who's funnier? Classic Raph, or the new Mikey?

Classic Raph. He was funny in that 'not even trying, just being a cynic' kind of way.

And movie Mikey was funny also. Again, in that not trying way. I don't think new mike is all that amusing.

I'll have to go with new toon Mikey. Old toon Raph's scarcasum was almost as irritating as his voice.

It's a hard choice. Old Raph was funny but could get annoying whereas new Mikey is the same. I'd say old Raph was funnier more though. But out of everyone I like the new toon Raph for some humour

Unless you have porkrinds.

All hail the Turtle Comic Team-Up.

I didn't mention why I liked Movie Mikey's sense of humor..they didn't make him look stupid. (none of them looked stupid, they were portrayed right) He was intelligent funny, even with his corny cliches and stuff...he didn't spout off Cowabunga constantly like in the cartoon.
'Course in the new toon, I love when Raph whacks him for that...that's what I'd do, he does it for me. "How many time do I hafta tell ya, no more Cowabunga!"

Classic Raph and Movie Mikey are the best.

I gotta go with old school Raphael. He's just more clever and original with his jokes while Newbie Michaelangelo uses pop culture to make a funny...that and physical humour such as bonking his head on something. Raph is like Jerry Signfeild while Mikey is like Chris Farly. Two different kinds of humour. I love them both, but Raph's witty moments leave a lasting nice flavour while Mikey's antics kinda dissipates after a short while.

OH! OH! Shot in the heart! Rob Paulsen's voice irritating? Blasphemy for sure

I didn't like the voices of the other three turtles either, Leo just sounds too old. Mike, one thing I can't stand is a droning Americian accent. As for Donny, nine simple words; Where the hell's Desmond Llewelyn when you need him?

Wha?? I hope you don't think all Americans speak like old 'toon Mikey. I think his accent was based on the surfer talk that's all over California's coast.

As for the voices, I'll admit that Raph was odd sounding to me at first. I grew to like it, and I've got no problems with the VAs who worked on the show. *shrug* To each his own.

Back on topic. For me, the choice between old 'toon Raph and new Mikey is a difficult once. Raph's sarcasm always cracked me up in the old 'toon, especially when he and his bros were in the middle of a fight. I think my vote would go to new Mikey, however, because his pop culture refrences and slapstick comedy go well together. All in all, I like them both and it's hard to choose one because of their varying styles of comedy...
