How many times did the crew of Voyager say "Some kind of..."

They need to make a DS9 version with all the times the say, "It's ironic, isn't it?"

Actually, the only one that says that is Brunt (FCA) on Bar Association... and he was right, the situation definitely was... ironic... Long story, you'd better see for yourself.
 
Actually, I was curious so I did a search of the transcripts and he only says it , two times. Once in Investigations and another time in Future's End.

Watching Nemesis and Tuvok says ruse when he's talking to Chakotay and he looks like the predator

I think it's more the fact that it just isn't a word that get's used in real life very much so it stands out to me as being a bit hammy (like something that only TV people say)

I don't think i've ever heard anyone say ruse in real life

I like when Tom says..."charming fellow"...when they talk to hostile aliens on the viewscreen but i reckon that only happened a couple of times
 
That was actually pretty impressive, but somebody had waaaaaaay too much time on their hands.
They spent it making something to entertain others.

Already done.

There aren't that many considering that it's not always the same phrase that is used and that there is a bit of dialogue with each of them. I call that cheating.
 
There are rules?

The rule of thumb is to compare what's comparable. These aren't.


Plus the video announces: "Ironic, isn't it?"

There's only a minority that are truly "ironic, isn't it" among a plethora of "The irony is", "this is ironic", "Ironically" and what not?
 
RoJoHen wanted a video with all the DS9 instances of "Ironic, Isn't It?" The video I linked to has all of them. Yeah, it has variations of the phrase too...so what? What is your point?

My point is not about you, but the author of the video, unless it's you. He wanted to make it look like there were more "ironic, isn't it" than there actually were. So he put everything that has the word, "ironic", "irony", "ironical", "ironically" in it, plus quite a bit of surrounding dialogue too boot, at times. I half expected to get a "nine iron" in there! :lol:
 
As far as I can see, the video doesn't make any claims. I just posted it because it was relevant to Rojo's post. I wish I hadn't bothered, so congrats. :)
 
I didn't realise..."ironic, isn't it"...was even a thing in DS9

Never noticed it (but then i'm the guy who thought ruse was said a thousand times in Voyager)

Actually, the only one that I clearly remembered (in spite of knowing the series inside and out) is when Brunt said it to Quark in Bar Association, because it really was and also because it was kinda funny when he said it.
 
I think there's one episode where the line "It gets worse" shows up two or three times. Once by Torres, once by the EMH that I remember. It might be "Learning Curve".
