OKAY," is my new philosophy on life. And second, Fred is way, way too stupid for Barney to be doing this for fun. There is no sport in tricking a person this gullible. In one commercial, Barney simply puts on a Run–D.M.C. hat and barges into Fred's home, rapping. Barney has the same face, voice, and a-line dress of Fred's friend of many years and the man's first question is still, 'WHO ARE YOU!?'"

"Does the Master only dress up in these outrageous disguises so he can see the look on the Doctor’s face when he transforms? Has he spent entire years/decades/centuries in ridiculous guises waiting for his nemesis to show up (I guess so if you count his stint as a scarecrow in The Mark of the Rani)? A more post-modern show would have run with the running gag of the Doctor trying to pull the mask off every fake looking villain thinking it was his arch enemy."
"Oh, that’s rubbish. His mask looks exactly like him, so why even bother? I bet he isn’t called the Master because he’s a master of disguise, that’s for sure."
