Michelangelo or Michelangelo?
 

I know gobo ment this in jest but i got such a kick out of it I decided to make a poll of it. gobo wrote in:

choose.

Laid-back surfer for sure. Ritalin kid is kinda annoying.

I second that!

I went with the surfer because when I first watched the OT, Mikey was my favorite for a short time. While in the NT, there is no way I could have favored him. But then, by the time I watched the NT, I was familiar with TMNT from the OT and the movies.

Laid-back surfer all the way!

Whoops, I voted wrong -- what's up with this annoys you the least question? Michaelangelo is totally the least annoying, but I wasn't paying attention and picked the Turtle Titan. :(

Gobo never Jests...that's my job. :D


Oh and Spicolli-esque Mikey

There is only one correct answer. This is not a matter of opinion, it's an IQ test.

And four people have already failed.

Mikey: most misunderstood turtle... ;)

um three have failed. Wes said he didn't mean to vote for ratilin kind Mike. ;)

I voted for "laid back surfer Michaelangelo" because he is indeed the potrayal of him a find the least irritating of the two.

Mostly because...well the description says it "laid back surfer Michaelangelo" is laid back. Ratilin kid Michaelangelo is aggitating and he agitates as a result.

Also I've noticed that any version of Michaelangelo that tries to be funny fail miserably at it. Surfer Michaelangelo is just a laid back party dude, he doesn't try to be funny and he's the better for it. Ratilin kid Mike tries to be some balls out comedian and...just comes across as annoying. I think there is a meassage in that. ;)

Well I guess I'm the black sheep. It was a hard choice, but I pick ritalin Mike because thats the way I see him in the original Mirage comics. Surfer Mike is good too, but a little too 80's and dated ( even though the 80's was the best decade IMO). Plus, I never understood how a New York Turtle could have such a strong Californian accent. To me Mike was always the hype man of the group. Leo was the the straight lace, Don was the Nerd, and Ralph was the thug.

Mikey annoyed the hell out of me in the 87 toon. He didn't do much better in the 2k3 toon either, but the one episode, The Christmas Aliens, was a nicely done Mikey centric episode, and helped me choose the least annoying. He was actually charming in that episode, IMO.

Well, then I am one of the people who voted "wrong", on purpose. The 80's Michaelangelo always annoyed me greatly, and I actually prefer the new toon Mikey.

I like both 87 Mike and 2k3 Mike, actually. It's the 2k7 Mike that gets on my nerves.

Michaelangelo, the laid-back surfer

Current Mikey getts on my nerves
My favorite Mikey is from the first 2 movies

I also prefer the 80's version of Mike: he was a better fighter and he sometimes came up with a good plan, while in the 2K3 version he was mostly the idiot who messed things up.

Season 1 MichAelangelo was my preference. He seemed like too much of a dufus/stoner cliche past that season. But, now that I think about it, 4Kids' Mikey was significantly less irritating at the beginning of the series too. It's like Mike has nowhere to go but down when it comes to tv.

What the f*ck comics you reading?

Umm, there was this indepedent B&W comic book called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that was created by two guys named Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird back in 1984. It became a major pop culture Icon, but I'm sure you've probably never heard of it, Cipher.
