  • U have to watch Robot Chick's spoof on this HAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA right after watching this video

    

  • kinda lame yet awesome since it feels like im 14 again...im not im 29..lol

  • so epic tunes and cartoon in the 80s and 90s, and now.......omg, i wanna be a kid again

  • why is it so hard locating these tunes in good quality :<

  • The jeep that conceals a jet boat was a good idea that needed more thought. Why leave the wheels behind? Make it so the jeep transforms into a boat that can transform back into a jeep! Otherwise, if the chase goes back onto dry land, the guy in the boat is left having to drive back to where he left his wheels. Sure, it's only a cartoon, but that oversight was just silly!

  • @verilyheld they did have one vehicle that could do that don't remember the name of it but it wasn't in the title sequence because each agent is tied to one vehicle with the exception of the leaders as Miles had yje option of using Buzzard or Switchblade and Matt had the option of using Rhino or Thunderhawk generally they chose to use Thunderhawk and Switch blade though

  • @verilyheld I can't help but agree and it's not like amphibious cars are impossible in real life. although if the wheels could autonomously follow the boat then it wouldn't seem so dumb even though getting the boat back into the rest of the jeep after ejecting would still be a pain in the ass.

  • I feel like if i was 6 again!!!! ( T-T)

  • i grew up with them ..crazy!!!! to see this after so many years -thanks!!!

  • shit i loved this cartoon since 26 years ago and now i'm showing my son the same..hehehe

  • Live on the 80's. What music and what cartoons.  Bring it all back I say!

  • This intro is on par with Jayce and the wheeled warriors just fucking awesome

  • @MrShanbran

    I agree more than i can

  • what an awesome intro tune

  • Why oh why are catroons not as good as they used to be. 80's cartoon are the best

  • Does anyone know who sang in the theme?

  • Oh god, memories.

  • i loved this cartoon because of the awesome singer in the intro. I miss the 80's

  • @blulaguna18

    Yes the song really was good sung by a very good singer. The 80s had many heroic songs dont you think?

    Back then all boys wanted to become heroes and girls wanted to be rescued.

    Nowadays boys want to become girls and girls want to punch men. Sad.

  • thats not a mask,thats a helmet

    

  • Mask was my Transformer of its day

  • Ahhh, the 80's! I miss being a kid, watching MASK, GoBots, G.I. Joe, etc. after school. lol, now here I am, 37, and with a mortgage, responsibility, etc. Oh, what would I do to be a kid again?!

  • @Timbrock1000

    Im 32 now and collecting these wicked toys from ebay :)

  • Good intro, good voice acting (important!) and in general good sound effects and backup music (the theme for Venom was pretty solid IMO; rough metal but still soft enough for the "gentle audience". What is there not to like here? :)

  • Much better then nowadays crap...

  • I'm sure scarecrow in the dark knight would love to use this theme.

  • coolest toys ever!!!!! i was 10 back then and they were the closest thing to an orgasm!! lol

  • Used to watch this eating Captain Crunch before school. Back when cartoons f'n rocked.

  • wish mask have a live action movie its ok if micheal bay make it

  • Coolest Intro Song Ever!

  • they to make a film of this, it would great

  • Thanks god I was a kid then..... Thanks!

  • AMZING!

  • The only toy I wanted was the plane but could never find it.

  • ahhh..back when cartoon intros rocked...loved this show..watched it everyday before school

  • Orgasmo di anime!!!

  • Loved this show!!

  • Mask was the shit

  • Amazing

  • These lyrics are awful. Even as a kid, I knew that it would be a bad idea to get involved in a firefight between M.A.S.K. and VENOM so I could go see the laser rays fire away.

  • The 90's ... never again ;(

  • Mask crusaders, Working all the time, fighting crime, fighting crime! Secret raiders, who will neutralise, as soon as they arrive, Trekker's gonna lead the mission, And Spectum's got such super vision, M-m-m-MASK! Is the mighty power that can save the day, m-m-m-MASK! No-one knows what lies behind their masquerades! M-m-m-MASK! Always riding on Venom's trail, Come see the Laser Rays, Fly away!
  • What i find so disturbing is how in the 80's and early 90's unlimited top notch cartoons, now absolutely fuck all, where did it all go wrong?

