Easter Egg Hunt

[Dirty Blond]

One of the more enjoyable aspects of this show is all the Easter Eggs in each episode. I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread where we can collect them.

So, if you find an Easter Egg, drop it in this basket.

[Powder]

Been meaning to make this thread myself, actually, I as I noticed this Mutagen Man cameo the other day...
The comic book on the right-hand side, bottom corner. There's no doubt about it, it's Mutagen Man.

Obvious references to past TMNT incarnations:

1. Mike's 80's toon face was shown when he joked about getting a tattoo on his face.

2. Mikey saying, "That was us!" during the origin tale in episode 1 was a throwback to his Movie 1 line.

3. Don asking, "Is that the Shredder?" followed by Raph's, "Well its definitely A Shredder," felt like a 2k3 reference of there being multiple Shredders.

4. The Kraang have their name inspired by Krang himself.

[ToTheNines]

You're an idiot.

[Dirty Blond]

The Mirage Vol I, Issue I pose at the very end of the opening theme.

[Kevin G]

While this was already mentioned, I figured I throw an egg myself:

Wolf Hotel a nod to Fred Wolf, an executive producer to the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

[Irishmile]

I love the idea of this thread... Some of these are not so much easter eggs and just bits of trivia.

Ciro has said the guy on the pizza box is modeled after his father who owned and operated a pizza shop when he was growing up.

The Shop owner that April tricks information out of by pretending to be undercover is actually located just a block away from her father's shop... because we can see it on the next street over.

if I remember correctly in one of the episodes we can see Shredder looking out his window and there seems to be buildings with the same decorative windows as the building as April's neighborhood.. indicating Shredder is probably operating nearby.

[CyberCubed]

You're an idiot.

You know good and well them referring to Shredder as, "a" Shredder, when that has never been done before in any other series, felt like a reference. There probably won't be any other Shredders in the Nick show, so it felt like a reference to me.

[Cure]

He meant a shredder referring to all the metal and blades he was wearing. He who shreds. Stop reaching.

[renegadez21]

Good eye, Jester.

[CyberCubed]

April wearing a yellow shirt is probably a nod to the OT, while the red hair is due to it being her standard hair color in animation now.

Just be thankful April never had curly black hair like in the early mirage comics in the shows.

[Jester]

Leo wears a blue bandana.

Mikey likes pizza.

Donnie is like smart and stuff.

Raph is voiced by Sean Astin....wait...

[CyberCubed]

They also mentioned Baxter worked in the TCRI building. Hopefully that wasn't just a throwaway line.

Would love to see the Utroms in the TCRI building and then have them battle the Kraang.

[Jester]

Cubed....you do know what a "Easter egg" is, right?

[Powder]

Cube stop being a dummy. This is for subtle nods, not recurring themes.

[CyberCubed]

The TCRI name-dropping could be nothing more than an Easter egg. It depends if the writers actually do anything with it.

[Topsu]

Mutated pigeon's name was Pete, like Mikeys pet pigeon in 1987 series. (episode: What's Michelangelo good for)

I gotta ask, could Pete also be a subtle nod to Don's pigeon puppet from the Mirage books and the 4kids series?

Best thread after the gif thread.

[Jephael]

I'm surpised nobody's yet to mention Wolf Hotel where the Turtles had their first battle with Shredder, a clever nod to Fred Wolf!

I agree, while I understand it's an Easter Egg, I would have never seen something as small as that on the screen.

[Bjarni]

My favorite nods thus far have been Mr. Murakami and Wolf Hotel.

According to wikipedia, April's dad is named Kirby..
and I feel he kinda looks like Peter Laird...

[Dirty Blond]

I feel he kinda looks like Peter Laird...

Or, Ron Howard.

[Zarana-X]

The "Mad Wax" record store (I've seen it in at least 2 episodes) is a reference to Mad Max. It uses the same font as the Movie Poster and promo stuff (videos, posters, album) from the first movie.

i wouldn't call that an easter egg so much as an easter bunny hopping around performing roundhouse kicks saying, "I'M BASED ON CHUCK MUH-FUHN NORRIS!"

:lol:

[pannoni1]

This thread reminds me of the "Pop Culture References" section of the attempt to reference thread on the OT forum.

Well, my contribution to this thread is that on the episode "Metalhead", after Donatello suggests to play the video game Combat (an Atari game from 1977), sounds heard include those from the game Asteroids.

