(No, you're Donatello, with a sai. Who wrote your lines?), etc. Countless nods to the green dudes. I'm a huuuuuuuge fan of Full House, so every time I see one of those scenarios I get a brief flush of giddy excitement. Lame, but it is what it is.

Taken from the thread I mentioned earlier. It was a Cheers mention that turned into pop references.

Maybe a mod could put that thread into this one? Then we'd have a big 'ol amount of spottings!

just saw a new episode of '"breaking in" on Fox and it was about protecting a copy of goonies 2 at comic con. turns out the person who stole the dvd at the con was a person in a tmnt mikey costume. they had him towards the end doing a showdown and nun chucking one of the stars of the show. was pretty funny and I enjoyed that hahaha.

Icelandic Rapper Bent made a song called "1 2 Jesus" about not getting TMNT toys or video games or TMNT clothes for Christmas, turning him atheist.

Robot Chicken did Senior Mutant Ninja Turtles which featured Splinter dying of old age.
Robot Chicken did another joke where Joey Fatone, trained by Pat Morita was fighting the four Turtles and had to guess which one was voiced by Corey Feldman (voice of Donatello in TMNT 1 and 3). The Turtles then shout "Awesome", "Radical", "Reaganomics", followed by Donatello saying "Clean? Sober? Back on Television? Things are looking up for the Feldmeister."

Thanks, I took care of it.

Oh wow!! Stephanie did the "Cut it out" thing!! Anyone remember the show "Out of Control"? Used to air on Nickelodeon back in the 80s and Dave Coulier was the host of it. He'd do the "cut it out" thing on there a lot.

Spoiler:

Man, this song has always cracked me up. Hokey? Yes. Repetitive? Yes. Hilarious? Yes.

At least Chris Rice didn't go the route of Phil Phillips and Joan Hake Robie, lol.

*Weapon X* · 05-05-2011, 11:06 AM

What about references in fellow cartoons?

Like the time The Muppet Babies dressed as them. I cant find the name of the episode, a clip, or even another picture. I only saw this episode once, in re runs.

And then there's the "Real Ghostbusters" episode "Mean Green Teen Machine", which aired October 6, 1990. It concerns three teenage, pizza-loving spirits, who come to party in New York and end up in the Ghostbusters dreams. One of them was actually voiced by Cam Clarke.

Spoiler:

Wow, this is my favorite episode of Muppet Babies, ever! The musical parodies were so memorable. And Kermit looked awesome as a ninja turtle!

That guy makes a good point....wait...

Well...lets see.

Of course there's the Animaniac episode Hooked on a Ceiling which talks about Michelangelo being annoyed by the Warners.

Oddly enough the Turtle is voiced by Rob "Raphael" Paulsen

And then there's the Super Mario Super Show episode Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas where the Koopa Kids become well...Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas.

I saw a little tribute thing on Oprah (I was
Flipping through channels), showing a few movies and TV shows that reference her show. Towards the middle, they show the scene from SOTO where Raphael asks if Oprah's on.

Does that count as a reference, or just a sighting?

I guess it leans toward the latter, but still...

Heh, I find it amusing that I posted a coupla times in there... and totally forgot about it.

Proper loving the Muppets one!

Yes, Full House had tons of TMNT references. Actually, Becky's nephew, Howie, says he's Raphael The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and calls Michelle Shredder. Then when Becky's trying to tell Jesse she's pregnant, they're playing Pictionary. When she says the clue is about a movie, Michelle blurts out, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." I always loved those references.

I've already posted one of these, but here are some tmnt references in famous youtube videos:

yeah.... I wasn't really sure whether I should put them there, but I figure even if they don't really count- they're still something.

Hey everyone, I'm making a page on my website showcasing as many moments as anyone can remember in different TV shows where the TMNT have been referenced in some way. If anybody would like to help me do some research, please PM me.
