* A morbidly obese Scotsman with a sometimes incomprehensibly thick accent.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu|Jean]][[Star Trek: The Next Generation|-Luc]] [http://mangafox.me/manga/dengeki_pikachu/v01/c003/10.html Pikachu], anyone?
 
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Galaxy Quest]]'', an [[Affectionate Parody]] of everything ''Trek'' that borders on [[Take That]] and [[Deconstructive Parody]].
 
== [[Magazines]] ==
* What is likely the first-ever parody of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'', imaginatively titled "Star ''Bleech''", was published in the December, 1967, issue of ''[[Mad]]'' Magazine. A joke used in that issue (Spock saying "He could not believe his ears"), was actually re-used ''in the show itself'' (in the episode "The Trouble With Tribbles").
 
 
== [[Live Action Television]] ==
Line 34 ⟶ 30:
* ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' famously parodied ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' in its first season (1976), in the celebrated "Last Voyage of the Starship ''Enterprise''" sketch. John Belushi played Kirk and Chevy Chase played Spock.
* ''[[The Two Ronnies]]'' parodied ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtzFNEI-b3Y this 1973 sketch]. Corbett played Kirk and Barker played Spock.

Line 50 ⟶ 49:
* The ''[[Veggie Tales]]'' short "The Gourds Must Be Crazy", which introduces Jimmy and Jerry the Gourd twins, and Scooter the Scottish carrot.
* The ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'' episode ''Swine Trek''.
* This trope is abused to hell and back in ''The High Fructose Adventures of [[The Annoying Orange|Annoying Orange]]'', particularly whenever the main cast travels between planets. Their uniforms have a [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]] of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' 's Starfleet insignia on their uniforms, which also share the same color scheme. Squash inexplicably gains a hairstyle that makes him look like Spock. And, to top it all off, they travel in a spaceship that is basically a souped-up U.S.S. ''Enterprise'' (NCC-1701 model).
