Michaelangelos birthday episode
 

anyone else watch this on their birthday?

he's always been my fav tmnt so I always watch this at midnight on my official birthdate.. sometimes twice:)

Watching this episode would be one of the worst birthday presents I could ever receive.

But if you like it, then you might enjoy this.

What about the Raph one? :)

Or what about the Burne's (Burne's Blues), Irma's (Attack of the 50 Foot Irma), or April's (Shreeka's Revenge) birthday episodes? I don't ever recall a cartoon having five different birthday episodes besides TMNT!

(CUE Vernon's Theme as heard on my Youtube channel)
Vernon: I just want to know why I didn't get my birthday episode!
Irma: The last time you had a birthday, you couldn't even blow out a single candle because you didn't want to get burned.
April: And fired by Mr. Thompson!
Vernon: (Laughs) Oh, but please be sure that the present includes a special assignment!

That was 20,000 Leaks Under The City, actually.

I think this is the only 1987 TMNT episode that I've only seen once, I vaguely remember it being pretty mediocre.

In "Burne's Blues", Vernon just mentions to April that he's "old and out of shape". That prompts the events of the episode.

I learned a great quote from that show

"when your best buds forget your birthday, then I guess their just not your best buds after all"

and who can forget all the funny lines

rocksteady "gee he must have seen this episode before"

bebop" ain't we gunna flush him anyway"
shredder" quiet you idiot, of course we are"

krang "my horoscope said this would be my lucky day"

all these birthday episodes and not one christmas episode? were eastman and laird not christian? i never understand why Old tmnt never had one and yet they did easter

weird if anyone knows that answer please post

I do this too, I also watch the Different holiday episodes on that holiday and I watch the movies the first night I move into a new place, I guess it makes it feel more like a home.

Probably because the TMNT wouldn't necessarily be Christians, with their sensei being Buddhist? (But then the Eastman and Laird comic did have a Christmas episode early on.)

The part I like is Shredder's reaction when he learns it is Michelangelo's birthday.

I didn't think it was that bad of an episode. Then again it's a kid's cartoon, so I try not to be too harsh. It did finally feature that ooze machine toy.

The thing I never got was why anti-mutagen blew them up like balloons. I always thought that part was weird as a kid, to see the turtles like that.
