Description
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (MMPR) also known as Saban's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or simply Power Rangers, is an American superhero children's television show created by Shuki Levy and Haim Saban and premiered on August 28, 1993 on Fox Kids. It is the first entry of the Power Rangers franchise and adapted elements from the Japanese television series Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger (1992–1993), Gosei Sentai Dairanger (1993–1994), and Ninja Sentai Kakuranger (1994–1995). The series was produced by MMPR Productions and distributed by Saban Entertainment, Inc..

The series is set in Angel Grove, California, in which a close-knit group of teenagers can transform into a team of superheroes called the Power Rangers. Their primary enemy is Rita Repulsa, a space villainess captured long ago by the wise sage and the Rangers' mentor Zordon and inadvertently freed by astronauts. Zordon recruits the teens to help him recapture Rita, and later to fight against other villains.

In 2010, a remake of the series aired on ABC Kids, although only half of the original episodes were remade. The original series also spawned the feature film Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, released by 20th Century Fox on June 30, 1995, to mixed reviews but modest financial success. A reboot film distributed by Lionsgate, Power Rangers, was released in 2017. After Hasbro's acquisition of the franchise in 2018, another reboot is in development.

Smosh

 * In "Power Rangers Theme", the first Smosh video ever uploaded to YouTube, Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla lip-sync, mock-fight, and dance to "Go Go Power Rangers", the opening theme of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
 * Similar actions take place in "Power Rangers Theme Behind The Scenes", which includes bonus footage from the original video.
 * In "Mighty Smoshin POWER RANGERS", to their mutual frustration, Ian and Anthony accidentally both get a Red Ranger costume for Halloween. However, after witnessing a neighbor bully a kid into giving up his candy, the two decide to bring the bully to justice. They are assisted by a mailman, who dresses as the Pink Ranger.
 * In "BADASS NEW POWER RANGERS", Rita Repulsa (played by Mari Takahashi) appears in Sacramento and wreaks havoc. Zordon and Alpha 5 call upon Ian, Anthony, and (inadvertently) Anthony's father Daniel Padilla and turns them into "Power Animal Rangers", using the abilities of their "power animal" in battle. Anthony's power animal is a cat, Ian's is a pig, and Mr. Padilla's is a chihuahua. The three are returned to Primrose Park to fight Rita, who has her own Power Animal Rangers (namely, a cow, rabbit, and chicken), who are all defeated. Rita enlarges herself to fifty stories tall, so the Rangers call on their Megazord to fight her one-on-one.

Smosh Pit

 * Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has been referenced a few times on Smosh Pit Weekly.
 * In "MUTHA TRUCKIN POWER RANGERS!", Mari featured a fan trailer by Limitless Films. She described the trailer as darker, comparing the tone to that of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. Additionally, three out of the four questions for viewers at the end of the video were Power Rangers–related.
 * In "SMOSH BECOME THE POWER RANGERS!", Mari features a video by PelleK, in which the Norwegian power metal vocalist sings every Power Rangers theme song in one "epic" medley. Mari goes on to speculate about a Power Rangers cast composed of the Smosh Games Crew.
 * In "2 GIRLS 1 BUG", Mari features the 15th episode of Super Power Beat Down, in which Ryu is pitted against the Green Ranger.

Smosh Games

 * In the Super Mari Fun Time episode "MIGHTY MORPHIN MARI", Mari and Sohinki play the Kinect fighting game Power Rangers Super Samurai.
 * In the Grand Theft Smosh episode "POWER RANGERS DRUG HEIST", the Smosh Games Crew "act" like Power Rangers while wreaking havoc on Los Santos.
