    Season 1 
Episode 1: Mystic Mayhem
  • The episode opens on Mayhem being tailed by two mysterious men who are barging through everyone in their path, knocking over a display rack of miniature flags to try and slow them down. Instead of bowling through them, the two men tippy-toe through the flag.
    • Listen hard enough and you can hear someone yell "'Ey, I'm shoppin' here!" when the two men bowl through the crowd.
    • The menace of the two mysterious men is undercut somewhat by the fact that they're wearing baby carriers with small dogs in them.
  • The first time we see the Turtles, it seems like they're going to go in to bust an illicit rooftop deal with the music swelling accordingly... and then stopping it it's tracks with a Record Scratch because the Turtles are actually going zip-lining over the next roof over to cannonball into its pool.
    • If you pause the episode at the right time, you can see that not only is Donatello diving in a reclining position, Leo's dabbing.
  • April's idea of covering the Turtles' tracks at the pool. A "Wet Floor" sign and a "Dry Pool" sign.
  • Raphael being distracted by the sight of Mayhem alone and afraid while parkouring across the city rooftops very quickly establishes two things. One, he's a good person. Two, he has a problem with focusing because in his distraction he slams into the side of a building.
    • Raph gets hit with the Cuteness Proximity hard when he meets Mayhem for the first time, and it bites him when it causes him to forget that he's talking to a scared animal.
      Raph: Aww. Hey little guy. (cutesy) What you doing here? (kissing noises) Come to Big Raphie.
      (Everyone else chuckles at him)
      Raph: What? Pets love me, all right? I am at one with the animals.
      (Mayhem claws his face up before leaping into April's arms)
  • The Turtles' "Plan H" when the mysterious men show up and they assume they're humans. Pretend they're nerds in costume who got lost on the way to a convention while putting on exaggerated nerd voices. Except Donnie doesn't put on a voice at all, and everyone gives him a "dude, what are you doing?" look in the middle of his bit.
    Leo: Um, excuse me sirs. Can you direct us to the local Science Fiction convention that we are currently dressed for?
    Mikey: Snazzy alien turtle outfits, huh?
    Leo: (whispering) Dude, you gotta make it to rehearsal.
    • When the two men aren't fooled, the conversation turns into a trading of threats. Donnie however, gets stuck on one point.
      Man: You do not intimidate us, with or without your fake nerd voices.
      Donnie: (offended) That was actually my real voice.
      Raph: Well, you better get intimidated, 'cause we're like nothing you've ever seen.
      Donnie: What's wrong with my voice?
  • Leo's reaction to the two men transforming into monsters and their dogs transforming into their mounts shows just how different he is this time around. You know your quip is inappropriately timed when Michelangelo calls you on it.
    Leo: So... You guys from Jersey?
    Mikey: Really, Leo?
    Leo: What? I can't make a joke in the middle of the craziest thing ever? That's how I cope.
  • Donnie's first time trying to throw his staff in Rocket configuration doesn't go so well as the engines splutter out of control sending it sailing away into the air, prompting Mayhem to teleport to go fetch it for him.
    Donnie: Hey, it plays fetch. (Mayhem teleports back into April's arms) And teleports, which is... Oh my gosh, it teleports!
  • Raph describes the monsters to Mikey as "the one who looks like a broken toaster" and "the guy who looks like a fancy trash can." Mikey's response?
    Mikey: They look exactly the same, and they don't look like either of those things!
  • Leo's Oh, Crap! reaction to one of the Dog Mounts biting the blades of his Katanas off is priceless, as is him beaning its rider with one of the hilts. What comes after that however, is golden. Even the monster stares at him afterwards as if to say "Are you okay?"
    Leo: I don't need weapons to beat you! I got my rad skills! (Tries to backflip off a concrete mixer truck and lands flat on his face)
  • Mikey being held up by a monster whose hand dwarfs his entire torso? Terrifying. Mikey proceeding to accidentally pummel himself black and blue with his own Nunchaku while the monster just stares at him doing it? Hilarious.
    • Said monster doesn't even dignify Raph with a fight, instead siccing his dog on him. Said dog proceeds to bite down on Raph's head and subject him to Metronomic Man Mashing before chucking him across the construction site.
  • When the creators of the show said that Master Splinter was inspired by Danny Devito, they meant it.
    Splinter: (In response to being asked if he'd like the TV projector set up in his bedroom) No! My butt is asleep, just how I like it.
    • When simply trying to convince Splinter out of the room doesn't work, Raph starts writing up a plan that involves ten chickens and a gallon of rubber cement, only for Leo to reveal that while Raph was talking he went and got what they needed from Splinter's "Do not Touch!" cabinet because Splinter always passes out after snacking on milk and cake.
  • Just this line. No context, just this line.
  • When asked where the Turtles and April are, Donatello's calculations reveal they're in a "Tertiary Meta-Verse" only for April to refute his claims by stating that they're actually in a hidden city deep under New York based on her scouting. Donnie's response?
    • What's funnier is that later, it's revealed this underground city is home to this continuity's version of the Battle Nexus. While this version is simply a battle arena, the name usually is given to an overlapping pseudo-reality that hosts battles, or in less words a "Tertiary Meta-Verse". So in other words, in any other reality Donnie would have been absolutely right.
  • The teenage delivery-boy's reaction to Baron Draxum mutating him into a fishman, which also leads Donnie to quip that that probably means the place he delivers from actually uses imitation crab.
    Delivery-Boy: I just got used to acne. Now this? (Runs off screaming)
    • After witnessing the mutation the Turtles begin to realize the implications of what that might mean about their origins...except Mikey who seems to think that means they might be part imitation crab.
  • Before Baron Draxum mutates said delivery-boy, he asks if the mutation will hurt. Baron Draxum imposingly tells him yes... Before sort of unsurely going "If I'm doing it right."
  • Raph's attempt at a Rousing Speech about how they don't need weapons gets derailed by April revealing she knows where to find plenty of weapons.
    Leo: (Aside Glance) Ah, thank goodness. We were so dead.
  • At first the turtles find copies of their iconic weapons in the armory, but then Raph points out the glowing magic weapons, prompting Leo and Mikey to stare at them in awe before dropping what they were going to take.
    • After a Lock-and-Load Montage featuring each of the Turtles with their new mystic weapons, the camera cuts to the staff and the soundtrack hits another Record Scratch as Donnie completely ignores it in favor of his own custom tooled Bo. He's rather attached you see.
      Donnie: (caressing his staff) I'll never let you go.
  • Baron Draxum is actually moved to tears by the perfection of the Turtles' mutations.
  • April goes full Leeroy Jenkins, complete with "Oh my gosh, she just ran in!"
  • Leo is not pleased with Baron Draxum's Combat Tentacles, looking profoundly disgusted as he trips and starts sliding down one.
  • After Donnie takes down the giant monster with his bostaff, he catches it and uses one end as a selfie stick.
  • Baron Draxum's attempts at a Badass Boast after wiping the floor with the Turtles is pantsed by Huginn getting knocked out of the sky by April and landing on his head.
  • Mikey accidentally activates his magic weapon, sending him careening around the room to the amazement of his brothers. Unfortunately for him, while demonstrating how he did it he activates his weapon again and starts careening around some more.
    • Raph's attempt at getting his Tonfas to do something similar leads to him blasting himself into a wall with the backblast. But he doesn't seemupset about this, and yells "Mine works too!" to the others.
    • Leo tries to see what his weapon can do, only for Draxum to deflect his attack and cause him to open a portal beneath himself and causing the exit portal to be right above the entry portal. The result? Leo falling in the same spot for a while. If you pause, you notice he's almost ready to throw up.
    • Donnie avoids the problems of his brothers due to sticking to his custom staff, only to get hit with a speeding Michelangelo.
  • Draxum's reaction, or rather lack of a reaction, to a huge chunk of rock falling towards him about to crush him.
    Baron Draxum: Aw, nuts.
  • Raph suggests "Mad Dogs" when discussing calling themselves something after "beating" Draxum. Leo hangs a lampshade on it.
    Leo: Mad Dogs? You don't think something like... Ninja Mutant Turtle Teens or... I don't know. Maybe... We'll keep brainstorming.
  • The Turtles reaction to an enormous swarm of Oozesquitos escaping through the portal to Draxum's city before it closes highlights that every mutant from this point forwards is kind of their mess to clean up.
    Donnie: Huh. That can't be good.
    Leo: We should go, people's blinds are starting to open.

