NINJA TURTLES "The Insecta Trifecta" REVIEW & RECAP

[@lisabarnes924]

If karai keeps on getting saved by the turtles she'll break princess peach's record of being kidnapped by the enemy.

[@XJIcequeen]

Or 1987 April constantly being rescued in every episode

[@razamatar]

Does ninja turtles have a plumber enemy?

[@lisabarnes924]

Riley Graves who knows.... \_(•_• )_/

[@beboprocksteadyrulez1099]

Riley Graves they had one but a former plumber(or a former human to be precise)muckman I guess.

[@donathan2933]

Bit she's only been captured 3 times!

[@queendsheena1]

I had a feeling Nick was not going to go full on filler but they really took care of us. Plus we saw Baxter really take care of business and Raphael gain control of his phobia. Splinter is such a smart old soul. Love him forever. Thanks for another cool recap Andre.

[@madisoncurtain1776]

Why didn't you talk about the part when Raph hides in the dumpster, and screams like a girl..... XD

[@XJIcequeen]

Reminded me of Season 5 episode 4 of Ninjago. When Cole screamed like a girl when he thought he saw a ghost

[@misterdoctor8389]

Oh yeah, his scream was priceless XD

[@XJIcequeen]

Who? Raph or Cole?

[@misterdoctor8389]

!cequeen toonw!tch Both.

[@Lloyd_6192]

Icequeen NinjaWarrior I remember that, I still love how Cole screamed in that scene. 😅😅

[@TheArrJames]

April getting the "ninja eye" thing in the group shot and her and Karai fighting side by side was great. Need more of that.

[@tisha2hip]

I'm happy Raphael and Splinter had a moment. It's always about Leo! There's only one heart to heart with Donnie, and I don't even know about Mikey. I'd like to see more bonding moment with Splinter and the turtles. Maybe even Karai!

[@KamronA]

I love the fact that April now has the ninja white eyes like the turtles when they make an epic ninja entrance. Also wtf is wrong with you Baxter? Shredder turned you into a fly man! He's now down and weakened and completely at your mercy!! Finish that fool off or mutate him into a cockroach! Come on man!!

[@MaddoxEzman]

I hope he does Baxter should just poison him so Shredder is dead!

[@jayza883]

who else noticed that urkel figure

[@RavenHyper]

I did😂

[@biff.]

It's not that hard to notice

[@sahrthomas3376]

+RavenHyper me too

[@BlackNerdComedy]

What Urkel figure?

[@alphageodude8837]

the one behind you

[@TurtleTime26]

Internet, if you make Raphrax an actual thing...

[@kalebsantos72]

It will be disturbing

[@XJIcequeen]

+Kaleb Santos and unnecessary. Raph has Mona! #RaMona

[@PanCakeFace]

Knowing the Internet, I think they will

[@QbrotherSoulStar]

fuck that I want "Ninja Turtle maneuver gear" and some Attack of the Mega Shredder2

[@MathanFlug]

+Turtle Source it's not real... for now

[@neonal18]

Personally, my favorite small moment from the episode was when April and Karai fought back-to-back, if only for a brief moment. It's so cool remembering season 1 where Karai was still loyal to Shredder and April was just getting into her training. Now they're on the same side, April's officially a kunoichi, and we get to those see two awesome ninja girls fight together. Thank you TMNT 2012. Now let Karai freaking hold her own until the Turtles arrive for once. Having them keep coming to rescue her does a disservice to her. She was personally trained by Shredder since she was young. She's a snake mutant for crying out loud! Let her be awesome on her own.

[@thesoulofthedark875]

R.I.P NINJA TURTLES 2012 IT WILL REMAIN IN OUR HEARTS

[@BuraiMurian]

I'm sensing a pattern with karai. too many rescues for her XD

[@NintendodudeX]

Yeah who does she think she is 1980s April?

[@twinodoom]

The packs reminded me of attack on titans 3DM gear

[@QbrotherSoulStar]

same

[@jaycorp.7222]

Does Andre even watch anime? I'm very curious about that

[@sebastianquintero1834]

Me too, but it didn't come off as ripping off to me. Nothing is 100% original anymore

[@TheChief506]

same

[@queenclarity4709]

Attack on Turtle. ^^

[@siothio]

The backpack is also like the 3D Maneuver Gear from Attack on Titan. Actually it's EXACTLY like it

[@MiMiTheMemer]

Hey, what about the part when April called Baxter Stockman Tyler? As in I don't know... maybe Tyler Perry?!?!? The same Tyler Perry who played Baxter Stockman in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows" perhaps? So totally a reference........😏

[@spdrwrtr]

Surprised you didn't mention April had the "White out" irises like the Turtles when they come to save Karai. That is actually a neat touch by the animators

[@BlueV101]

I caught that to. Neat effect.

