History YMMV / PowerRangersZeo

* ParanoiaFuel: While watch a preview of Tanya’s first music video in "Song Sung Yellow", the Rangers notice Cogs in the background, spying on them. It’s Tommy line that clenches it.
-->'''Tommy:''' "If we didn’t see them ''this'' time, there’s no telling how many times they’ve been around."

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: There's a subplot that revolves around a blind woman. She drops her books and the rangers try to help, only for her to get pissed and storm off. When Adam goes to see her, she takes off again. One of the rangers tell him it was because he "felt sorry for her", but it doesn't come off that way. Rather, it comes off as her being [[UngratefulBastard ungrateful.]]

* EarWorm: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxFtF0VFR5c Stick Together]], the song Tanya performed in the episode "Song Sung Yellow".
** The previously-mentioned Zeo theme is a definite ear worm too.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The bit where the Rangers step through the strange green vortex in the premiere. It doesn't accomplish anything aside from providing a dramatic intro to the new Power Chamber set.

** Played straight with the Machine Empire. They are initially built up a a threat even greater than Rita and Zedd when they chase them off, but despite showing they have an army and also statements of conquering whole galaxies, we never see them do much besides MonsterOfTheWeek plans, which they had less success with than Zedd and Rita. Rita even lampshades this in the finale when she says they're not afraid of them anymore, since by then they've become a joke. This change happens even earlier in the series than it usually does; following their first two monsters (including one that nearly killed the Rangers), they went from a deadly force that was intent on Earth's conquest to filling Rita and Zedd's shoes as EvilIsPetty creators of the MonsterOfTheAesop, focusing more on disrupting the everyday lives of the rangers than destroying them (then again, that was more ''Ohranger'''s doing- they had to change their DarkerAndEdgier plot after a few episodes due to a case of TooSoon).
* {{Woolseyism}}: In ''[[Series/ChourikiSentaiOhranger Ohranger]]'', King Ranger is officially considered a Black Ranger (His Ranger Key triggers lights in ''[[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaiger's]]'' toys dedicated to Black Rangers). However, considering the [[BlingBlingBang sheer amount of gold on his suit and his gear]], so much so that his weapon and Zord are more gold than they are black, with his suit being the only thing more black than gold, though the gold armor still dominates the suit's look, it makes complete sense to just rename him as the Gold Ranger, [[GoldColoredSuperiority which sounds cooler anyway]]. While [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Abare Black]] has a similar case, the fact that "Black" was in his name better better solidified that he's meant to be a Black Ranger, so that stuck for [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder its adaptation]]

* NoProblemWithLicensedGames: Even if it is just Pinball, ''Full Tilt Battle Pinball'' on PS1 was a decent game that was fun in short bursts. It even got released in Japan as "Power Rangers Pinball"

* MemeticLoser: Kat's competence gets particularly low during Zeo. She loses so frequently and so easily that it gets joked that even the civilians are stronger than her.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Rocky, after going from Jason's replacement to IronWoobie[=/=]PluckyComicRelief.

* HilariousInHindsight: One episode had the Rangers defeating Cogs by ''pieing'' them. ''VideoGame/ToontownOnline'' (and its' subsequent fan revivals) have you defeating robotic enemies named Cogs with pies, amongst other objects.

* NeverLiveItDown: For some, it's the choice of using a shape motif for the visor and Super Zeo Zord designs, especially Tanya's.

* WhatAnIdiot: After firing the Ultrazord blast against Impursinator, the monster swells up so much that it nearly explodes from absorbing the energy, barely managing to reflect it. It was later revealed that they could fire consecutive finishing blasts in their battle against Prince Gasket and Archerina, so why didn't they hit it with two in a row after they saw that one almost killed it? Of course, the answer is ''Sentai'' limitations, but the same could be said about ''[[Series/ChourikiSentaiOhranger OhRanger]]''.
** Adam actually says "Let's fire again!" but Tommy tells him to hold on for a second, as he could tell Gasket and Archerina had already lost the fight from the first blast.
** Although it's possibly present in other seasons, it's most notable here: The MonsterOfTheWeek in "Mean Screen" is actually ''Winning'' against the Rangers, who are throwing everything except their Zords at him[[note]]the reason they aren't using the Zords is because Zordon tells them to never escalate the conflict first[[/note]].\\
'''You'd Expect''': For the Machine Empire to realize that, as long as the monster remains normal size, the Rangers will not call out their one remaining weapon as a part of the Ranger code, and said monster will be able to [[TheBadGuyWins beat the rangers]].\\
'''Instead''': Klank and Orbus are sent down to [[MakeMyMonsterGrow enlarge the monster]], which lets the Rangers call in their Zords...which as it just so happens, have the firepower needed to defeat the MonsterOfTheWeek.
*** However, Zordon has given them permission to use their zords as a last resort against monsters that are too much for them (since it could be interpreted that a monster that greatly overwhelms the Rangers has already "escalated the battle". For example, in Season One, after a CurbStompBattle from Samurai Fan Man, Zordon said they could use their zords to crush him while he was small. They wait until he's large to call their zords and all three configurations they try end up on the receiving end of a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown until the Ultrazord saved the day.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The episode ''Trust in Me'' shows that CondescendingCompassion can be really offending to people with disabilities and that many of them can lead perfectly normal lives. In the episode, Rocky accidentally treats a blind woman with CondescendingCompassion, despite her being competent enough to defeat multiple opponents in a karate demonstration. Understandably, the woman is annoyed and gives Rocky the cold shoulder. After a lecture from Katherine, Rocky realizes his mistake and apologizes to the woman.

** Typically portraying her as a {{yandere}} who wrote the letter herself.

* {{Anvilicious}}: "A Season to Remember." Rather telling when the villain's main weapon is called the "''[[MeaningfulName Bias]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Blaster.]]''" ("It will make people only see things their way!") To a lesser extent, many of Mondo's schemes could be seen as this, as after their first two monsters they went from an impressive threat that nearly killed the Rangers [[RhymesOnADime (one monster threw them towards the sun and Kind Mondo thought he'd won)]], to filling Rita and Zedd's shoes as the EvilIsPetty creators of their MonsterOfTheAesop. (That was partially ''[[Series/ChourikiSentaiOhranger Ohranger]]'''s fault- they had to change their plots to that type of stuff after first an earthquake, then a terrorist attack rendered their original plot TooSoon.)

* FoeYay: It varies but this troper thinks Rita's remark about [[ContinuityNod Jason looked better in red]] sounds a little like that.