Episode 2A: Origami Tsunami

  • Donnie and Mikey happily getting their faces thrown into a bowl of noodles as Raph imitates Lou Jitsu.
    Donnie: Teriyaki Shake Down always gets me so...jazzed!
  • Splinter just casually slurping up the stray noodle on his face from the impact, like this happens every day.
  • Splinter thinks very highly of his sons' abilities:
    Splinter: Don't worry. Someday, you all will be great ninjas with just a little more practice... is something I'd say if I was a liar.
  • Leo appears out of nowhere and just lazily slides backwards onto Splinters chair, only to be tail-slapped off after saying the wrong thing.
    Mikey: Yo Leo! We're gonna be heroes!
    Leo: Okay, what's the plan? Solve the city's rat problem?
    Splinter: (smacks Leo out of chair) Hey now! I am standing... right here.
  • What is Leo's plan to trap the paper thieves after they steal from the last paper store in town? Construct a brand new one out of cardboard, with the paper being made from salami. Somehow, it works. The wackiness of it all is lampshaded by Donnie.
    Donnie: Are you sure this is going to hook the paper thieves? The only paper we have is salami, which is round. Paper is not round.
  • Raph being unable to stop eating the salami, even in paper form. Leo had to scold him for eating the plan, but Raph still clung to the salami, chewing away. He even ate a tracker that Donnie had placed in the salami paper. Thankfully, Donnie placed two of them.
  • After Raph saves his brothers from the giant paper ninja, Donnie and Mikey just scream as they fall, but Leo's response is special.

Episode 2B: Donnie's Gifts

  • The mere fact that the object of rescue the turtles have in this mission is people's unmentionables.
    Raph: Alright mutant silverfish, you've eaten people's laundry for the last time!
  • Donnie's extremely fed up expression as his brothers fail to solve the silverfish problem.
    Donnie: Raph, every time you smash them they just split in two!
    Raph: I know! Isn't it cool?
    Donnie: Think, Raph, think.
    Raph: Oooh. I guess that does double the problem. Which means... double the smashing!
  • Donnie finally taking matters into his own hands:
    Raph: Nice hustle, Donnie! I knew we could deal with this as a team.
    Donnie: Actually, it was pretty much just me.
  • How in love the brothers are with the drill.
  • Mikey's Skewed Priorities.
    • Learning Meat Sweats' identity:
      Donnie: You saw a celebrity chef transform into a pig mutant and you didn't tell anyone!?
      Mikey: I didn't wanna burn my risotto!
    • Getting sniffed out by Meat Sweats:
      Meat Sweats: Am I picking up the scent of mutant with an after-stench of turtle? I'm thinking... lime turtle tenderloin, over a bed of saffron rice.
      Mikey: Ooh, that sounds good!
      Donnie: (clasps hand over Mikey's mouth) He's talking about eating us.
      Mikey: Well excuse me for wanting to be eaten in style!
  • Leo tells Raph to call Donnie about how they hate their gifts. Raph proceeds to do just that... but he instead acts all older brother-like and tells Donnie they love the gift, much to Leo and Mikey's annoyance.

Episode 3A: War & Pizza

  • At the very beginning, April is trying to get a kid out of a claw machine, baffled by how he even got in. Near the end, though, he manages to get himself out, only for April to shove him back in to keep him safe... along with another kid.
  • When April video calls Donnie for help, the other turtles are in the background, running away from a flying microwave with arms shooting lasers at them.
  • Donnie gets way more invested in fixing Albearto than he needs to be. April is not amused, for fear of losing her lob.
    Donnie: Well, sure he could just sing it. Or he could dazzle!
    April: Please... No dazzling!
    • Donnie really can't help himself with upgrading tech.
      Donnie: And voila! Albearto 2.14.2! I upgraded my upgrade in the middle of the upgrade.
  • While being pummeled by a robot cherry tomato come to life, Donnie has this gem:
    Donnie: You're so cute, but... so mean! Ugh, why do I always go for your type!?
    • Donnie manages to beat the robot, only to have her blow herself up and become a blob of molten tomato. He is less then pleased.
      Donnie: Ugh, I'll never eat ketchup again...
  • April's boss is so busy caressing and kissing his "#1 Boss" award that he doesn't noticed a mutant turtle crashing into his window. He remains oblivious to all the chaos until the end, when only April is left to blame.
  • After watching an animatronic come to life, almost getting killed by said animatronic's comrades, and then being shoved into a crane game (where he's still stuck), birthday boy Timmy shouts, "BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!"

