Line 112:
* [[Always Wanted to Say That]]: "Code of Honor:" Now it's time for...'''''[[Yars Revenge (Video Game)|YAR'S REVENGE!]]'''''
{{quote| "I have waited a quarter of a century for that joke to come naturally, and it was ''so'' worth it."}}
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: In-universe, wonders why in "Waltz" Dukat barely reacts to the hallucination of Damar showing up, considering that Damar both ''killed his daughter'' and is reponsible for driving Dukat so insane, he's the reason ''why'' he's hallucinating?!
* [[Anything butBut That]]: Part 2 of of the VOY premiere. "Now, where were we?"
{{quote| [cue banjo-playing hoedown]<br />
"No, no, '''no'''! It's wasn't ''that'' painful!"<br />
Line 135:
{{quote| 'My computer -- [[I Call It Vera|Ruby]] -- shutdown, and I noticed a wet spot under her processor.'}}
* [[The Backwards R]]: In "The Naked Now", after Wesley states he doesn't understand.
{{quote| '''Chuck''': Spaz! S-P-A-[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Ze_%28Cyrillic%29:Ze chr(28)Cyrillicchr(29)|3]]!}}
* [[Backstory of the Day]]: Spoofing Chakotay having differing interests.
* [[Badass Boast]]: Janeway's parting shot at the Borg ("Unimatrix Zero").
Line 240:
* [[Continuity Lock Out]]: In "The End of Time" review, he notes that one of the problems with the episode is the sheer volume of references to past episodes being thrown in, meaning that casual viewers would be completely lost to understand whats going on.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Gives DS9's "Defiant" props that a Maquis character from TNG's "Preemptive Strike", where Ro Laren joined the Maquis cause, was probably the same person that recruited Tom Riker into the Maquis.
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: Pointed out in "Basics".
* [[The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much]]: In "The Visitor", Jake looks to the Captain's Room for help in disproving his father's death. Bad idea.
{{quote| '''Archer:''' ''(raving)'' Me, too! [[Conspiracy Theorist|He was killed by the Vulcans!]] They crept out from under his bed and choked him to death with a heart attack!<br />
Line 285:
{{quote| '''Neelix''': But we have to make sure they '''match the carpet!'''<br />
'''Sfdebris''': A dozen ways to phrase that, and you had to go with ''that'' one. }}
* [[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)]]/[[Black Comedy Rape]]: When ''Enterprise''s "Unexpected" pulls these two tropes with the 'Trip Tucker is now pregnant' routine, this is probably the '''only''' time so far in which Chuck [[Berserk Button|loses his usual]] ''[[Berserk Button|sang froid]]''.
** Invoked in ''DS9'' after the characters cite the Eugenics War, and [[Continuity Snarl|gets the date wrong by two centuries]].
{{quote| '''Sisko''': Yes, the Admiral has a speech impediment. He [[Hand Wave|says "two" whenever he means "four."]]<br />
Line 298:
'''Picard''': Yeah, I figured that when they were [[Trash the Set|pulling a pine-tree off the Enterprise-D bridge]]. Still, if there's ''ever'' a time when your sole ability, smacking my ship into something else, is needed, I'll let you know! }}
** Not that Picard is any better, considering his love of callously violating the Prime Directive whilst driving a Dune-Buggy.
* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: [[In-Universe|His reaction]] to the ''[[Enterprise]]'' episode Unexpected, where Tucker became impregnated by an alien who told him that her species reproductive process was ''a game''. He's completely pissed off at the episode and Berman and Braga for [[Black Comedy Rape|playing this up as comedy]] because they seem to think [[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)]]/[[Double Standard Rape (Sci Fi)]].
* [[Dying Dream]]: Invoked as an alternative to the fan hypothesis that Picard never leaves the Nexus in ''[[Star Trek Generations (Film)|Star Trek Generations]]'', and all the remaining TNG films are his fantasies. It's pointed out that if you want to go down that route, it would actually make far more sense for the ending of ''Generations'' (and the subsequent three films) to be hallucinations induced by a mixture of sunstroke and concussion, which Picard experiences during the fifteen minutes it would actually take until Veridian III is obliterated by the explosion of its sun. Though, as he points out elsewhere, ''neither'' theory makes any real sense because it would mean the ''Enterprise''-D crew died in that film, making Worf's joining of the DS9 crew along with Troi and Barclay's ''Voyager'' appearances impossible.
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: His interpretation of the Voyager crew.
