Mike and James play TMNT Tournament Fighter on SNES. The winner gets to watch the last 20 minutes of the 1990 TMNT live action movie. The loser has to watch the horrifying full 20 minutes of Turtle Tunes where the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sing nursery rhymes.
With James Rolfe and Mike Matei

Holy shit. Me and my friends recently played that game. Its fucking awful!!!!
June 21, 2011 at 12:41 am
Hahaha, so funny!!!!
June 21, 2011 at 12:46 am
James is wearing the same shirt as me at the same time…That’s Fuckin’ AWESOME!
June 21, 2011 at 12:47 am
I remember that game~ it was alright, but motherfucker mike being a motherfucker. Mike should’ve been playing turtles in time.
June 21, 2011 at 12:50 am
You Said You Were Gonna Make Shittier Videos Because Of Your Time Constraints, You LIED!
June 21, 2011 at 12:57 am
LOL this was great!
June 21, 2011 at 12:57 am
Hahahhahaha …. U r gonna get it Mike. … hahahha …. Hilarious LoL
June 21, 2011 at 12:58 am
Mike’s potential penalty at the end was harsh
June 21, 2011 at 12:59 am
Whoever is editing the video STILL has to watch the nursery rhymes -.-lll
June 21, 2011 at 12:59 am
Always love video game related videos!! Thanks, it’s awesome
June 21, 2011 at 1:03 am
This was so awesome. I laughed the whole time. God. I think this is my favorite of the recent turtles videos. Brilliant idea.
Haha Motherfucker Mike! Time to get what’s comin to ya!
Love every expression on James’ face from consoling Mike to his fate, through watching the movie. Dude, I almost died laughing. You’re the best.
TURTLE POWER
June 21, 2011 at 1:05 am
man id love to see videos like this, you and mike playing video games. but just a bit longer. these could be easily 15-20 minutes using lots of raw footage. could make it longer and less work editing, since im sure there’s alot of stuff that’s cut out that people would love to see.
June 21, 2011 at 1:11 am
Awesome! You two never disappoint. I love how, in a room filled with video games, Mike picked Super Metroid to play. You’ve got good taste, Motherfucker!
June 21, 2011 at 1:17 am
I got so excited when I saw the SNES cartridge on the homepage, and you did not disappoint
can’t wait for the AVGN to make a return
June 21, 2011 at 1:18 am
The only redeeming part of the “Coming Out Of Their Shells” tour video (which I own, too btw 0.0 ) was during Shredder’s “I Hate Music” set, one of the records he put into the grinder was New Kids On The Block. Being 9 years old at the time I saw this, I couldn’t help but mark hard for that.
June 21, 2011 at 1:19 am
LOL, I see a sequel in the works after this sketch. Poor Mike!!!
June 21, 2011 at 1:25 am
Man i love this game, I have the shitty sega version though
i need to get my hands on this one.
June 21, 2011 at 1:26 am
Is it just me… Or when the ninja turtle jumped off of the skateboard near the end did he do the jerking off hand movement?
June 21, 2011 at 1:26 am
Hey, I liked it. Something a little more original than what we normally see.
June 21, 2011 at 1:31 am
Haha, love how Mike said it’s been years since he played the game while James said it’s been a while… wonder what the word choice meant and how it related to the ultimate victor?
June 21, 2011 at 1:40 am
I remember TMNT Tournament Fighters. We used to play that game about as much as we did Turtles in Time.
About Super Metroid… it’s one of my favorite games ever, and I can tear that game apart. I know in my latest run, I ended up going the back way into the wrecked ship, and got the gravity suit before the varia suit.
June 21, 2011 at 1:50 am
James your reactions were a little over the top
June 21, 2011 at 1:52 am
As Tony Clifton would say, I would need Turtle Tunes like I would need a shotgun blast to the face,
June 21, 2011 at 1:53 am
mutherfucker mike is always up to no good. haha! great video!
June 21, 2011 at 2:38 am
Hahahaha it was awesome! Good Job guys!
June 21, 2011 at 2:51 am
Do they both have Asperger’s? Is that why they are friends?
