* In 2x17 "Samaritan Snare", Picard explains why he has to visit Starbase 515, and we discover that he was a bit of a hellraiser as a new officer (and holder of an [[Idiot Ball]]):
{{quote|'''Picard:''' ...I stood toe-to-toe with the worst of the three [Naasicans], and I told him what I thought of him, his pals, his planet, and I possibly made some passing reference to [[Your Mom|his questionable parentage]]...<br />
(''Wesley grins'') }}
* In "Peak Performance" [2x21], Data loses to Kolrami in a strategy game and withdraws from the bridge. Troi and Pulaski tell Captain Picard that he is their only hope of getting Data back in action.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
'''Picard''': Q, the liar! Q, the misanthrope!
'''Q''': Q, the miserable! Q, the desparate! What must I do to convince you people?!
'''Worf''': [[Deadpan Snarker|Die]].<br />
([[Beat]] as Riker tries desperately not to explode with laughter)<br />
'''Q''': Oh, ''very'' clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately? }}
** This one's a bit more chilling than funny.
Line 89 ⟶ 88:
** Ditto for Picard later saying he convinced the school to hold a "Commander Riker Day" and that he was considering making an entry himself.
* When Riker, LaForge, and Deanna found their way to Barclay's... um... ''special'' holodeck program in "Hollow Pursuits," [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JF6r8IWKtI#t=04m00s Deanna's reaction] to her own misappropriated image had this troper in stitches:
{{quote|'''Deanna:''' You're taking it so seriously! [[Tempting Fate|It's not without its element of humor]]...<br />
'''Fantasy!Deanna:''' I am the Goddess of Empathy. Cast off your inhibitions, and embrace love, truth, joy.<br />
'''Deanna:''' *gasp and stare of pure horror* <br />
'''LaForge:''' *amused* Oh my God. }}
** Let's not forget what Troi says to the "Goddess" before they leave.

* 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 />
'''Troi:''' ''(bored and blunt)'' Well, maybe he's just tired of hearing you ''complain''.<br />
'''Janeway:''' Pardon me?<br />
'''Troi:''' I know ''I'm'' certainly tired of it. How do you think it feels to sit and listen to someone ''whine'' about themselves all the time? }}
* In "Lower Decks", Sam complains that he thinks Riker doesn't like him.
{{quote|'''Ben:''' Why? Did you crash the ship into something?}}
* In "Code of Honor", Picard has been recapping the morality of the situation...
{{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 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."
