I know some YouTubers are complex businesses where the money is supporting their staff. That is a different situation. I mean for smaller operation creators who are already set for life

I get the whole "I wanna support my favorite entertainer" aspect. But at some point, they're so set financially that it's like donating to a charity for an already solved problem

Charlie (MoistCr1TiKaL) turning off all his donations is so cool, and it's annoying that more set-for-life YouTubers don't do it

Also it makes me irrationally angry that Splinter jumped the line. Why do you guys gotta do Mikey like that

I forgot I made this joke. It's true, though! There is a whole genre of Treehouse segments that are essentially list jokes of random character deaths

Haha, that is exactly the kind of story pivot they often do! I am always amused at the #3 part, how they pull off the transition.
In this example a beach ball lands in a pot of spaghetti Luigi is cooking on the beach for some reason, and it splashes his girlfriend

Hey, they're getting people talking about it!
And honestly, given the shady A.I. initial toy company in the teaser, I'm betting it's gonna dunk on AI in the end

When I rewatched the first movie I did really enjoy their comedy duo

Ok yeah, that does sound extremely annoying

I never watched 2012... Out of curiosity, what was bad about 2012 Mikey?

I was mostly indifferent to him as the "party guy" but I really enjoy the IDW version. Brings a lot of levity and his "Leo & Raph, pls stop fighting" thing is such a vibe 🤣

For real, though, Donatello is also cool and all but, reading the IDW comics, he can fall into the "well, actually" skeptic guy and it can be a little tiresome at times. Otherwise, he's also great

I love how Old Spice markets to men "you can smell like apples" with a ferocious animal, and that this marketing actually worked on my primitive brain
