Banzai! The underappreciated catch phrase of the OT - Page 2

I always liked it when Michaelangelo said "Holy guacamole!", especially now that I've tried guacamole and love eating it in burritos!

Am I the only one who remembers at least one episode where the Turtles say in unison "Go Green Machines!"?

As for "banzai", the actual Japanese battle cry is "Tenno Haika banzai!", which means, "May the Emperor live for 10,000 years!" (When you think about it, look at how long Emperor Hirohito did live!)

Isn't it "Go Green Machine".

I've always found it kind of funny that although Krang swears that Shredder and his mutants are utter failures, he MANY times says "for ONCE you've done something right."

Ah, yes, I remember this catchphrase, though when I was younger, I always thought he was yelling, "Bug's Eye!"

In "The Big Blow Out", Shredder asks Krang why it is that when Rocksteady and Bebop mess up, Krang calls them Shredder's mutants. But at the end, when Rocksteady and Bebop are successful in retrieving the power source modules from the power station, Krang says, "For once MY mutants have dome something right!"