Episode 3B: Newsworthy

  • Warren Stone's miserable Butt-Monkey Unknown Rival existence, wherein he still finds himself hot enough to make out with his own reflection as a worm.
  • Stone's replacement reporter casually calling him completely forgotten on live TV.
  • The search for hypnotist Mezme-Ron and his hippo, Doug, continues, cutting off as an Oozesquito is seen casually flying in the corner. In unrelated news, there's a rampaging mutant hippo on the loose stealing all the magicians' animals.
  • What's the turtles' plan for catching the mutant hippo? Dressing up as a female Hippo to catch him in a trap.
  • When Raph gets stuck in Warren's Goop Trap, Leo remarks "Not again!" ...How many times has this happened already?
  • As Leo, Donnie, and Raph are dealing with Warren Stone and his goop trap, Mikey is cheerfully playing on the playground behind them without a care in the world, completely ignoring the situation at hand.
  • Warren Stone attempts to "attack" Leo, but causes him to only Squick out and accidentally cut him in half. Cue the turtles' very horrified expressions, only to be scared senseless as Warren Stone's severed upper half comes back to life.
    • As Warren is trying to explain his "power," clearly in pain, Donnie seems more interested about the biology of Warren's survival than Warren himself.
  • Warren's description of his Healing Factor getting progressively less and less impressive.
    Warren: It's an amazing power, but it's incredibly painful!
    Donnie: Fascinating, how long does the regeneration process take?
    Warren: Several... days.
    Mikey: And you grow back with double the strength?
    Warren: No.
    Raph: But four times the size?
    Warren: If I don't grow back twice as strong, why would I grow back four times as big?!
    Leo: I don't understand you!
  • Raph lost the privilege of wearing the hippo suit after a certain Noodle Incident.
    Raph: Now, explain it to me again: why can't I wear the suit?
    Leo: Uh, we've been over this.
    Donnie: You ruined that woman's ninety-fifth birthday.
    Raph: She's fine!
  • Hypno-Potamus is initially completely taken by Mikey in the hippo costume, calling him the "future Mrs. Hypno-Potamus." He then proceeds to make out with the suit, causing Raph to cry, Donnie to nod in approval, and Leo to gag.
    • Upon realizing that Mikey is not a female hippo, Hypno-Potamus seems to imply that this has happened to him before.
      Hypno: Pulled the ole false Jenny on me. I've gotta say, this has been the worst mating season.

Episode 4A: Repo Mantis

  • Donnie having such a good time looking through garbage he doesn't hear Mikey yelling at him they should move.
    Mikey: Donnie, Donnie, Donnie! I really think we should — Donnie!
    (Mikey pulls him backward, they fall down a tower of cars)
    Donnie: Mikey, next time, I would appreciate a heads up.
    Mikey: (deadpan) Okay.
  • Jupiter Jim's Last Trip to the Moon having sixty sequels.
  • Mikey and Donnie meeting Repo.
    Repo Mantis: Who the heck are youse?
    Donnie: Oh no a mutant! Wait, we're mutants too. It's okay.
  • Donnie's attempt to buy the buggy from Repo Mantis with the loose coins in his wallet. The completely misplaced confidence in his voice is what sells the scene.
    Donnie: I got little silver, big silver, and I can make it rain copper, daddy.
  • Todd is extremely nice, loves all his puppies, just wants to hang out with Mikey and Donnie... and has a tendency to take things too far.
    Todd: Come back again if you want to milk the puppies! They have eight nipples!
    Donnie: (horrified) NO! STOP, NO!

Episode 4B: Down with the Sickness

  • The sight of big guy Raph conquering Dance Dance Revolution is wonderful. Leo casually messes with him, while Donnie and Mikey are supportive.
    Mikey: (wiping Raph's forehead while Raph continues dancing) Have I ever told you how big and beautiful you are?
    Raph: (still smiling) No, but thank you.
  • Splinter yelling how much his brain hurts, then having a loud build up to a tiny sneeze.
    Leo: Gesundheit.
    Mikey: Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh! Splinter's a zombie!
    Donnie: Mikey... Zombies are interested in other people's brains.
  • For Stage One (Fever), the brothers huddle under a comically big heat lamp. Leo is prepared, with a warm coat and hot cocoa.
    Leo: I told you guys to plan ahead, now I'm warm and toasty.
  • Leo's above sip leads to a Spit Take with the reveal Splinter has shaved off most of his fur.
  • After contracting the disease, Leo and Donnie both begin acting very odd. Leo starts being all cuddly, lovey-dovey — a stark contrast to his normal, irreverent sarcasm — while Donnie... starts acting like an evil mastermind or alien about to take over the world.
    Leo: Raphael, I love you, my brother. But you do tend to screw up at big moments. Pish, posh. But that's what makes you, you. So bring it in guys! I'm gonna hug you 'til a smile comes out!
    Donnie: Make him say yesssssss! He must say yesssssss!

Episode 5A: The Fast and the Furriest

  • After Donnie's Turtle Tank gets stolen, the first person the brothers suspect is April. Needless to say, April doesn't appreciate her best friends breaking her door and accusing her of stealing from them, and she lets them know that. By beating them all with a baseball bat and tossing them out her window.
    Donnie: Okay, good news, our inner circle is secure.
    Mikey: Sorry, April! Movie night later?
    April: Your treat! (blows them a kiss)
  • The fact that the culprit of the episode was Splinter going out for a joy ride is hilarious on its own. But why was he desperate to avoid getting caught? Because if Donnie found out, he'd make it where he'd mess with his TV in the worst way possible.
    Splinter: Purple is a monster! He will fry my TV so all I will get is educational shows!
    • And at the end when the turtles finally catch him, Donnie tells off his father in exactly the same way as an upset parent scolding their child would:
      Donnie: You... you reckless, irresponsible — you are watching the Science of Chairs Channel for a month, young man! Followed by the Long Division Channel and the Memorizing Pi Channel, spoiler alert: THE NINETY-NINTH DIGIT IS SEVEN!
  • The entirety of the car chase is chock full of hilarious moments
    • When Raphael shouts to Splinter that Meat Sweats is trying to eat him, we get this exchange.
      Meat Sweats: Well actually, it's Rupert.
      Splinter: Oh, I would stay with Meat Sweats.
    • When Donnie tries to get Splinter to surrender, Splinter doesn't buy it.
      Donnie: I know you're in there! Dad, I can see your tail! Urgh... Oh Papa! If you surrender now there shan't be any consequences!
      Splinter: That is a lie! I taught him that one.
    • When Donnie attempts to use the Turtle Tank's cannons on Meat Sweats' truck, he gets shut down by the others due to Splinter still being on board it, to his dismay;
      Raph: We gotta stop that truck!
      Donnie: I'll blast it with the Boom Cannons!
      Leo: Donnie, dad's in that thing!
      Donnie: Can I at least go semi-lethal?
      *Leo, Mikey and Raph grunt disapprovingly over the comms*
      Donnie: You never let me shine!
    • When the truck has been massively damaged, Meat Sweats decides that eating Splinter is not worth it and simply tosses him to the turtles before driving away.
      Splinter: Wait! Wait! Don't leave meee!

