Star Trek/Funny: Difference between revisions

* Scotty gets most of the funniest lines in the film (it helps that he's played by comedian [[Shaun of the Dead|Simon]] [[Hot Fuzz|Pegg]]): "Can I have a towel?" "Do they still have sandwiches?" [[Mood Whiplash|"I like this ship! It's exciting!"]], "engineering parlance", etc.

** The scene where Spock is attempting to interrogate Kirk and Scotty, who have arrived on the ship mid-warp.

'''Scotty''': ... I'd rather not take sides. }}

*** The towel comment was [[Throw It In|an ad-lib]] that the cast thought was so funny, it took all of Zachary Quinto's willpower to not [[Corpsing|corpse]] after everyone else had. The final scene that made it in the film has his mouth just twitch enough to pass.

** "The notion of transwarp beaming is like trying to hit a bullet, with a smaller bullet, whilst wearing a blindfold, riding a horse!"

* Kirk's allergic reaction to the vaccine injection.

'''Kirk''': What? *looks at his hands* [hilariously] Eeeh! *raises hands; both are swollen* ''What the hell is this''? }}

[later]

'''Kirk''':"Owww!" [[Running Gag|Lather, rinse, repeat]]. "Stop it!" }}

* And let's not forget Kirk actually losing the hot lady, in this case {{spoiler|Uhura}} to Spock!

* Look in the background when Scotty is first introduced. ''He has a pet Tribble in a cage.'' No wonder he's so hungry!

* Bones as aviaphobic seatmate:

'''Bones:''' Don't pander to ''me'', kid! One tiny crack in the hull, and our blood ''boils in thirteen seconds!'' Solar flare might crop up, cook us in our seats! And wait till you're sitting pretty with a case of ''Andorian shingles!'' See if you're still so relaxed when your eyeballs are bleeding! Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence! }}

* "How old are you?" "Sewenteen, sir!" ...aaaaaand cue Bones' exasperated sigh and "Oh good. He's seventeen!"

* "Is the parking brake on?"

* Kirk and his apple during the Kobayashi Maru scene. When he blatantly cheats, he does it with ''style''.

* After meeting Spock for the first time:

'''Bones:''' I don't know, but I like 'im. }}

* The bloopers on youtube, especially the end with Pine and Quinto doing a scene with outrageous accents.

* The [[Oh Crap]] look Kirk has when he hears Sulu's training is in fencing. Even if it turned out not to be sports kind.

 

 

* [[Diane Duane/Funny|Expanded Universe novels by Diane Duane]]

 

* The [[Expanded Universe]] novel ''Before Dishonor'' as a whole, but anything to do with [[Pluto Is Expendable|Pluto in general]].

* The entirety of the ''[[Star Trek]]'' novel "How Much for Just the Planet?" Highlights include: tossing Klingons down laundry chutes, an insane computer with a milkshake fixation, the barbarian tribe that captures Sulu and McCoy and promptly breaks out into a Broadway musical number, the Klingon film noir fan, and last but not least, the Klingon vs. Starfleet pie fight.

Blueberry it was. }}

** McCoy explaining why he, Sulu, and two Klingons won't [[Kneel Before Zod]] (the evil queen)?:

** McCoy demands to know why Sulu woke ''him'' up to go on an adventure at dawn. He asks why he didn't go to Chekov.

** The Scotty VS Klingon golf match. Chekov and another Klingon are caddies. It all culminates in {{spoiler|the lot of them being fired at, and Chekov and one Klingon rushing into battle with golf clubs while Scotty and his opponent grumble good-naturedly about their younger friends and follow.}}

** Through a series of complicated events, Kirk ends up locked in a closet in a cat burglar outfit which is much too small for him. He breaks out of the closet, tearing the outfit in the process. He takes the destroyed costume off, but isn't too happy about the prospect of running around a hotel in undershirt and shorts. The only other article of clothing in the closet is a dress. However, it's also torn, which brings us to this line:

*** So ''apparently,'' if the dress hadn't been torn, Kirk would have seriously considered wearing it around the hotel.

* Ibid. for the TNG novel ''Q-in-Law,'' in which Q and Lwaxana Troi meet. Just the tagline should give you some idea: "Two of the most powerful forces in the galaxy are about to collide..."

** Q learns that he made a [[What an Idiot!|big mistake]]"

'''[[Deadpan Snarker|Worf:]]''' [[Pass the Popcorn|Sell tickets]]. }}

** Not to mention the B-plot of Wesley's adventures with a [[Dojikko]] "servant" he received as a gift. If [[Amusing Injuries]] can happen in a non-cartoon setting, this qualified.

* Peter David's New Frontier novels typically have [[Crowning Moments Of Funny]] alternating with [[Crowning Moments Of Awesome]]. Among them:

'''Calhoun:''' Granted, and I'll be following you. }}

In other words, 17822 was the year Ferenginar discovered time travel. }}
