1. Got it.

[SharonAnn]

23. LOL!

[TheBlackAdder]

37. Actually, the Red Shirt meme is incorrect. More executive officers Green/Gold shirts bought it.

Someone with too much free time to do this...

[Demovictory9]

41. did they? whatever the jacket color, Bones never tried to save them..no fancy futuristic medical t

treatment... just "their dead Jim"

only the stars got medical care

[CatWoman]

48. How well do you remember the colors of 'Star Trek'?

[Shrike47]

2. Angela, change your jacket, quick!

[Mister Ed]

3. Okay, now THAT is funny.

Made me laugh out loud.

[Mr.Bill]

4. I'm not a huge Star Trek fan

but I got it.

[Wounded Bear]

5. Ok, that got a chuckle...

Not a huge Trekkie, but yeah the red shirt guy...most folks understand that one.

[CatWoman]

6. Trump is/was The Gorn

[benfranklin1776]

10. Or the Salt Vampire

Hypnotizing its victims before sucking the life out of them.

[Earth-shine]

13. If memory serves, the Gorn claim that we built a starbase in their space.

They were merely fighting back.

Trump is more like the planet killer.

[LT Barclay]

30. Trump is a Ferengi. The only Star Trek characters that are almost as annoying as Trump.

[Leith]

32. A Ferengi crossed with a Cardassian

with a little Kazon in the mix.

edited to add: educated by the Pakled.

[AZ8theist]

40. IMPOSSIBLE.

The Gorn was intelligent.

[TheBlackAdder]

42. He was this guy. . . Fucking Balok

.

[CatWoman]

45. i'll have another cup of Tranya

[Downtown Hound]

49. Nah. Trump is Trelane.

A petulant and spoiled child masquerading as a suave elitist. Throws a whiny temper tantrum when he doesn't get his way.

[Earth-shine]

51. Trelane had better parents.

At least they showed up at the end to discipline him for abusing his "pets" (Kirk and company).

[Lovie777]

7. Red is a very bad color if you want to live . . .

[smb]

54. Maybe A Clarification Would Help....

[Ferrets are Cool]

8. That's hilarious!!

[wellst0nev0ter]

9. Har Dee Har Har

[wackadoo wabbit]

11. I really did laugh out loud at this /nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. Lol!

Yep, the lower-level crew members wearing red were pretty much guaranteed to be toast.

[krispos42]

24. Fun fact:

The Most Interesting Man in the World was a red-shirted extra in Star Trek. And he lived!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

27. Didn't know that!

Just another example of the Dos Equis actor being phenomenal at everything.

[Dial H For Hero]

14. A variation of an old joke, but a good one!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

18. I'd never seen that!

Spock's fists on his hips makes it even more hilarious!

[Dial H For Hero]

31. I think this one's my favorite:

[Buckeye_Democrat]

34. That was another episode that strained disbelief.

But it was still fun to watch!

I think this later Star Trek Voyager episode, when traveling at high speed SOMEHOW transformed people into salamander-like creatures that procreated salamander offspring, crossed the line for me.

[calimary]

47. Yeah, that one was kinda pushing it...

Confession: that episode had me worrying about the three offspring left behind (after Mom and Dad turned back into humans again). How dorky is that?

[Earth-shine]

52. I think this is where Voyager bottomed out.

This ep was truly cringeworthy.

[WinstonSmith4740]

58. Of course!

I mean, he did beat the Kobayashi Maru. Even if he did cheat.

[MustLoveBeagles]

21. LOL

[Bristlecone]

15. Lol.

[catrose]

16. Everyone looks posed, ready to beam down. Of course we saw a red shirt.

[Maru Kitteh]

17. LOL! Angela! Latch yourself onto the captain and DO NOT let go!

It's you're only chance!

[TexasTowelie]

44. I'm sure that she is wondering if she could be closer to Trudeau to latch onto. nt

[Maru Kitteh]

50. Now there is a capital idea! Nt

[Hassin Bin Sober]

19. Scotty wore a red shirt. He was fine. And she has an engineering degree? Yes? Or physics?

Close enough. She’s good.

