The Mask (animation)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** "Start dancing, I'll blow your brains out!"

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgBDjzdrRSI HEY PACHUCO!]

** In the [[Oscar Bait]] scene, The Mask references ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'' (among other things). Fifteen years later, [[Jim Carrey]] starred in ''A Christmas Carol''.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]:

** {{spoiler|Cookie ending up naked in front of Kellaway and Doyle}} would not be considered kosher to air on television (especially children's television -- unless it's [[Cartoon Network]]) thanks to the FCC cracking down on indecency from the Janet Jackson [[Wardrobe Malfunction]] fiasco in 2004.

** A year after this episode aired, the [[Bill Clinton]] - Monica Lewinsky scandal happened (though the idea of a corrupt city politician having an affair with a woman who has a job in the sex entertainment biz is more reminiscent of Eliot Spitzer, which wouldn't happen until the late 2000s).

** The beginning of "Counterfeit Mask" where the Banana Republic Liberation Army freedom fighters hijack a plane. The whole thing {{spoiler|turns out to be a dream}}, thankfully, which is more than what anyone can say about "9/11."

*** And ''after'' that {{spoiler|dream sequence}} we get a scene where a Jerkass security guard doesn't bother to look at Stanley's luggage (which was switched with one containing counterfeit money. Imagine if it was a bomb...) because "a wimp like you couldn't sneak a peanut past a sleeping baby". And when Stanley ''insists'' he gets his bags checked he gets ''thrown out''. [[Sarcasm Mode|Isn't negligent airport security funny? Especially in an age of body scans, pat downs and other abuses made in the name of said "security"?]]
