"You know you've watched too much TMNT when...."
 
Yep...I'm doing another one of those myself. :lol:
I need everyone's ideas on this because I'm not getting anywhere fast with it.... :tanime: :tlol:

So...here it is:

1) You know you've watched to much TMNT when you defend them against anyone who says that they were "Uncool".

2) .....or stupid.

3) ....or lame.


4) You know you've watched too much TMNT when you can start quoting each of the movies and your friends (who are just as big of fans as you are) join in.

5) Your friend signs you up for the fan-club, and you think that's a brilliant idea.

6) You start humming the theme song in your Ancient art class when your teacher talks about Leonardo de Vinci, or Michelangelo, etc

7) You start substituting swear words for corny TMNT lines (especially from the newer series) "What the shell was that?!"

8) You start believing that the "Coming Out Of Our Shells" tape was high quality music.

9) You know you're obsessed with the TMNT when you post pictures of the new series and put funny captions under it.

10) You make pizza a part of your everyday life.

11) You wonder why people look at you so strangely when you, out of nowhere, shout "COWABUNGA!!!" or "DA**!!!".

12) You think that you were a turle in another life.

13) ....or at least WISH you were.

OK...who's next? :tlol:

When you still want to know the name of the robot Krang controls...

MrPliggins 03-12-2004 02:10 PM

1) you can name an episode by just watching the first 2 or three seconds

2) you know exactly which season an episode is from just by its name

3) you have about 50 vcr tapes full of mostly tmnt.

4) you start eating ice cream on your pizza (yeah, I did that once....)

Lanagirl 03-12-2004 02:24 PM

:o wow, I do all that and even more:-)
:lol:
It can't be TOO MANY tmnt... I watch them 24 hours a day hehehehe :lol: :P
I also watch Mortal Kombat

LAXtitan99 03-12-2004 02:33 PM

ice cream on pizza is good...so tried that :D

Kameko 03-12-2004 02:34 PM

You realize that, in the movies, Tatsu was played by one actor and voiced by another. (Pretty good lip-sync, though!)

You can list at least three bloopers from the movies without even stopping to think about it.

You can recite the entire script of each movie (or at least the first two - you know, the ones worth watching) along with the actors.

You can sing T-U-R-T-L-E Power word-for-word flawlessly.




:lol: I've got a bunch more of these written down somewhere, I'll have to look for them.

raphael90 03-12-2004 03:09 PM

When you see a manhole, you think of the Turtles and wonder if they REALLY are living down below.

Taloniss 03-12-2004 03:23 PM

When you make a thread called "You Know You've Watched too much TMNT when..." on a TMNT board.

Meeko 03-12-2004 03:28 PM

you swich all the school computers home pages to ninjaturtles.com

Demonfox38 03-12-2004 05:31 PM

1) When you are playing Magic: The Gathering and you use your mana to play "Sensei Bash"
2) Your inflicted punishment on anyone is ten backflips.
3) You affectionately refer to Leonardo as "Boy Scout."
4) You look up various forms of meditation poses just so you understand what the heck "Seiza" is.

sensei#me 03-13-2004 08:14 AM

No when you find yourself teaching your little brothers the way of bushido and ninjitsu,with nunchucku,sai's,staffs and swords. :lol:

XERO 03-13-2004 04:57 PM

Darn...you guys beat me to my response! :lol:

...your head swells up every time a TMNT commercial or preview comes on.

When you tell someone who made a thread called "You Know You've Watched too much TMNT when..." on a TMNT board that making that thread constitutes having watched too much TMNT!

Whoo....say that ten times fast!

Hannah 03-13-2004 09:33 PM

((I just noticed that almost ALL of these apply to me.. lol.. :lol: ))

When you make tons of TMNT themes on the school computers and set them all up

When you put your candy and cookies and stuff in your school lunch on your pizza.

When you ask the lunch-ladies at school If the have "Ninja Pizza" (I did that once! And I took a piza box and covered it and made "ninja pizza" too!)

When you record every single new show TMNT episode ever seen

When you mute the TMNT movies and say what they're saying as they speak

When you beat the crap out of every snivelling brat at school who insults the TMNT. (Or to me, as I call them, my brothers.)

When you start to beleive that you are a turtle


(((Guess what? All of those apply to me! LMAO!))

Meira-Bates 03-13-2004 09:54 PM

- When your computer is completely decked out in a TMNT theme (you know wallpaper, sound theme, screen saver, icons)

-(If you are an artist or writer type) You suddenly realise that TMNT are taking over your create thought and are slowly becoming the theme to every peice of work you create

-(for RPGers) When you realise you are starting to negelect all other games for things revovled around the TMNT-verse

-When something COMPLETELY unrelated to TMNT reminds you of it...

-...and it happens on a nearly DAILY basis

-When your family uses turtle as a nick name to tease you about your personality and posture, but you take pride in that nick name anyway.

-When you see a boxed series on DVD you absolutely LOVE on sale for cheap, but only have so much money and you stop and think of how many TMNT figures you could get with that money...

-...and then you buy those figures instead!

-You have at least part of your room dedicated to your TMNT collection....

-...and friends refer to it as your 'shrine'.

-When you start selling TONS of junk you never would have let go of before just so you can afford more TMNT stuff.

