AweSome! I've eaten about four boxes already. Cool to see Vanilla doing something TMNT related.

Its a really big deal for him. :) He is a true TMNT fan, no doubt.

[snake]

That was amazing. A cheesy song for a cheesy meal :D

[RaphAndDonnie]

That tattoo was pretty awesome looking. And his favorite turtle is Raph, lol. :lol:

[turtlefanforever]

But a strong supporter of Mac and cheese. Haha I liked this commercial. Ice is awesome. Wish they woulda done the movie dance.

[chrisdude]

I love that they embraced the generation gap. The mom's down, but the kid's like, "What is this nonsense?"

[DrSpengler]

Stay cool, Vanilla Ice.

[Gooseatello]

Now I want some Mac n Cheese

[CyberCubed]

I love how the kid is too young to understand what the hell is going on. :lol:

[Ninja Tiptup]

I got a kick out of that and how they bridged the generations of TMNT fandom. As usual kids are dicks.

[909 Turtle Fan]

ahhhhhh that was really freaking funny. I wonder if he rolled to the commercial shoot in his 5.0? :tcool:

[CyberCubed]

I got a kick out of that and how they bridged the generations of TMNT fandom. As usual kids are dicks.

The kid was too young to even be a part of the 4kids generation for that matter.

[Ninja Tiptup]

It would have been interesting to have maybe a teenage brother in there too but the ad is still amusing.

[CyberCubed]

I'm surprised Vanilla Ice is still alive. Doesn't the guy have a history of doing drugs like just about every rapper in existence?

[Donatello19]

Haha, I love this. Gotta love the two different generations of turtle fans :D Weird, I actually bought a box of this mac and cheese today :o

[TurtleTitan97]

:tlol: That was awesome.

[pannoni1]

Well done, and I thought the RAPhael comment was funny. Nice way for Kraft to follow in Primera's footsteps. This will be getting lots of airtime, so I'm hoping to see it soon.

[Donatello19]

Poor kids of today will not get this commercial at all :lol:

[turtlefanforever]

Shapes always taste better

[Donatello19]

Shapes always taste better

They really do...I think it's beacuse they're thicker. Whenever I buy Mac and Cheese I get the shapes...they taste better and characters like TMNT on them just add to it.

[Filespit]

Awesome stuff! Cudos to Vanilla Ice for doing this, he really seemed to enjoy this as well. :)

[Desslok]

That's awesome, made me smile. :D

[Blossombrooks]

Ha, brilliant! The guy loves his tmnt and its great to still see him getting involved. I wish we had that mac and cheese over here! :tgrin:

[xChri5x]

Looks so good. Can we get this in Canada?

[Ninjinister]

Looks so good. Can we get this in Canada?

Yeah but it'll be called "Dinner" there instead :|

[Venom]

Whoaaa, this was meta for me, but very enjoyable!

Us Gen Y kids are truly the first of a different generation...a sort of "pop culture" generation that continually sees things we grew up with get reinvented. The gen before us has its referential things, but not to the degree we have!

[Donatello19]

Behind the scenes:

[Bakushan]

I really enjoy the behind the scenes part... shows the kind of guy he is... and how much of a fan he is. :D Like he said... being in TMNT2 was the "greatest event in my entire life". That's pretty awesome to hear. :)

Its the same thing he told me back in 2012, and the reason I decided to reunite him and the TMNT live on stage in Dallas for a rap concert this Saturday. :)

His manager mentioned he was in a "big national commercial" but could not tell me what. I assumed this was a SUPER BOWL commercial... but I was wrong.

The best part here is that it shows how we... the children of the 80's have grown up and become parents ourselves... and our kids have no idea who Vanilla Ice is... LOL! :)

Just a great, smart commercial all around. I will buy for sure.

[BubblyShell22]

I'm surprised Vanilla Ice is still alive. Doesn't the guy have a history of doing drugs like just about every rapper in existence?

Dude, it's called turning your life around. He did just that, and now he's a better person because of it. Loved the commercial and thought it was very well done.

[coreyrc87]

That commercial is hilarious. *starts sending link to everyone I know*

[CyberCubed]

Does Vanilla Ice remind anyone else of the 80's version of Justin Bieber?

[snake]

Does Vanilla Ice remind anyone else of the 80's version of Justin Bieber?

Nope, Ice is a pretty cool guy.

[thebrownranger]

Haha can't wait for the Epic party on Saturday!

[Bakushan]

Haha can't wait for the Epic party on Saturday!

You coming down from NYC man?

[TigerClaw]

Vanilla Ice is without a doubt the biggest TMNT fan. Hes got a Tattoo to show it. :)

[Shred87]

This is sick.... Great commercial

[thebrownranger]

You coming down from NYC man?

Nah homie. I moved from NY to TX unfortunately about 2 years ago b/c of the recession. Miss home a lot, but good to know I can throw down with some lifelong TMNT fans here. Me and my bro (NYShell) will be there Friday and Saturday.

[NYShell]

We'll be there for the TMNT 2 screening on Friday and the party on Saturday. Stoked. Hopefully we can chat with Eastman, Ernie, Ice and Partners for a good amount of time.

