* AnythingThatMoves: Kim. Just ... Kim.
** Rita, when they aren't making menstruation jokes.

* BigDamnHeroes: Bulk and Skull [[spoiler: wind up saving the day during episode 17. The footage used? ''The scene where they morphed in to mock-Power Rangers''.]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Oh, lordy. Zedd is the executive producer of Power Rangers - of which Zordon is a producer - and the primary motive is to keep the show on the air.
** Most episodes have at least one time this happens. At one point Alpha asks, "Is this meta enough for you?" before turning back to the viewing globe.

** Jason and Tommy with idiot jokes.
** Kim with slut jokes.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Baseball is referred to as Stick-a-Stitch on Triforia.

* CallingYourAttacks: Frequently.

* DesignatedVillain:[[invoked]] PlayedForLaughs by the Simian Censor, who is introduced attempting to stop Alpha ''from having sex with a minor''. Then he has to spoil it by attacking the city again.
* DrugsAreBad: Episode 11's Steroid Sosa is an embodiment of this trope. In Season 2, Zedd uses HGH to make his monsters grow.
-->'''Alpha 5''', Episode 23: ''Meth is a hell of a drug.''
** Not to mention when, two episodes in, Finster replies to Rita's command to [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "Screw with the Rangers in the non-literal sense"]] by replying "Oh, I already did. [[HilarityEnsues I put heroin in two of their breakfasts]]."
* DumbIsGood: Lampshaded.

** Played straight as well--while Zordon and Alpha are normal, as well as the villains, the heroes are ''stunningly'' idiotic.
* EditingWorks
* FasterThanLightTravel: Gleefully subverted in Episode 31.
* FlatWhat: Zordon's reaction to Alpha breaking out multi-parters [[AssPull "out of freakin' nowhere"]] in Episode 33, particularly when three of the Rangers get trapped in a storybook.
* [[FluffyTheTerrible Fluffles the Terrible]]: Episode 16, when Finster creates Goldar's War Zord (Cyclopsis from MMPR) and names it Fluffles after the rest of Rita's crew can't decide on a name.
* FreudianSlip Zack's accent allows one to happen rather easily

* InsufferableGenius: Billy, ramped up to eleven.
* JustFineWithoutYou: When Zordon warns that Jason may not come back at the end of Episode 28, the team cheers.
** The team leaves Tommy stuck in Utah at one point. [[CloudCuckoolander He then swims back]] [[FlatWhat via the Atlantic Ocean]].
* LarynxDissonance: All the female characters, but Rita stands out the most.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Youth Center scenes are accompanied by the WiiSports theme. Bulk and Skull's are various [[SuperMarioBros Super Mario]] themes. When Rita is around, her palace scenes are accompanied by [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ganondorf's]] theme; similarly, Zedd is always coupled with [[VideoGame/MegaMan Dr. Wily's]] theme.
* LensFlare: Lampshaded in Episode 7.
* LoudOfWar: The entire joke behind Episode 26 1/2.
* MarsNeedsWomen: Somewhat invoked in Episode 32, but this was more of a reference to ''Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus''.
* MauveShirt: Putty #6, notable for being a ButtMonkey in Episode 21, becomes this in Episode 22.

** So far, Goldar's the only one who's played the Dagger's proper tune. This is at least partly because [[GoodIsDumb Jason and Tommy are idiots.]]
** Jason's call during the morphing sequence is always something different.
** The narrator's tv show name shout outs every time there is a scene cut to the villains.

* [[StockBritishPhrases Stock Australian Phrases]]: The Putties.
* SuicidalOverconfidence: Episode 30 features Sauron bragging how he can dodge anything. He can't.
* SuspiciouslyAproposMusic: The series' creator is a ''huge'' fan of this. It's difficult to find a viewer that can name all the musical references.
* TakeThat: Zack's character is a shot at Samuell Benta.

