Funny but not so popular TNG scenes

I always liked that scene. Especially Picard's section: I think most people who have been to University have had similar experiences!

TNG has a million scenes that are funny to me.
 
This scene also involves a head and a butt. Riker checks out Lore's butt..

I think all th bad novel parody scenes in Royale are hilarious.

"Look, I don't want to see you get hurt, not over a dame."
"DON'T CALL HER THAT!"
 
It's hard to know what is funny-famous and what is not. Lal and Guinan and Riker and Data would be more a favorite wouldn't it?

From Lal's alarmed "he's biting that female!" to Riker's muttered "nice to meetchu" it's great.

Always felt like I was watching an old vaudeville routine with this one, or maybe something from the Sid Caesar show. Guinan is a game straight man here, somebody had to be.

In "Schizoid Man," where Data's possessed by an old Man's downloaded "essence," and, as that old Man, presides over his own funeral. Going on and on with it, until Picard has to shut him up ... then "Data" throws Picard this look like ... "you know what? F.U."
 
Which funny scenes in TNG you liked but were not so known? For me

Listening to Geordi talking about the amazing experience of touching a plasma field makes me wonder how a Starfleet chief engineer has never felt a mild electric shock before. :confused:;)
 
I still like A Matter Of Perspective where Riker screams "You're a DEAD MAN, Apgar! A dead man!!"

I've just referred to this scene over in the "Your favourite Trek Quote" thread in General Trek Discussion. I love Riker's impression and Picard's exasperation.

I love that whole scene. I think that episode is probably the one with the funniest intro in the entire franchise.

Just afterwards, Picard tells Riker he has made 'Commander Riker Day' for which "I am thinking of submitting my own entry". :lol:
 
It wasn't meant as a humorous scene, but I always thought it was funny: In the episode 'violations,' after all the trouble the mind-rapist caused, the look of utter disdain on Worf's face when he casually jaw-jacks the perp unconscious almost like it was an afterthought. Definitely NOT a worthy opponent for a Klingon warrior!

At the end of Gambit Part II:
Picard: Number One, will you set a course for Starbase 227? I'll join you on the Bridge shortly. Riker: Wait a minute. You've been declared dead. You can't give orders around here.
Data: If we are to adhere to the exact letter of Starfleet regulations, then technically, sir you have been declared a renegade. In fact, I believe you are facing 12 counts of court-martial offenses. You cannot give orders either, sir.
Picard: That's quite right. And as I am supposed to be dead, I'll go and get some sleep. And, Mr. Data, I suggest that you escort Commander Riker to the brig.
Data: Aye, sir. This way, sir.
Riker: Data, he was joking. You know that, right? Data?
Best scene of a really mediocre episode.
 
The scene where Geordie has to make it to the bridge in Contagion. Rikers line was very appropriate at that time.

Data removing Spot from his console & telling him "This is down. Down is good. This is up. Up is no". I can't even remember the episode. How's that for going unnoticed? Force of Nature maybe?

I'm also partial to Picard's Horgha'hn scene. I never thought that got its proper due
 
In Second Chances, when Data is talking to Worf...
DATA: Lieutenant, I am curious about something. If you met a double of yourself, would you have difficulty interacting with him?
WORF: I think so.
DATA: Why?
WORF: I am not easy to get along with.
Then Data nods a little and make a sound of agreement. Worf's reaction to that cracks me up.

I also love the sequence in Unification II, when Picard is trying to sleep and Data is freaking him out.
 
Data grows a beard:
