I'm born in 84, Turtles ruled my childhood. Everyone in school was talking about Turtles. I was 6 when the first movie came out, too young to see it in theaters, but I watched the cartoons, collected all the toys and watched the movies on VHS. If you are somewhere in my age range, you have to know the names of the Turtles or you lived under a rock.

[@Chaoitcme]

I was born in 84 too. I saw all of the 3 Turtle movies in theatres when they were originally released.

[@tenyokensekia8088]

@@Chaoitcme Few years later for me. I liked the Turtles, but I was much more of a transformers kid. Which isn't to say I don't have Nostalgia for Turtles though. Who didn't in their hayday?

[@The_RedVIII]

@@Chaoitcme I only saw the third one in theaters, I think in never really noticed when the others came out. I think I saw them on TV the first time.

[@Chaoitcme]

@@The_RedVIII Oh, I remember seeing them and being so excited. I remember coming out of the theatre when I saw the first movie at age 6 pretending I was Donatello using my drink straw as a Bo.

[@Redwaters]

Glad to see 80's kids here. Felt old when they said they were 2 and 4 when the first movie came out. Was too young to collect the original comics at the time, but did collect the Archies ones that started based on the cartoon and then spun off onto their own. Memories of this game was attending a convention that had an arcaded with it. I was playing with three other adults (I was the only kid playing) when I ran out of quarters and this guys was like, "I got ya" and just start pumping quarters in for all the players cause we he was so invested in the game and was enjoying everyone playing. When he as ran out of money, we had built up quite a crowd of people watching and cheering as we neared the end that they were running for the change machine trying to get quarters. I think a least a $50 in quarters were pumped into that machine, but there was great cheering and high fives when we finally won.

[@CatStamps]

Thanks for this guys! This was a much needed pick me up after a crazy week. I’m so happy Ted got to join too. Much love, guys!

[@NorsePunk]

The original Turtles was in syndication for a long while and shortly after that I remember various other iterations in different styles have come out throughout my childhood and adolescence. I feel like TMNT has never lost its relevance. :P

[@shoken4421]

Watching the guys play this brings back so many memories from my childhood. Thank you guys for playing this.

[@slavkei]

New rule for Eff itt Beard Bros: "We reserve the right to have more fun." - If you are having enough fun that you want to keep going, then you will keep playing for fun, and people can consider it free bonus content. IF you aren't having fun, you still play just as much as you promised, of course. But having extra fun, well.... If your job has y ou saying "Man, work is AWESOME and FUN right now, but I don't know if we should be having fun...." Have the fun. Just let us watch, like you did here. Fun is good.

[@TheCreepypro]

I second this so hard the world sucks enough as it is without us putting arbitrary caps on how much fun we can have that is just ridiculous

[@Knauco]

I was born in 85. The turtles were my life as a child. I rubber banded my fingers together at night so I would have a 3 set, but then my hands started losing circulation and my parent made me stop. But still, to this day, I can super easy do the turtle hand.(same as Spock salute)

[@allnamestakenlol]

Damn, Ted and company are young! I couldn't imagine not having all that 80's cartoon craziness as a part of my childhood. It was fucking glorious. To quote Shredder from TMNT 2: "Babies! They're babies!"

[@baileyhollywood6999]

I’ve loved turtles for a long time, I used to watch the 00’s reboot that was semi-gritty, that show rocked

[@BRYIAN5]

The 00’s joint might seriously the best version of the turtles... until season 7 LOL.

[@otakon17]

Born in '84, the Turtles were my childhood growing up. Loved the animated series, the games, the movie and practically collected the toys. I still look it up what the current iteration is since those days, Rise of the TMNT should have gotten a better shake as the recent one. The comedy was pretty good but the animation was insanely good.

[@lexidarling]

I’m 31 and TMNT was my life in the early-mid 90s. I went as Raphael for Halloween ’94. I wore out the VHS tapes of all the movies (even 3, which for some reason was apparently my favorite as a kid). I even had the Coming Out of Their Shells cassette. Though I do feel like TMNT had already more or less peaked by the time I got into it. Most of my exposure to the ’87 show was through VHS tapes of older episodes. Though I do remember watching the utter weirdness that was Next Mutation when that was new. Thanks so much to the Bros, Ted and Catstamps for transporting me back in time (haha) for a half an hour.

[@retroryguy2821]

Rewatching this I had an epiphany with the talk of our memories for the turtles. Anyone who was born after 1987, you could have indeed missed the Turtles, but if anyone had any older siblings and were born them could have easily just gotten their love from them.

[@neintimesthegeek1337]

[@josephhawkins7974]

Born in '87, loved the turtles from an early age. Definitely watched a bunch of the show and the first two movies several all the time, alongside playing the NES Turtles game and the SNES port of this game. I'm with Brett on the Bros all being old enough to be in the Turtles zeitgeist.

My mom was reading "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" when I first played this (on snes) in 1992. Got this and Buster Busts Loose for my 7th birthday, my first 2 games ever to belong to me.

[@TheCreepypro]

this was so cool I have been a turtle fan since I was a boy I never grew out of it so to me this is one of the finest games ever made and I already love beat'em ups so seeing the boys play this was simply the best the guy who paid them to play this is my hero and I only hope they play more turtle games in the future

[@MichaelSD91]

Born in 91 I remember playing Turtles in time at Godfathers pizza. My favorite incarnation of the Turtles was the 2003 series. One day yugioh was on break and I watched the fox box channel and TMNT was on. Was blown away. Leonardo and Shredder were badass.

[@quinntendo4622]

I love this game personally, even born in the early 2000's because our super popular skating rink had an arcade cabinet of it

[@Zorro3k6]

I was born in 88 and I can see what Brett and Alex are talking about. Yeah the Turtles hit it big in the late 80s, but they were still huge in the 90s when I came across the cartoon. I loved playing Hyperstone Heist on my Genesis. Good times...

[@DaddyGamerReviews]

Recently bought a cart of this game. Its the first video game I ever played. It was a lot of fun to sit down and share it with my daughter.

[@unnoticedhero1]

I think there's a lot of love for the turtles in several generations of kids growing up with some version of them, I was born in 92 and never saw the original cartoon or played these games but I loved the original 3 movies and the 2003 cartoon the few years I watched it but never had any desire to watch the Michael Bay movie or the newer Nickelodeon cartoon, but I imagine some kids now grew up with the latter and still like them.

[@geminiblade]

Have never clicked on a video so fast. SNES version was my first video game ever.

[@marvelanddcretrospective]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hit their peak popularity in the 90's and have remained that popular ever since, the 2003 series; 2012 series and current series as well as the the two Michael Bay films and numerous video games have insured that the Turtles popularity remain the same; every generation has grown up with some form of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

[@Slyrouth]

I'm the age that remembers the Turtles Cartoon, NES game, and 1st movie... but the theme song I turned up was freaking SWAT Cats!

[@whatiskensworth]

Turtles, Ted, Good Vibes, who could ask for more?

[@alphacode5]

I don't think being younger is an excuse for not knowing the turtles, there was a generation of turtles in each decade, my older sister saw them in the 80's, I saw em in the 90' 00's and my little sister can see them now in the 10's and 20's. I didn't watch the generation that this game belongs to, but I can name the turtles, splinter, April, and Casey. Not saying that you HAVE to know the turtles, just saying that age is not a factor to know em.

[@Danbo22987]

Seriously, they've remained relevant for years.

[@victoriousf.i.g.3311]

Turtle mania hit its first peak (and plateau'd for several years) when I was 6 years old in 1991. That was the hot thing for that year and was joined by the Power Rangers in 1992 as the premier toys and shows of the age. If you had the green ranger's battery operated dagger that played the song to call the dragonzord, you were god.

