The Mask quotes serve as a reminder of the humor and fun within this earlier comic book adaptation. The Mask follows a shy banker, Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey), who becomes a paranormal playboy after putting on a mask of Loki's effigy. The movie helped make Carrey a household name, earning him a Golden Globe nomination and grossing over $350 million. It was the perfect role for Carrey as he became a live-action cartoon character, pulling off hilarious antics while also spewing out some unforgettable lines that have become iconic.
