I love how when Mr. Ogg turns the Technodrome into a pumpkin, Kraang points it out as if he's run out of fucks to give. He literally sounds like he'd rather just go back to bed and pretend the entire day never happened.
8:50 you can tell Krang's voice can't even take it seriously, when he says "he's turned the Technodrome into a _pumpkin_" you can hear him holding his laugh
He nearly lost it at the end of pumpkin It was like a sort of a muffled laugh that practically escaped completely Really can’t blame him though the line was ridiculous
8:49 "He's turned the Technodrome into a pumpkin..." I absolutely love the way Krang says that line. It's as if he's like, "I can't believe this is what my life has come to."
I mentally read that in the voice phelous does for that quote while I was taking a drink from a water bottle and it made me laugh so hard I accidentally squeezed the bottle too hard, thereby getting way more water than expected, and then getting some down the wrong way when I tried to swallow (not to mention spraying water all over... Well, everything. My shirt and pants, the coffee table, the couch, one of my cats, my fiancee...) and making me cough and have to be slapped on the back by my (now water-sprayed and kinda irritated) fiancee. Conclusion: that was the biggest spontaneous laugh I've had this week, A+!
Krang's reaction to the Technodrome being turned into a pumpkin is priceless. It's a case of "...yeah, sure, why not. My life's already in the toilet."
I will say, Mikey's conversation with Mondo Gecko is one of the rare times when I do believe he's a teenager. Just something about the inflection in "No way!" Lol.

~About the Irma thing, yeah her being bratty about swallowing pills in general without ice cream was stupid but in her defense, LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING EVEN FOR HER!

Donnie might as well have just mixed the antidote in ice cream in the first place if it required her to take that much! ~Ray was HILARIOUS. He is pure 'I don't give a fuck' in animated form. He seems to be the type of person who would stir up shit because FUCK YOU, that's why. And your impression of him was great. ~FAT-A-TELLO: *1024 PEOPLE JUST KILLED*
***** DESPERATE TIMES CALL FOR DESPERATE MEASURES! Ooooooor, it was the only thing the writers could come up with at the last moment. We can only hope that thing was EMPTY and I mean EMPTY when they poured all the ice cream in it because...YUCK.
Nicholas Tosoni Trust me, I know from experience but look at the size of the thing Donnie gave her. That wasn't a PILL. It was like he handed her the bottle the pills CAME IN and told her to swallow THAT! And then we see Mikey pop it open with the ice cream and it makes you think 'DONNIE, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST MAKE HER DRINK IT?!'
In defense of #39, The reason Krang was able to hypnotize them was because the thing Krang was hypnotizing had limited brain power, making him easier to hypnotize.
I remember when parent groups tried to ban this series because it's so VIOLENT AND WILL DESTROY CHILDRENS MINDS...and I'm, "Have you people even watched the same show?!"
I know the pumpkin thing is everyone's favorite topic and this is old but I realized something that makes it funnier. You can hear the voice actor laugh slightly at the end. I think they just took it because it blends in with "kin".
SuperSongbird21 I love how he dubs Bebop “Sir Rocksteady” and vice versa. I’m assuming it’s just an animation error, but it’s funnier to just think that Shredder can’t be bothered to remember who’s who.
Mondo Gecko: Hey, you don't have to be good, Splinter just made you that way. Michelangelo: You're right dude, let's kill people! Me: XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!
Honestly, I would've loved to see Ray Fillet appear in Nickelodeon's TMNT! I think his snarky, laid back, "whatever" type attitude would've been perfect for the show!
I love how Mad Dog McMutt's henchmen look like Moe and Larry but there isn't a Curly. They couldn't even do a proper Three Stooges reference by having a third henchman character.
Christopher Sobieniak Yeah that's when it was officially a sensation. So much so they brought in a million writers because the main writer, david wise, was overwhelmed. They also stopped naming the animation studios in the credits because well they would change in every episode unlike the 1st and 2nd season.
***** It did, I wish I knew who did what on those, I often heard Murkami-Wolf-Swenson had a studio in Dublin but it often looked like they also went to some Korean or Taiwanese studio on many of these too.
