Which was the worst of all? The Next Mutation, the 2014 movie, TMNT 3, or TMNT 2K7?

I'm pretty sure it's not about the dumb jokes themselves, the context of the dumb jokes is what's important here.

The 4Kids Turtles had a much more serious universe and most of the jokes from their side is because of their frustration with the Fred Wolf Turtles who believe they can, for example, make advanced technology from a flashlight, which isn't actually that far from what could happen in that series when you think about it.

Also, people who complain that Turtles Forever seem to totally forget that the first five (hell even the first twenty) episodes of the FW cartoon isn't even close to a good chunk of the of the episodes. Seasons 3-7 (151 episodes, the bulk of the series) contain quite a lot really goofy episodes that clearly aren't meant to be taken seriously at all. So it's not really that off to depict them like they were in Turtle Forever.

And finally (personal opinion here), I don't care about the Fred Wolf cartoon, I think it's a poorly written and poorly animated mess.
