I think they heard her gasp of horror on the bridge. Oh, that was edited for television. What really elicited her gasp of horror was seeing the Fellatrix of Empathy putting on her kneepads. ---

There is only one correct answer, and yet no one has said it. What have you done with Spock’s brain? ---

I name the episode where an away team, including Worf, beams down to the surface of a planet where every square inch is destroyed except for a few acres of greenery and a house. They are invited in for tea. When prompted on his manners, Worf said curtly (and unconvincingly) “Good tea. Nice house.” ---

I’m not Star Trek fan at all, but I do remember one where the crew had to wear Nazi uniforms, and Spock complimented the Captain on how attractive his Gestapo uniform was. The look of horror and disdain the Captain gave him was priceless. mm ---

Have to go with “You may now deliver.” And “You must tell him that he is a good cat and a nice cat” said entirely without emotion. And “Perhaps you would be happier in a different job” And “Cellular peptide cake with mint frosting” I was also the exact right age to find The Naked Now incredibly funny when it was first aired. If I saw it today for the first time, it would be infantile. But it still cracks me up. The same when Jazdia & Worf first got together all the way through the wedding. (Though that has aged better, or I haven’t) ---

> [@Ethilrist](#): > > [Naked] time: > > Sulu: “I’ll rescue you, fair maiden!” > Uhura: “Sorry, neither.” And shortly after that, once Sulu has been subdued, Spock turns to one of the red shirts and says “Take D’Artagnan here to the sick bay.” Worf has too many to list. Comedy gold, that man is. But my favorite unintentionally funny scene is from _Miri_. The kids are all chanting “Bonk bonk on the head!” “Bonk bonk!” “Bonk bonk!” And Kirk fiercely shouts “No more bonk bonk!” I mean, come on. I don’t think more hilarious words ever escaped Shatner’s lips. ---

A couple of nominees here: 1. “By Any Other Name”: when Spock is preparing to put himself in a “coma” so he can be taken back to the Enterprise. But while still standing, he loses consciousness, and both Kirk and McCoy’s looks are priceless as they hurry to catch him before he falls. 2. “Catspaw”: Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are in the medieval dungeon, chained to a wall. After discussing something with Spock, Kirk turns to ask McCoy something. All the time, McCoy has been staring in horror at a skeleton chained next to him. Kirk starts to address him as “Bones”, but then stops and calls him “Doc”. ---

Another from catspaw. Three disembodied heads appear and issue a curse in rhyme. Kirk : Opinion, Mister Spock? Spock : Very bad poetry, Captain. Kirk : A more _useful_ opinion? ---

> [@Vevila](#): > > One of the funniest lines I remember was Worf, in an epsode from TNG, proclaiming prune juice “a warrior’s drink!” > > Having been forced to drink prune juice as a child, I must agree. 😃 Earlier this year, I was experiencing a temporary bout of, well…I needed a little help. And remembering the prune juice could help you along in that regard, I partook of the brown juice. Only I partook a little too much. Thought I’d never get out of the bathroom. Then I remembered that line, and amended my sig line. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/funniest-star-trek-moment/355926.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/funniest-star-trek-moment/355926.md?page=7)