[@monkey9208]

same

[@XJIcequeen]

The Raph kissing Antrax thing was gross, but very funny! I even saw Mikey placing Donnie's hand over his eyes

[@XJIcequeen]

And the bug blushing

[@WardNightstone]

didn't notice till you showed the still but April totally had the ninja eyes going on

[@wanderinghuntress8645]

This is the best Splinter in the franchise. Hands down

[@lancemuise2005]

yep,80s & 4kids splinter was weak sauce...can't even fightbhis. sons

[@KoshVader]

To be fair though, he was considerably older in those versions.

[@AnonymousFlower5]

The fuck does he have to do with this

[@TheBohobemeister]

+Dark Claw Whoops. Somehow, I read that as "Shredder".

[@ssantos88]

100% agree. The same can be said about this Shedder in my opinion.

[@OscarG787]

Every episode in season 4 has been great in my opinion. Twists and turns it just keeps getting better and better. I'm excited to be a turtle fan once again! Booyakasha-Cowabunga!!!!!!!!!

[@MaddoxEzman]

Booyakabunga!

[@gerardorodriguez7500]

The weirdest thing is when Ralph kiss the ant mutant

[@SegaMaster172]

+Gerardo Rodriguez Ikr. Not only was the ant mutant "Antrax" (as named by Mikey) was blushing heavily and actually tried to pull Raph back in for another kiss, Raph literally slipped the mutant bug some tongue!!! You can actually see Raph's tongue slide out of Antrax's mouth when he push away in shock!

[@XJIcequeen]

Nasty

[@sparky3574]

+SegaMaster172 so I was right...antrax is a girl,and she might got a crush on him!

[@gerardorodriguez7500]

+sparky 357 anthrax the mutant ant is a girl, how do you know?

[@sparky3574]

Gerardo Rodriguez well...the ant blushed red,and it was holding raph when he kissed antrax,so needless to say that antrax is a girl

[@grodriguez7225]

I loved this! My favorite moments are when we see Turtfly comes back! April and Karai working together! They are really including Karai in a lot more episodes this season, I guess she must have an important arc this season!

[@Hewylewis]

No Attack on Titan jokes, Andre? Seriously?

[@BlackNerdComedy]

Sorry, my brain went Ghostbusters. I guess it's because I want an animated Ninja Turtles/Ghostbusters crossover special so bad!

[@Hewylewis]

Well, I hope you make up for it next week. LOL

[@JMandJJ7797]

First there would have to be a really good Ghostbusters cartoon.

[@JMandJJ7797]

+Juan Medrano You get a like for liking something I like. That anime is good stuff.

[@joelfigueredo1168]

Hewy Toonmore man I love myself some blue berry waffles

[@leiahamato3537]

i hope dark leo comes back

[@diggi6968]

Yeah he did look awesome

[@MaddoxEzman]

He wasn't exactly "dark" it was just his foot clan outfit but yeah me too!

[@Ac3ington2]

+Maya Karagianni he still wasn't "dark" Leo....dark Leo is the one the JOINED the foot clan with shedder...in that episode he just helped out karai

[@pyreneesgal5823]

You're not the only one who's afraid of bugs, Andre. I get freaked out by roaches, centipedes, scorpions, and spiders. I love ladybugs and butterflies. But the bigger the roach/centipede/scorpion/spider, the more I freak and the higher chance that I will faint.

[@LeopoldLitchenstein]

00:50 But Andre, Casey was in City at War at April's Kunoichi graduation he just didn't speak

[@BlackNerdComedy]

And then he walked out and was never seen again until now, ha ha! #SecretOfTheOozeVacation

[@LeopoldLitchenstein]

Andre "Black Nerd" He must be a master of the vanishing act

[@jay_jd5117]

+Andre "Black Nerd" He was fight crime as Green Arrow.

[@mshiiba7405]

I'm so glad you make recaps, Andre. Really. I FORGOT about the new episode until I saw your recap on my subscription list. I was totally..."shell shocked." OHHHHH- anyway, you make me laugh and recognize references that I should've noticed when I watched it, so I thank you. ^u^

[@sasamichan]

Karai is getting kidnapped too often to be the worthy successer to Shredder. also I still want my Samurai Rabbit.

[@pyreneesgal5823]

If you look really closely when Raph is kissing the ant, you can see the ant blushing. I'm not kidding.

