Most viral/meme-ified Star Trek moments?

. . .circa the 1980s.

Pretty sure I bought my first "Beam Me Up Scotty!" bumper sticker in '74 or '75, at my first convention.

I used the word circa to give some wiggle-room there. I was pretty sure it was the actual 1970s too, but I didn't have a hard reference. Media references exist online dated from the 1980s, so went with that, though I probably could also just have said "circa 1980."

McCoy's gotta get his props.

"He's dead Jim"

"Damnit Jim I'm a (insert your actual profession) not a (insert whatever profession you're not that fits the situation)

"Beam me up, Scotty!" is pretty widely known. It's not a Star Trek moment per se, because it's not an actual line of dialog, but it faithful idealizes a great many actual Star Trek moments. (ninja'd by Melakon)
...

It's the equivalent of "Me Tarzan, you Jane," or "Play it again, Sam," or "Elementary, my dear Watson," non-quotes that everybody misremembers.

Or everyone remembering Vader saying "I am your father Luke" or "Luke....I am your father." Hell Hallmark even made a Christmas ornament when you push the button says the latter.

IT'S "NO.........I AM YOUR FATHER". Get it right damnit!!!!!!!

Although I do make an exception for Strange Brew when Dave Thomas says "I am your father, Luke. Give in to the dark side of the force, you knob." to Rick Moranis

From the OP:

I'm not talking about memes where the content has relatively little to do with the original context (like the Kirk "I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am" meme, or the "Picard facepalm" where the original meaning has actually been changed), but moments that survived the meme-ifying process (yes, I know that isn't a word) with their original content and context unscathed.

A thread on Star Trek memes you see on the internet, and no one's posted this? Really?

The OP asked for moments or instances that were popular enough in Trek to become memes but kept their original intent. As it is, that clip above is from Picard reciting Shakespeare to save Lwaxana from the Ferengi. He's not expressing annoyance (indeed, Picard never used the f-bomb ever).

He supposedly used "merde" which is French for s**t a lot, though.
