Web Video / Power Rangers Marathon Stream

Hosted by Twitch TV, the Power Rangers Marathon was a 15-day long marathon running from March 13th, 2017 to March 28th, 2017 showing every single episode of the Power Rangers show's various incarnations from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers to Power Rangers Dino Charge. Every. Single. Episode - all 831 of them. Done partially to promote the then-upcoming 2017 movie, the stream is/was massively successful with tens of thousands of active viewers on all hours of the day and millions of total views within the first day. Naturally, due to the franchise being nearly 25 years old at the point of the stream and airing globally across multiple channels during the seasons' runs, a huge variety of folks joined the chat to be entertained and poke fun at the show's more ridiculous moments.

An archive of some of the stream is watchable here. This links to an archive of the entire chat, with logs denoting which episode or season it is in. For better results, read it using an advanced Notepad software.

Tropes that are common to the stream and its chat:

• Butt-Monkey: Cestro (Blue Alien Ranger) also known as Clip, due to his extremely frequent appearance in adverts showing him getting knocked down a hill and comically grunting all the way down.
• Catchphrase: According to the chat, Lothor's is "Dickens".
• Flat "What": A common reaction to the more insane happenings in the show like Ninja Storm's guinea pig sensei or the rollerskates using Mega Battle mode from Time Force.
• Lethal Joke Weapon: Cruger's (SPD Shadow Ranger) Shadow Sabre, which the chat concluded is made out of rubber due to its bending.
• Long Runner: Over eight hundred episodes, twenty one seasons, and hundreds of hours worth of footage results in a marathon nearly three weeks long.
• Not a Morning Person: Due to the stream's timing, it sadly caused many beloved episodes to air late at night or very early in the morning, quite a few of the chat hopped in well into the dark hours or woke up earlier than usual.
• Running Gag: Tons of them. Almost always in all-caps because this is Twitch chat.
  • BLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBL! ^Explanation  Said whenever Putties appeared to fight the rangers, in reference to the noises they made. It's also been co-opted for some of the Mooks of other seasons.
    • CAWCAWCAWCAW ^Explanation  Similarly, used for the Tengas in season 3.

    • REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ^Explanation  Similarly, used for the Batlings. Returned for whenever Kira of Dino Thunder used her sonic screech.
  • TOMMY AFK ^Explanation  Said whenever stock footage constraints kept Tommy out of the action temporarily, AFK meaning "away from keyboard". It has since been expanded to showing up whenever the Rangers of the current season need help, even if (or especially if) Tommy is not part of the season at all.
    • X AFK ^Explanation  Expanded to the following seasons and characters who were similarly restrained due to lack of stock footage.
  • Referring to Bulk and Skull as Roadhog and Junkrat, due to their Fat and Skinny similarities and Skull and Junkrat having signature laughs.

  • Spamming the KappaPride emote during a Ho Yay moment.
  • 18+ ^Explanation  Said whenever something mature (or anything the chat considers mature) occurs, including suggestive lines and rather revealing outfits are shown off.

  • Spamming the chat with random letters whenever someone is shown typing on a computer.
  • Spamming the chat with numbers when numbers are entered for a morphing sequence or activating weaponry. The most common numerical combinations are 3-3-5, 1-2-3, or 5-7-8 (stemming from a scene in Power Rangers S.P.D. where Bridge is counting while trying to defeat Krybots).
  • Spamming the lyrics to the current show's theme song whenever it plays, even as an instrumental.
    • In occasional cases, the lyrics of the show's Sentai counterpart would also be spammed as well.
  • #NotMyRangers ^Explanation  First said when Rocky, Adam and Aisha replaced Jason, Zack and Trini as rangers, but is said whenever a ranger replacement takes place or are reminded of past rangers.
    • #NotMyX ^Explanation  Similar to the above, but where X is anything that used to be in the show, for example, #NotMyZordon, said when Dimitria replaced Zordon as the rangers' mentor.
  • The Waiting Room ^Explanation  Said in anticipation of either a well known episode (Forever Red Waiting Room), a specific season (Zeo Waiting Room), or the arrival of a new ranger (Gold Ranger Waiting Room). Almost as often, it was used to troll with series that were not part of the marathon (Tokumei Sentai Go Busters Waiting Room, GARO Waiting Room).
  • FIX IT, BILLY! ^Explanation  Whenever the stream went down, the chat was quick to call for Billy to get the stream back online.