[@pyreneesgal5823]

YAAS! You sang "Shell Shocked"! Thank you so much, dude!

[@jeremywilliams5675]

I like the scene where Leo and Mikey were talking about their favorite cartoons, and I like the Raph and Splinter moments I know the other turtles have fears they'll come across one day, and I love the ending Super Shredder is coming, this is good with Super Shredder coming I think this time it will take more than just Splinter alone to defeat him it will take him and the turtles about time Shredder became a Mutant since most of his henchmen became Mutants.

[@TheHalfblood.Studios]

I kinda hope that Raph's panic attacks won't just be a one time thing. I feel like they could do more with it, and the animation sequences were actually really cool. They might even be able to have some Raph and April bonding, with her helping him or something... Also more Splinter lessons. Yes please.

[@smartwise_Sam]

0:06-"The Insecta Trifecta" Titles: The Infecta Trifecta Lol

[@soundwave803]

Raphael chants Azarath Metrion Zinthos and FINALLY gets over his bug fear.

[@sirfroggyausaurus3759]

Am I the only one who thinks the new invention Donatello made makes him look like the Michael bay Donnie

[@MaddoxEzman]

OMG I thought that too!

[@donathan2933]

Maybe Raph isn't afraid of normal bugs, but he's afraid of mutant bugs. And since when was Raph afraid of Srockman Fly?

[@shellbacksclub]

super jelly of that 'Talking Steve Urkel Doll' u have, Andre! u win the Nostalgia toy game with that thing!🐢

[@fictionfan23]

No comment on April having the pupil less ninja eyes that the turtles sometimes get when they save Karai? I feel that that was a nice touch. I know we've seen April pupil less before, but to see it while she's posing with the turtles is really cool

[@davidmcbride8514]

I love the quiet Splinter moments too. Scumbug's attack was weird. When I first saw it I was like that's pretty graphic looking. Not a bug fan either. I'd like to see Ace Duck.

[@Shira_animageek]

I was almost gonna puke like 3 or 4 times during the episode. 1st the ants, 2nd the giant bug who throws like slime but more icky by his but to Casey. Raph kissing the ant. Almost going to see how is a RAMONA kiss! 3rd the giant bug again throwing that icky thingy to Casey's mouth

[@jasmingonzalez9182]

I feel so bad for Raphael! I can't wait till Mona Lisa comes back!

[@fondlyfearful4280]

I can wait for her if it means she won't come back. I am not a fan, if you are fine, though. In my opinion, Mona Lisa is the most unneeded, and might be the worst character in the show because of that. If you took that she is Raphael's love interest out of the mix, of what use would she be? She's not even the best love interest! I respect your opinion, though, but I think Raph should find someone else. Mona Lisa just feels forced.

[@lancemuise2005]

+Neon Potato I agree ,I'm no fan of her...but during season 4 space adventures I was desprete for mona because she makes the ep abit better...well,not her actually,but Sal commander but they appear toghther all da time so

[@XJIcequeen]

Me too

[@cruzzo260]

I don't like RaphXMona too... It makes me cringe watching Raph swooning over Mona.. Uuugghhh..

[@tianchristopher2274]

+Neon Potato Is you serious? Ramona is the cutest thing in the TMNT universe!!!!!!!!!!

[@Swenglish]

Well, it was sort of the first time the term shell shock was used somewhat properly.

[@BlueV101]

Very true.

[@Oliver-jc6wn]

Your reviews give the episodes a little extra life for me 😂 I now can sit and watch the episode and say stuff out loud like "Smoooooooth Donatellooooo" and not even think twice 😂

[@monteljguzman4413]

hero's in the half shell turtle power

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Andre I am super excited that you are coming to retropoolza in Dallas,tx in October

[@pascalfernandes6432]

What i üpersonly loved about this ep is that it again showed howmuich Karai cares about all of them! She loves every on of them now and hates shredder and COMEONE this April and Karai Fighting together like Sisters was SO COOL

[@MaddoxEzman]

It was awesome!

[@ArthurCrane92]

The harness looks like a cross between the proton pack and the omnidirectional gear from Attack On Titan. More of that Playmates money.

[@rodster6campingprepper]

I'd love to see Ray Fillet, Wingnut and Screwloose join the Mutanimals.

[@MaddoxEzman]

And Usagi!!!

[@TightPantsJack]

Anyone else notice that Baxter's new lair being in a high-rise construction site was a reference to “Big Apple, 3am?"

[@BewareofBordome]

The Backpack's that Donny made reminded me more of the 3D-Maneuver Gears from Attack on Titan.

