1''Power Rangers GPX'' might be dark, mysterious, intense and awesome, but it definitely knows when to get a laugh, usually by mocking the very franchise it originated from, taking the NarmCharm and running with it. But here are some specific examples:
2
3!!''In Parts 1 & 2''
4* [[CovertPervert "Do you wonder if ghosts can have sex?"]] Followed by a [[BigWhat Big Que]].
5* Maria telling--not asking, ''telling''--Sean to kiss her and the following exchange where she finds out he's a ''virgin''.
6* "Unleash the ''{{Moe}}''!"
7* This exchange from episode 23:
8-->'''Mandla''': "I'm not afraid of lions".
9-->'''Jasmine''': "Why?"
10-->'''Mandla''': "They are lazy".
11* "South Africa and the United States; two countries SeparatedByACommonLanguage."
12* In the [[SpyFiction spy story]] homage chapter, Sean orders a [[Franchise/JamesBond martini, shaken, not stirred]]... and promptly spits it out and orders a beer.
13* "[[WhatHaveYouDoneForMeLately But apart from fighting]] [[TheLongList bad guys, peace of mind, crime fighting, the safety, defense and]] [[DepartmentofRedundancyDepartment public safety,]] [[Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian what have the Power Rangers ever done for us?]]"
14* Part of the RetCon has Sean calling himself a "Hockeyholic" in chapter 2, thus retroactively establishing himself as a DeadpanSnarker.
15
16!!''In Supercharged'':
17* Maria shows off her ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend side: "[[PunctuatedPounding Don't! Touch! My! BOYFRIEND!]]"
18-->'''Kevin''': I'm glad she's on our side!
19* Sean, Marty, Jimmy and Maria interrupting Ritchie's date.
20* Sean's [[AffectionateParody affectionate]] Series/CrocodileHunter impression.
21** Hell, his [[BigWhat reaction]] to Floki's identity is hilarious!
22* The monster in chapter 12 getting involved in Sean and Maria's lover's spat.
23* "[[INeedAFreakingDrink WHERE'S THE FUCKING TEA!?]]"
24* "AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle!" ''G.I. JOOOOOOEEE!!!''
25** "[[LampshadeHanging STOP THAT!!]]"
26* Sean is signing autographs for Hitomi's friends:
27-->'''Greg''': How about those Packers?
28-->'''Sean''': You want my autograph for not?
29-->'''Greg''': Sorry.
30** On a related note, Sean's description of [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball Lambeau Field]] as a WretchedHive that must be exorcised and sucked into another dimension.
31* Túrelie's post-battle VillainousBreakdown that Arquen finds to be ActuallyPrettyFunny in an example of InUniverse {{Narm}}.
32* Sean gets the last Christmas present:
33-->'''Sean''': "Alright, one more--what the--[[spoiler: WHO THE FUCK BOUGHT ME CUBS SHIT!?]]"
34* From the same episode, [[spoiler: Arquen and Eruvanda dressed as [[ChristmasElves Santa's Elves]]. Arquen is humiliated beyond belief, but Eruvanda is enjoying it.]]
35* Anytime [[UsefulNotes/NativeAmericans Ritchie]] is [[MistakenNationality mistaken for being from India.]]
36-->"WRONG INDIAN!"
37* Sean teasing Hitomi's new LoveInterest Aamir about doing a "cheesy Bollywood dance scene" with Hitomi. He probably didn't mean it literally... Aamir's DelayedReaction (a borderline DelayedOhCrap) is what sells it.
38* The whole [[spoiler: "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" sequence in the climax of Part 1 is both this and SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome]].
39* ''"Jingle Bells, Ragnar smells, Ingvar laid an egg! The big bad elves lost again, 'cuz the Rangers kicked their ass!"''
40* Ritchie and Sean [[LampshadeHanging Lampshading]] their simultaneous CallingYourAttacks moment.
41* Sean getting his sword embedded in the pavement might sound frustrating. But add snarky Excalibur comments and you've got yourself a routine!
42* Sean trying to goad [[spoiler: Phaedos]] by pretending he can't hear him.
43* Sean and Ritchie singing the ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' theme after [[spoiler: Hitomi calls out her grandmother.]]
44* Although it's followed by [[spoiler: the elves releasing an information dump against their backers]], Sean mocks the elves, making an ICantHearYou joke.
45* A gem from episode 42, Ritchie pretending to be a psychologist for Eruvanda, right down to the [[AllPsychologyIsFreudian Freudian-ish psychology]] and [[HerrDoktor fake German accent]].
46** Also this exchange:
47--->'''Ritchie''': "By the way, have you had cheese curds yet?"
48--->'''Sean''': "Of COURSE she's had cheese curds, Metoxen! [[TheLongList And cheesecake, and cheese fries, and cheeseburgers, and fondue]], it's amazing she hasn't had a [[BlackComedy heart attack from all the cholesterol!]]"
49--->''Later,''
50--->'''Ritchie''': "I'm gonna get some string cheese."
51--->'''Sean''': "Aren't you gonna have a heart attack from all that cheese?"
52--->'''Ritchie''': "[[BlackComedy Anything's better than alcohol or diabetes!]] I plan on bucking the trend on the rez!"
53** The SnarkToSnarkCombat between the two over baseball.
54* Maria [[ShipperOnDeck fangirling]] after [[spoiler: Hitomi all but came out of the closet]].
55** And Sean cementing his DeadpanSnarker status after [[spoiler: Hitomi publicly comes out: "Well, cat's out of the bag."]]
56* The way Hitomi [[spoiler: came out of the closet and [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove love declaration]] to Gina]] is {{Narm}}-worthy. Naturally, [[TheGadfly Sean]] makes fun of it the next chapter.
57** The moment after they [[spoiler: come out of the closet]], Jimmy has an IKnewIt moment and mentions be made a bet with Sean over whether or not they'd get together.
58
59!!''In SIU'':
60* In ''GPX SIU'', Sean, Maria and Aaron are at a bar and try out a punching machine. Their scores? ''[[ReadingsAreOffTheScale Over six hundred!]]'' And they weren't even trying!
61* In ''SIU'' episode 3, the Rangers go to a basketball game. HilarityEnsues.
62** The best part? ''This'':
63--->''Go, Southern go''
64--->''That's all the words we know''
65* This exchange:
66-->'''Mandla/Aaron''': "Are you going to follow me to lunch? You seem awfully interested in me."
67-->'''Hitomi''': "I'll follow you to lunch, but I'm not that interested in you."
68-->'''Mandla/Aaron''': "Am I ugly!?"
69-->'''Hitomi''': "No, I'm just not that into you."
70-->'''Mandla/Aaron''': "That would hurt even more."
71-->'''Sean''': (Walking past and patting him on the shoulder): "Too bad dude."
