Favourite bit of humour

What is your favourite bit of humour or lightness in Star Trek - I've always like that scene with "Captain Picard day" - everyone acts in character (Riker taking the piss, Picard looking deeply uncomfortable) and for it just works as a scene.

I liked it when Garak was in Bashir's 007 holo programme and was comparing how well MI6 paid compared to the Obsidian Order.
 
My favorite is the scene when Kirk liberates McCoy in The Search For Spock. It has two of my favorite lines: "How many fingers am I holding up?" and "That green-blooded son of a bitch! It's his revenge for all those arguments he lost!"
 
Trek doesn't tackle humor very well. It often comes out as cheesy, tacky, predictable, cringe-worthy or a combination of those.

The TOS films handled humor fairly well (most of the time... TFF not included). The TNG films...umm... not so much.
 
"Double Dumb-Ass on You!"

"One damn minute, Admiral."

Khan's bug-eyed look when the Reliant's shields are being lowered by Enterprise.

Basically, I like the humor that comes legitimately from the situations. Not the forced, one-liners that we sometimes get.
 
Data: Life forms! You tiny little life forms! You precious little life forms! Where are you?

Data: Oh, Shit!

I know that they are pretty ridiculous moments, but they always makes me laugh.
 
Many incidents from DS9, excluding of course the horrendous Ferengi comedies.

"You'd shoot a man in the back?"

"Why not? It's the safest way."

Worf's idea of how to play baseball.

"Nice hat."

"I can't wait to get back to Deep Space Nine and see your face when you find out I never existed."

The Magnificent Ferengi & House of Quark demonstrate that even Ferengi can be funny matched up with Vortas or Klingons.
 
Quark and Singing Quark's Ad: Come to Quark's! Quark's is fun! Come right now! Don't walk ... RUN!
Quark: Oh, I love the part where my name rotates around.

Kira: If all your little advertisements aren't purged from our systems, by the time I get back from the Gamma Quadrant, I Will Come to Quark's and believe me I Will Have Fun! :guffaw::guffaw::guffaw:
