Day 12 - What's your favorite funny moment?This is so hard to answer that I must list seperately for each incarnation.
TOS: Two I already named - the Tribble on Kirk's head is competing with Iman!Shapeshifter turning into William Shatner and delivering his/her line re: Kirk's secret wish. Runner-up: Mad swashbuckler Sulu in
The Naked Time adressing Uhura as "fair maiden" and Uhura retorting "sorry, neither", and also the scene in
Charlie X where Uhura is teasing Spock via song and he gamely plays along. Can't decide between these four.
TNG: "What can I do to convince you people?" "Die." (
Deja Q, Q is trying to assure the Enterprise crew this isn't another game, he really did turn human, and Worf giving his succint answer. I mean, I love Q, but that was perfect.) On that note, I'm also fond of another Worf moment, from the Robin Hood episode: "I am
not a merry man!". But if I have to choose, it must stay behind such gems as Deanna's tipsy
First Contact (the movie, not the episode) rant - "this is not the time to argue about time!", or "Jean-Luc, Jean-Luc, sometimes I think the only reason I come here is to listen to those
wonderful speeches of yours" (Q in
True Q, after Picard has just delivered an impassioned defense of humanity (again)).
DS9: One runner-up: "If you're above money, you certainly don't need mine." (Nog to Jake in
In the Cards -
In The Cards is full of hilarity, of course, but here Nog strikes a blow against the mystery that is Federation economics and moral lectures to Ferengi on same) competing with "we don't talk about it to outsiders" (Worf's non-explanation for the change of looks for Klingons from the TOS era to the movieverse, TNG and after era in
Trials and Tribble-ations). And then there's Quark's deadpan reply in
Little Green Men when Odo shows up at the 11th hour and one of the humans asks who this is: "My hero." (It's funny because it's true.*g*) But really, the crown has to go to Garak's and Quark's immortal rootbeer/Federation exchange from my icon.
Voyager: Janeway as Arachnia in
Captain Proton is certainly up there, as is the Doctor in Seven of Nine's body experiencing food and drink, but my favourite funny
Voyager moment is a daydream the Doctor has, involving Tuvok and... you'll see. Ignore the rubbish he says about
La Donna é mobile at the start of this sequence (no, Doctor, this aria isn't sung by a poor student about his heartless mistress, it's sung by a ruthless lothario of a Duke about to pounce on his latest victim), and just bask in what follows:
