Power Rangers: The Death of Ernie

[MeleeSonic]

LOL.

[YankeeYapping]

How was Ernie deported? He didn't look foreign to me! LOL

[technologick1183]

I I had no idea that Ernie was dead in real life. A heart attack at his age.

[douvil]

What if Ryan Reynolds and Dan Aykroyd could have a son together? Find out at 0:05.

[Marxeen]

I cried when thuy died

[12onomicprotv1]

Richard Genelle died in December 30, 2008 he was a good actor in those days

[ChrisTheBest1992]

@12onomicprotv1 yeah,he died because of a heart attack,he was 47 when he passed away :(

may he rest in peace

[chaseyoung1800]

who died? wat?

[masterroshi2004]

yeah and also in real life the green ranger from lost galaxy and trakeena are married in real life too

[SpartanForgeWorld300]

That cop guy killed him. Then in the new seasons the cop guy disappears. I guess he got arrested by CSI or something. Lol.

[EQTrax]

Regardless of when he died, he was still turned into Juice, let's concentrate on the facts people!

[TBustah]

@EQTrax Was that pun intentional? XD

[MrOrionProductions]

May he rest in peace alongside thuy trang they were great actors

[ThePacmanClassic]

@MrOrionProductions Indeed, but yo...you forgot Machiko Soga she was the actress who played Rita Repulsa.

RIP Actor of Ernie (2008)

RIP Actor of Rita Repulsa (2006)

RIP Actor of 1st/Original Yellow Ranger (2001)

[Lee78072]

@ThePacmanClassic Ahh! Dont you mean Bandora???

In the Japanese Original, RIta was called Bandora!

[ThePacmanClassic]

@Lee78072 Correct. Bondora, I liked the Bandora song she did in Japanese all these years on because I found it wired & catchy lol. I don't know too much about the Japanese ones, theirs looks better as it's more detailed, more violence, more weirdness, can get away with more things & more complex story line.

Sad those 3 actors are gone, there may be more that died but I don't think so.

[Lee78072]

@ThePacmanClassic Yes! May the Power Protect them!

There is something good to say! The Japanese Actors (Original) of Red Turbo Ranger (Red Racer) and SPD Pink (Dekapink) are Married!

[ChrisTheBest1992]

@ThePacmanClassic can you mention me all the power ranger's actors that actually died...damn,its a whole lot,right?

U_U

[nightcrawler1234]

@ChrisTheBest1992

Thuy Trang---Trini 1st (and Best) yellow ranger

Bob Manahan---voice of zordon

Jack Banning----Prof Phenomenus

Machiko Soga----original Rita/Bandora/Mystic Mother

Peta Rutter----Udonna/White Mystic Ranger

[ChrisTheBest1992]

@nightcrawler1234 ok thanks

[byakusharingan25]

@nightcrawler1234 wow didn't know all that. sad

[marcusduck]

So Ernie left the PRT series 1 year before he died?

[JoshWhitaker87]

@marcusduck no, he died December 30 2008

[mroydogg]

he had to leave the show due to his smoking habits and weight. he didnt die until 2008

[StargateMunky]

@mroydogg but that's why they hired him!

[TheStanCave]

So wait... Was the actor fired or did he leave? 

[thecapone45]

Ok so what really happened? The comments confused mee

[LiquidPete2099]

It is embarrassing to die from being a hambeast, but there you have it.

[cornnugget]

He was killed by SBaHJ's token black friend?

[apocalypse123]

The actor that played Ernie died. I don't think 200 people is enough, so I thought I'd tell you as well, because I can't read.

[evanjacob]

he died in 2008

[apology89]

killed by his own juice?

[jaketheman091]

Wait, sorry...I'm afraid he is. He died of a heart attack in 2008. He was doing really well up till that point but I guess his heart was weak...Poor guy

[stopdropandroll]

i want ernie juice

[ashcarl116]

not just ernie but of course trini and 1st witch are also deceased

[Augiegrl12]

How you had him die is very very sick.

but RIP actor who played Ernie. Didn't know he died.

