Many people were introduced to nunchaku as children through the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles character Michelangelo, the party dude.

As a 30 year old, I vividly remember TMNT, and it was Michaelangelo that convinced me to bug my dad to show me some moves with the nunchaku. Of course, his inspiration was Bruce.
TMNT was cool, but it improperly educated a whole generation of youth on the proper holding of the sai. Everytime I see a beginner student pick them up, they invariably do the "Raphael" grip as I call it by wrapping fingers over the tines. :)
