3:57 I always loved that background music. It's very 80s, but that's what I loved about it. It makes me feel like I'm moving. Like I'm getting somewhere.
@@TerrickTerran And I’m aware how unfortunate it was, for MASK fans, that the computer was gone, by season 2 (the racing season, which fans *detested*). I’m aware Alex Sector’s occupation was a pet shop owner, but I imagine (my favourite season 2 character, definitely allegiance to MASK) Ali Bombay’s occupation being a Pujari, where he owns a Parish.
Not always, though...there have been many episodes where only Sato & Alex get called, in which you could tell it's going to be a boring episode if it's only those two.
Its actually happening as a deal between Hasbro and Paramount been stuck that will see them explore some of Hasbro's less well known properties including MASK, if anything, it should beat the hell out of the GI Joe movies and maybe Micheal Bay TF movies but we'll find out in a few years
@@CarenConner I think because the last Gi Joe movie, pretty much bombed it likely got scrapped and a lot has happened since that post was written, 6 years ago and Paramount is trouble due to a lot of stupid choices and not making as much money at the box office while Hasbro also having problems from relying to heavily upon Disney own properties to surport them and now that those properties are failing, they are in trouble as well, plus I think the current people in charge of Hasbro, aren't even looking at their domant properties
When Alex Sector thinks 'their masks are protecting him, as well as the other good characters, from its effect', this made me think that people who still had their eyes exposed had to *stay away* from the TV (since Alex Sector, and all the other good characters, have their eyes obscured, by their masks, which protects them from getting hypnotised by the TV's effects). The TV (and its hypnotic effects) are how this episode got its *name* (and, obviously, 'VENOM' because it was them - the villains - who had this scheme of using a TV, for hypnosis).
shermanvermin76 the masks may have HUD’s that interfere with the hypnotic patterns or they might be operating in a different visual mode. I think they had an episode of X-files like that, where Mulder wasn’t affected by the TV’s in a town because he had partial color blindness. Either that or they’re desensitized to it because the MASK central HQ computer uses the same pattern as a screen saver.
I’m aware these are both old comments but my two favourite members of VENOM are Miles Mayhem and Sly Rax. Does anyone like Miles Mayhem’s *Buzzard* outfit? (which he wore in season 2 - the racing season) And what about Miles Mayhem’s VENOM’s Revenge gear? (I’m aware he never wore it in the cartoon, but he would have had there been a season 3). I did, once, see something about how a third season was planned, but, obviously, cancelled (and no, no footage exists - it’s only ever been mentioned).
7:14 I always found it funny how the MASK agents just carelessly leave their duties and just race off to HQ without taking the time to carefully sort things out before leaving. I mean I think we can probably guess what that kid does as soon as Hondo tells him to go to the principal's office. I'm pretty sure he didn't do as he was told.
I grew up watching this show and always wonder about how can all these adults just walk out on there jobs especially Hondo who is a teacher to go into action as a MASK agent. I am sure having a leader like Matt who is as rich as Bruce Wayne comes in handy.
I always imagined that after the mission is completed, the summoned agents returned to their jobs and give other people the classic excuse "I left the iron on".
Never, never did i hear a iconic line such as Jhon Paul Jones's on a cartoon today. Mask and other cartoons of the same era have a brute story about them that not all fights where won by the good guys, but dispite the losses, they kept fighting- to save the day Mask cartoons have a place in my history
"Trakker gathers a group of friends who, like himself, possess extraordinary talents and creates M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand)." Hmm, Matt seems to have all the powers of Bruce Wayne=D, i.e. Extreme wealth.
Quite a plan from Mayhem & VENOM. Anigrav solution at the former bridge, and what a close call in the end. Can't believe they took the laser apart & reassembled it. 😅Fun ep.
The biggest glitch in this series is in the opening. We see Hondo in a car that he does not get till later in the first season. He starts off with firecracker and one version of Blaster mask, after firecracker was destroyed by venom he gets Night stalker aka Hurricane as it was called when the toy version came out. He even got a new suit for the toy but he never wears it in the series. He even got the mask he is showing wearing which also has blaster power.
