Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

also see: Zordon


Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers is a long running live-action children's teleivision series aired worldwide, it adapts footage from a Japanease action/adventure series called "Sentai" and incorporates it with english speaking actors, new locations, and sometimes it's own original storylines. It revolves around five heroes in independentlly-coloured spandex fighting monsters despatched by thier regular adversaries every week. The usual monster battles in PR end (though not all of them), with the monster being enlarged and the Rangers finishing him off with giant mecha known as "Zords", which can form into one giant robot known as "The Megazord".

The series has went through multiple changes over the past few seasons, dropping the "Mighty Morphin" part of it's title in 1996 and gradually phasing out many of the fan favourate characters over the next three. YTMND's majority heavily favours the earliest seasons of the series and base many of their fads only around MMPR. Highlights of the MMPR fad include distorting the audio of either popular music or movie lines to sound like the Ranger's original mentor Zordo, and Ddring the Hurricane attacks in 2005, Hurricane Rita, which had recently hit Texas and Louiseana, was represented on YTMND by Rita Repulsa, occupied by the main MMPR theme song.

Bulk and Skull's theme was also used for MasterSitsu's cartoon strip mockery of parents buying their children anime titles without checking or approving the content. The cartoon strip saw a character from the newspaper strip "Family Circus" watch a .gif from the cult Hentai movie "Legend of the Overfeind"

A .gif from the season two episode "Rocky Just Wants To Have Fun", where the Red Ranger runs around in a maniacal childish fit of joy, has been used time and again by users, mostly incorporating the lol, internet and Wonderful Time fads.

The main theme for MMPR was made available on the second volume of YTMND: The Soundtrack