June 21, 2011 at 2:51 am
mike is hot
June 21, 2011 at 3:09 am
Asperger’s? Um……Noooo, they are friends though. Seriously Owen F.? did you Really need to ask? if you dident like the video then just Don’t comment on it.
- Anyway, I thought the movie was funny. Growing up, I do believe I remember seeing the Singing Turtles give some type of interview. and Mikealengo was talking about some weird Dream with Dog food of all things…… Again it was a long time ago…… I was thinking the DVDs were switched at the end but that theory disapheared when it was a VHS tape.
June 21, 2011 at 3:16 am
Mike knew them lyrics pretty well
June 21, 2011 at 3:20 am
I have the Tournament Fighters too!!!
It was a christmas gift along with Mortal Kombat. (My second and third games for SNES, after Super Mario World)
Of those two, my favorite was, and still is, the Tournament Fighters!!!
June 21, 2011 at 3:31 am
i used to love this game, way better than turtles smash up.
June 21, 2011 at 3:41 am
nice house btw, James (also, aspergers isn’t a real aliment, stop pretending it excists Owne)
June 21, 2011 at 3:44 am
Awesome episode! : DD More like this… Mike & James playing together.
June 21, 2011 at 3:54 am
Jimmy is hot and he has a gorgeous smile
June 21, 2011 at 3:55 am
Yay, Metroid! Mike’s dad is really a jerk sometimes.
June 21, 2011 at 3:59 am
motherfucker mike reminds me of Steve Busciemi
June 21, 2011 at 4:05 am
Hahaha, I was waiting for Mike to do what he did the whole time!
June 21, 2011 at 4:47 am
Sweet idea for Turtle Tuesday!
June 21, 2011 at 4:49 am
For some reason having that comment first only made this more entertaining. Also, seeing the “hot” comments made me realize I’ve noticed a wedding ring but never thought about it. They’re not gay, are they?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
June 21, 2011 at 4:54 am
Dude I have been a Turtles fan since the good ol’ days, and I don’t remember ever seeing turtle tunes. Thank god….That shit looks HORRIBLE!
June 21, 2011 at 5:04 am
How can you not love those guys!
June 21, 2011 at 5:12 am
about 3:40 I REALLY started to think that isn’t Motherfucker Mike a Mothefucker anymore… but yea.. he is. :—)
June 21, 2011 at 5:16 am
“Do they both have Asperger’s?” HAHA i so laughed. no i dont think they are
June 21, 2011 at 5:18 am
Super Metroid is so good that it completely wipes out any recent bad memories in your brain. Its like an antidote or something and MF Mike knows it.
June 21, 2011 at 5:23 am
1. TMNT Tournament Fighters is AWESOME!!!
2. Why did James have to go upstairs like if he was gonna do something bad?
3. Anyone remember the Turtles on a rock tour provided by Pizza Hut?
June 21, 2011 at 5:59 am
How come i never heard of that Turtle fighter game, looks awesome.!
June 21, 2011 at 6:09 am
nice video, do more
June 21, 2011 at 6:13 am
Must.Buy.Mesquite grilled tacos.Must.Borrow.Giant heli-lifted bottle of Jaeger to destroy all On the Borders restaurants……….
All while drinking buffalo diarrhea out of a skull, while shooting wildly into the air….jesus what have all you crazy fucknuggets done to me. O.o
June 21, 2011 at 6:20 am
i was thinking that Mike would put on a nes-game in the very beginning,not watching the TurtleTunes even for 5 seconds after James went upstairs
June 21, 2011 at 6:41 am
I would really like the AVGN do a review on the original three Metroid games after the movie is complete, so we can get a more in-depth review of it (nothing wrong with the less in-depth ones of course). Super metroid is one of my favourite games of all time.
June 21, 2011 at 6:56 am
Very good!!!
June 21, 2011 at 7:23 am
I had the TMNT movie James had when I was a kid. I remember it was awesome. Poor Mike. You should make another one but with James looses that game. Funny video though.
June 21, 2011 at 7:27 am
haha man, that was great. You and Mike make a great team! Keep up the awesome videos!
