What's your favorite Star Trek Franchise based parody/joke?

Galaxy Quest

 

I don't know if this is my very most favorite, but it's up there, and it's certainly one of the *strangest*, too.

 

Also, pretty much the entirety of John M. Ford's "How Much for Just the Planet?"

When I was in college I wrote an atrocious Mary-Sueish Trek fanfic called "Q and A"* which tied in with a few other books (like that one where somebody gives Wesley a girl - I forget how that went), and featured cameos from every other SF franchise that existed at the time, mostly being popped onto the bridge by Q or A (a rival omnipotent being and also me) in order to tell Wesley to shut up. It was written on an old Commodore 64, and the floppy it was on was mistakenly stored in an attic and wrecked by heat warping, so the world has lost my masterpiece.

*Waaaay before Krad's book of a similar title

 

*chuckle* Crack fics can be some of the best parodies at times.

 

The Scottish sketch show Chewin' the Fat did an excellent parody of Star Trek called Taysiders in Space. It chronicles the adventures of the first graduates from the new Starfleet Academy located just outside Carnoustie, Scotland.

Not the best parody perhaps, but a good description of the sad and lonely road that led me here.

Speaking of my mis-spent youth, here's a gem from Wayne and Shuster that I made a point of watching (there wasn't a lot Star Trek available in those days), on the cable. I warn you: it's Canadian.

 

Ah Star Trekkin' managed to grab the number 1 spot in the UK for 2 weeks.

 

The original SNL skit, probably was the first one I ever saw. The Last Voyage of the Starship Enterprise.

I'd say GalaxyQuest, but I just finished Redshirts. Give it some time..

 

Here's mine that I know, from SCTV:

 

Do the reboot movies count? Because they're pretty good when viewed in that context.

 

Don't think I saw this one here yet... (oh, and yes, Galaxy Quest wins the day for me too)
Enjoy!
