Real Life Ninja Turtle Pizzas Are Kinda Disgusting

[bliptv=AYKs408C]​

Who would've guessed that toppings like licorice and granola on top of pizza would be a gross combination? Oh, wait, everyone would guess that.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon of the 1990s was known for many things. There was the rocking theme song, the butt-kicking action, the super-popular toy line it inspired, and (of course) the truly bizarre pizza toppings that the Turtles kept on scarfing down. Unsurprisingly, topping combinations like peanut butter and clams taste pretty gross, as a real-life taste test determined.

Recently, a group of Ninja Turtles fans (hosted by the Angry Video Game Nerd) decided to throw a party where they recreated some of the most bizarre pizza creations that Michelangelo listed. That's all good and fine, but then these idiots actually tried to eat the darn things and make a video about the experience. Unsurprisingly, the attached video is full of foul language, as well some truly vile-looking slices of pizza.

Honestly, I've always wondered how the show's writers came up with the pizzas that Michelangelo would talk about. Even when I was eight-years-old, they sounded like pretty dreadful things to ingest. Looking at the video footage, it's kind of reassuring to see that I had at least a little common sense, even when I was that young.

Hey it's AVGN.

Anyway, that looks surprisingly like the pizza a got food poisoning from a couple years ago...

Those aren't just any fans, that's the AVGN hosting it! Saw this a while back. Funnily enough, I was waiting for pizza at the time. Kinda grossed me out, but I ate my pizza anyway.

I watched this about a week and a half ago, and I actually tried the marshmallow and pepporonni pizza and it was actually pretty good.

No credit for James Rolfe, AVGN, or Cinemassacre? That's lousy. Saw this on their site when it was put up and it's pretty entertaining to watch.

EDIT: Ironically, when I wrote this post criticizing the article a ToS agreement popped up. XD

I noted that, but the update decided to hang (and, thus, not go through). It's since been corrected

That just made me hungry.

Brb, going to the fridge.

Hmmm, well to be honest I their problem might be that the pizzas they were eating weren't professionally prepared. I say this because I've eaten clams on pizza on a number of occasions (without the peanut butter) indeed shellfish goes well on pizza when done right. Scallops, shrimp, Calamari, and clams all work in various combinations assming again, that the chef knows what they are doing.

To be honest back when the turtles cartoon was done, California "hip" was a national rage. You had all those milkshake places infesting malls that were charing like $8 to put wheat germ and various kinds of herbs and such into a shake, not to mention the whole "anything in a blender" craze which some of them also catered to. We also had various "gourmet" eateries specializing in exotic tastes of "things you never would have thought worked together" like rasberry sherbert and bacon.... and yes, unusual pizza toppings were a big deal down on the left coast. (here on the east coast with plentiful seafood, the shellfish on pizza is a little less exotic, it might be on the other coast as well, it's pricy, but that also varies with the market price of shellfish).

At any rate I think the whole "crazy toppings" thing was meant as a sort of pop culture referance to what certain groups of people were doing. Some of it was doubtlessly exagerrated, but I can virtually guarantee there were probably people doing just about anything they came up with for real. I remember TV shows on the subject, with I think "Fried Sphaghetti and Peking Duck" being one topping combination they tried on the show.

Still, with some of the stuff I saw in the video (I didn't watch much of it, kind of boring to me) Im guessing they were making the pizzas right there, get a real pizza chef who knows what they are doing and has a proper oven, the reaction on some of those might be differant.

Oh. Super cool! Rather considerate of you.

Was it odd that I knew exactly what it was going to be James as soon as I saw the title....well I did see the video already on his site..... never mind.

And now I suddenly want to actually try the marshmallow and pepperoni pizza. Actually, come to think of it, the pickle and peperoni pizza looked good too.

Everything else, no, especially if it involves fudge if their faces are any reliable judge.

8:15-8:21 Watch the turtles closely, they instantly morph into one of their brothers. (i.e. Mike becomes Leo)

 

[scorptatious]

Hot fudge on pizza actually sounds good to me.

...SOUNDS good anyway...

 

[Saelune]

I want popcorn, or something fruity now...but none on pizza.

Unfortunately, that happens every now and then. I live in Flagstaff, AZ, and our ISP is dreadful. Occasionally updates don't go through on articles thanks to my crap Web connection

 

[Shreder55]

Well I will never try any of these recipes. But I still might make my friends eat it.

But the ending was totally kick ass haha. FUCK YOU MICKEY!! For inventing these horrible pizzas (rofl)