At 9:50 you can see a motorcycle mounted on the tailgate of Firecracker. However it is gone (forever) the next time we see Firecracker! We never see it in any other episode either (unless I missed something). I guess the animators were lazy? Much easier to *not* draw a motorcycle (especially if it doesn't serve the plot).
Here is another little flaw in this episode. How can venom destroy a Texas oil field if the town they took over is in Colorado. Seeing that, that is where mask headquarters is set.
When the computer listed her as part of the mission it said "gator copilot." They used old footage for that scene but they couldn't have shark in the rest of the episode because it wasn't supposed to be there.
If you notice there are only about 7 seats in the command center and we will usually see 4 agents selected. Sometimes less then 7 will be selected for a mission. In the first few episodes there was sometimes one chair empty. As this season roles on we meet even more agents.
The absolute greatest thing about this cartoon was the voice acting. It's SO bad at times that you honestly don't know if you're watching a parody or not. It's like the voice acting in those re-dubbed GI Joe PSAs. It's so bad that it's awesome. "I don't understand it. I don't understand. Don't understand." God, I love this show so much :)
Matt: “why did you put my son on the mission roster?!” Computer: “Mission analysis: he keeps showing up anyway, even when complying with parental orders. Recommendation: supply with mask tactical weapon and combat suit, at least he will have body armor.” If they ever make a live action version, the computer had better be GLaDOS.
Or MD Geist! I know that Brad's hair was miscolored. But when I see him with a blonde mullet and sunglasses, I see MD Geist. And that came out the same decade as this show!
I’m aware, at the time this show was made, Hasbro didn’t own it (Kenner did) [this show was never owned by Claster, given that it, at least at the time, wasn’t made by Hasbro, and only shows by Hasbro were owned by Claster]. By the time this show (rhyme unintended) joined G.I. Joe, Claster had long ended (this show - same rhyme unintended - possibly joined G.I. Joe, owing to Hasbro now owning Kenner).
This is one of the very few episodes (possibly the only season 1 episode) to have Miles Mayhem even at the very end (he even has his mask on, in the episode, right up until then) [when, usually, by the end of the episodes, him, and the other villains, would have been defeated].
18:26 to 18:35 As all the lasers and explosions are going off, you can faintly hear incoherent gibberish in the background! What were the voice actors doing?
What always annoyed me about this show was that despite all the lasers flamethrowers and missiles used NOBODY EVER GETS HURT. Its ridiculous and it reminds me of the tv show the a team. I mean why doesent the stiletto mask guy just headshot the tv station workers instead of wasting all that ammo to pin them to the ground by their clothes. And the people standing on the rail track? How the hell was that train able to stop that fast? I would have loved to see some body parts flyin'
*I* like him (he's now my only favourite villain in this, whereas Alex Sector's now my only favourite good character in this). I'm aware fans of this love Miles Mayhem's Switchblade outfit (although I additionally like his Buzzard and, even though this outfit never appeared in the cartoon - his 'VENOM's Revenge' outfit, since his Switchblade outfit made him look like a General, his Buzzard outfit made him look like a Colonel, and his VENOM's Revenge outfit - one of the four 'MASK Adventure Packs', made him look like a Sergeant) [though I definitely only like Alex Sector's season 1 outfit, where he's the owner of Boulder Hill, and, vehicles-wise - quoting the MASK computer - the 'Rhino systems commander'].
I’m aware this is an old comment - I wouldn’t be surprised if people say he looks like Saddam Hussein (though he doesn’t look like Osama Bin Laden). He does remind me of soldiers (especially when his first outfit - this one - where he’s the driver of Switchblade, makes him look like a General, whereas his Buzzard outfit - which he wears in the racing season, makes him now look like a Colonel; his VENOM’s Revenge outfit makes him look like a Sergeant). I remember a MASK comic where Miles Mayhem found a way to duplicate himself, so that all three of his outfits could now co-exist - you know what that would be like, for MASK! BTW, I’m not the same user as shermanvermin76.

