    Have quoted the different characters' lines so many times over the years - Dr. Demento aired on WNOE-FM New Orleans in the 70's long before it went country, and I eventually worked at WNOE-AM. Still might have some cassette copies somewhere with my airchecks, etc. Wanted to listen to the Dr. Demento KraZiness all week long in high school! "We're takin' a shellackin' out here, Cap'n." - I still use this one every time we have a hurricane.

    I have this on cassette from Dr. Demento. To this day I say ‘Ain’t I something!?” At opportune times. Especially at work! Great bit. Thank you for creating a video for it!

    Even if the lips don't sync, still so funny!
    Thanks for this, brings back memories!

    Man, haven't heard this since like 1983 or something. For the longest time, the "yyYYYYES, Captain Jerk" and "I'm Fine, how are you" quotes stuck with me. Nice hearing them again. X D

    Holy crap. Talk about a flashback. When I was a kid I remember listening to this Star Trek spoof on my little clock radio in my bedroom at night on the Dr. Demento Show back in the mid-70's.

    Thanks for puting this together. I remember when I first heard it Paramount was still working on the first Star Trek movie, and Dr. Dimento said something about how much it would cost Paramount to make a movie about this one. By the way I still say "I'm a doctor, not a script writer" when I see Dr.McCoy on Star Trek.

    Sweet! Even if the source clips aren't great quality, the editing work is actually pretty good! As I was born only a year before this dropped, I listened to this on the Dr. Demento show when it was in syndication in the late 1980s. Still nostalgic memories galore!

    I was in 10th grade in high school, living in the hinterlands of Washington state and listening to the Dr. Demento show Sunday nights on a staticky FM station broadcasting out of distant Seattle...it might have been KOL-FM. Catching this sort of stuff, when Top-40 ruled the AM band and way before FM went mainstream, was like going out of the way to watch Monty Python on PBS: You had to have a certain eclectic sense of humor to find and appreciate it which I guess most teenagers didn't have. I remember the next day in Band laughing with about the only other student in my Class-B school (average class size about 20 to 25 students) who knew who Dr. Demento was, over the "What's not there, Mr. Snot?" bits. (Another lost radio jewel of that era was the National Lampoon Comedy Hour.)

    In 1975 Bobby Pickett (known for the 1962 hit song “Monster Mash”) recorded a novelty spoof on Star Trek called "Star Drek" with Peter Ferrara, which was played on Dr. Demento's radio show for many years. (In 1992 'misterdavep' added this video using two VHS VCRs, an old cassette tape recording from the Dr. Demento show, and a handful of Star Trek episodes recorded off the air.) Because the SNL Star Trek parody with John Belushi aired in 1976, "Star Drek" may be the first ST spoof ever made.

    @Druffmaul 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Damn, this wasn't the one I was looking for. I totally remember this one too, .but Dr Demento had another Trek spoof where they encounter a huge "space turkey" which they assume is about to attack the Enterprise and it says "I am an angel of the Lord-" right before they zap it with phasers.

  • @goteamdefense
    @goteamdefense 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I can never make out what Lt Menura says. It’s something like “ the so and sos said we took a shellacking out here.” The lyrics I looked up say, “I dunno but it looks like we took a shellacking…”, but I think that’s wrong. Any ideas?

    I am still looking for the one that there is a party going on. People are getting drunk. Spock is called Smock. Scotty is Snotty. The phone lines are busy. And the operated says the phone line is woozy.
    Lol

    • @lynnpoint6395
      @lynnpoint6395 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I can't remember the specifics of this one but I think the "party" (actually, it's an orgy) is taking place in Engineering. Mr. Scott is actually called Lt. Limey and he speaks with a stereotypical Beatles Liverpool accent. The ship is getting more and more off course much to Kirk's bewilderment, and that seems to be an essential part of whatever plotline there is.

