How come this article doesn't mention the film Mask? I'm pretty sure the whole point of this episode was that the "monster" loved Cher as she was portrayed in that film as the loving mother of a similarly deformed kid... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.53.49 ( talk) 20:34, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

This initial edit is just to open the review. I will submit comments in due course, probably later today, after a thorough reading of the subject article. Super Mario Man 03:23, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Why is there no mention of the obvious similarities to David Lynch's 1980 film The Elephant Man? I found them obvious on my first viewing, and I think there was once a section here which mentioned them. At least two lines of dialogue in the episode are lifted directly from the film, and the episode's score is remarkably similar to the music used in the film's opening and closing credits sequence. In addition, several shots in the episode mirror shots in the film, and The Great Mutato shares some obvious physical similarities with The Elephant Man's titular character.

Nobody in his right mind could consider this episode anything by the worst of crap that ever tainted recording material of any kind. Incredibly cheesy, deliberately bad, campy and fake. With tears wrenched and really nasty false social values pushed hard. (“A ugly mutant must be given special treatment and is worth most! Fuck everyone healthy!" Seriously?? How distorted must one’s view be, to think such evil thoughts?*) Garnished with horrible pointless music to top it off. (A surefire sign of a stinker.)
So that “consistently highest ratings” is either a very obvious lie, or you asked in an area primarily inhabited by people who think they are just as ugly monsters/failures**. (And probably really are.)
You should be ashamed of yourselves!

* & ** INB4 those types launching blind thought-free rage mode to defend their own irrational belief in those sick, perverse and anti-social “social values”.
Not cool gang, massive plot spoilers in the themes section, I get the relevance, but it's def out of place here... 77.7.62.121 ( talk) 21:20, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