[TheBreezy703]

Wtf my name

[Nurais89]

@TheBreezy703 LOL.. haha .. RIP dude.. kidding.. tc..

[michelrpg]

Ernie actually died in rl? Aw man... I liked the guy D:

[sweetismami28]

@michelrpg how?

[booyakayaka619]

i was born i n 1997!!

[banditt18]

yea since when do people get off on making fun of some one who passed away grow the fuck up idiots

[wackottl]

@banditt18 I am making fun of the character's strange departure from the show before the man died. I respect his acting ability and do not mistake the character from the man.

[Drizzable]

they brought a character like him back in power rangers samurai

[wackottl]

@Drizzable I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. I knew Skull was back, but nothing more... Can't wait to see it.

[MHG10908]

lol Lt. Stone keeps getting screwed. FIrst he's a cop, then he gets fired and becomes a private detective, then bulk and skull leave, then he becomes a cop again with bulk and skull, then bulk and skull are turned into chimps and he goes all the way down to being in charge of the juice bar. What a life

[wackottl]

@MHG10908 all the more reason for him to snap! But seriously that juice bar was a step up for him, can you imagine how much money it makes? EVERYONE goes there!

[504pkknight08]

@wackottl I wonder if its still open. I mean since power rangers no longer takes place in Angel Grove there is probally a loss in revenue LOL!!!!!!!!!

[wackottl]

@504pkknight08 I like to think it was changed to Bulkmiers during forever red.

[504pkknight08]

@wackottl Thanks but I really think Tommy was the real boss cuz if you ever watch the episode after bulk answers the phone him and skull runs to tommy in a hurry and start groveling now what kind of owners does that even if Tommy can and will kick their ass LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

[227060]

@504pkknight08 lol, six teenagers stop going there cuts their revenue in half, but the giant monster attacks enable them to ride out a recession

[PlainTruth08]

Lol at foreign services recalling him. He was deported!

[wackottl]

@PlainTruth08 lol he was deported, I think you might be onto something there!

[PlainTruth08]

Lol at foreign services recalling him. He wad deported!

[Juts1012]

you know how much that pisses me off hes my great uncle who died we all loved very much we still do:( we love you uncle richie and we miss you

[wackottl]

@Juts1012 It probably doesn't piss you off nearly as much as it does me. Your great uncle was an actor, and if you can not separate the character from the man, you had no respect for him at all.

[seaweedbrain009]

@wackottl whyy noo respect ... the man died and his great niece/nephew(donnt know sorry) is pissed because their making fun of him... or something else sorry dont know why yer mad

[wackottl]

@seaweedbrain009 I am making fun of the character's strange departure from the show before the man died. I respect his acting ability and do not mistake the character from the man. I am pissed because anyone who tells me I am making fun of Richard can not separate him from his part, the worst thing an actor can have happen to him.

[seaweedbrain009]

@wackottl whyy noo respect ... the man died and his great niece/nephew(donnt know sorry) is pissed because their making fun of him... or something else sorry dont know why yer mad but im sorry for your loss Juts1012

[jordach545]

You know he actually died right?

[wackottl]

@jordach545 I see what you did there.

[Monstertexas70]

1965 to 1997? im confusing... He died on dec 30 2008?

[wackottl]

@Monstertexas70 The character died in 1997. This video was made a year before the actors death and has no relation.

[xRaineDropsx]

:(

How depressing.

[wackottl]

@xRaineDropsx death of the man was depressing, off screen death of the character is funny.

[yamialan1]

Poor guy, im going to miss him.

[SlinkyPie]

WOOOOOOO tommy is BAD. woo man i love him. gotta stalk him on youtube

[wackottl]

@SlinkyPie he comes to our convention in Orlando every year if you want to meet him.