[Bleacher Creature]

29. I never understood that either, but if an engineering background is key, she's totally good.

[lagomorph777]

20. Oh, no!

Beam us up, Scotty - there's no intelligent life down here.

[MustLoveBeagles]

22. Uh oh

&t=3s

[Peppertoo]

25. That is good.

[calimary]

26. Oh crap. Took me a minute.

And now I’m gonna be chuckling for the rest of the day!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

28. Good one

[ck4829]

33. Uh oh...

[Chipper Chat]

35. She's dead Jim

[denbot]

36. Excellent!

I LOL’d and texted it to my geeky friends.

[ShazzieB]

38. I'm late to the party, but oh yeah, I definitely got it! 🤣

[Demovictory9]

39. lol..hilarious

[SCantiGOP]

43. "Combat" in the 60s

About an Army platoon fighting Nazis in Europe.
Of course none of the regulars could die, so every week we would wait after the cast intro for, “And special guest Star this week......” and we would know that guy was a goner.

[LT Barclay]

55. My wife used to watch Chicago Med and it was

like that.
When she was watching, I'd come in the room and ask "who is this week's DDG?" (designated dead guy) and she'd tell me to leave the room.

[calimary]

46. This damn thread just keeps getting funnier and funnier!

You got me at "She's dead, Jim"!

[smb]

53. I Dunno About This Outfit....

[Mysterian]

56. Merkel is about to meet the Tartokkian shape shifting vampire

or the beautiful but deadly Zeebo plant with poison spitting pods.

[lunatica]

57. The away team

[SCantiGOP]

60. That's another major gripe I've had with Star Trek

When they have to investigate a completely unknown planet where the entire population was just killed mysteriously, who do they put on the Away Team? The second ranking officer, the genius robot who runs the ship, the heads of Security and Engineering, and, for some unknown reason, either the attractive doctor or the attractive ship’s counselor.
If they were to die, all of the top officers would be gone. But don’t worry, there will always be an unknown crew member in a red shirt to serve as a sacrifice.

[lunatica]

64. That's the reason they all miraculously survived everything.

The guy in the red was a necessary sacrifice to logic.

[PatSeg]

59. Biggest laugh of the day!

[Tommy Carcetti]

61. Maybe she's actually just the Plucky Comic Relief.

[GB_RN]

62. That's Awesome!

😂

[reACTIONary]

63. In the 60's when I regularly watched Star Trek...

.... it was on a b&w set. The red shirt thing was not visible. Wasn't until the first movie that I realized there was any color to the uniforms at all. Kind of blew my eyes out.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

65. My oldest brother complained that our parents...

... didn't have a good enough antenna to even watch it. So he'd ride his bicycle for miles to our grandparents' home to see it!

He was always a science geek, like how I turned out too, but Star Trek reruns were plentiful on TV by the time I was watching the show. Hence it seemed a bit extreme to me for anyone to travel for miles just to watch it. He replied, "TV shows generally sucked in those days, so it was worth it to me."

[reACTIONary]

66. Generally they did suck...

... there were some good ones, like Star Trek, Laugh In.... But when I think back on how much time I wasted sitting in front of the tube, it's saddening.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

67. Me too!

My oldest brother probably watched much less TV than me when we were kids. I played outside with friends frequently too, but my impression is that he played outside more than me based on his stories.

[rpannier]

68. A friend of mine and I were watching a baseball game in the 80s

The Cincinnati Reds were up like 11-0 in the 7th.
We were watching the game in a bar. I said we should leave
He said he wanted to stay.
I said the game was over
He said you never know
I said again I wanted to leave and there was no chance for the Giants
He said, "Maybe Kirk, Mc Coy and Spock will beam down."
We stayed
They didn't. The Giants lost

[Buckeye_Democrat]

69. I don't want to derail this thread, but...

... my oldest brother (mentioned above in this thread) said he was often unconcerned that the "Big Red Machine" would lose even after trailing late into games. And he mentioned the Giants specifically, saying their fans must've developed an intense hatred for the Reds in those days because it was like no lead was big enough for them to lose in the end. Not every game, of course, but it was his impression that the Reds overcame big deficits against them especially.