[Kevin G]

I'm not sure if this counts as an Easter Egg, considering it's dialog and may be a reference to the OTS but,

in the episode The Turtle Terminator, when Rocksteady and Bebop kidnap Irma, and bring her to the warehouse where she sees Shredder and and The Turtle Terminator is activated by Shredder to copy Irma, as The Turtle Terminator approaches her, Irma says "look fellows, I'm not into heavy metal!"

In the episode Metalhead, when Metalhead and April are on the rooftop, Donnie asks through Metalhead (to break the awkwardness of starting at her and saying out loud how beautiful she is) he asks :laughs: "so you like heavy metal ?"

[ToTheNines]

Donnie's helmet being a hockey helmet is most likely a nod to Rob Paulsen being an avid hockey fan.

[Cure]

Don't get all cubedy on us, man.

[ToTheNines]

Lol, I suppose that could be a stretch. But they do stuff like that in the show believe it or not. Mikey's skateboard has a Cipes and the People (Greg's band) sticker on it.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Thanks for pointing out some of these hidden gems, I actually missed some of these.

Love the Mutagen man cameo the best!

[Dirty Blond]

You know, I don't think we had any EEs in the most recent new ep.

[cofi]

http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/8482/jonesmouser.jpg

Maybe a references to Casey and mousers.

[pannoni1]

In "Mousers Attack", we had Irma trying to contact April right before it got smashed. We also had the "B-Team" (The A-Team as in the crime franchise was mentioned), as well as calling Baxter Stockman Dexter in reference to Dexter's Laboratory. Let's not forget the T-Phone's ringtone sounding like the classic theme.

[vagrant718]

There's an exact pose for the gameboy cover but I cant find it. As you can see the turtles are in the same exact position, Leo across from mike, don across from raph

good fun irma was calling april on her cell! today

[Powder]

All of that is wrong, except for the cell-phone bits. Dexter's Lab? Are you kidding me? & those poses are not at all related.

[Ninjawolf]

All of that is wrong, except for the cell-phone bits. Dexter's Lab? Are you kidding me? & those poses are not at all related.

It makes sense in context :P Both Baxtor and Dexter are nerdy nerds who are nerds who happen to be genius' with machines

[Powder]

That's forced though. Dexter & Baxter are easy names to mix up.

[ToTheNines]

Don't feed the dummies, Powder.

[Cure]

These people think they're Reed Richards with the way they STRETCH.

HAHAHA, AM I RIGHT, GUYS?

Yeah, I'm right.

[Redrumh2o]

Anyone else notice that whenever someone bursts through a wall they say "OH YEAH!" Like the Kool-Aid man? It has happened at least 2 times so far.....very amusing!

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, and it's been Baxter both times. I loved the Irma calling April Easter Egg though I didn't catch it right away.

[hadoolket]

wait, what? i missed an irma easter egg?!

[CyberCubed]

Is Baxter working for Shredder in all 3 cartoons an easter egg? Baxter has nothing to do with Shredder in the comics, not even in the IDW series.

[Avatar Yuffie]

wait, what? i missed an irma easter egg?!

Before April's phone was destroyed, it was receiving a call from Irma.

That's not what an Easter Egg is. It just happens because it's convenient for the writers.

[CyberCubed]

Leatherhead's origin was actually almost the same as the Mirage/4kids one. Only difference of course is the Kraang are evil but the Utroms treated Leatherhead with compassion.

[ToTheNines]

*facepalm* Again, not an Easter Egg. They just used a reworked version of his previously established origin story.

[Jester]

I can't believe no one has said Splinter is Hamato Yoshi just like in the Fred Wolf and Archie.

Before people post on this thread, I think they should read on what an Easter Egg is. Not that they will read it anyway, and just continue to post whatever hits their fingertips:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_egg_%28media%29

[cryan]

I haven't seen the episode Monkey Brains so I watched it on Nick.com. There is a scene where April comes into the living area of the lair and Donny quickly flips over the grease board and on the reverse side is a poster for Space Heroes 3 the Resurrection of someone. It bares a striking resemblance to the Star trek 3 movie poster.

[darthsmozers]

I dont think this has been mentioned but apologies if I overlooked it. In The Gauntlet when Shredder appears on the rooftop, was his pose the same as when he first encountered the turtles in the Mirage books? Also the same or similar pose to the same appearance in Turtles Forever?

[Topsu]

Mikey's suggestion for Rat King's name: Verminator.

