I prefer no explanation because it was a retcon/reboot that never needed explaining.
New or Old Klingons?

Maybe ENT should have a done a sequel, a gripping story finally explaining to us how the 24th Century Klingons acquired a hooked nose.
Not being able to take a joke or some self-depreciation does make one humorless, yes.
I wish they would have taken a time traveling journey where they made Enterprise never exist, thereby not destroying their own universe!
Where exactly is the humour in this? If it was meant to be funny then it's certainly not in the least apparent.
Not to you, obviously.
It evidently takes extremely little to amuse you.
It's easy, I don't treat any of this as Gospel and I have no problem when it pokes fun at itself.
Most TOSers though, go for the Gospel route.
Its amazing how you stand to be among those you evidently consider unenlightened.
My initial gut response to the title was the "new" Klingons.
I feel kinda embarrassed by the normal, human looking Klingons especially Kras the repairman and that fool from Tribbles who said the Enterprise as garbage remarks.
However, I did enjoy Kor and Kang, and---to a fault---Koloth, or was that Trelane as a Klingon trying to mess with Kirk?
I actually prefer Kor and Kang's characters/performance to many of the new Klingons.
But I like the look of the new Klingons much more. They were too generic looking at times in TOS.

Ah yes. I do remember that.

I'm still waiting for whatever it was that was suppose to be funny...
Unenlightened, no. Stiff and taking this a bit too seriously, yes.
Manny Coto taking what was a throwaway scene and making a arc story about it just to justify ridges vs non-ridges. Was amusing to me when I realized what the point of it was.
What was the point of it? Please tell, as I didn't see one.
It was the time travel episode of DS9 where Worf and O'Brien talk about the Klingons looking different and Worf being asked why I believe! At the time no one had any idea why is what they're getting at I think!

That's the point of any Star Trek? To entertain. I found it an entertaining two-parter and, having missed the teaser on my initial viewing, I jumped up at the sight of TOS-style Klingons invading the Enterprise NX-01! I never thought I'd see the day.
All very well, but I don't believe they ever explain why Kor, Kang and Koloth went from being one kind of Klingon to something completely different in DS9. They fucked it up royally by doing that given we'd already seen smoother headed Klingons alongside the turtleheads in TUC. So the ENT explanation just added more crap atop existing crap.
