1	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Tons.
2	** Zordon as the show's producer.
3	** Lord Zedd as the executive producer (doing an Creator/EddieDeezen impression).
4	** Zack as [[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Samuell Benta]].
5	** Bulk and Skull as [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario and Luigi]].
6	** The Dragonzord as Franchise/{{Godzilla}}.
7	** King Sphinx as [[WesternAnimation/MummiesAlive Scarab]].
8	** Spidertron as [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Gohma]].
9	** Frankenstein's Monster (and Mutitus) as Jason David Frank trying to [[StuntDouble make ends meet]].
10	** Pudgy Pig as [[PowerupMount Yoshi]].
11	** Samurai Fan Man as the creator of ''[[Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger Shinkenger]]'' (i.e. [[DontExplainTheJoke Toei/Saburo Yatsude]]).
12	** Polluticorn as Charlie the Unicorn.
13	** Oysterizer as Music/LadyGaga.
14	** Pumpkin Rapper as Puff Daddy.
15	** Soccadillo as [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Sandshrew/Sandslash]].
16	** Commander Crayfish as... [[ShapedLikeItself Commander Crayfish]]...
17	** Guitardo as Ron Wasserman.
18	** Turban Shell as [[Literature/SoLongAndThanksForAllTheFish Wonko]] [[{{Pun}} the Sane]].
19	** Nimrod, the Scarlet Sentinel as [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Sauron]], with his henchmen as Gollum and Sméagol.
20	** Ivan Ooze as the CEO of Creator/{{Viacom}}.
21	** Eye Guy as [[WebVideo/RedLetterMedia Mr. Plinkett]].
22	** Rito Revolto as an intelligent, English gentleman.
23	** Ninjor as Jack Olesker, formerly involved with the show and notorious for trying to garner fan support for other projects by lying about how much he was involved with the franchise.
24	** [[spoiler: The Alien Rangers of Aquitar as blank, uninteresting slates meant to [[TakeThat mimic]] the Samurai and Megaforce rangers]].
25	** Kat as... [[ShapedLikeItself well, a cat]].
26	** Master Vile as [[spoiler: Mike Manos ''himself'']].
27	* CrossesTheLineTwice:
28	** In "Grimdorks" (episode 36), Alpha 5 mentioned that if the ''MMPR'' fan film script were any darker, "it'd be murdered by George Zimmerman."
29	** In "The Tipping Point" (episode 40), according to Lord Zedd, the Protractor gets his hatred from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferguson_unrest Ferguson, Missouri]]. Squatt also left some hate dust in Texas.
30	** Finster riffs on how he told TMZ that one of the Rangers stabbed someone with a sword in "Executive Meddling" (episode 43) ... something Ricardo Medina (Cole/Deker) did in real life.
31	* HarsherInHindsight: Billy's sexuality. Billy courts the most women during his run on the show, so the writers of Truncated Power Rangers made him gay as a counterpoint. Cut to a few years later; not only has David Yost come out, but he has gone on record that various staff members berated/abused him due to his sexuality, eventually causing him to leave the show.
32	* HilariousInHindsight: Samurai Fan Man's comments on how he made Shinkenger "too Japanese" for English adaptation, reflecting many ''Sentai'' and ''Ranger'' fans' thoughts on the series. Fast forward to [[Series/PowerRangersSamurai two years later...]]
33	* HoYay:
34	** Billy and whatever guy is nearby, occasionally Jason, since David Yost is gay.
35	%%** Jason and Tommy.
36	* ItWasHisSled: [[spoiler: Tommy becomes the White Ranger.]] Lampshaded to hell and back in Episodes 29 and 30.
37	* {{Padding}}: The point of Episode 31.
38	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: As Phil and Mike acknowledge in the reuploaded versions, the show clearly dates itself to the late noughties/early new tens.
39	** Rita and Goldar arguing about where ''[[Series/PowerRangersRPM RPM]]'' takes place in the timeline was made before it was confirmed in ''[[Series/PowerRangersSamurai Samurai]]'' that ''RPM'' took place in an alternate universe.
40	** The jokes about Austin St. John concern his supposed gay porn career (“RUMOURS!”), “whereas nowadays he steals money from the government”.
41	** The show’s ending calls attention to how prominent VillainProtagonist - led works like WesternAnimation/DespicableMe1 and Film/SuicideSquad2016 were in 2016.
