From the right angle it would be amusing.

And a lost opportunity for 2003 when Leo was away with the Ancient One. Surely someone had to step up while Leo was away and could have been told stories, probably via Mikey, about Raph trying to fill his shoes while he was gone. Commence heckling. I'd just rather see said heckling done in a style that would happen in a show more like that one.
