| − | ==''Animaniacs''== |
||
| − | In the episode "Star Truck," the Warners [[Transporter|beam aboard]] the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|''Enterprise'']] (which has monster truck wheels) in the place of two [[Andorian]]s who were too busy playing video games. Wakko turns [[Montgomery Scott|"Squatty"]] onto doughnuts, making him overweight as he was ordering them ''en masse'' from the [[Food synthesizer]]. After the Warners hassle [[James T.

| − | ==''Attack of the Show!''== |
||
| − | The February 9, 2006 live episode of [[G4]]'s ''Attack of the Show!'' aired a pre-recorded skit making a parody of ''Star Trek''{{'}}s [[mirror universe]]. Kevin Pereira left his office cubicle and walked towards the studio, passing along the way various people doing their jobs, one putting up a poster for a blood drive, and two others shredding papers. Pereira entered the empty sound stage and, looking for something to do, walked through the mysterious door on the back of the set and entered into a bending and wavering corridor, at the opposite end of which one can see an identical door. Kevin went through to the other end into a seemingly identical sound stage and headed back out to the hall where the same employees were toiling away. Only, now they were sporting goatees and carrying out various acts of violence, one employee shredding another's arm in the paper shredder, and another hammering a bloodied animal onto the wall. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The skit cut to what was presumably that day's later live broadcast. Sarah, Wil, and Brendan were all on the couch answering chat questions. Sarah asks Kevin's answer to a chatter's question regarding the PS3 versus the Xbox 360. Wil hands him a mace upon which he goes to torture the chatter in a segment dubbed "Fresh Blood," in contrast to the normal show's "Fresh Ink." That bit references the fact that they are really tired of receiving that question, as they have mentioned in many shows. Kevin begins to torture the man exclaiming, "''This evil world rules!''" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Later in the real show, a chatter asked Kevin if he found the bearded Sarah sexy. He said yes, claiming that the entire alternate dimension was hotter, trying to make a joke from the fact that he has a goatee in real life. Another chatter asked if Kevin got away with anything in the alternate universe. Kevin claimed he was able to double-dip at the craft service table. (This was even more humorous, as no G4 shows had any form of craft services, only a break room with various forms of free canned sodas.) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Another episode features the USS ''AOTS'' ({{ShipClass|Nebula}}, no registry number) being attacked by a [[Klingon Bird-of-Prey|''B'Rel''-class]] Bird-of-Prey. Kevin, Olivia, and two unnamed engineering personnel try to fend off the attack, eventually leading up to the Bird-of-Prey's captain (Wil in Klingon makeup) making demands for a graphic with obscene narration. Despite Kevin apparently being the captain of the USS ''AOTS'', Olivia accepts the demands because she has motion sickness. |
||

| − | Despite the exterior shots depicting a ship whose class was not commissioned until [[2357]], the uniforms are those from [[2265]]. |

Four systems are depicted, in a 2x2 grid, designated Helios Alpha till Delta. The four maps are unintuitive ordered on the chart following the same pattern as the four [[quadrant]]s of the Star Trek [[Galaxy]]. (i.e. clockwise from top left: Gamma, Delta, Beta, Alpha.) |

| − | |||
| − | In the series finale of Caprica, "Apotheosis", right before landing Daniel Graystone's personal airplane can be seen flying past a large building featuring a banner which (apart from a new color scheme) is identical to a banner previously seen in the conference hall for the [[IME]] conference on [[Dekendi III]] in {{ENT|Stigma}} <!-- and if anyone cares about getting a screenshot of that, it's about 14 minutes into the episode, and the Dekendi banner can be seen in the establishing shots of the inside of the conference building, amongst other similar banners. It's a blue one. --> |

| − | ==''Beavis and Butt-head''== |
||
| − | ''{{w|Beavis and Butt-head}}'' was an an American animated television series created by {{w|Mike Judge}} and was featured on MTV and centered on the misadventures of two socially inept rock-loving teenage boys, who are the title characters (both voiced by Judge), who are roommates and live in the fictional town of Highland. They attend high school where their teachers are often at a loss as to how to deal with them, although in many episodes, the two skip school. They occasionally work part-time at Burger World and sometimes other side-jobs when people mistake their odd behavior as outgoing and assertive. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The comedic value is supposed to be derived from their utter lack of conventional values: they are highly obnoxious, misogynistic, and rude to almost every other character in the show, and even to each other. They do not seem to realize this however and seem to function on an instinctual level. They survive their often hazardous misadventures without serious consequences though others around them don't fare as well. Mixed within each episode are segments in which Beavis and Butt-head watch asinine music videos and provide humorous and bizarre commentary improvised by Judge. |

||
| − | Beavis and Butt-head go to a gym and they play around with a treadmill. Butt-head messes around with the controls and says, "Warp speed, [[Hikaru Sulu|Mr. Sulu]]." Beavis then says, imitating Chekov, "But Captain, the Klingons are approaching." |

Also starring in the series is [[Rene Auberjonois]] of ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' fame as Paul Lewiston. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Given Shatner's and Auberjonois's association with ''Star Trek'', several ''Trek''-related in-jokes have crept into the series. In addition, many actors (most having played aliens) who have guest-starred on ''Star Trek'' have popped up in guest roles. ''Trek'' regulars who have made appearances are [[Ethan Phillips]], [[Jeri Ryan]], [[Michelle Forbes]], [[Scott Bakula]] and [[Armin Shimerman]]; two actors who make numerous appearances (both as judges) are [[Ron Canada]] and [[Henry Gibson]], while [[Joanna Cassidy]] had a recurring role as Shatner's love interest.