  • @karatebuff spongebob killed cartoons

  • @mctyler86 Spongebob is awesome, if you don't like it don't watch it.

  • @moomoo1337 lol its garbage and I don't watch it

  • @karatebuff Demographic changed i think. Where as then, 80s and 90s, the makers made cartoons aimed at kids 5-14, now they aim them at ages 5-21. Hence south park and family guy and all these other grown up cartoons with more adult themed jokes

  • @adz124ps Would you not think that video game consoles have contributed towards the downfall or is that just a coincidence, I'd also say that most of the adult cartoons owe a huge gratitude to The Simpsons.

  • I always wanted to get a friend of mine who wanted a flying car a real car with wings that shot out just like the one in MASK. Then, when he was busy soaring through the sky, get his mom pregnant.

  • I always wanted a Camaro like Tracker's lol

    MA-MA-MA-MASK!

  • girls also lioved mask ok :)

  • This is so much better than the CGI rubbish like Fanboy and Chumchum.

  • M.A.S.K is finally coming to DVD on August 9, 2011!!!

    Give me a thumbs up if you're gonna pick this up.

  • I remember this show, my brother and I loved this cartoon. I was like 6

  • Tenho todos os episódios

  • Does anyone else remember the MASK films they made? They were all about racing and had noting to do with fighting crime. The bad guy from VEMON drove with his twin brother in a car that could spit into two motorbikes and I think Tracker had an F1 car.

  • @Lee303Enfield Yeah I remembered and they sucked.

  • My son loved this stuff.

  • "MASK! Know one knows what's underneath their Masquerades,

    MASK! What's underneath are dudes with regular faces,

    MASK! Helicopters that turn into smaller helicopters,

    MASK! Cars open their doors which sort of makes them airplanes,

    MASK! Do they know, 'Command' doesn't start with a K?...

    MASK! The things they turn into are worse than they were before,

    MASK! Do they sell gas to themselves?

    MASK! The show appears to take place in Arizona or maybe rural Nevada,

    MASK!

  • @Kosyghin LOL robat chicken!

  • Well Kombat also normally begins with a C in Mortal Kombat...who cares ??!! It's a great cartoon....and as a kid you don't actually care how it is written. Did you miss that part in your life?

  • @Deefke76 i used to love masturbating over mask

  • @Kosyghin MASK! We have a kid who's personal safety seems to come second to our mission.

  • The 80's had the best shows!

    Todays cartoons suck!

  • @993ti the 90s had the best shows and todays cartoons do suck

  • yo veia esto cuando tenia 6 años jajajjaja, gracias por el recuerdo!!!

  • the robot chiken parody was funny

  • reminds me of good old days of being a kiddo

  • fuck yeh great show

    

  • ah damn, i thought this was the intro for the other Mask cartoon.

  • One of the most awesome toy lines of the 80's. You can't deny the vehicles were freaking awesome.

  • @andoc ....real talk....My older brother had that Mask City....Man, I used to tear that shit up!

  • i really do miss the old TV shows. TV now a days is utter balls nothing good on!!!

  • Man I Miss The 80's

  • todays cartoon intros don't come even close to this and other 80s cartoon intros

  • These toys were waaaay to small

  • @goldestmean i remember these when they came out....the G.I. joes wouldnt fit into the "mask" vehicles....nor would their helmets fit on them

  • Sooo when is Hollywood gonna make a real live action movie about this cartoon? :P It'll for sure have one of the best theme songs. hehe

  • Check it out M.A.S.K. the Movie on Facebook!

  • somebody get me a time machine because the 80s looks awesome!

  • the song is baddass after 20 yew rs

    this song is still baddass

  • I loved the show and the toys, especially the red car.

  • i love this show! I use to have the truck and home base!!! I love the motorcycle into a helicopter!!! Good times!!!

  • Used to own all the toys lol

  • Thumbs up if this gave you the shivers seeing it for the first time in DECADES!

  • Man, this takes me back. I had the Camero, 57 Chevy, and the motocycle as toys when I was a child.

  • how many times did brad turner run out during band practice or a gig? they probably thought he was on heroin.

  • Oh my god the nostalgia!

  • ...They're helmets. Not masks.

  • @blade10000 yeah, it's like in Return of the Jedi when Leia shows Wicket her HELMET and says, "It's a hat." LOL women!

