Star Trek's Data: Funny Moments
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ธ.ค. 2020
- All of the funny moments I could find involving Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation (but not any of the feature films.) No particular order but I tried to generally group by theme - Data being too exact, too literal, annoying shipmates, trying to be funny, etc.
Note: As with most of my other Star Trek clip videos there are some quality issues. There are also some segments where the audio track drifted off. I wasn't going for an Emmy here. - บันเทิง

"Could you continue the petty bickering. I find it most intriguing"
Data is my spirit animal
And the subsequent facepalm from La Forge
i feel like this statement made by third parties would stop arguments in there tracks XD
innocently point out the fact they are acting like kids, and they wanna see the temper tantrums cuz its cute and you will all shake hands by the next press conference if a politician, or family gathering or friends get to gather.
but you probably ended the argument before even that, so the time wasted yelling was just you not hireing a therapist or knowing how to sort your emotions. so you vented kinda like a child isent it cute lol
I am not an animal.
For I am a French man.
@@JEM_Fire Nobody's perfect.
That's my favorite Data scene.
He's so good I genuinely sometimes forget that the actor is an actual human being.
Yeah, Brent Spiner is an amazing actor. And he’s a pretty good singer as well.
Truly, Lykos? I never knew that.
@@lykos832f5 I found out a week ago (of this reply) that he released an album in 2008 called dreamland with another singer Maude maggart
@@Mowmauf I love that Album, I used to listen to it while I studied, I’ve got the whole thing downloaded on my phone lol
You gotta love Brent's serious acting 🤣
I love how offended Picard gets at the suggestion that the French language was "obscure"
Mon dieu!
Meanwhile Troy is trying SO HARD not to laugh.
@@jasong9492 She's giving the audience that conspiratorial smile, like "He's mad now. Data doesn't know, but we do"
One of my favorite moments in all of TNG
"Season 2, Episode 3 "Elementary, Dear Data". Captain Picard says "Merde" in French which means "shit" in English." th-cam.com/video/VGzW7zAj_EM/w-d-xo.html
De few c exwdw ed w ce eec
I can absolutely relate to Data rattling off way-too-specific details until everyone around him loses interest and cuts him off.
I'm like him irl
Autism
Data is an autistic icon
No you can’t.
Pretty much describes me
I'm autistic, and Data trying to navigate his interactions with flesh and blood humans reminds me of how I try to navigate my interactions with neurotypical people. I know this isn't exactly the same, but I feel represented nonetheless. I love Data.
I watched Star Trec with my parents as a kid, and I think I only paid attention to parts of it (I have face blindness so keeping track of humans is hard) but watching all these Data clips makes me realize he was probably an influence for my speech. Once I slid off my parents' bed and as I fell I exclaimed, "gravity is working to my disadvantage!" Finally got my autism dx in my 30s. Hahaha.
If there’s one truth in the world is that all of us on the spectrum adore Data.
Hehe I have to blend in 😝😝
Yes, I feel the same.
I am also autistic as is my partner, and I see data in both of us 😂
Can we take a minute to appreciate how Brent Spiner acts when he’s accessing data, he does such a great job acting as an android.
You should have seen him on Night Court!
@Jeff Smith huh?
@@rhocat362 eh?
Absolutely : )
Guy's a Legend : )
Always loved the acting but wondered if this is actually how it would be. It turns out, how I hear people talk to Data is exactly how I hear them talk to their Echos or Google Homes and such, but with fewer swear words. Nearly identical, it's uncanny.
9:00 I love how Geordi was perfectly willing to sit there and listed to Data recite an entire novel
Geordi clearly always got a kick out Data’s antics.
@@adamJKpunk that profile pic 💅
Well of course. He was used to being the one reading out loud. Nice change of pace :P
Geordi is such a nice person. I think he's the only one appreciative of what Data is capable of.
I would definitely listen to data recite an entire novel
The fact no one laughs at his good jokes boggles me. He has some real zingers. Plus, they are really rude to interrupt him at times. He and Spock are two characters that I would love to sit down and discuss strategy and science with.
Spock, Data and Odo. What a trio❤
@@heatherthedutch-american1481 Odo would make a great addition to a discussion of philosophy and I feel bad that I left him out of my initial comment.
@wasnt me I said "characters", not "people".
You could ask Data everything and he'd know the answer 😳
@@heatherthedutch-american1481 oh god the universe would fold in on itself. There’s a reason Odo is on Deep Space Nine, Spock is an Ambassador, and Data is on the Enterprise. To keep them all separate.
Geordie: Here for a trim?
Data: My hair does not require a trim, you lunk head.
Geordie: WHAT?!
Chwat*
Sentient AI turning evil..?
19:50 I never noticed how hilarious that slow turn away was. Brent Spinner was easily the most hilarious person on the cast.
He really was, he's so underrated
@@thesilvershining I was in college when TNG was released. We had "TNG Night" in the lobbies of the dorms (which were quite spartan). Data was very much a favorite from the beginning.
