyn's mask persona is this to a tee, although it’s downplayed as she’s not actively villainous.

Crossover
 The Mask / int_eb7c34cf
comment
Crossover: A two-parter with Ace Ventura's cartoon, which aired on the same network. The first part is "The Aceman Cometh" on this show; Milo goes missing (really stolen by Pretorius) and Stanley hires Ace to find him. After various antics and Pretorius's defeat, Ace and Spike head home with the mask in their possession, setting up "Have Mask, Will Travel" on Ace's own show.

Comically Invincible Hero: The Mask will bounce back from anything you can come up with. He's even pretended to be killed just to piss off or scare villains.

Song Parody: In "Flight as a Feather", The Mask has a cassette of himself singing a parody of "O, Christmas Tree" which makes fun of Mrs. Peenman and makes her listen to the song on full blast.

Drama-Preserving Handicap
 The Mask / int_efacc623
comment
Drama-Preserving Handicap: Since The Mask is a Comically Invincible Hero Reality Warper that can do pretty much whatever he wants and thus any threat is over once he shows up, most every episode involves Stanley spending a good majority of the episode being unable to put on the mask or have it lose its powers for one reason or another and dodging threats trying to get it, as the only way to really threaten The Mask is to threaten Stanley.

 The Mask / int_f10d3363
comment
Distracted by the Sexy: "Flight as a Feather", when Kellaway and Doyle go to capture the Mask, the Mask takes Cookie BaBoom — who has been spinning around for at least two to three scenes — and stops her so her naked body faces Kellaway and Doyle. While the Mask gets away, these guys melt right in front of her. The Mask often does this, particularly in "Love Potion No. 8 1/2" when he falls for the grouchy landlady Mrs. Peenman thanks to a carnival love potion sold to him by a gypsy.

Ridiculous Procrastinator
 The Mask / int_f1641c35
comment
Ridiculous Procrastinator: One of the Mask's Character Catchphrases is "But first...", meaning he's going to goof off before saving the city. This happens in nearly every episode. Though there have been some occasional inversions of the gag where he expresses eagerness to do one of his usual pastimes and says "But first" before stopping to defeat the villains.

The Alleged Car: Stanley still has "The Loaner" from the movie, and Kellaway and Doyle have a green car that always clatters and backfires when they drive it and was attacked by reanimated dinosaurs with an appetite for metal (as seen in "Jurassic Mask").

 The Mask / int_fdbd6162
comment
With Friends Like These...: Stanley's closest friend, Peggy Brandt, mostly uses him for tabloid material since she's the only person who knows that Stanley is The Mask. She even gets captured on purpose just to force him to use the Mask. Charlie as well. Having apparently been promoted after the events of the movie, he becomes a severe Pointy-Haired Boss, foisting all of his work onto Stanley, forcing Stanley to run numerous non-work related errands for him on top of that, and invariably threatening to fire him if he refuses or fails any of this. In one episode, Stanley had decided to act like the Mask even when not wearing it, and ends up getting a promotion that Charlie had been vying for. This is the same Charlie who had done all of the aforementioned to Stanley, and he somehow actually has the unmitigated gall to actually try to make Stanley feel guilty about this.
