I have been told that "You don't want to be the guy in the landing party with no name". So that must be a requirement also.

33. My friends and I joked that Kowalski was the "generic redshirt" name.

Now, I guess, it's Scaramucci.

6. Was it Family Guy?

Kirk: "Ok, the landing party is Spock, Bones, Sulu, and you, Red Shirt Guy."
Red Shirt Guy: "Crap!"
Maybe it was Futurama.

19. Holy crap. Waaaay too much time.

[calimary]

34. Looks like that's tailor-made for those of us trekkers who don't have a life!

I could easily get there. LOVE all things "Star Trek" - but must say it's only LIKE, not love, for "Star Trek Enterprise." That one was a disappointment, and I'm STILL trying to get into it, lo these many replays later.

I think my all-time favorite "Star Trek" series is probably "Deep Space Nine."

[Binkie The Clown]

10. LOL! Good inside joke. n/t

[genxlib]

11. There is even a novel

Redshirts by John Scalzi

https://www.amazon.com/Redshirts-Novel-Three-Codas-Winner/dp/0765316994/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1501622200&sr=8-1

It is a snarky and irreverent story about a bunch of young officers on a thinly veiled "Star Trek" type series. They start to wonder why their predecessors had all died horrendous and violent deaths.

It's pretty decent. It won the Hugo Award for best book The first half is really good if you like snarky but it tales off a little.

Even better is that the audio book is narrated by Wil Wheaton which is perfect for both the meta reference and snarky tone.

12. Galaxy Quest:

Guy Fleegman: I'm not even supposed to be here. I'm just "Crewman Number Six." I'm expendable. I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is. I've gotta get outta here.

[drmeow]

22. One of my favorite movies!

"Maybe you're the plucky comic relief."

13. Not all red shirts get killed; Scotty survived .. barely

What guarantees they'll bite the big one is flapping their mouths. For example, Lt Olsen, "I can't wait to kick some Romanian ass!" or just about anything The Mooch said during his ten days of fame.

Any time a red shirt starts tough talkin' his crew mates rifle his foot locker and collect any poker debts.

[rpannier]

26. Spock, Sulu, Uhuru, Bones and Lt Krebwilki (in the red shirt) will beam down with me

Guess which one never made it back

In the 70's and 80's when we played D&D the red shirt was a cursed item

[DarthDem]

27. I Love It!

Particularly since, on the original show, communications was indeed part of operations, and communications officers thus indeed wore red shirts.