While staying the night in a cabin, Alan reads a book on sea lice and explains to Denny that the lice are called "cling-ons." Denny replies to this by asking "''Did you say "[[Klingon]]s?''" The German translation of this episode is using a different wordplay in which Shore says "''Dance on the ecological vulcan''" and Denny replies "''Did you say [[Vulcan]]?''". |

The episode Operation: D.U.C.K.Y. features sailors of a ship who are a direct parody of ''Star Trek'' and the captain is a parody of [[William Shatner]]. His name is James T. Dirt. The episode Operation: T.R.I.C.K.Y. also featured Numbuh One dressed up as a [[Borg]] for Halloween. |

| − | ==''The Colbert Report''== |
||
| − | Clips from {{e|Sins of the Father}} are used in an episode of {{w|The Colbert Report}}. Stephen Colbert "mistakes" Kurn for 2008 US Republican presidential primary candidate Rudy Giuliani, and the scene of Picard rhetorically asking, "''what does this say about an empire that holds honor so dear,''" is used. |

The segment also ended with Maffei giving Colbert a Vulcan salute. |

| − | ==''Comic Relief''== |
||
| − | In the sixth special, a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hra0I-w3XBY special segment] was produced on the [[bridge]] and [[observation lounge]] sets from ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' during the [[TNG Season 7|seventh season]] and guest-starred [[Jonathan Frakes]], [[Brent Spiner]], [[Gates McFadden]], [[Michael Dorn]], [[LeVar Burton]], and [[Marina Sirtis]] as Commander [[William T. Riker|Riker]], [[Data]], Dr. [[Beverly Crusher|Crusher]], [[Worf]], [[Geordi La Forge]], and Counselor [[Deanna Troi|Troi]], respectively. In the segment, Data and La Forge beam back to the ''[[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|Enterprise]]'' after discovering some artifacts from [[20th century]] [[Earth]] on a planet. The artifacts turn out to be a VHS cassette of a ''Comic Relief'' special and some articles of clothing ("TEE-shirts" and "SWEAT-shirts" as Data describes them). La Forge downloads the VHS tape into the ''Enterprise'' computer, revealing a still photograph of ''Comic Relief'' hosts Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, and [[Whoopi Goldberg]]; however, Data and the rest of the crew mistakenly refer to her as "Whoo-pie." While Worf ponders "what kind of name is 'Whoo-pie'?", Dr. Crusher notices that "Whoo-pie" looks an awful lot like [[Guinan]]. When she ponders if "Whoo-pie" and Guinan are one in the same, the entire crew replies with "''Nahhhh.''" As Data explains what the shirts were for (they were given out to donors to the ''Comic Relief'' pledgers), La Forge laments that the 50/50 cotton/polyester blend that comprised the shirts didn't interact well with the [[transporter]], causing them to singe. |

Not doing as Steve tells him but continuing the ''Star Trek'' conversation, Jeff then responds by saying "''Do you remember when Captain Kirk would see a beautiful woman the screen would go all misty? I thought his eyes were steaming up because he was so excited. Every time I talked to a girl I tried to make my eyes steam up.''" |

Keanu Reeves then ask them, "hey, aren't you the two dudes from the T.V. show? You know, that space thing?" and Kirk asks them to try to stay in character. Jay then asks, "when will people stop going to ''Star Trek'' movies? Maybe when they see this clip of [[William Shatner]] musical number." where he sings ''"Raindrops keep falling on my head"'' and [[Patrick Stewart]] is playing the tambourine. |

||
| − | To show Greg that Archie was the better choice for a specific kind of evidence analysis, Nick asks Archie about a particular Trek episode involving a time portal. Archie replies, "''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Original Series]], [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Next Generation]], [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Deep Space Nine]], [[Star Trek: Voyager|Voyager]],'' or ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise|Enterprise]]''?" |
||
| − | === "Monster in the Box" === |
||
| − | Lab Technician David Hodges has a [[cat]] named [[USS Kobayashi Maru|Kobayashi Maru]], in reference to the famed [[Kobayashi Maru scenario|scenario]]. As one of the guys is about to make the ''Star Trek'' reference, another guy cuts him off before he finishes, possibly because uttering the franchise would have raised legal issues with CSI's studio. He calls the cat "Mr. K" or "Kobe." |
||
| − | === "Theory of Everything" === |
||
| − | The team begins finding bodies that have green blood. While it is found that the victims had extremely high levels of sulfur in their systems which caused the green blood, Hodges and DNA tech Wendy Simms argue over the particulars of Vulcan blood. While Hodges believes it is sulfur that makes [[Vulcan]] blood green, Wendy corrects him, saying it is actually copper and revealing herself to be a ''Star Trek'' fan. |
||
| − | === "A Space Oddity" === |
||
| − | Written by former ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|DS9]]'' writers [[Naren Shankar]], [[Bradley Thompson]] and [[David Weddle]], contains a subplot about the remaking of an old science fiction program named "Astro Quest", leading to a murder on a science fiction convention. Hodges, while inspecting a corpse, addresses detective Jim Brass and says "''He's dead Jim''". He turns out to be a huge fan of "Astro Quest", along with his assistant, Wendy Simms. Hodges daydreams about them two being "Commander Bishop" and "Yeoman Malloy" from the show (an apparent spoof of [[Captain]] [[James T. Kirk|Kirk]] and [[Yeoman]] [[Janice Rand|Rand]]). Another part of the episode parodies {{e|The Gamesters of Triskelion}}, and another makes Wendy into an [[Orion slave girl]] analogue from {{e|The Cage}}. The title itself is a parody of the classic title ''{{w|2001:A Space Odyssey}}'' while "Astro Quest" is both a parody of ''[[Galaxy Quest]]'' and ''[[Star Trek]]'' (''Astro'' is a synonym for ''Star'' while ''Quest'' is a synonym for ''Trek''). The subplot, about a young director/producer remaking an old series with a brand new concept, angering fans is a direct reference/parody of the backlash [[Ronald D. Moore]] (who cameos as the first person to denounce the remake) experienced when remaking ''Battlestar Galactica''. |