[SlinkyPie]

@wackottl whhhatt??? thanks now to get my plane tickets FINALLY HE SHALL BE MINE! <3

[jhwink]

@wackottl When is that convention held? I would like to go to it.

[jamcarolina]

@wackottl i want 2 meet him where when what time how much

[rmart1192]

@wackottl IWANNA MEET HIM!! when is AMO this year?

[PinkPunkPower]

@wackottl when is it?

[PinkPunkPower]

@wackottl when is it? the convention i mean

[And502]

ernie was a great guy in PR r.i.p.

[Christina314]

I wish Justin died.

[wackottl]

@DavidCopsafeel What part of a video about a fictional character's death made before the actor died of unrelated reasons offends you sir?

Because I'm serous, your comment highly offends me. Are you suggesting that these two things are related?

Do you actually care about the fictional character to the point that I should not besmirch the idea that a man well over 300 pounds joined the military without even a note?

[DavidCopsafeel]

@wackottl Well sir, it's like this. You protest that this was made before the actor died therefore there was no insult intended, as the character and the actor are two diferent things.

That being said, now that the actor HAS died, this video is in very poor taste, and your excuse that it was made before then fails to stand up. He was a man, not a cartoon character.

A decent human being would take it down out of respect for his friends and relatives. I doubt they see any humour in it.

[wackottl]

@DavidCopsafeel no, he was a cartoon character. Ernie is not real, and this video is not about Richard. In no way are these two things related.

or should we stop watching starwars because alec guiness died?

[DavidCopsafeel]

@wackottl Really? Looked flesh & blood to me. This vid is still in very bad taste. You cannot defend it! As for not watching Star Wars, I stopped LONG ago, after one viewing, since I'm not a fan-boy-nerd-geek-loser and I actually have a life AND a girlfriend. As for Alec Guiness, his being gone does not affect the movies he made and has nothing to do with this. Oh.. wait a second... Were you planning on making an insulting,cheap, lame video about him too? Why not just leave the dead alone, ok?

[wackottl]

@DavidCopsafeel I'm sorry, he make look flesh and blood but he is not. Ernie is a fictional character that was played by an actor. He doesn't even have a last name and is as 2 dimensional as any cartoon character.

I bring up star wars because the character was killed and is played by an actor that has passed on. If you do not like that movie, let me try another. Should we stop enjoying thriller because Jackson is dead? That video does involve him coming back to life as an undead fiend.

[DavidCopsafeel]

@wackottl I'm afraid that your argument is flawed. You see, Michael Jackson was alive then, and he made the video himself. But if he hadn't made it, and instead somebody were to do a movie or video about him now that he's dead, and it involved him coming back to life as a zombie in ghoulish make up, that would be in very bad taste. And I'm sure his family and fans would be outraged if somebody did that.

I'm afraid that we must agree to disagree on this issue. Death just isn't a joke. IMO

[wackottl]

@wackottl and I have to ask you to please stop calling me names. I'm not sure how you can say you're not a nerd when you are having an internet argument over if a power rangers character is real or not.

Basically calling me names and making fun of my hobbies is also in bad taste. If you're going to ask me to take down the video, I can ask you to be nice.

[DavidCopsafeel]

@wackottl I see. Then you're saying you don't like my making insulting remarks to you, but consider it acceptable to make jokes about a dead actor? Look at it like this, at least you're still around to defend yourself.

I watched the rangers as a kid. How would that make me a nerd? And you're the one who wants to argue, sir.

And I'm not asking you to take the video down either. it's a free country. I'm just commenting on it. If you can't take anyone elses opinion, turn off the comments.

[MagicKnightUmi]

I didn't know the actor that played Ernie passed away. That's sad

[DavidCopsafeel]

@MagicKnightUmi Please read my comments visa ve the comment of the dolt who made this video. From your comment, you seem like a nice person with taste. The dolt who made this video wouldn't know anything about that, though.

[MagicKnightUmi]

@DavidCopsafeel Thanks for the info aww thanks for the nice person wiht taste comment =)

[DavidCopsafeel]

@MagicKnightUmi My pleasure.

