People actually think those guys are funny? That was the worst crap I have ever seen... probably worse than what they were "reviewing". I showed it to people who don't even like the turtles and they hated those guys. I am sorry, they are not funny and need to learn how to insult people without sounding like morons. I think I wasted my time watching that one...

These guys are very popular online and theyre found funny because theyre so over the top and what they say is very true. They remove the nostalgia goggles we all wear and look at things objectivly. So you ended up shaking your head and going "omg its so true!"

theyre a pretty old and strong part of online video game culture lol.

wow and I thought the third movie was horrible, I thought the Next mutation was cruel.
I thought the costumes from next mutation and the third movie where crappy.

I was so wrong... Awesome review from the nerd and the critic

*Raph's Girl* · 06-11-2009, 04:53 AM

I've never seen the behind the scenes thing...just a video of one of the concerts themselves that members of the Fan Club got (I had some friends who were members and we'd have sleepovers just watching eps that hadn't aired in Germany yet *lol*). I rather liked the songs. Best part is when Shredder, in his quest to destroy all music, tests out his music destroying machine by destroying a NKOTB album and turning it into confetti.

Believe it or not but COOTS is a Platinum Award winning album....seriously... Their Christmas thing...well I've only ever heard the songs from it but Michelangelo singing Opera music is just wrong.... The follow up album to COOTS, Getting Down In Your Town, is ok from the couple songs I've heard from it. Casey Jones toured with them instead of April for that one I believe. And then they did their stint at Disneyworld...where they had a musical show....

The Turtles have several of Pizza related songs of course:
Pizza Power
On Top Of The Pizza (a rather gross song IMO)
Pizza U.S.A

aww thats actually kinda of nice ...

most people would tease about it

it is so freaking insulting to the fans-even the little guys, msot of those kids in the clips looked bored!! Do they think 5 year olds are THAT stupid? I'm embarrassed to LOOK at those costumes...my eyes were burning watching the clips in the review.
I'd like to throw the cruciatus curse on whoever came up with the brilliant idea of a crappy ass music show for TMNT...

make em suffer!

Canadian Turtle · 06-11-2009, 08:28 AM

Ok I agree my reaction to that video was a little un-called for. And I also agree with Spitfire that the humor in it is up to the viewer.

The thing is, one can make the same argument about COOTS. If you look at it in context its not that bad. I'm not talking about the "making of" which is ridiculous and COOTS is also very funny, especially if you have a couple drinks.

The point is, that album and show were very successful. You can say all you want about the costumes and I would agree, however they were made for a stage performance, not for on camera closeups. Also consider looking at it from the time it went down. I was told by the person who directed and came up with the show that this was more or less the first of its kind. A traveling stage production with massive costumes and sets. And it did amazingly all over the world. The underlying message of the show was pretty positive and I think that goes for all the TMNT stuff we love..

The bottom line is! It is pretty funny if we watch it now. I don't think that anyone deserves to burn in hell for it. And I can't say that strange vulgar internet show was really all that well thought out (and their production value sucked, I know they could have done better). I swear more than most people, but they just seamed awkward when they did it.

*Spitfire* · 06-11-2009, 02:55 PM

I just got around to watching this. The green screening is so half ass'd, and that font is a standard Premiere preset that comes with it's type program. Sound editing was very bad too. The quality was seriously lacking in this video. Pretty lazy if you ask me.

I think you miss the point of these videos. They're not really there to express any kind of meaningful opinions. They're just there to poke fun at it in the most over the top fashion. They're not here as regular reviewers like Roger Ebert or anything, the "review" is just a disguise. James himself even made it very clear that everything was done for fun in his video game reviews, and this is in the same style. They're just poking fun at it for our entertainment.

Put it this way, I managed to track a cheap copy of a DVD with both (Turtle Tubes & Christmas) on it from ebay.

I was almost driven crazy in the Turtle Tunes one...but I haven't sat through Christmas yet as I've seen a large amount on YT; I'm still recovering from TT!

COOTS I can sit through and laugh at without going crazy...so I think for me, the two mentioned are worse...

Also, I dance with surfing alligators all the time! How is that random?

We Wish You A Turtle Christmas is on YouTube now?? Geesh....I couldn't find it last time I checked...

Ha!! Poor Don.. you can barely see him in The Wrap Rap...and when you can...he's uh..dancing?

I love how in this one... Leonardo suddenly gains a Jamaican accent...

*Candy Kappa* · 06-13-2009, 07:18 AM

OMG their grins are so freaking disturbing

Yup, awesome!

The part where I nearly snapped was the song on cleaning up trash...the stuff they were picking up was just newspaper...It honestly looked like someone had dropped a paper and it had been swept everywhere by the wind!!!

The Wrap Rap I always laugh at because it's about wrapping presents...but by the end, they haven't wrapped anything!!! They just sing about it and suddenly it's done...I wish it was that simple

The design of the turtles for some of those clips is slightly frightening, they appear somewhat like rabid freddo frogs.

Wait till you see Splinter. I found the entire special online (it has audio comentary tho)....but I have now seen it in it's entire crappy glory... Splinter looks like a cat...or as the comentator said..something a cat threw up.

The entire special (which is 25 min long....those orphans are never explained...) is here:

**Jester** · 06-13-2009, 04:46 PM

That's me!!!

Try to disregard my commentary.

In fact, I posted it on page 1 as a shameless plug.

Further editing....notice in the 12 days of Christmas, the same shot used over and over for 4 manhole covers and 3 skateboards...oye.
