This page categorizes pages using assessment grades, through built-in transclusion from {{Chemicals}}.
Quality scale[edit]
Chemicals pages progress grading scheme | |
A-Class | The article provides a well-written and complete description of the chemical compound, as described in How to write a Great Article. It includes the full standard infobox table of chemical and physical data, and an appropriate series of headings to break up the article. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably from the "hard" scientific literature rather than websites. It should either have a properly drawn (ChemDraw or equivalent) structure for covalent compounds, or preferably a photograph if it is a simple ionic compound. It should be at the stage where it could at least be considered for featured article status. |
B-Class | The article is "almost there" but it may be missing one of the following: a data table, balance of content, or an important section. Alternatively, the English may need a comprehensive rewrite to make it flow. |
C-Class | The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains much irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup |
Start | The article has a good amount of content, but it is still weak in certain areas, and may lack a table. For example it may cover the uses and physical properties extensively, but be weak on actual chemistry. |
Stub | The article is either a very short article or a stub that will need a lot of work to bring it to A-Class level, although there may be a significant amount of material in the article. |
Grades lower than this should not be used for articles in the worklist of the Chemicals Wikiproject.

IMAGE FILE PRESS presents the latest issue of our monthly zine, IMAGE FILES. Every month we ask an artist to select an image and create 7 "responses" to it. The results are published as a PDF download. Our 10th issue features Keith Wilson. A filmmaker, photographer and performance artist based in San Francisco, his films have been exhibited at Sundance, the Berlinale and South by Southwest as well as the United States National Gallery of Art. In addition to recent solo shows at the Martina Johnston Gallery in Berkeley and the SOFA Gallery in Austin, his artist book EVERY BUILDING ON BURNET [burn-it] ROAD was exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery and the Brandhorst Museum as part of the exhibit Ed Ruscha & Co. In addition to co-editing and self-publishing (with Shannon O'Malley) the forthcoming GAY MEN DRAW VAGINAS, his book of photographs, SEE I SAW, will be published by Publication Studio in the Fall of 2014. In 2009, he began the ongoing interactive performance THE CAVE & MOUNTAIN TOUR, which was recently featured at the 2013 Fusebox Festival in Austin, Texas. In 2015, his books, films and performances will be presented at the University of Georgia where he will be a Visiting Artist. Keith has an MFA in film production from the Radio-TV-Film Department at UT-Austin and grew up on a cul-de-sac in suburban Atlanta
Additionally, thanks to the support of the Propeller Fund, we are experimenting with ways to support our contributing artists. While our publications are always free, being a working artist is not. If you've enjoyed IMAGE FILES in the past, please consider donating to the PRESS. Any amount is greatly appreciated and 75% of all money raised will go directly to the currently featured artist(s) (the remaining 25% will go towards administrative costs).

Roundy's, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2012 Financial Results
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 2.1% to $259.5 million, from $254.1 million in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 26.4% for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to 26.2% in the same period last year. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales primarily reflects reduced LIFO expense and an increased perishable sales mix, partially offset by greater price and promotional investments in certain markets and increased shrink.
Operating and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased to $232.3 million, from $223.1 in the same period last year. Operating and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 23.7% in the fourth quarter of 2012, from 23.0% in the same period last year, due to increased occupancy costs related to new and replacement stores, a non-recurring pension withdrawal charge of $1.0 million, incremental costs related to being a public company and reduced labor and fixed cost leverage in the Company's core business resulting from lower same-store sales.
During the fourth quarter, the Company's market capitalization experienced a significant decline. As a result, management believed that there were circumstances evident which indicated that the fair value of the Company's reporting unit could be below its carrying amount. Management therefore updated its annual review of goodwill for impairment that had been completed in the third quarter, and concluded that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $120.8 million ($106.4 million after-tax). The non-cash impairment charge will not affect the Company's liquidity, operating cash flows or compliance with debt covenants.
For the fourth quarter of 2012, adjusted net income was $8.6 million, or $0.19 adjusted diluted earnings per common share, compared to $9.2 million, or $0.30 adjusted diluted earnings per common share, for the fourth quarter of 2011. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2012 excludes a $106.4 million after-tax goodwill impairment charge, or $2.37 per diluted common share, and a $0.6 million after-tax charge, or $0.01 per diluted common share, for the non-recurring pension withdrawal charge, as discussed above. Reported net loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $98.4 million, or $2.19 loss per diluted common share.

Now we have our 6 firings: Carly, Vivian, Taylor, Quinn, Chloe, and Dario. Another good choice, Days!!! I would still like to see Melanie, Daniel, Rafe, and Gabi fired, with Abby recast and Caroline, Abe and Roman moved to recurring. I would even move Maggie, Kate and Stefano to recurring if it meant saving more bucks.

I found him to be kinda cute and charming. Plus, he had sexy lips . His acting was stiff and kinda awkward, but there was something about him I liked. But DAYS does seem to be moving in the right direction. Maybe I will be able to invest in this show, since all my other soaps are dying, I will need a new soap to watch……….

Henry, yes RA4 is easy and the prints look great.
Try adding 5-10 points of yellow to your prints if these scans are representative of the actual test print color balance.
You will need to add some exposure also but not much.
Balancing corrections will come second nature after a little experience.
I'm using some expired Supra Endura sheets and also a fresher ROLL of Kodak Edge, 8"x610'
The roll is inside a brown paper wrapper (inside a box) and the box is about 14-18 inches square.
It maybe weights 5-10 lbs.
Sorry for the Imperial measurements.

@Mor - It's a tricky situation though. There are several countries in Europe where they are actively trying to ensure that gender isn't taught in schools. So, they carefully pick books that don't talk about gender and they refer to all the children by the same pronouns. This is supposed to promote equality between the sexes.
But, at the same time, people in these countries can face discrimination when they need gender reassignment. Until very recently, Sweden required people to be sterilized before they could undergo reassignment, for example.
I don't think the answer is to try and erase gender altogether. I think that it needs to be addressed in a more complex and open minded way.

Maruti Suzuki India on Wednesday said it would recall 13,157 units of its three diesel models of Dzire, Swift and Ritz due to a possible faulty engine part. Maruti Suzuki India has decided to inspect the 'connecting rod bolt' for 13,157 units of Swift Dzire, Swift and Ritz diesel cars with engines manufactured between November 13 and December 4, 2010, the company said in a statement.
Of the total recalls, 4,505 units will be of Swift Dzire, 6,841 units of Swift and 1,811 units of Ritz diesel cars. "If the connecting rod bolt is found defective, the company will replace the component free of cost," it added.

