The Mask cartoon series

Remember The Mask cartoon series that used to air on Cartoon Network back in the mid-late 90s? Rob Paulsen voiced the main character, The Mask/Stanley.

It was a pretty funny cartoon. You could say that The Mask was kinda like a superhero, but he only defeated bad guys for the lulz of it and not because he wanted to save the city. As a kid I found it pretty funny and awesome how he'd just drive the bad guys nuts with his shenanigans. And ofc, Rob Paulsen being his VA only made him funnier

I've heard the comic was quite different, though. That it was pretty dark and putting the mask on makes Stanley commit crimes such as rape and murder. Obviously you didn't see any of that in the animated series. All the mask did to Stanley in the cartoon series was pretty much turn him into a practical jokester, that helped him defeat bad guys. I guess you could say this was the Fred Wolf version of this franchise?

Also, who doesn't remember "SOMEBODY STOP ME!" AND "SMOKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN'!". That sh*t sounded cool as hell to me back when I was a kid.