Sharing of great Cartoons like this are what Originally made me Love RUclips. Thanks for having these posted
This show was like a cross between Knight Rider, Air Wolf, A Team, MacGyver, transformers, and a forerunner to both Team Knight Rider and Viper 🤩
Id say more Knight Rider,Airwolf,Street Hawk ,Highwayman and Transformers and Viper(90s)
It has a Sci Fi image.
Thank you for putting this show up. I will always love this show.
I am 11 and I love these old tv shows like mask transformers g.i. Joe a real American hero
Dude! You are about 19 now! Hope you still love these!
My man, Never let these enduring cartoons die. I'm 60 and I have let these live on

I love the music in M.A.S.K
Me Too.
One thing I always wondered was why they had choose the best agents for the job when the vast majority of the time, everyone came along anyways.
that was the fun part of every episode :XD
sept for gloria she aint in much of any episodes and that i never understood why cause venessa was in every ep
But then in some only one or two were selected
@@CarenConner yeah in later episodes they definitely cut down. Scott and T-Bob were always there though.
@@TerrickTerran And I’m aware how unfortunate it was, for MASK fans, that the computer was gone, by season 2 (the racing season, which fans *detested*).

M.T.: "Scan personnel files for the best MASK agents suitable for this mission"
Computer: "Same as yesterday. All of them, you twit."
That's pretty much what I'm thinking every episode XD
Computer: "Matt, you're the leader. YOU pick the agents for this mission!"
Stephen Fender lol
Not always, though...there have been many episodes where only Sato & Alex get called, in which you could tell it's going to be a boring episode if it's only those two.

This should be remade into a film!!!!! Do it!!!!
Who says film
Its actually happening as a deal between Hasbro and Paramount been stuck that will see them explore some of Hasbro's less well known properties including MASK, if anything, it should beat the hell out of the GI Joe movies and maybe Micheal Bay TF movies but we'll find out in a few years
@@superomegaprimemk2 I heard that the plans for the movie was scrubbed for some reason I hope they resume it I'd like to see it
@@CarenConner I think because the last Gi Joe movie, pretty much bombed it likely got scrapped and a lot has happened since that post was written, 6 years ago and Paramount is trouble due to a lot of stupid choices and not making as much money at the box office while Hasbro also having problems from relying to heavily upon Disney own properties to surport them and now that those properties are failing, they are in trouble as well, plus I think the current people in charge of Hasbro, aren't even looking at their domant properties
18:14 Stellar voice acting,"I don't understand" either.
I had the coloring book for this specific episode of MASK.
I remember drawing in the circles for hypnotic message on the TVs
At least we know how shows like American Idol and The Apprentice got so popular...those damn hypno-messages.
When Alex Sector thinks 'their masks are protecting him, as well as the other good characters, from its effect', this made me think that people who still had their eyes exposed had to *stay away* from the TV (since Alex Sector, and all the other good characters, have their eyes obscured, by their masks, which protects them from getting hypnotised by the TV's effects).