-You dream of TMNT or actualy dream of getting TMNT stuff

-You can look at a person's (real or fictional) personality and know if they are a "Leo", "Raph", "Mikey", "Donny", or any mix of any of the four.

-You make a TMNT flash movie series

-You successfully finish making your own TMNT fan video game...

-...or SEVERAL of them.

-You own some form of almost every single TMNT related song there is (iow all the diffrent language versions of the old toon theme, the movie sound tracks, the anime sound track, ect)

(all of these up till the flash movie part apply to me @.@)

Hannah 03-14-2004 10:01 AM

((Hehe. All of yours except the flash movie and turtle nickname applies to me.))

Yes.. isn't that wild? Then.. I noticed that Michael McConnohie signed my guestbook cause he noticed my nod to him on my Tatsu shrine webpage. :D



- When I made up a list like this describes my level of TMNT geekiness (from a few years ago, when mailing lists were the "in thing"): http://www.turtlequest.com/tmnt/geek.html

- Even on the Transformer forums, everyone knows me as the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Equine" freak.

- Main reason why I watch Amarda/Energon, is cause so many VA's that used to be TMNT (TNM) are in that. Matt Hill (Raph's VA for the latter movies and TNM) is also one of them!

- You end up comparing characters in your other favorite fandom to the TMNT (G1 Wheeljack IS Donatello, dammit!). And that Tatsu's VA also had been a VA in the G1 cartoon....

- You realize just how much TMNT stuff you refer to, when you should be talking more about the 'other fandom' in that forum.

- When your TMNT friend gets a new Beetle, you wonder why she didn't get a green one.

- You think Cyborg Don is cool, no matter what.

- You think the same way about armored trucks now.

- And New York City, of course.

- You decide to give up going to your otherwise favorite comic con, just to go to an anime one (even though you are not into anime), just so you can meet the FoxBos VA's.

- You can never get tired of eating pizza... and you also like putting wierd toppings on it. :tpizza:

Meira-Bates 03-15-2004 12:08 PM

*fixes her fan game part so it's more clear* heh sorry I just realised how easily anyone could take that as something like a text rp or something else along those lines. X.x I mean anyone can actualy make a text rp...making an entire video game...not to mention several of them....X.x hard work, I've tried and failed @.@.

Gremlin 03-15-2004 12:27 PM

The scary part is... I can honestly agree to most of all these things... maybe it's time to cut down on the watching....

I Can & so can Zane...

-When you program your cell-phone ring to sound like the theme song...

(I helped Zane w/ that)

-When you start craving for a peanut butter and marshmallow pizza!!

Mars-Chan 03-15-2004 10:41 PM

Okay...now this is just sad...

You hear the song "Tequila" on the radio at work and at the exact moment, you cry out "Ninjitsu!!" and totally embarass yourself in front of the customers and your co-workers....

:lol:

It's true! It happened to me last Saturday while I was at work! :lol: :tlol:

Meira-Bates 03-15-2004 10:51 PM

lol!

-You play a game of 'Guess who said what quote where' TMNT style with some friends and for the most part you are getting answers right and you can manage to stump the others.


I just did that @.@

:o No kidding...

Meira-Bates 03-16-2004 04:18 AM

yep, having an old toon ep script helps with that...maybe I should add that as another piece of evidence?

Mars-Chan 03-16-2004 09:13 AM

:lol: I think so!

Hannah 03-16-2004 09:25 AM

-When you get a scab you carve a turtle into it repaetedly until it turns into a turtle scar. ((Oww it hurt.))


-When you take the Video game that your bro is playing (Ooga Booga) and decide which character can e played as which turtle or badguy (hoodoo = shredder) and have TMNT battles. Also, you mute it and whne you attack say a quote. (Leprechaun=Leo=Slice and Dice)

Dude... They have professionals that can do that for you. Not altering an existing scab, but giving you a "turtle scar". Ahh, the wonders of body art. Which reminds me...

- If you have, or are considering getting a TMNT related tattoo.

Hannah 03-16-2004 01:36 PM

But I don't have money. So I'm just making my own scars. :P


-when you make a pizza box called "ninja-pizza". (I did, its sitting in front of me :P)

Relay 03-16-2004 03:11 PM

Downloading the original TMNT theme song for you cell phone ringer was a highlight of your weekend.

*wishes someone would call me so my phone would play the music*

R-iZZy 03-16-2004 03:15 PM

- When you play play SmackDown: Here Comes The Pain and create all the Ninja Turtles, and get extremely mad when you aren't as accurate as you want.

Halfshell 03-17-2004 02:50 AM

Like me:

-You set Kazaa up with TMNT icons/buttons
-You you re enact the last episodes with your figures
-You day starts evolving the last episode aired
-You dream about the last epidose and you put yourself in the storyline
-You put your self in the turtles' origin



I beleive GrenWilliow has a very nice list on her site about this subject

HorseTechie 03-17-2004 11:35 AM

- Whenever you walk over/by those grates on the city sidewalks, you find yourself looking down them because 1. It reminds you of the first and second movies and, 2. You wonder if you'll see a Turtle by chance. :P

R-iZZy 03-17-2004 11:38 AM

- Whenever you are assigned to program a simple quiz, and go out of your way programming a turtle quiz and coloring the layout of it with green colors and the yellow plastron color. Man... I wonder if I can still program.

Jo Dawn 03-17-2004 08:56 PM