Line 350:
* [[Four Point Scale]]: Utterly averted. Rather than using an arbitrary rating system, he gives every episode a grade from 1-10 relative to all other episodes in the same series, and not in any other. He'll give a "10" to the best the series had to offer; due to the bell-curve rating system, there are only a few per series (when giving a "9", he'll often lament that, while it was very good, it just wasn't the best of the best). [[Broke the Rating Scale|He gives out one "0" per series]], always to the episode that is most damaging to the reputation of the franchise as a whole, not just the particular series, and deserves the [[Canon Dis Continuity]] treatment. (This actually ''did'' happen to "Threshold"). He does have opinions about the relative quality of each series to all the others, and they become obvious if you watch enough reviews: An ''Enterprise'' "5", for example, is clearly an inferior episode to a ''Deep Space Nine'' "5", as the Enterprise "5" is generic schlock, while the Deep Space Nine "5" may be a simple but enjoyable episode.
** Chuck himself admits he was indulging in this trope a bit with his early ''Deep Space Nine'' reviews, pegging "7" instead of "5" as an average (using the 7.5 he originally gave "Our Man Bashir" as a specific example, downgrading it to a "4" when he re-uploaded it). Without a doubt, his more recent DS9 reviews, such as "Indiscretion" and "Return to Grace", strongly avert this trope; he praises them profusely and offers no substantial criticism, but still only gives them a "5" and a "6" respectively because, as noted above, the bar for DS9 is set so high.
** For his non-''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' reviews, he gives descriptive recommendations instead of numerical ratings; he might rate a ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode as "Watchable" or "Must-See".
* [[Franchise Zombie]]: On ''Star Trek: Enterprise'' during the infamous "A Night In Sickbay," Chuck temporarily loses it and says "And yet it's still coming! It won't stop! How do you kill a Star Trek show that's already dead?!"
* [[Freudian Slippery Slope]]: "[[Catherine Tate|Catherine Tit--]] ''Tate!''" "Donna Nipple-- ''Noble''!" "Substantial shift in [[Overly Long Gag|boobies!]]--''dynamic.''"
Line 382:
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: His alt interpretation of Picard is that he is willing to put up with Wesley Crusher just because he wants Beverly ''that'' much.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: During the review for "Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy," a [[Fan Disservice]] scene involving The Doctor imagining that he's playing grab-ass with Janeway causes Chuck to shut down like HAL from ''<nowiki>~2001: A Space Odyssey~</nowiki>''. He has to reboot in the same manner as ''[[Robo Cop]]'' to resume the review.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!|Hey, Its Mark Sheppard!]]: [[Invoked Trope]] in his review of the ''[[Firefly]]'' episode "Shindig" when he notes that [[Mark Sheppard]] has appeared in pretty much every sci-fi series he reviews.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: [[Defied Trope]] in his review of ''[[Star Trek IV the Voyage Home (Film)|Star Trek IV the Voyage Home]]''. Sulu said he was born in [[San Francisco]], but Chuck said it was just too easy.
** In the [[Show Within a Show]] of "Author, Author," the Doctor has made his own holo-novel with silly characterizations loosely based off the crew, and most of them are dead-accurate to Chuck's [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] invoked for everyone, including Janeway as a ruthless, gun-polishing tyrant named Jenkins. Chuck says it's as if somebody tried to write a ''Voyager'' episode based only off his reviews.
Line 407:
** Joked about the tedious overabundance of "Lol-cats" you see posted on the internet... then did one a [[Sight Gag]] in his "Genesis" review.
** On his Mass Effect 2 review where he talks about Jennifer Hale losing a video game voice acting award to Tricia Helfer (who won for Starcraft II) and stating that having Tricia Helfer in a game does not make it better. A few minutes later the review shows a scene with EDI leading Chuck to state that he loves games featuring Tricia Helfer.
** The conspiracy nut in "[[Doctor Who (TV)/NS/Recap/S1 E1 Rose|Rose]]" who runs a Doctor-sighting website out of his suburban home.
{{quote| '''Chuck:''' Poor people. Having to put up with this ''hobby'' taking over-- [shouts at family] [[Get Out!]]! I '''told''' you , I am not "playing," '''[[Punctuated for Emphasis|I. AM. WORKING!]]''' Now '''get out'''! [comes back] Where was I?}}
** In "[[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S31 E01 The Eleventh Hour|The Eleventh Hour]]", a plea for tolerance.