[CyberCubed]

Hm, I wonder if Verminator really was a reference, the character is very obscure and Verminator is a name used for characters like this.

I would hope the people from Nick read Archie, gives me hope to see Armaggon.

fxZGQtUi7tQ

As far as Armaggon is concerned, I can take him or leave him.

[CyberCubed]

That doesn't mean they've read through the whole series though. Verminator X doesn't appear until more than halfway into the series.

Armaggon is probably the best underused mutant character in the franchise.

[Jephael]

Armaggon is probably the best underused mutant character in the franchise.

He's a little too predictable a villian for my tastes. "Ooh a mutant shark with missle launchers mounted on his back. He must be evil!"

When I was 10 years old I thought Armaggon was the coolest thing I've ever seen. Any 10 year old boy watching the show would love a shark mutant who shoots missiles and comes from the future.

What a shame he was created so late that he was never considered for a toy or the cartoon.

[Luzmagica]

I think there is a small bowlfish with a pink palm tree when Splinter is talking about Rat King trying to control his mind.... maybe an easter egg for Slash????

[Donatello19]

You have no room to put down someone's suggestion when a couple of pages ago, you considered throw-away lines full on Easter eggs.

[snake]

Armaggon should appear and get a toy, and I want my laser shark mutants :tgrin::tgrin::tgrin::tgrin::tgrin::tgrin:
If he does appear should they also bring in the whole future story with one eyed Raph or give him his own story?

[CyberCubed]

You have no room to put down someone's suggestion when a couple of pages ago, you considered throw-away lines full on Easter eggs.

But what are the chances of the Nick writers actually reading through a comic based on a cartoon from 20 years ago? They may have checked out a few random issues here and there, I doubt they read through it all.

The TMNT universe is huge now. They probably read through a lot of the Mirage material, and watched many episodes of both the original toon and 4kids series, and probably seen all the movies, but other than that I'm sure they didn't read everything.

[Jester]

Cubed, they brought back freakin' Pete the Pigeon. I completely forgot there was a Pete the Pigeon....I think the reference to "The Verminator" is an Easter egg.

[Jephael]

Anyway i am proud to say that i am one of the few people who have read all Mirrage comics all Archie comics watched all episodes of OT and 2003 cartoon have watched the 13 episodes of Nick cartoon and have read all IDW comics that have been released right now. I have also watched all movies. Now you know it because i told you. But if i didnt told you then how would you know that i have read and wathced all versions of TMNT?

I HAVE ASKED THEM! .... i'm serious, they were at a panel at London Exspo con, in London, last may, before the premiere of the show to promote the show.

And I am happy to inform that the creators of the show are huge fan-boys of the turtles.
And I mean enourmus! these dudes grew up with the eighties show, and loves it. They sounded as nothing but over-excited fan-boys at that panel. All what they said can pretty much be summed up in the following sentence;

"OMG WE ARE MAKING AN ACTUAL TURTLE SHOW! can you believe it? a real turtle show! this is so amazing! Our show is going to be so amazing! I LOVE MY JOB!" end quote.

So no.. having to go through old turtles material is not a chore for these people, it's pure enjoyment. Believe me, you do not doubt these people when you have heard the sheer glee in their voices over the turtles as a franchise. Those people are over existed fan-boys themselves, whom all-ready knew all turtle history even before they knew they were going to make any turtle show.

It's pretty amazing to think that the turtles are now old enough that people whom grew up with the old stuff and remembers it from their childhood now are old enough to make new material of their own, isn't it?
And that passion can be felt in the show, at least I feel it can. It's just so existed about itself and its own existence.

Oh, no I wasn't going to believe it, I just wanted to see peoples opinions on him returning

[Powder]

I wasn't suggesting you would/were/did, man. But one post has turned into a giant fandom wide rumor many many times before. People need to be very clear about what they're saying to avoid that. It's frustrating when you see one guy misunderstand a joke and then turn it into a 'fact'.

LOL.. I suppose you are right.. it was a joke though.. for those that didnt get it there were two questions.. Answering YES to both worked.

[demonsweat]

I think there is a small bowlfish with a pink palm tree when Splinter is talking about Rat King trying to control his mind.... maybe an easter egg for Slash????

I suppose that Raph's pet turtle will become Slash in one of the future episodes... :D


That was my first thought too, but upon closer inspection it looks like the bowl the turtles were in when Splinter bought them at the pet shop. If you look close, you can actually see the cracks in the glass from where it shattered.

