This was not funny to me. As a Power Rangers fan, I acknowledge the the show, especially the early seasons, can be silly and corny, but that's why whenever I see a parody of it, it comes off as nothing less than mean-spirited and unfunny. I get the jokes and they probably, not likely, but probably had the best intentions, but I'm just so sick of Power Rangers being a punching bag for everyone, however easy a target it may be.

I knew that after everything I said, I was gonna get a response like this. I understand that it shouldn't be taken that seriously, and I don't want to come off as a stick in the mud buzzkill who has no sense of humor because I'm not like that at all. It just felt like the whole joke was that it is Power Rangers that they're making fun of, and not anything specific or funny or clever. It just feels like it's people who don't know anything or care anything about the show making fun of how bad the show is, but when it's any other show or movie or video game, people make videos about how good it is. Maybe I feel this way because I grew up on the show and I'm still a fan at 23 years old and it was so cool finding out that there are other people my age and older who did also, and it feels like Power Rangers should be on that nostalgic show pedestal that Ninja Turtles is on. I feel that it shouldn't be that cool to make fun of Power Rangers anymore. I hope you understand how I feel, and I'm sorry I'm getting so worked up on a video that was uploaded to the Fun & Games and Random section, but Power Rangers is a show that is close to my heart and I've been watching it for as long as I can remember, and I feel as strongly about this as an X-Men fan felt when they saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine, or how a Spiderman fan felt when they saw Emo Peter dancing in Spiderman 3.

I get that but the humor lies less in making fun of the Power Rangers and more in the bizarre nature of the fight lol. I just don't really feel that just because you make fun of something doesn't mean you hate it. I love Kingdom Hearts but I constantly make fun of it's bad writing.

I agree with everything you just said, and again, I apologize for getting this worked up over what was supposed to be a simple, funny little video, but I guess the point I'm trying to make is that it feels different when it's someone who likes something making fun of it as apposed to someone who doesn't like it. I make fun of Power Rangers, and I watch videos of other people who review Power Ranger things make fun of it too, but the difference is that they are fans, so it feels less cynical, but this video truly does feel like it was made by people whose only association with the show is the popularity it received in the 90's, so it felt more mean-spirited to me. I watched one of their other videos to get a sense of their sense of humor, and the other video I watched I didn't think was funny either. It was a funny idea that to me wasn't executed right, so maybe it's a taste issue. So you can get my frame of reference, here are the video's I was referring to.

 

This is a video of an internet reviewer who only reviews Power Ranger episodes that I think is funny:

And this is the video I watched by the same people who made the video you posted that I didn't think was funny:

Again, I do apologize, and I don't mean to come off as a killjoy or disrespect anyone who likes that video.

My opinion it is more so a video about what would happen if the cookie monster went on a rampage than a bashing of the power rangers. That being said, I didn't really enjoy watching cookie monster going on a rampage.Also, those rangers really shouldn't have summoned their zord, that's when they started to lose! And evidently you just are in a toy zord if the monster you are fighting didn't get supersized.

Poking fun at something doesn't always mean that it's a bad thing. I make fun of things I absolutely love all the time. It can be used to show just how much someone likes something, not just to show hatred.

 

 

For example, this is a video series that pretty much makes fun of Pokemon logic at every turn. As a huge Pokemon fan, I actually find it to be really funny. The same goes for the endless DBZ parodies. There are some I think are stupid (Thought that's more due to content), but a lot of them make me laugh because of how they show how ridiculous the anime can be sometimes.

 

My point is, making jokes about something isn't just for malicious intent.

I really do come off as a humorless killjoy, don't I? I wasn't trying to say that it's a bad thing to make fun of stuff you like. Hell, I love Honest Trailers and HISHE, and most of the movies they make fun of are movies I like or love, and it's still funny. I just think it's all in how you do it, and I don't think that particular video did it well. I watched another of their videos, and I don't think they're funny. I think it's a combination of that, the fact that it's Power Rangers, and how they approached making that video came off as if they don't like the show and are making fun of it. If you're gonna make fun of Power Rangers in a way that's funny, make fun of the bad aspects of the show, not the show itself, or else it comes off less like you're poking fun at it and more like you're making fun of the people who finds the show entertaining. And be funny. At least, that's how I see it.