I just wanted to see if other RIers need to vent like I do... for those of you who don't know, Allan Shawn Feinstein made millions of dollars in direct mail - those irritating oversized postcards you get hawking products and other things Laudably, he's given millions back to charity. However he's clearly not doing so out of the goodness of his heart. He's an ego maniac who demands that every charitable act he does be acknlowledged by having buildings named after him. I'm sure he'd love to rename the entire state if he could. The straw that broke this camel's back is his latest self congratulating billboard campaign. Billboards all across the state proclaim the honorable theme "Service Before Self" Unfortuantely they feature Allan Shawn Feinstein himself, putting Self Before Service by using the campaign to feature himself creepily hugging kids Another classic Allan Shawn Feinstein move is his other billboards proclaiming "Blessed are those who help the hungry" Nice thought, no? So who said that? Jesus? Buddah? Mohammed? Apparently someone with the initials ASF according to the billboard. (Oh by the way - do you know who helps the hungry? ASF - that's who... so he's basically paying thousands of dollars to remind everyone that "Blessed is ME because I help the hungry" I'm sure in his mind he's rationalized his self promotion and naming of half the buildings in this state as somehow promoting the causes he gloms on to - but quite frankly, I find it sickening, and I think he sets the WORST example by teaching others to be charitable, NOT for the sake of being charitable - but only for one's own self promotion and self interest. I'm thinking of buying my own billboard just down the road from ASF's house: "Blessed are those who show some humility". Sorry for venting - any other RIers who have had just about enough of Allan Shawn Feinstein no matter HOW much money he gives to charity? The crazy thing is I KNOW I can't be the only one who feels this way, but no one in the state will say "boo" to this guy simply because he's got a ton of money to spend.
I never heard of Allan Shawn Feinstein but, it sounds like you're describing Bill Gates to me and I've been sick of him for decades.
Matthew 6:3. 'But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.' 'nuff said.
He's annoying and an egomanic. His voice make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. But the real AntiChrist is Jim Sokolove.
As far as I recall this work is not copyright and the original authors were very keen to have themselves quoted ...
I do not like his persona, but like what he does...him and his mother's name is all over the place higher education and all types of institutions..I don't know it is a ying and yang thing...I do think he could do it in a humbler fashion..
I should probably keep my mouth shut like everyone else does - but it just really rubs me the wrong way Charity should be for the sake of charity - not to satisfy an ego maniac's personae Those billboards were really just the last straw for me - does he really not see the irony of a self-promoting billboard proclaiming that one should put "Service Before Self"? He's got to be delusional if he can't see that himself. He should take his own advice and maybe name buildings and institutions after true heroes who just didn't happen to have a few million dollars of direct mail profits to spend on self-promotion.
I thought that at one time...but now i think it's a brand name sort of thing. Like when he puts his name on it...you can bet there is 100% benefit. The funny thing is the dude was way sleazy how he made his money... "who woulda thunk" Where would Providence be without all his schools???
Alan Shawn Feinstein Hey guys/gals: I understand that everyone has thier own opinion, has anyone investigated ASF and/or his Foundation? Has a objective, unbiased research ever been done? I'm from Hi, and I found some stuff I bought years ago. If I was taken, fine. But it is curious that he's still around if he's not legit. I was just wondering, love to hear from you. Aloha, DKT
What did you "buy" from him if you don't mind me asking. I don't think its so much a question of him being legit - more just the fact that he's a creepy egomaniac who wants to rename the state in his own honor. His other quirks include his strong belief that that "face" on Mars is really a face and the government is covering it up... which I think tells you more of what you need to know about this guy
You know, I completely ABHORED him when I lived in RI. His voice drove me nuts, too, and his constant ego stroking made me want to vomit. Yes, sure, philanthropy is good, but naming everything after yourself?? I won his scholarship in high school, and rejected it and its awarding, stating that it went against my principles (and my high school didn't like that too much), but yeah, I think he's a self-serving ass.
Damn! That's pretty good to turn down a scholarship (though I know he prints them out) - my wife got one for a small amount too and never cashed it - we still have it too - screwing up his checkbook balance! I saw him at a graduation where he was the keynote speaker and he told some bizarre story about having a dream which involved Mother Theresa (this was after she died and it was a not so subtle way of him comparing himself to her) Anyway he was rambling about something where she had said she wanted no images of her created and that she didn't want people worshiping her... so then he proceeds to explain how he bought a bunch of coins minted by some country in her honor, showing her image, and gave one to each of the graduates it was just bizarre but people clapped wildly probably because of his self serving bribes a few months ago I was invovled in a group discussion with young people and we were asking them about their heros and who they looked up to - one girl said Alan Shawn Feinstein - I was floored but that's exactly what he's hoping to achieve If I ever win the lottery I'm going to give each school and non-profit a heafty check to take his name off the building and name it after REAL heroes that we can look up to ...not someone who simply chose to "buy" adoration and admiriation the way other rich people "buy" Lambroginis - that's nothing to be proud of
Thanks for the replies Hey JoePatSix, I bought " collectibles " from Feinstein. I have some sports ( baseball, basketball ), space exploration, international money/stamps. No, I didn't buy the " Face on Mars " stuff. These were the low end stuff. Anyone else bought these? See ya. Aloha, Dan T
Apparently he also made big money in cheaply made minted coins and the like - probably not worth too much but kindof tough to prove that as a bonifide ripoff But on the naming thing, the guy is a certifiable egomaniacal wacko - and in today's Projo confirms it http://www.projo.com/news/content/projo_20060524_fein24.178b3daf.html
Thanks Hey JoeSixPat, Sorry I spelled your name wrong. Thanks for the ProJo link. My mentors were right about money. Money is not good or bad, it's a medium of ex- change. But money will magnify a person's character. I do hope that he did help the hungery. I hate to say it,but it looks like he doesn't have too much character. Well, Aloha for now. Dan T
Interestingly, I heard Alan Shawn himself on the radio this afternoon driving home on Dan Yorke... one guy did call him on the issue of his insistance on naming everything in the state after himself and his family, and made some really good points. Alan Shawn himself justified it by quoting the Bible, saying that the Bible says one should never donate anonymously so as to encourage others to do good works. This guy is clearly delusional.... isn't Pride one of the biggest sins? Apparently he hasn't looked into the Bible any further than finding what he wants to find. It was suggested that if he really wanted to spur fundraising he'd offer to "name" buildings after randomly selected people who responded to his pledge to match donations - he rejected that out of hand. The shocking thing was the number of people who called in outraged that anyone would question the depths of this guy's ego... it just seems like they will delude themselves just because he gave to a charity they like. IMO its no different from the Mafia giving money to the Church and other charities to buy forgiveness - while there is money going to a good cause they are all making a mockery of charity, and in this case, Alan Shawn is simply trying to buy good will and fame to fuel his deep and depraved ego.
How did he get his fortune? What kind of direct mail did he roll out? Somewhere I read a snippet about a newsletter. What kind of newsletter was this? I'm curious...

I thought I would do a little history of Know Your Meme because there isn't a good one out there. I had written one up before on the Know Your Meme website, but it got deleted.
In the Fall of 2007, Know Your Meme started one day in a moment.
At the time, Joanne Colan was the anchor of Rocketboom, I was selecting the content, writing the scripts and producing the show, Joe Bonacci was editing, Kenyatta Cheese was organizing company operations (the editing department in particular), Jamie Wilkinson was operating dev and Elspeth Rountree was administrative assistant. It was an awesome time because we all loved what we were doing and everyone was sincere.
Not that it matters, but for a bit of context, I was in complete control of any creative or business decision as I had hired everyone, Rocketboom was 100% my investment, 100% my LLC and there was no board. This would never change and I eventually formed and owned 100% of Know Your Meme, LLC which I sold to Cheezburger outright last year.
Anyway! One day in early August 2007, Kenyatta and I were deeply involved in discussing Rocketboom's video content. It was a formal meeting with just the two of us and we were discussing creative ideas for topics and writing. With the exception of Joanne at times, no one else at the company discussed production concepts. I wrote all the scripts at home myself without consulting with anyone at the office so whenever I could tap people for ideas, I would do it. Kenyatta was always my first go-to when looking for extra script ideas.
Having noticed that some of the "segments" I had been doing were working, I wanted to find some more segments to do inside of the Rocketboom show. A segment happens in the middle of a news episode where it suddenly breaks into a reoccurring theme that is predictable and formulaic, but then breaks out and back into the normal episode. From a writing standpoint, it's a crutch to lean on when time is running out and you need to deliver a script. From the audience perspective, it's a welcome return to something familiar. From a business standpoint, it's a great way to spin off a new show.
Since pretty much every other word out of our mouths those days was "meme", Kenyatta turned to me and blurted out "Know Your Meme!", and then proceeded to provide context for the history of "Know Your _[fill in the blank]____", especially with regards to World War II propaganda. For me, it seemed like it would be a perfect mechanism to explicate memes. As we were developing the idea further, Kenyatta also brought up the idea of the white lab coat and by this point, boom, I added it to my list of script segment ideas.
On September 4th, I surprised Kenyatta by telling him I had written a Know Your Meme segment into a Rocketboom episode. Joanne was wearing a white lab coat, I directed and shot, and Joe edited. At the time, Kenyatta was focused on shaping up the editing department and took over the edit from Joe at the end of the night, and then I directed it to completion.
Below is a section of the script I wrote from that day along with direction for a graphic intro, the first ever mention of "Know Your Meme":
Hello and good Tuesday September 4th, 2007. Im Joanne and this is Rocketboom. Its great to be back. Lets get right to the news.
[v/o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww in context of YouTube site, zooming in slowly on number of views, then http://www.youtube.com/browse?s=mp&t=a&c=0&l=&e=en_US&p=2 then for predecessors, show http://www.youtube.com/browse?s=mp&t=a&c=0&l=&e=en_US&p=1 ]
Miss Teen USA video on YouTube reaches 12million hits in one week, quickly working its way into the most viewed you tube videos of all time. As far as we know, this may be the quickest any video has shot up this high. Predecessors took many months to accomplish what Miss Teen USA has in just a few days.
Why has this video become so popular?
[Play "Know Your Meme" intro, just like "Word Play" intro to april 12th, 2007 [see 15sec in] use images of Numnuma, lolcats, ipod, tay zon day, xmas tree lights, dance 1:12sec in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSoVKUVOnfQ , ok go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv5zWaTEVkI , guitar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjA5faZF1A8 ]
[v/o Play video of miss teen in the middle of the video [show in context on the youtube site] then start up v/o after about 8 seconds]
This type of meme falls under the category of what we call "Natural Parody". Not only does this video represent a strong, melodramatic portrayal of the poor state of the US educational system,
this video is for real!
[resume video of Teen USA but this time on Dotsub]
and we all share the feeling that the reality of the melodrama portrayed here is quote, REALLY BIG
[play know your meme intro to end segment]
Taking things one step further,
[v/o http://www.memeorandum.com/070903/p16#a070903p16 ]
behind, George Bush was in Iraq yesterday on a surprise visit to convince troops that they not only needed to be there, but that we need to keep them there and find some more people to join them.
As I mentioned, for me, Know Your Meme was all about explicating memes and establishing a vocabulary. You can see that even in the first segment, there was an air of presumption that this was not actually the first segment, in the way it assumes the audience already knows the vocabulary and the scene.
Something else had occurred to me as well. Rocketboom needed a place to aggregate these explicated memes and our audience might contribute. While there were a number of other comprehensive sites that would collect the source videos for memes, there wasn't a good site out there for documenting the whys and wherefores. And a lot of memes were not video based. To me, this was always the most exciting aspect of Know Your Meme. Once you understand how content goes viral, by studying IRL case examples, that knowledge becomes powerful and valuable. So that night while the episode was being edited, I decided to install a Know Your Meme wiki onto rocketboom.com envisioning a 'wikipedia for memes', so to speak, but one that our audience at Rocketboom would understand enough to kick into gear. One that cited sources that Wikipedia would not consider authoritative. One that was completely and utterly free and open. I used to write on my blog and speak at conferences a lot about the power of collaborating with wikis. I then put up a few meme terms on the wiki and wrote up a few pages for starters and linked to the wiki from that day's episode on Rocketboom.
The segment felt right, the wiki got a bit of action and so I decided to write another one. On September 16th, I wrote a Leave Britney Spears Alone reaction video segment and Joe edited. Bonus cameo by Steve Garfield that day.

Steve? Steve are you there? Damit! [throws iphone again] And now ladies and gentlemen, Spiders, bots and lolcats, its time again for anther installment of…
[play know your meme intro]
Making its way onto the pop charts by Piggybacking [flash text below "PiggyBack Meme"] critique against Britney Spears MTV return performance,
[v/o leave britney alone video]
this gentleman has made his way into the #8 spot on YouTube for Most Discussed video of all time with over 1300 video responses and over 9 thousand comments. The video uses techniques of absurdity and sympathy in way that seem real enough to actually be absurd and sympathetic.
And then Christmas was coming on. Kenyatta and I had several meetings to discuss content for the upcoming Christmas holiday. I was *completely* exhausted because I had not had a single vacation for literally 3 full years so the plan was to pre-program two weeks of content and have everyone take a break at once. Since I knew in order to accomplish this I would need to write 10 scripts, I went right to my crutch when the idea dawned on me that the Know Your Meme segments are ready for the next step, to become full-blown episodes and that it would be relatively easy (and a lot of fun) to do and so that's what I decided I would do.
