Trivia

• This sketch is a combination of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and TMZ.
• Michelangelo is supposed to have hippie teenage dialogue in this skit.
• In the part when the Foot Clan must take care of "Leonardo", the scene goes to a meme named Strutting Leo, where shows Leonardo DiCaprio walking on a field. This meme is originally a Leonardo DiCaprio walking towards the camera on a set of the 2010 sci-fi movie, Inception. Strutting Leo appears in the main title sequence of MAD for season 2 and 3.
• For unknown reasons, a girl's eyes in Raphael's picture are censored. This is probably because the girl doesn't want to be mentioned or implied in the ad.