    Transcript:
    Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Boobyprize. Its five year mission: to sell t-shirts, toy phasers, plastic communicators, and anything else we can think of .. to seek out new life in old plots and complications. To boldly go where everyone has gone before -
    Star Drek!
    JERK: Captain's Log, stardate 6935.2. We are in orbit around the planet Schwartz.
    SNOTT: Engineering to Captain Jerk! Engineering to Captain Jerk!
    JERK: Jerk here, what is it, Snotty?
    SNOTT: Captain, the warp drive mechanisms are generating excess antimatter. The pods are overloadin', now if it continues at this rate, I canna be responsible for the safety of the ship!
    JERK: Don't have a spaz, Snotty!
    SNOTT: Ach, but the whole ship's gonna blow itself to pieces, Jim!
    JERK: I WANT ANSWERS, MISTER!
    SNOTT: Well, I tried shovin' a wiener in the warp drive, but it didna do a bit of good. By the by, would ya have a wee bit of mustard up on the bridge?
    JERK: Mr. Schlock?
    SCHLOCK: No mustard, Captain.
    JERK: Analysis, Schlock?
    SCHLOCK: It would appear that Lieutenant Snott is about to eat a wiener without mustard.
    JERK: As always, your logic is impeccable, Mr. Schlock, however I was referring to the emergency in the ship's warp drive?
    SCHLOCK: I would say that the program is at too early a stage to permit solving any serious difficulties, Jim.
    JERK: Recommendation?
    SCHLOCK: Suggest you wait for further plot complication before undertaking corrective measures.
    JERK: Logical, Mr. Schlock, perfectly logical .. Dr. McCoy?
    MCCOY: I'M A DOCTOR, NOT A SCRIPTWRITER!
    COMPUTER: Warning, this is a plot complication .. warning, this is a plot complication .. warning, this is a plot complication ..
    SCHLOCK: Plot complication showing up on ship's sensors now, Captain, I’m switching to visual -
    JERK: What is it, Mr. Schlock?
    SCHLOCK: Computer data’s coming in now, Captain - it's just what we need, a colossal negative space wedgie of great power coming right at us at warp speed ..
    JERK: Uh, Mr. Lulu, commence evasive actions -
    LULU: Yessss, Captain Jerrrrrk!
    SCHLOCK: Evasive actions ineffective, Captain, the wedgie is turning with us and closing rapidly. Estimated time of impact approximately 16.9 seconds. 15 ..
    JERK: Bridge to Engineering.
    SCHLOCK: 14 .. 13 ..
    SNOTT: Snott here, Captain!
    SCHLOCK: 12 .. 11 ..
    JERK: What's not there, Snotty?
    SCHLOCK: 10 .. 9 ..
    SNOTT: I said, Snott here-
    SCHLOCK: 8 .. 7 ..
    JERK: Snotty, give me full power! Get us out of here fast!
    SCHLOCK: 6 .. 5 ..
    SNOTT: Ach, I canna do it - the toilets have backed up into the warp drive, it will take time to make repairs -
    SCHLOCK: 4 .. 3 ..
    JERK: Time? Mr. Schlock??
    SCHLOCK: 2 .. 1 .. wipeout!
    SCHLOCK: Readings are off the scale, Captain, I have not encountered this phenomenon before -
    JERK: Damage report, Lieutenant Manura?
    MANURA: If only [unintelligible] we took a shellackin' out here!
    SCHLOCK: Fascinating -
    JERK: What is it, Mr. Schlock?
    SCHLOCK: The force field seems to have passed through us, and entered the surface of the planet Schwartz. Yet, tricorder readings fail to indicate any such energy from the planet.
    JERK: Opinion, Mr. Schlock?
    SCHLOCK: Insufficient data, Captain -
    JERK: Into the elevator, Mr. Schlock - let's beam down to the planet's surface so I can find an alien to fall in love with before the program's over -
    SCHLOCK: You usually do ..
    JERK: Ain't I somethin'? Uh, Mr. Lulu, you've got the conn -
    LULU: Thaank you, Captain Jerrrrrk!
    JERK: Elevator, transporter room.
    ELEVATOR: I'm fine, how are you?
    JERK: Elevator, I said transporter room!
    ELEVATOR: I'm fine, how are you?
    JERK: Oh, forget it - Elevator to Engineering, beam us down from here, Snotty -
    SNOTT: Aye aye, Captain, you’re locked on coordinates now!
    JERK: Energize, Mr. Snott -
    SCHLOCK: Remarkable - there is no record of any such civilization as this on the planet Schwartz -
    JERK: Look, Schlock, here comes a car .. feast your Vulcan squinties on that driver!
    SCHLOCK: Far out, Captain Jerk -
    GIRL: Mmmm, want a lift, sailor?
    JERK: As a matter of fact, I do. I'll say goodbye here, Mr. Schlock - now you’ll have what you always wanted: command of the Boobyprize!
    SCHLOCK: And you’ll have what you always wanted -
    JERK: What's that, Mr. Schlock?
    SCHLOCK: A bleach blonde in red convertible on planet Schwartz.
    JERK: Ain't I somethin'? Well, say bye-bye to Starfleet Command for me, and I’ll see you on “Hollywood Squares”!
    SCHLOCK: Bye-bye, Jim ..
    [Car drives off]
    SCHLOCK: I thought he’d never go.
    SCHLOCK: Schlock to Boobyprize -
    SNOTT: Snott here, Mr. Schlock!
    SCHLOCK: What's not there, Lieutenant Snott?
    SNOTT: I said, Snott here, Mr. Schlock!
    SCHLOCK: That's *Captain* Schlock.
    SNOTT: Aye?
    SCHLOCK: Make it one to beam up!
