Line #39 WebAnimation/SuperFreakinParodyRangers


1	''Super Freakin' Parody Rangers'', also known as ''Go! Go! Parody Rangers!'' or ''Parody Rangers'' for short, is a WebAnimation series and AffectionateParody of the long-running ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' series, created and animated by Creator/ChrisNiosi, aka Kirbopher, of ''WebAnimation/TVTomeAdventures'' fame. It serves to [[DeconstructorFleet deconstruct]] and [[LampshadeHanging make fun of]] the absurdities the series is infamous among longtime fans for, particularly rehashed plot devices, continuity errors, and the [[MerchandiseDriven gratuitous amount of merchandise]] that comes with it.

3	The series consists of three [[UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash flash animated]] episodes, the first two parodying ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' and the third based on ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace''. A [[TheMovie feature-length]] video spoofing ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'' was made using hand drawn animation, and is broken down into three smaller segments (the first being divided into another three, even shorter segments). A SpinOff was also made as a tie-in to the film.

5	Featured in the series are cameos from professional voice actors including Creator/MikePollock (Dr. Eggman in ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''), Kevin M. Connolly (Kain Fuery in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'') and Creator/KyleHebert (Gohan in the ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise).

9	----
10	!!This work provides examples of:
11
12	* ActorAllusion: Each one of the original Power Rangers in the first episode is a spoof on the ones from ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers''. In addition, Willy being replaced in the cast roster and returning as a technical supervisor mirrors what happened to David Yost, who portrayed the original Blue Ranger.
13	%%* AllJustADream: The spin-off.
14	%%* AntiClimax: The endings for the third episode and the movie.
15	* ArtEvolution: The quality of the first three episodes gradually improves with each one, and jumps considerably with the movie.
16	* BodyHorror: Evan Splooge's nose doubles as his penis. Meat's arms and head move in ways they normally shouldn't, even in comparison to the other characters. Flyguy's neck is not unlike an owl's.
17	* CampGay: Billiam.
18	* CatGirl: Nekoneko.
19	* [[EasternZodiac Chinese Zodiac]]: The original motif for the Power Rangers in the series. Doesn't cover every symbol, of course, considering the limited number of members. Lampshaded by Chan:
20	--> Shouldn't there be twelve of us?
21	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The Power Rangers themselves embody this trope.
22	** [[spoiler:The Green Ranger is something of a reverse version of this trope in that he's a crouching badass, hidden moron...when you learn who he really is.]]
23	* DeusSexMachina: As Dulcy puts it, "the part of TheMovie people are going to be watching over and over."
24	** As a RunningGag, it's also how the pre-Space Megazord is formed. Lampshaded when Meat tries out his Space Zord, only to find that it doesn't work the same way.
25	* EarthShatteringKaboom: [[spoiler:Happens at the end of the second episode when Zordon's head explodes. Fixed at the end of the third.]]
26	* EmoTeen: One of these was chosen by Alpha as a candidate for a Power Ranger. The current team also went through this phase (very briefly) after losing to the Green Ranger.
27	* {{Expy}}: Villains Lord Zet and Nekoneko are based on Zetto and Ruri from Kirbopher's earlier series, ''[[WebAnimation/{{Tome}} TV Tome Adventures]]''. Well, their designs are certainly based on them, at least, but Zetto and Ruri were nothing like them in terms of personality.
28	* EyeScream: Played for laughs, of course. Meat's reaction to [[spoiler:the new Zords (which are [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends British train engines]])]] is for his eyes to permanently fall out of their sockets.
29	* GenreSavvy: Everyone.
30	* HeroicSacrifice: Kind of [[SenselessSacrifice pointlessly done]] by [[spoiler:Billiam]] to defend the other Rangers against a deadly laser beam.
31	** Done less pointlessly by [[spoiler:Vector]] by turning back time and then dying to keep Zordon from exploding.
32	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Other than Meat, who actually uses a practical weapon in the form of nunchuks, we have Willy and Billiam (megaphone), Chan (salt shaker), Mace (glow sticks), and Pinky (brass bra).
33	* JumpingTheShark: The third episode and the movie. [[{{InUniverse}} Actually, it's the shark that does the jumping]].
34	* LargeHam: Meat ([[StealthPun appropriately enough]]).
35	* MerchandiseDriven: Deconstructed. [[DeconstructorFleet HEAVILY]].
36	* MonochromaticEyes: A good number of the main characters.
37	* OddNameOut: "Meet my ninja putty squad: Ling, Ping, Ching, and ''Frank!''" [[note]]Hiiiiii Frank![[/note]]
38	* APartyAlsoKnownAsAnOrgy: In a sense. When the Megazord is formed, the Rangers' robots orgasm, [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext for some reason]]. (According to WordOfGod, they orgasm because when the robots come together, they literally [[{{Pun}} "come"]] together.)
39	* PutOnABus: Willy (briefly) at the start of the second episode. [[{{Wangst}} No one takes it very well]].
40	* RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude: The plot of half of the first episode. It is based on the TropeNamer, after all.
41	* ResetButton: The revelation of Pinky's real name ([[spoiler:Doodle]]) in the third episode sends the Power Rangers back into the past to the point just before where the second ended so they can save the world.
42	* RevisedEnding: When Kirbopher uploaded the third part to Youtube, the ending on the original file had been corrupted, so he added on a new, shorter ending [[spoiler:where [[TeamRocketWins Zet kills Red]]]]. It also necessitated a [[InvertedTrope revised opening]] for the movie to put the storyline back on track.
43	* SeriesContinuityError: Boy howdy. However, it's pretty much [[{{Retcon}} done on purpose]].
44	--> "Do you know how many continuity errors this show has already?"
45	* ShoutOut: Each of the Space Ranger Zords is a recolored version of an already-existing super robot (naturally, this is lampshaded):
46	** Red Space Ranger Zord: A Franchise/{{Gundam}}
47	** Blue Space Ranger Zord: An [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Eva]]
48	** Green Space Ranger Zord: Anime/TheBigO
49	** Yellow Space Ranger Zord: Anime/MazingerZ
50	** Pink Space Ranger Zord: Anime/{{Voltron}}
51	* SpinOff: ''Supah Crazy-Ass Renaldo Rangers'' in the epilogue, which was canceled after 13 episodes.
52	* TooDumbToLive: Nekoneko obviously felt this was exactly the case for Flyguy when she blasted him with a shotgun.
53	* YourHeadAsplode: This happens to [[spoiler:Zordon]] after [[spoiler:the Green Ranger reveals himself to be [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Vector the Crocodile]]. [[EarthShatteringKaboom The world asplodes with him]]]].
