Middle-Aged Mutant Ninja Turtles

[Cartoon starts with a woman talking]

Woman: Look Mike, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and I realized I spent years trying to fix this. To fix us. And the truth is, I don’t love you anymore. I want to but I can’t. Don’t you have anything to say?

Mike: Yeah. I’ve got something to say. [Cut to Mike, he’s a ninja turtle at his middle age.] If you think you’re getting the kids, you [bleep] crazy!

all of them are just in Under Armour 
[The ninja turtles are wearing Under Armour sports t-shirts.]

They came from mutant gins a secret booze
now they do their shopping at Whole Foods

they used to be so cool
now they drive their spoiled kids to school

[cut to Don having his meal. His phone rings.]

Don: Hello.

Female voice: Hi, Don. This is Dr. Fersunberg.

Don: Oh, hey.

Female voice: Is this a good time to talk?

Don: Uh-huh.

Female voice: Now, if you know, we found a suspicious lump on your spine.

Don: Uh-huh.

[Don’s heartbeat is racing.]

Female voice: So, yeah, we got your test results back.

Don: Uh-okay.

Female voice: Well, I’m looking at the report right now. And as it turns out it was just a benign cyst.

[Don’s relieved.]

Don: Oh. Okay. Great. Thanks.

[Cut to Raph and Leo at the park drinking coffee]

Raph: Hey, did you hear about Shredder?

Leo: No. What happened?

Raph: He die.

Leo: Wow. Seriously?

Raph: Yeah. You think we should go to the funeral?

Leo: No. No. Maybe the wake but definitely not the service.

Raph: Yeah. Hey man, [hesitating to speak] can I borrow some money?

Leo: Again? Come on, Raph.

Raph: [crying] God I got to stop betting on golf. I don’t even watch it.
