* One of the greatest Funny Moments in Power Rangers will always be this immortal line.
{{quote| '''Rita Repulsa''': AHH! AFTER TEN THOUSAND YEARS I'M FREE! IT'S TIME TO CONQUER EARTH!}}
* Green With Evil Part 4, where Bulk and Skull refuse to evacuate the [[Youth Center]] at first...
{{quote| '''Bulk''': ''(pulling Skull into his seat)'' Sit down.<br />
'''Skull''': But Bulky! The building's gonna collapse!<br />
'''Bulk''': I'm not finished with my ice-cream yet.<br />
''(He eats a little bit more...when a large chunk of debris hits the counter right in front of him. He pauses, then wolfs the rest of it down)''<br />
'''Bulk''': ''Now'' I'm finished! }}
* In the same episode as the above, Bulk & Skull find themselves being knocked around inside a bus a giant Goldar is holding.
{{quote| '''Bulk:''' I want my mommy!<br />
'''Skull:''' Me too! I want your mommy!<br />
(Bulk shoots Skull a weirded-out/surprised look) }}
* The episode "Crystal of Nightmares", where Bulk and Skull dream of being superheroes in their own right (complete with pseudo-morphing sequence!). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfZJJv_jLbE They then try and pilot the Megazord.] [[Hilarity Ensues|They don't know how]].
Line 18:
* Usually by the villains (in the third season) or by Bulk and Skull, though the Rangers and Alpha would occasionally get in a few of their own here and there. Also, see [[Lampshade Hanging]].
* Pretty much anything uttered by Rito counts:
{{quote| '''Goldar:''' "Are you ready to surrender yet?"<br />
'''Tommy:''' "You know me better than that, Goldar!"<br />
''Rito suddenly appears out of nowhere.''<br />
'''Rito:''' "I don't know you. Will you surrender to me?" }}
* Ninjor got in some good ones, too.
{{quote| ''Fighting a particularly ugly monster:''<br />
"Turn around and fight like a... hey, what are you?" }}
* And let's not forget his introductory dialogue with Kimberly:
{{quote| '''Kimberly:''' "''That'' little twerp is the great Ninjor?"<br />
'''Ninjor:''' "What a ''rude'' little girl you are." }}
* When the Earth is brought back in time, the Command Center is out of power. Alpha and Zordon are desperate to figure out what's wrong. Alpha soon discovers that the reason is that ''a cord came unplugged''. Zordon's reaction is priceless, mainly for the [[Large Ham|grandiose way he reacts]], similar to Optimus Prime's "stop lubricating the man" from ''[[Transformers (Filmfilm)|Transformers]]''.
{{quote| '''Zordon:''' "I don't believe this. All this time our power outage is due not to a sinister force, but to a common household ''appliance''?"}}
* This line, where [[Genre Savvy|Genre Savviness]] slips through:
{{quote| '''Finster''': Oh, I have wonderful news, Lord Zedd!<br />
'''Lord Zedd''': What is it this time, Finster? A monster that blows ''itself'' up?! }}
* Bulk and Skull hear a news broadcast about a spy in Angel Grove.
{{quote| '''Bulk:''' Middle aged, 5' 11", heavy accent, know anyone who fits that description?<br />
'''Skull:''' ''(In a [[Bill Clinton]] impression)'' The President of the United States. }}
* In one episode, Goldar tries to brainwash Kimberly into becoming evil. The brainwashing doesn't work (other than dressing her in Rita's costume), but Kim plays along and launches into a ''frighteningly'' good Rita impression (granted, it's mostly angry screeching, but Amy Jo Johnson still deserves props for it).
