Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

[sodamntired]

working at Target one day, i rang up an interesting purchase...volume 4 of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, only this wasn't the weak version they are pushing on children today, nope, this was the original animated series from the late 80s/early 90s.

 

having fond memories, i went to the entertainment section and picked up the only copy we (target) has...and i have been watching this dvd every free moment i have, and i've got to tell you, there is so much comedy in this that there is no way i appreciated when i was a child.

 

my favorite bit that i can pass on is after the turtles have reversed a machine created by Shredder and Krang that was flooding the city, it begins to suck the water back up

 

Raphael: "hey, the water is receding!"

Michaelangelo: "what clue told you that?"

 

okay, probably not as funny reading this as it is...so let's try this one

 

Krang about to tell Shredder the story of how an alien gem made it to Earth

 

"Do you have time for a flashback?"

"absolutely"

 

and on the newspaper editor's birthday, he is talking to his much younger girlfriend

 

"so how old are you baby?"

"i am fifff....i am fifff...i am thirty-something."

 

so i've got to tell you, if you remember this animated gem from your youth, definetly look for a copy. its a trip back to a time that you have probably forgot.

I loved the original Ninja Turtles, I grew up on that stuff.

[Guest jsunC]

yeh i was obsessed with ninja turtles as a child. I downloaded a couple of episodes, and surprisingly enough i remember most them

[Hyphnip]

I'll always remember when Shredder thought he was Michelangelo. that was great!

[Shiri]

I had bed sheets of the Ninja Turtles!

Did you guys know that Shredder was voiced by Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince of Bel-air.

[Muran]

I could see that...Guy has a scary voice.

[Shiri]

Really? That puts Shredder in a completely new light.

Bebop & Rocksteady!

I had a load of figures from the original cartoon.

The fact that it started in the 80s and I remember it quite well makes me feel kind of old though.

Sadly, I think I knew that in the back of my brain. I think it was in the file; "Things-Will-Not-Only-Not-Help-You-Get-Laid-But-Will-Infact-Hinder-Said-Laying."