  • @blade10000 ummmm...Mask stood for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand. Not the helmets they wore TY!

  • @chaksheba ...But command isn't spelled with a K.

  • @blade10000 True but it is in the cartoon lol

  • @blade10000 It is in the cartoon =)

  • I totally forgot about this cartoon until a coworker mentioned it.

    Thumbs up for the awesome vocoder (m-m-m-mask) in the song!

  • Wow how i miss these cartoons...looking at M.A.S.K., Voltron, Transformers, He-man and other 80's cartoons remind me of when I used to bother the heck out of my mom to buy me these things. Then play with them and trade with my friends...lol. Now I am here watching these awesome Intros with my 2 year old son...and hes loving these. He's running around with a bamboo backscratcher saying "THUNDERCATS...HOOOOOO!" LOL.

  • @hiakinproud You should get him checked out; he may be touched.

  • Am I the only one who thinks there should be a classic cartoon channel on sky, MASK, transformers, centurians, the racoons, thunder cats, heathcliff, dogtian, bravestar, count duckula, trapdoor, rude dog and the dweebs, fantastic max,..... I could go on. Fuck me, it'd get millions of viewers!!!

  • anyone who thinks this is actually good is blinded by nostalgia, and will be a bitter old man one day unable to appreciate the world (if not already)

  • @Sadsic

    So we should appreciate shitty TV just because its current?

    You can keep your reality TV and other garbage.

  • @etenightstar OLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDD

  • @Sadsic

    Nope just 30 but I know garbage when I see it.

    One of the most popular current shows is Jersey Shore which is really all that needs to be said lol

  • @Sadsic Since when is it a sin to like old shows or cartoons? Most of them are better than the modern garbage on tv these days. I'm guessing you are reality tv fan.

  • @RetroJenny nope, you have a very black and white view on reality, you should accept you are blind to true quality culture

  • This is INCREDIBLE!!! In fact, I have always preferred this to Transformers ;)

  • Dear god i miss my childhood XD

  • I always hated the kid in the MASK cartoons. I cannot remember his name.  He was the son of the MASK leader. I had always hoped the bad guys would injure him badly or kill him.

  • LMAO "Why do we call these mask by the way? This is a helmet not a mask"

  • @DREKDYALLDAY Mobile. Armored .Strike. Kommand

    

  • @Dates121 Robot .Chicken

  • @DREKDYALLDAY try singing the theme song, but say 'helmet' instead of 'mask' and you will have ur answer

  • this would make a good live movie

  • lasers looked so cool in those days!!

  • God I miss this show...I had all the toys, Thunder-hawk, my doors wouldn't stay up when I hit the button...you can watch a few episodes on this site.

  • Why can´t cartoons these days be more like this....? :(

  • I used to have M.A.S.K toys coming out my ass

  • @bubbaraywoods I had so many of them as well. Even the dumb ones like the giant RV that had the jet that came out the back of it. It started getting lame when they had the ones that would split into two vehicles. I think Vanessa Warfield had a white Lamborghini then instead of her awesome purple car that turned into a jet (which incidentally when I was like 12 or 13 I took apart with a screwdriver and could never get back together all the way) .

  • This is so 80s, in the best possible way.

  • no sign of rocky dennis anywhere ffs

  • a stupid friend of my mother gave away my MASK toys for free to a little brat (the F1 racer and the red main guys car)

    And she said I am childish to still ike this

    old hag D:

  • @rvchrono you should have punched her in the knee

  • I had the big truck helicopter and the black car.

    Those were the days of great cartoons.

  • I was just sleep...and out of nowhere, I was dreaming about this show..I hadn't even thought of this show in years. I don't even know what made me think of it...But I had to find this intro...thanks for the upload.

  • on a side note though, i remember watching the Ghostbusters cartoon and being soooo scared of it that i had nightmares about it.. and i never wanted to watch it again, but typical child everytime it was on, i continued to watch it... lol

  • if only times were simpler... i remember having the action figures to this.. although i think they were like my older brothers.. but i remember the theme tune to this.. i must have cought it sometime in my early child hood, being born in 90... but generally my point is that things like this are awesome compared to the crap they pass as cartoons now adays.. i mean nothing from now compares to biker mice from mars, TMNT, Dexters lab ect..

