MMPR[]
Bulk and Skull first met in the maternity ward at the hospital where they were born. Every time Bulk cried, Skull cried too - and because of the noise they were isolated for all the other babies. The two have been constant companions ever since.[1]
Members[]
Although the duo primarily consists of the two, there have been multiple other people who shared the same comedic relief status alongside them throughout the franchise.
Legacy[]
Bulk and Skull are the first comedic relief duo in the franchise and have inspired a long-lasting legacy akin to the Power Rangers themselves. As such, there have been other comedic duos inspired by them.

Notes[]
- The only episode that didn't feature Bulk and Skull in Power Rangers Zeo, "The Power of Gold", was also the only episode of that season to feature none of the supporting cast besides Alpha 5 and Zordon. This is due to being too focused on introducing the first Gold Ranger to contain a B-Plot.
- In Space had them appearing in only 13 of its 43 episodes, making the other 30 the most they've been absent.
- The 30th anniversary Special Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always only has a billboard photo of the duo, but they do not appear.