June 21, 2011 at 7:30 am
Hell yeah. What makes the original live action turtle movie awesome: Shredder kicking the shit out of the turtles!
June 21, 2011 at 7:32 am
Oh and BTW, Don was the best character in Tournament fighters. Properly played, he was basically the Ryu of the game.
June 21, 2011 at 7:34 am
This was a very good game, i wonder why it didnt have any sequel at all. Almost every other fighting game had it. I just hated the fact most of the featured characters were practically unknown for most people while the most popular ones barely appeared just as part of the background or so, such as Bebop and Rocksteady. Regardless, it was a great game and had great music as well.
June 21, 2011 at 7:38 am
No, Leonardo was like Ryu, Donatello was more like Akuma, because his power to swing fast the bo allowed you to beat almost any opponent in perfect and i no time. Believe it or not the best desperate attack was Wingnut’s, because if you executed it at the right time and position you can kill any opponent even at their FULL energy bar, nobody else in the entire game can do that, not even Karai. By the way, Karai was way too powerful, it was impossible to lose with her.
June 21, 2011 at 8:37 am
lolol i love jame’s face when shredder drops in ahah
June 21, 2011 at 8:39 am
nice
June 21, 2011 at 8:57 am
I was hoping James was going to win. Think it’s fair I search the movie and then watch the last 25 minutes. Loved the ending!
June 21, 2011 at 8:59 am
Lol took quite a while for Mike to cheat. I was waiting for it all the time lol.
June 21, 2011 at 9:22 am
Lol I was wondering when Mother Fucker Mike was going to Mother Fucking cheat.
Kinda took too long which made the ending a bit of a let down, but very funny concept anyway.
Seeing the contrast between the two TMNT videos was certainly funny.
June 21, 2011 at 9:28 am
Awwww, this video was disappointing. I wish James and Mike could have talked more about Turtles Tournament Fighters with more footage of them playing. Don’t get me wrong, this was pretty funny, but I hope the game won’t be glanced over just like that.
June 21, 2011 at 9:30 am
It’s cool that I watched this eating a pizza… oh well it had to happen with all the TMNT stuff you’re doing these days
June 21, 2011 at 9:36 am
Time limits in tournament fighter games are freaking weak.
And speaking of weak, please burn that copy of Turtle Tunes and never speak of it again. I realize it may not actually burn as it’s probably manufactured in hell, but at least attempt it.
June 21, 2011 at 9:40 am
This video was a squandered opportunity in my opinion. This weeks video should have been an in depth playthrough of Tournament Fighters and next week should have been the watching of Turtles Tunes/the first movie.
June 21, 2011 at 9:53 am
haha poor mike xD
June 21, 2011 at 10:01 am
This is absolutely amazing, i knew for sure that M’fucker wouldnt see the entire piece of trash and do something else, and shit, Super Metroid! now thats an awesome game
Thanks for the laughs gentlemen.
June 21, 2011 at 10:07 am
Epic lol
I gotta ask.. did you guys actually decide Mike would have to watch the shitty movie or did you guys actually play the TMNT fighter lol
June 21, 2011 at 10:09 am
Great vid, I loved how Mike was sweating it before you got started.
June 21, 2011 at 10:20 am
I’m surprised Mike have sat through this much before giving up. He’s a MOtherfucker Mike after all, he should have played Metroid 24 minutes and than put on the last minute of turtle tunes.
June 21, 2011 at 10:43 am
Nice video. You should review turtle tunes.
June 21, 2011 at 10:48 am
LMAO Super Metroid to the rescue!
It would’ve been funny if you had beaten the game by the time he got downstairs.
June 21, 2011 at 10:51 am
Turtle Tunes huh? I gotta admit as big of a fan of Ninja Turtles as I was I’m extremely glad I never came across this VHS or any of the horrible TMNT VHS tapes that James reviewed. I will say that seeing people in Turtle costumes does remind me back when they used to have the Ninja Turtles at MGM Studios in Disney World.
