Funniest Moments?

[Tracy Trek]

My father and mother had a smililar situation. My dad's family had eleven children. He was the youngest. By the time he was born some of his older brothers and sisters were already married with kids. He was an uncle the minute he was born. An older sister married a man named Joe. When dad grew up he married Joe's niece. Dad's sister became his aunt by marriage and my mother's uncle became her brother-in-law by marriage. His wife, whom she had long known as an aunt, became her sister-in-law. My aunt is also my great aunt because she married my grandmother's brother. Her husband was both my uncle by marriage (married to aunt) and my great uncle by blood ( brother of my grandmother). When telling this story I take great pains to explain that my parents were NOT related!

I read that twice and I'm still not sure I understand.

It sounds like something I found in my family tree. My maternal great grandparents were 2nd cousins because his grandmother and her grandfather were brother and sister. But wait, it gets worse. The above mentioned brother and sister who were my great grandparent's grandparents, well their parents were uncle and niece. It wasn't an old uncle and a young niece. They were about the same age and he was the youngest brother of her mother. This is very far back in the family tree as my great grandparents were born in the late 1800's and both died before I was born.

From Rapture:

O'Brien: O'Brien to Captain Sisko
Sisko: Go ahead
O'Brien: Sir, I've just received word that Kai Winn is on her way to the station. She should arrive in less than two hours
Sisko:: Thank you Chief, Major Kira will meet her at the the air lock
Sisko (to Kira): Make my apologies. Tell the Kai, that I am busy today but i'll meet with her tomorrow. Tell..(pauses) Make something up.

Avery Brooks delivery with the hand wave and 'meh' face crack me up every time.

From Babel

KIRA: Chief?
O'BRIEN: How can I help you, Major?
KIRA: You're the one who could use a little help.
O'BRIEN: Oh, no, I'm fine, really.
KIRA: I suppose this isn't a good time to tell you that number three turbolift has broken down again. Joking, Chief.
O'BRIEN: Major, larks true pepper.
KIRA: What?
O'BRIEN: Let birds go further loose maybe. Shout easy play.
KIRA: Chief, you're not making any sense.
O'BRIEN: Round the turbulent quick. Well, close the reverse harbour. Ankle try sound. Reset gleaming. Dinner to bug.
KIRA: Chief, wait.
O'BRIEN: When?
KIRA: Chief!

Loved Babel, but never thought of the gibberish as funny personally. Always felt it looked a little like dementia as you could see their minds start to unravel and the panic setting in as they realise they've contracted the aphasia.

Besides, I bet the script was impossible to learn. It's not just gibberish but consistent gibberish.

Also when they look at a screen the words on it seem like gibberish to them too. I guess what they hear is equally scrambled and that means that they're completely isolated.

The dialogue in The Ascent between Odo and Quark has always cracked me up.

Quark: "I hate this transmitter, I hate this mountain, and most of all, I hate the Orion Syndicate for stranding us here."
Odo: "I think we both know who's really to blame."
Quark: "Don't try and blame this on me, Constable. It was your job to get me to Inferna Prime safely."
Odo: "Well, you never told me the Orion Syndicate was after you."
Quark: "You never asked."
Odo: "If I had, would you have told me the truth, or would you have lied...like you...lie about...everything?"
Quark: "Have I ever told you how much I hate that smug, superior attitude of yours?"
Odo: "Have I ever told you how much I hate your endless lying, your pathetic greed, your idiotic little schemes?"
Quark: "Well, I hate..."
Odo: "What do you hate?"
Quark: "You."
Odo: "Well, that's fine with me...'cause I hate you, too. You're nothing but a petty thief!"
Quark: "You're an arrogant prude."
Odo: "LECHER!"
Quark: "FREAK!"
Odo: "FRAUD!"
Quark: "FASCIST!"
Odo: "FAILURE!

The escalation is very well done.

"Kill Worf"

And then at the last moment of the episode, when they both rush at Worf with weapons in their hands, the end.

We never get to see what they did to him.

Fun trying to imagine the next few seconds, of course. They can't possibly kill Worf, they wouldn't/couldn't even begin to beat him up. Yet that's clearly what they intend to do (with weapons raised). A rush like that would at least knock him over, starting a fight, which they wouldn't do I guess, either... And they're not going to rush up to him and just stop and stand there like idiots...

So, can't happen, but apparently it does. A fun way of screwing with us.

Yes, a sort of cartoonish kind of situation, where the only possible outcomes are impossible ones.

I loved the soulless minions of orthodoxy and basically everything Geiger said in In The Cards.

What is it that Nog says?

"Geiger, Lions and Bears"

To what Jake answers:

"Oh my!"

My cells could use a little entertainment right about now.

"Lions and Geigers and Bears", like the original.

Also:
Lieutenant Worf: "Captain - you keep a saddle on board?"
Picard: "I only wish I'd had the opportunity to use it on a horse."
Lieutenant Worf: [confused] "Of course."

In my defense, I haven't watched the original since I reached puberty.

C'mon! It's a classic line

Longer scene from In The Cards. The chewing out they get from Sisko is as hilarious as any other part. Avery Brooks could sure do angry really well.

I thought that by "original" you meant the Wizard Of Oz. Of course, I remember that scene very well. I just didn't remember the order in which he said the words, that's all.