So Kenyatta spoke to Joanne to get her up to speed about it and on November 21st, Kenyatta informed the rest of the crew of what we were doing in order to seek input on which memes to cover because we knew everyone at the office would have big opinions on this. Ellie's first contribution to Know Your Meme suggested we look at other videos of people talking about the year in memes to get some ideas. Jamie sent us all a link to a playlist of videos he had been collecting on YouTube.
I took everyone's suggestions for which memes to cover, decided on the list, got Kenyatta's feedback and then started cracking on the writing.
Though we had just now asked Jamie and Ellie to name some memes they liked, at this point, Jamie and Ellie were still not involved or really aware of what was going on with the creative or the production for Rocketboom or Know Your Meme and were not a part of production meetings or discussions. Jamie and Ellie actually didn't even watch the episodes sometimes which was an outspoken point of contention for Kenyatta (and myself at times) but ultimately, I just saw it as a sign that we needed to make the show better.
Though some people might assume that Ellie and Jamie are also co-creators, or co-founders of Know Your Meme, and while both would go on to contribute significantly to Know Your Meme, by the time they entered the conversation, Know Your Meme had already established a name, a style, costumes and props, a theme, intro graphics, a wiki site, produced segments, a plan for ten episodes and a purchased domain name. Jamie and Ellie didn't call themselves creators or founders while they were at the company (I might of even thrown these terms around loosely at times without thinking much of it), it's just that the press calls them founders and creators for some reason. Kenyatta, Greg, Joe and Joanne didn't call themselves founders or creators either. But Kenyatta was in fact a co-creator of Know Your Meme as you can see due to his critical contributions. Without Kenyatta, there would be no Know Your Meme.
At the end of November, when it started to look like Joanne might be out sick during the critical shoot period, Kenyatta suggested Ellie and Jamie be on camera. I thought that was a good idea and suggested Kenyatta be on camera too. I was nagged to be on as well and even got my own embroidered lab coat but I've *never* wanted to be on camera [protip: There is one KYM episode I am in but no one outside of our group has discovered it yet]
As I mentioned, though Jamie and Ellie had not been involved in any way in the production process at Rocketboom before, it was an obviously good idea to try having them as on-camera "meme experts" or "scientists" to fill in for Joanne and everyone agreed to lend a hand, despite the crunch we were all under to get our other work done.
After I realized it would be impossible to get all of the scripts done alone, especially while continuing to write scripts for the daily show and acting as CEO, etc. etc., Kenyatta got Ellie and Jamie to pitch in with some script writing. This is the initial list of memes I decided on, and Kenyatta sent it out to the group to pick:
KnowYourMeme Ideas
RickRoll (include Tay Zonday and Family Guy versions)
Soulja Boy
Tay Zonday/Chocolate Rain
09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 (The Digg Revolt)
LOLCats (interview with Anil?)
Dramatic Chipmunk
I like turtles!
Walk It Out
Homemade Music Videos/Commercials (Daft Punk, Flagpole Sitta, iPod Touch)
Don't Tase Me Bro
General Groupings/Topics
Commercial Memes (Gorilla Drummer, etc)
Gross out/Shock Vids
Reaction Vids
I wrote the first full length script to help act as a guide for the others. The first ever episode of Know Your Meme then was about Tay Zonday (as a musician myself I was a big fan), starring Joanne:
[intro graphics]
[Joanne standing with clipboard?]
Ta Zonday.
[short graphic intro continue]
Otherwise known as Adam Nyere Bahner, Tay Zonday came into fame overnight on You-Tube with his own video hit single, Chocolate Rain.
[play some video of Chocolate Rain]
The question for us follows, why did this video hit count go insane?
[v/o tay on connan obrian]
After watching the audience reactions on National TV only to be followed by an abrupt finale – notice how they just turned off his piano as he was looking away and came out to stop him as if it were already over – one may still wonder,
Why? Why even experts at Encloypedia Dramatica have not considered this question and in our research around the internet, we were unable to find any theories as to WHY this video became popular. Lets have a look,
———transition edit with a wavy dream-like edit——-
[v/o scientists standing over Joanne while she is looking at the video, point to it and they all exchange ideas and opinions about the video. At first everyone stares at video for 10 seconds just watching (to p/u enough roll) / interchange this with asset from chocolate rain.]
Think back to the first time you experienced the Tay Zonday video. He had such a young, childish face and his voice was just so… low. Many of us stopped to ask, "Is that really that guy's voice? How could he go so low? Is it even physically possible?
And so we got sucked in.
[v/o all scientists hard at work, maybe all lined up in a row working at computers or maybe with clipboards, etc, lots of action and commotion or completely still at work on the computer]
We analyzed the video for authenticity, fidelity, uniformity, viscosity – we tested the lip to audio sync propensity at variable bit rates as well as searched for inconstancies in interpolation and interlacing.
The video is real. [passionately->] Yet it was the question – the investigation itself – which led so many to look more closely. And thats when, Bingo! – level two sinks in.
[v/o original vid]
As Tay Zonday looks away to take a breath, he suddenly takes himself out of the video at hand and puts himself into our shoes. It happens, in a way, teasing us even further into searching for the authenticity of the video because we know now that even HE is questioning his own authority symbolically.
[v/o scientists agreeing that its all good]
Supporting the environmental predisposition for natural memage, by the time we concluded that the video was authentic… and that the low voice in the recording was true… we were already hooked. Its a one chord, repetitious stuck-in-your-head sensation.
If it was an accident, we may never know, but after many follow up successes,
[v/o yt videos and dp commercial]
including more on YT as well as TV appearances and now for a new DP,
[checking off clip board]
This is no one hit wonder, this is a true talent that made its way naturally through the system, a true value of internet meme quality. Forever a part of the year 2007.
And on December 15th, I took everyone's submissions and began to revamp the complete lot of scripts. I sent them to Kenyatta and Joe that day to get started on the edits (Michael Clays was also editing).
Here are the scripts for the meme episodes. Currently, the info is all there and I wanted to send it over to you now before it got any later, but this is a terrible representation of the overall vision for each episode as well as the whole thing. So today/tonight I will draft up a complete, beggining-to-end, detailed script of everything, including directions for assets, etc for each script, order for episodes, etc. Im available to discuss anything anytime today so feel free to call, I can clarify anything you need to know in the meantime.
The next day I sent the updated notes and the episodes turned out to be a great success and everyone got a nice break.
By the end of the holiday, however, the wiki at http://knowyourmeme.com had turned into a real battlefield. I dreamed of a wiki that could remain open and had left the registration settings such that anyone could come in anonymously to create new meme entries and update old ones. I thought somehow removing the barrier to entry would work, like the Open Constitution Wiki, but it didn't. Every time I turned around, someone would deface the wiki just to have fun and mess it up. I constantly had to go in and revert content and then soon, I added a login feature. As you can imagine, that was a weak fence.
