The Turtles on Family Guy?

Has Family Guy gotten their mitts on our boys yet? Why not? They've had a racist Kermit the Frog pull a gun on a weary traveler, Cookie Monster in rehab, Chester Cheetah on ecstasy, Iceman visiting a gay theater (lol), Liono watching Cheetara on the toilet, Jewish Optimus Prime... it's about time the Turtles had their cameo!!!!

Petition the writers over at Fox, guys. C'mon! What possible scenarios do you picture? Brainstorm! I wanna hear!! ;) I picture something like....

Quote:

*Brian and Peter are sitting on the couch in silence*

Brian: "Hey uhh... Peter, there seems to be a lot of tension in the house lately, maybe we should all go to family counseling?"
Peter: "Yeah, maybe I could mediate like I did for the Ninja Turtles..."

*insert typical random Family Guy flashback*

Peter (with the Turtles and Splinter, all sitting in chairs in a circle): "Now fellas, it's normal to get a little angry with each other, it's nothin' to be ashamed of. Sometimes I get so mad at my son Meg... he acts so effeminate and whiny that I just wanna smack him. So that's what we'll do, I want you to all focus your anger outward on a particular source--"

*He bends down to get foam replicas of all their weapons and everyone stands up at once and KO's Raph with a single punch*
(And you know how FG always exaggerates a KO, like their body is sprawled every which way and an arm looks like it's dislocated? XDD)

Peter: *pouts* "Hey--I spent a lot of time on these!" *he throws the foamies on top of KO'ed Raph*

*Suddenly Shredder comes up behind Splinter and KO's him*

Peter: "Hey, didn't you die a gazillion times ago?"

*Suddenly Venus appears and KO's Shredder*

Venus: "A gazillion and one!"
Peter: "A chick? Where the shell'd you come from?"
Venus: "Well actually I--"

*Suddenly Peter Laird appears and KO's Venus*

Peter Laird: "--was NEVER supposed to see the light of day!"
Peter: "Who the shell are you?" *looks at camera* "A note to all you kids at home, that is actually a clever cover-up for hell... whenever you hear shell you should really know we're meaning HELL. Shell equals hell. HELL. Got it? Good."
Peter Laird: "Who the sh--I'm Peter Laird!"

*Leo rushes over*

Leo: "YOU! Why wasn't I your favorite!?! You created me and then you threw me away?!?! WHY???"

*Don comes up behind Leo and KO's him, high-fives Peter Laird*

Peter Laird: "Don's BETTER than you."

*end of flashback*

Okay, so that was dumb. I'm loopy... time for bed *totters off* :sleep:

or peter could remember "this is worse than the time I filled in for Peter Laird" hahahahaha:lol:

what are you talking about? There's a family guy episode with the original tmnt toon theme song in it. It's when the mayor west(?) watches his tv and the song was played;):)

Yeah, but did the Turtles make an appearance? They deserve an APPEARANCE, dang it! ;)

oh yeah, they DESERVE an appearance no doubt about that;):D

I'm assuming Seth Macfarlane isn't much of a TMNT fan.

How about this?

Peter: *at a gas station* $6.50 for gas? That's a bigger rip-off than when I had my own mechanic.

(Flashback. Donatello emerges from Peter's garage, covered in oil spots.)

Donatello: Alright. That'll be $4 and a box of pepperoni pizza.
Peter: $4 and pizza? God, you reptiles really are pushy.

I'll come up with more later! ^^

If he wasn't, he wouldn't even bother putting the theme song in one of the episode in the first place.;) I think he's a fan, somebody just need to give him a push and he'll do a turtle scene.

They've also had the Trix bunny and the Kool-Aid pitcher dude on Family Guy before if that counts, as well as that hunter cartoon whatshisname shooting down Bugs Bunny, and Robin from Batman and Superman have their own apperances. I just hope Family Guy doesn't do anything bad with the ninja turtles if they do decide to add them.

I wondered why the TMNT didn't pop up in that episode where Stewie was riding his tricycle through the sewers. I mean, they went through many cool references that time, including Doom, Star Wars, and even The Simpsons.

But no they ran into the goonies..:roll:
And has anyone else thought maybe the reason the turtles haven't been in the show is because it would cost to much.:ohwell:

Um... no. Why do you think that might be the case?:-?

Why do you think the old toons aren't on tv Fred Wolf films wants waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much money to air them.
It would make one think that the same could happen if you wanted to use them on the show.
Don't they have to ask permission to use the characters names and stuff on other shows? I would think so especially with the likes of the muppets being owned by Disney I'm sure they would get very fussy about it and the muppets have been on family guy a hand full of times. *shruggs*

Funny you mentioned this, me and my freinds were poking fun at the idea in the car while coming home from seeing the moive.

Peter:... like that one time I ran in to the the Ninja Turtles in the jungle

Peter (dressed like colonel santino and holding a sword): I ain't afraid of a ghost!

*Turtles come out and kick the crap out of him and take his clothes*

It was funny at the time... I commented on Leo killing the fat guy, and one of my freinds was like "nah he just left him naked in the jungle"... and it carried on from there.

This is one I posted on Toonzone a while back.

Peter: This is just like that time I led the foot clan in New York.

(Peter is the Shredder from the fisrt TMNT movie, and facing the turtles and Splinter on a rooftop.)

Splinter: I know who you are, Oroku Saki!

Peter: What?!

(Peter takes off his faceplate, and walks toward Splinter.)

Peter: My Name is Peter Griffin. You stupid rat. Peter Griffin! Okay.

Splinter: Terribly sorry.

Peter: Allright then.

(Splinter grabs Peter and throws him off the building.)

Peter: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

(Peter lands into a garbage truck.)

Peter: This is worse than that time I failed art...

(Peter reads a question from the test: Name the acomplishments of Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael.
Peter writes: Defeated the Shredder and Krang by sending the Technodrome to Dimension X.)

Hahaha... I love it. ;)

Asian Reporter Trisha Takinawa as April O'Neil in yellow outfit: Diane, I'm here live in New York city where crime escalates into an alarming rate. Sir, can you tell us what do you think about this unfortunate event?

Bebop: Rargh! *snort *snort *snout *eeeeeekkkk (squeal like a pig and runs away)

Trisha Takinawa covered with pig's green saliva: Interesting....what do you think of this Miss...?

The real April O' Neil : You f***ing imposter! *Punch and kick the sh*t out of reporter Takinawa and leave her lying on the ground.

Well, now that Carol Burnett is suing FG's producers for using a parody of her character, it might be a little dodgy for them now.

But parodies are part of the fair use doctrine... let me see if there is something on Wikipedia I can use as an example:

Quote:

Although a parody can be considered a derivative work under United States Copyright Law, it can be protected under the fair use doctrine, which is codified in 17 USC § 107. The Supreme Court of the United States stated that parody "is the use of some elements of a prior author's composition to create a new one that, at least in part, comments on that author's works." That commentary function provides some justification for use of the older work. See Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc.

In 2001, the United States Court of Appeals, 11th Circuit, in Suntrust v. Houghton Mifflin, upheld the right of Alice Randall to publish a parody of Gone with the Wind called The Wind Done Gone, which told the same story from the point of view of Scarlett O'Hara's slaves, who were glad to be rid of her.

This is the exact reason Alfred Yankovic wasn't sued for Amish Paradise.

I don't see why the turtles couldn't be on Family Guy seeing that they were on Robot Chicken before..
