Mikey's appeareance in "Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue"

*Sewer Bull* · 06-08-2006, 02:52 AM

Mikey in all his badassery:

Michaelangelo > Mr. T

BTW - there's another clip on youtube including Mikey from that worldwide acclaimed anti-drug video, but it's too shameful and pathetic for me to post it here.

Nevertheless you can find the second clip under the link I posted above, too.

I like Mikey, but why would they choose him as the Turtle to warn that kid about what drug abuse can do to you? I think Don, having more information on the subject, would come across as a better authority.

And why doesn't Mikey just go all nunchaku on the evil smoke? I know smoke is a gas and would not really suffer that much from the swinging bars of death, but since Mr. Smokey, laws of physics notwithstanding, has enough solidity to crash into a manhole cover and scream in anticipation of it, I think he has enough solidity to get clobbered.

*Sewer Bull* · 06-08-2006, 03:40 AM

Wasn't Michaelangelo the most popular turtle at that moment in time? Besides, Don could just bore the young audience with his highly scientific approach. And Raph wouldn't be convincing enough with his smart-aleck attitude. As for Leo... dunno. He could be a good choice too yet I believe most kids found Mikey cooler than Leo.

And [sensei mode]aggression is not the way to solve one's problems.[/sensei mode]. Besides, Mikey's nunchakus were not entirely welcomed everywhere. That's why Michaelangelo had to use his authority only. And dancing skills.

I dunno, it seems that, at least here, Raph has the most fans claiming him as their favorite. Mike certainly has a large fan base though.

Did Mikey ever use his nunchaku that much in the old toon? Nunchaku, I hear, can score high in lethality, and certainly splatter at least as much blood as swords and sai, so I somehow doubt he did.

I think a better question was why is the water in the sewer neon orange and pink?

I figure Mikey's in it because all the characters chosen are in for community service. Most of them have substance abuse problems with foods anyway-- Mikey with pizza, Garfield with lasagna, Alf with small animals-- and failing that, Mikey obviously has some prior history with pot, Garfield with 'ludes or something, and the Chipmunks are rockstars, so only God knows what they've been putting in their systems (though I assume that Alvin is a coke fiend and they all are probably addicted to their multiple human girlfriends). And Gonzo? I mean, come on.

Another theory is that the people who made this wanted to keep the drug-flow going (otherwise, where would they get their drugs in the future?), so they tried to get a new generation hooked. After all, this is a great little film to do drugs to.

EDIT: How appropriate and odd that this is my 420th post.

Is it just me, or doe Michelangelo seem really pissed-off in that segment?

All the other cartoon characters coddled the little crackhead,but not Michelangelo. He tried to drown the punk.

That apparently was Michael's (the kid, not the turtle) crazy drug vision.

He does! Ninja turtles don't pamper anyone, they shake one's conscience well with their unique techniques of persuasion.

I think you all are missing the point: If you smoke pot, you get to have super-trippy hallucinations filled with all the best cartoon characters.

Then it's rather encouraging, I say.

But yeah, you're right iris. It's well visible on that third segment present on youtube. The kid thought it was all just a bad trip.

Oh, I totally got that. I thought I made that pretty clear.

*iris* · 06-08-2006, 08:21 PM

The whole thing was unspeakably creepy. Do you think they meant it that way?

**Jester** · 06-08-2006, 09:45 PM

Maybe Townsend Coleman was the only TMNT voice actor willing to do it...that and Mikey's the "cool" one, so it'd be weird to here Raph, Don, or leo say, "Cowabunga, dude, how'd you get so totally cool."

*Coola Yagami* · 06-08-2006, 11:19 PM

LMAO Mikey helped that girl steal the kid's wallet!!! XD

What does that have to do with the topic?

Google 420.

I suddenly have the urge to do ungodly amounts of drugs.

yeah, I was little disapointed that it was only Michaelangelo that got to premier, but hey, like some one mentioned I think Michaelangelo was the turtle that most kids adored because of his cool attitude. I guess they thought kids would listen to him. Because you know if a Ninja turtle says so, its gospel.

Well like you just said Michaelangelo did have enough of a violent streak to slam Mr. Smoke guy with a man hole cover. So its not like Mike was going easy on him or treating him with kid gloves.

oh gosh I think you are right

He does seem rather pissed off in that segment! Which really says something if you think about, if your behavior is enough to piss off the normally easy going Michaelangelo of the TMNT, than you really are f***ing up! I guess Mike and the other toon characters where keeping in each other up to speed with the crack head, and Michaelangelo decided to take the gloves off and cuss him out LOL

I've been trying to find the whole thing to downlaod for a while

I think i had the video when I was younger.

You never actually smoked pot, did you?

*DrSpengler* · 06-09-2006, 05:40 PM

Also, something I noticed.

That kid was actually getting on the right track, not sure he wanted to get into crack or not. Then the girl with the stupid hat stole his wallet and he was just trying to get his money back.

Then Michelangelo removed the manhole cover at the last second, causing the kid to fall to his doom and then freaks out, lectures the crap out of him, AND tries to drown him.

Meanwhile, the girl still has the kid's wallet and is probably buying enough crack-bricks to build a small fort.
