Hey
I'm trying to put together a list of funny TOS episodes to watch at a party this weekend. So what are your guys's favourites?
 
If this is TOS-only, shouldn't it be in the TOS forum? But The Trouble with Tribbles is fairly amusing.
 
My favorite funny episode has always been "I, Mudd." But there's not a darn thing wrong with "Trouble with Tribbles," either.

Personally I think "Spock's Brain" is a hoot as well, although I very much fear it wasn't supposed to be.
 
Haha, I don't think Spock's Brain was meant to be funny. It was though. Um, I wasn't sure about which category to put it...So I just put it in general. I love Trouble with Tribbles, I put that one on the list : )
 
Both Harry Mudd episodes are funny. "Spock's Brain" is hilarious and "The Trouble with Tribbles".
I would also add "The Squire of Gothos". The Halloween themed "Catspaw" is good fun, too.
 
'Bread and Circuses'; great Big Three episode, brilliant use of stock footage and Rhodes Reason out-Shatnering Shatner.
 
City on the edge of forever, A Piece of the Action and Trouble with Tribbles​
 
Enterprise:
Unexpected
Singularity

Star Trek:
The Trouble with Tribbles
I, Mudd
A Piece of the Action

Next Generation:
I don't actually recall any funny episodes

Deep Space Nine:
The Magnificient Ferengi

Voyager:
Bride of Chaotica

Enjoy.
 
Okay so:

Shore Leave
Spock's Brain
I, Mudd
Trouble with Tribbles
(Possibly) The Squire of Gothos...I love Trillaine (I hope that's how you spell it)

I'm looking for one more episode-ish...
 
The interaction between Gareth and Marta in "Whom Gods Destory" cracks me up. There's a bit of a sad moment at the end when Gareth snaps out of his mania, but I think for the most part the episode is hilarious. Especially the parts when Shatner plays Kirk possessed by Gareth. Him going crazy because he can't figure out the code words is so funny. Despite the serious turn it takes when Kirk gets feelings for the woman, "Elaan of Troyus" is very amusing too. Lots of good humour in season 3, despite the many bad episodes.
 
In fact, Season Three of TOS contains more funny (unintentional or not) episodes than any other in the franchise! Spocks Brain and The Way To Eden I count as funny episodes, because they're so bad, they're almost good.

Plato's Stepchildren is another in this category. Shatner doing his horse impression is something else!

Are you looking for 'intended' funny episodes, or episodes that were so bad, that they're hilarious?
 
TOS:
The Doomsday machine, Elaan of Troyius, The Tholian web, Amok time, The Devil in the dark

TNG:
Best of Both Worlds 1 and 2, Conundrum, Parallels, Q who?

Voy:
Scorpion 1 and 2

Enterprise:
A mirror darkly 1 and 2