Those students hence become suspects. In a scene during which the two are working on their script, they discuss a character who has the line "''Today is a good day to die,''" a reference to the timeless [[Klingon]] saying. One of the boys then suggested that that character be black, referring to [[Worf]], played by [[Michael Dorn]]. Delko later mentions how the two have used every cliché in the book. |
||
| − | === "Sunblock" === |

She likes him at first, but can't really stand the idea of what he is. ''Star Trek'' itself is directly referenced when he asks her out for dinner, stating that he is a guest of honor at a ''Star Trek'' convention in Anaheim, and asks "''...maybe you'd like to beam down with me?''" She declines, but he insists saying, "''...lower your shields, we could boldly go where no one has gone before!''" she then says "''Jonathan snap out of it, you're not a Starfleet commander, you're an actor; if you want to ask me out, ask me out!''", to which he replies, "''would you like to go out?''", she bluntly states, "''no, I don't date actors''". One of her ex-husbands mistakenly calls him [[Leonard Nimoy]], and one of her daughters gets really excited about meeting him because "He's second-in-command of the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|''Enterprise!'']] If [[Jean-Luc Picard|the bald guy]] dies..." Frakes' clothing sort of suggests the TNG uniforms and his speech patterns are pure [[William T. Riker]]. She tells him she doesn't want to see him ever again, and he stands outside her house and calls the ship on his cell phone before getting beamed out. |

Lee|Vince Masuka}} laughs and says "He's a [[Trekkie|Trekker]], that shit's straight from [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|''Deep Space Nine'']]." Angel corrects him, saying it's a [[Samuel Clemens|Mark Twain]] quote, to which another cop responds, "Twain was never on ''Deep Space Nine'', he was on [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|''Next Generation'']]." |

Star [[Kelsey Grammer]], who plays Dr. Frasier Crane, had appeared on ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' as Captain [[Morgan Bateson]] in {{TNG|Cause and Effect}} (Grammer is admittedly a ''Star Trek'' fan). Frequent guest star [[Bebe Neuwirth]], who played Dr. Lilith Sternin, also guest-starred on ''The Next Generation'' as [[Lanel]] in {{TNG|First Contact}}. The ''Frasier'' sets on the Paramount lot were also located beside the sets from ''The Next Generation'', ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'', ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'', and the first three seasons of ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]].'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==="Frasier Crane's Day Off"=== |
||
| − | After Frasier overdoses on medication to combat his flu, in his delirium, he goes down to the KACL radio station and locks himself inside the broadcast booth to continue hosting his show.

||
| − | |||
| − | ==="The Candidate"=== |
||
| − | Frasier and Niles support a candidate for Congress only to later learn that he believes he was once abducted by aliens. After deciding that it was probably a one-time incident brought on by stress, the brothers agree to continue supporting him. Frasier says the candidate still needs to seek professional help and asks Niles whether he'd treat him. Niles responds "''I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker.''" |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==="The Last Time I Saw Maris"=== |
||
| − | KACL's resident ''Star Trek'' fanatic Noel Shempsky (played by ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' guest actor [[Patrick Kerr]]), who keeps an autographed photo of Captain Kirk in his cubicle, seeks Frasier's support on a petition to the producers of ''Star Trek'' suggesting a new character: "the all powerful space vixen Rozalinda, four-breasted queen of the planet Rozniak." Frasier signs the petition, much to the chagrin of Roz. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==="Roz, A Loan"=== |
||
| − | At the end of the fifth season, Frasier inadvertently got all of his colleagues fired as the owner dropped the talk format and went to Salsa. Noel Shempsky remained at the station as he spoke fluent Spanish. On his return, Frasier asks how he's doing and Noel replies that he's still working on his English-Klingon dictionary. Frasier then asks how do you say "goodbye" in [[Klingonese]] (Krish-Krush) which Noel doesn't initially pick up the subtle hint. Frasier upsets Roz and in order to make amends, he changes his pompous, ego-centric return speech into one extolling Roz's virtues. Noel discovers the switch and begins reading from it to which Frasier angrily yells "''Krish-Krush, Krish-Krush, Krish-Krush.''" |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==="Star Mitzvah"=== |
||
| − | Frasier seeks Noel's help to learn Hebrew to speak at his son Frederick's bar mitzvah. Noel agrees, only if Frasier can obtain for him [[Scott Bakula]]'s autograph at a nearby ''Star Trek'' convention (one he cannot attend personally due to [[William Shatner]]'s presence and Shatner's restraining order against him). Frasier, however, is unable to fulfill Noel's request. Out of revenge, Noel instructs Frasier in the Klingon language, which he claims is Hebrew. He later learns that Frasier did obtain one of [[Joan Collins]]' wigs from {{TOS|The City on the Edge of Forever}} for him, and is greatly moved, but too late to catch Frasier and admit his revenge plan. Frasier delivers his speech at Frederick's bar mitzvah in Klingon, much to everyone's embarrassment, except for a Trekkie friend of Frederick's who later translates the speech from Klingon to English for Frasier's son, noting it's much more beautiful "in the original Klingon." This is a parody of [[Chancellor]] [[Gorkon]]'s line "''You have never experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon,''" from {{film|6}}. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==="Lilith Needs a Favor"=== |
||
| − | While Lilith travels on an airplane to visit Frasier in Seattle, she sits next to a man (played by [[Brent Spiner]]) whom she describes as "white as a sheet." The man replies "''actually, I'm always this pale,''" a reference to [[Data]]'s pale android complexion. {{incite}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==="The Show Must Go Off"=== |
||
| − | Frasier finds one of his childhood heroes, Jackson Hedley, at a sci-fi convention he attends to buy comic books for his son, Frederick. Hedley, a former Shakespearean actor, has been making a living on the convention circuit ever since he was cast in the television show ''Space Patrol''. Frasier and Niles decide to produce a show, and cast Hedley, hoping that he will be able to restart his career. They soon discover that Hedley is a talentless ham, only they couldn't see it when they were children. |
||
| − | |||
| − | While at the convention, Frasier asks a man dressed as a Klingon for help finding the comic books and thanks him by saying "You're a fierce but helpful people." Roz also runs into Noel and a friend of his; they're both wearing Original Series-era Starfleet uniforms. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==="Star Trek 30th Anniversary Special"=== |
||
| − | Although not an episode of ''Frasier'', most of the ''Frasier'' main cast participated in a sketch during the [[UPN]] special where they were "recreating their audition" for ''Voyager'', although the actors (David Hyde Pierce, John Mahoney; complete with easy chair and beer can, Jane Leeves, Peri Gilpin, and Moose the dog) were playing their ''Frasier'' characters. The sketch had Captain [[Kathryn Janeway|Janeway]] ([[Kate Mulgrew]]) trying to command ''[[USS Voyager|Voyager]]'' with these "wacky crewmembers." However, trouble begins when Roz won't stop talking to an Aldebarian that she is going to have a date with which prompts Niles to quip: "''Sounds like this Aldebarian is about to boldly go where so many have gone before.''" Then, an alien message cannot be received after [[First Officer]] Niles engages a banality filter which keeps ''Voyager'' from being bothered by any messages that are "overly insipid or jejune." When Captain Janeway orders him to disengage it, he laments that he can't even "get my [[phaser]] to stop flashing twelve o'clock." [[Lieutenant]] Daphne suggests using her alien [[telepathy|telepathic]] powers to communicate with the alien ship, but Janeway claims that she's not from another planet, she's just from [[England]]. When she uses her psychic abilities, she finds a strong sense of the aliens expressing a desire to breed with the ''Voyager'' crew, but quickly realizes that she's actually sensing Niles. A Klingon enters the bridge from the [[turbolift]] with Eddie, Martin's dog, and complains he was found on the [[Qo'noS|Klingon homeworld]] digging up azalea bushes after the Klingons just finished landscaping. Martin offers him a strip of [[latinum]] which appeases the Klingon, but claims if Eddie does it again, the Klingons will destroy the [[Federation]], to which Janeway claims "that sounds reasonable." Ultimately, the crew's bickering annoys Janeway to the point that she activates ''Voyager''{{'}}s [[auto-destruct]] sequence and destroys the ship. |