[BackwardsRiddle]

Since when does Tommy skate board?

[PoLaRIV]

Yeah, I wasn't aware that he died either. Fuck sakes.

[tucker1983tt]

he was ill he dud not die

[robertcool160]

ernie died????????? NO!! i swear to God i didn't know he passed away... he will be remembered. :(

[jman19mwi]

Genelle died following a heart attack on December 30, 2008. He was 47 years old.

[gmcfosho]

maaaaan

[DeafCub2000]

Actually I found out that Erine (richard Genelle) left the show due to health problem. He died on Dec 30, 2008 that day before New Year Eve.

[Kevinlclayjr]

@DeafCub2000,

I remember Richard Genelle who played, Ernie the juice maker at the Angel Grove place where the MMPR alterego's hung out before and after battling Rita Repulsa's alien baddies. I didn't know that he died December 30, 2008 just two days before New Years Day on January 1, 2009. We, lost a Beetlejuice actor Glenn Sedix aka William G. Scott better known as Otho from the Tim Burton film starring, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Michael Keaton and Catherine O' Hara.

[QCDeViLMaN666QC]

When Ernie had to leave for South America to help build a bridge in the amazone.

[romodrummerjz]

he died in 2008 of a heart attack read his wiki page his real name is Richard Genelle

[Kevinlclayjr]

@romodrummerjz,

I am so sad man I thought Ernie aka Richard Genelle was so cool he loved, making the MMPR cast members laugh and he gave them one episode he had Steve Cardenas (Rocky) neglecting his responsibilities with the Pichinko machine instead of, homework and teaching his students. Glenn Shadix aka Willaim G. Scott also, played Oatho in Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice" film passed away this week at the age of 58 years old. R.I.P William G. Shadix.

[Kevinlclayjr]

@romodrummerjz,

Glenn Shadix aka William Glenn Shadix also, starred, with Michael Keaton in "Multiplicity" as a building inspector. He was truly a talented actor and humanitarian he made me laugh in Beetlejuice and in Multiplicity he was comical too. I didn't know he was in Tim Burton's "Planet Of The Apes" remake and "The Nightmare Before Christmas".

[h8ter9000]

wait wait wait 1965-1997? then how come we saw him in the power rangers wild force forever red episode?

[wackottl]

@h8ter9000 we didn't. Bulk and Scull owned their own store called Bulkmeier's

[ghillietutorials]

@h8ter9000 dude that was my fav episode

[adam765432]

How did he die?

[Darthbane1988]

Yo, the actor died...

[vivaSuburbia]

Is that Dan Ackroyd?

[DeafCub2000]

@vivaSuburbia no

[davinp]

Ernie left the show due to his health problems. Not longer after he died of a heart attack

[PowerRangerNationHD]

@Wackotti

You made this video some months before Richard Genelle really died almost as if knew it was going to happen.

Well this wouldn't be the first time. Somebody said Micheal Jackson was going to die two year's before it happen.

[wackottl]

@PowerRangerNationHD um... everyone dies dude. Wouldn't every death in every movie be a foreshadowing of the actors eventual demise?

[PowerRangerNationHD]

@wackottl

Dude you just missed the point. I said it's funny how you said Richard Genelle was going to some months (note I said some month's) before he really died. But if you would of had this video year's before he really died then nobody would be hatting on you.

[ATLPLAYER19]

@PowerRangerNationHD I predict... we are all gonna die

[Zipperman2000]

@DragonZord90 Without Ernie the show is nothing? REALLY??

[Rokbox17]

PAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH! Thats messed up lol

[animefan141001]

@wackottl u suck of making video bitch sexy fucker black nigger XDD

[MzsHePpHeRd]

I read on a certain website that Ernie died either on Christmas, or before Christmas of 2008. If I'm wrong, someone please tell the correct date that he passed.