Christopher Sobieniak I know i really wish it had consistent animation like thunder cats, and transformers. Though shows did it better because they only got 20 episodes a year with reruns being prominent. Ninja turtles however had a new episode every week day, and instead of rerunning older episodes they gave them a vhs release.....for 20 dollars. I guess it be fine if this was a 11 minute tom and jerry cartoon but outside of the humor ninja turtles is the complete opposite. I really do blame the scheduling for the lack of story arcs from previous seasons. Sometimes quality is better then quantity.
6:46 Also, Bebop and Rocksteady somehow managed to get all that soda and popcorn off of them in a couple of seconds. What did they have a Shamwow on standby?
so Leonardo was D'artangian in his own fantasy? The newest, least experienced Musketeer? When Athos was, I'm pretty sure, the closest thing to a leader the Musketeers had? I mean, Mikey would probably be closer to a D'artangian than an Aramis. Though...Porthos is a good choice for Raph since Porthos is the strongest of the Three Musketeers.
I suppose it has to do with D'Artagnan being the central character of the novel. Would have probably been too deep to make the Turtles match the musketeers in terms of personality. Also, why do they have musketeers costumes matching their color schemes ? Did Splinter actually plan this kind of things ? He could have taught them how to walk past obstacles too...
By then end you could really tell there were desperately trying to stay relevant, the "red sky" seasons trying to ape the aesthetic of Batman the Animated series, and switching Shredder for Lord Dregg because Power Rangers swapped Rita Repulsa Lord Zedd. It certainly isn't the part of the '87 series people look back fondly on.
@@cameronstone4495 Some people like the red sky era, Mark Pellegrini from Adventures in Poor Taste actually felt like seasons 8-10 were an improvement over the last few seasons because of their stronger focus on continuity, superior animation better writing and removal of really asinine plots.
Regarding #38. One time at the thrift store I found a VHS of this episode that was supposed to come with a talking bear that interacted with signals from the tape and TV tube. Needless to say, we didn't have the talking bear. The host segments were this random guy who talked about Mardi Gras and "answered" things, and it was full of weird, awkward pauses. It was hilarious! If you ever find something like that, buy it and find a way to watch it!
Honestly, I think if shredder had found grasscutter it would’ve made more sense but the writers of the show probably didn’t know a thing about Japanese mythology
In fairness to Krang, I think he mentions the creature he hypnotizes has limited brain power, which I assume could mean they aren't very intelligent. Maybe humans are too smart for him to hypnotize ?
31 how you described Ray's attitude is spot on 30 I chuckled at the Fatatello part hohoho! 29 Ok....bye Merlin Wah-wah 28 I liked this episode a lot but yea I think Michelangelo is remembering the story wrong 27 yea it seems like this storyline seems to be them jumping-the-shark duuuuuuuuu 26 We have to do nothing yea!!
This is actually where I decided to watch TMNT for the first time. And I've pretty much came to all of them except the 90s movies and Next Mutation. The IDW comics are my favorite take. So thanks for pulling me into the sewer.
Krang says that hypnotizing them will be simple because of their limited brain power. Interesting fact, though, it's actually harder to hypnotize stupid people because they aren't as good at paying attention or following instructions.
The mondo gecko thing is a TERRIBLE LESSON FOR KIDS.......honestly even if your upbringing is partly responsible for how bad or whatever you are, you STILL HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!!! They SHOULD have used that chance to teach kids about being held accountable for your actions but at least taking into account how you were brought up and cutting you some slack for it
Or make it so that X was forcing Mondo to break the law when he clearly doesn't like being a villain. Mikey then offers a hand in friendship and Mondo eventually gains the courage to stand up to X and helps the Turtles defeat him.
For Number 28, you could argue as Shredder was probably didn't have prior knowledge of the full effects of the mutagen so he could of sent Mr X to check if the mutagen ended Splinter or finish the job but as Mr X is a gangster he probably ran away when Splinter returned and just picked up the gecko to see how things play out with the mutagen. As for the rest of the stupidity, I can agree with that.
