"What the Shell"

Oroku Saki · 04-14-2007, 02:49 PM

Have you ever been annoyed by the amount of times the turtles say this phrase in the 2K3 series?

The Terror of Death · 04-14-2007, 02:53 PM

No. Shell is alot better than them saying "heck".

Yes every F#^king time they say it!
It started with the new toon then moved on to the comics and now the movie it's as bad as it's ninja time in my opinion.

For some reason, I love it

same here. it's their thing, ya know.

*Roseangelo* · 04-14-2007, 05:56 PM

I can handle "What the shell?" just fine. What bugs the crap out of me is when they just yell, "Shell!" by itself, in place of sh*t. I much prefer the old replacement of "hippo spit," that showed up in the Archie comics and maybe even some Mirage books, too.

Saying "shell" instead of "hell" is just pathetic and lame. It's not witty anymore. We live in a more harsh world now. Knock it off.

bullet · 04-14-2007, 06:26 PM

anymore? ion think it was ever meant to be witty...more like cutesy. but it's not like our world was ever unharsh, ahha.

i always thought it was just in place of something like, oh hell. i mean, shell of a town or wutever, i'm fine with that. i'm not so much annoyed by it used in place of hell as i am by the way its used in place of too many other things. like pain in the shell, shell for brains, shell, shell shell shell...shell. it's like wading through a cornfield.

*Ava Collier* · 04-14-2007, 06:50 PM

It annoyed me at first. The first time I saw a 2k3 episode, they were saying it a LOT. It made me twitch, and want to break stuff...

...and yet now I say it all the time.

*Warhorse* · 04-14-2007, 07:02 PM

I agree with angelelo when they say the "oh shell", is a bit ridiculous. But in most uses, doesn't bother me. I actually LMAO in Times Trevail, when the time mistress fell onto Raph, and she said something like that wan't a very soft landing, and Raph shouted "Well, excuse the shell out of me!"

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 04-14-2007, 07:03 PM

I dunno but I don't think anything could be worse then "It's Ninja Time"
They could mix of the sayings up a bit. I like when Raph say something like "Crud"

The Shelf · 04-14-2007, 07:23 PM

I don't mind it when they say it, but when they say it so many times that I feel like counting, that's taking it too far. Sometimes it seems like they're saying it just because they can. Once or twice an episode is plenty.

Yeah I don't know though I just finally got the tales of April mirage issue and she keeps saying Spit! Spit! when the big bear is after her...I really doubt some one would be saying spit if a huge moma bear was chasing them.

Since that book was from the ol' Archie team, mebbe "spit" is just an old habit that's hard to break.

Favorite "Oh shell!" moment:

When In "Across the Universe" when the bikes are about to go over Raph's head and Raph just yells out "OH SHELL!" but he holds out the "Shhhhh" part.

*Cascadia* · 04-14-2007, 09:28 PM

what the shell or oh shell is fine with me. I am getting tired of Its Ninja time.

I don't get it?

*Spitfire* · 04-14-2007, 10:29 PM

I'd rather hear that and "It's Ninja Time" then to ever hear them say "Let's turtleize them!" again ever ever ever.