{{quote| "Some of Jon Pertwee's best stories were action-adventure technical thrillers. Tom Baker's best stories were often gothic horrors. Doctor Who is large enough to have room for ''all'' of these. --except for the pig men, '''YOU GO TO HELL!!'''}}
** "The Doctor's not terribly happy that someone would burn his favorite planet... well, his favorite planet now that Gallifrey is gone, ever since he-- <small>[[Where I Was Born and Razed|he burned it.]]</small>"
Line 423:
{{quote| (as Picard) ''You know, number one, in your country, you send ships into space, but in Soviet Russia, ship sends YOU into space!... Hey, where are you all going?''<br />
''Well, looks like they're screwed; unable to muck with the tractor beam that can only pull things...it looks like that ship seeking boulder is going to take out the ''Enterprise'' and ''Tsiolkovsky'', which won't make them happy back in Soviet Russia. Wait, that's it! In Soviet Russia, tractor beam will PUSH!'' }}
* [[In the Future, Humans Will Be One Race]]: Or one culture, anyway. Chuck has taken ''TNG'' to task for its apparent belief that the ostensibly multicultural Federation thinks that Earth only follows Western conventions, namely weddings and family names.
* [[Informed Attribute]]: His irritation with Captain Okona being ladled with reverence by the ''Enterprise'''s crew for supposedly being a tough rebellious Han Solo-type rogue, when we see ''absolutely no evidence of this'', drives him to [[Unstoppable Rage]].
** And Neelix... well, just about any skill he claims to have, don't expect the plot to actually show him making good on it.
Line 443:
** "The Bonding" (TNG) comes off as hilarious when paired beside "The Menagerie" (TOS)
{{quote| '''Picard: Do you honestly believe he would be happy in this...''total fiction''?<br />
'''Captain Pike: ''([[Once forFor Yes, Twice For No|beeps "YES]]")<br />
'''Picard:''' Quiet! No one asked you! }}
* [[Is There a Doctor In The House?]]: Oh great. Immolated [[Red Shirt|goldshirts]]. Where's Crusher when you need her? (''ST: Insurrection'')
{{quote| "Quick, someone get them to the Doc--! ...oh, wait, I forgot. Our Doctor's running around the mountain [[Ironic Echo|to firm up her tits]]."}}
* [[It Is Pronounced Tro PAY]]: Pulaski's insistence on mispronouncing "Day-ta" as "Da-tuh". Chuck notes this is akin to calling the ship the ''USS Enter-prez-say''.
Line 457:
* [[Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better]]: Chuck feels this, especially since [[Plot Armor]] kicks in whenever it feels like on energy-based weapons. He mentions the TR-116 from the episode "Field of Fire," and says it was abandoned "because it actually worked."
* [[Large Ham]]: Points out the bizarreness of how Worf utters "Laaaasers!" in "The Outrageous Okona".
* [[Last -Second Word Swap]]: In Unexpected, Chuck barely comes out of his rant about the episode's insensitive treatment of what amounts to rape when T'Pol makes a joke about how it's really Tucker's fault.
{{quote| Chuck: "You're a complete cun . . . temptable person."}}
* [[Leaning On the Fourth Wall]]: Jokingly used in-universe. Sybok seems to be echoing [[Author Avatar|Director William Shatner's]] panicked thoughts during his [[Star Trek V the Final Frontier (Film)|movie premiere]].
Line 463:
** [[Patrick Stewart]] gets his first looks at the ''Star Trek XI'' Script: "[[Big No|No!]] WRONG! It Is [[Big Word Shout|WROOOONG!!]]"
** [[Star Trek Nemesis (Film)|The Viceroy]] kindly [[Audience Surrogate|speaks for the audience]]. "...This was a mistake. We're wasting time."
* [[Les Yay Shipping]]: In his review of the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode "Gridlock" he mentions that, as far as he's concerned, Nyssa and Tegan are the first homosexual couple in ''DW'' history. He considers them having sex for the first time (in [[Fanfic]]) equally as groundbreaking and important as the Face of Boe's final words to the Doctor.
* [[Let Us Never Speak of This Again]]: Said word for word after his exposition song at the beginning of the ''Star Trek: Generations'' review.
* [[Logic Bomb]]: Tried researching to see if Lieutenants are actually allowed to give orders to a Lt. Commander. But the question was so nonsensical, "[[Google]] justs breaks and starts showing pictures of porn." (''Insurrection'')
Line 628:
* [[Punctuated for Emphasis]]: "Code of Honor:" "Must...resist...urge...to...make sex joke in teaser!...urk...have whole review to make them!"