I like how Matt asked Dusty for the use Gator and Gloria As leader he could have ordered Dusty for use of Gator
16:11 Venom's theme song is so good...
Absolutely. Many 80's cartoons had great themes.
I’m aware these are both old comments but my two favourite members of VENOM are Miles Mayhem and Sly Rax. Does anyone like Miles Mayhem’s *Buzzard* outfit? (which he wore in season 2 - the racing season) And what about Miles Mayhem’s VENOM’s Revenge gear? (I’m aware he never wore it in the cartoon, but he would have had there been a season 3). I did, once, see something about how a third season was planned, but, obviously, cancelled (and no, no footage exists - it’s only ever been mentioned).
This is Where VENOM, Was "Almost" Victorious.
13:52 John Paul Jones?? The Led Zeppelin bass player seems an odd choice to quote in battle
I think he was quoting John Paul Jones the Revolutionary War naval officer, not the bass player who happens to have the same name.
7:14 I always found it funny how the MASK agents just carelessly leave their duties and just race off to HQ without taking the time to carefully sort things out before leaving. I mean I think we can probably guess what that kid does as soon as Hondo tells him to go to the principal's office. I'm pretty sure he didn't do as he was told.
I was going to comment on that, but you beat me to it.
I grew up watching this show and always wonder about how can all these adults just walk out on there jobs especially Hondo who is a teacher to go into action as a MASK agent. I am sure having a leader like Matt who is as rich as Bruce Wayne comes in handy.
MDthornton83 God forbid one of their team be a brain surgeon, or something of that nature!
Yeah, cuz then there would be a disaster on their hands.
I always imagined that after the mission is completed, the summoned agents returned to their jobs and give other people the classic excuse "I left the iron on".
21:02 Scott Your hurting my toe. Scott and Matt: Mockingly laugh at robot in pain.
Scott and T-Bob were always played for laughs (hence this dialogue).
Never, never did i hear a iconic line such as Jhon Paul Jones's on a cartoon today.
Mask and other cartoons of the same era have a brute story about them that not all fights where won by the good guys, but dispite the losses, they kept fighting- to save the day
Mask cartoons have a place in my history
"Trakker gathers a group of friends who, like himself, possess extraordinary talents and creates M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand)."
Hmm, Matt seems to have all the powers of Bruce Wayne=D, i.e. Extreme wealth.
13:52 That face I make when I love it while it's inside me XD
Makes me wanna get all the toys again
4:44 Why do I get the feeling Matt is WAY TOO SOFT on Scott?
I believe the Oz Effect was the only one where all the agents came along besides this one.
Quite a plan from Mayhem & VENOM. Anigrav solution at the former bridge, and what a close call in the end.
Can't believe they took the laser apart & reassembled it. 😅Fun ep.
The biggest glitch in this series is in the opening. We see Hondo in a car that he does not get till later in the first season. He starts off with firecracker and one version of Blaster mask, after firecracker was destroyed by venom he gets Night stalker aka Hurricane as it was called when the toy version came out. He even got a new suit for the toy but he never wears it in the series. He even got the mask he is showing wearing which also has blaster power.
And the bike at the back of Firecracker went missing half way thru this episode.
The beginning is straight out of the Monkees series finale, "The Frodis Caper."
The whole episode is like that Monkees episode
11:00
"Stop, there's a trip-wire across the bridge"
"Shit"
At 9:50 you can see a motorcycle mounted on the tailgate of Firecracker. However it is gone (forever) the next time we see Firecracker! We never see it in any other episode either (unless I missed something).
I guess the animators were lazy? Much easier to *not* draw a motorcycle (especially if it doesn't serve the plot).
Here is another little flaw in this episode. How can venom destroy a Texas oil field if the town they took over is in Colorado. Seeing that, that is where mask headquarters is set.
Actually, the original pack-in comics say that Boulder Hill is in Nevada.
at 9:45 any one else see gloria's car shark in front of rino before it turned into thunderhawke?
When the computer listed her as part of the mission it said "gator copilot." They used old footage for that scene but they couldn't have shark in the rest of the episode because it wasn't supposed to be there.
I totally agree with you MSThornton83
I was born in the 80's and it had mint music and cartoons that made you more active and motivated ^w^
If you notice there are only about 7 seats in the command center and we will usually see 4 agents selected. Sometimes less then 7 will be selected for a mission. In the first few episodes there was sometimes one chair empty. As this season roles on we meet even more agents.
8
I remember this episode quite well.
Trains can't stop that easily.
Symos and cars don't fly. It's a cartoon, not real life
I remember Hondo gettin a different mask later on and i think his codename was different too
The second mask Hondo wears has exactly the same power as his original mask. Its the one scene in the open credits of the show.
The absolute greatest thing about this cartoon was the voice acting. It's SO bad at times that you honestly don't know if you're watching a parody or not. It's like the voice acting in those re-dubbed GI Joe PSAs. It's so bad that it's awesome. "I don't understand it. I don't understand. Don't understand." God, I love this show so much :)
All roads and back tracks leds to Matt Trakker's mansion.
Does Matt ever not approve of the computers selection?
It's possible that Matt Trakker and Alex Sector programmed her to think like Matt.
ShreadTheWeapon the computer is a woman?
Yes, trevor brown.
He has told the computer that certain agents are pre-selected before. As well as when someone is not available, like Bruce in the Alaska episode.
Matt: “why did you put my son on the mission roster?!”
Computer: “Mission analysis: he keeps showing up anyway, even when complying with parental orders. Recommendation: supply with mask tactical weapon and combat suit, at least he will have body armor.”
If they ever make a live action version, the computer had better be GLaDOS.
6:09 Albert Wesker rockin' out
Or MD Geist! I know that Brad's hair was miscolored. But when I see him with a blonde mullet and sunglasses, I see MD Geist. And that came out the same decade as this show!

I like Switchblade ,its design,helicopter and futuristic semi Aircraft
6:08 Brad has blonde hair in this shot. His hair is usually brown. Also, we never see him without his glasses.
18:26 to 18:35 As all the lasers and explosions are going off, you can faintly hear incoherent gibberish in the background! What were the voice actors doing?
The confusion from the town people?
13:30

Changed a laser into sunlight? #wtf

@@FureyinHD For M.A.S.K, Illusion is the ultimate weapon.
