"You know you've watched too much TMNT when...."

*Mars-Chan* · 03-12-2004, 12:58 PM

Yep...I'm doing another one of those myself.

I need everyone's ideas on this because I'm not getting anywhere fast with it....

So...here it is:

1) You know you've watched to much TMNT when you defend them against anyone who says that they were "Uncool".

2) .....or stupid.

3) ....or lame.

4) You know you've watched too much TMNT when you can start quoting each of the movies and your friends (who are just as big of fans as you are) join in.

5) Your friend signs you up for the fan-club, and you think that's a brilliant idea.

6) You start humming the theme song in your Ancient art class when your teacher talks about Leonardo de Vinci, or Michelangelo, etc

7) You start substituting swear words for corny TMNT lines (especially from the newer series) "What the shell was that?!"

You start believing that the "Coming Out Of Our Shells" tape was high quality music.

9) You know you're obsessed with the TMNT when you post pictures of the new series and put funny captions under it.

10) You make pizza a part of your everyday life.

11) You wonder why people look at you so strangely when you, out of nowhere, shout "COWABUNGA!!!" or "DA**!!!".

12) You think that you were a turle in another life.

13) ....or at least WISH you were.

OK...who's next?

When you still want to know the name of the robot Krang controls...

*MrPliggins* · 03-12-2004, 02:10 PM

1) you can name an episode by just watching the first 2 or three seconds

2) you know exactly which season an episode is from just by its name

3) you have about 50 vcr tapes full of mostly tmnt.

4) you start eating ice cream on your pizza (yeah, I did that once....)

Lanagirl · 03-12-2004, 02:24 PM

wow, I do all that and even more

It can't be TOO MANY tmnt... I watch them 24 hours a day hehehehe

I also watch Mortal Kombat

LAXtitan99 · 03-12-2004, 02:33 PM

ice cream on pizza is good...so tried that

*Kameko* · 03-12-2004, 02:34 PM

You realize that, in the movies, Tatsu was played by one actor and voiced by another. (Pretty good lip-sync, though!)

You can list at least three bloopers from the movies without even stopping to think about it.

You can recite the entire script of each movie (or at least the first two - you know, the ones worth watching) along with the actors.

You can sing T-U-R-T-L-E Power word-for-word flawlessly.

I've got a bunch more of these written down somewhere, I'll have to look for them.

When you see a manhole, you think of the Turtles and wonder if they REALLY are living down below.

*Taloniss* · 03-12-2004, 03:23 PM

When you make a thread called "You Know You've Watched too much TMNT when..." on a TMNT board.

Meeko · 03-12-2004, 03:28 PM

you swich all the school computers home pages to ninjaturtles.com

Demonfox38 · 03-12-2004, 05:31 PM

1) When you are playing Magic: The Gathering and you use your mana to play "Sensei Bash"
2) Your inflicted punishment on anyone is ten backflips.
3) You affectionately refer to Leonardo as "Boy Scout."
4) You look up various forms of meditation poses just so you understand what the heck "Seiza" is.

sensei#me · 03-13-2004, 08:14 AM

No when you find yourself teaching your little brothers the way of bushido and ninjitsu,with nunchucku,sai's,staffs and swords.

*XERO* · 03-13-2004, 04:57 PM

Darn...you guys beat me to my response!

...your head swells up every time a TMNT commercial or preview comes on.

When you tell someone who made a thread called "You Know You've Watched too much TMNT when..." on a TMNT board that making that thread constitutes having watched too much TMNT!

Whoo....say that ten times fast!

*Hannah* · 03-13-2004, 09:33 PM

((I just noticed that almost ALL of these apply to me.. lol..

))

When you make tons of TMNT themes on the school computers and set them all up

When you put your candy and cookies and stuff in your school lunch on your pizza.

When you ask the lunch-ladies at school If the have "Ninja Pizza" (I did that once! And I took a piza box and covered it and made "ninja pizza" too!)

When you record every single new show TMNT episode ever seen

When you mute the TMNT movies and say what they're saying as they speak

When you beat the crap out of every snivelling brat at school who insults the TMNT. (Or to me, as I call them, my brothers.)

When you start to beleive that you are a turtle

(((Guess what? All of those apply to me! LMAO!))

Meira-Bates · 03-13-2004, 09:54 PM

- When your computer is completely decked out in a TMNT theme (you know wallpaper, sound theme, screen saver, icons)

-(If you are an artist or writer type) You suddenly realise that TMNT are taking over your create thought and are slowly becoming the theme to every peice of work you create

-(for RPGers) When you realise you are starting to negelect all other games for things revovled around the TMNT-verse

-When something COMPLETELY unrelated to TMNT reminds you of it...

-...and it happens on a nearly DAILY basis

-When your family uses turtle as a nick name to tease you about your personality and posture, but you take pride in that nick name anyway.

-When you see a boxed series on DVD you absolutely LOVE on sale for cheap, but only have so much money and you stop and think of how many TMNT figures you could get with that money...

-...and then you buy those figures instead!

-You have at least part of your room dedicated to your TMNT collection....

-...and friends refer to it as your 'shrine'.

-When you start selling TONS of junk you never would have let go of before just so you can afford more TMNT stuff.

-You dream of TMNT or actualy dream of getting TMNT stuff

-You can look at a person's (real or fictional) personality and know if they are a "Leo", "Raph", "Mikey", "Donny", or any mix of any of the four.

-You make a TMNT flash movie series

-You successfully finish making your own TMNT fan video game...

-...or SEVERAL of them.

-You own some form of almost every single TMNT related song there is (iow all the diffrent language versions of the old toon theme, the movie sound tracks, the anime sound track, ect)

(all of these up till the flash movie part apply to me @.@)

*Hannah* · 03-14-2004, 10:01 AM

((Hehe. All of yours except the flash movie and turtle nickname applies to me.))

Yes.. isn't that wild? Then.. I noticed that Michael McConnohie signed my guestbook cause he noticed my nod to him on my Tatsu shrine webpage.

- When I made up a list like this describes my level of TMNT geekiness (from a few years ago, when mailing lists were the "in thing"): http://www.turtlequest.com/tmnt/geek.html

- Even on the Transformer forums, everyone knows me as the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Equine" freak.

- Main reason why I watch Amarda/Energon, is cause so many VA's that used to be TMNT (TNM) are in that. Matt Hill (Raph's VA for the latter movies and TNM) is also one of them!

- You end up comparing characters in your other favorite fandom to the TMNT (G1 Wheeljack IS Donatello, dammit!). And that Tatsu's VA also had been a VA in the G1 cartoon....

- You realize just how much TMNT stuff you refer to, when you should be talking more about the 'other fandom' in that forum.

- When your TMNT friend gets a new Beetle, you wonder why she didn't get a green one.

- You think Cyborg Don is cool, no matter what.

- You think the same way about armored trucks now.

- And New York City, of course.

- You decide to give up going to your otherwise favorite comic con, just to go to an anime one (even though you are not into anime), just so you can meet the FoxBos VA's.

- You can never get tired of eating pizza... and you also like putting wierd toppings on it.

Meira-Bates · 03-15-2004, 12:08 PM

*fixes her fan game part so it's more clear* heh sorry I just realised how easily anyone could take that as something like a text rp or something else along those lines. X.x I mean anyone can actualy make a text rp...making an entire video game...not to mention several of them....X.x hard work, I've tried and failed @.@.

Gremlin · 03-15-2004, 12:27 PM

The scary part is... I can honestly agree to most of all these things... maybe it's time to cut down on the watching....
