In the same show, an anime character's son is kidnapped and asks the Rangers to help him out. Sentai's ALWAYS had stupid shit regardless if the tone from my experience. Gekiranger had Jan using a cleaning rag to win a fight for example

And those are shows that balanced their tone much better than Go-Onger, I thought. There's a rise and fall to the action in the story. I'm not saying every show needs to be one thing or the other all the time but when Go-Onger's comedy wasn't clever or entertaining (to me), I had very little to fall back on. With Abaranger, the show's comedy was fun, I enjoyed the cast, and that made the darker aspects of the show that much more enjoyable, it was easier to feel empathy for the characters. This is one of the reasons I enjoy Kamen Rider Den-O a lot.

Also, there are martial arts out there that advocate for the use of ingenuity when one is suddenly put into danger. Jan using the rags to fight isn't as weird as you might think. Like, there are instructors out there who will teach you how to defend yourself using something like a towel or a scarf.