| − | The final Comedy Central-era episode of ''Mystery Science Theater 3000'' features the crew of the SOL adrift in space. All seems normal until they encounter a [[black hole]], a terrified Crow and Tom call to Mike for help. Mike enters, however he is dressed as, and talking like, Captain [[Kathryn Janeway|Janeway]] from ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]''. After saving the satellite from the black hole (addressing Tom Servo and Crow as "Mr. Servo" and "Mr. Crow", another nod to Janeway) he celebrates by singing the song ''Proud Mary'', from which Crow and Servo flee in terror. That episode also features a spoof of the perfection-loving [[Nomad]] called "Monad." As in {{TOS|The Changeling}}, the robot is defeated when he is ejected into space. During the heckling of the movie (which was "Laserblast" which featured TOS-era sound effects as well as a score co-written by [[Joel Goldsmith]]) one of the cast quotes a line from {{TOS|The Savage Curtain}}. |

| − | During the [[Sci-Fi Channel]] era, ''MST3K'' also had many allusions to ''Star Trek''. Many fans believe that the recurring character Observer (Brain Guy) and his species may have been a reference to the [[Talosian]]s, the [[Q Continuum|Q]] or the [[Provider]]s (since they were highly evolved, omnipotent beings, that were simply just brains, whose "bodies" were just illusions). In the episode "Agent for H.A.R.M", Mike was placed on trial for blowing up three planets. The judge used language similar to [[Q]] in {{TNG|Encounter at Farpoint}}, calling Humanity a "savage" and "child-like" species. Furthermore, Mike believed that he was on trial for all of Humanity but was, in reality on trial for himself. |

| − | [[File:STVMST3Kscreenshot.jpg|thumb|Tom Servo, Joel Robinson, and Crow T. Robot (played by fan performers) watching ''Star Trek V: The Final Frontier'']] |
||
| − | Around the time William Shatner released ''Star Trek V'', ''Mystery Science Theater 3000'' was gaining popularity for its skewering of awful old movies. It was a match made in heaven. The only trouble was the producers of ''MST3K'' couldn't afford an 'A' movie like ''Star Trek V''. So it fell to fans to do what needed to be done. Although the host segments are a little brief, the quality is comparable to KTMA-era ''MST3K'' (1988). The invention exchange includes a do-it-yourself Shatnerizing kit, complete with toupee, girdle, and a copy of "Mr. Tamborine Man" which, according to Dr. Forrester, takes on the aspect of the film he was about to show. Forrester then inflicted ''Star Trek V'' upon Joel and the 'bots – including the singing and rock climbing. The episode ended with Frank developing "Toxic Shatner Schlock Syndrome" after having used the Shatnerizing kit. |

