I'll have one medium humor, dark please. No sugar.

I remember that PSA from way back when. Remember thinking the blasphemous proposition, "What?! He DOESN'T like pizza?!" Of course this was in my younger, more TMNT-indoctrinated days.

upvote for him totally jamming out to the TMNT themesong.

Ah, nothing like ripping off TMNT... cowabunga... seriously? Did the comics mate or something? Also youd think by now theyd have come up with a way to properly dub over AHHHnolds speech so it actually matches his mouth...

Hrmm, I wonder what's German for cowabunga? Hilariously rad post dudes & dudettes....

Looris, would I be right in guessing you were one of the unlucky kids who happened to have lived in a country where it was called "Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles", for super anal-retentive political correctness, eh? Is it true that Mikey never once used his nunchucks (apparently ninjas and nunchucks = bad) in that version? Man, I feel for the psychological well-being of your inner child!

On another note, I'm really peeved right about now that my parents donated to goodwill my treasure trove of TMNT action figures and playsets without my consent!

OOoohh yeah, the original! (to me anyway). I'm with the rest of you, I don't get cartoons these days... and this from a guy that grew up on talking turtles.

I think I still have the TMNT Pizza Thrower toy though... best invention ever! Battery operated projectile launcher yeah!

Ghostbusters > TMNT 4LYFE!

Actually, Norsuelefantti, it kinda does. "Heroes in a half-shell" is an alliterative pun referencing one of the two shells (not actually two layers, but two sides covering one organism) for a typical mollusk. Oysters, for example, are sometimes served with one half of the shell left on, with the other half removed for easy access. This is known as serving oysters "on the half shell". So whoever wrote this song is referencing the fact that the TMNT have large shells on their backs.

I know, I know, turtles aren't mollusks, but c'mon. TMNT is a cartoon show about mutated, anthropomorphic turtles with a vigilante streak who subsist on pizza and practice ninjutsu. I think the song writers are allowed to take some poetic license.

Hehe. I'm kind of embarassed about what I said.
I was actually an enormous fan of TMNT as a kid before the live action flick was released. (I even spent a lot of my elementary school days endlessly drawing the turtles on any blank paper I could find.) I saw every episode of the original cartoon, but haven't seen it since and my most recent re-exposure to them aside from the new cgi animated theater release was the original movie. I guess I forgot what it was to be a TMNT fan.

Please forgive me for what I said. It just wasn't right. And I'm sorry.

You are the wind beneath my wings, Gorgonheap. One day, I will tell my children about how their newfangled cartoons will never measure up to the oldschool TMNT. They will look at me like I'm old geezer, and I will simply shake my head and mutter about how young kids don't understand.

Lucky is probably one of those TMNT poseurs whose first exposure was the 1990 feature film. The movie had an origin sequence showing Splinter as a rat who was *already* practicing ninja arts beside his master before discovering the baby turtles. So not only was he a rat in the first place, he apparently didn't need to mutate before becoming a talking ninja rat.

*JK about the poseur thing bud.

lol what a sight.

let's see what they are:
1) ???
2) back to the future (first, i guess)
3) bubble bobble
4) friday 13th
5) ghostbusters (first)
6) ghost'n'goblins
7) ???
??? I knew that, I forgot
9) super mario bros
X) tmnt (first)

Where's the original without TMNT song???! Downvote for the song!

"The proportions are all over the place."

Yeah, and Megatron's two story body transforming into a P38 pistol that fits into Starscream's hand is much better. Along with Optimus's disappearing trailer.

I'm a fan of G1 myself, but this movie still looks awesome. Be glad they understand their target audience is in their 20's (as opposed to TMNT and Thunderbirds... the people who watched them as kids are now in their teens and 40's, respectively, and yet they make kiddy movies out of both of them).
