Star Trek: The Original Series/Funny: Difference between revisions

* From The Original Series, the ending of "I, Mudd" where the crew defeats Harry Mudd's robots by confronting them with a barrage of bald-faced illogic, climaxing with some incredibly silly pantomime with the crew enjoying every minute of it. Particularly good is Spock telling a pair of identical robots that he loves one and hates the other, and it's precisely because they're identical that he feels that way.

** [[Replacement Scrappy]]?

'''Mudd:''' The key word in your entire peroration, Mister Spock, was, ''death''. }}

* A scene in "A Piece of the Action" in which Kirk distracts a group of gangsters by teaching them Fizzbin, a complicated card game which he improvises on the spot. [[The Kirk|Kirk]], [[The Spock|Spock]] and [[The McCoy|McCoy]] break free while the gangsters are busy trying to figure out the intentionally complicated rules.

** From the same episode, Kirk's attempts to drive a 1930's styled car.

'''Spock''': Not at all, Captain. It's your ''driving'' that alarms me. }}

** Also from "A Piece of the Action" near the end, when ''Spock'' tells the gangster, "I suggest yous keep dialin'."

* "The Trouble with Tribbles" - Kirk's growing frustration with the Tribbles multiplying on his ship is hysterical to watch, especially [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bprgl_4z6gY this bit] where he ends up buried up to his armpits in tribbles. The [[Death Glare|glare]] he gives Bones after telling him to find out how the Tribbles died is priceless.

*** No, the ''best'' part is the ''massive'' shit-eating grin McCoy is wearing when he comes in to say how to stop the tribbles from breeding.

*** Then Kirk's reaction to it:

** This moment is even funnier when you stop and think that those tribbles that keep hitting Kirk in the head every few seconds are being thrown by some prop guy on the other side of the little door.

** It gets even better. In-universe, those tribbles keep falling on him because [[Deep Space Nine|Sisko and Dax]] were throwing them!

** Spock picks up a tribble and begins absent-mindedly stroking it.

(realizes everyone's staring at him, looks rather embarrassed for a Vulcan, and quickly puts it down) }}

** Not to mention the end of "Trouble with Tribbles" when we find out that the fuzzy little balls of trouble were transported to {{spoiler|the Klingon ship}}.

* "By Any Other Name" - Scotty working his way through his entire liquor cabinet:

'''Scotty''': It's... uh... it's green! }}

** Also, when Scotty finally, ''finally'' drinks him under the table: [[Cargo Ship|Scotty/Scotch]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLWX3qrtweI#t=02m13s forever]!

* Kirk's attempted explanation of Spock's ears in "The City on the Edge of Forever".

** Or when they're interrogating Kirk about his [[Space Clothes]], leading to the wonderful line:

* How about "Shore Leave" and all the craziness that goes on in that episode? Like the white rabbit and McCoy calling Sulu.

** A bit of fuel for the Kirk/Spock shippers: Near the very beginning, [[It Makes Sense in Context|Yeoman Barrows gives Kirk a massage]], and for a moment Kirk thinks Spock is behind him doing it, and [[Ho Yay|he seems to like it]]...

* "The Naked Time" - Sulu is a Musketeer. "Richelieu, beware!"

"[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Sorry, neither!]]" }}

* After kissing Lieutenant Ariel Shaw on the bridge of his ship ("Court Martial") Kirk goes to sit in the captain's chair with the stiffest poker face ever seen; Spock and McCoy, on either side, are staring straight ahead. After a pause, and a flicker of a glance at Spock...

'''McCoy''': Indeed she is. }}

::The absolutely deadpan delivery would shame the most orthodox Vulcan.

* In "The Tholian Web", part of the plot includes McCoy using an infamous Klingon nerve gas agent. Scotty, incredulous, points this out, to which McCoy stresses that in the form he intends to use it in, all it will do is "deaden a few brain cells". It leads to this immortal line:
