Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers is a long running live-action sci-fi children's television series aired worldwide. It adapts footage from a Japanease action/adventure series called "Sentai" and incorporates it with english speaking actors, new locations, and sometimes it's own original storylines. The original series revolved around five heroes in independentlly-coloured spandex fighting monsters despatched by thier regular adversaries every week. The usual monster battles in PR end (though not all of them), with the monster being enlarged and the Rangers finishing him off with giant mecha known as "Zords", which can form into one giant robot known as "The Megazord".
Usage on YTMND
The series has went through multiple changes over the past few seasons, dropping the "Mighty Morphin" part of it's title in 1996 and gradually phasing out many of the fan favorite characters over the next three. YTMND's majority heavily favours the earliest seasons of the series and base many of their fads only around the original MMPR series.
Some of the major Mighty Morphin Power Ranger fads include:
- Parodies of the group replaced by ytmnd characters.
- The 2005 Hurricane Rita incident, where Rita caused damage in Texas and Louisiana
- Song modified so it sounds like Zordon, the mind behind the Power Rangers, is singing this.
- A gif from the season two episode "Rocky Just Wants To Have Fun", where the Red Ranger runs around in a maniacal childish fit of joy, has been used time and again by users, mostly incorporating the lol, internet and Wonderful Time fads.
It is very common for gifs from the show to be reused in a parasitic way.
Music
The music used in the site is the main Power Rangers theme by Aaron Waters. The full song was included on Volume 2 of the YTMND Soundtrack, and an enhanced version with a longer intro was included on the YTMND Remastered Soundtrack.
Another popular theme from MMPR is the Bulk and Skull theme. It's best use was a site by MasterSitsu involving a comic strip from Family Circus mockery of parents buying their children anime titles without checking or approving the content. The anime movie used was from the cult Hentai movie "Legend of the Overfeind". MasterSitsu created the site based on his previous experience while working at a video store, where adults would constantly buy anime movies thinking that their kids would like it.