[@BingoClamshell]

@10:49 Woah, never noticed the song similarities... I keep waiting for the 90's Spider-Man theme to start.

[@BingoClamshell]

@24:00 Woah, now I'm freaked. Did it trigger a memory subconsciously?

[@questionabletoast9346]

I had that album on tape. I remember a song called, "Walk Straight", I think?

[@HUNbullseye]

Well swatting is stopped being the "funny" endangering of life after someone actually got shot and killed, because two idiot on the net got into a fight, one threatened with swatting the other, and the other gave a fake adress...

[@MalikEKC]

I was born in 1990 and was definitely a Turtles kid. According to my mom I used to constantly say I wanted to be a Ninja Turtle when I grew up. I didn't read any of the comics until I was an adult but I loved all the cartoons and the movies up until the Michael Bay ones

[@JPBrooksLive]

Omg the Coming Out of Our Shells Tour! I had that on vhs and my VCR ate the tape.

[@SpiritThanatron]

I'm gonna shout out an old gem of a fan comic: Mutant Ninja Turtles Gaiden. Made in '03 by one dude, and tackles some heavy issues. I don't quite remember all the details, but it's still going on. Gonna have to go look through it again myself lol.

[@xandertrejo]

The Turtles are multigenerational at this point. I'm way younger than the Beard Bros but I remember this game from my childhood.

[@Danbo22987]

There's plenty of kids that grew up with the 2003 or 2013 series and that is their version of the turtles.

[@xandertrejo]

@@Danbo22987 Exactly it turtles forever dude!

[@Eira_99]

The turtles show gets remade so often that I feel like anyone should know their names. I was born in 1997 but I still grew up watching a version of the turtles on TV and knew all their names from a young age. My little brother who’s only 7 also knows the turtles and loves them, cause again he just watched a more modern version that’s also different from the one I saw. So I don’t even think it’s an age thing, the turtles even now are known by kids, just depends if you saw your generations version or not. It’s only when you go far back enough that they weren’t around that it’s about age.

[@buchiklop110]

Born in 1984, and TMNT was huge up until Power Rangers and Batman dropped in 1992. Even then, Turtle-mania didn't completely collapse, as the toys and video games still sold like hotcakes until the mid-90's. Then it got big again with the 4Kids cartoon in 2003 (the best of the cartoon series), waned a bit in 2010, got big yet again in 2012 with the first Nick series, then dipped again when Rise premiered. Batman vs. the TMNT movie is legit an awesome movie. It's also surprisingly mature, since there's a LOT of blood and gore, and both Shredder and the TMNT kill a bunch of Foot Soldiers.

[@JumpNShootSH]

2:26 lol wait that oprah interview where a turtle said they'd invite april to hang but first she needs to "breathe underwater"?

[@buchiklop110]

TMNT was owned by Mirage Studios. The 80's series was originally owned by Fred-Wolf Films, and now owned by Lionsgate. Mirage then eventually sold the franchise to Viacom, who own everything related to the franchise except the original cartoon (still owned by Lionsgate) and Next Mutation (owned by Saban). EDIT: Dunno if the 3rd movie was based on the game, but time travel was already a thing in the TMNT comics. The scepter used by the Turtles in the movie is based on the Time Scepter used by Renet in the comics. EDIT x2: One of the games based on the 2003 series had this as an unlockable, though with different music. I wanna say it was TMNT2: Battle Nexus, but it might have been Mutant Nightmare instead.

Born in '89. I didn't get into Turtles until 2003 when that series rocked the Fox Box. I try to keep tabs on the turtles but the 80's turtles just get on my nerves for some reason.

[@Organous]

I'm pretty sure this game and TMNT 3 had different inspirations. The time travel here is supposed to be some kind of time prison. In TMNT 3, the time travel mechanic uses Renet Tilley's scepter (though I only know Renet Tilley because of Heroclix).