Episode 5B: Mascot Melee

  • Leonardo calling their mission Operation: Let's Hope Raph Comes Back Alive.
  • This particular highlight from navigating for Raph:
    Leo: Kid on your left, he's got peanut butter ice cream.
    Donnie: Oh no, your allergies! Evasive maneuver! Evasive maneuver!
  • April apparently sent a "turtlepotamus" meme (which is 1980's Raph head superimposed on a hippo's body) that apparently became so popular that it's shown all throughout Time Square.
  • Leo, Donnie and Mikey disguising themselves as turtle aliens from a Jupiter Jim film...which basically boils down to a fishbowl helmet, antennae and a fanny pack.
    • Before they head off, Donnie closes the door to the Turtle Tank and whistles a familiar tune.
  • The epic dance-off between the turtles and the mascots. All of it. Especially when the turtles dance together just like they did in the original 1990s movie. Also counts as a Moment of Awesome.
    • Mikey complains that they should have just put Raph in a big trench coat. Which was how he disguised himself in the 1990's films as well.

Episode 6A: Shell in a Cell

  • Jessica Jaclyn's hammy movements and larger than life voice combined make it no wonder fandom fell in love with her.
  • Leo messing with Raph, calling wrestling bogus, then ineffectually hitting his head with his Three Star Hurricane.
  • Mikey constantly one-upping Donnie to the point where Donnie just joins Raph's side when he challenges Leo. Donnie does NOT hesitate in rubbing it on Mikey's face:
    Raph: RED REIGN'S BRINGING THE PAIN!
    Donnie: And Dynamite Donnie's with him!
    (knocks Mikey's sunglasses off his eyes)
    Mikey: MY EYES!
    Donnie: I am tired of you taking all my stuff, One Love! I hereby betray you and Primetime and team up with Red Reign! (produces a letter of resignation) This betrayal is my formal resignation of my managerial position in your entourage.
    • Even funnier, you can actually read the letter in its entirety:
      "I, Donnie, hereby deceive Primetime and One Love to team up w/ Red Reign as a result of One Love blatantly taking my hype man position, stealing my high five and most of all taking the last slice of pizza! This betrayal is my formal resignation of my managerial position in your entourage."
    • After tanking a few missiles, Ghost Bear freaks out when a toy lobster hits him in the face.

Episode 6B: Minotaur Maze

  • Leo is completely awestruck by the wall of champions, even having stars in his eyes... until skeleton manager Señor Hueso smacks him in the face (with his own detached arm) when he gets too close.
    • He does it again when Leo tries to get his brothers involved, only this time Leo doesn't even acknowledge the bright red handprint across his face.
  • At one point while traveling through the titular maze, the turtles are about to be crushed between two spiked walls and Leo (who was responsible for them being in that situation in the first place) fails to make a portal for them to escape through. As he laments on being useless, Raph comes over to seemingly comfort his brother:
    Raph: (in a calm, understanding tone) Hey, that's not true, brother. You just gotta believe in yourself and know this... (in an equally calm but clearly threatening tone) ...if I die in this maze, I will haunt you for the rest of your life!
    Donnie: Well in theory you'd both be ghosts, so I'm not sure how you would—
    Raph: DONNIE! NOT HELPING!
  • Right before Leo tries to make a portal, he tries to goad his brothers into saying he's their champion to help boost his confidence, they all simply had enough of his nonsense.
    Leo: You know, it really helps me if you guys said that I was your champion?
    Raph, Donnie and Mikey: JUST OPEN IT!

Episode 7: Bug Busters

  • The Turtles are on a mission to subdue all the Oozesquitoes swarming around a hotel lobby. When the bellhop is caught in their scuffle, Leo attempts to calm him down:
    Leo: Do not fear, sir! We are unlicensed amateurs and we have this situation mildly under control!
    Bellhop: Ick! Your skin's all green.
    Leo: Relax, sir. It's a perfectly normal side-effect from all the chemicals we use!
    • Mikey gleefully covering himself in honey as bait for the Oozesquitoes.
      Mikey: I'm so sweet! Come get me!
    • Unfortunately, the bellhop ends up getting mutated into a bull anyway. Whoops.
      The hotel manager: (watching the scene from a monitor) Oh, so that's how it happens. Aw, his love of beef jerky was his downfall...
  • Leo has some... interesting challenges when trying to save his brothers from Big Mama.
    • To get to another level of the building, he ends up using a laundry chute, which he is not happy about.
      Leo: Ah! (covers face and falls over in disgust) Oh boy, dirty yokai laundry. Those guys are gonna owe me!
      (Leo climbs into the chute, screaming the whole way down while smacking into the walls, then landing in a laundry pile with underwear on his head.)
      Leo: I'm just gonna pretend this is a t-shirt... (underwear snaps back onto face) Gah!
  • A yokai janitor Leo runs into is complaining about his job just as any human would.
    Yokai Janitor: "Be a henchman! See the world!" Worst job ever...

Episode 8A: The Longest Fight

  • After the turtles settle in the mall to watch the event Mikey hugs his brothers together and says how much he appreciates that they're all together to enjoy this with saccharine background music. Smash cut to the four of them spread out across the food court watching the event individually on separate devices.
  • The Foot Brute is eating a bag of churros at the start of the robbery.
    • After being sent to investigate a crash caused by Raph, the Foot Brute, thinking it's a security guard, tries to make up an excuse for being in the mall after hours. Considering his looks and deep voice, it's totally believable.
      Foot Brute: Hellooo! Mr. Security Guard! I am a local school child locked in here after hours. Can you help me find my sensei—I mean, my mummy-san?
  • Later, after a news broadcast preempts the skateboard finals, all of the brothers scream together. Mikey — sitting on Raph's back — is the last one left, continuing his "NOOOOOOOOO!" even as he slips down behind Raph's shell in defeat.
    • He then briefly pops back up, still yelling.

Episode 8B: Hypno! Part Deux!

  • There's apparently a boy that April's school who brings his lizard everywhere and is thus dubbed "Lizard Boy." Everyone is weirded out by and avoids him. Said Lizard Boy even walks by April at the dance, causing her to shudder.
  • Leo and Raph gushing over how cute Mayhem's schoolgirl disguise is.
    • Even Hypno is taken in by the cuteness, ignoring that fact that he's about to disappear to coo over the little cheerleader outfit.
  • Dale is April's so-called friend. It's pretty one-sided, as he is an unfortunate Butt-Monkey no one seems to like, but he never seems to get a clue. He even confesses his love for April, who brushes it off as him being hypnotized.

