Recap / Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers S1E43 Something Fishy

Go To

Billy must overcome his fear of fish to save his friends from Rita's new monster.

Tropes

  • Bizarre Alien Biology: Goofish isn't immune to his own venom. How did Finster make that oversight?
    • Perhaps the chemicals used to make the venom came from separate glands.
  • Cyclops: Goofish is a non-human example.
  • The Danza: The kid who played young Billy in the flashback was named Billy Nilles.
  • Dude, Not Funny!: Kimberly laughs when Billy tells her a fish bit his finger when he was a kid. But Billy doesn't think it was funny.
    Kimberly: Oh come on, at least it wasn't a piranha.
  • Epic Fail: In trying to squirt Billy with his venom, the stuff falls on Goofish, immobilizing him.
  • Face Your Fears: Billy has to do so in order to save his friends from Goofish.
  • Fish Person: Goofish is the first of the Zyu2 monsters to be this.
  • Heroes Gone Fishing: "Heroes" is a strong word for them at this point, but Bulk and Skull literally have this as their schtick of the day. All they get is a large pile of junk and end up hooking themselves...plus a NO FISHING sign!
  • Gonk: Goo Fish is pretty hideous, even by PR monster standards.
  • Oh, Crap!: Rita gives a small "Uh oh" when she sees the Megazord stand up after being immobilized by the Goofish, knowing full well what was coming.
  • Picnic Episode: From Billy and Kimberly's point of view, until the Putty Patrollers show up as they're packing.
  • Poisonous Person: The aptly named Goofish has venomous spittle, which he himself is susceptible to for some reason.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The Goofish flees once Jason, Zack, and Trini arrive on the scene of the first battle.
  • This Cannot Be!: The Goofish's last words before the Megazord finishes him off is disbelief that it overcame his venom.
    Goofish: No! I had you finished, kaput, all fished-out! [...] No, no! You CHEATED!
  • "What Do They Fear?" Episode: For Billy.
