Title=Power Rangers Movie

Aux2=8:47

OriginalAirDate=

ShortSummary=The Critic reviews Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995).

However, he finds a funny scene when Ivan Ooze destroys Zordon. Special criticism is reserved for the climax, which involves the Rangers (inside the Ninja Falcon Megazord) defeating Ooze by kneeing him in the scrotum.

However, he finds the third movie bad enough to not review it, saying he could not watch over five minutes of it. Note: This episode was originally posted on YouTube in two videos due to YouTube's ten-minute time limit.

ShortSummary=The Critic lists the top 11 [...] PSAs.

11. "Be an Original" The Critic praises if for being "Short, sweet, and having a lot of energy to it."

9. "Drugs, Drugs, Drugs" He criticizes the fact that the song was like "promoting drugs" and the fact that it talks about the good things about drugs, thus "mixing the signal".
8. "R2-D2, You Found a Cigarette" He notes that it seems outrageous having R2-D2 smoking.
7. "I Do Coke" He criticizes how weird the PSA is, since it just shows the man talking about that he does [...] so he can work better to do more coke and walks around in a circle in a loop.
6. "You Just Better Know What You Are Jumping Into" He points out the twist of the girl jumping into a dry pool, but mainly talks about the indentation she might had left.
5. "Snake" He criticizes the fact the Snake character was too scary for kids.

3. "Any Questions?" He notes how popular this PSA is and the craziness of the sequel. He also comments that sometimes someone would make an egg pun afterwards.
2. "I'm Not a Chicken" He notes how the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were teaching this class and the comeback line the kid says to the bully "I'm not a chicken. You're a turkey."
1. "Dead Wrong" He notes how insane it is that Pee-wee Herman is talking to kids about drugs, but also notes about how insane his show is, as well as his 1991 arrest. Note: This PSA was actually done as a part of Herman's sentence, which Doug fails to notice as he believes this PSA to be pointless since it was shown the same year of the arrest. This possibly indicates that Doug thinks that the PSA came first.

And there's also a cat and mouse in there but that no longer matters"), and also shows a strong dislike for the musical numbers and the slapstick. Special criticism is reserved for the scene where Tom and Jerry speak and introduce themselves to Pugsy, and sing about being friends.
