In the time period Robin Hood is set in "merry" meant strong, mighty, powerful. That's where you get Merry Men (and also Merry Christmas).
I wonder if Worf knew this?

I wonder if Worf knew this?
huh, i dont know. i certainly wasn't aware, but even if he did, anything he said in that red velvet hat would have been comic gold.
Worf - "I have a sense of humor! On the Enterprise I was considered to be quite amusing."
Dax - "That must have been one dull ship."
Worf - "That is a joke! I get it!"
Dax - "That must have been one dull ship."
Worf - "That is a joke! I get it!"
^ What is it about that quote that makes some people crack up? I can't say I ever got the joke.
It's the context. Rashaun & Kevin were having a deep conversation w/ Picard. I think Worf wasn't really paying attention when she invited him into the conversation. He looked momentarily at a loss for words, then blurted out the non-sequitur line.
It was also funny for Worf to say something so innocuous and polite, and it was funny for him to deliver the line while daintily holding a teacup.

Worf: "It is not funny, but I get it."
I just happened to watch Liaisons last night, and I loved Worf's reaction to Ambassador Byleth's 'rudeness' experiment; especially when he just loses it and thrashes the s*&% out of him!
In answer to the OP, Worf probably was deliberately written as the comic relief character a lot of the time. He cracked me up constantly. In a way, he seemed to be the only TNG character with a sense of (rather dry) humour.
'Find him and kill him!'
Thanks for answering. That makes it clear.

Also in the same episode, I found Worf's over-reaction to be amusing, where he requested reassignment for the "Sake of the ship and the Federation" as well as "You see! They are insane!" line.
"No, I mean contractions... I'm going into labor!"
"You cannot! This is not a good time, Keiko!"
"You cannot! This is not a good time, Keiko!"
oh worf, you so crazy!
That's my very favorite Worf line.
Dorn and Frakes had it made when it came to their characters. They were the only two who were allowed to be both serious and funny. Dorn always had this expression on hs face after he said something funny. You can see that he was thinking, "Was that funny??? I never meant it to be funny???" He had such a deadpan delivery.
I dont think the lines themselves were funny it was the way they were delivered.
