Those 2 boneheads couldn't screw in a lightbulb, even if you gave them a step-by-step instruction manual!". Krang: "Why do we keep them around, Saki!".

[@kayokango]

Ironically, Super Irma is one of the more remembered things from the 1987 show. Irma's superhero alter ego has shown up in Rescue Palooza, where it was originally going to be her default state but wound up just being her super move. In the mobile game Mutant Madness Super Irma is one of the first characters you can get and she's pretty darn useful for most teams. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if Super Irma gets referenced in the up coming Shredder's Revenge game. It's also more than likely a matter of time before NECA makes a Super Irma figure as well.

[@SmrtPhonRtistCF]

20:18 Ironically, one of the very few things in hokey SciFi cartoons you could actually solve by reversing the polarity. Arguably that's exactly what Don was doing, but it's odd they didn't actually call it reversing the polarity.

A turtle review where the turtles don't hate Splinter...don't how to feel about that 😲

Just to clarify, I have no idea who "Bern Thompson", is but I heard "Bern Thompson" every time you replayed the clip

[@Nekufan1000000]

I heard Bern, then Vern, then Bern. It wasn't until he slowed it down that I heard Ron at all.

Burne Thompson is April's boss. I also only heard "Burne Thompson" and not "Ron". Phelous needs to get his hearing checked.

Do you remember an episode that the 1987 turtles turn into humans ?

[@srienasparklebronytv]

I still can't believe on how dumb irma is in this episode

[@theaterpup3466]

It was just Michelangelo. He lost all his ninja skills as a human, for some reason.

[@srienasparklebronytv]

I asked this because, I never herd of this episode before so thanks for the help.

[@srienasparklebronytv]

Also, what is the episode called ?