* CloudCuckoolander: Most characters are guilty of this, but Jason is this in spades.
** And Tommy. Dear god, Tommy.
--> Alpha: "I don't understand this Zordon, Saba doesn't talk!"
--> Zordon: "Tommy's turned his new superpowered weapon into something of an imaginary friend."
--> Alpha: "Isn't he like twenty?"
--> Zordon: "It's Tommy, he's mentally six."
* CombatTentacles: Episode 28's Gordian Knob sure loves these.
** And DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything, lampshaded by *Jason* of all people.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Ivan Ooze.
* CrossDressingVoices: Toyed with in Episode 3. One could argue it happens in Episode 24 as well.
* CurseCutShort: A few instances; namely, Episodes 7, 15, and 20.
* DesignatedVillain:[[invoked]] PlayedForLaughs by the Simian Censor, who is introduced attempting to stop Alpha ''from having sex with a minor''. Then he has to spoil it by attacking the city again.
* DrugsAreBad: Episode 11's Steroid Sosa is an embodiment of this trope. In Season 2, Zedd uses HGH to make his monsters grow.
-->'''Alpha 5''', Episode 23: ''Meth is a hell of a drug.''
** Not to mention when, two episodes in, Finster replies to Rita's command to [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "Screw with the Rangers in the non-literal sense"]] by replying "Oh, I already did. [[HilarityEnsues I put heroin in two of their breakfasts]]."
* DumbIsGood: Lampshaded.
-->'''Zordon''', Episode 1: ''Bring me five teenagers too stupid to understand the cosmic repercussions of their actions.''
** Played straight as well--while Zordon and Alpha are normal, as well as the villains, the heroes are ''stunningly'' idiotic.
* EditingWorks
* FasterThanLightTravel: Gleefully subverted in Episode 31.
* FlatWhat: Zordon's reaction to Alpha breaking out multi-parters [[AssPull "out of freakin' nowhere"]] in Episode 33, particularly when three of the Rangers get trapped in a storybook.
* [[FluffyTheTerrible Fluffles the Terrible]]: Episode 16, when Finster creates Goldar's War Zord (Cyclopsis from MMPR) and names it Fluffles after the rest of Rita's crew can't decide on a name.
* FreudianSlip Zack's accent allows one to happen rather easily
-->'''Zack''': Power arse. Axe. Axe is what I said.
* GagDub
* GenreSavvy: Zordon. On the other side of the (Power) coin, Goldar.
--> '''Alpha''':Being self-aware sure is handy!
* GilliganCut: Episode 10.
-->'''Jason''': ''Let's sneak up on him!''
-->''(beat)''
-->'''Jason''': ''[[WithCatlikeTread HEY UGLY!]]''
* GodwinsLaw: Invoked in Episode 24, and lampshaded via caption.
** Also used in episode 32.
* GreekChorus: Usually from Zordon and Alpha, but the rest of the cast get their moments.
* HeyItsThatGuy: Ron Wasserman, the composer of most music on the show, provides the voice for himself in Episode 26.
* HeyItsThatSound: Episode 4 features the infamous Gutsman sound from the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8IiJk4Imds Gutsman's Ass]] video.
* HoYay: Jason and Tommy. Just... Jason and Tommy. Granted, it's played off the rumor that Austin St. John was in a homoerotic video, but still.
** Also Billy and whatever guy is nearby, occasionally Jason, since David Yost is gay.
* HostageSituation: Episode 7's dance party is revealed to be one of these.
* InsufferableGenius: Billy, ramped up to eleven.
* JustFineWithoutYou: When Zordon warns that Jason may not come back at the end of Episode 28, the team cheers.
** The team leaves Tommy stuck in Utah at one point. [[CloudCuckoolander He then swims back]] [[FlatWhat via the Atlantic Ocean]].
* LarynxDissonance: All the female characters, but Rita stands out the most.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Youth Center scenes are accompanied by the WiiSports theme. Bulk and Skull's are various [[SuperMarioBros Super Mario]] themes. When Rita is around, her palace scenes are accompanied by [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ganondorf's]] theme; similarly, Zedd is always coupled with [[VideoGame/MegaMan Dr. Wily's]] theme.
* LensFlare: Lampshaded in Episode 7.
* LoudOfWar: The entire joke behind Episode 26 1/2.
* MarsNeedsWomen: Somewhat invoked in Episode 32, but this was more of a reference to ''Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus''.