  • Masked Crusaders, Working Overtime, Fighting Crime, Fighting Crime! Secret Raiders Who Will Neutralize, As Soon As They Arrive, At The Site Trakker's Gonna Lead The Mission, And Spectrum's Got Such Super Vision! M-M-M-M.A.S.K.!! Is The Mighty Power That Can Save The Day! M-M-M-M.A.S.K.!! No One Knows What Lies Behind The Masquerades! M-M-M-M.A.S.K.!! Always Riding Hot On V.E.N.O.M.'s Trail! Come See The Laser Rays! Fire Away!
  • @Cyproduction. cool, really appreciate the words, great lyrics :) man it would be soo cool if a remix was made on that theme song, i can hear it as a dance/techno vibe to it:D seriously i would love that.

  • Lol! Havent seen this in a LONG time! I had MASK bed sheets in the mid 80's.

  • i totally forgot about MASK till i heard the music... cheers

  • This show from my youth always made me wish I had a Trans Am. That was the coolest car in my town.

  • cities of gold!!

  • @coogski

    Omg

    I tottaly forgot all about that, had to search youtube and saw the intro... I got chills allover, Wwooooow!!!!

    thx dude :D

  • The show Robot Chicken does a great spoof of this cartoon.

  • One word: EPIC! 

  • I also used to get up early saturday to watch Mask and other cool cartoons, but if they replaced mask or any other cartoon with my littel pony, then i was mad as hell :D

    Like the whole weekend could be ruined for that hehehe

  • So many cool comments guys:D This stuff is tottaly Epic, loved the 80`s cartoons...

    Just listning to the music at the start of this intro (the synth) So nostalgic...!!

    Shit, LOVIN IT!!

  • hell ya the kids that growed up with these cartoons started 3 wars and a police action

  • @sawmillthug darn right! we've got to steal their energon over there so they don't steal our energon cubes here! freedom isn't free.

  • live action remake coming soon? i really want one but not if it's gonna be a gi gash! should give it to a decent director like???

  • fuck the 80s there was no internet

  • I am still remember this cartoon.

  • i loved m.a.s.k. so much when i was a kid. i had loads of the toys but sold them all for about 20 quid cuz i was stink and wanted to play fruit machines :-( ....... biggest regret of my sorry life! I WANT MY TOYS BACK!!!

  • beltin' simply beltin'

  • Live M.A.S.K re-make with Powers Boothe as Venom. I called it.

  • oh my god i still know all the words to this!!!!! takes me right back love love love it!!!!

  • this takes me back big props to who found this!

  • now this were cartoons, this was the shit, best cartoons ever along with Silver Hawks, G.I. Joe, Voltron, Transformers ect....love this good old days.

  • i remember this cartoon was the shit in my days!!!!! Good to remember this.... brought a HUGE smiel to my face!

    =)

  • @kimchee411 yes sir...!!!

  • Don't get me wrong, there are some really good toons out today. Venture Brothers and Metalocalypse spring to mind. The 90's had some good stuff, too. Batman, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, pretty much any DC Aniverse show. But, this stuff, to me, will always be the best. Real Ghostbusters, G.I. Joe, M.A.S.K., Thundercats, etc. I could go on and on. Since I grew up in the early 80's, I also remember shows like Pac-Man, Trubo Teen, and Voltron. All good, good stuff!

  • the epicness, THE EPICNESSS .... how could have i forgotten about this cartoon, i think it just might have been my favourite for a while

  • is there anywhere to watch full episodes, my fav cartoon growing up!

  • the 80s and early 90s rock

    i feel sorry for kids these days and their crap-ass cartoons

    transformers the animation? WHUAHAHHA

    shit was animated 20 years ago and it looked better too!

  • @uncannysama hell yah, transformers the animation??? wtf? AND THE toys are soo crappy. I thought, with 25 years of technological improvements they would make better stuff than that kiddy crap. The old stuff from the original is ore adult than that.

  • @delli2011 The G1 transformers were so well made compared to the later one's. The late 80's Transformers were terrible plastic junk!

  • @ojideagu i think its because they weren't meant to be transformers at all but borrowed from the late 70's line of japanese figures from other robot toy lines like Diaclone. So called original transformers toys can't even compare...

