Mahou Sensei Negima[]

The Mahora Sentai Baka Rangers from the live-action series

In Ken Akamatsu's Negima, there were a group of students in Class 2/3-A that always scores the lowest in their exams and were known as the Baka Rangers.

All five characters would show up in all series, However, how they are portrayed in the various media are very different. The manga just portrays the five as simple underachievers and the "Baka Rangers" name is just a nickname for the group. The versions shown in Magister Magi Negima!? portray them in 90 second shorts with Makie being the target of the series' pranks and pratfalls. The versions shown in the 5-minute Baka Ranger shorts give the illusion that this would be played straight, but never really showing any sort of big fights outside of the opening titles.

X-Men: The Animated Series[]

In the episode "The Juggernaut Returns" (aired on May 6, 1995), when the new Juggernaut tries to stop Cyclops and Wolverine from escaping after they take back the Ruby of Cyttorak (to give it to the original Juggernaut Cain Marko to restore his powers), his failure to disable the Blackbird (the X-Men's jet) leads to him falling into a TV studio. Inside, he encounters Blue and Pink Ranger characters – as well as men in monster suits. He immediately flees the studio upon seeing this, and a musical arrangement resembling the PR theme is briefly heard. TV STORY-The Juggernaut Returns

This parody is due to the fact that like Power Rangers, the 90's X-Men series - along with other Marvel Comics properties – were also being produced by Saban around that time; and this aired during season 2 of the original show. The studio that the new Juggernaut falls into is named "Banzai Film," an obvious parody of Bandai.

In the Pokémon remakes of the first Generation III games, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a group of local heroes named the Hoenn Rangers Coexistence Force are mentioned in six different locations in the game. Unlike most Power Rangers references, the team is of equal amounts of female and male members, where traditionally males outnumber the females.

As described by an NPC located in TV Mauville, the show had apparently ran into unfortunate timing, as when they aired, the Contest Spectaculars also began becoming popular, shoving the Hoenn Rangers aside from the limelight and airwaves. Posters and toys of the characters are found in various places, with the interactive toy boxes mentioning one of the Hoenn Rangers, whose personality traits have been used as traits for rangers in the past and future. The toys themselves have their price tags either torn or made illegible.

A face board of one of the Hoenn Rangers in a simple pose, this one being Lilycove Viridian, can fittingly found on the roof of the Lilycove Department Store, whose appearance appears to be based off of MMPR Green Ranger.

In Season 2, Episode 25, the Red Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (which is actually an Auto Morph Jason action figure) is the interview subject during the flu season segment. He says how the Power Rangers offer great health insurance but even a Ranger can get flu and call in sick. The scene cuts to the consequences, a Megazord with one zord arm, fighting a giant crab. The toy depicted is a Deluxe Lightspeed Megazord (from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue). Additionally, since a single zord makes up the upper torso and arms, it's technically missing part of a zord, rather than one whole zord.
In Season 3, Episode 43, Randy is dressed as a Pink Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in his worst Halloween and School Day. The costume is not accurate to the show however, since there are two white circles on the chest instead of white diamonds, the costume lacks the morpher buckle, and has no diamonds around the gloves and boots.
In Season 5, Episode 85, Mesogog ends up working as a manager at a Wendy's fast-food restaurant after he is defeated by the Power Rangers. The sketch focuses on forgotten characters from 1990's popular culture, but Mesogog is from Power Rangers Dino Thunder, which aired in 2004 and therefore isn't part of the 1990's. However, the Rangers that are seen fighting Mesogog are from 1993's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
In Season 5, Episode 100, the series is spoofed along with Yogi Bear in a sketch titled Power Forest Rangers. In the sketch, Ranger Smith morphs and splits into the five Power Forest Rangers as a last resort attempt to get Yogi Bear to stop stealing picnic baskets. Yogi, in retaliation, transforms into a live-action Sentai/PR-based bear monster, and engages in a tokusatsu-style battle with the Power Forest Rangers. After a battle scene, the sketch cuts to a man in a boardroom in Japan, saying to the board members, "And that is how you bring Yogi Bear to Japan! You're welcome!" The board members disinterestedly leave, one placing a sword on the table and pushing it towards the man, implying that their message is that the man should kill himself by committing seppuku.
In Season 6, Episode 116, the series is spoofed along with Teletubbies in a sketch titled Mighty Tubby Power Rangers. In the sketch, the Teletubbies are recruited by Zordon to save the Earth.
In Season 8, Episode 152, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are in their Megazord fighting a twelve-story tall moss monster. After the monster smashes into the apartment wall of a married couple, Herb and Glynnis, they enter the moss monster's anal cavity, mistaking it for a cave. Herb makes the bad decision to ignite a lighter when he drops his flashlight. The lighter ignites a methane pocket and triggers an explosion, launching them out of the monster's anal cavity and killing them upon the impact of their landing. Herb and Glynnis' grave, seen at the end of the sketch, has a stone-carved moss monster sculpture with a flaming rear end atop it.
In Season 9, Episode 175, Rita Repulsa advertises "Rita's Magic Wand Natural Male Enhancer", which allows her to enlarge one's penis size with her Magic Wand.
In Season 10, Episode 198, a sketch sees Rita Repulsa managing to reduce the Power Rangers from brave heroes to irresponsible drunks by exposing them to alcohol, and finally defeats them by reporting them to the police for underage drinking.

