Episode after episode you manage to outdo yourself. Every new episode is an improvement over the previous one. I keep expecting you to not make the next episode better, yet every time you prove me wrong. This series is definitely one of my top favourites on Newgrounds - heck, on the Internet! It's just over way too soon after waiting for so long ...

The best of the Parody Rangers episodes without a doubt!

The song is "Ievan Polkka", also known as "Leva's Polka" due to a spelling error. It's a Finnish folk song made popular by the group Loituma. Recently it has gained popularity online due to a clip of the song (the clip featured in this video) being set to a video loop of an anime girl spinning a leek - this clip is known as Leekspin.
Now, the interesting thing is that while the song is in Finnish, the middle part is improvised on the spot by one of the singers and is essentially gibberish - this part of the song is the part featured in the Leekspin clip and in this video. Due to Finnish sounding like gibberish to most people who don't understand it, many people mistakenly believe this middle part to be Finnish as well.
Which brings me at least to the review: The lyrics featured in this video are indeed correct, but they match the whole song, not the part featured here. The lyrics for this middle part can obviously not be found as the part is improvised at each performance. Not only are the lyrics wrongly applied to the song here, but the overall quality of this video is low, even for an animutation. I encourage the author to put more effort into his work in the future.

By far the best episode to date! I love the story-telling, but I wouldn't mind a few more action sequences. Other than that, it's perfect. Keep up the fantastic work!

... Which can sadly not be said about many things these days. But it can much certainly be said about this. As I can't help but compare these games to the awsome and terrribly addictive version in Super Mario 64 DS, I must say you have gotten very close to the great physics of that version. Almost 100%, I'd say. It's still a better feeling to use a stylus to send the Solarsaurs/shells/whatever off, but that's no fair comparison, so I'm gonna give this a well-deserved 10-5.

I've always loved Pablo Francisco's stand-up, especially his previews guy voice. The animation was great and fit perfectly with the audio. My only small problem was that the subtitles weren't always correct.
Examples:
It's "previews guy" (as in movie previews/trailers), not "previous guy".
It's "those are my/his lines", not "don't say my/his lines".
It's "you could strangle them with a cordless phone", not "he will go straight over the cordless phone".
There are others, but these are the most prominent examples. It's nothing big, but it does ruin the punchline sometimes, particularly in the third example.
Otherwise great. Keep up the good work!

Valentine's Day's spirit compressed into a one minute movie. And I really like Yann Tiersen's music.