With the 87 cartoon now airing (at 12AM, but its still something) on Nicktoons in my neck of the woods, it's time I reminded myself how silly this cartoon was. And I actually watched this on VHS tapes when I was little (these VHS tapes were given to us by a neighbor who's kid(s) used to be into TMNT back in the 90s, I was technically part of the generation that grew up with the 4Kids TMNT cartoon)
This was never mentioned until that point, making it even more pointless, because if it was mentioned earlier, he would have hypnotised Bebop and Rocksteady, considering that they lack the brains to do anything.
11:35 - All hail King Shredder, First of his Name, King of the Foot Clan, the Mutants, and the Rock Men! Warden of Dimension X and the Earth! Shredder of Turtles, and Capturer of April!
and then we learnt Leo's VA has played a muskateer like a billion times.... Well I think ANYONE would find the pumpkin line ridiculous 🤣so i can't blame him trying to hold in that laugh Ray seems like a great character 😂
On no. 34 My faviorite part of the merry go around is that it wasnt even at the top setting the lever was clearly in the middle. So if the middle speed makes it fly I want to know what the top speed does.
I don't know why no one ever talks about the 2003 TMNT series. It was awesome (save for one too many episodes of broody Leonardo being all "What if I'm not a good leader? Brood, brood, brood.")
All things considered, the various anime series for the Yugioh franchise and the Pokemon anime series are still pretty good despite being managed and distributed by 4kids. If anything the only thing they ever really ruined was One Piece and apparently Shaman King but One Piece was redubbed and released in english in it's uncensored form so the 4kids version of One Piece isn't really a problem anymore. Also, the western animated shows that they've had a hand in distributing like Chaotic and the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are pretty good too. Just thought it was worth mentioning.
Lady Marmalade The funniest thing? Pretty much half of ALL TH-cam comments involving TMNT are "why doesn't anyone talk about the 2003 version? I love that version."
Lady Marmalade he has actually talked about it all in his turtles forever and trans-dimensional turtles reviews and he said he enjoyed it. Mostly seasons 1-4 as things got pretty silly afterwards
So, Mad Dog is the first of those trans-species creeps. Also, shouldn't Merlin look *younger* than he is in the original tale? In the book, Merlin lives through time in reverse (hours and minutes progress normally, but he would go from Sunday to Saturday and then to Friday) and is immortal.
I love how when Mr. Ogg turns the Technodrome into a pumpkin, Kraang points it out as if he's run out of fucks to give. He literally sounds like he'd rather just go back to bed and pretend the entire day never happened.

If this was about The Next Mutation, you couldn't narrow it down to 40.
After all, most of Next Mutation has dumbest moments (mostly because of Michelangelo).
To be fair to Leo in the first one, this was pretty much their first time interacting on the surface, and the guy did say "CUT the cards".
So he was taking literally then?
Seems likely
Still a silly moment though regardless

This is actually where I decided to watch TMNT for the first time. And I've pretty much came to all of them except the 90s movies and Next Mutation. The IDW comics are my favorite take.
So thanks for pulling me into the sewer.
Krang says that hypnotizing them will be simple because of their limited brain power. Interesting fact, though, it's actually harder to hypnotize stupid people because they aren't as good at paying attention or following instructions.
This review said Diamonds! The Diamonds my God!
The mondo gecko thing is a TERRIBLE LESSON FOR KIDS.......honestly even if your upbringing is partly responsible for how bad or whatever you are, you STILL HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!!! They SHOULD have used that chance to teach kids about being held accountable for your actions but at least taking into account how you were brought up and cutting you some slack for it
Or make it so that X was forcing Mondo to break the law when he clearly doesn't like being a villain. Mikey then offers a hand in friendship and Mondo eventually gains the courage to stand up to X and helps the Turtles defeat him.
For Number 28, you could argue as Shredder was probably didn't have prior knowledge of the full effects of the mutagen so he could of sent Mr X to check if the mutagen ended Splinter or finish the job but as Mr X is a gangster he probably ran away when Splinter returned and just picked up the gecko to see how things play out with the mutagen. As for the rest of the stupidity, I can agree with that.
