      Edit: Well, this is embarrassing, ...this is NOT Gillian Dobb. Out of Honour for the TRUTH = the woman is in fact an actress from Toronto, named "Razie Brownstone", which makes more sense that they would use local talent where the commercial was filmed.

    I'm in my seventies and I'm here to tell you, I've watched STAR TREK since it hit the TV. I would stay up late (7:30pm), on a school night, and watch it. Then the network dropped it. I was quite upset. Everytime anything Star Trek related, came on, I would watch it. Later years a "Boxed Set" was made available on VHS and I bought the whole shebang. Then New Generation came on. I watched it. Deep Space 9 came out, but it was lame and I didn't mess with it. Then TOS had the movies, then NG had the movies. They were made available on DVD and so was the TV shows, so I have every episode as well as backstage stuff everything possible. I was such a nut about it, my wife bought me a "Communicator" that looks and sounds like the series prop. Of course we all did the Vulcan salute and I remember, I went trick or treating, with a church group, as Capt. Kirk. My mother could sew anything and her sewing machine did embroidery so she made the Star Fleet V symbol on a gold polished cotton naru shirt and navy blue pants. Lord have mercy, that eas over half a century ago. Memories. Nothing like em! But I still forget what I went after and have to go figure what I was doing to remember what I needed.

Having his mom talk to him in Klingon made it even funnier. This time, I made sure to save it in my Humor folder. 😂 I've been a fan since the very beginning. Got to stay up a little later to watch ST:OS with my father and older brother. After my younger brother came along, he became a fan, too. Thanks to the poster who mentioned that the mom had been a recurring character in Magnum, PI. I haven't watched that show that much, but do like it. If my often faulty memory serves me correctly, I think she played the old friend of Higgens, who was in love with him. It was nice to see her again. 😊
    Update: This just showed up in my TH-cam feed again, and I enjoyed watching it again. Having the mom actually conversing with her son in Klingon makes it even funnier.😂

    This is especially funny to me. I have fond memories especially as an elementary school kid in the 90's watching star trek together with my whole family. And my dad's name is Gary 😂. But we never went to conventions. My first convention was as a teen in highschool with my friends and it was more an anime conversation

    OK, that's hilarious. I was expecting some nerd kid from the basement in full Star Fleet uniform, so this was unexpected and LOL funny.

    This took me back, I remember watching this as a kid! Can't remember if I saw it on TV or if it was on TH-cam (maybe this specific video of it) that I watched haha.

    I love the Classic Star Trek TV show, my mother and sister love Next Generation, my brother in law loves Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Picard, my bff loves Voyager, my nephew loves Lower Decks, but we never really were fans of Enterprise or even the other newer Star Trek shows.
