Line 22:
'''Hawking:''' Wrong again, Albert. * reveals that he has the winning hand* }}
** 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: theThe 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.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxX060J4KgE#t=07m11s "Well done, Mister Broccoli."]
* Barclay meets Christina, Miles O'Brien's Tarantula.
** Bonus points for Barclay being played by Dwight Schultz aka [[The A-Team (TV)|"Howlin' Mad" Murdock]]!
* "Take my Worf, please."
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1Y5KsEptTY "Sir, I protest! I am NOT a merry man!"] (It's aided by Worf's ridiculous costume.)
Line 62:
** Data, after Picard leaves, tries to lean against something...and topples over. The man sitting in the chair looking over his shoulder with a look of ''total bewilderment'' cements it.
*** Especially because that man is [[The Stoic|Worf.]]
* Data and [[Star Trek: theThe Original Series|Scotty]] are in Ten Forward, looking for a drink:
{{quote| '''Scotty''': What is this? ''(holds up a glass)''<br />
'''Data''': It is... ''(sniffs the drink)'' It is... ''(sniffs it again)'' It is green. }}
Line 145:
* 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.
* A blooper from the first season has Brent Spiner, in a flawless imitation of Jimmy Stewart, read the dedication plaque of the ''USS Stargazer'' and comment, "[[ItsIt's a Wonderful Life|For God's sake, Mary! They built this thing in Bedford Falls!]]"
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF2StmlnmN4 Picard pretending to be madly in love with Lwaxana, quickly moving from reciting Shakespeare to insane jealousy.]
{{quote| '''Lwaxana:''' And you can't keep killing all my lovers, now that simply has to stop.<br />
Line 199:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1J7702SHxA Klingon opera.]
* Deanna's advice while under the (negative) influence of another empath in "Man of the People":
{{quote| '''Janeway''' <ref>no, not [[Star Trek: Voyager|that one]]</ref>: Well, yesterday I was running routine diagnostics on the sensor pallets. They checked out, but Lieutenant Pinder questioned me because I'd allowed a point oh two three variance. That's well within specifications. He goes out of his way to criticise me.<br />
'''Troi:''' Do you know of any reason why he might do that?<br />
'''Janeway:''' No, that's why I'm here.<br />
Line 210:
{{quote| '''Picard:''' I'm sorry, this is becoming a [[Patrick Stewart Speech|speech]].<br />
'''Troi:''' (trying to hide a smirk) You're the captain, sir. You're entitled. }}
* At the end of ''Ship In A Bottle,'' Picard makes a comment about how, for all they know, the Enterprise-D is [[Leaning Onon 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.
{{quote| '''Data:''' Commander? What are your intentions toward my daughter?<br />
