The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been teens longer than my child has been alive and she’s a teen now herself. That’s the beauty of being a cartoon icon, I suppose. You never age. I mean, look at Superman. He’s been around for decades, and he never seems to get older. Maybe it’s because he’s from another planet.

I think maybe the Ninja Turtles didn’t get older for a long time because they’re mutants, or maybe turtles age the same way they move: reeealllly sloooooooooooowly. They’ve finally reached their twenties in this video, and they’re now facing a whole host of adult issues. Out of shape, mooching off one another, drafted into the military…they probably have outrageous texting bills to boot.

And where is their master? How could he let this happen to our heroes in a half-shell? Their focus needs more focus.

Maybe Jackie Chan could take over, start retraining them and get them back in shape so they can get out there and start busting up bad guys again.

I’d love to see Robot Chicken do this, but College Humor did a relatively good job poking fun at the Twenty-Something Ninja Turtles. I think they should make this into a feature-length film. They could bring back the cheesy turtle costumes from the 1990 film, bust some moves and inspire the youth of today into spouting off goofy one-liners.

Completely random, but this has me wondering whatever happened to Howard the Duck… hmm, there’s a video meme in there somewhere.