The bulletin board in April's school had a sign that said "Stop chem-trails". Something that Greg Cipes actively speaks out against.

OMG!

You are so right! and what an epic little detail, whom on earht would have ever caught that?

hehe, dawww, why do I find it so adorable that Splinter actually went through all of the trouble to collect all of the pieces of that thing, only to glue them together so he can have it?
That must have taken ages gluing together! all the while baby-sitting four small baby turtles.

Well, he is master splinter I suppose :tcool:

Someone screencap the final scene of "New Friends, Old Enemies." While Mikey's looking at Chris Bradford's profile on "my.face", two other tabs are open on his web browser.

One reads: "Shell Hardeners FREE SAMPLES."

And the other:


"Ain't Hot News - NINJA ALIENS????"



F*ck, I love this show.

But it's a reference to Murakami Wolf Swenson, the production company for the '87 series.Actually no. I was named after a friend of Ciro Nieli's.

I'm pretty proud of it myself, and I was eager to see if anyone had spotted it. Love both the allusion to Ain't-It-Cool News and the notion that Mikey's been reading up on the Michael Bay front.

F*ck, I love this show.

[Powder]

It was posted months ago. It just didn't warrant its own thread, nor is it really an easter egg (hence not seeing it here).

[demonsweat]

I got a pic of April's yo-yo from the TCRI episode and thought it looked familiar. Looks like it's a "Dunky 'Sputnix' Yo-Yo," modeled after the old Duncan Satellites. (spoiler for the huuuuge image)

Remember the digital prequel comic where Raphael finds graffiti marks saying "Jones is everywhere" with iconic hockey mask and I've heard a few times that we see similar graffiti marks in a few episodes around the city. Can anyone finds screen caps showing similar graffiti marks? Thank you.

[CyberCubed]

I don't think we've seen the Casey Jones grafitti in the actual show yet, although I could be wrong.

[Jester]

You are. There's some in the Subway in Leatherhead's debut.

[demonsweat]

The Jones graffiti shows up again in the background of the Pulverizer episode too.

[Venom]

Don't forget the "CASEY" tag in the very first episode when the turtles enter into the alley for the first time.

[ironman29758]

Thank you for finding theses. Can't wait to see Casey to actually to appear now more than ever.

He means the statue like thing in the Dragons' hideout in that episode. It did remind me of a Foot Elite when I saw it, but I don't know if that was intentional or not.

It's just a little asian man wearing a straw hat. Looks more like the Ancient One, but it's not him.

Doood tell me about it. I'm kinda pulling for a badass, borderline psycho vigilante Casey myself, but I'll just be happy to see him appear. I wonder if he'll sport a yellow hoodie like his tag does.

Right he might still be in high school(held back a few) but I hope he is a combo of 5 Casey Jones(Mirage, IDW,4kids, OT and movies) into one harass vigilante butting heads with Raphael.

[Powder]

Though he's not my favorite version of the character, I'd be fine if he was just like the IDW Casey. He'd fit well in this universe.

[CyberCubed]

Casey is already confirmed to be 18. He's a kid like the rest of the cast.

Casey is already confirmed to be 18. He's a kid like the rest of the cast.

He does seem like a perfect fit for the nick tmnt but I guess it's wait and see at comic con or whenever season 2 trailer come out.

[CyberCubed]

What in the world? This news has been stated as far back in 2012, Roseangelo reported it on her website.

Roseangelo reported it on her website.

Sorry, but I don't consider her a reliable source. Now if you said you heard the news on Cowabunga Corner, I might be inclined to take you more seriously.

Oh my God, here (http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/03/new-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-balances-comedy-and-action), you f*cking lunatic.

I asked about Casey Jones on the series, and Nieli replied, “Casey Jones will show up in the second season,” noting he didn’t want to give too much away, but that, “We’ll take our time introducing him.” Casey will also be a high school student, but “Maybe a couple years older – he got held back.”

[snake]

My one fear for Casey is that he will be portrayed as a stupid, tough, violent, guy like he was in the 4kids series, ill take IDW Casey over him anyday!

[Powder]

Casey has always been tough & violent, & though he's not stupid, he's definitely got a lot of ignorant moments. Buuuuut I'm with you on that to some degree, I wasn't a fan of his 4kids stupidity.

[CyberCubed]

Raph's fear of cockroaches might be a nod to 4kids Raph's fear of bugs.

Too bad Nick's Raph didn't say, "I hate bugs!" like his 4kids incarnation.

