Here's a good tactic to put the evil mastermind off side. When you've been captured are about to be subjected to the inevitable megalomaniacal evil villain monologue, taunt the villain! Rattle off a list of how incompetent and stupid he is, and how all his plans are pathetic, and how his underlings are ripping off his evil villain employee pension plan behind his back.

Even better if you can keep this rant up for a good five minutes without letting the villain get a word in edgeways. We guarantee that your GM will be impressed with your roleplaying skills.