* [[Rant-Inducing Slight]]: Being exposed to Pulaski's [[Establishing Character Moment]] in "The Child," (namely, being a needling, condescending harpy who repeatedly throws casual robot slurs at Data) drives Chuck completely up the wall.
* [[Rape As Backstory]]: Wonders why Tasha Yar [[Angst? What Angst?|barely reacts]] to her abduction in "Code of Honor", which is completely at odds with the fact she spent most of her childhood dodging ''rape-gangs''.
* [[Really Dead Montage]]: Chuck, believing that Kirk deserved better than what happened to him in ''Generations'', gives him a fitting sendoff -- courtesy of [[Journey (Music)|Journey]].
** Following his (latest) death in "Scorpion", we see a montage of Harry Kim's numerous beatings/deaths/humiliations throughout the show as [[Enya]]'s "Only Time" plays. ...''Epic''.
Line 642:
** A comparatively mild one for Lwaxana Troi, but still catty. (TNG: "Haven") Best of all, it's kicked off by Lwaxana [[Be Careful What You Wish For|insisting that humans should say what they think.]]
{{quote| Well, if you insist...<br />
I've been with you for mere minutes and I'm already praying for your horrible death in a transporter accident to give you your just end, which I believe will result in a net increase in happiness on a universal level. I am convinced that 4 out of 5 doctors had you listed as the recommended treatment for curing joy, and that's only because the fifth one hanged himself! If I was [[Locked in A Room|trapped in a room]] with only you, Neelix and Okona and [[Leave Behind a Pistol|had only two bullets]], [[Driven to Suicide|I would shoot MYSELF]]. When the Bible says '[[As the Good Book Says...|Love all people]]', there's an asterisk and a footnote that says "<small>except Lwaxana Troi</small>." And speaking of Troy, if Helena had looked like ''you'', it would've been the face that launched a thousand ships '''back home!''' In short, your philosophy that people should only say what they're thinking is undermined by the fact that you are completely ''loathsome,'' marinated in arrogance and heavily seasoned with self-absorbtion, so that the unfiltered slurry that gurgles from your gob unceasingly is a pollutant that I would like to see stopped, either voluntarily, or- by my preference- '' '''plugging the source with a grenade.''' ''<br />
Thanks for asking. }}
* [[Reference Overdosed]]
Line 696:
** The "Off Button Hypospray" used when [[Instant Sedation]] is called for (or even uncalled for), and "the [[Healing Shiv|Medical Phaser]]" for when the OBH isn't sufficient or fatal enough for some hapless soul.
** In his Season One ''TNG'' reviews, he jokes that Picard keeps firing his Chief Engineers at the end of the episode since we rarely saw the same chief engineer twice until they settled on Geordi.
** Alluding to Seven and Chakotay's [[Last -Minute Hookup]] in "Endgame" by noting sarcastically that she clearly wants to hump his brains out some day.
** Neelix's cooking is entirely capable of destroying ''Voyager''... and alludes to the incident where Neelix almost destroyed the ship with '''Cheese'''.
** Picard's hatred of children, which are repeatedly referred to as his 'greatest nemesis'.
Line 719:
** And now, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg8KOFVLMAo this.]
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: He tries to do this in the "Unimatrix Zero" review after the sight of ''Neelix'' running Voyager's science station is followed up by the revelation that two rebel Borg drones have somehow commandeered a Borg Sphere, which is supposed to have a crew of several hundred, if not thousand drones.
* [[Screw Yourself]]: Two Sevens! "Clearly the only way to resolve this paradox is for the two of them to start making out! ..[[Girl -On -Girl Is Hot|C'mon, right now]]." ("VOY: Relativity")
* [[Serious Business]]: He reveals while reviewing "Real Life" that his twin sons were born premature, and overcame incredible odds to both be alive and healthy today. So he is quite upset at the episode's trivialization of that horrible situation, saying that people should go through it to build character (especially since the show forgot about it anyway).
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: When Dukat talks to Weyoun and calls him "anhedonic"<ref>Incapable of feeling pleasure or enjoyment</ref>. Chuck replies "Someone got a word-a-day calendar" then makes up this bit.
Line 735:
[pause...]<br />
Huh. Fairly astute there, Neelix. }}
* [[Shout -Out]]: Now with their [[SF Debris/Shout Out|own page]].