  • @delli2011 Yes Diaclone basically are transformers with a different paint job. The later "transformers", Generation 2 were probably made by a totally different company hence the cheap look and to save money. Springer and Hotrod are very plasticy compared to all the G1.

  • I also remember this cartoon not many people do. I always thought of it as a cross between transformers and G.I Joe. And yes cartoons today are so stupid. Im just glad they didnt think of barney or spongebob when i was that young we would all be gay!

  • Ah, nostalgia. Excuse me, I've got something in my eye...

  • A great era for action cartoons!

  • Sigh! I'm 33 years old, but I still have some of their toys in a box....I loved this cartoon, and this song is absolutely one of the BEST theme in the Cartoon's history!

  • 'Mobile Action Strike Kommand'

    I never saw any episodes when the show originally aired on TV, but I first found out about M.A.S.K through the United Kingdom Comic Books, and then the DC Comic Versions.

  • I LOVE IT

    in Russia it was just in 2000's :(

    but i like this cartoon! REALLY FUCKIИG LIKE!!!

  • I so remember this. When I'd get home from school, it was M.A.S.K, then Robotech, then Thundercats all in a fuckin' row, man! Then, on Fridays, they'd replace Thundercats with G.I. Joe episodes. Cartoons these days are shit compared to that epicness, let me tell you.

  • @Dorelaxen

    Exactly..

    And that's not even counting the jewels we had on Saturday mornings..

  • @Dorelaxen yes sir..!!!!

  • @Dorelaxen dude i was born in the 90s and this is my fav show ever! i had a video of it when i was a kid. 80s programs are so much better than the crap today woooooooooooooooooooooooop!

  • @Dorelaxen maybe to 8 year old boys... but generally speaking I'd have to say the opposite is true. Cartoons in the 80s were shit compared to what we have today. Spongebob, Samurai Jack, Dexter's Lab, the Fairly Odd Parents, etc are all great shows that work on multiple levels similar to the classic WB Bugs Bunny and gang stuff. They can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. Thundercats was a 30 minute long toy commercial. So was MASK.

  • So, I'm guessing you are an 8 year old boy, since you love SpongeBob? Seriously, SpongeBob and the Fairly Oddparents? What a joke. SB is made for idiots BY idiots, and damn near anything on Nickelodeon cartoon wise caters to pre-schoolers. I'll give you Samurai Jack and Dexter, but quality 'toons today are few and far between. We're here extolling the awesomeness of M.A.S.K, so take your small-dicked trolling back to 4chan.

    This is why I place 99% of Youtube trolls just under pedophiles.

  • @Dorelaxen alright, so, to sum up...

    me = making valid and interesting points. not troll

    you = making infantile insults. troll. worse than a pedophile.

    A little harsh but okay, if you say so.

  • @kalbahamut

    How the fuck is coming here and saying that faggy shit like SpongeBob and Fairly Oddparents is better than our beloved 80's toons valid or interesting? Only valid and interesting in your tiny mind, buddy. Basically what I'm saying here, is GTFO. Asshole commenters not wanted here.

  • @Dorelaxen haha.. omg... are you people serious? Do you jack off to hentai?

  • @Dorelaxen

    true i`m born 97

    and grew up with my brothers tapes of 80`s cartoons ripped from TV :D

    instead of this shit on the TV now these days, Hannah Montana, Phineans ans Ferb, all that shit. I`m so proud.

  • @Dorelaxen And you would break your neck to get home to make sure you didn't miss any of them! Those were the days!

  • @oldskool0035 Fuck yes, dude! When the buses were running late, it was friggin' TORTURE knowingyou might miss the first few minutes of what might be a new episode.

    Then, on Saturday mornings, you'd get up EARLY for even MORE awesome 'toons. Of course, the early 80's were best for this, with stuff like Pac-Man and the video game related cartoons. Real Ghostbusters STILL owns to this day!

  • @Dorelaxen No cartoons or music is epic anymore, no MJ, no Elton John, No Queen, no Bowie, no Elvis, No Bob Marley/Dylan - tell me when was the last time you saw someone with so much appeal. Same with cartoons, MASK, Thundercats, Bravestarr, Ghostbusters, Transformers... the list goes on, good comment bro :)

  • @Dorelaxen didn't u post this same com
