In defense of CowabOnga guy, he clearly has a southern accent so I doubt he's saying it wrong on purpose.

And yeah the video is lame.

At least the title admits the video is silly. Not my cup of tea, but I've seen simular TMNT videos on youtube of fans having the same kind of fun and messing about.

Speaking of videos. I'm looking forward the to TMNT Documentary some of the people here are setting up, and is something I'd like to contribute to if there is an opening.

I think the idea was alright, but it did not seem at all like something that should be "official". I mean, the intro reminded me of an MST3K riff when they say "camera guy just can't get enough effort to go over there". It seems to stay at that angle and distance for way too long.

I'm not going to sugercoat this, this was embarrasing and a further black eye on TMNT. It makes the franchise look silly, it makes the anniversary feel worthless, it does what seven or three years of the original TMNT did for the characters, and the fanbase, stereotype them the way those worthless VH1 documentaries did with thier unsuspecting victims. The modern show had it's dignity subtley and then not-so-subtley peeled away, we've been left with nothing but vultures on a carcass.

PS: Oh, and I don't like it.

Well the franchise is kind of silly. Even the original comic was meant to be a bit of a satire.

With that said though, it's sad that more effort wasn't put into a promotional video. I mean, if you're that nostalgic about something, you should want to make it look as awesome as how you remember it. The video looks like maybe it was done in 20 minutes.