#36 really showcases why I never understand everyone's obsession with Irma. She's just so vapid, winy, and idiotic.
Agreed, she's worse than that wailing pussy, Vernon.
Your pet chihuahua doesn't give a shit about how many dog treats stolen bank notes can buy.
This two part video is what got me into your channel. I just can't stop watching this two part movie!
10:59 ROTFL XD Star Trek's "Amok Time" theme ( Kirk vs. Spock) ^__^
With the 87 cartoon now airing (at 12AM, but its still something) on Nicktoons in my neck of the woods, it's time I reminded myself how silly this cartoon was. And I actually watched this on VHS tapes when I was little (these VHS tapes were given to us by a neighbor who's kid(s) used to be into TMNT back in the 90s, I was technically part of the generation that grew up with the 4Kids TMNT cartoon)
For the mind control serum, they should have had someone taste it and then say some cliche shit like, "It's just ranch dressing."
For #39 Krang did specify that hypnotism only worked on the weak minded
This was never mentioned until that point, making it even more pointless, because if it was mentioned earlier, he would have hypnotised Bebop and Rocksteady, considering that they lack the brains to do anything.
@@ChaseMC215 He didn't need to hypnotize them because they already obeyed his orders.
Cam Clarke is basically Liquid Snake as a musketeer lol
11:40 - I LOVED this episode. It tought me about iridium and its properties.
I love the show but I could make a drinking game out of them saying turtle power and turtles fight with honor
i would have liked the three musketeers episode if i had watched this on regular basis when i was kid because i read hte book when i was teenager
11:35 - All hail King Shredder, First of his Name, King of the Foot Clan, the Mutants, and the Rock Men! Warden of Dimension X and the Earth! Shredder of Turtles, and Capturer of April!
and then we learnt Leo's VA has played a muskateer like a billion times....
Well I think ANYONE would find the pumpkin line ridiculous 🤣so i can't blame him trying to hold in that laugh
Ray seems like a great character 😂
11:49 To be fair its not the first time a ninja found Excalibur in an 80s cartoon. (hello Storm Shadow)
I could see Leo growing armor, if said armor actually looked like it was growing from Leo’s shell
I don't think a Ninja is going to turn down a magic sword regardless of where it comes from.
Huh, I guess The Thing and the Turtles shop at the same disguise store.
On no. 34 My faviorite part of the merry go around is that it wasnt even at the top setting the lever was clearly in the middle. So if the middle speed makes it fly I want to know what the top speed does.
About the moment with the Technodrome stuck in the toilet: The funny thing is that in Russian the name "Saki" sounds like a slang word for urine.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The show lasted for about 10 seasons, of course it had some incredibly stupid moments.
I don't know why no one ever talks about the 2003 TMNT series. It was awesome (save for one too many episodes of broody Leonardo being all "What if I'm not a good leader? Brood, brood, brood.")
Because 4kids is why
+Poever If that's the case, that's stupid. They only neutered anime.
All things considered, the various anime series for the Yugioh franchise and the Pokemon anime series are still pretty good despite being managed and distributed by 4kids. If anything the only thing they ever really ruined was One Piece and apparently Shaman King but One Piece was redubbed and released in english in it's uncensored form so the 4kids version of One Piece isn't really a problem anymore. Also, the western animated shows that they've had a hand in distributing like Chaotic and the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are pretty good too. Just thought it was worth mentioning.
Lady Marmalade The funniest thing? Pretty much half of ALL TH-cam comments involving TMNT are "why doesn't anyone talk about the 2003 version? I love that version."
Lady Marmalade he has actually talked about it all in his turtles forever and trans-dimensional turtles reviews and he said he enjoyed it. Mostly seasons 1-4 as things got pretty silly afterwards
So, Mad Dog is the first of those trans-species creeps.
Also, shouldn't Merlin look *younger* than he is in the original tale?
In the book, Merlin lives through time in reverse (hours and minutes progress normally, but he would go from Sunday to Saturday and then to Friday) and is immortal.
Man... The Rat King really needs to get better treatment than what he had in this show.
Sure did in the 2012 series
