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." |