Murphy called it ''Star Trek V: Shatner Ruins the Franchise''. Nelson and Murphy, along with Bill Corbett (the voice of Crow T. Robot) also did a RiffTrax commentary for {{film|6}}, and Nelson and Murphy riffed {{film|7}}. Nelson, Murphy and Corbett together riffed {{film|11}}, also, releasing it the day it came out on video. These commentaries can be purchased and downloaded from the RiffTrax website in MP3 format. |

||
| − | In the December 28, 2009 episode ''"Mini Myth Mayhem"'', the second team tested if Kirk's hastily fashioned gunpowder and bamboo cannon from the TOS episode {{e|Arena}} was feasible. After testing, the result of "[[Gorn]] Cannon," as they dubbed the myth, was "Busted." The bamboo wasn't strong enough to contain the explosion, and 32 experimental formulations with the raw ingredients (as Kirk had found on the asteroid) failed to yield the commercial grade gunpowder that was needed for the proper explosive force. Even with the Bamboo reinforced at the bottom and using commercial grade powder, bamboo still shattered, "killing" their Kirk stand-in dummy (whom the team dressed in a [[red shirt]]). The Gorn cutout, staged at a similar distance to the event, was only grazed. |

| − | When creating the sixth season of ''Power Rangers'', the writers decided to create an intergalatic series that would close the first six seasons of the show. The decision to make a space show was finalized after seeing sketches of ''Denji Sentai: Megaranger'' (the Japanese show that ''Power Rangers in Space'' was loosely based off of) of spaceships and the rangers riding surfboards in space. However, the staff later learned that while ''Megaranger'' had space vehicles, in reality, the show never left Earth. The writers decided to proceed anyways with the space angle, and this is reflected in some of the show's dialogue and the sets, some of which (especially the bridge of the ranger's Astro Megaship) are clearly inspired by ''Star Trek''. The show even featured a "simu-deck" that in one episode suffered a breakdown! |

Gus, an admitted ''Trek'' fan, salivates over the prospect of spending time with one of his idols.

It sucks up a pink-colored USS ''Enterprise'' while an exaggerated impression of Captain Kirk can be heard saying, "''Engineering, I must have more power. We're being sucked into some kind of cosmic void.''" |

||
| − | In addition to appearances by many ''Trek'' actors ([[Joe Piscopo]], [[Charles Rocket]] and [[Sarah Silverman]] have been part of the cast, [[William Shatner]], [[Patrick Stewart]], [[Teri Garr]], [[Malcolm McDowell]], [[Sally Kellerman]], [[Brandon Tartikoff]], [[Ed Begley, Jr.]], [[John Larroquette]], [[Corbin Bernsen]], [[Kirstie Alley]], [[Christian Slater]], [[Jason Alexander]], [[Kelsey Grammer]], [[Teri Hatcher]], [[The Rock|Dwayne Johnson]], [[Kirsten Dunst]], and [[Winona Ryder]] have hosted - [[Michael McKean]] was both - and [[Jane Wiedlin]]'s band The Go-Gos, [[Tom Morello]]'s band Rage Against The Machine, McKean's movie band {{w|Spinal Tap (band)|Spinal Tap}} and [[Vanessa Williams]] have appeared as musical guests, as have [[Roy Orbison]] and The [[Beastie Boys]], whose music has been played by ''Trek'' characters), ''SNL'' has parodied ''Star Trek'' many times over the years. |

| − | ==="The Last Voyage of the ''Enterprise''"=== |
||
| − | [[File:John Belushi, SNL Vulcan salute.jpg|thumb|John Belushi gives the [[Vulcan salute]]]] |
||
| − | ''SNL'' first featured a ''Star Trek'' parody in 1976 entitled "The Last Voyage of the ''Enterprise''". It starred John Belushi as Captain Kirk, Chevy Chase as Spock, and Dan Aykroyd as Dr. McCoy. The ''Enterprise'' is pursued through space by a [[20th century]] [[automobile]], "owned by a company that manufactured cookies" (NBC). A passenger from the vehicle (played by host Elliott Gould) boards the ''Enterprise'' and informs the actors that ''Star Trek'' has been canceled. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *"''Most peculiar, captain. I can only assume that they possess some sort of weapon's deactivator, in which case I shall merely render him unconscious with my famous Vulcan nerve pinch.''" - Chevy Chase as Spock. |
||
| − | * "''I don't believe it! God!!! Everybody I know loves the show when I see the show, huh? I have a contract! I have a contract! I want my... Where's my ears? I want my ears back! I want my ears back!''" - Chevy Chase (as Spock) |
||
| − | * "''I'm a doctor, not a tailor, dammit.''" - Dan Aykroyd (as Dr. McCoy) [a parody of McCoy's famous phase "[[I'm a doctor, not a...]]"] |
||
| − | * "''Live long and prosper... Promise!''" - John Belushi (as [[James T. Kirk]]) [NOTE: This is the quote depicted in the photo at right; it references Shatner's Promise margarine ads, which aired around the time the sketch was made.] |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==="Star Trek V: The Restaurant Enterprise"=== |
||
| − | Another parody was done in 1986 when William Shatner hosted. The ''Enterprise'' is bought by the Marriott corporation and turned into a seafood restaurant. The crew is threatened when [[Khan Noonien Singh|Khan]] brings a health inspector to the restaurant, though Kirk resolves the situation by slipping the inspector a bribe. Shatner, of course, played Kirk, Kevin Nealon played Spock, Phil Hartman played McCoy, Victoria Jackson played Janice Rand (now a waitress instead of a yeoman) and Dana Carvey played Khan and voiced Scotty. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Perhaps the most memorable exchange is this one: |
||
| − | :Kirk: "''Dr. McCoy, this man needs medical attention.''" |
||
| − | :McCoy: "''Damnit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a— oh, sure.''" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Another memorable quote is as follows: |
||
| − | :Spock: "''I find it curious Captain, that Khan was betrayed by the very health inspector he employed.''" |
||
| − | :Kirk: "''Never underestimate the power of Human greed, Mr. Spock.''" |
||
| − | :McCoy: "''What he's saying is that perhaps there are limitations to your vaunted Vulcan logic.''" |
||
| − | :Spock: "''Dr. McCoy, would you do me the very great honor of eating my shorts?''" |
||
| − | :McCoy: "''What?!''" |
||
| − | :Kirk: "''Why Spock, I believe you're becoming more human every time! Mr. Chekov, full revolve!''" |

||
| − | [[File:William Shatner, SNL get a life 2.jpg|thumb|[[William Shatner]] on SNL]] |
||
| − | The most infamous ''Star Trek'' sketch was also featured during Shatner's appearance on the show. Not so much a parody, it featured Shatner as the guest of honor at a ''Star Trek'' convention. After being asked a barrage of trivial questions by the audience, Shatner finally berates them to "get a life!", telling them it was only a TV show. After finishing his rant (and being reminded of his contractual obligations by the convention manager) Shatner quickly explains the rant was a reenactment of the "evil" Captain Kirk from {{e|The Enemy Within}}. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The scene apparently caused some fans to believe these were his true feeling for ''Star Trek'' fans, though he has assured them it was only a sketch. The sketch did, however, inspire the title for his book ''Get a Life!'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the intro to this edition of SNL, Shatner quipped that he hopes the Trekkies out there have a sense of humor or "''I'm in deep trouble!''" |

| − | ===Star Trek Democrats=== |
||
| − | The cold open of the March 14, 1992 episode did a combined parody of Trekkies and American Presidential campaigns, as the remaining Democratic candidates, former California governor {{w|Jerry Brown}} (Dana Carvey), former Massachusetts Senator {{w|Paul Tsongas}} (Al Franken), and {{w|Bill Clinton}} (Phil Hartman), visit a Star Trek convention, hoping to sway the audience (led by Chris Farley and Mike Myers) to support them by telling them what great fans they are - but when told that Leonard Nimoy has endorsed Tsongas, Clinton breaks into a rage, screaming ''"He no better than Shatner!!!"'' and breaking the podium. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==="Love Boat: The Next Generation"=== |
||
| − | [[File:LBTNGPicard&Data.jpg|thumb|left|[[Patrick Stewart]] and Rob Schneider]] |
||
| − | Yet another was done in 1994, when [[Patrick Stewart]] hosted, in a skit called "Love Boat: The Next Generation" (parodying both [[TNG]] and ''{{w|The Love Boat}}''). Essentially, it involved the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}} crew running the "''Galaxy''-class Cruiseship Pacific Princess". (The sketch involved a model of the ''Enterprise''-D with a model cruise ship as part of the saucer section.) Stewart, of course, played Captain Picard, Chris Farley played Riker, Rob Schneider played Data, Phil Hartman played Worf, Tim Meadows played La Forge (although he acts more like the character of Isaac from ''The Love Boat'', with his catchphrase, "outta sight!" a double entendre towards La Forge's blindness), Julia Sweeney as Deanna Troi, Ellen Cleghorne as Guinan (acting more like Whoopi Goldberg than the character), Melanie Hutsell as regular "Love Boat" guest star Charo, Al Franken as [[Tog]] the Ferengi (Charo's estranged boyfriend), Adam Sandler as David Brenner and David Spade as Joan Rivers. Instead of Dr. Crusher, however, the sketch featured a cameo by actor Bernie Kopell, reprising his role as Dr. Adam Bricker from ''The Love Boat''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===''Rescue 911'' spoof=== |
||
| − | Another semi-parody, also aired in 1994 involved a spoof of ''Rescue 911'' which was hosted by William Shatner at the time. [[Michael McKean]] played Patrick Stewart, filling in for Shatner. Host Roseanne plays a 911 operator who keeps blowing off callers. The sketch also features a brief appearance and the end of the sketch by Tim Meadows as Geordi. |

||
| − | |||
| − | ===Weekend Update appearance=== |
||
| − | On the May 9, 2009 episode, [[Chris Pine]] and [[Zachary Quinto]] appeared on the ''Weekend Update'' segment of SNL. They tried to explain that the new film fit flawlessly into Star Trek canon, though two Trekkies in the audience (one wearing a red TOS-uniform shirt with [[commander]]'s stripes, the other a t-shirt with McCoy and Uhura and fake Vulcan ears) are clearly skeptical. Quinto, for instance, mentioned that the movie took the time to explain the origins of the [[Kolinahr]] ceremony as it is connected to the fascinating [[pon farr]] marriage ritual. Finally, however, after Pine attempts to explain how the transporter uses the [[Heisenberg compensator]], just as previous ''Trek'' transporters did, but is unable to pronounce "Heisenberg", they admitted they actually had no idea what they were talking about. They also mentioned having been harassed by angry fans and having received threats in a language they could not decipher - either Vulcan or Hebrew. Quinto mentioned having found decapitated action figures in his mailbox every morning, and Chris Pine complained about having received notes tied to rocks that were thrown at his windows, but only scratching them, not breaking them, since they didn't throw hard enough - all of which has resulted in death stares from the insulted Trekkies. Finally, they simply express hope that these fans will still come to see the movie. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the background, a rather familiar voice assures the two that "they will come", and [[Leonard Nimoy]] appears - at which point the two previously angered Trekkies are visibly overcome with joy (combining [[Vulcan salute]]s with a rather un-Vulcanlike display of emotion) - and states that in time Chris Pine will be accepted as equal to the original Kirk, while Zachary Quinto will be viewed as "slightly less" than equal to the original Spock, but "ultimately OK". Nimoy attempts to assure Quinto that fans will like the movie because to not like it would not be "illogical" as host Seth Meyers suggests (having interrupted Nimoy, beaming at the idea of beating Spock himself to the logic-based punchline), but rather "would make them dickheads" - a sentiment that, coming from their hero, the Trekkies in the audience heartily accept. The appearance ends with Nimoy, Pine, and Meyers doing the Vulcan salute. |