  • MILLIONS DEAD / X OF PEOPLE DEAD / BRAZILIANS DEAD ^Explanation  Whenever a huge explosion occurs or a building is destroyed during a Zord battle (even if the show tries to explain that the building was empty), the chat utters a variation of this. "BRAZILIANS DEAD" became the joke version
    • MILLIONS REVIVED ^Explanation Whenever a large group of Rangers or civilians are revived/restored in some way from the effects of an affliction.
  • SPOILERS ^Explanation  Said anytime an episode contained a Next Time On segment or anytime a Spoiler Opening occurred.

    • SUDDENLY NEW ZEALAND ^Explanation  Said whenever California Doubling occurs, showing what is obviously a New Zealand-like environment in what is supposed to be America (and in one case for an episode of SPD, Japan).

  • NOW, I'M MOTIVATED! ^Explanation  Eric, the Quantum Ranger in Time Force, is played by Daniel Southworth, best known for playing Vergil in the Devil May Cry series.
  • RED RANGER IS A MURDERER / REDRUM RANGER ^Explanation  Ricardo Medina Jr, who played Cole, recently pleaded guilty to stabbing his roommate with a sword. Also applies to his appearance as Deker, where the meme was heavily reused, to the point of viewers claiming that he has the murder weapon (Uramasa).
    • Wild Force as a whole gets lambasted by the chat with Black Comedy. In the logs, nearly 8000 instances of the word murder and nearly 4000 instances of the word roommate.
    • Samurai, also starring Medina, also gets this phrase around, even moreso due to Deker being a swordsman.
    • It even reached the point in Super Megaforce when the Animarium is reintroduced (for the Rangers to gain the Red Lion Zord) and the chat immediately spammed the chat with the aforementioned phrases.
  • TOMMY WISEAU ^Explanation  Said whenever Master Org/Viktor Adler appears, because of his similarity to the "filmmaker".
  • EXPOSED ^Explanation  Whenever a Ranger accidentally reveals their identity.
  • META ^Explanation  When someone or something leans on the fourth wall or lampshades something that's a staple for the franchise.
  • X / O ^Explanation  Spammed whenever the SPD Rangers use their Delta Morphers' Judge mode to determine if a monster is guilty or innocent.

  • FOR HONOR / NO HONOR ^Explanation Seen whenever someone talks about honor, takes an action for the sake of upholding honor, or does something deemed dishonorable towards a foe. Koragg of Power Rangers Mystic Force is especially fond of noting instances of honor and dishonor.

  • 1v1 ME BRO ^Explanation Seen whenever two characters agree to a solo fight between the two of them, with external assistance discouraged.
  • STAR WARS / REVERSE STAR WARS ^Explanation The dynamic between Nick - Koragg was noted for its close resemblance to Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. The situation then reversed when Nick got possessed by evil and Leanbow was trying to save him.
  • GOTTA GO FAST ^Explanation Referencing the English theme song for Sonic X, this phrase is used whenever someone, usually a Ranger, is displaying incredible feats of Super-Speed.
  • SHUT UP DAX / STFU DAX ^Explanation Being a perceived fandom Butt-Monkey, this phrase is uttered in the chat pretty much whenever Dax says something that warrants some eye-rolling.
  • Grow, I guess ^Explanation This phrase is usually seen whenever a monster is getting enlarged.
  • NA (insert something ^Explanation  The phrase is often thrown around whenever something defies normal world laws, such as NA physics when one survives a long fall.
    • The more infamous version of this is "NA Acting" wherein cases of poor acting from the actors and actresses are brought up, and the chat would spam this out of disgust.
  • Who fed X? ^Explanation  Whenever a League of Legends character is compared to a PR character, and said PR character unleashes a Curb-Stomp Battle, they would naturally wonder who fed said character with enough energy.