Many months later, this is where Jamie came in strong. Though Jamie began to appear in some more episodes, his best contribution IMO was eventually building out a new Know Your Meme wiki styled database from scratch. This was also the first project that Jamie was able to run with and develop significant amounts on his own without the need to have me direct. We continued to use my wiki for about a year until we finally released the new Know Your Meme site. Greg Leuch was also critical to the buildout. As the lead designer of the site, Greg should get a lot more credit than he has ever gotten in the press for his input and his ability to design in code.
As the site began to take shape on the backend, Chris Menning who also never gets enough credit was in charge of populating articles. I had hired Chris as my first assistant writer for Rocketboom and assigned him to help write entries for the database. We had a tumultuous relationship because I was so controlling and demanding over the writing but Chris endured, grew and grew and continues to do a great service to internet culture.
Establishing the right academic voice for the meme entries was crucial. Not too long ago there was some confusion over who wrote the "first database entries". Though Jamie's name is stamped on them, it's because he was the one who set up the database and thus was the first user that everything went under. Chris was actually the one that wrote the bulk of the first articles based on what we could salvage from the best entires we had written on the wiki, and anew. The voice of the articles was critical because this is what would guide others when creating their own articles. I insisted it be extra academic along the lines of the episodes while Chris injected many crucial style elements as well.
Over the next year, Kenyatta would slowly take over the production of the Know Your Meme show and the others would slowly begin to collaborate more on scripts. I still maintained control over the topics and would write many scripts, taking them all in to finalize, along with signing-off on each edit, but saw Kenyatta as my way out and on to running Magma. I'll never forget the day (over a year later) I announced to the team that I was handing over creative control of the Know Your Meme video production to Kenyatta. That meant Kenyatta would no longer need my sign-off on anything from ideas to publishing. This had never happened at Rocketboom before with any department (and hasn't happened again since).
Eventually, I decided I would name Kenyatta CEO of Know Your Meme but he abandoned it short of that time. Since I had mostly handed off Know Your Meme by the end of 2010, it left me with quite a load on my shoulders suddenly, along with Rocketboom. After fixing the operations and training a new team, so that it remained tuned for just a fraction of the cost, I was solicited by Cheezburger and sold last year.
Though I no longer participate much there, I still love Know Your Meme and I'm glad it's able to keep doing its thing. The current staff of KYM which I hired, organized and negotiated employment for at Cheezburger has my heart for pulling together and stepping up to the plate to help keep Know Your Meme alive and looking good.
When I was in the process of selling and trying to assess it's long term value, I wondered if it would one day fade. Of course Cheezburger could effect it in any way they want, but IMO, all things being equal, it will continue to remain an important resource for years to come, perhaps following a steady and enduring upward path, much like the incline seen over the past decade for the wonderful Urban Dictionary.
From everything I've learned, the best advice I can give to anyone at this point is simply to study how memes happen. Once you do, your voice will be become empowered.

Dynamo Dresden vs West Ham: Match Preview
West Ham continue their pre-season tour of Germany with a trip to the Glucksgas Stadoin for a clash with German second division side Dynamo Dresden.
Winston Reid, George McCartney, Mark Noble and Carlton Cole are likely to return to the starting XI following the convincing 3-0 against FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt on Wednesday.
Two goals from Play-off final hero Ricardo Vaz Te helped The Hammers to their first win in Germany.
Kevin Nolan could once again miss out after picking up an injury in the win over Colchester United.
Trialists Colin Kazim-Richards, Bilel Mohsni and Michael Lamey are likely to get more minutes and another chance to impress Sam Allardyce who is determined to bring in fresh faces to his squad.
Dresden have already faced English opposition this summer, having previously been involved in a 0-0 draw with current Premier League champions Manchester City.
Kick-off: 7.30pm

Nanofluid is a colloidal solution of nanosized solid particles in liquids. Nanofluids show anomalously high thermal conductivity in comparison to the base fluid, a fact that has drawn the interest of lots of research groups. Thermal conductivity of nanofluids depends on factors such as the nature of base fluid and nanoparticle, particle concentration, temperature of the fluid and size of the particles. Also, the nanofluids show significant change in properties such as viscosity and specific heat in comparison to the base fluid. Hence, a theoretical model becomes important in order to optimize the nanofluid dispersion (with respect to particle size, volume fraction, temperature, etc.) for its performance. As molecular dynamic simulation is computationally expensive, here the technique of Brownian dynamic simulation coupled with the Green Kubo model has been used in order to compute the thermal conductivity of nanofluids. The simulations were performed for different concentration ranging from 0.5 to 3 vol%, particle size ranging from 15 to 150 nm and temperature ranging from 290 to 320 K. The results were compared with the available experimental data, and they were found to be in close agreement. The model also brings to light important physical aspect like the role of Brownian motion in the thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids.

Superheroes, Japanese style. The word can be translated as "Task Force" or "Squadron." Usually come in teams, with [[ColorCodedCharacters color-keyed uniforms]] and a range of personalities/roles that usually follows some variation on the FiveManBand. Known for their [[SuperSentaiStance synchronized posing]]; also, a StandardPowerupPose is often used in many Sentai works during the TransformationSequence. A key concept is that the collective team are more important than the individual, and that more can be achieved by working together.
Although popular in {{anime}}, there have also been innumerable live action {{Sentai}} series in Japan, most notably ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', the series which was re-edited into ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' in the United States, and 2003's ''Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon''.
A very western form of Sentai is to feature five teenagers receiving powers, with a transformation, i.e. it doesn't have to involve color-coding, or full body suits. They may not even transform at all, but have powers that combine to make a greater whole.
Contrary to popular belief, "Sentai" '''ONLY''' denotes to shows that have a squad of nigh-identical, color-coded superheroes, not every transforming superhero that comes from Japan (the proper term for that would be HenshinHero, that belongs in the {{Tokusatsu}} genre).
Do ''not'' confuse with {{Hentai}}, please. [[RuleThirtyFour Even though there's definitely some unholy overlap somewhere.]]
[[folder: Anime and Manga]]
* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' is a hybrid Sentai[=/=]MagicalGirl show that started the MagicalGirlWarrior trope, which is basically a hybrid of these tropes.
* Even ''Manga/ShugoChara'' has done it with Kukai. ''Ore wa...GUARDIAN FIVE!'' That is definitely his CrowningMomentOfAwesome.
** Don't forget the Tamago Senshi!
* ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'' has Sentai elements as well -- note the individually colored hardsuits and the almost stereotyped set of personalities found among the Knight Sabers.
* ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman'' (known in America as ''Battle of the Planets'' or ''G-Force'') is a classic Sentai anime -- if not the TropeNamer, it's certainly the TropeMaker.
* ''Anime/{{Moldiver}}'' both parodies and pays tribute to classic Sentai (and MagicalGirl) elements .