Kirk" and the registry number of the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701}} in the classic ''Star Trek'' series. Later, when Tezlov's enemies demand the ''seaQuest'' turn him over, the ID code on the vid-link reads "NCC1701A", referring to the newer [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A)|''Enterprise''-A]] from {{film|5}} and {{film|6}}. |
||
| − | * The bridge on the ''seaQuest II'' was designed to resemble the bridge of the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}} from ''The Next Generation.'' (Specifically, the command column where Captain Bridger, Commander Ford, and Lieutenant O'Neill usually sat resembles the command center where Picard, [[William Riker|Riker]], and [[Deanna Troi|Troi]] usually sat.) |
||
| − | * The chair in the holographic-projection room aboard the ''seaQuest II'' (as seen in such episodes as "Vapors" and "The Sincerest Form of Flattery") is the same kind of chair as the captain's chair from the ''Enterprise'' from {{film|1}}.

||
| − | |||
| − | ==="Dreamland" and "Dreamland II"=== |
||
| − | The two-parter "Dreamland" and "Dreamland II" features several references to ''Star Trek''. While FBI Agents [[x-files:Fox Mulder|Fox Mulder]] and [[x-files:Dana Scully|Dana Scully]] are driving to meet a secretive contact stationed at a classified US Air Force Base in Roswell during the pre-titles sequence of part I, the usually skeptical Scully asks Mulder how they know that their contact's supposedly extensive knowledge of alien life is not "derived exclusively from reruns of ''Star Trek''?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | The plot of the two-parter concerns a tear in the space/time continuum that is repeatedly referred to as a "[[warp]]" and, after Mulder first hears this name and then questioningly repeats it, a character who has knowledge about the anomaly replies with the phrase, "''Beam me up, Scotty''". |