[Coola Yagami]

No? Hell, he was just recently on the Rachel VS Guy Cooking competition show for several episodes...

[Coola Yagami]

That was interesting. Ice hitting on a woman strangely getting her grove on in the grocery store and an excuse to creep kdis out with catch phrase. Amusing nonetheless. What was he doing at the start,just shuffling through the macorni and cheese?

No it looks like he was a stocker at the store.

[CyberCubed]

The mother looked like she wanted to get it on with Vanilla Ice, and in front of her son too.

[Coola Yagami]

The mother looked like she wanted to get it on with Vanilla Ice, and in front of her son too.

For all we know, she coulda been an 80's TMNT fan and a Vanilla Ice fan back in the day.

[Zachatello00]

I think that was what they were trying to say. I thought this was great. Made a happy end to a stressful day.

[BubblyShell22]

Saw the commercial on ABC Family yesterday. That kid looked so weirded out and and seemed like he wanted to stop his mom from embarrassing him. I thought it was hilarious, and now I want some TMNT Mac and Cheese.

[Zarana-X]

I never cared for Vanilla Ice's music, but he's a cool guy. Smart and a cool decorator. I enjoyed the commercial.
Now to buy some TMNT Cheese and Macaroni.

[BabyTurtles]

I'm so glad I watched the movie recently or I would've been like that kid :lol:

[Aaronardo]

This... this needs to be nominated as one of the greatest commercials of all time, or at least in this decade. Who's with me?!

[snake]

Here! I love this commercial.

[The Fifth Turtle]

I love this commercial. I love the food. I love the song. Win win.....win.

Hopefully Ice can do some more tmnt related projects. Perhaps some voice acting for the show? He has a cool voice imo.

[BubblyShell22]

I second that. Mom even mentioned to me after we just saw the commercial a few minutes ago, "We'll have to go and get some of that." I said, "Okay, but I want the Leo box." She asked, "Aren't they all four on the box?" I answered, "No, there are individual boxes with each Turtle on them."

I told my sis about the commercial, and she thought it was cool too.

[Donatello19]

^They clearly made four different boxes to get more money out of us :lol: I'm surprised there isn't one with all four in addition to the separate four.

[BabyTurtles]

I never eat mac and cheese, but I'm so getting a Mikey box *_*

[snake]

I'd hate if we don't get any more TMNT food products.

[Donatello19]

I'd hate if we don't get any more TMNT food products.

We already have fruit snacks, Go-Gurt, mac and cheese, cookies, various candies and there's probably some stuff I'm forgetting, even. We'll be getting more food for sure...my predictions: A (proper) cereal, Pop-Tarts, Cheez-Its/Cheese Nips, Cambell's chicken noodle soup with TMNT shaped noodles...and pudding pies (wishful thinking, probably not gonna happen :P)

EDIT: Look what I found on Kraft's facebook:

They also wrote "Loved for generations. Together for this one." Are they talking about the mac and cheese, the TMNT, or both?

[The Fifth Turtle]

I've been hoping for a cereal ever since the fruit snacks!

[Sanjuro]

Just had some for dinner tonight. Vastly superior to any other mac and cheese on the market. 10/10.

Now...bring me back my ****ing pudding pies.

[Leo656]

I never eat mac and cheese, but I'm so getting a Mikey box *_*

No offense, but... really? Never? I'm sad and disturbed.

I mean, it's horrible for you, but... it's just... I'unno, it's just good. :lol:

[BabyTurtles]

No offense, but... really? Never? I'm sad and disturbed.

I mean, it's horrible for you, but... it's just... I'unno, it's just good. :lol:

I mean....I make my own XD I don't by it in a box.

I melt a bunch of cheese...and mix it in a pot and stuff XD

[Leo656]

Ah. Well that's fine too.

[zkarlette]

Old-ish...how dare you Kraft!

I don't like buying Mac n cheese but in this case I'll make an exception. :)

[Darth Knuckles]

I really enjoyed seeing the commercial. I actually saw it on Monday. At first my back was turned to the t.v. But when I heard the "Go Ninja Go Ninja Go", I turned my head real quick to see it! :tgrin: I thought it was pretty funny. It was cool to feature the age gap in the commercial as the focus of the mother/son relationship. It was a cool direction to take the commercial I thought. I'm glad Vanilla Ice did the commercial and seemed to really enjoy himself with it. Now I just have to find the Kraft TMNT boxes in stores!

[Donatello19]

It was cool to feature the age gap in the commercial as the focus of the mother daughter relationship.

I believe you mean the mother SON relationship...:lol:

[Darth Knuckles]

I believe you mean the mother SON relationship...:lol:
Ha ha ha! Yeah I totally didn't catch that! :tlol: I'll go back and fix that. Thanks for pointing that out.

[Donatello19]

Ha ha ha! Yeah I totally didn't catch that! :tlol: I'll go back and fix that. Thanks for pointing that out.

Haha, no problem dude.

[Donatello19]

The TMNT shapes are now available in cups:

[Lou 500]

Yay, dehydrated bits of pasta.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I had my box on Thursday. They're available in cups, too. Hmm, might have to check that out. Either way, it was some good mac and cheese. Now to get more and get it in the Leo box.
