The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles go to LA to promote trains for some reason and stop a weirdo with a Ghostbusters prop. It's TMNT: Operation Blue Line! phelous.com / phelous #TMNT #TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles
I feel like, in a past life, Gridlock was an old west villain who tied people to railroad tracks. Not because he wanted them dead; he just wanted to inconvenience the trains.
Every franchise should have their own licensed pregnancy test! I'd love to see a Mario pregnancy test. "Mama Mia! Looks-a like you're-a not gonna be-a having a baby!" Plus the accompanying Wario pregnancy test. "Wario here! Even with the weight gain, having a baby will make your life 138% less pathetic!"
Theater Version: I AM TIRED OF THESE MOTHER FUCKIN TURTLES ON THIS MOTHER FUCKIN TRAIN!!! Tv Version: I AM TIRED OF THESE MONKEY FIGHTIN TURTLES ON THIS MONDAY TO FRIDAY TRAIN!!!
And the kicker is that LA has some of the worst public transit in America. I lived there for almost two years and never used it because it never went anywhere I needed to go. Also the Blue Line is considered the deadliest and most collision prone rail system in the US! Damn you Gridlock!
Los Angeles needs to get their own superhero parody animal team and jump off the TMNT bandwagon. I guess even they know that NYC has better public transportation than they do so they gotta transport the turtles over there.
This feels like one of those story context videos you watch while you're being led through the line of a theme park ride. I was really expecting April to start telling you to stow your loose items in the mesh netting in front of you and make sure your lap bar is secure.
I had this tape as a young'n in Long Beach CA in 1990. I first heard about it in advance of it's release date from a police officer who came to my classroom! He said it would be about train safety. It clearly wasn't. I thoroughly enjoyed the Gridlock jokes. That performance has annoyed the everloving piss outta me since my very first viewing 28 years ago. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope he does come back.
Brother Malachai Operation Blue Line was a small part of a much larger campaign that actually did try to teach us train safety. The adults were really afraid that one of us "today's kids" what with their walkmans and Gameboys were going to be flattened by one of these deadly, electric-quiet supertrains of the future. I remember someone from the nearby Knotts Berry Farm showed up in a Woodstock costume during an assembly about the topic. I went to elementary school right next to the main area where they were rolling this whole thing out, and it was a big deal. As for Operation Blue Line, my clearest memory will always be laughing at the cop in my classroom as he stumbled over pronouncing "Teenage mutant ninja turtles." I also know that I eventually scored my copy at The Boys supermarket on 3575 Atlantic Ave in Long Beach CA. We shopped there all the time because my dad worked there as a teenager). I still have it in storage. Somewhere. I actually did enjoy it as a kid, in spite of Gridlock. It was pretty cool that they had all four Turtle voices, and I'd put it on whenever I was bored of my cartoon episode tapes.
@@mikemayberry7121 lucky.. all I ever got was a cop coming to my school to tell us how evil and dangerous 'nunchucks' were. The teacher was not amused when I was excited to hear about them because they were cool.
I saw the Michelangelo make an appearance at my Elementary School in fifth grade talking about saying no to drugs. Ironically that's the exact same costume.
Gridlock is amazing, lol. I guess when you're shooting local, but "local" _is_ L.A., you can literally just call out to a bunch of nearby waiters and get a dozen failed and/or aspiring actors to run over and play your hastily thrown-together villain. Not to mention, you can easily gather props from real movies. And apparently, the 4 actual voice actors from the TMNT cartoon :) Also, rofl. The young Phelous at 8:41 has _already mastered_ that super sarcastic/disbelieving look of just not having any fucks to give XD That is amazing. I love it!
I have a strange feeling we haven't seen the last of Gridlock. He'll probably team up with a certain racoon that is very cheeky and a certain man of old age
@@TommyDeonauthsArchives Gridlock vs Siro, the battle to end the Phelous Cinematic Universe! Who will win? Gridlock with his gigameter that wipes things fron existance, or the greatest mortal kombat character, armed with his sword, baby bombs, and of course the SIRO KIIIIICK!!!!!
Oh Yeah Its Weird Alright Our Friend Power 5,Michael Bay TMNT,The Sequel To The Michael Bay Movie,The Original TMNT Movies And Cartoon All Stars To The Rescue
Joed gamer69 I think the bay films are non canon our friends turtle 5 are on another planet and the movies are canon and the next mutaion is canon and that it's connected to the power rangers which is connected to big bad beetle borgs and vr trooper and mask rider are in this universe and rpm and dino charge or another dimension so it's a multiverse wow that's cool
It said that woman will simp for him in seconds he can destroy shaggy only chuck Norris and segata team up can beat him yes he's still alive and strong
Convincing people to ride a train, one of the most ancient and sacred ninja arts. Right alongside having superpowered eyes, playing keyboard in a comedy band and answering questions on the internet.
HOLY CRAP BUNNIES FROM HADES! I live in Los Angeles and I often take The Blue Line to get to downtown (I live near the base of Manhattan Beach at the end of the Green Line), and, sadly I must say, the Blue Line trains have never looked this good as long as I have been riding them though I recognize every location stop this video features, most of which is in downtown Long Beach. Thanks for bringing this strange, strange, STRANGE obscurity to me attention. By-the-way, I'm the lead / first title card artist for another Canadian reviewer and Channel Awesome refugee, Brandon Tenold.
