Episode 15 - Doppelgangbang

  • The dialogue between the Rangers and their respective clones.

Episode 15.5 - Now with Recipes for Some Reason

  • The entire thing talking about how most rangers wearing glasses are usually screwed over at one point, with Billy leaving Earth to marry a fish, Kendrix flat-out dying, and Danny, who no one wants to be, not even Danny himself.

  • Jason getting him back:
    Jason: I'm really amused that your character traits mimic those of Sam the Eagle.

    The Simian Censor: By the time I'm done with this show, it'll look like Teletubbies.
    Jason: I thought you wanted to make it less gay!
  • Trini trying to convince the team that the other Yellow Ranger is the Simian Censor.
    Trini: Come on, would Zordon really hire two Yellow Rangers!?
    Jason: Don't pin this on Zordon!
    Zack: True that, he can only do so much with what the Sentai season provides!

Episode 25 - Random Access Monster

  • The crowners in this episode deal with the ridiculousness of the real episode's plot.
    Zordon: "Now for the audience's sake, the Sword of Power is the most powerful weapon in all of existence; so powerful we're only gonna use it this one episode."

  • The wedding and the subsequent reception.

    Tommy: Quick! Run away while he’s confused.

Episode 48 - Prescience

  • After the moon begins experiencing seismic activity thanks to Master Vile looking for the Orb of Doom:
    Alpha: ...should we be concerned about all that seismic activity on the moon the scanners picked up?"
    Zordon: Why? We don't know anyone up on the mo-OHHHH CRAP.
  • After firing the Rangers, Zordon gives them their severance pay.
