Favourite Comedy Scene?

[Smellmet]

Apologies if this is a repeat thread but I've been on here a while and can't seem to recall seeing it before.

I know comedy has featured in Trek to varying degrees of success, so what's everyone's favourite funny scene or scenes?

I think the one that got the biggest belly laugh for me is from TVH, the 'do you guys like Italian? Yes, no, no, no, yes' scene. Spock's perfect deadpan delivery of the final 'yes' has me in stitches every time.

I'm also quite partial to the 'What is it with you anyway' line from Bones in TUC.

Go!

I love Worf's homage to John Belushi in Q-Pid.
The head slapping scene in Little Green Men with Quark and the Army guy.
Iggy Pop as the Vorta in the Magnificent Ferengi is pretty funny too.

 

[Vandervecken]

TOS


From The Immunity Syndrome


MCCOY: Shut up, Spock! We're rescuing you.
SPOCK: Why, thank you, Captain McCoy.

Once again, as in the pizza scene you've described, Spock's delivery is just perfect. The level of sarcasm is just right here to keep it funny, and the scene is so tense, what with the music too, that you're really ready to laugh at something.


DS9


Quark trying to tempt Odo in Q-Less:

ODO: I'll never understand this obsession with accumulating material wealth. You spend your entire life plotting and scheming to acquire more and more possessions, until your living areas are bursting with useless junk. Then you die, your relatives sell everything and start the cycle all over again.
QUARK: Isn't there anything you desire?
ODO: I have my work. What more do I need?
QUARK: A suit of the finest Andorian silk? A ring of pure Surax? A complete set of Tanesh pottery? How about a latinum plated bucket to sleep in?
(Odo seems to consider it, then dismisses the idea)

When Odo looks briefly tempted by the latinum bucket idea, I just die.



TNG


Worf, Guinan, and prune juice.

There are a lot, so I may have to post frequently here.
Just a few to start with:

From Voyager:
"Get the cheese to sickbay."

From TOS:
"You should make a rather convincing Nazi."

 

[Ro_Laren]

Data's "Ode to Spot" in TNG's Schisms

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

In DS9: The Emperor's New Cloak
Mirror Ezri: I'm trying to save your lives.
Grand Nagus Zek: That's a very worthy goal!

VOY: Body and Soul
I consider it one of the best Star Trek comedies, and I generally don't like scifi comedy. Jeri Ryan doing Robert Picardo doing the EMH is hilarious.

 

[T'Girl]

The scene where Data asks Worf to take care of Data's cat, priceless.

 

[MacLeod]

Worf's reply to what Q can do to prove his mortality

Worf: Die

 

[Shat Happens]

As pointed by the OP, the absolute beste has to be:

Do you guys like Italian? Yes. No. Yes. No. I love Italian. And so do you. Yes.

The funniest (consistently funny) character is The Doctor

 

[Smellmet]

Another thing I love about that scene is that it's not goofy or slapstick, yet still manages to faithful to Spock's character - in that he really didn't know what to do in the situation, so just reverted to agreeing with his superior officer and friend. Even the bits where he's saying 'no' the look on Spock's face instantly conjures up images of pizza seriously disagreeing with his Vulcan stomach.

It's such as simple scene delivered to absolute perfection.

 

[Jedi_Master]

Uhura: "We receiving orders from Starfleet Command Captain. They are telling us to dock immediately, and be decommisioned"

Spock: "If I were human, my response would be "Go to Hell"... if I were human"

 

[Push The Button]

Any scene where Scotty is drinking or otherwise under the influence, and the events that result from this, are good for a laugh from me.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

"Double dumbass on YOU!"

And of course: Nuclear Wessels.

 

[Smellmet]

Let's face it, a good chunk of 4 and some of 5 make the list for me.

Once the BoP gets destroyed in Generations, Data's fist-pumping YES! always makes me chuckle

 

[Shat Happens]

Punk on Bus, anyone?

 

[Smellmet]

Great one. I always found the whole numbtongue? scene in ST09 amusing too

 

[Kevman7987]

Once the BoP gets destroyed in Generations, Data's fist-pumping YES! always makes me chuckle

There's an extra in the background that does a fist-pump right before Data. On the DVD commentary track featuring Braga & Moore, they mention that Brent Spiner will make sure "he'll never work in this town again."

My favorite comedy scene in all of Star Trek is when the tribbles all get dumped on Kirk's head in TTWT and the exchanges around it:

McCoy: [enters after Kirk gets covered with tribbles] Jim! I think I've got it. All we have to do is quit feeding them. We quit feeding them, they stop breeding!

Kirk: Now he tells me.

Kirk: As Captain, I want two things done. First, find Cyrano Jones, and second...

[he looks up irritated, as tribbles keep falling on him from the storage compartment] ...close that door.

 

[varek]

I like the scene on DS9 where the incompetent hitmen vaporized their target and left a big splotch on the carpet! Also, where Garak and Quark are discussing the Federation's success, after the Dominion War had ended.

 

[wulfio]

I think I can come up with a few good ones from TNG.

Deja Q

There`s a few gags in there I can`t recall, but the ones that come to mind are guinan sticking a fork in Q`s hand, and the Mariachi scene when he gets his powers back.

The Dauphin

Wesley gets tips from the crew on picking up chicks. The scene where Worf just screams at him makes me laugh. And where Riker tries to show Wesley how to sweet talk a woman; which results in him giving Riker & Guinan a dirty look.

Captain`s Holiday

Riker is telling Picard about all the women on Risa, asking `did I mention the women` and Deanna promptly responds `too often`.

The Schizoid Man

The eulogy that Data gives.




And then finally every time they tell Wesley to shut up.
