* A staple of ''Series/KikaiSentaiZenkaiger'' due to the overall ridiculousness easily truncing anyone's effort to concentrate or stay serious. For example, the fight between [[TheHero Kaito]] and [[TheRival Stacy]] is put to a pause when [[SixthRanger Zocks]] waltzes in for the first time, because neither of them expected a singing, dancing pirate to pop out of [[OutsideContextProblem nowhere]].
** [[MonsterOfTheWeek Retro World]] and the team stare at Zocks as he goes through the motion of his usual incessantly showy pre-transformation dance and song without realizing that his [[TransformationTrinket Geardalinger]] got [[ ItMakesSenseInContext turned into wooden ship's wheel]] by the World's first attack. Then when it (obviously) doesn't work, he [[DelayedReaction freaks out]] and the World uses the following chaos to escape.
