TMNT BAYVERSE REACTIONS TO COMMERCIALS
I watched enough commercials to the point where now I just wonder how ridiculous commercials that they keep coming up with. What would the turtles think of it?
Leo pays attention to medical commercials to stay in the loop of what’s to be aware of. Not like he’s gonna take anything but he believes it’s good to know what’s being discussed and treated. It’s also part of keeping an open mind.
"Why are they telling me all the things that can kill me after telling me the medicine helps?”
Stop and listen. At least the first two times they show the commercial other than that he doesn’t look up again. But yes he likes keeping pace with what is going on in the human medical world.
Starts off paying attention until you hit the fifteen second mark. If it isn’t a quick look commercial that tells you what it’s for, how many times to take it, he’s not gonna have that long of an attention span. Especially judging the side effects part,
“Why would anyone take that?”
Tries to ignore it to avoid the temptation. Always attempting to lead by example but the other three brothers are looking at the tv, there is no helping. They all hungry.
The first to say “We are not ordering that.” Cuz they don’t need it and he is a non believer in ‘It looks so good.’ Mikey falls for every time while Raph tells him all the time: “It’s marketing genius. Nothing is that good.” Except for pizza.
He’s put it on a wish list but it’s not important. They have groceries they go out to get somehow, they don’t need candy or the biggest new snack.
Any snack commercials he’s halfway to the tv already yelling, “THEY ADDED A NEW FLAVOR!” and that’s why Raph says ‘We are not ordering that.’ Which licks the red of Mikey’s lollipop every time. But he gets over it in five minutes.
Pretends he’s above it. He’s the leader therefore leaders don’t need fun they need focus on themselves and their team.
Makes fun of whatever toy is being advertised. He says he’s too old for any of that to matter anymore. Makes fun of how quickly it will break.
Gets genuinely interested if it's some kind of technology, robot, vehicle, or building set. Always liked the hot wheels or even the Anki Victor Robot.
LOCKED IN. “Donnie we need one!” And Donnie just deadpanned looking at Mikey. He always likes the interaction toys cuz they are different. He wants everything.
Men’s Clothing Commercials
Leo pays attention for his own interests. The turtles wear shorts/pants maybe not shirts as much but they have stuff. Never hurts to have a simple taste of fashion.
Raph does not care, he’s barefoot. They throw those really ‘cool’ commercials on about sports wear and all you get from him is: “It’s a shirt. A shirt you sweat in.”
Appreciates the arts and the different choices. He does wear pants so I know he at least looks at stuff online. I see him in kakis, he’s already wearing low rise.
Rating every wear. Absolutely acts like he knows what he’s doing. By far has the most taste in clothes.
The turtles all like GEICO Gecko. Not that any one of them would need car insurance but it’s just funny, the one commercial they all willingly watch without complaining. Mikey definitely alerts the room with “The lizard!”
Donnie is the first to point out: "I'm just wondering whether the Gecko's proportions are based on an actual gold dust day gecko."
Leo looks right at his brother on his laptop, “You looked that up didn’t you.” No question.
