Which is these 4 Star Trek Discovery characters is the funniest: Stamets, Philippa Georgiou, Tilly or Reno?

[Nyotarules]

Reno wins for me

 

[tomalak301]

Stamets in the first two seasons, Reno the rest of the way. Still didn't like what they did with Stamets as the seasons went on (Neutering him in a way).

 

[Artoo Atari]

i don't find any of them Haha funny. Reno is a sarcastic like McCoy. Stamets isn't funny at all. Tilly is cringy as fuck / annoying. Phillipa is un-nerving, not funny, and uses it as a tool.

This is pretty much how I feel about them.

Reno was humorous, but in a modern, non-Trek kind of way. In other words, would someone in the 23rd century joke about "Officer Hazmat cleaning up on aisle 5"? In First Contact, Geordi didn't understand what "taking a leak" meant. Yet Reno referring to Detmer as "the $hit" was understood by someone born in the 32nd century?

Philippa's humor was just.... weird. Yes, unnerving is probably a better description.

Stamets was just not funny. 'Nuff said.

Tilly was nails on a chalkboard. She spoke and acted like a 21st century middle schooler. The fact that the character seemed to be a writer's pet made it that much worse. I found myself fast forwarding through a lot of her scenes.

 

[Detached Nacelle]

Reno is a treasure as is mirror Georgiou.

Tilly and Stamets I wouldn't really say are funny. Linus however...

 

[rocketscientist]

Jett Reno all the way. I liked her and Mirror Georgiou more than any of the regulars.

I'm generally with you. I really liked Jett Reno and Phillipa Georgiou. They were my favorites on DISCO.

Stamets was occasionally amusing and I never cared much for Tilly. Kind of grating and irritating like Neelix (worst Star Trek character ever).

... and I never cared much for Tilly. Kind of grating and irritating like Neelix (worst Star Trek character ever).

One of my favorite scenes out of the entire run of Voyager was in the episode "Meld" when Tuvok created a holographic Neelix on the holodeck and choked the life out of him.

I know this sounds harsh, but Tilly is, to me, sort of Discovery's Jar Jar, or for us Gen Xers, the Scrappy Doo.

She's nowhere near that annoying, or in Jar Jar's case, racist.

 

[Phoenix219]

I have enjoyed Scrappy-Doo cartoons more than I have ever enjoyed a scene with Tilly in it. She is the physical embodiment of eye rolling cringe.

Agree to disagree.

Probably because I was the Tilly in social situations and it still helps me not feel so alone.

 

[Commander Troi]

Reno, followed by Stamets. I love dry delivery.

i was a sheltered, nerdy, picked on child with thick glasses. i outgrew it / was bullied out of it, but ultimately had to leave entire groups of people behind to start over. once i learned more about the world, life, human nature, and became a different person, with different and/or expanded interests, i completely understood why i was attracting the abuse that i was in years past, and i would now be annoyed by all of the same qualities.

You do you.

I had the same experiences and had people who tried to help and finally found people who accepted me as I am and helped me grow. Things that I grew past I help others grow past.

i would hate meeting my past self. i would probably bully him or at least give him a lot of harsh truths. i'll always have some quirks and eccentricities, and thats part of my "charm", but i am no longer cluelessly and naively embarassing myself on a daily basis. (i was the kid that would always look down, or miss the high 5, or look for gullible written on the ceiling.)


Now, when i embarass myself, its by choice. lmao.

Your choice and my choice. I'd rather learn than regret.

thats how i see my path - i learned, from a place of naivety, to a place of understanding human nature, and grew into a more well rounded and understanding person, while keeping enough of my quirks to remain unique. i am quite happy with where and who i ended up.

but yes, to each their own.

I'm not perfectly happy but that's life.

But, I recognize what I needed as a younger person and strive to be that person to those who others consider cringe.

 

[EnderAKH]

I love all of them, but Tig Notaro is a stand up, so her line deliveries are ::chef's kiss:: every time.

idk. i'm glad i'm not the person that i was, and by learning everything the hard way, its all natural change. if i had been enabled and defended instead of pushed to grow and change, i'm almost scared to wonder what i would have become. i'm glad i have a bit of experience on both sides of the line, and i'm to the point where i could give a damn what people think of me, yet at the same time, i am SO glad that i'm not THAT anymore, so i guess i do/did care what people think. meh. interesting logical circle though.

Who said defended?

Just accepted and encouraged to do better. Seen it multiple times working.