[DeafCub2000]

@MzsHePpHeRd He died after Christmas day in Dec 2008

[ajw60189]

The guy who played Ernie really did die. His name was Richard Genelle and he died in 2008 of a heart attack

[DjTrizz]

@DragonZord90 it'll stop when the Japanese stop :p

[hilarioph]

I am sorry to say this that Richard Genelle

who play Emie on the Power rangers season 1.

Pass away on December 30 2008. He die

on a heart attack :-(

[PrinceTrexus]

lmao killed and turned into juice!! lol

[GunsolKyle]

The actor who played Ernie passed away in 2008 from a heart attack, it's a shame he was amazing character,

[wackottl]

@DragonZord90 I liked the show after turbo, I was a big fan of dinothunder and spd. it did have a bit of a dull spot in the middle though.

[Lufisyth]

Doesnt matter, this was the beginning of Power Rangers becoming terrible. Turbo was the jump ofthe shark.

[sti300zx]

I have family members that know Ernie actually. He died a year or two ago from a stroke. (he was the one that gave me the original PR's signatures on a poster! RIP)

[wackottl]

@sti300zx I'm afraid you're thinking of the actor that played the part. Ernie is a character on the show and this was made a year before his passing.

[DeafCub2000]

@sti300zx not stroke, he had heart attack.

[199019852007]

laughing like mad after watching this video

[robloxroblox]

Lol

[powerrangerwolflord]

he must of made a lot of juice lol !

[kris198921]

the guy that played zordon passed away so did thuy trang, ernie, and rito

[PaulosTheKing]

This video proves *not the actors* but people who make these videos have .... too much ... time on their hands... wow.

[wackottl]

@PaulosTheKing this didn't take very long.

[sasukerocksify]

fake he didnt die

[wackottl]

@sasukerocksify fail comment. never said this was true.

[sasukerocksify]

@wackottl hey you dont really need to respond on my stupid little borhter's comments,he typed that

[sasukerocksify]

@wackottl hey you dont have to respond on the messages my little brother typed >:D

[mjs3888]

Is it wrong that I laughed?

[im2fast4u06]

fuckin hilarious!

[seiya209]

is he death?

[Surebro0]

so the actor died

[felipinpin20]

Enserio si fallecio.

[1CrAzY20]

heart attack = ataque al corazon

[nuevo888]

como murio este actor?

[1CrAzY20]

heart attack = ataque al corazon

[SuperTurbo13]

A more shocking part is the actual actor for ernie is dead

[bigtones05]

"Foreign service unit" my ass. Ernie was way too big to be in any armed force.

[50159bw]

dude that guy looks alot like jeff hardy

[DJKID777]

damn he lost weight he was fat

[Aizen1122]

Maybe Jerome is a monster in disguise but who never wanted to show his monster side. Too bad the power rangers and everyone in Ernie's Juice bar don't know they are drinking Ernie smoothies.

[Deafjerzy]

he not die

[SquirrelXing]

not when this show was being made, but he really did die about 2 years ago.

[CoHScrapper]

For those who are wondering Richard Genelle (Ernie) really DID pass away on 30 December 2008, (heart attack).

R.I.P :''(

Left after Power Rangers Zeo due to weight & health problems... His last appearance in Power Rangers was at the very end of Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie.

[elijahmackenzie]

Actually he also made an Appearance in Power Rangers: In Space

[AngemonRulez]

@elijahmackenzie no...he didn't?

[azizaziz]

i didn't know that he died

[tigghat]

lol ilove u

[lifelegend]

lol. they couldn't come up with a good excuse for why he was gone.

[DigidestinedofTrust]

Well actually he left himself in real life, because he wanted to work on cutting down on his smoking and bad eating habits so that's why he left suddenly. He died last year actually from a heart attack. Very unfortunate.

[shaynapulley]

@DigidestinedofTrust I'm not surprised it was a heart attack, he looked very unhealthy to begin with.

[THUYTRANGFOREVER1]

uhh WTF!
