TNG moments that made you laugh.

Early in the first season, perhaps in the first episode, Data walks past enginering as O'Brien mentions, "We'll be burning the midnight oil on this one." Without ever breaking stride, Data raises a cautionary finger and says in passing, "That would not be adivisable." O'Brien stares after him, bewildered. It's drive-by literalism.

Another moment, also owing to Spiner and Data, is a reaction. I think it is the scene in which Picard demonstrates how a professor of his "just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence...". Data blinks and shakes his head as if in wonder.

A great little scene from All Good Things.
 
Worf demonstrating the Klingon mating call to help either Wesley or Data (forget the episode now, sorry!) in his desire to have a relationship.

Wesley. 'The Dauphin' was the episode name, I think.

I also find the bit after that mating call demonstration to be classic - Worf describing Klingon courtship, and REALLY getting into it.

The female throws things ...

"The male writes (pause) Love poetry. (Another pause) He ducks a lot."

One of my favourite scenes. Sometimes, can't help but wonder what the Klingon equivalents of Mills & Boon or porn are like.
 
"Firstborn" - Riker, Worf and Troi are confronting the Duras sisters.

WORF: This was dropped by one of the assassins. It bears the crest of your house.
B'ETOR: Ge'ko kaf'la.
LURSA: Someone must have given it to the assassins to implicate us.
TROI: Why would someone do that?
B'ETOR: In order to tarnish our good name.
WORF: You cannot tarnish a rusted blade.
:lol:
 
Everyone pretty much covered most of the good ones, but here's one I always get a chuckle at from The Chase:

Klingon: "Until we assemble it, we will never know its purpose."
Cardassan: "He's right. As far as we know it might just be a recipe for biscuits!"
Klingon: "Biscuits? If that's what you believe, then go back to Cardassia, I will send you my mother's recipe."
 
I just watched "The Pegasus" recently, and the "Captain Picard Day" opening scene is still hilarious:

When Commander Riker does a Captain Picard impression while holding a Captain Picard doll and takes it with him onto the bridge.

Comment from Picard: "Oh, you'll be interested to know that I've arranged for a Commander Riker Day next month. I'm considering making an entry myself."

Additional comment from Picard when speaking to an admiral: "He he he...I'm a role model."

I had forgotten about this until I saw it again--a very pleasant surprise.