{{quote| '''Kimberly''': ''(to herself)'' That gold goon thinks his spell worked...Okay, I'll show him!<br />
''(Kim turns to Goldar and assumes the Rita!Kim character)''<br />
'''Kimberly''': QUEENIE?! THESE CLOTHES ARE ''WRINKLED''! I DESERVE BETTER! ''(turns to Squat and Baboo)'' WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!<br />
'''Squat''': Er, n-nothing...your highness!<br />
'''Kimberly''': YOU SWINE!<br />
'''Goldar''': Your instruction will now begin. Kneel before me as your master teacher!<br />
'''Kimberly''': FORGET IT! ''YOU'' SHOULD BE KNEELING TO ''ME''!<br />
''(Kimberly thrashes Goldar with her/Rita's staff.)''<br />
'''Squat''': Ooo! That must've hurt!<br />
'''Kimberly''': AND AS FOR YOU TWO...YOU CLODS!<br />
'''Squat''': S-she's a lot like Rita, isn't she?<br />
'''Kimberly''': ''(sitting down)'' YOU NUMBSKULLS! ''YOU'RE GIVING ME '''[[Chewing the Scenery|A HEADAAAAAACHE]]!!!!!'''''<br />
'''Goldar''': ''(fleeing)'' Maybe this was a bad idea...for once my spell worked too well! }}
Line 53:
* Bulk and Skull got one when they dressed and behaved as Victorian gentleman at the end of "Mighty Morphin Mutants", years before gentleman speak was an Internet meme.
* "Changing of the Zords, Part 3," just before Tommy and Lord Zedd start fighting:
{{quote| '''Lord Zedd:''' "Are those hiyahs really necessary?"}}
* Zedd suggesting he and Rita have a child, which sends Rita running from the room. "Not the reaction I expected."
** Even funnier, considering ''eventually, he somehow convinced her'', unfortunately offscreen.<ref> really far offscreen - we didn't see or hear anything about the kid until he was nine or ten</ref>. Alcohol was probably involved.
*** We eventually do meet him in ''[[Power Rangers Operation Overdrive]]''.
* Tommy and Kimberly arguing during the middle of a Putty attack. While morphed. And completely disregarding the attacking putties. In fact, the two do most of the damage to the putties in between their arguing than they would if they actually fought them. Even one of the down Putties [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall|looks at the camera]] as though to say, "You gotta be kidding me..."
** The best part has to be Goldar trying to get their attention while they argue.
*** And then Goldar just quitting in annoyance, grumbling "This is ridiculous," and punching Kimberly in the face.
* This exchange between Bulk and Skull over a secret note:
{{quote| '''Skull''': ''(reading note)'' "Meet me in the hallway after school; We have what you've been looking for..."<br />
'''Bulk''': I found that in my locker. Do you know what this means?<br />
'''Skull''': [[Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?|Somebody knows the combination to your locker]]. }}
* "Changing of the Zords, Part 2" has a Moment of Awesome for Lord Zedd entering the Command Center, but it briefly turns into a Funny Moment with an exchange that borrows Rito's running gag:
{{quote| '''Zedd''': Oh, Alpha, you can come out of hiding.<br />
'''Alpha 5''': I don't like you, Ed.<br />
'''Zedd''': [[Berserk Button|IT'S ZEDD, YOU BLINKING BUCKET OF BOLTS! LORD ZEDD!]] }}
* "Enter... The Lizzinator" had this gem:
{{quote| '''Jason''': What? Putties can drive?<br />
(the Putty drives in the car, to try to run over Jason)<br />
'''Jason''': Yup, they can drive! }}
* One of (if not THE) only times when Zordon shows a sense of humor: the end of the three-part introduction of Lord Zedd and the Power Rangers' new Thunderzords. Right after the first victory against Zedd, one of the Rangers asks what became of Rita. Well, observe the viewing globe: Zordon shows them her dumpster floating out in space and her singing "Ninety-nine bottles of slime on the wall." Then Zordon starts mock-singing it as he and the Rangers share a good laugh. Normally, that's a typical [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]], but Zordon is the stoic, wise head in the glass tube. He NEVER so much as lets out a chuckle, let alone breaks out in laughter and openly mocks a [[Big Bad]].