* MauveShirt: Putty #6, notable for being a ButtMonkey in Episode 21, becomes this in Episode 22.
* MillionToOneChance: Goldar has a really good day in Episode 28 and asks what the chances are of Jason coming and ruining them...
-->'''Kim''': ''Uh ... pretty good, actually.''
* MonsterOfTheAesop: Lampooned in Episode 20.
-->'''Horny Rhino''': ''See, I punched! [[BlatantLies That's something they do in football!]]''
* NWordPrivileges: Used in Episodes 13 and 17.
* NoIndoorVoice: Jason and Tommy. Especially Tommy.
* ObliviousToHints: The rest of the team is shocked when Tommy is revealed as the White Ranger.
* OffscreenCrash: Billy and Kim shove Waldo into one of these in Episode 3.
* {{Padding}}: The point of Episode 31.
* QueerAsTropes: Billy.
** According to Episode 24, arguably Alpha.
** According to the series, arguably everyone. At one point they imply [[spoiler:Rita and Kim slept together, though Rita identifies as 'bicurious']].
* ReferenceOverdosed: Debatable.
* {{Rimshot}}: Episode 23 features one.
* RuleOfThree: Episode 27 lampshades this with its plot device.
-->'''Tommy''': ''Any questions, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]?''
* RunningGag: The Dragon Dagger plays different music each episode... except the episodes when Jason used it, and he couldn't get the thing to make ''any'' sound.
** So far, Goldar's the only one who's played the Dagger's proper tune. This is at least partly because [[GoodIsDumb Jason and Tommy are idiots.]]
** Jason's call during the morphing sequence is always something different.
** The narrator's tv show name shout outs every time there is a scene cut to the villains.
** The onomatopoeia and various text overlays are constantly lampshaded.
-->"Outnumsixered!"
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Tommy loves doing this while being a suit actor in Episode 7.
* ScienceIsUseless: In Episode 31, Jason, Trini, and Zack are frozen by flower petals. Yup.
* UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}}: Haggis the Horrible in Episode 25.
* SelectiveObliviousness: Jason and his gay porn rumors.
** Just so everyone's clear, Jason's actor '''never''' did that.
* ShoutOut: Too many to list here, so they got their own [[ShoutOut/TruncatedPowerRangers page]].
* SpecialGuest: Mr. Mighty RAW himself, Ron Wasserman, voiced Episode 26's... Ron Wasserman.
* StartMyOwn: Invoked in Episode 25.
* StatlerAndWaldorf: Squatt and Baboo get reduced to this once Zedd hits in Episode 23, complete with "Do-ho-ho-ho-hoh!"
* [[StockBritishPhrases Stock Australian Phrases]]: The Putties.
* SuicidalOverconfidence: Episode 30 features Sauron bragging how he can dodge anything. He can't.
* SuspiciouslyAproposMusic: The series' creator is a ''huge'' fan of this. It's difficult to find a viewer that can name all the musical references.
* TakeThat: Zack's character is a shot at Samuell Benta.
** Episode 6 takes a shot at [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Mystic Force]].
** Episode 36 is long potshot against the MMPR fanfilm.
* TakeThatMe: Constantly.
* TalkingToHimself: Since only one person does all the voices, this is obvious.
* ToiletHumour: Jason has an affinity for this. It tones down after the first episodes.
** Tommy wondered if the megazord had a bathroom. It did.
*** Tommy was however disappointed to learn Rita did not install one in the dragonzord.
* TurtlePower: Episode 5.
* VetinariJobSecurity: Baboo and Squatt try making a monster in Episode 5. This parallels what happened in the source show.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Episode 24's Censor Simian.
* WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: Alpha in Episode 7.
* [[MicrosoftWindows Windows XP]]: Episodes 29 and 30 imply that the entire Command Center, let alone Alpha 5, run on this.
* [[YouHaveToHaveJews You Have to Have a Jewish Stereotype]]: Started with Billy in Episode 3. Dropped for a [[QueerAsTropes different]] character direction for Billy. Lord Zedd (who was AmbiguouslyJewish in the real show) brings it back full force.
-->'''Lord Zedd''', Episode 23: I am Lord Zedd of Nazareth. Identify yourself, you schmuck.
