nice to finally see it. sadly, I vaguely remember this tape, having owned it
myself. I'm pretty sure it bored the shit out of me as a kid. for some odd
reason my parents dictated what movies or tapes i watched back then, and not in
the sense of 'oh your too young for that', more like 'oh i know you wanna watch
Ninja turtles 2 the Secret of the Ooze but you're gonna watch Alvin and the
Chipmunks instead'. not that it usually bothered me, but whenever this was on i
think i complained.

anyways funny stuff guys!

This is really one of those gimmicky money grabs that is as bad now as when it
was released, so I really think you would remember it if you had seen it. Still
maybe it was when you were too young to consciously remember it. I actually
recall being somewhat entertained by the "soundtrack" that Pizza Hut
used as an audio narcotic to get kids to force their parents into their
restaurants(as if their bread sticks weren't already addictive enough). I would
torture my parents with that ridiculous album every time we were in the car(I
can still remember the "in pain" expression my folks had during that
retarded April O'Neil ballad.

"They said April, you can count on us" LMFAO!

However, once I got the chance to see the video I realized how lame the whole
thing really was. I hate to say it but the whole ordeal started the process of
me turning my back on the TMNT franchise, while the third movie made it
official. Bad ideas like this are disastrously destructive to IPs no matter how
much you care about them. Considering I was still in my "single digit
years"(ages 1-9)at the time this had to be truly horrible. You would think
that atleast tiny bit of effort would have been put into making this somewhat
decent for the legions of children fans. The culmination of horrible facial
animations on the turtles, terrible lyrics(though I will atleast say the music
was minimally catchy, in a garbage bubblegum pop way),terrible costumes on all
the characters(most notably Shredder, and Splinter), and lack of any enthusiasm
during the performance just made this fucking insulting!


On a side note, the song used in the intro made me think of "Tom Goes to the
Mayor", and in this case it is a good thing. I fucking miss that show!

The theme song was the ALF theme actually.

Good video as always. I hope you two do these more often. Even if you do have to
drive a long distance to get together.

you know that show is on [adult swim], right?

HAMSTER JELLY!?

While this comment is something like 6 months old I felt it necessary to
respond. Yes they still show TGTTM on Adult Swim, but only re-runs. Sadly it was
canceled after the second season, but at least it made the price of series
collection reasonable(i am trying to be optimistic, but I really fucking miss
seeing new episodes.) Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! is usually very
funny, but Tom's humor was much more consistent in my humble opinion.

As for the song used being the "Alf" theme, I just said it reminded me
of TGTTM's music. It seriously makes me wonder if Tim, and Eric were big Alf
fans.

this is weird this video came out on my birthday hell yeah

I've waited for this for a while now. Thanks Doug! I'm happy to have this be
released on my birthday, could not have asked for a better birthday present. ^^
I look forward to seeing the George of the Jungle (maybe someday) and Gargoyles
review. TMNT was before my time, so I was never really into it as much as other
people. Gargoyles was always my Ninja Turtles. Coincidencially, I just started
rewatching Gargoyles -- never noticed how hot Demona and Elisa were before lol.


Yeah, the Coming Out of Their Shells thing seems really bad, even worse than the
4kids cartoon...

Although I was expecting a video game/movie collab review, I must say very well
done.

However, DAMN YOU TWO FOR USING THE TV SITCOM EFFECTS! >.< lol

Keep up the duo reviews!

Ha! Probably one of your best yet, keep up the good work guys seriously ^_^

Seriously this was a great idea and I didn't even know this existed and in a
weird way I wish I had, always more fun to watch a review when you've seen the
subject before, Heh.

PS I want your tie ...no, really!

Best. Combination of reviewers. EVER.

I hope you do more than one Critic and Nerd review, it's things like this that
make the internet worth surfing.

FUCK YEAH

SWEET!

so...is the nerd now part of the website

nah just a partner of the site, he does collaborations here and there with NC

Pinch me,because i must be dreaming.Fan-FUCKING-tastic Critic and Nerd

This= EPIC WIN!!!

Now, this TMNT...thing is either the very definition of Surrealism...or a
mindfuck...

It's all about the Turtles

finally

As a kid, here in México, I would have just died out of joy had I ever seen the
TMNT singing on the stage...

Yeah, I kind of liked that sort of crap.

Anyway, this was really funny. I laughed so hard at that weird frozen Raphael
(or was he?)

Splinter looks like some werewolf.

That last gag with the pen was priceless. Hope to get some more of the 2 of you
together.

yeeesssss this is so epic

Great video!! Worth the wait.

This video was awesome. You two worked off each other really well.

awesome review doug and james

truly awesome

words cannot describe this

oh man, I haven't even watched it yet, I can't wait

What... not ONE SINGLE mention of Splinter's song, "Skipping Stones?"

Oh god... now I remember it all over again. Kill me.

Yea seriously! And Shredder did a song about hating music! (only the parents
clapped, I told my mom she shouldn't clap because he's the bad guy, he also took
the audience "hostage" or something)

I could have sworn there was more...plot...of sorts....at least a musical number
with pizza guys.

The Nerd and the Critic work well together. This is amazing.

But wow, I didn't actually know they tried to make a live TMNT band. I guess, in
the words of the Critic, "The Cash Cow goes MOOOOOO!"

It's finally here! Truly this is a momentous occasion.

Ninja Frogs? You mean BATTLE TOADS?

Sorry, couldn't help it. ide:' title='ide:' class='postemoticon' />

Awesome video doods.

I was there!



Universal Studios, Hollywood. I was no more then 5-6 years old, and somehow,
someway, I got tickets with my Mom and Grandmother.



As a little kid, it was the greatest show of my life. But looking back at it, it
was pretty damn silly. Still, as the ultimate Turtle fan as a kid, I wouldn't
change that experience for the world.



Thanks for the review, Boys. ^_^

Wow, really!? You were actually there when it happened?

Awesome. This review lived up to it's expectations!

Of course you can play Bass with only one string. Have you ever listened to Fall
Out Boy?

Awesome review boys, it was a lot of fun. Thanks!

Cow-luagh indeed...

Sexcellently awesome

well, that sucked so so so much.

nice review, great stuff

Wow... that's bad. I forgot that whole concert existed. It's even worse than
the Next Mutation and TMNT, though I can't say that's absolute worst Ninja
Turtles tie-in ever (there's also that Walt Disney World stage show).

Yay! AVGN NC colaberation review!



Boo! TMNT Coming outt of Their Shells.