* Bulk's "Tornado Kick" in the episode "Day of the Dumpster".
* The scenes with Bulk and Skull in "A Bad Reflection on You".
** After the Rangers tricked them into blindfolding them, plug their ears, and count to 10 (which they don't do so well), Bulk takes off his blindfold and sees they're gone.
{{quote| '''Bulk:''' ''[to Skull]'' They're gone! Whatcha do with them?<br />
'''Skull:''' ''[still blindfolded and plugged his ears]'' What!? I can't here you! ''[Bulk takes off his blindfold]'' Hey, they're gone!<br />
'''Bulk:''' Nothing gets by you, huh Skull? }}
** Skull looking through the cabinets.
{{quote| '''Skull:''' Ha! Not there. ''[next cabinet]'' HA! Not there. ''[next cabinet]'' HAA!! ''[he accidentally hits Bulk in the head with the cabinet door]'' Uh... they're not there.}}
** When the Rangers came back.
{{quote| '''Rangers:''' Good afternoon, Mr. Caplan.<br />
'''Bulk:''' Hey! How'd you do that?<br />
'''Zack:''' It's magic.<br />
'''Kimberly:''' It's done with mirrors like these. ''[showing her mirror]'' }}
* From "[[Halloween Episode|Life's A Masquerade]]", there's a bit where the [[FrankensteinsFrankenstein's Monster]], after having slipped into the Halloween party to attack the Rangers, gets spotted by a lusty teenage girl and dragged off to the dance floor.
* Master Vile's [[Rage Quit]] of the fight against the Power Rangers after only four episodes, and Zedd's subsequent kiss to Goldar's forehead in his glee of having his father-in-law take a hike.
** Even moreso, as the villain declares that he's returning to his world where he states that [[The Bad Guy Wins|the bad guys always win]].
Line 96:
== Movie ==
* Rita and Zedd being shrunk down to a couple of inches tall and placed into a snowglobe by Ivan definitely qualifies.
{{quote| '''Rita:''' "Earthquake! ''Earthquake!" ''}}
** Taken further when Rita and Zedd are shown on the surface of the moon during the climactic battle between Ivan and the Ninja MegaFalconzord, ''still in the snowglobe and cheering for the Rangers.''
* Adam's reaction to the Frog being the animal his new powers are taken from, after the rest of the team at this point had received imposing animals such as the Ape, Wolf and Bear.
* Bulk & Skull protesting that it was them, not the Rangers, who saved Angel Grove.
{{quote| '''Skull:''' "Power Rangers"?!<br />
'''Bulk:''' Bulk and Skull! }}
* "I am King Goldar! The ruler of the universe!" How long had he been waiting to say ''that?''
Line 106:
* Ivan Ooze (to the hypnotized parents): "Frankly, I am sick of your ugly faces and your dull personalities."
* This line:
{{quote| '''Ivan Ooze''': "All the things I've missed! The Black Plague! The Spanish Inquisition! ''[[The Brady Bunch]] Reunion!''"}}
* Goldar's reaction to the Zords. He knows once they appear that the bad guys are screwed, and flees from Ivan.
* "So, you think she's cute too, huh?" Hearing that from Goldar of all people even makes Ivan stop for a second to reboot.
* The Rangers morph, perform coordinated backflips and strike an heroic pose to discover...that the [[Mooks]] have used the time to clear out and set up an ambush.
* The [[Bavarian Fire Drill]] that Bulk and Skull pull when they land at the construction site.
* From "The Trouble With Shellshock", when the eponymous [[Monster of the Week]] is enlarged to Kaiju-size:
 
{{quote|'''Shellshock:''' Wait 'till [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles| those Teenage Mutants]] see what a full-grown turtle can do!}}
:* This would prove [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] years later in the episode of ''[[Power Rangers in Space]]'' when they actually appeared as guest-stars.