* [[Shown Their Work]]: His reviews of ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' are ''very'' well-researched.
** His review of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] discusses the franchise and Lauren Faust's past works.
Line 775:
{{quote| "Normally in the Opinionated Guides, we defend the assholes, douchebags, and general antagonists when, objectively speaking, their behavior is understandable given the collection of starry-eyed, clicky, sugar-coated dogmatic zealots that they wind up going up against. But there is no defending [Bruce Maddox]."}}
** Hell, he even gives Neelix his due. "You don't care a great deal about your crew and then introduce them to the specter of death at every opportunity!"
* [[Stealth Pun]]: In the "Body and Soul," he describes [[Mate or Die|pon farr]] as "the need to do the Vulcan salute without the ring finger." Which would look [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Shocker_:Shocker (hand_gesture)hand gesture)|a little something like this]].
* [[Stupid Evil]]: This is his main complaint about the [[Mirror Universe]] episodes of ''Enterprise;'' everyone's so busy backstabbing each other that it's a wonder anything gets ''done.''
* [[Take a Third Option]]: Neelix gives us the chestnut of "When the road before you splits into two, take the third path." Chuck responds, "The third path...would be back the way you came."
* [[Take That]]: A writer's room reenactment of Ronald D. Moore. ("Genesis")
{{quote| '''RDM:''' You know I'm a sucker for dark corridors and phones with cords on them. Hell, [[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|I could do a whole series on that!]]}}
** For Vulcans, a repressed memory can cause brain damage until the patient tries to lobotomize himself. "Kind of like what happens when you watch an [[Uwe Boll]] film."
** Fed up with the pomposity of first-season ''TNG'' in "The Neutral Zone," where the show tells us acquiring things is evil, he points out that it ''still'' costs a pretty penny to collect the show on DVD, and that even Gene Rodenberry himself has ripped people off in the past (he cites an incident where Gene wrote unused lyrics for the original ''Star Trek'' theme so he could get part of the credit, and thus part of the royalties). "And yet, what a perfect metaphor for 20th century Communism! Taking the credit for the people who do the actual work, all while spouting party doctrine!"
Line 809:
{{quote| "They've clearly gone out of their way with all this stuff to not have that [[The Sixties|sixties-era]] feel to it, instead be a timeless piece of-- [cue Bones, [[Outdated Outfit|with a full beard and wearing a giant medallion over his all-white Jedi robe]]] --'''the''' '''''hell'''''??!}}
** Aeryn Sun cranking up the Aurora Chair to eleven, leaving Crais screaming in agony. "Ouch," Chuck winces, "I really can't imagine anything worse."
{{quote| [cut to Chiana & Rygel [[Hot Skitty -On -Wailord Action|behind a steamed porthole, with Rygel's hand pressed against the glass]]]<br />
"'''''AAUUUGH--!!'''' Damn my imagination!" }}
** His response to a homeless bum settling a dispute over stolen bread... by [[Judgment of Solomon|breaking the bread in half]]. ("[[Doctor Who (TV)/NS/Recap/S3 E4 Daleks in Manhattan|Daleks in Manhattan]]")
{{quote| '''Chuck''': "That's ''[[Sarcasm Mode|brilliant]]'' justice, taking a page from Solomon there! Who are you? <br />
'''Bum #1''': "I'm starvin', Solomon!"<br />
Line 827:
** ''TOS'': "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" as covered by, of course, [[William Shatner]].
** ''Trek'' Movies: "[[Monk|It's A Jungle Out There]]" by [[Randy Newman]]. (♪ You better pay attention, cause this world we love so much [[Dropped a Bridge On Him|might - just - kill - yoooouuuu....]] ♪)
*** Though for ''[[Star Trek Nemesis (Film)|Nemesis]]'' he switched it with a [[Shout -Out]] to Patrick Stewart's speech in ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion|Oblivion]]'', complete with its theme music.
** ''[[Star Trek the Animated Series (Animation)|TAS]]'': "Layla" by Derek and the Dominos.
** ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'': "Good Lovin'", though a variation of the ''Doctor Who'' theme played during the Cyberman episodes from ''The Moonbase''. <!-- Good Lovin' was by an unknown artist, but originally by the Rascals -->
** ''[[Night of the Comet]]'': "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany.
** ''[[Sunshine (Film)|Sunshine]]'': "I Can See Clearly Now" by Jimmy Cliff
Line 878:
* [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life]]: Referenced in a review, regarding [[Unfortunate Implications]].