Nionivek - He's dead. We all take flowers to his road-side grave at least once a year to remember the sad fact that LA has no good super-villains, especially after the Power Rangers moved operations to New Zealand. ALTERNATE GAG: No one likes that loser and he owns a deli off on Condon Street, hamming it up... Get it? Hamming it up? Because he owns a deli with ham-based products!?!? It's a pun! ZING!!!!
I'm sincerely sorry to break your heart but I'm straight and, even if I was into men, you're not my type. Please look elsewhere for true love, Friend Franky, and, as a humanist who has empathy for others, I wish you the best of luck on your journey.
I want to believe Allison made that sign that Gridlock was trying to make disappear. The thought of her sat at their kitchen table with a pack of crayons and some cardboard cracks me up for some reason.
How did Gridlock not make it into the Next Mutation... I mean he practically ticks every villain check that series requires... heck they could even reuse the footage of the la trains!
Come on, Phelous, the TMNT stoyawayed on the Ghostbusters private jet to try and stop Dave Coulier rewriting the Ghostbusters movie, with the help of Shredder
The production on this video looks very cheap, but your commentary is always fun. The battle sequence leaves a lot to be desired. Also plus they didn’t give an opportunity for Donatello or Raphael to do much in character. Donatello could’ve invented something to counter Gridlock’s device and actually challenge him on an intellectual level. Now that would’ve been an interesting story. Good job on your review!
Man Phelan... I am astonished beyond compare that you were able to resist a Transformers joke with Gridlock. Though this Gridlock is cooler. DANG IT Gridlock stop editing my comments!
I can only guess they were able to nab the original VAs due to the location. It WAS LA so maybe it was easier given they were basically right across the street. Holy shit, Gridlock is AMAZING. He's overacting to the point where it comes back around and lands on being subtle. And hearing the original voices...so much nostalgia. God damn, Donnie had the cutest nerdy voice.
I was hoping for another Mortal Kombat Defenders of the Realm review, where our hero Siro returns, but an obscure video about the Ninja Turtles promoting trains will do for now.
Jeremy Riley I know that. I was referring to the Dotr style Siro that Andrew Dickman created for use as a running gag in those reviews from episode 1 to 4 and is being used in the review of the 7th episode.
0:48 The poor citizens got a full on view of Michelangelo's crushed, mutilated corpse. EDIT-No joke, when we were living in Pittsburgh, me, my mother, and younger sister saw a guy in a full (albeit poorly made) Raphael suit promoting a hair salon with a sign around his neck and everything. ANOTHER EDIT-Am I the only one who wants to see Phelous do Turtle Tunes?
well they do live in a train station in the second and third movie. but you're more saying why couldn't there be any Ninja Fights on a train in any of the movies. and thee answer is simple they didn't think of it.
Omg, my cousin lives in LA and a few years ago he bought the contents of a storage building that had gone to auction due to non payment and when we were going through it, i saw like 30 of these tapes. We were like WTF lol. After seeing this video, I asked him what he did with them and he said he sold them on EBay
that spanish dub is horrid, Raph sounded like he was being castrated, and apparently, Mondo Gecko's mentioned, 'cause he said "don't worry, Gecko, count on us!" EDIT: it was April, not Gecko
Peucoman They gave him a Mickey Voice. Like, these franchise has been dubbed to Spanish in everything but the Anime OVA, and NEVER has this taken place.
@@danielsrandomchannel1472 Wonder why, the Turtles' VAs at the time were no strangers to doing unofficial TMNT stuff, even downright parodies, would've it been so hard to get them for a licensed PSA?
It's such a shame Phelous didn't get to do more stuff as Gridlock, easily his most hilarious character, I only wish every video could've had Gridlock in it
8:38 That look on Phelan's face. It's like he's about to cry from sheer disappointment. And is the guy physically restraining his sister from running away? Why is your sister never in your reviews nowadays BTW? If you're going to a disgusting dangerous derelict, she's first in line, but letting her play a part in a review - nah!
Oh Phelous thank you for this glorious review, my grandfather just passed away from cancer 2 days ago and I need to stay positive after loosing my second loved one in 4 months. Funny thing is I love trains, and so did my grand father, he used to take the train as a kid to visit his grandparents in the countryside, so this is fitting. I'm so happy I wake up from my nap to see this video in my notifications!
I found a photo somewhere a short while ago on social media of these exact TMNT suits that were promoting the original Playmates toyline, which explains the way they look.
I had a strange experience on Amtrak a few years ago. It was New Year's Eve and I was going downstairs to use the restroom, and there was this weird guy standing in the corridor. He was smiling and wobbling around like he was drunk (although it could've been the movement of the train), when he proceeded to open the little window on the entrance/exit doors...the ones clearly marked DO NOT OPEN. I stopped him before he could do whatever the hell it was he intended to do, and he responded with "the guys who work on the train open it" (yeah, they work here. they're authorized to open and close it). He went back upstairs, but just to be safe, I went and found a conductor. He took the guy back downstairs and demanded "What's that sign say???" So I'm not sure, but I think I saved an idiot's life and/or limb.