Rugrats[]

The Nickelodeon cartoon series Rugrats had one episode, entitled "Mega Diaper Babies", have the babies watch a series called "Mega Hyper Heroes", which was a combination of Power Rangers (a team of teens who transform into heroes), Fantastic Four (four heroes using shapeshifting, super strength, invisibility and fire power), and Captain Planet and the Planeteers (using the rings to call up their powers and protecting the environment). When Angelica steals their figurines, the babies pretend to be their own versions of the heroes to go rescue them.

In the episode "The Comeback", the VHS release of "The Wanna-Be Ranger" can be seen at a video store.

Sesame Street[]

Super Morphin Mega Monsters was a recurring Sesame Street sketch in the 1990s, spoofing the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers franchise, down to the logo & theme song.

The Mega Monsters team consisted of Elmosaurus, Zoeceratops, Telly Dactyl, & Rosita Raptor (in that configuration), who would "morph" into caped & helmeted outfits (rather than spandex and full-head helmets) when trouble arose. Their arch-enemy was the evil monster alien Zostic (parody of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd), ruler of the planet Enormous, who would send his underlings to cause trouble on Earth in various ways.

In contrast to the fight scenes on the real Power Rangers, the Mega Monsters would run around and wave their arms in vaguely martial arts-style motions, but would only reason with others instead of attacking with punches and kicks (at least onscreen). They also do not summon a Megazord or Zords. However, they do have a "morphing" sequence (albeit without visible Morphers), and Telly using a Communicator-esque device that he only refers to as a "wrist computer". A school like Angel Grove High is implied in the 'morphing' stock footage, because Telly asks Elmo if he had studied for a math test. There is also no Command Center, and no mention of any equivalents to Zordon or Alpha 5. Additionally, rather than having a fixed team leader, each Mega Monster takes turns leading the team, an element only used rarely in Power Rangers and Super Sentai.

A still from the segments was used on the cover of the critical book Saturday Morning Censors.

Studio C[]

Justice Trio[]

In the BYUTV sketch comedy series Studio C, there was a sketch called "Justice Trio: Rejected Power Rangers Sequel". As the name & description says, it purports to have been a rejected sequel to Power Rangers in the late '90s.

In the video "footage", the Justice Trio lacked identical suits or helmets & simply resembled average superheroes with seemingly poor superpowers. The team consisted of Brain Attack (portrayed by Jason Gray), who seemed to lack some actual mind-related powers (like telekinesis) & fought using brainwaves & teleportation, Steel Blade (portrayed by Stacey Harker), who lacked actual weapons who fought using his hands which seemed to contain Qi-like energy, & Rotting Flesh (portrayed by Mallory Everton), who suffered from leprosy.

Justice Rangers[]

Studio C later made another sketch entitled "Justice Rangers: It's Lunchin' Time", which may be inspired by the 2017 reboot film.

In the sketch, the Justice Rangers face Rita Repulsa (portrayed by Mallory Everton) in the high school cafeteria, when they're suddenly joined by the lunch lady, Miss Sammich (portrayed by Stephen Meek). Miss Sammich manages to defeat Rita before suddenly going rogue. With Rita's staff in her hand, she manages to clobber the Justice Rangers to the ground. Just as she's about to finish them off, however, Miss Sammich is stopped by the school custodian (portrayed by Whitney Call), who happens to be in love with her. After the two embrace, Miss Sammich reveals her first name to the Justice Rangers—Cindy—before she & the custodian fly away.

The Justice Rangers' costumes were made to resemble the suits of the 2017 movie team. Also, they all seem to wear the same helmet, which bears a strong resemblance to that of the Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger.

Mighty Medallion Morphers[]

In another parody sketch by Studio C, a team of Rangers fight the evil Dr. Destructo (portrayed by Gabby Moore) and her army of Cyber Ninjas. However, one of the Rangers (portrayed by Jason Gray) has packed the wrong medallion and ends up transforming into a fisherman.

We Bare Bears[]

In the 26th episode of the 4th season entitled "Imaginary Friend", the Baby Bears create a spacesuit-wearing bear called Silver Bear to be their imaginary friend after seeing a kid in the park watching an episode of "Ultra Meteorite Fighters" on his portable TV. He is a superhero who wants to fight crime 24 hours a day. He also tends to impart what appears to be wholesome lessons from time to time. Wanting to help, the trio gain powers of their own and transform into Power Rangers-like heroes and fight with bear-themed mecha, with the mute Ice Bear summoning his with a flute a la the Green Ranger. However, their love of the violent action show causes the Baby Bears to have their imaginations run wild and Silver Bear goes out of control, encouraging them to hurt others by imagining people are monsters they need to fight.

Eventually, Silver Bear becomes corrupted and transforms into a villain called Blackstone that the Baby Bears must defeat using their mecha. After Silver Bear fades away, the Baby Bears decide not to use their imaginations for the rest of the day. TV STORY-Imaginary Friend

To add to the massive homage, the voice of Silver Bear is done by the late Jason David Frank, complete with some of his signature kiai. Silver Bear's turn to evil also mirrors that of Jason David Frank's role as Lord Drakkon.
