I've been told so. Can anybody identify what episode this is from specifically, if so?
Does this commercial use TOS music?

The music from about 0:06 to 0:26 is from "Amok Time," as previously pointed out here on TrekBBS by @Noname Given.

Here's the fight scene from the episode. Note the music starting at 0:43 or so:

And I actually replied to that post but forgot I'd heard this before...
My impression is that they composed and recorded new music for the commercial, and a few notes of it are reminiscent of "Amok Time." Definitely on purpose.

"Negative. A close copy."
From "Taste of Amageddon", of course.
I love working Trek quotes into my conversation, even though most people don't catch it, or perhaps more likely don't want to acknowledge it. lest they encourage me.

Good catch! And hey, we're among friends here.

I like that, too.
Sometimes I can't help it.
I don't know how many times when I can't find something I'm thinking "The override! Where's the Override" while I look around. And that's not even when anyone is around.
I sense a thread! Hm, I've actually never started one . . . .
Until you start that thread...
About 25 years ago, I was walking down a long corridor quite a few steps behind a co-worker. Another co-worker was coming from the other direction. When they came close to face-to face, maybe about 30 feet in front of me, they both gave the “Mirror, Mirror” salute to each other in perfect unison. It was totally unexpected, and I almost died laughing. I’m sure some of my other stuffed-shirt coworkers from that time would have mistaken it for a Nazi salute and been offended.
One of the guys, the one I was following, would also frequently answer his phone “THIS IS KANG”, if I was in his lab when it rang.
Nerd sympatico!

Whenever someone someone left the branch to another one or another building I'd come off with "Regrettable, but we all move up in rank" which isn't a direct quote but a mix of the two from Sulu and Chekov.
I gave up when no one knew what I was talking about.
One time I was in a meeting at work and a coworker picked up a mouse and spoke to it saying "hello, computer!" So I said "just use the keyboard", and our boss said "keyboard, how quaint."
Thought of another one...at a different job than my last story: my wife and I joined a coworker friend and his wife for dinner and I mentioned another colleague that we were "not so fond of". Not interested in ruining dinner by discussing the guy further, my friend just looked at our wives, shook his head and said "he is not of the body". Nothing more needed to be said.
