If I close my eyes I am immediately a ten year old kid again in elementary school as soon as the intro plays. holy moly. I am transported back to my parents house in the mid 80's. I am almost 50 years old now. we had it so good back then and did not even realize it or appreciate it.

[@1burnman]

Yes we did

[@truckdriver402]

It was M.A.S.K. or Thundercats as my favorite. What a great time to grow up! 🤘🏻

[@tygerbyrn]

Amen to that bro.

[@childrey14]

Yes it was. I was born in 1977. Great times to be a kid back then.

[@wolveschangerivers4339]

Born 76 we grew up in the best times without doubt.

Man oh man, to be a kid in the 1980s was awesome.

[@PioneerGrrrl]

this was the best part of the cartoon.

[@megagoodtimes78]

I would totally aerobicise and pump iron to this....on a loud speaker at my gym..piss everyone off🤣

[@user-to5mf9il1n]

Id sing it in my head when I was feeling low then when I realized there was a second verse I felt even better

[@tygerbyrn]

Watched the show and read the comics. It was awesome time to be a kid back in the 80s. I had the Soundwave transformer clipped to my belt. I had the Snake-Eyes action figure in my shirt pocket. I had the He-Man slime tower. Oh man, life was good!

[@tygerbyrn]

@reesemonkey77 yep. I recall that stench. Awful stuff.

[@floydbrennan9789]

Ah, MASK, Robotech, Transformers, G.I. Joe, etc. I miss the eighties! The cartoons were often just as good as movies!

[@swatofficer9513]

Floyd Brennan. ... Robotech would make for a really Badass live action movie for sure!!!

[@easygrin1127]

But the movies based on them made these days suck monkey balls

[@indrajeet]

ah, love the old day, when cartoons entertained and educated, nowadays few do either!!

[@darrencampbell9273]

These were the days. every Saturday & Sunday morning I would watch this without fail!

[@1thess523]

Yeah remember when they would show cartoon's till noon and then it was an OG Read more special on ABC and then it was adult tv like football or something around 1pm. I still remember all the G.I. Joe commercials and then the McDonalds commercials with the Fry Guy's and the little rubber martian toys they would give in the Happy Meals!!! Toy's R Us commercials etc. Now they show cartoons on saturday till like 7am or something stupid like that, my wife and I are 40 & 39yrs old with a 14,17,and 22 yr old and we still watch cartoons .

[@unknownninja1]

1thess523 I love the fact that you, and you're family still enjoy cartoons.Most people you're age and younger. Seem to despise cartoons ,I am glad that someone other than myself loves cartoons.I am thirty years old by the way :) .

[@1thess523]

Yeah i know what you mean, it was awesome the other night because my son found the old school Strawberry Shortcake movies on HULU and it was cool to see my wife looking at them like a little girl, I could see in her eye's that she felt like a kid again! I will never stop watching this stuff, I'll be the 100 yr old grandpa that watches cartoons!!

[@jeromykriege9649]

Thanks for the post, I watch this with my 8 year old son and he loves it just as much as I do. 80s cartoons were the best!!

[@Megared82]

One thing I've always wondered about M.A.S.K. agents, how the hell do they keep maintaining regular jobs when they are called into action so regularly??

[@jasonfoley6502]

they are so good at multi-tasking

[@tonywilliams6428]

Right? My boss gets mad if I take a PH day.

[@DanielBurapavong]

This episode aged well. But seriously, I love MASK.

[@xXSilentAgent47Xx]

20:45 What a great tip for childrens. If i ever saw that episode as a kid, i'd keep that in my mind. It happened to me once that dog looked friendly and when i wanted to pet him he tried to bite me but i somehow got bruise on my stomach. Could've been worse but i had some luck. We seriously need cartoon advices that are good for childrens. Not all parents can-do teach their childrens about the dangers outside.

[@RocketeerAndRoll]

I loved this show so freaking much as a kid.

[@Kristain1977]

My main purpose of watching KZbin old school cartoons and old school wrestling and wrestling I can't get on cable

[@TheMastiffprince]

There is such a divide between child watching this and adult. I used to have most of the m.a.s.k. toys and alot of episodes on beta thanks for posting it is still a great show.

[@blakeb106]

Most under rated cartoon ever

[@sdsuman1]

I hope the live-action M.A.S.K. movie finally gets made and I REALLY hope it kicks ass. They gotta cast Mayhem just right.

[@privateprivate1865]

With none or minimal cgi. I prefer real cars and real stunts. Or if cgi must be used, that its used to make believable stunts.. not over the top nonsense.

[@Dorelaxen]

Nick Offerman. Absolutely nobody else could even come close. Just a little grey in his hair and mustache and it's perfection.

[@disneyfan8178]

@@Dorelaxen IMHO, I think John Goodman might work.

[@JCombs03]

i used to have all the toys for mask along with the transformers,voltron,go go bots,gi joe,he-man,and teenage mutant ninja turtles lol those were the days born in 1980 im 33 years old it feels just like yesterday,now i feel old how the years have flown by lol.

[@gamecollect101]

Probably one of best cartoon intros ever.

[@jasonlove5366]

I liked Gloria Baker.

[@Emceemur]

Rather than obliterate Miles Mayhem with a lazer beam, they just shot off his belt and exposed his undies

[@johnensel6295]

Matt could have shown Miles wha fer ..having thought Scott had been "killed"...by using Spectrum to tell everyone that his undies had ...dun dun dun!...skid marks!

[@Umair10726]

even tho i grew up in the 2000s I watched this show as a kid and man it was something special looking back feeling like a kid this was pure gold an s tier cartoon in my book

[@indianman]

I loved this show. Had almost every car made including Boulder Hill. I had to leave my entire collection behind when I moved. One day I may just have to rebuild my entire collection. They even made a GIJOE figure of Matt Tracker in his Thunderhawk outfit.

[@claroibre4778]

Jared Shank that is harsh!! Who got your stuff

[@captainshrimppuertorico4148]

Visionaries, Sky Commanders, Tigersharks, Silverhawks, Centurions, Turbo Teen, Thundercats. The 80's were the age of great cartoons. Everything was fresh and new. Wonderful ideas for heroes and villians, unique and intriguing. Now all cartoons are ridiculous. They make no sense characters are rude or just plain stupid. The ideas seem like something out of an acid trip. And those are ones that stick around. Anything good or half decent that resembles th3 good olé days gets canceled after one season.

[@elijahrussjr]

I know how ya feel they don't show cartoons on Saturday anymore. What is the world coming to? Some things should be sacred, like jazz on the radio Sunday afternoon, but they took it off for the money!

[@sirbaskethead7089]

Oh, yay. Another person who pretends the 80s decade of cartoons were just perfect. I loved those times a whole lot better but some are trying there hardest and they are making very good things with such. Just because there is more artistic diversity doesn't mean "everything" sucks. You just sound like a preachy annoying 80s kid.

[@EnemyAce88]

"Artistic diversity" = lesser quality.

[@Emceemur]

Artistic diversity has shit to do with it. 80s cartoons and their toys were bad ass. That's not up for debate.

[@GreekWindmillChamp]

Another 80s cartoon with memorable music.

[@Jasonleal77]

I always laughed at the "DIC" production company at the end of each episode. Anyone else?

[@kimsey0000]

Lol same here

[@WAKEUPNOWDAMMIT]

Seriously, as soon as I hear the start of the intro my heart lifts!! Man, did I used to love my toons. Still do :)

[@freddyvidz]

How many episodes does VENOM need to recognize Scott?

[@caesarjergens]

To be fair he was dressed differently this episode. So I guess Venom keeps looking for that native american boy that called his arch nemesis `dad`.

[@macmel3507]

I use to love watches this cartoon after school!! I had a lot of the action figures and cars too!!

[@swacfan100]

D*mn i'm jealous (lol) I wanted the action figures & the vehicles so bad but couldn't get'em.

[@kalel248]

same here Melvin friend :D.. Awesome show from the 80s..

[@esands36]

[@markanixon77]

13:42 the wheels aren’t even turning!!! 😂 I used to love this cartoon as a kid. Got loads of action figures too. Lol

[@2015WA]

Love it then an still love it now M.A.S.K

[@BronyNumber4096]

Dusty's sounds kind of like that shopkeeper from the CD-I "Zelda's Adventure" game. "That was a wiiise purchase, young princess!"

[@RoyStantz]

After Scott and T-Bob were seemingly crushed to death, Matt kept a really cool head when he confronted Mayhem and told him, "I'm going to personally see that you spend the rest of your life behind bars!" After VENOM escape shortly after, Matt says that Mayhem will pay for what happened to Scott, but his tone of voice doesn't show someone who seems overly revenge-driven, considering that event is pretty fresh in his mind. Heck, Matt doesn't even give chase to VENOM after they escape. These just don't seem like the actions of a man with Batman-esque revenge. Hell, maybe Matt Trakker can cope better then fellow billionaire Bruce Wayne?

[@ninthelement7289]

I was thinking the same - Matt's dialogue and delivery were way too flat considering how upsetting the circumstances would have been in his mind. I guess they wanted to tone down the drama to keep it kid-friendly. Scott's revelation that he and T-bob were "fixed up" on an alien planet implies that he must have been badly injured by the barrels too, which is unexpectedly dark.

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

12:36 Finally! Someone told Scott to shut up!

man this video bring old memories ... i miss those days deeply

[@blinkoff42]

This is like an animated "Mission: Impossible".

[@aidanmcgrath911]

appartenley scott did die but was brought back to life by the star chariot.this was written by a member of the writing staff who was a scientiologist and had planned this episode to be the season finale episode.

[@seanvogt221]

Seems as if the animation was created in multiple sites. Half of the episodes like this one uses Japanese sound effects while the other use Hanna Barbara like sound effects and the video looks crispier.

[@pilotamurorei]

If you look at the production team, there are Japanese staff and US staff. This is kinda like Transformers in a way.

[@randomthought6681]

One of my fav of all time!!!!!!!! The kids robotic toy, T-Bob, was such a rip off to R2D2 lolol....

[@DanaAbel30]

They should make a movie of this old series.

[@cslhansen]

80's cartoon was the best but the intros are next level. 👍

[@bryansillman3240]

I loved Mask, with the other ones, from the beginning. What I liked is that even though the Mask tech was years ahead, the surrounding science was well researched. It led to some damn good episodes. The beauty of much 80s writing, was that, even though some of it was ahead, some of it was just right on track. It fertilized my mind, when it came theoretical physics. I spent many summer vacations wondering "if the slightest connection was made, right here, would a fraction of this stuff be possible" - in some way... I also like, how, when authentic mysteries of the story line were discovered, the chemistry of the characters, came together so well. You just don't find the creativity and awesomeness of writing like that, anymore...

[@nerthus4685]

00:50 don't you think wherever she is going, she can get there faster in a car?

[@jettmanas]

Interesting to see which shows get posted on KZbin. Thanks for this. Seems the heroes get different teams, depednding. I think the lady could've at least parked somewhere when called. 😉 Good stuff w/the fire, Scott survivng, & stopping the villains. 🙂

[@TheEyez187]

4:53 - Really, REALLY!!! You get the important call, so you stop your car in the middle of the street, get out and run away!!! Unless you're right by where you need to be, which I highly doubt in the first place, would you not be quicker driving to where you need to go!! To say nothing of women drivers!!! :O :O >XD

Yeah. 1985. The good old days before perfected communism, uh, I mean, political correctness came and ruined our lives. I don't need the government or anyone else to force me to love my fellow humans. If someone wants to be a racist jerk, then that's their problem.
