This Is the Most Disgusting Thing I’ve Ever Seen

I literally had a conversation with a couple of baristas about this show 3 days ago. This wouldn’t be remarkable other than the fact that I haven’t thought about this tv show in decades.
Thanks — I haven’t seen this in decades.
Like you wouldn’t date a car. A SPORTS car.
Best artistic expression of American life!
Oh yuck. The best part is when his butt gets all square.
I guess a Pontiac Fiero was better than a Ford Pinto. We wouldn’t want TurboTeen to explode when rear-ended.
Disturbing. Disgusting. And yet I’d guess Dan gets dozens of letters a week from people with unfulfilled TurboTeen fetishes.
I feel old, remebering this…
wow, I wonder how much the teen’s life depreciated in value once he rolled off the lot?
Thank you Lindy West! For years,every time the subject of crappy Saturday morning cartoons comes up (apparently often), I’m always the guy going, “Remember that one where the kid turns into a car?” No one ever does, and while I was sure it existed, I couldn’t for the life of me remember what it was called. “Car kid?” No. “Teenformer.” No. At last I know: Turbo Teen!
SORRY LINDY.
JEEZ, EVERYTHING CAN’T ALWAYS BE AS GOOD AS THE RUGRATS.
You don’t get around much.
Didn’t that show win a few emmy’s?
What happens if you rear end him?
Something tells me you haven’t watched 1man1jar.
Don’t put a banana in his tail pipe. He’s underage.
I think the worst/best of the 80’s cartoons was Chuck Norris and the Karate Commandos.

Wow. I had totally blacked out this part of my childhood.
I’m surprised the part where he works his own stick shift was allowed on the air!
When I was a teen I used to turn in to a Chevy Citation.
Welcome to the internet Lindy! There are much more disgusting things out there.
It sort of puts transubstantiation into perspective.
I don’t get it. Perhaps because I have the sound off?
Are you serious? This is much more disgusting:

And how could no one have brought this up yet?

Sort of scarry thinking how lax secret Government experiments used to be in the ’70s.
Wait. That was the most disgusting thing you’ve ever seen?
How old are you again????
Ew— a cartoon of a BOY! Ewwwww
Hey, am I the only one who noticed weird parallels to Knight Rider there? Even the theme music was Knight Rider-esque.
Topless Robot posted the same thing today.
Just sayin’.
Stop it at 00:29 and look in the right hand corner. Is that what I think it is?
Dear God I used to watch this cartoon. I had no idea how craptacular it was. Why is it when you go back and watch these things they are completely different (horrible) than you remember them? And why the hell do they always get remade by Hollywood as an even crappier movie? Why?