June 21, 2011 at 11:18 am
man i wish i could hang out with you guys more interesting stuff
plus i would have put on the snes right after james left lol
or i would not lose at that game lol funny vid
June 21, 2011 at 11:21 am
That was horrible! The Turtle Tunes that is. I could never figure out how people could put on those kinds of shows with a straight face. I mean the movies, yeah, that’s entertainment. That crap? My only guess is that these people who sing like that must really hate children and care so less about them that they would be willing to shovel rehashed kiddie tunes. In fact it would be funny if they sang them sarcastically, like they were trying to insult the child’s intelligence for their parent’s buying that crap for them.
June 21, 2011 at 11:45 am
That was hilarious guys. And Mike, I don’t blame you one bit for playing Super Metroid. That game is a million time better than that Turtles Tunes piece of shit. I loved the ending where James acted like he was your father and telling you how he was going to punish you if he caught you doing something good again, lol!
June 21, 2011 at 11:55 am
yes
June 21, 2011 at 11:56 am
Great job boys! The live action movie was one of my favorite movies growing up. That fight at the end always gave me chills. I think what made it even more thrilling was that awesome music playing when shredder was beating the crap out of the turtles. Turtle tunes on the other hand *clears throat* SUCKS! I feel bad for you Mike, but good thinking with popping in Super Metroid!
I thought James was going to walk in and simply say “You mother fucker!”
June 21, 2011 at 11:58 am
dont risk it mike just finish it and no more suffering
June 21, 2011 at 12:06 pm
You guys should just fuck and get it over with.
June 21, 2011 at 12:10 pm
I was hoping this game would turn up in your turtle extravaganza! I remember my brothers and I would get our friends over and have a huge Tournament Fighters Tournament. One of my favorite games on SNES.
That punishment was brutal though. It was torture just seeing clips of that disgrace. Made me laugh to see that expression when Shredder shows up in the movie.
June 21, 2011 at 12:14 pm
Great work guys. Priceless & funny.
June 21, 2011 at 12:44 pm
@nodapower LMFAO that’s funny.
But cute video i agree.
June 21, 2011 at 12:49 pm
This was awesome. A clever way to show us Turtle Tunes! I’d say it’s easily your best work since the end of AVGN.
June 21, 2011 at 12:54 pm
Hello James and Mike, as you may know I am Jesus. I must ask you to stop acting like my father.
June 21, 2011 at 1:10 pm
oh no tmnt 3 was the worst one.
June 21, 2011 at 1:11 pm
When they sang “this is a disaster”, I said “this is a disaster alright.” and then cracked up when Mike said the same exact thing a second later. Great minds think alike I guess.
June 21, 2011 at 1:25 pm
They should have both watched TMNT until the last 25 minutes, then James finishes the movie while MF Mike watches whatever the fuck that other thing was.
June 21, 2011 at 1:32 pm
lol
June 21, 2011 at 1:33 pm
LMAO @ Mike’s expression at 4:29
June 21, 2011 at 1:45 pm
lol this is awesome guys. this could be a really fun series. it could definitely be a low workload hit with the fans guys, just do a a little motherfucker mike versus james series where you play against eachother in various games, and losers gotta do some shit or something!
June 21, 2011 at 1:45 pm
would love to see more like this.. some kind of “Sitcom” of two gamers, always hanging together..
June 21, 2011 at 1:45 pm
have you noticed that in the turtles toons and the Christmas special they don’t have their weapons?
June 21, 2011 at 1:46 pm
James overacted a little bit while watching it.
June 21, 2011 at 1:55 pm
I love these TMNT videos you guys put out. Are there any chance we’ll see one about the TMNT comics? Mirage & Archie ones perhaps?
June 21, 2011 at 2:23 pm
awesome video guys. but on a sidenote how many times does he need to announce that AVGN isn’t over and that its gonna be having new episodes again very soon…do people not know how to read or are they just slow? i mean on every video i see people bitching that avgn is over…like if your a fan of the guys you’d know it wasn’t over by now.
June 21, 2011 at 2:29 pm
Hahahahaha Mike looks so mad during the fountain part.
June 21, 2011 at 2:39 pm
Awesome
But oh please please please, make a review about metroid series, id love to see a video about it
June 21, 2011 at 2:45 pm
Ha ha nice video!
