We Wish You a Turtle Christmas (1994) (Obscurus Lupa Presents) (FROM THE ARCHIVES)

"Splinter's not athletic"? He's a goddamn ninja master. I think he can handle a round of golf.

[@SongbirdAlom]

RIGHT????

[@Tareltonlives]

He can certainly do more than ♫Skipping stones!♫

Phelan as Shredder singing I'll Be Home For Christmas will always be hilarious

[@gracekim1998]

Agreed!

[@MeganKoumori]

“What do you get the ninja master who has everything?” He likes the renaissance masters and tea. This isn’t hard. Get him an art history book and a box of green tea. He’s not even my ninja master father figure and I know him better than you four!

[@MforMovesets]

He gets 5 video games which isn't only a bs gift, but the Turtles seem to be rich.

Last known footage of the worst sons ever. Splinter flew into a murderous rage shortly after finding out they bombarded him with all that garbage because they completely forgot about him.

[@jonathanwarrdddedcxddeecec4787]

Splinters consume looks like a gerbil that got mutated, drowned in a toilet, then was stuffed in a microwave and cooked until his head started to swell . Truly the stuff of 90's nightmares

[@DalekTheSupreme]

It looks like Baldrick's Rat-O-Van.

I’m in the process of doing a Obsurus Luna/Movie Nights marathon and I’m just loving it. I’ve seen many of these review multiple times I still laugh as hard as I did when I first saw them. Allison, you’re a comedic genius and I thank you so much for giving me some much needed laughter. Blessings to you and yours

''I think they ended with one of them having an existential crisis while the other one asked for drugs...'' Tis the season.

It’s basically Christmas season again (here in mid Nov) so time for the annual watch of this review :) Is it strange that watching a review of a Christmas special has become the tradition and not the special itself…🤔

[@jlprizm]

Well I think I just found my new favorite Christmas jam.

"How do we start this Ninja Turtle Christmas Special?" "Let's have them sing a mildly threatening song that will make kids think the Turtles are waiting out their window and kill them in their sleep."

[@xxTC-96xx]

"Why you ungrateful little shits!" *pow pow pow*

[@Krendall2]

Okay...I gotta give props to whoever was singing as Mikey. He has a very good voice.

[@thenumberquelve158]

Gotta say, this review is really entertaining, especially for 2011 Internet content creation. The gums alone are nightmare fuel. But having you beg the characters to move the plot along and they never, ever do it, that's a deeper, more implicit nightmare fuel right there. This seems like a fun ride. Every time you think you've seen peak stupid, they throw more curveballs.

[@Tareltonlives]

Now for my favorite Christmas song: ♫I hate splinter!♫

[@Tareltonlives]

Phelous' Shredder's musical number still makes me laugh 10 years later

[@renton_whitetail1413]

Until this review came out, I had absolutely no idea this Christmas special ever existed (and I'm thankful I wasn't a huge TMNT fan as a kid to become fully aware of it). Thank you for tearing this special to shreds with your criticisms and making me laugh in the process.

[@e93sports80]

I didn't know you reviewed this long before Phelan did.

[@boraxkid1097]

Those gaping maws will welcome you to the afterlife.

[@gregzotter6189]

I'd welcome death after watching this special...and I watched Turtles Tunes! Which is worse!

That was horrific. The film, not the review. Loved Phelous as the Shredder though, esp when he was singing "I'll Be Home for Christmas."

Thanks!

[@SLATania74]

This is my favorite Xmas Reviews!

[@jay98]

So even though the turtles complained about the work involved in getting Splinter's gift, and ended up getting cheap junk he probably didn't want, he still creates a sense of family. Is this the emotional redirection of a true ninja master? Or is it his ultimate technique of passive aggression?

“What do you get the ninja master who has everything?” He’s a rat that lives in a sewer. I’m sure he’s short on pretty standard household items. Get him working plumbing. “Has everything” my ass...

Although he does live in a sewer. So I suppose plumbing probably isn’t an issue... Actually just the opposite probably. Air fresheners?