Episode 9A: The Gumbus

  • There's a very brief Does This Remind You of Anything? exchange between Mikey and Baxter Stockboy when they first meet.
    Baxter: Wait. Are you... turtles?
    Mikey: We're not into labels.
  • Leo and Mikey are absolutely terrified at the sight of the titular Gumbus. April, on the other hand? Absolutely thrilled.
  • When Baxter is "taken" by the ghost, he pretends to have ended up sucked into a turkey, screaming "I'M ALIVE!" when Leo approaches. Leo is absolutely disgusted and drops his confident act to flip out.
  • The chase scene. All of it. The fluid animation really shows off the incredibly flaily nature Leo has as he runs headlong with his arms flapping behind him.
    • April comes charging in from behind with a shopping cart that Leo's in and barrels into Mikey to pick him up. Both Leo and Mikey are screaming their heads off, but April is having the time of her life.
    • Much of the chase takes place with recurring backgrounds. Lampshaded by Leo.
      Leo: How long is this freezer aisle?!
    • When the Gumbus uses some shelves to close off their route, April doesn't even hesitate.
      April: RAMMING SPEED!
      • At this point, Mikey retracts into his shell and Leo, still screaming, clings to him for dear life. Doubles as a heartwarming moment, with Leo trying to protect him like a big brother.
  • April jinxes them by acknowledging horror tropes.
    April: Relax guys. You know how these things go. So long as we don't split up, we'll be okay!
    *shelf immediately flips, separating April and causing the Gumbus to appear*
  • Once it's revealed that the Gumbus is a robot and not a ghost, Leo can't help but brag (despite freaking out two seconds prior).
    Leo: Aha! Right?! The simple answer! I was right. I was right. I was right. I was right. I was right.
    • …But a robot Gumbus is still dangerous and reactivates to attack again.
      Mikey: *with Leo still bragging in the background* Aw man... I was scared of something that doesn't even exist.
      *robot gets ready to attack again*
      Leo: Ah! Real stuff is scary enough as it is!
  • April beats the Gumbus with a salami bow and arrow.
  • The fact that Baxter pulled off this elaborate scheme just to get people to subscribe and donate. You'd think he'd try to sell his machines or something...
  • Baxter, the stock boy, is literally named "Baxter Stockboy." Leo, Mikey, and April have fun pointing out the obviousness of the name.
  • After everything's revealed, Baxter tries to attack again, but then his parents arrive. He immediately turns around and asks for help from the others, but they're already escaping through the vents.
    Leo: *eating a sausage* Tell us in your next video if you get grounded or not.
    Baxter: Make sure to subscribe and donate?
    Baxter's Mom: Baxter! Why does a turkey have a selfie stick?!

Episode 9B: Mrs. Cuddles

  • Unsurprisingly, one of Donnie's biggest personal projects is a titanium bust of himself.
  • When everyone sans Raph and Splinter is tied up thanks to Mrs. Cuddles, Leo calls Mikey out for continuing to scream at her even as it was clearly making her grow more powerful:
    Leo: So when she kept growing, that wasn't a clue to stop screaming?
    Mikey: Sorry, but hopefully Raph heard me.
    Leo: Astronauts heard you.
    (the scene briefly cuts away to an astronaut and shuttle in outer space, where, yes, Mikey's screaming can be clearly heard)
    • In the very next scene, Raph discovers Mrs. Cuddles has become a giant.
    Raph: I see you met Mikey.

Episode 10A: Stuck on You

  • The other turtles learn that Donnie's password for his computer is "Bootyyyshaker9000."
    Donnie: (defensively as his brothers chuckle at hearing this) What!? You know I like to dance! Not gonna apologize for that!
  • When the turtles run into Hypno at the museum, his first reaction to to ask if a doctor cut them up and sewed them all together.
    • The same thing happens with Foot Brute and Foot Lieutenant when they run into them.
      Foot Brute: What happened to you guys? Did a doctor cut 'chu up and—
      Raph: Is there some crazy doctor running around that we should be concerned about?!

Episode 10B: Al Be Back

  • Master Splinter begging to be in the Turtles' band, but he's refused.
    Splinter: Okay, fine. I'll just start another family and join their band.
  • Raphael having a baritone voice. When Splinter questions him on it...
    Raphael: (normal voice) If you want to be soul... (deeper voice) ...you got to live soul.
  • In order to combat the horde of Albeartos, the turtles decide to utilize their "musical talents". The song starts well... before pulling a Bait-and-Switch and revealing them to be terrible musicians. The "music" is so bad that numerous Albeartos are Driven to Suicide because of it.

Episode 11A: The Purple Jacket

  • Donnie bragging about the purple satin jacket the Purple Dragons tech club gave him and his brothers barely reacting to it.
    • "Well, you better grab some toast, fellas, 'cause you are all...jelly!"
    • And just as Donnie's out of earshot, the three teens finally react with the very jealousy Donnie teased them about:
      Leo: Augh! The nerve of that guy!
      Mikey: Who brings something that beautiful into a place like this!?
      Raph: I would give up every red bandana to feel the silky smoothness of that purple jacket on my skin!

Episode 11B: Pizza Pit

  • As a Freeze-Frame Bonus, you can see that Donnie has conspiracy photos of other incarnations of the turtles (e.g. the 1987 Turtles) on his evidence board, complete with a post-it wondering about an "alternate universe".
  • Raph has to tell a pizza chef about a bug infection in his restaurant...but he can't due to the chef giving Raph Puppy-Dog Eyes. So Mikey, aka "Dr. Delicate Touch" decides to step in. And then...
    Mikey: (big breath) YOU GOT BUGS, MAN!!
    (cue all the patrons screaming and exiting while Leo and Donnie look in shock)

Episode 12A: Smart Lair

Episode 12B: Hot Soup: The Game

  • From the commercial for the Lou Jitsu video game: the premise is that Jitsu needs to fight his way up a skyscraper construction site to get back what was stolen from him by the foreman: a cup full of hot soup.
    Lou Jitsu: "I will fight my way up to you, Boss Level!"note 
    • "Sixty levels of chop-socky violence!"
  • Raph's apprehensive towards Mikey going out alone to get his copy of the Lou Jitsu game from an auction house:
    Raph: By yourself!? Are you out of your ooze-twisted mind!?
    Mikey: I'm not a baby, Raph. I've got the sqills, the moves, the ninja realness! I'm ready for my first solo mission!
    Raph: Of course you are. In 7-10 years! Right now, it's just too dangerous!
    Leo: I say we let him go, Raph. You went out on your own when you were his age.
    Raph: Yeah, but when I was his age, I was two years older!
    Leo: What is up with your math?
  • Pretty much everything about the Foot Recruit. Highlights include:
    • At the beginning of the mission to find a Lou Jitsu artifact at the same auction house Mikey just happens to be at:
      Foot Recruit: I will tear this place asunder until I find every Lou Jitsu item within its walls!
      Foot Lieutenant: Okay, okay, okay. (shushes) Love the intensity. But let's just go stealth. No muss, no fuss.
      Foot Recruit: (leaps towards the auction house) FOOT CLAAAAN!
      Food Lieutenant: Somebody had a coffee!
    • When she first runs into Mikey:
      Foot Recruit: Who are you? What are you doing here?
      Mikey: I'm a... customer? Here to pick up my Lou Jitsu video game.
      Foot Recruit: (dramatically, with appropriate Eyed Screen) Lou... Jitsu?
      Mikey: ...Are you narrowing your eyes because you like Lou Jitsu?
      Foot Recruit: LOU JITSU—yes, Punch Chowder is my favorite motion picture-film-movie.
      • She then proceeds to steal Mikey's receipt for the game.
        Foot Recruit: I shall return. STAY HERE AND DO NOTHING!
    • How she decides to deal with Mikey:
      Foot Recruit: Senseis, permission to vanquish his soul TO THE DEPTHS OF OBLIVION!
      Foot Brute and Lieutenant: Yeah, sure./Okay why not.
    • The two discuss what to do should the recruit be defeated by Mikey:
      Foot Brute: What if he destroys her instead?
      Foot Lieutenant: (nonchalantly) Well then, we promote Jocelyn instead. I mean, we go through a recruit a week, right?
    • How Mikey realizes she's a bad guy:
      Mikey: Something's up. She says she works here. But the lights are off. But... maybe there's a power outage. But... she didn't care about this whole situation. But... maybe she thought I was in costume. But...she did like Punch Chowder...But only criminals like Punch Chowder!
  • This little gem:
    Raph: My Overprotective Brother Sense is tingling! Donnie, tap into their security camera!
    Donnie: (In a very Sarcasm Mode tone) Oh sure, let me just load my 'tap into every security camera in New York' app. (Beat as he starts typing into his wrist computer) I'm sorry if that sounded like sarcasm — it wasn't, I am in.

Episode 13: The Evil League of Mutants

  • During a battle with some crab mutants, all of the Turtles sans Donatello end up getting taken out. And when Donnie steps up to the plate to prepare to fight... He finds out his staff is out of battery. Cue him slowly putting down his staff and going to lay down on top of the other knocked out Turtles, set to the sound of a heart monitor speeding up and going into a flatline.
  • Splinter deciding to train his sons with a unique set of weapons...fish and ladders. The four complain that the only time they're ever going to need to learn how to fight with them is either if they're in a fish market or ladder factory. Three guesses as to where they end up fighting at the end of the episode.
  • Baron Draxum (who is voiced by John Cena, as a reminder) singing his rendition of the Major General Song called "Warring Warrior Scientist." No, seriously.

Episode 14A: Late Fee

  • Splinter asks his sons to return a DVD that he rented. What's the reward for doing so? Hugs! And it's more than enough to motivate them!
  • The turtles trick Ghostbear into returning the DVD.
    Raph: We wanna watch it so badly!
    Leo: Yeah, only the cruelest of villains would drop our DVD in that return slot over there! And then confirm that it did, in fact, drop all the way down.
    Ghostbear: Ooh, foolish tortugas! Never reveal your weakness to an enemy!

Episode 14B: Bullhop

  • These lines:
    Leo: (referring to Bullhop) Donnie, what are the odds he can pull this off?
    Donnie: The guy once broke a pillow, so... one percent — he said over-confidently.
  • The fact that Bullhop thinks he can talk to anyone in the world if he presses his finger to his ear, courtesy of Donnie. Mikey is apparently of the same mind.
    Donnie: I told him earlier that if he touched his ear he could talk to anyone in the world. I was trying to get some work done.
    Mikey: (with his finger to his head) Roger that, Mr. President.
  • Bullhop's dance with Big Mama is both a spectacle and hilarious.
  • As Bullhop tries to grab the keys to the vault while dancing, you can see Big Mama surrounded by hearts, completely smitten with Bullhop.
    • This becomes funnier in the Season 2 premiere as she apparently had a thing for a certain action star...
  • Donnie really wants to use his tranquilizer gun... to the point he uses it on both Raph and Mikey at different times when the latter suggested Bullhop could replace Donnie and the former was just unlucky enough to be standing next to him when they first catch Bullhop. Both times are accompanied by Donnie shiftily looking at his other brothers as if to say, "You didn't see anything."

Episode 15A: Mind Meld

  • Donnie's plan to steal back a piece of technology from the Purple Dragons is going smoothly...if it weren't for the fact that the other turtles are distracted by a pigeon with pizza in its mouth, and Raph wants to take a picture of it.
    Raph: It's a pizza pigeon!

Episode 15B: Nothing But Truffle

  • When faced with a were-tree-powered Meat Sweats, Mikey attempts to remember Raph's advice on dealing with mystic creatures via Imagine Spot:
    Raph on shark attacks: Punch it in the nose!
    Raph on vampires: Garlic!
    Raph on werewolves: Silver spoon!
    Raph on puppets: Just curl up in a ball, buddy. You're goin' down.
    • Apparently, Todd saw that flashback, too.
  • At one-point during there good times montage Mikey and Meatsweats are at a lake in a boat and Meatsweats is holding a sun umbrella and Mikey is playing a mandolin.

