Ridiculous moments

*ToTheNines* · 02-05-2010, 10:49 AM

Remember all the arguing in the Turtles Forever thread over the portrayl of the OT characters? While I think it was just a tad over-board, they weren't far off. Anyways, through out the thread, no one actually cited any examples from the OT. So here we are.

NOTE: This isn't an OT bashing thread, we all know the show was ridiculous (in a good way).

Example of OT turtles: in "Casey Jones, Outlaw Hero" Raphael drives right into a pond simply because Donatello told him to go straight.

Now I'm not saying the NT was totally realistic, but if the NT turtles were there for that, they woulda been like "WTF?". So call Turtles Forever "mean spirited" all you want, I think it accurately shows how the two universes collide.

More examples are welcome

Casey not taking his mask of going undercover in OT was a rather wtf moment

The Turtles become inflated into balloon-like floats in one episode, and Splinter saves them with moth balls. Don asks, "How did you save us with moth balls?" Splinter says something like, "The story called for it."

April deactivates the master computer in one of the Season 2 episodes simply by pulling out the plug in the wall.

One of the gangster episodes had a device that only attracts old antiques.

The old toon was filled with ridiculous moments, but that's why I enjoyed it. The show had a, "this is so bad its good" type of mentality to it. The writers knew they were doing crazy stuff but they didn't care because they were having too much fun.

I think my favorite episodes of the OT were the ones where the turtles themselves were the straight men to the lunacy.

Case in point: "The Cufflink Caper"

Don: "It's a zamboni machine!"
Mike: "No way dude, it's that thing that smooths out the ice!"
Don: "A zamboni machine is the thing that smooths out the ice."
Raph: "Can we argue about this later boys? We're about to become turtle pancakes."

The mobsters are Babyface "the Beaver" Clever and his brother Wally.
They're going after exploding cufflinks.
There's talk about French Provincial architecture.

The whole episode is just...nuts. And I love every second of it.

Casey not taking off his mask when he infiltrated the Octopus corporation.

*CyberCubed* · 02-05-2010, 09:04 PM

There's one ep where Shredder calls Krang on the communicator, and Krang (inside his android body), is dripping wet and he has a towel around his waist. Krang says, "You just interrupted my bath."

Why the hell would Krang take a bath WITH his robot body?

God I love the old toon sometimes.

*Candy Kappa* · 02-06-2010, 05:57 AM

Not OT but in the 2 episode toy commercial Anime. Shredder calls Krang a squid and threatens to eat him, and the Foot soldier vacation was a ridiculous moment

.. wait the whole thing was a ridiculous moment

Not only that, but they "reintroduced" Big Louie in that episode when it was his head thug in Act 1 that had been seen before as The Butcher in the "Maltese Hamster" (mentioned above).

I loved both episodes!!

"La la la! I have a date! I can't be late!"

Anything and everything featuring Howie.

*Coola Yagami* · 02-06-2010, 08:13 PM

Plan 6 from Dimension X.

Bebop just picks up a regular phone in the Channel 6 building and says 'Get me Dimension X!" and bam, the Technodrome in Dimension X has its phone ringing. LMAO.

Props to that operator for knowing Dimension X's area code.

*ToTheNines* · 02-06-2010, 08:24 PM

Loose transcription from "Invasion of the Turtle Snatchers"

*buncha bull sh*t about Don getting abducted*
Splinter: Yes... I have sensed an alien presence lately
April: This will make a great story!
Splinter: Donatello!? With Aliens!? This sounds serious!

*Coola Yagami* · 02-06-2010, 10:44 PM

Yeah, that sounded weird. Like I dunno... the way Splinter said it. Did he think the aleins would force Don to make evil inventions for em, or did he think Don would pass out from overexcitement of seeing all that advanced alien technology?

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 02-06-2010, 10:57 PM

Maybe he was worried that Donatello would be seduced by the dark side...

*Sage Ninja* · 02-07-2010, 11:53 AM

or anally probed?

It's "Plan 6 from Outer Space".

*ToTheNines* · 02-08-2010, 09:41 AM

Like I said, I love the OT for how ridiculous it is... but this one's just plain stupid: The ending of the first Lotus episode, she "disguises" her self as a pizza delivery boy and walks right into the guys lair, they don't even flinch!

doomiscool · 02-08-2010, 11:39 AM

In the episode "Donatello Makes Time", that nutty professor claims he was forced to go floating through the sewers...but he then goes to a house he apparently had.

Not to mention the fact he stumbles across the turtles lair and is just all "Oh look, a time stopper!" as if it's an everyday occurrence, when he clearly only just walked up and couldn't have seen it in action

*CyberCubed* · 02-08-2010, 01:08 PM

The fact that old toon Don was intelligent enough to create a device that stops time says a lot in itself.

And a dimensional portal in season 3? Did he steal equipment from the Technodrome, or maybe used equipment from that Star Cruiser the Neutrinos left on the Earth back in season 1.

*Coola Yagami* · 02-09-2010, 07:54 AM

Which factors in Turtles Forever when he turned a flashlight into a dimensional portal stick. LOL