* ''Manga/SaintSeiya'' is a classic anime mixing Sentai with mythological fantasy.
* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima:'' In an obvious parody of ''Franchise/SuperSentai''/''Franchise/PowerRangers'', the five girls from Negi's class with the lowest grades dub themselves the "Baka Rangers," complete with appropriate "hero names," like "Baka Red" and "Baka Pink". For clarification: Red = Asuna, Blue = Kaede, Yellow = Fei, Black = Yue, Pink = Makie.
** During the festival story arc in the manga, there is the "Maho(ra) Rangers" performing on a stage.
* ''Manga/KeroroGunsou'' does a few parodies of the Sentai genre. Episode 24 introduces Space Detective Kogoro, an explicit parody of Kenji Ooba in his role as the title character of the {{Toku}} series ''Space Sheriff Gavan''.
* Spoofed in ''Anime/{{Mai-HiME}}'', where Midori (the one who JumpedAtTheCall, thinking she's Franchise/SailorMoon) proposes teaming up into the "[=HiME=] Rangers" to fight the [[MonsterOfTheWeek monsters of the week]] more effectively. The two [=HiMEs=] who dismiss the idea as ridiculous ([[spoiler: Natsuki and Nao]]) are tied up and dragged to the meeting place anyway.
* ''VisualNovel/LimeIroSenkitan'', with its five-girl Lime unit, in five colours.
* ''Anime/{{Cosprayers}}'', an intentional parody of the genre with added {{Fanservice}}.
* ''Anime/RoninWarriors'' had Sentai on the sides of both the good guys and the bad guys.
* ''Manga/SchoolRumble'' briefly featured the all-female team ''[[ShowWithinAShow Hatenkou Robo Dojibiron]]'' in one episode, whose five pilots (and mecha) were very much a homage to ''Super Sentai''. For bonus points, the Dojibiron team's names were [[TheDanza nearly the same as the five principle voice actresses]], the only difference being the color-coded ThemeNaming. For the record, Imadori is a huge fan of them.
* ''[[ShowWithinAShow Chouken Sentai Blade Braver]]'' in ''Manga/BambooBlade''. Tama, the main girl in the show, considers herself an "ally of justice" like the Blade Bravers themselves, and in fact uses the motivation of fighting for right to join the kendo club. Later on, the show reveals that ''Braver'' is just one of many in the 31-year long "''Battle Hero''" series, making it an obvious LawyerFriendlyCameo of ''Franchise/SuperSentai''.
* The [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Ginyu Force]] of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' are a parody of this trope: there are five of them (instead of the [[FourIsDeath four]] which are traditional in villainous groups), and they constantly strike poses and throw group attacks. In fact, when recruiting new members for the team, Captain Ginyu is mostly concerned with their posing ability.
* ''Anime/MagicalPokaan'' has a singular, Sentai-based episode that becomes increasingly silly. Since the show only has [[FourTemperamentEnsemble four leading girls]], the fifth spot is filled by no one -- the green suit is an empty shell. On top of that, the team's CombiningMecha never forms correctly, with mishaps ranging from a missing component to five copies of the same component attempting to fuse together. The end of the episode is a stream of random gags that would take too long to explain here.
** There actually is a fifth ranger. She just happens to be invisible.
* The ''Manga/ExcelSaga'' manga is somewhere between a {{Deconstruction}} and [[TheParody Parody]] of this genre. The Municipal Team Daitenzin is Sentai group made up by the local government to fight the evil organization ACROSS, but it's staffed by a collection of disinterested or stupid employees who do more damage than they fix.
** The anime, meanwhile, throws out the serious elements and goes into full-blown parody with Municipal Team Daitenzin.
* ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays''' OVA ''Magical Heart Kokoro-chan'' has elements of this and MagicalGirl in it. In this particular instance, the team of powered heroines is working for low pay, using a ''vacuum cleaner'' as a weapon and has particularly kinky outfits for their battling.
* The episode "Super Sooga Squad" of the ''Animation/{{Pucca}}'' TV series is an AffectionateParody of Sentai series.
* Parodied in ''Manga/SpecialDutyCombatUnitShinesman.'' Their suit colors are the intentionally awful Red, Moss Green, Gray, Sepia, and Salmon Pink.
* ''Anime/TransformersSuperGodMasterforce'' had a group of Autobots who pretty much acted as a sentai team.
* An audio drama of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' of all things, set post-series and [[AnimatedActors thoroughly destroying the fourth wall]] has the cast having to re-tool the show for new episodes; Asuka has the pilots (Rei, herself, Shinji, Toji, and Kaworu) try being super sentai. [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible It's]]...[[StylisticSuck special]].
** It's the audio drama on the "Addition" soundtrack (4th one, with four of them on the cover). There are plenty of translations floating about, including one with graphics.
* ''Manga/TentaiSenshiSunred'', a parody of these types of shows.
* Parodied and deconstructed in ''Manga/FrankenFran'': Takeshi, a sprinter with a bone disorder, goes to Fran and receives surgery to rebuild his body. Unfortunately, several other sprinters received the same surgery -- when they ''all'' break the world record, he's discredited and disgraced. The others beat the crap out of him, so he gets more surgery and becomes a sentai hero named Sentinel. Then he becomes a KnightTemplar, beating people up for littering, until finally [[spoiler:his victim's family members gun him down. He receives one more surgery, leaving him monstrous... and in his new form he is attacked and killed by ''more'' sentai. The end of the chapter shows the city in a riot of LetsYouAndHimFight battles, while Fran is complaining that everyone wants superpowers but nobody wants to ''pay'' for them.]]
* Most shows about CombiningMecha use the sentai style to some extent -- in fact there's even a CombiningMecha anime called ''Chojin Sentai Balatack'', which includes the FiveManBand with color-coded outfits. About the only thing these sorts of shows don't use is the SuperSentaiStance, since typically the heroes rarely fight outside their vehicles or robots, but even so, the combined robot will usually do plenty of posing upon combining.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' episodes 212 and 213 parody this like there's no tomorrow.
* One of the earliest strips in ''Manga/GAGeijutsukaArtDesignClass'' has the five lead girls becoming the "Color Rangers". Keeping with the art theme, they're yellow, magenta, cyan and monochrome. Except for Tomokane, who's red, because every good Sentai team needs a red leader.
* Another ShowWithinAShow example is the Star Rangers in ''Manga/MutekiKanbanMusume''. Akihiko is a huge fan of them, to the point that when anyone so much as mentions the show, he starts to think he ''is'' Red Star. He seems equally convinced that the rest of the main cast are the other Star Rangers.
** The genre is also deconstructed: the Red Ranger is TheHero, he acts heroic, gets things done, and always gets a HundredPercentHeroismRating because he is at a TV show. Akihiko it the LoonyFan does exactly the same things the Red Ranger does, is a LordErrorProne in a, and he is the ButtMonkey because he is at RealLife.