Episode 16: Shadow of Evil

Episode 20A: Mystic Library

  • The episode starts with Mayhem getting stuck after teleporting inside of a mirror. Leonardo insists that they can get him out since they are experts on "minthic stuff".
  • Gilligan Cut to Raph having smashed everything in the bathroom but the mirror.
  • Donatello suggests looking for answers at the library. Cue Chirping Crickets from Raph, Leo and Mikey...the library is a big place full of books. More crickets...they are like comic books but thicker!
  • The turtles go to the library in search of answers and Donnie sees that there's something interesting in the section on rocks, to which Mikey says "Said nobody ever", which Donnie agrees with.
  • They wind up in a magical library, where a Scary Librarian threatens to send them to the kiddie room if they don't keep their voices down. Things go downhill from there.
  • Right away, Mikey gets busted for shouting "ECHO" into the cavernous library. As he's being carted off by the librarian's bats, he gleefully shouts, "I regret nothing!"
  • Donnie memorizes the location in the form of song and, while bragging about how great he is, gets taken away by the bats.
  • The Foot Lieutenant and Foot Brute are at the library for their own reasons and try to get Leo and Raph taken by the bats, resulting in a "fight" where they attempt to make each other laugh by making silly faces.
    • Things get even sillier as the Foot Lieutenant makes miniature soldiers to attack the brothers… by tickling them. Raph manages to redirect the soldiers back onto the Lieutenant who gets tickled by his own creations.

Episode 25: Insane in the Mama Train

  • While trying to find the front of the car, Leo and Raph end up in a lecture hall where a yokai is giving a presentation about taxes.
    • Later, when the turtles have captured all the baddies, they tie them up and leave them in that same room.
  • When Raph and the Foot Recruit are facing each other, they try to beckon the other to charge at them. This results in them furiously waving their hands as they both refuse to take the first step.

    Season 2 
Episode 1: Many Unhappy Returns
  • The Foot Recruit arrived too late just in time to see the Shredder has already been resurrected.
    Foot Recruit: YOU RESURRECT THE SHREDDER WITHOUT ME?!!
  • As it turns out, the horrifyingly powerful and bestial Shredder has two rather comedic weaknesses: He's ticklish in the back of the knees, and being blindfolded leaves him disoriented like a lost puppy.
  • Leo is trying to get the bellhop to have him and Splinter talk to Big Mama. Nothing works, until Splinter asks the bellhop to deliver a message in regards to, and I quote, her "Snuggle Muffin Beef Cake", making Leo Squick in confusion.
    • After this, Splinter has to confess to Leo that Big Mama and he are exes...cue a visible Beat overhead before it sinks in to Leo's brain just what that implies.
      • The fact that it never occurred to Splinter that Big Mama was a spider yōkai...even when there was a flashback of them watching TV, the room covered in spider webs and her snatching a fly and eating it.
    • Splinter getting carried away in reminiscing about Big Mama back when they were dating, which is then interrupted by Leo begging his dad to stop breaking his poor son's brain with the lovey-dovey talk.
  • After Leo makes Big Mama have Splinter fight her giant kraken with no weapons, Leo tries to give support to his father by blowing a kiss and stating "I love you". Splinter doesn't reciprocate it.
  • Mikey decides to attack the bestial Shredder by throwing a humongous freight ship at him. Raph and Donnie look up at him with awe...and a distracted Donnie proceeds to smack right into a freight container.
  • April decides to attack Shredder with a crane while implying that she has a crane license. Not only that, but that she got it for reasons just like this.
    • The fact that Leo actually knows that April has a crane license.
  • When Leo and Splinter return with the collar, you can see Donnie preparing a headstone for himself.
  • After the gang beats Shredder, April mentions how epic the last three days of non-stop fighting have been. Cue her and the boys all passing out right there in the alley out of sheer exhaustion.

Episode 2A: Todd Scouts

  • Todd's lessons on teaching the turtles how to survive the wilderness.
    • The first lesson is about what to eat. Raph wants to eat a rock, Donnie wants to eat a twig, Leo wants to eat Donnie and Mikey wants to eat some berries...which causes Todd to scream "Those are no-no berries!"
  • Donnie somehow making a tech-based tower powered by beavers and squirrels.
    • And he commands said animals to destroy the tower. Cue a beaver stating "Leave No Traces" before the entire thing explodes
  • The fact that the main threat of the episode isn't the outdoors or hostile fauna but rather a camp of insane militarized dentists obsessed with exotic teeth.
    • The lead dentist assumes Todd is a sasquatch. Cut to one of his henchmen showing off a "photo" of a sasquatch. It...really has to be seen to be believed.
      • Bonus points, it's a photo of the twitter page of Andy Suriano, the Executive Producer of Nick Animation!
  • During the suit-up montage, Leo gives a Sailor Moon Pose.

Episode 2B: Goyles, Goyles, Goyles

  • Hugin and Munin's dream is to be able to sleep in a dog bed.
    • While escorting the true gargoyles that were going to be Baron Draxum's bodyguards, the two decide to take a shortcut...with annotations stating "BAD IDEA". And sure enough, the chariot they use to drive said gargoyles hits a rock, causing the escorts to be kicked out and devoured by lava demons.
  • Baron Draxum tests out the durability of one of them by slamming a wooden log on top of his head. This happens again when they try to enter the Battle Nexus.
  • Hugin and Munin trying to act macho against Lou Jitsu...who is shown serious and in deep meditation with a little rat (that sports Lou's pompadour) resting on his palms.
  • Hugin and Munin then carry Lou off to Baron Draxum while Lou is in a lotus position and chanting "Ommm...."
  • When Lou sees the turtles that will become Leo and Raph, he names them "Green" and "Green #2" before he asks how to he will tell them apart...which is hilarious because Leo has two obvious red marks going down his eyes.
    • While vowing that he will never harm another creature, Lou places a kiss on pre-mutated Raph. But Raph is a snapping turtle so he bites on Lou's upper lip instead.

Episode 4A: Breaking Purple

  • The simple fact that Shelldon acts like a bratty, rebellious teenager.
    Donnie: SHELLDON!! I TOLD YOU NO DRONE RACING IN THE LAIR!!
    Shelldon: You guys have a giant skate-ramp in the house, and I can't race?
    Donnie: No, you can't.
    Shelldon: Why?
    Donnie: Because I Said So, emailed so and texted so!
    Shelldon: THAT'S SO UNFAIR!! I'm sick of this shell-pressure!
    [...]
    Donnie: He charges until noon, he's always coding back to me, and now he's drone-racing all over the house!
  • This exchange:
    Donnie: Doctor Feelings? I thought you were "Doctor Delicate Touch".
  • Donnie's horrified reaction when Mikey shows him that he acts towards Shelldon like Splinter acts towards him.
  • Donnie tries to apply "Doctor Feelings"' lessons to interacting with Shelldon... But the latter really doesn't help.
    • First attempt?
    Shelldon: Eyeroll.
    Donnie: YOU DID NOT JUST-
    • Second attempt? Shelldon downright ignores Donnie and starts web browsing.
    • Finally, Donnie snaps and grounds Shelldon by putting a Restraining Bolt on him.
    Donnie: From now on, you do not go anywhere or do anything without my say-so!
    Shelldon: 01001 YOU!!
    Donnie: YOU WATCH YOUR MOUTH, YOUNG MAN!!
    • What makes it even funnier is the fact that while 01001 is (supposed to be) binary, it doesn't mean anything. It literally doesn't translate to anything.

