*TAS* Caption Contest 008: Edith in the Sky With Dilithium

[Maurice]

As is the new norm, this first post will be the winners, and the second post will contain the captionable images for this week, making it easier for y'all to punch QUOTE and have at it.

So, without further ado...

Captain Crow starts us off with the first entry in the Letterman meme. Can't wait to see the "Top 10 Reasons Why the Venus Drug Rhymes With That Other Thing"!

David Letterman as Harry Mudd in Star Trek: The Search for Mudd's Bitches.

Next, that Master of the Mysteries of the Antiquities, Mysterion, is QFT!

Most historians now believe that this is the exact moment that the K/S sub-genre of fan fiction was born.

And in the end, Rat Boy stays in-series with the only thing that could provoke such an expression from such lifeless drawings on the good ship Animated Enterprise.

McCoy discovers that Arex has three of every appendage.

And let's not forget the...

***** Honorable Mentions of the Week *****
​

The Laughing Vulcan keeps it international with this one. If you don't get it, click here!

If that's Greavsie, I'd hate to see Saint.

If it makes me LOL, it's a contender...

Kirk: "Only if our phasers touch."

Finally, Super Grover almost won it with this one, but a reference to, oh, say another Star Trek property would have given it the meta-reference oomph to hit apogee. Or well, it still merits a nod!

McCoy stayed in that trance for a week and a half, not being able to function or stay focused. But this is a typical reaction for anyone who sat through an entire viewing of Troll 2.

[Maurice]

Here ya go. I'm expecting originality from y'all this week...

​

...so if you think that's a Gay Pride flag behind Kirk, you're probably already being too obvious.​

 

[Rat Boy]

Orion: "So you're saying one pill makes me larger, the other makes me small?"

One wonders where Shatner got the idea for his rendition of "Rocket Man" from.

Kirk: "It's the Klothos! They've gone to plaid!"

 

[Captain Crow]

Thanks for picking me as one of the winners DS9Sega.

When Scotty ate mexicon food everybody had to deal with the aftermath.

 

[Super Grover]

Finally, Super Grover almost won it with this one, but a reference to, oh, say another Star Trek property would have given it the meta-reference oomph to hit apogee. Or well, it still merits a nod!

McCoy stayed in that trance for a week and a half, not being able to function or stay focused. But this is a typical reaction for anyone who sat through an entire viewing of Troll 2.

Thanks for the Honorable mention. I thought about using Night of the Lepus, but Troll 2 makes it look like Shakespear, and trancends all in the realm of celluloid waste.

 

[Bad Atom]

"Gee, I don't know... my parents always told me drugs were bad."

​

THEY WERE RIGHT

 

[Mistral]

Thanks for picking me as one of the winners DS9Sega.

Right in the middle of the big finale to Star Trek : The Animated Series the network went to a test pattern. No one noticed, including Kirk.

 

[Mistral]

​

During the production of TAS, Shatner became convinced there was a mysterious women whispering sweet nothings in his ear. Unable to convince his castmates, he became desperate and blew his brains out. The producers quickly replaced him with a cardboard advertising cut-out and a tape recorder. It went on to star in six films and eventually won an Emmy for Boston Legal.

 

[The Laughing Vulcan]

Thanks for the honourable, although I didn't think anyone would get the Greavsie quip. Yes, that is my age showing...

Wachowskis: "That was great Keanu, now can we try one without the costume."
Keanu: "But, dude. It like speaks to the intensity of my character's inner turmoil."
Wachowskis: "Yeah, whatever, you're fired. Bring on the CGI Keanu."

Kirk: "She slimed me."
Ghost: "That wasn't me hun. It's Ok, premature ejaculation is a common problem."
​

Kirk: "Help... Spock... I'm trapped in a... Commodore 64 loading screen..."
​

 

[Shatmandu]

Orion: "Thanks for selling me these drugs, Scotty."

Kirk: "She haunts my dreams ... I wonder if she has a brother."

Kirk: "If only our uniforms, our ship, and our dialogue were bland pastel colors ..."

 

[Mysterion]

Thanks for the win! Let's try again:

Kirk quickly realized that the early holodeck design still wasn't quite compatible with the new DTV transmission format.

 

[Mysterion]

​

'Take the red pill', Morpheus keeps telling me, 'take the red pill'....*sigh*...all right, what the heck...maybe I'll have better wardrobe in the Matrix...

 

[Ziz]

Why, oh why didn't I take the blue pill?​

 

[Shatmandu]

Kirk: "Cuffs and collar match. It was like fucking a half-made snow cone."

 

[Mysterion]

​

No matter what I do I do, I still sound like Jimmy Doohan! The only answer is to end it all with this home-made cyanide!

 

[Rat Boy]

Narrator: "Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice!"

Kirk: "Wrong cartoon! Now stop this damn transition animation!"

Orion: "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines."

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

​

Kirk: Spock, when I said I wanted to be blown, this wasn't quite what I meant!
​

 

[NCC-1701-B]

Are you sure this will make me thin?

 

[TigerOfDarkness]

Orion: Right - I've had enough! If you don't pronounce "Orion" properly I'll detonate this small but devestatingly powerful explosive capsule!!

 

[cooleddie74]

Kirk was completely overcome and made fabulous by the enemy's Gay Pride Ray.

"Morpheus said if I take the red one, this stupid episode will finally end."