-->'''Akihiko:''' ''[[ShaggyDogStory Today certainly did seem to be a waste of time]]. But so what? That little girl sad face now carries a smile. '' - Begins ThemeMusicPowerUp - ''Do your best Ohta Akihiko. Never lose Ohta Akihiko. For the sakes of everyones smiles, fight for tomorrow, Ohta Akihiko. ''
--> '''Kankuro:''' ''How are you Akihiko, are you okay? Can you walk on your own? ''
-->'''Akihiko:''' ''No. I dont think so. ''
--> At Akihikos house, he is watching Star Rangers, with his arm and head bandaged: '''Star Rangers narrator:''' ''After destroying the Evil Base, the Star Rangers put hope back on the young boys heart. Today, they fought for justice yet again. ''
-->'''Akihiko:''' Dramatically standing up adopting an AssKickingPose ''Dont forget to watch next week! ''
* The Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles, who already shared superficial similarities to Sentai, were turned into this outright for the Japanese OVA ''Mutant Turtles: Legend of the Super Mutants''--complete with the gigantic super-form "Turtle Saint".
* ''Manga/DuklyonClampSchoolDefenders'' is a parody of this.
* In the ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' manga, Kakeru seems determined to turn the student council into a proper "School Defense Force" and starts assigning colors. He claims Black for himself (because he thinks it would make him seem [[TheLancer cool and mysterious]]) and, after teasing Yuki about how his [[{{Bishonen}} pretty face]] should make him Pink, gives him Red for being student council president. [[{{Kawaiiko}} Kimi]] insists on being Pink and sticks [[SugarAndIceGirl Machi]] with Yellow (like Beat above, Kimi claims it's because Machi likes curry so much). [[TheComicallySerious Naohito]] just plain refuses to play along. And [[LargeHam Ayame]] is named the Commander immediately after Kakeru meets him, much to his delight.
* ''Angel Blade'', once the series added enough girls, ended up becoming...[[IncrediblyLamePun a Sentai Hentai]].
* ''Manga/{{Mitsudomoe}}'' has the ShowWithinAShow ''Honki Sentai Gachiranger''. As ''Mitsudomoe'' is wont to do, the show seems a little more sexually charged than usual for a Sunday morning TV show. Hitoha is a huge fan.
* Also spoofed in ''Anime/{{Yumeria}}:'' once all the girls are active in the dream world, they look at their individually-colored outfits and their attacks, and decide they need [[CallingYourAttacks attack names]] and a victory pose.
* ''Manga/ShamanKing'' has five [[ChineseVampire Jiang-Si]] in the service of Tao Yuan who are a direct parody of this, though they don't really have the FiveManBand dynamic; nor are they ColorCodedCharacters.
* ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'' is basically this genre adapted to the ''Digimon'' franchise, right down to the team size; they even have a FiveBadBand of PsychoRangers.
* ''Goldfish Warning'', Gyoupin Sentai, episode 34.
* ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' is another MagicalGirl sentai combination.
* The MagicalGirl franchise ''Anime/PrettyCure'' has several examples that could count as all-girl Sentais. The two that come closest are ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'' (just look at ''the title'') and ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure''.
* ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' has the Shuffle Alliance, which is inspired by the second and third Sentai teams, ''Series/JAKQDengekitai'' (playing card theme) and ''Series/BattleFeverJ'' (MultinationalTeam, though ''G'' has China in place of Kenya). The Alliance even has a Sentai backstory, stating that they've existed from ancient times to keep humanity from destroying itself with war.
* ''Manga/LevelE'' has a whole story arc of the anime version devoted to several kids who were pranked into becoming a Sentai team because... well, The Prince felt like it!
* ''Franchise/{{Jewelpet}} Kira Deco'' subverts this by stripping its titular (and very over-the-top) sentai team of their powers after they enter Jewel Land in episode 2. Each member does his/her own thing for the majority of the series instead of doing... sentai things.
[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''GreenLantern'' has picked up some Sentai traits with the "New Guardians" teams, comprised of members from seven color-coded and [[PersonalityPowers Personality-Powered]] Corps. None of these people are much for striking poses, but they have the [[BadassCreed shonen speeches]] down cold.
* ''ComicBook/{{Cazador}}'' parodies this with the Powerful Galactic Defenders: [=CosmoPatagonian Hare, CosmoArmadillo, CosmoCavy, and CosmoTatou=]. They had a fifth member, [[EverythingsBetterWithPlatypi CosmoPlatypus]], but he died in battle; the [[DumbMuscle title character]] was invited to replace him, but gave up because he couldn't [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull pronounce the animal's name to power up]] (that, and he didn't really want to join them to begin with). Their HumongousMecha looks like a humanoid rabbit.
[[folder: Literature]]
* {{Animorphs}} is about as close as you get without being a manga.
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* As the introduction says, both the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' series are the UrExample of this style.
** They have also spawned a host of homage series such as ''Series/SportRanger'', ''WebVideo/FranceFive'', and ''Series/KanpaiSenshiAfterV''.
* Saban, the company that translated ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' to ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', also tried its hand at translating another series, coming up with ''Series/{{Beetleborgs}}'', and created an original series, ''Series/TheMysticKnightsOfTirNaNog''. ''Beetleborgs'' was adapted from ''Series/JuukouBFighter''. They also made ''Series/VRTroopers'', although their source footage was three earlier ''Franchise/MetalHeroes'' shows, and those shows don't qualify for this trope as they only had one or two heroes.
* ''Series/{{Voicelugger}}'', which was the last production by Shotaro Ishinomori, the godfather of ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', released posthumously.
* TheAquabats from ''[[TheAquabatsSuperShow The Aquabats! Super Show!]]''.
* The Power Falcons from ''Series/KeyAndPeele''.
[[folder: Tabletop Games]]
* The ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' card game (also from Japan, not coincidentally), has the Inzektors, an archetype of Insect-Type, Dark-Attribute monsters that resemble Sentai heroes.
[[folder: Video Games]]
* The Axem Rangers from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' are another Sentai parody.
* Franchise/{{Disgaea}} has the Prism Rangers. Humorously, [[spoiler:[[JustShootHim Etna just shoots them]]]] during their TransformationSequence, meaning you don't even have to fight the whole group.
** [[LampshadeHanging "But there are only three of you. That's not even enough for a rainbow."]]
* The Handsome Men in ''{{killer7}}'' are an antagonist version.