Episode 4B: Repairin' the Baron

  • The ceiling fan in April's apartment keeps falling down because of the antics of her upstairs neighbor—April complains to Raph about how lately, it sounds like (to paraphrase) "a dinosaur jumping around on a trampoline" instead of her neighbor's usually "clip-clopping" (like a horse).
    • It turns out that April's upstairs neighbor is none other than Baron Draxum—the sight of him in a bathrobe and fuzzy slippers is pretty funny, especially given how much of an intimidating presence he was back in the first season.
    • Also, it turns out that there actually (sort of) was a dinosaur jumping around on a trampoline in Draxum's apartment: it was Mikey in a dinosaur costume jumping on a trampoline in an attempt to cheer Draxum up.
  • Mikey tries to find someone to go with him and Baron Draxum to Albertoland. When no one raises their hand, Mikey makes Raph raise his hand, prompting him to ask why him.
  • Baron Draxum tries helping a mother-and-daughter who're stuck on a Ferris wheel, but ends up terrifying them in the process due to his silhouette and some rather poor wording on his part.
  • In the end, Mikey and Raph manage to find Draxum a job so that he can live in the human world full-time. So what kind of job would be fitting for someone who (as Raph puts it) is "always angry, needs to be the boss and hates humans?" A school cafeteria worker, as it turns out (specifically at April's high school, which April isn't too happy about). In no time, Draxum manages to intimidate the kids at April's school into not complaining about the food and even uses a vine to chuck a bully out of the lunch line after Draxum catches him tripping another student.

Episode 6B: The Hidden City Job

  • Leo’s story about him pulling Donnie’s baby tooth would have been sweet if not for the fact that Leo pulled the wrong tooth out.
  • Leo, Senor Hueso, and Captain Piel are surrounded by Big Mama and her goons. So do they fight their way through? No, Senor Hueso and Captain Piel combine... into the ultimate Latin Lover. Big Mama and her mooks are no match for their charm.

Episode 10B: The Clothes Don't Make The Turtle

  • Hypno-Potamus traps the Turtles in an 80s dress-up montage, and ends up subjected to it himself by the end of the episode.
  • When the turtles are chasing after Hypno, he uses a series of spells on Donnie, Raph, and Mikey to slow them down. With Leo? He saws himself in half while Leo watches and eats popcorn. His brothers are not amused.
  • When Michelangelo asks how Donatello got a copy of Hypno's spell, Donatello simply responds that he records everything. Leonardo then suspiciously asks how much he records, to which Donatello apathetically brushes off.

Episode 11: Battle Nexus: New York

  • Hypno-Potamus and Donatello end up having to go up against Cortex, an Illithid-esque creature in a game of chess (with Donatello being the chess pieces to rob his side of an advantage), but Hypno-Potamus has no clue how to play it. They only win because Cortex gets impatient with Hypno-Potamus, and punches the board, knocking over his king by accident, which Donatello says counts as surrendering. Staggeringly, it works.
    Hypno: (as the two are whisked away) I am the king of checkers!
  • Draxum pointing out that the cruise they're on doesn't make sense for a variety of reasons, including that almost all of the population of New York are ignoring the Yokai in front of them, that the Turtles are missing, and asking "Who even likes Foot Recruit!?"

Episode 13A: Finale Part 3: Anatawa Hitorijanai

  • When Foot Brute and Foot Lieutenant have to explain how Shredder could go about draining Splinter's essence, they pull up a Youtube video for new recruits to the Foot. Said video features a picture of the Shredder's face pasted onto a surfer, which causes Shredder to give the two an ugly look, before Lieutenant wisely decides to skip to the part where they explain Empyrean's part in taking essence.

Episode 13B: Finale Part 4: Rise

  • In a stark contrast to usual demeanor, Shredder slices through the large subtitles for The Crying Titan that showed up on the establishing shot, which bounce off the ground as they show his landing.
  • The creators had promised that Leonardo would become the leader at some point during the series. How is it handled? Splinter abruptly makes Leonardo the leader in the closing seconds of the series!
    • For extra laughs look at the expressions on the turtles faces. Raph looks shocked. Mikey, Donnie, and Leo look horrified.
  • After teasing it for the entire series, with Donnie repeatedly emphasizing that it's still in beta, we finally find out what the drill does...its sole purpose is to help with dramatic team poses.
    Leonardo: Respect!

Meta

  • As imposing as a villain as he is, it's kinda hard to take Baron Draxum seriously once you learn that he's voiced by John Cena and you start hearing the man's voice a bit clearer in his performance as Draxum.
  • From Awkward Talks with Andre "Black Nerd"'s interview
    • The mom of Mikey's VA sent him a picture of him as a kid dressed as a Ninja Turtle, and he was Donatello. (3:53)
      Brandon Mychal Smith: I never saw myself as a "Donatello" kind of a guy!
      Andre: Josh do you have a video of yourself dressed as Michelangelo? That would've been crazy.
      Brandon Mychal Smith: You do, don't lie!
      Josh Brener: The Berenstain Bears thing is happening in my head.
    • Josh Brener and Brandon Mychal Smith leaving the interview when they find out the interviewer Andre is wearing a Raphael shirt. (07:04)
      Josh Brener: This is over. *stands up, tears off his non-existent mic, tosses it to the ground and walks off*
      Brandon Mychal Smith: This interview is done, you will not be getting a Michelangelo action figure, I'm out. *also leaves*
  • An acapella of the theme song, sung by none other than the Turtles themselves!
    • During the bridge, Leo rapping "Rise, baby! Rise, baby!" enthusiastically, followed by Donnie rapping the same phrase in monotone.
    • "Donnie and his backup turtles!"
    • The end of the song.
      Donatello: (singing offkey) Everybody riiiiiiiise! (speaking) Sorry. (Face Palm)
  • The teaser trailer for the movie has a number of funny moments.
    • When Casey Jones returns to the past and approaches April, she screams "Catlike reflex!" and takes him down with one shot.
    • The turtles are seen posing dramatically, and then Leonardo abruptly breaks the fourth wall to say “If this isn’t the poster shot, someone’s getting fired.”
    • Donatello’s Crazy-Prepared status gets him in trouble:
      Donatello: They’re on the move. According to the subcutaneous tracker I put on Raph-
      Leonardo: Wait, does that mean you put trackers on all of us?
      Donatello: Nooo? No! Of course I did… n’t.