{{quote| "''Kes comes in to see Tuvok and, after a couple of minutes, Tuvok decides he'll try that plan of Harry's. There's a thing TV Tropes calls [[Unfortunate Implications]], and this seems to apply here: The only thing stopping the black guy and the Asian guy from beating each other up are white women.''"}}
** When he finally awarded the first ever 10 to a ''Voyager'' episode ("Life Line") the video caption noted to [[Shout -Out|"Alert TV Tropes!"]] in order to update [[8.8|the entry]] that would be affected by that score (and which, in light of said review, became obsolete and was subsequently deleted).
** His review of [[Flash Gordon (Film)|Flash Gordon]] references [[Trope Overdosed|a large number of tropes by name]], and the general approach to the review is in line with the feel of this website, all the way up to, and including... '''''[[Brian Blessed]]!'''''
* [[Twofer Token Minority]]: Parodied along with [[Executive Meddling]] in his review of "The Naked Now," where one (hypothetical) moronic executive thinks Geordi is wearing the visor because he's gay, making him gay, black, AND blind.
Line 924:
'''Chuck :''' So, of course... the director interpreted this to mean that everybody was black. }}
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|What Measure Is A Non Minbari]]: In "Meet John Sheridan" he chews out the Minbari for launching a genocidal war against humanity over a simple cultural misunderstanding, refusing to accept Humanity's unequivocal surrender and then having the gall to be ''[[Asshole Victim|offended]]'' that the sole human victory of the war occured when John Sheridan managed to actually blow up ''one'' of their ships.
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]/[[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: "Wait, so [[Let Me Get This Straight...]]: so Tom Paris not only flies the ship, the most important shuttle missions, is the field medic/assistant to the Doctor, has 24th century lock-picking ability... he's also a commando. Oh! And let's not forget he once designed an engine that goes to infinity. And this is the guy Starfleet doesn't want?"
* [[Why We Can't Have Nice Things]]: Classic television mistake: handing [[Slow Motion Drop|a highly-breakable cup]] to a [[Psychic Dreams for Everyone|psychic]]. "Thanks, demons from the beyond!"
** This also appears to be [[Star Wars the Clone Wars|Dooku's complaint when Sidious tells him to kill Asajj Ventress]].
Line 932:
{{quote| '''Chuck:''' [''Worf baritone''] "It was the 'hitting them' part that I was having trouble with."}}
** Chuck theorizes that the reason for this trope's existance is that Worf's commanding officers in ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' are such pantywaists that they keep hampering his efforts while giving the enemies time to prepare.
* [[X Days Since...]]: The poor safety record of an ''entire moon'' in ''Star Trek VI'' is mocked.
{{quote| "It's hard to imagine anyone would do something like this, without being deliberate gross negligence, like they have a sign up somewhere celebrating 428 days without a workplace apocalypse."}}
* [[X Meets Y]]: Okona is ''truly'' outrageous. Contagious. [[Jem|Okona's his name, no one else is the same.]]
{{quote| "He's some asshole in a puffy shirt, but everyone acts like he's equal parts Han Solo, James Bond, and Robin Hood -- when he's ''really'' equal parts Keanu Reeves, Pauly Shore, and Chris Kattan in ''[[A Night At the Roxbury]]''."}}
* [[You Can't Handle the Parody]]: Inserted into Dukat's rant in "Waltz."
* [[You Might Remember Me From]]: Brad Dourif, who "you might remember from ''Voyager'', where he was a killer. ...Or ''Babylon 5'' where he was a killer. ...Or ''[[The Lord of the Rings (Film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'' where [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs|he betrayed people and then killed them]]."
** Hey kids, it's [[Mark Sheppard]]! "Great chance to talk about this performer in a ''rare'' appearance '''[[Firefly (TV)|in]] [[Star Trek Voyager (TV)|a]] [[X Files|work of]] [[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|science]] [[Doctor Who (TV)|fiction!]]'''"
* [[You Monster!]]: Notes the sheer horror of Janeway's actions in "Tuvix", where she forcibly executes Tuvix, who literally goes from person to person begging to be allowed to live. Besides the Doctor, everyone simply stands there and ''does nothing''.
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: Calls Past!Carey out for hitting on Seven in "Relativity" despite the fact that we later learn he's got a wife and two kids.