[@Abby-vf1jf]

I saw this video on my suggestions list and I clicked on it and about 5 seconds into it, my phone buzzed and gave me the notification for this video and I was like "....in your face KZbin! I beat you to it!" *evil smile* I've also been waiting for a new Raphael based episode for a while now, and now it's happened and I have peace of mind again....at least enough to hold me over until Mona Lisa comes back ^-^

[@BlackNerdComedy]

Good work with the quick response :)

[@Abby-vf1jf]

+Andre "Black Nerd" Thanks I try :)

[@Abby-vf1jf]

+Maya Karagianni You get it ;)

[@HerroShad3]

I got so many anime vibes with this episode. 1) Those packs were basically 3d maneuver gear. 2) With Shredder with those bandages turning into a mutant kinda reminds me of Naraku a little bit.

[@XJIcequeen]

(When Shredder has claw like spikes come out of his hands) Oh Crap!! Super Shredder's coming and he's badass!!

[@turtleicecream5031]

U wanna know what I think that Venus would be good in this series. if they tweak her a bit. u know like get her more into the modern world. Make her powers more useful like April's and give her a better voice actor and personality. I mean I love Venus as a character. She looks awesome, has cool powers, and if Nickelodeon does it right even make her and one of the turtles together. I mean of course not Mikey or Raph, but considering that Apriltello is very low in the series. I wouldn't mind Don or Leo having her. Please like if u agree.

[@MaddoxEzman]

I agree!

[@ComradePopov]

so nobody noticed how April called Baxter Stockman "Tyler"?

[@gerardorodriguez7500]

There one Classic character they haven't show in this new tmnt series, is usagi yojimbo the samurai rabbit

[@lancemuise2005]

definitely would be good to seecp him....it could be splinters father,hahaha

[@gerardorodriguez7500]

+lance muise what does that even mean?

[@kalebsantos72]

I would love to see him

[@uneek35]

His name is Miyamoto Usagi and you probably won't see him unless his creator Stan Sakai gives them permission.

[@furbyguy]

It would be cool to see Him return, he was one of my favorite side characters in the '03 Turtles show.

[@gentlemanmaniac9992]

so shredder's got bone claws Jeremy's gonna be pissed.

[@melainatar]

USAGI!!!!! We need Miyamoto Usagi coming to this tmnt verse!!

[@MaddoxEzman]

Agreed!

[@BlueV101]

Another thing to consider, it there may be 2 more members to the "Mighty Mutanimals." Or maybe a rogue mutant sect with no alliance to the Turtles or Shredder.

[@44BlueFoxes]

fanx playm8s ;-D somewhere there's an executive watching this video going "He's onto us!"

[@9Maciej]

If only I who thought about colonel Shreider (you know, this alien version of Shredder with spikes out of his body, wich was supposed to appear in Ninja Tutrles 2014) when I saw the ending of this episode?

[@JCFromPA215]

I loved the Raid bug commercial reference

[@animemusiccentral7504]

Is it a bad thing that " you are the one that lets fear control you" theme reminded me of After earth??

[@blonic5198]

One thing, where the heck was Shinigami when this was happening? Was she searching for Shredder?

[@BlackNerdComedy]

She stole some of that burned money and went shopping! Them hats ain't cheap! Ha ha ha!

[@XJIcequeen]

+Andre "Black Nerd" comedy gold!!

[@Chris_Cross-pf3dp]

LOL, that is so Shinigami.

[@kayteaandbiscuits]

i love that mikey/leo scene of them arguing over cartoons

[@prince_nocturne]

We need some Usagi Yojimbo in the new show! Who owns the rights to that? MAKE IT HAPPEN, NICK!

[@SPac316]

It was a fun episode. That puckered tube on that bug was...tacky. lol! I would like to see Chrome Dome return. It was a cool figure from the vintage toyline that I liked(aside from that awkward stance the figures from the 80's/90's TMNT toyline often had).

[@ztslovebird]

I want to see the Turtles set up a Revelation-type meeting with all of Shredder's minions, offering Retro Mutagen in exchange for helping to take Shredder down and testifying against Shredder in court.

[@introspectre7713]

You didn't mention that the construction site fight was a reference to Turtles in Time where you fight Baxter Stockman Fly in a consctruction level.

[@Psychosis0387]

I'm surprised Andre missed the turtles in time reference with the fight with Baxter Stockman Fly taking place in a construction site, just like the first level of that game (or hyperstone heist if you owned a Genesis)

[@samurado2128]

Usagi Yojimbo!!!!!!..Always loved the rivalry with him and leo. Would also like to see some reference on the 2000 TMNT episode "Same as it never was" blind Leo, one armed Mikey... whoa.