| − | |||
| − | ==="Jump the Shark"=== |
||

||
| − | ==Other TV cartoon parodies== |
||
| − | * Animated series {{w|Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!}} made frequent usage of Star Trek sound effects, namely from The Original Series. |
||
| − | * The 1970s series ''The Secret Lives of Waldo Kitty'' (produced by [[Filmation|Filmation Associates]], makers of ''[[Star Trek: The Animated Series]]''), in which a live-action kitten had cartoon dreams of being various fictional heroes, one of the recurring segments cast him as Captain Herc of the starship ''Secondprize''. |
||
| − | * The cartoon ''EEK! The Cat'' had a parody of ''[[Star Trek]]'' even down to a [[redshirt]] getting hit by a boulder. In the parody, Eek captained the USS ''Shoesuntied'', which is the parody of the USS ''Grissom''. |
||
| − | * An episode of ''Tiny Toons'' had the famous starship (commanded by Plucky Duck) looking for replacement hair for the captain's toupee (no doubt a joke on [[William Shatner|Shatner]]'s alleged replacement hair). A notable line is, "''I'm a doctor, not a barber!''" Another episode featured caricatures of Kirk, Spock and McCoy beaming down to a fast food restaurant to eat. |
||
| − | * An episode of ''Animaniacs'', in a segment titled "Star Truck", included the Animaniacs being beamed aboard the original ''Enterprise'', (albeit done up with monster truck wheels, as per the cartoon's title), claiming the Starfleet delegates who were supposed to be there were "really busy" (at which point you see two [[Andorian|Andorians]], one in a TOS Starfleet uniform, the other in a TOS film tunic, sitting on a couch playing video games), and wreaking havoc among the crew. (The characters are clearly genuine fans of the show, as upon meeting "Kirk", they ask to "''go back to New York in the 1930s,''" where he could "''[[Edith Keeler|fall in love with Joan Collins]],''" who would then die, "''go lookin' for Mr. Spork's brain,''" or [[Harry Mudd]], or {{w|Roger Mudd}}, and Wakko asks to "''swim with the whales.''") Gags included Wakko introducing Scotty to doughnuts (thus causing him to become portly and have a pink frosting mustache), Spork mind-melding with them in sickbay, and then saying their trademark ''"Hel-lo Nurse!"'' line when Uhura enters, and when Khan appears Dot comments, "''Ooooh, it's [[Ricardo Montalban]] and his big plastic chest!''" (an obvious parody of the fan rumor that Montalban's chest in {{film|2}} was a prosthetic appliance, and not his actual physique). Dot later proposes to distract Khan's crew "with a fancy fan dance", riffing on Uhura's dance from {{film|5}}. When the Warners take control of the ship, Yakko takes the command chair and sits on a tribble. Another episode of ''Animaniacs'' contained a segment titled "Karaoke Dokie" which made fun of the singing careers of [[William Shatner|Shatner]] ("Willie Slackner") and [[Leonard Nimoy|Nimoy]] (shown complete with pointy ears). In yet another episode, set on a UFO Marvin the Martian, Darth Vader, and Captain Picard are briefly shown in a waiting room together - part of a chase initiated after Yakko yells ''"Look - it's big, fat Scotty from'' Star Trek!" and escapes when his alien captors look for the engineer. |
||
| − | * The series ''Freakazoid!'' featured a recurring villain, Gutierrez, voiced by [[Ricardo Montalban]] in extended parody of his performance as [[Khan Noonien Singh|Khan]]. References included his proposal of speeding an interrogation by "putting ooey gooey worms in your ears" and the line "''Revenge is a dish best served with pinto beans and muffins!''" One episode featured a short sketch entitled "Ode to Leonard Nimoy" with Fanboy trying to get Nimoy's autograph without success. |
||
| − | * The second season episode "Fear Itself" of the animated series ''Teen Titans'' features the villain Control Freak (a TV-addicted fat teenager) raiding a video store, threatening the shop assistant to ''"admit that ''Warp Trek Five'', which reunited the entire original cast of the classic TV series, deserved to be on your "Favorite Rentals" list"''. When she says that she doesn't even know what ''Warp Trek'' is, he responds as ''"And that, my little [[tribble]], is why you must be destroyed!"'' In addition Control Freak's remote control makes the same sound as the original series transporter in all his appearances in the series. |
||
| − | * An episode of the series ''Ben 10: Alien Force'' is called "Con of Rath", a "turned-around" version of ''The Wrath of Khan''. |
||
| − | * ''Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys'' (a series featuring [[Michael Dorn]] as its archvillain) had an episode set on planet Vasquez 9, whose geology resembled the famous Vasquez Rocks cliff seen in {{e|Arena}}, {{e|Friday's Child}} and numerous other ''Star Trek'' episodes. |
||
| − | * In an episode in the second season of ''Dexter's Laboratory'' entitled "Star Check Unconventional", Dexter (Captain Irk) and two of his friends (Mr. Spork and Doctor McBoy) journey to a convention center to attend a "Star Check" convention, but inadvertently enter the wrong hall and wind up in a "Darbie Doll" convention. The whole episode is a spoof of the original ''Star Trek'' including references to {{e|Amok Time}}, {{e|The Gamesters of Triskelion}}, {{e|The Enemy Within}} and {{e|A Private Little War}} among others. There is also the joke of Dexter calling Dr. McBoy, "Skin" in reference to Kirk's nickname of "bones" for McCoy. |
||
| − | * The cartoon series ''Johnny Bravo'' features a short appearance of Captain Kirk in the first season episode "The Man Who Cried Clown", a parody of the original ''Twilight Zone'' episode "Nightmare at 50,000 Feet" starring William Shatner. The same episode features narration by Michael Dorn. In later seasons one of the main characters, Carl Chryniszzswics is a Trekkie, hence the show features many ''Star Trek''-themed jokes. There is also an episode about the ''Enterprise'' crew mistaking Johnny for Kirk, with Carl as a Klingon and a [[Gorn]] and a [[Mugato]] also present. |
||
| − | * In the cartoon series ''Best Ed'', the title character is a huge fan of a classic science fiction series called "The Mighty Measel Moles", which is a parody of the original ''[[TOS|Star Trek]]'', with a starship resembling the ''Enterprise'' called ''Emphatize'', similar uniforms, and the main hero ("Captain Jim T. Smithee") being a spoof of Captain Kirk. In one episode, Ed goes to a "Mighty Measel Moles" convention. Another episode features the former captain of the ''Emphatize'' bound to a "special wheelchair" resembling an office drawer, and only able to indicate "yes" or "no" with a blinking light, an obvious parody of Captain Pike. |
||
| − | * In the episode "The Deadly Maze" of the animated series ''Chowder'', Gumbo, who seeks vengeance on his old tutor, master chef Mung for firing him, says "''Revenge is a dish best served cold.''" quoting from {{film|2}}. |
||
| − | * A number of animated series, such as ''GI Joe'', ''The Transformers'', ''He-Man'', and ''She-Ra'' made frequent use of ''Trek'' sound effects, most notably the classic "door sound" and parts of the transporter "beaming" sound. |
||
| − | * In episode 4 of ''X-Men: Evolution'', Cyclops tells Nightcrawler, a mutant with teleporting powers to "''Set teleporter to maximum, Mr. Wagner!''" "''Aye, captain!''" "''Engage!''" |
||
| − | [[File:Magistrate Pataki.jpg|right|thumb|The Talosians are coming!]] |
||
| − | * An episode of ''Hey Arnold!'', which was a parody of [[Orson Welles (Narrator)|Orson Welles]]' infamous 1938 ''War of the Worlds'' radio broadcast, included scenes of Helga Pataki and other characters costumed as a group of [[Talosian]]s to scare the locals with a fake alien invasion. |
||
| − | * In the distant background of a scene from the ''Rocket Power'' episode "Blader Bowl", an [[unidentified flying object]] used a [[tractor beam]] to lift a [[whale]] out of the sea, an apparent nod to {{film|4}}. |
||
| − | * Several episodes of the English dub of the ''{{w|Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon}}'' TV series used ''Star Trek'' sound effects. Chief amongst them was when the ''Enterprise''-D door chime was used during the updating of the protagonist's {{w|Pokédex}} device, enabling it to scan for {{w|Johto}} Region Pokémon, and the ''Enterprise''-D transporter, used when the Pokémon "Voltorb" (and its evolved form, "Electrode") used their "[[Auto-destruct|Self-Destruct]]" attack. |
||
| − | * One episode of ''Ducktales'' parodies the classic ''Star Trek'' series; in another episode, when Magica transforms herself into a nanny, the ''The Wrath of Khan'' phaser sound is heard. On an episode of ''Talespin'', when Baloo and Louis are haunted by the ghosts, the Klingon photon torpedo from ''Star Trek: The Motion Picture'' is heard. |
||
| − | * One episode of the {{w|The Weekenders}} features the pizza place being called Deep Dish 9. (an obvious reference to [[Deep Space 9]]) There is also a sound effect from [[Star Trek: The Original Series|The Original Series]] and the waiter says "One Photon Tro-pizza, hold the dilithium." |
||
| − | * On the Nickelodeon series, ''My Life as a Teenage Robot'', several time a group of robots called The Cluster try to recruit, or destroy the main character XJ-9/Jenny, and often quote the [[Borg]] by saying "Resistance is futile". Also sound effect from the series are use regularly. |
