Recap / The Mask S 2 E 28 Convention Of Evil

Go To

A Clip Show-cum-Bottle Episode in which Pretorius, Gorgonzola, Lonnie the Shark and Pete, Bob (The Devil from "Boogie with the Man"), The Tempest, and The Stinger discuss the many times The Mask has thwarted their heinous plans while in a group therapy session held by Dr. Neuman.

Tropes

  • A Day in the Limelight: The Mask appears in this one entirely who is disguised as Dr Neuman and it shows how smart and clever he is by posing as someone else he knows from Stanley's memories along with the fact that he can control himself entirely while being in a room full of his enemies.
  • Bottle Episode: This entire episode takes place entirely in one place with only flashbacks from the previous episodes the only thing that departs from the meeting room.
  • Cast as a Mask: Ben Stein plays The Mask who is posing as Dr Neuman but when the reveal happens Rob Paulsen plays The Mask again.
  • Clip Show: As the villains explain how they meet The Mask and how they were defeated by him the clips from their episodes show up to explain what they are talking about.
  • Master Actor The Mask does a brilliant job of acting like Dr. Neuman with him coping his voice, his height and his mannerisms which is justified as he has Stanley’s memories to help him play as him and it works perfectly as he manages to get all the villains to be fooled until the real Dr. Neuman calls Pretorius along with that he controls himself entirely while in disguise which shows that The Mask knows when not to go all wild and crazy all the time.
  • The Reveal: At the end of the episode it’s revealed that Dr. Neuman, who was overseeing the villains’ group therapy, was The Mask in disguise the entire time. The real Dr. Neuman called Pretorius to let him know he was stuck in traffic.
    Pretorius: You… are an imposter!
    Dr. Neuman: (in The Mask’s voice as he rips off the disguise) Well, it’s about time you figured it out, genius!
  • Villain Team-Up: Pretorius brings all the villains here so that they can team up against The Mask but they are weary and tired having to deal with him which is also why Pretorius brings Dr Neuman so that they can have a therapy session but however in the middle of it Dr Neuman turns out to be The Mask in disguise which shows just pointless having meetings with other villains is if The Mask knows where they are and what they are planning.
  • Wham Shot: During their group therapy session with Dr. Neuman , Pretorius suddenly gets a phone call… from Dr. Neuman, who’s been stuck in traffic, meaning the one the villains have been with this whole time is an imposter; The Mask.