[@polvoaranha2104]

That building looks like the one they fought the Bigfoot in the 2007 movie.

[@BuraiMurian]

I feel for Ralph in this episode. lol too many bugs in this weeks Ep

[@danielbursiaga9079]

The construction site. Locks like the same one from the 2007 movie when they fight the first monster

[@JazzyRedMusic]

I'd actually really like to see them have a character or short reference for Angel from 2k3

[@BlueV101]

Andre, first off, I got the "Raid!? Boom." reference. Takes me back. Also, no comment on the hint at Casey's fear of heights? We're gonna have to "rap" about Ninja Turtles some time.

[@jacobchanza6163]

I REALLY have to catch up on this show,the last time I saw it was when they were in space.

[@packers4life998]

When I was watching this episode a ant was crawling on my leg

[@M1ckTheMan]

He didn't have a toy, but I REALLY want Alpha One to come back, he was so cool!

[@joechapman1021]

oh and a rocketers,haunted Manson,tower of terror and wrickle in time remakes.also would love if you do videos for these.

[@werdman24]

Love those classic Raid commercials.

[@lancemuise2005]

well,looks like skumbug & that antrux is the 2 new shredder mutants we get each season....but they kinda remind me of the shredder mutants stockman had b4

[@THGhost1337]

Who else noticed the store named Cowabunga? 😁

[@alexandrabrown068]

Out of the whole hilarious and accurate recap of this episode all I bother to comment about was that you still use the old Instagram logo (which in my opinion looks so much better 😂)

[@DoraKage]

So new toy ideas: Leo gets the black bandana costume Mikey keeps his Moth hero costume Don gets this new Attack on Titan style gear I wonder if Raph will get... the Night Thrasher costume?

[@simbasorariku3]

The turtles have ODM gear from Attack On Titan!!!

[@renji90998]

That Urkel doll reminds me of Stevil😈

[@RhyperiorRanger]

KNOCK KNOCK YOU ABOUT TO GET SHELL SHOCKED

[@MaddoxEzman]

Knock knock you about to get Shell Shocked!

[@MaddoxEzman]

Knock knock you about to get Shell Shocked!

[@catlover1944]

I know how you feel, dude. I hate bugs myself, except for butterflies and lady bugs. Awesome recap, dude :)

[@mazinkaizer0]

Anyone else get a more an "attack on Titan" feel from those backpacks?

[@Phyxelle]

And I thought this episode will be a filler.. Guess I was wrong. But we really need a breather episode and I hope Gangland is one.

[@lancemuise2005]

I think that's when the mutanimals come in,because I saw a promo where Leatherhead & mondo are in it

[@XJIcequeen]

+lance muise can't wait

[@XJIcequeen]

I bet that the turtles get weakened by those anti-mutant weapons like they were with Muckman's slime puke last season

[@Papadoc1981]

TBH, I thought the entire space saga felt like filler. It was probably the least interesting of all the storylines since the show began in 2012. Now it feels like it's back on track since they returned to New York.

[@XJIcequeen]

Playmates play money!!

[@tiberiuskirk8690]

The way the packs worked had me thinking of Attack on Titan

[@TheBlueExplosion9000]

I'd be more surprised if someone didn't remember that commercial.

[@sethcarlow8363]

i am so happy that i did not see this ep. do not like bugs. but i am so looking forward to the awesome next ep of Ninja Turtles.

[@TheDeathtoll99]

Well it turns out Andre and Misty from pokemon have something in common

[@KingSonicFanX]

Shredder has been going through the Weapon X program to become the next Wolverine.

[@zforce7925]

I like the attention to detail on April because throughout the series we see the turtles do that thing where their eyes go white and April can only do it when she is an official ninja and it shows how far April has come in the show

[@wesandes40]

Wait, why is Stockman helping shredder, again? I thought they didn't like eachother very much.

[@purplefern6010]

Good question. One that I'm sure the show won't address.

[@wesandes40]

Elizabeth H Hooray for pessimism!!!

[@TheBohobemeister]

Well, Stockman doesn't have many options seeing as to how he's a mutant fly. Also, Stockman has a "lack of friends and respect" problem. You could really see in this episode how much having friends and respect meant to him. As for Shredder, Stockman is the only one capable of messing with the Mutagen without it backfiring.

[@martymcfly1312]

Andre you need to help me get back to 1955 so I can steal back the sports almanac from Biff

[@sarascopellito5793]

All I need in life is an episode where karai saves Leo instead of Leo saving karai k thx bye