* Parodied in ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'''s bonus chapter, "Another Day." After everyone's pins get stolen at a Tin Pin Slammer tournament, Shooter brings Neku and his friends to his "secret base" (really Ramen Don) to form the Tin Pin Rangers and save the day. [[HotBlooded Sho]][[TheHero oter]] calls Red for himself as team leader, [[IdiotHero Be]][[BigGuy at]] gets Yellow because of his love of curry, [[DeadpanSnarker Ne]][[TheLancer ku]] gets assigned Black n' Blue, much to his annoyance, and [[TheChick Shiki]] gets Green to match her skirt... but only because [[HoYay Jos]][[TheSmartGuy hua]] called dibs on Pink. [[SixthRanger Rhyme]] joins the team later on and becomes Black, leaving Neku with only Blue, [[spoiler: until she leads them all into a trap and reveals herself as the SixthRangerTraitor.]]
* The Dragoons of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon'', complete with elemental alliances and color coding.
* ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheSecondStory'': In a Private Action with Leon in Fun City, the "Scummy Rangers" show up in a deliberately over-the-top show where they dispatch evil monsters with the help of the kiddy audience.
* Culture Brain intended to bring this to the US under the guise of a superhero team by converting two of their ''HiryuNoKen'' games into one superhero-themed title on the NES, calling it ''FlyingWarriors''. They even had a fairly big marketing blitz to go with it, with a multi-issue comic book being published in GamePro. The game itself ended up being swiftly forgotten.
* Spoofed in ''GodHand'' with the Mad Midget Five: a squad of five characters in colour-coded outfits with high-pitched voices, none of whom even reach the main character's waist, prentending they're super heroes and pulling flashy moves. Add to that their high speed and agility, and you have [[ThatOneBoss one of the most annoying boss encounters in the whole game]].
** "We are... [[TeamShot the Mad Midget FIVE!"]] ''[[CrowningMomentOfFunny "...Douchebags!"]]''
* ''VideoGame/PokemonXDGaleOfDarkness'': [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Hexagon Brothers]], sound-off! 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! "...Wait who's missing? Whatever. We'll wait till he shows up."
* ''VideoGame/{{Digital Devil Saga}}'' can be seen as an [[DarkerAndEdgier M-rated]] version of this.
* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'' brings us Phoenix Ranger Featherman R. They're cliched, but not a parody. [[spoiler:And the heroes of Innocent Sin count, as they roleplayed as these heroes in their childhood, and you need all five masks to unlock all five ultimate Personas.]]
** Phoenix Ranger Featherman R makes a return in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}''. Each week you can catch the "next episode" bit on the television in the dorm's lounge.
** Featherman is Yuuta's favorite show in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}''. ''[[UpdatedRerelease P4 Golden]]'' allows you to buy Neo Featherman costumes that the heroes can wear while dungeon crawling. Party characters will even perform a SuperSentaiStance after wining a battle.
** After the events of The Answer in ''Persona 3'', Yukari decided to become an actress in Phoenix Ranger Featherman R. The result is the outfit and bow that she uses when she becomes playable in ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena''.
* For bosses with no lines or personalities. ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'''s Barrier Trio invokes a few Sentai tropes, most notably SuperSentaiStance.
* ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101'' takes this trope to the extreme.
* Mentioned/Parodied in ''TalesOfTheAbyss'' with the "Abyss Man" costumes for the seven playable characters ([[NewGamePlus if you've already beat the game once]]). Everyone gets a colour-coded costume (red, orange, blue, green, pink, black, and silver) with a hilarious description. "Abyss Man" is apparently a popular show in-universe, and the Emperor of Malkuth is a huge fan. Considering the two lines given that are evidently direct quotes from the show, it's a parody of the genre.
* ''VideoGame/ChromaSquad'' is a game about ''producing'' a Sentai show.
* Parodied in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' when you reach the top of the Tower of Zot, with the Magus Sisters.
[[folder: Web Original]]
* The Lightning Power Special Team, a group of [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience color-coded heroes]], are the premiere superheroes in the ''GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse''.
* Parodied in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE78xrjBdJk The Heavy Rangers]]'', where a standard Sentai team gets crushed to death by morbidly obese people, who end up inheriting their powers.
* ''WebVideo/{{Mighty Moshin Emo Rangers}}'' is what would happen if you took those "Teenagers with attitude" and replaced them with [[{{Emo}} "teenagers with an empty void of misery deep within"]].
[[folder: Western Animation]]
* American animators have made their own version with a twist: ''SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo'' features a Sentai-ish team of, well, robot monkeys, complete with different colors and personalities.
* ''CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'' carries much of this concept. Instead of transformations, they use powers from their elemental rings, and combine their powers to call Captain Planet.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' also makes reference to sentai with the team colors (Beast Boy: Green, Robin: Red, etc) which are displayed at the end of its upbeat TitleSequence, then of course there's all the team poses.
* Parodied in ''KimPossible'' with Team Go, consisting of Mego, Hego, Shego, and the Wego twins.
* Parodied in ''MegasXLR'' with the [[LawyerFriendlyCameo S]][[ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman -For]][[{{Voltron}} ce]], then again with the "Ultra Chicks", who blend Franchise/SuperSentai with Anime/SailorMoon.
* ''TransformersAnimated'' has hints of this with their [[FiveManBand Five Bot Band]] main robot cast. They're not much for team poses, but they have many other team-dynamics down pat.
* Parodied in ''LeagueOfSuperEvil'' with the Force Fighters V. [[labelnote:*]]The V is not Roman Numeral 5, [[ShapedLikeItself it's the letter V]][[/labelnote]]
* ''WesternAnimation/RoadRovers'' was an attempt to cash in on the sentai craze.
* The ''WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed'' are six [[TheyFightCrime crimefighters]] with MagicMeteor superpowers, ColorCodedForYourConvenience, including pink for TheChick.
* The ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' have some Sentai elements, with signature color-codes and weapons and appropriately contrasting/complementing personalities.
** [[Series/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 The 2012 cartoon]] makes the brothers fans of various [[ShowWithinAShow Shows Within The Show]] that parody different genres; one of which is a sentai/anime send-up called ''Super Robo Mecha Force Five''.
* ''Disney/BigHero6'' is pretty much a totally straightforward example of this trope, featuring a color-coded six person team, each with their own set of powers and even an (admittedly much smaller then usual) mecha.

This is a very mixed blessing: Pros: *) This has been done before with a (by modern standards) wimpy machine handling about 50 users. (I wish I could remember the URL where it was thoroughly documented, and how wimpy the machine was. Dual 300Mhz athlon at a guess.) *) There is not much to maintain on the clients, and although X is quite demanding, the machine has nothing else to do. *) You do not have to get everything working on day 1. You can provide new services on the appication server, and all the clients get it at once, without having to go arround the office and upgrade each machine. Cons: *) Compentent local crackers can elevate their priveledge to root on the server unless you pay extreme attention to security. *) Enabling lots of eye-candy will cost network traffic and cost CPU performance on the server.
