Rangers and then discuss it!
Today, we’re exploring the thirty third episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, titled
“The Yolk’s on You!”.
We start this episode by showing the outside of Angel Grove High School before we go inside
the Youth Center.
Wow, we’re off to a great start here.
Apparently there’s a talent show coming up, and of course, Jason and Tommy are doing
karate.
Tommy forgot their belts, and he leaves, and also, Billy is dressed like a cowboy with
a guitar.
Fantastic.
On the moon, Finster is creating a new monster as a birthday present for Rita: Fang, and
he sends him down right away.
And he has a racist Mexican accent great.
Bulk and Skull are behind the stage at the Youth Center, and they find eggs before they’re
interrupted by Principal Caplan.
Skull makes a joke about checking his cymbals and it makes Principal Caplan’s toupee fly
off.
Rita is also pissed that the monster is down on Earth already, but not really, so she sends
down Goldar, Baboo and Squatt to join it.
Tommy is jogging through a park and tornado kicks as trees.
Cool.
Rita and Finster talk about Tommy is too close for comfort to Fang, so Finster sends down
putties to take care of Tommy…
And they actually do, somehow.
Seriously.
There’s only four of them, and Tommy does okay at first, but then, they steal his communicator
and lure him into a net that’s hanging from the tree, and then Tommy drops his morpher.
Man, sucks to suck.
Baboo and Squatt finds some eggs nearby, and they decide to just eat the yolk?
Goldar is mad about it, but then Fang shows up, and he’s mad because someone ate his…
gooney bird eggs?
At the talent show, the Rangers wonder what’s keeping Tommy, and then their communicators
buzz.
Zordon requests them, and the teleport to the Command Center right away to see that
Tommy got stuck in a net like a fucking idiot.
Oh, by the way, Fang is on Earth.
I guess it’s morphin time.
The Rangers arrive, and Goldar lies and tells Fang that the Power Rangers have gooney bird
eggs, so he attacks them with rocks.
Then, there’s a nice little fight between the six of them, and honestly, that was good
thinking on Goldar’s part.
Fang starts throwing more and more rocks at them, and Goldar gets tired of this shit,
so he just shoots fire at them, tossing them off a cliff.
That’s one way to do it.
Meanwhile, Tommy is still in a stupid net.
Oh well, Fang is mad that he didn’t get his eggs back, and he starts crying?
Rita shows up, and she tells him to just obey her, and she’ll give him his eggs, and she
even magics his eggs back together as proof.
Then she just makes him grow.
I’m starting to feel uncomfortable about this whole Fang deal.
He’s clearly just a random monster who doesn’t care about the Power Rangers.
The Rangers call on their Dinozords in an insanely drawn out fashion before they form
the Megazord.
The Megazord struggles against Fang for some ungodly reason, and Jason lets him know that
they don’t have any damn eggs, man, but Fang doesn’t care.
And Jason calls him a lizard when he’s definitely not that.
Oh well, Fang takes the Megazord down, and guess what???
THEY NEED TOMMY!
Rita tells Fang to go to the dam and break it and flood the place.
This episode is all over the place.
Speaking of all over the place, Tommy just straight up climbs out of the net, and swings
onto the putties and gets his morpher and communicator back.
Took you long enough, Tommy.
Tommy morphs and arrives, calling Dragonzord, and here comes Dragonzord Battle Mode… which
is Dragonzord in Fighting Mode.
Honestly, who cares at this point.
The show doesn’t, that’s for sure.
Also, Kimberly apparently fucks off during this again.
But don’t worry.
Here comes Titanus….
And they form the Ultrazord with the Megadragonzord.
My god.
They kill Fang.
Happy birthday, Rita!
Man, wouldn’t that have been funny if they had done the same plot as Happy Birthday Zack,
but with Rita?
Once again, we see Angel Grove High School before we cut to the interior of the Youth
Center?
Zordon congratulates the team, and it’s time for this terrible talent show.
Jason and Tommy, of course, do karate stuff as their talent, and they break some boards.
It’s hilarious that the guy who’s supposed to be great at karate spent most of the day
trapped in a net.
Oh, and Bulk and Skull show up, and they play as bad punk band with some rando on the drums.
Thankfully, this episode is put out of its misery right then and there.
...they were really struggling to find a way to keep using this Japanese footage here,
huh?
I mean, come on, they put Tommy is a god damn rope net for like the entire episode because
the Green Ranger wasn’t really around in the footage.
Like, couldn’t you just say that he was visiting family, or something instead of making
your million dollar baby look like a total wuss?
Also, I feel bad for Fang!
He just wanted to eat, and the Rangers straight up murdered him!
I know next time is going to be better as we start a two parter that’s sure to change
things up a bit, but until then, may the power protect you!
