The 5 Most Bizarre Ninja Turtle Rip-offs of the '90s

community.atom.com — The '80s did not have the market cornered on disturbing children's television. From rocket-skateboarding dinosaurs to shark abs to cow pedophilia - you almost forget how ***** up the '90s really were.

  • alexra, on 05/29/2009, -1/+19these maybe knockoffs, but there a lot better than the original cartoons kids have to watch these days
  • JonTheGoose, on 05/29/2009, -1/+17I think they mean 5 most BADASS ninja turtle rip offs of the 90s because all of those shows were awesome. Kids these days are grossly deprived of good cartoons.
  • brakes4turtles, on 05/29/2009, -0/+16Street Sharks was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. I had a Ripster action figure..
  • DarkBlueAnt, on 05/29/2009, -0/+14This guy's description of the Extreme Dinosaurs theme makes me laugh so hard that I cry.
  • SFGalSJG, on 05/28/2009, -2/+15Man, if only I was a cartoonist in the 80s. Animal + Crazy Adjective + Animation = Goldmine. Herculean Pandas, coming to a Saturday morning TV near you
  • robEstyles, on 05/29/2009, -0/+13***** that Jet Ski level
  • nik15, on 05/29/2009, -0/+12Back when Fox Kids and One Saturday Morning ruled the Earth. I miss those days
  • bot001220, on 05/29/2009, -0/+11Don't forget there was also a short lived Battletoads cartoon. Battletoads where the ultimate TMNT rip-off.

    Edit: I forgot how terrible that show was....you have to hear the theme song to believe it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BwgEOQO_qk
  • robEstyles, on 05/29/2009, -0/+9Where's Bucky O'Hare?!?!?!
  • JinxCrow, on 05/29/2009, -0/+8I remember all of these, and I know I have a Street Sharks toy rotting in a toy bin somewhere...

    Think I traded for it with a Simba figure... wow I feel old.
  • narutica, on 05/29/2009, -0/+8When the Street Sharks come by, roads get destroyed
  • Grazfather, on 05/29/2009, -0/+8Super Vicious Danger Dolphins
  • Kannebas, on 05/29/2009, -0/+8Oh, *****, Street Sharks, son! I still got the action figures with the glow-in-the-dark teeth!
  • narutica, on 05/29/2009, -0/+7I guess that they were so bad ass that they weren't considered turtle ripoffs.
  • kwasmosis, on 05/29/2009, -0/+7NO KIDDING! I remember each one of these. And was really surprised about the Samurai Pizza Cats being on the list, well maybe not.... But I need to find episodes of that now, it was so cool.
  • Samurai77, on 05/29/2009, -1/+7When I was a kid, I watched Thundarr the Barbarian, Land of the Lost, Space Ghost, The Hurculiods, (even though the last two were from the 60's) I feel bad for the kids of the 90's we had much better cartoons, and now nothing is on Sat morning anymore.
  • Fullvinyl, on 05/29/2009, -0/+6I'm sayin'...how the hell did Battletoads NOT make this list?
  • bot001220, on 05/29/2009, -0/+6Fighting Amphibians.
  • nik15, on 05/29/2009, -0/+6Recess, Life With Louie, Bobbys World, Beast Wars, Mighty Max, Big Guy and Rusty, Pinky and The Brain, Freakazoid, Animaniacs, Ripping Friends, Tiny Toon Adventures, Garfield and Friends, Science Court, Sonic sat.am, Extreme Ghostbusters, Tom and Jerry Kids, Gargoyles, X-Men, Spiderman, Batman, Superman, The Avengers, Ren and Stimpy, Rugrats (I miss Reptar), Ahh Real Monsters, Rockos Modern Life, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, need I go on?
  • Crosshare, on 05/29/2009, -0/+6Combat Frogs
  • sdcarter, on 05/29/2009, -0/+5Look up. That thing flying overhead, completely missing you, is the point.
  • Fullvinyl, on 05/29/2009, -0/+5Eek the Cat and The Tick. You lose, Colonel Braddock.
  • ZimbuTheMonkey, on 05/29/2009, -0/+5I wonder how many of these eventually lead to an obsession with furry cartoon porn.
  • zomgwaffles, on 05/29/2009, -0/+5I pretty much watched every cartoon created during the late 80's and 90's even if it was complete junk. In between shows I was playing outside though, anyone else remember what being outside was like?

    P.S. Biker Mice from Mars were bad ass
  • amitait, on 05/29/2009, -0/+5Are you kidding me?
    The Samurai Pizza Cats were awesome!
  • SirBrittanicus, on 05/29/2009, -0/+5Holy crap! I remember having those toys as a kid, but I sure as hell don't remember the show. :p

    Christ, they're hideous!
  • nik15, on 05/29/2009, -1/+6Dude I love Street Sharks and still own some toys... same with Extreme Dinosaurs and Mighty Ducks. I miss the 90s, there are no good cartoons out that are like this. Surprised Biker Mice From Mars wasn't on the list, maybe because it was so bad ass or the fact they came out with a new one that completely sucks. Anyone remember Swat Kats?
  • SystemicThought, on 05/29/2009, -0/+5Samurai Pizza Cats, along with DBZ and Transformers, were my first brushes with Anime. I'd assume the same for many of you. Don't EVER diss the pizza cats.
  • drgmdp, on 05/29/2009, -0/+4Ultra Mighty Mountain Goats
  • gametavern, on 05/29/2009, -0/+4Dugg.
  • Aslan72, on 05/29/2009, -0/+4I want to know who the guy was that got paid to sing the theme song to 'Extreme Dinosaurs'. Really, how much of a check is worth you singing that Wreckless Raptors were battling the Extreme Dinosaurs and really putting emotion into it.
  • HamatoKameko, on 05/29/2009, -0/+4*cough*
  • JinxCrow, on 05/29/2009, -0/+4That hurt me too.
  • Philbert, on 05/29/2009, -0/+4They forgot the TMNT animated show, the biggest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles rip-off of them all.
  • RichardedHarris, on 05/29/2009, -0/+3I loved street sharks too. I would save up my allowance (1$ a week) to buy the toys.
  • csanberg, on 05/29/2009, -0/+3I watched all of those except the Samurai Cats one. nice.
  • kzoopSF, on 05/28/2009, -1/+4EXTREME DINOSAURS!
  • tenaciousdino, on 05/29/2009, -0/+3What about Country Cuckoo Clock Codpiece Zulu Warriors? Or Embryonic Rockabilly Polka-dotted Fighter Pilots?

  • LoudMusic, on 05/29/2009, -0/+3Where the hell is Battle Toads?
