Heroes on a Half-Shell

Ah, the 90s...quite a decade for rip-offs. Most of the pop culture of the 90s involved regurgitating pop culture from the 80s; if you need proof, here's a list of "The 5 Most Bizarre Ninja Turtle Rip-Offs of the 90s."

I ought to note that "bizarre" is a very relative term here, considering the show being ripped off involved radioactive ooze transforming teeny-tiny pet turtles into sword-swinging, high-kicking, pizza-scarfing ninjas. So bear that in mind as you read.

Be sure to check out the "Extreme Dinosaurs" theme song at the end of the article. Perhaps it's only my imagination, but I swear the singer (who sounds uncannily like David Lee Roth--actually, as this was the 1990s, it probably was Diamond Dave) lapses into German at one point.

The song also manages to pack the word "extreme" at least 55934 times into a two-minute running time. That's impressive, in the same sort of way that being able to lick your own elbow is impressive.