The Kraang's drill from today's episode resembled the technodrome, it even had an eye on it.

Okay, maybe I phrased that badly. I dunno how to explain it without naming names or drudging up the past, but I know some things about Rose that make me uncomfortable. No hard feelings against her, but I consider myself too good a friend to a certain someone else to look at anything she posts.

[demonsweat]

Sorry kids, not to burst your bubbles but I think this one was a walking eye. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hug3DkhA6Oc) First appearance was in Johnny Quest, but they've shown up in several sci-fi properties since. The creators are showing their ages with this one (not to mention, me). :D

Didn't look a damn thing like the drome to me, that much I can say for sure. If anything, it reminded me the various mini-robot things we saw in Turtles In Time & the first season of the OT.

[BMo]

I don't think it looked like the original Technodrome myself, but it DOES look like the Technodrome from Turtles Forever after Utrom Shredder upgrades it.

That thing looks creepy. Like a spider missing half it's legs. (Johnny Quest)
BMo, love your avatar.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that didn't think it looked like the Technodrome! lol I rewatched the episode to see if I'd just missed it completely, but I still don't see it, admittedly.

April wearing a yellow shirt is probably a nod to the OT, while the red hair is due to it being her standard hair color in animation now.

Just be thankful April never had curly black hair like in the early mirage comics in the shows.

She had a tendency to look little african american in those days. I remember there was a rumor going around that April's design was base on one of the creator's girlfriend at the time.

Yes since Eastman probably picked his name.

You think Eastman is the guy naming all the cartoon specific characters while he's working on the IDW books?

Not sure if this means anything, but it seems too specific not to be a reference to something. In the finale all of the turtles had a different number on the back of their flying suits but I can't figure out the reason why, if any. Anybody have a guess?

(Even though Leo's is never shown, you can see Don working on a "5" earlier on, so I assume that one's his.)

Well when you add up 3, 5, 7, & 9, you get 24. Totaling the number of episodes in Season 1 obviously...:P:trazz::P:trazz:

Also when you take August 8, @ 8. (8/8 @ 8 ) you get 24. Totaling the number of episodes in Season 1 obviously...:P:trazz:

Got one - from the last ep., "Operation Breakout." Upper right hand corner, the search bar says, #bearsofterror:

The terror bears were from TMNT and Other Strangeness: (http://tmntentity.blogspot.com/2011/01/tmnt-other-strangeness-overview-of.html)

There's a couple other funny things of note here too, check out the sidebar on the right: "Hot Shingles in Your Area (expert roofers!)," "E-Z Foot Loss" and "Give Me That Slice! (I see you eating that pizza / Hook a brother up). Willie Nelson the reoccurring truck driver is pictured up there too.

(I don't know what "Mouse Trek" refers to... Google search shows a rough-looking Bakshi film, but if that's the reference I don't get it.)

WOW! That's quite a find!!

I didn't notice the numbers on the back, but that's an interesting find. I'm not sure if it means anything either, but if it totals up the number of episodes, that's pretty cool way of tabulating it.

Upon watching "Turtle Temper" a second time, I caught what sounds like a nod to Du Prez's score from the original movie while Leo, Don and Mike are infiltrating the warehouse.

Perhaps not a true Easter Egg, but as a fan of the original movie, which I have seen numerous time (as you all have also) I thought it was neat to hear, what sounds like a portion of one of the score tracks during the BGM.

Sounds like the song that plays when the Turtles return home from the farm. I know it's used more often than that but that's the most clear example I can think of from the source.

Seeing as how the music in Turtle Temper always stood out to me, I'm surprised I never made that connection - it really does sound similar. Thanks for mentioning it!

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I already had noticed that before, and it sounds awesome to hear something like that as a nod to the first movie.

Mouse trek wars, most likely refers to the whole Disney bought star wars thing and the trek is from J.J. Abrams rumored for directing it. That or it's a load of hog wash :)

Oh yeah, good call! Didn't think about that. :D

Here's another possible one - in the finale Splinter's staff broke, revealing a hidden sword inside. I was watching with a friend and he pointed out that the OT Splinter Playmates toy did the same thing - a small sword would pull out of his staff. I don't remember if it was that way in the actual 'toon, but I don't think it was. I just remember him fighting with the stick. :ohwell:

[BubblyShell22]

It did? I never noticed that, but that could be a nod to the figure itself, too. Awesome find, Sweaty.
