Booyakasha and Cowabunga

*BabyTurtles* · 04-28-2013, 10:32 PM

When I was a lurker on this forum, I noticed that people weren't convinced Booyakasha was gonna stick like Cowabunga

so now that we are 21 episodes in how do you guys feel about Booyakasha now?

(why I made this thread?....well we have to wait 1 week until a new episode...so might as well talk about dumb but fun things right? XD)

Like it more when Ali G is saying it

Booyakasha

*Powder* · 04-29-2013, 03:53 AM

It doesn't annoy me or anything, but I'm not a big fan of it. Really, the fact it's Ali G's thing is what prevents me from liking it a bit better. I hate Ali G something fierce.

I love Booyakasha. It's something new and just a fun thing to say. I think I'd be more annoyed if it had been uttered every episode, but it's not. It's spread out quite a bit. Also, at least three of the Turtles have said it. I wonder when Leo will get to say it if he does at all?

Mom was watching part of "New Girl In Town" with me, and she thought they were saying, "Booyaka." I said, "No, they're saying Booyakasha."

I like it well enough - it IS fun to say, after all, and I had no previous connections to the word. Much as I like cowabunga, I appreciate the fact that they went with something new. It suits the new show, I think.

Besides, it's pretty hard to top Townsend Coleman's "Cowabunga!", haha.

Who wants to bet Nick Mikey will start saying Cowabunga when he picks it up after original toon Michaelangelo crosses over next season?

I want him to say it once when they met but not much afterwards.

Filespit · 04-29-2013, 04:35 PM

I like Booyakasha, it's a good catchphrase and it fits the new show... but nothing beats Cowabunga, end of story!

*Shark_Blade* · 04-29-2013, 08:17 PM

I love Booyakasha more. Cowabunga was good for it's time.

If the producers wanted him to say Cowabunga then he would've this season. If anything, he'll probably make fun of OT Mikey for saying it.

Agreed, I too would like to hear him say it just once - and the cameo from the 80s Turtles seems the perfect time for it - but I wouldn't want it to become a recurring thing.

Raph seems way more likely to make fun of OT Michaelangelo for saying it than Mikey, but the Nick Turtles seem pretty fun loving so I doubt they'd really care.

"Cowabunga says it all"
It's classic and timeless to me. I haven't seen much of the new show and what I have seen they never said "Booyakasha", although I did see Sean Astin and Jason Biggs on TV during SDCC2012 and they both said on on-air so I got the gist.

*pannoni1* · 05-01-2013, 06:39 AM

Since "Booyakasha" is heard on various commercial bumpers, its pretty firmly stuck into my mind by now. Sure its different from "Cowabunga" and the concept of a signature catchphrase was inspired from Cowabunga, the Nick series along with the OT are the only two Turtle universes with a distinct catchphrase. We might hear Cowabunga it again if Mikey has a "surf's up" after the crossover, but that would be the exception rather than the rule. You'll probably have a better chance at hearing the c-word in the upcoming movies than the b-word, but I wouldn't be shocked if the b-word is used in the movie.

OT made Cowabunga iconic. I wouldn't have objected to it appearing in Nick. Although I did love how it was handled in the early episodes of 2k3. "Mikey, I told you! No more 'Cowabunga'!"

As far as Booyakasha goes... meh. It's been done before. Not original.

Luke warm about either at this point in time.

The Sewer Lord · 05-04-2013, 06:19 AM

Cowabunga is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Booyakasha.
However, I'm happy Nick tried something new. I'm tired of hearing Cowabunga all the time. It's old.