June 21, 2011 at 2:48 pm
So here I was sitting, watching the challenge, and I’m thinking to myself “Turtle Tunes, how bad could that possibly be?” Now I’m thankful we weren’t forced to endure the full 26 minutes of it. x.x
June 21, 2011 at 2:56 pm
Turtle Tunes, the ultimate punishment.
June 21, 2011 at 2:58 pm
oh boy turtle tunes does seem really awful
i was sure mike would be like “fuck that” from the beginning …
June 21, 2011 at 3:03 pm
XBL version would be nice! I had this when I was younger..funny thing is I was trying to win one off of ebay last weekend too but didnt get it. Thanks for the vid. I can beat a lot of people with any turtle in this game.
June 21, 2011 at 3:07 pm
TMNT Tournament Fighter is knock off of Mortal Kombat
June 21, 2011 at 3:17 pm
its a disaster alright! haha
June 21, 2011 at 3:43 pm
THIS needs to be the series that tides us over until the Nerd movie. James VS Mike in game challenges with a themed punishment for the loser!!!
June 21, 2011 at 3:47 pm
TMNT Tournament Fighter isn’t a knock off of Mortal Kombat but a knock off of street fighter. And a good knock off too I had a lot of fun playing it back in the day.
Nice video James, keep them comming.
June 21, 2011 at 4:09 pm
TMNT tournament fighters was one of the better street fighter clones . loved this game as a kid but as a fighting game fan it kind of annoyed me that the turtles were so much better than every other character
June 21, 2011 at 4:10 pm
hey guys, you definitely have to do contest like this more often.
June 21, 2011 at 4:28 pm
I love this! keep doing these! theyre great. oh that motherfucker
June 21, 2011 at 4:33 pm
always ceating
June 21, 2011 at 4:33 pm
always cheating mike will you ever learn?
June 21, 2011 at 4:35 pm
Matei picked the best possible game to wash that horrible crappy taste away. He did put up with an awful lot of it. He deserves a pass.
June 21, 2011 at 4:47 pm
Turtle tunes??!! Does the phrase “cruel and unusual” have no meaning anymore? Barbarians!!
June 21, 2011 at 4:51 pm
HAHAHAHA! Hilarious!
June 21, 2011 at 5:01 pm
I love how you intercut the live-action movie with the shitty Turtles Tunes video to make Turtle Tunes look even shittier.
June 21, 2011 at 5:14 pm
Man, the turtle tunes were just awful ripoffs of public domain songs. Who was behind the music on this show, the same people as Barney the purple what the fuck is that it sure as hell doesn’t look like a dinosaur? I dunno. I googled it and found no info. But yeah. This is awful.
June 21, 2011 at 5:29 pm
HAHAHAHAHA that was hilarious! Turtle Tunes! Oh my God… they wouldn’t even do that at Gitmo!
June 21, 2011 at 5:30 pm
Haha! Great video! That ‘Turtle Tunes’ tape is pure torture. I didn’t hear of it till now. How could they do that to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Probably because Hollywood wanted to milk out the franchise in any way they could. I don’t blame Motherfucker Mike for stopping the tape to play Super Metroid, it’s a great game that’ll make you forget all about that crappy tape!
June 21, 2011 at 5:33 pm
I think you guys should play Street Fighter 2 on the SNES. The winner gets to watch the bad-ass Street Fighter 2 Animated Movie while the loser has to watch the live shitty Street Fighter Movie with Van-Damm!
June 21, 2011 at 5:39 pm
lol, great video, poor Mike (what a cheater)
June 21, 2011 at 5:44 pm
LOL funny stuff.
June 21, 2011 at 5:46 pm
Turtles tournament fighters was not so good game considering that was a street fighter rip off! good game but unfortunately komani didn’t make any good fighting games ever as i am recall.Still dudes if you are real hard core fans of those green ninjas i would sugest to play turtles on time for snes,radical rescue on game boy that happens to be the most hard game with the turtles on this hand held.Make some videos with those game ang for haven’s sake james when do you supose to make a new game review?
