** Slightly meta example: For a viewer who's hard of hearing, it can be fairly easy to mistakenly hear Alpha introduce himself as "Alpha Phi" instead of "Alpha Five." Alpha Phi is a national women's Greek Life organization. In other words, if you're not listening closely, you'd be forgiven for thinking this Alpha ''was named after a sorority." Unintentional? Of course. Funny af when you think about it? ''YES.''

* The Rangers, having just formed the Megazord, charge at Goldar... and fall flat on their face, as the Megazord uses a different control scheme, reminiscent of Shinji's first run in Eva 01 in Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion. They also take a moment to shout at each other which part they're controlling, which seems to be a nod to a similar gag in WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender.

Due to looking a lot younger than his real age, he managed to convince some kids to give him a tour by telling them he was a transfer student. The kicker?
