Comic book publishers in the 1980s were falling over themselves to capitalize on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle craze. There were knockoffs. There were parodies. There were parodies of the parodies. It was a crazy time when almost every animal you can think of was mutated into a crime fighter. Here are six of the worst (best?) offenders...
6. Cold-Blooded Chameleon Commandos
5. Naive Inter-Dimensional Commando Koalas
4. Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters
3. Pre-Teen Dirty-Gene Kung Fu Kangaroos
2. Mildly Microwaved Pre-pubescent Kung Fu Gophers
1. Geriatric Gangrene Jujitsu Gerbils
I like the Pre-Pubescent Kung-Fu Gophers and the Koalas...:)
ReplyDeleteI am a little concerned about the Mildly Microwaved Pre-pubescent Kung Fu Gophers, like... who would 'mildly' microwave something?
ReplyDeleteI am also worried about the Pre-Teen Dirty-Gene Kung Fu Kangaroos; less about *how* they became 'dirty-gened' beacuse... I don't even know how that one comes to be... at least the Gophers were mildly microwaved; but I'm greatly concerned about the one Kangaroo in his bondage gear and rape mask running around with a gun and that hot little number in his arms in her clearly up-to-date 1980's triangle patterned cold-shoulder top.
Only a little concerned.
you know we still would have watched all of those if they were on TV. Just like how VR Troopers, Super Human Samaria Cyber Squad, and Big Bad Beetle Borgs were all Power Ranger rip offs.
