Newton Gimmick · 07-19-2012, 06:10 AM

That was actually pretty hilarious.

god those 2 guys r tone deaf...

Vincent · 07-19-2012, 07:24 AM

I'm guessing (or at least hoping) these guys aren't actually writers for the show.

*Mr.Turtle* · 07-19-2012, 07:27 AM

They are and I thought they were pretty funny. Writers hardly get any respect, without them there would be no show.

Yeah, a little bit too Raph...

What else can I say but awesome? Well, except OH MY GOSH THEIR WEARING SUPPORT THE FOOT HATS! This does not bode well for our heroes if the writers themselves are allied with the Foot!

The foot wrote the show.... Un-cool, very un-cool...LOL!
Funny video, thanks for sharing!!!!

I've gotta say, these guys cracked me up. Obviously playing on the writers-aren't-appreciated-enough schtick (which, as we all know, they're not), they had the right blend of silliness and sarcasm to entertain me. Maybe the show won't be as "slapstick" as the promotional material has had me guessing.

I absolutely love that guy's severe discomfort when the writers were singing for him.

*Zany Orange Dude* · 07-19-2012, 10:57 AM

Those guys were hilarious! Poor writers, they are so under appreciated.

*ToTheNines* · 07-19-2012, 10:59 AM

Funniest part was Russ making fun of Bebop and Rockateady. Pretty spot on eh?

Fifty bucks say that if the hacks who write the IDW books did the exact same thing, you'd be kissing their ass

Let them have thier fun. Writers for this kind of show need to have this light side to things.

Kevin Eastman who helps with the story and Tom Waltz who actually writes it...?

Hacks?

I don't think so Tim.

Huh? I haven't even read the IDW stuff yet, other than a couple of issues (which didn't give me enough of an impression to figure out whether or not I like it yet). Why would I kiss their ass? And um...isn't Kevin Eastman co-writing it?
The reason why I said "I'm guessing (or at least hoping) these guys aren't actually writers for the show." was because I got the impression that they were actively trying to irritate people and mocking the fans and legacy of TMNT by dismissing everything that's not in the new version, which seems like a pretty bad way to promote a new show (and represent a business).
I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed to have a bit of fun with it, but I get the impression they're trying to give the new show a bad reputation, which seems like an odd thing for employed writers to do.

That stuff was done tongue in cheek. Although I think they may have taken it a tad too far here or there when razzing some fans. It was done in jest.
