** Something that makes it even funnier- some years later, Brent Spiner got to meet Stephen Hawking again. Instead of a greeting, Hawking at once demanded, "Where's my money?"

* ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' wasn't especially huge on the humour, but this troper always finds great amusement in Barclay's high speed rambling in Realm of Fear (as Deanna tries to keep up with him). For some reason his exclaiming "I don't get to see this part of the ship a lot. LOOK! There's stellar cartography, I thought that was deck eleven!" gets me every time.... You had to see it.

* For being such a serious episode, "Half a Life" has perhaps the funniest moment of any Lwaxana episode. Troi makes the opening log entry, short and simple, in a voice full of trepidation: "My mother is on board." Then we cut to Picard timidly poking his head into a hallway to make sure the coast is clear.

* Data (attempting to laugh at Geordi's joke) breaking into a creepy and highly inappropriate forced giggle that goes on far too long than it should, before going back to his duties as if nothing happened.

* At the end of ''Ship In A Bottle,'' Picard makes a comment about how, for all they know, the Enterprise-D is [[Leaning On the Fourth Wall|a simulation in a box on someone's table.]] This prompts Reg Barclay to look around nervously and say, "Computer? End Program."

* Most of ''The Offspring'' was made of Heartwarming, but when she spends time in Ten-Forward learning about human interaction, we get her attempts to understand things like hand-holding and kissing. The funny comes when Riker (who's unaware of her nature) enters, and she tries to test...by hauling Riker over the bar and planting a kiss on him, just in time for [[Robo-Family|her father Data]] to come in.