@@LadyhawksLairDotCom I was 12 years old for the TNG series finale. We had a huge party, it was really fun but also emotional saying goodbye to the great show we loved. I miss those days.
Look up his appearances on Night Court.
The only comedian on the cast. It's a pro move to cast him as the android with no emotions.
12:51 “If you attempt to ignite a petroleum product on this ship at 000 hours, you will activate the fire suppression system. And will soon result in a supernova.”
holy shit remind me to never burn midnight oil ever
the jump between those two scenes are perfect
I suppose we will be burning the midnight petroleum on this one....
Yes I thought that was funny too 😆
Adding gasoline to a warp core is NOT recommended lol
God, even when I was watching this show as a kid I just wanted someone that Data could talk with. Everyone is so impatient with him, even when off duty.
And when what's her face mispronounced his name I felt the rage of a thousand burning suns.
Oh, her gig is that she dislikes Data, so she disrespects him by using the "proper pronunciation" of the word.
@@fireknight0146 "proper pronunciation" depends where you are from. In the UK his name is the "proper pronunciation". Other English speaking countries use one or other of them.
@@paulkeith9680 Both pronunciations of data are correct. Brent said his character's name was originally supposed to be pronounced "dah-ta" but Patrick Stewart used the UK pronunciation "day-ta" and it stuck, probably because most people think it sounds nicer as a name.
@@Elly3981 also, we invented the bloody language lol
3:26
I demand they release the "Data buzzing like a fly" cut
Better title would have been “Thank you Mr.Data”
🎶 There once was a lady from Venus, whose body was shaped like a🎶 -CAPTAIN TO SECURITY
Perfectly cut, as everything should be
" Data" was the BEST!
"She took a sonic shower, and in half an hour, was cleansed of every impurity"
-Stolen from a commenter on a different video in which this clip appears
One line I've always loved from Data is when he said "Geordi, I cannot stun my cat". That line just cracked me up.
Someone just let Data ramble
Right?
The only one who didn't interrupt Data during his explanations was Q when he was a human. I found that a nice that change!
Picard letting him go on and on when he was with Lwaxana was great. With the timing he'd usually say yes thank you mister data
As someone with autism the cutting off of when you fall into that flow can be very helpful especially if you’re like data trying to learn better to interact
@@Abysalss I didn't think about it that way, thanks for the perspective!
I love when Data verbally dissects the crew.
“Perhaps you should try to build on your differences” I just witnessed a murder. Is data aware that he just murdered worf? That little nod at the end like ‘I just solved that problem, good for me’
differences?
The shoulder pat at the end just seals it.
12:54
Did NOT know that burning the midnight oil would cause a supernova. Wow!
Dodged a bullet there
That transition was indeed perfect 👌😂😂
7:28
Can't believe Data just killed Worf
I've never watched Star Trek, but i somehow ended up watching these compilations of Data, and i'm loving it :D
Best show 😍
Same here, I fw Star Trek now cuz of it
I am browsing ST clips from YT as for now since nearly a week ago.
Data is the reason I began watching star trek
Then you have a wonderful treat in store when you do watch it
I've always thought that Data was the most important crew member. If they listened to him half as much as they should Starfleet would've been the masters of the galaxy.
Every time they asked him a question that he didn’t know the answer to, they could just ask him to “speculate” and he’d usually be right on the money anyways. Data was so OP in the best way possible.
@@Kamibandit honestly, they could've asked Data how to solve every problem they encountered and he would've solved them beautifully. "Data how do we fight the borg?"
"Well sir, acording to my calculations we have a less the 0.00267% of a chance if defeating the borg. Sir"
If it weren't for Data, they couldn't get out of half the shit they encounter. I've often wondered, how all the other ships manage without a Data?
@@clevestercrittenden2089 ikr, most astrological anomalies should be observed from a distance with scientific instruments. Instead they get giant space orchids, or Space pathogen.
They did listen to him and trust him, however I feel like them saying "Thank you Data" when he'd given enough information was helpful for teaching him how to communicate like a human. Not sure there's many of examples if any, of them ignoring his ideas.
Im sorry but that transition of clips at 12:52 is so perfect: "If you attempt to ignite a petrollium product on this ship at 0:00 hours, you will activate the fire supression system....
....and will soon result in a super nova"
I mean, everything on a starship causes huge explosions so it's not unbelievable
Was going to say that was brilliant
The arm wrestle scene is pure genius
yes. Data just casually beats the Klingon in arm wrestleing and goes back to working on that small computer.
"my timing is digital" - love it.
Lt. Commander Data is honestly, one of the greatest things about Star Trek TNG.
"Data" was one of the greatest Characters in all of "Star Trek" along with "Spock", as well as all of Science Fiction.
@SM-si2ui Well, all the ST spin-offs have a novelty character that makes the show more interesting. For TOS, it was Spock, for TNG, it was Data, for DS9, it was Odo, and for Voyager, it was probably 7 of 9.
@@Elly3981 Agree, although I would say the Doctor in Voyager as well.
@BBakerStreet-id5zz True. The EMH looks and acts more human than Data but his ego can be off-putting sometimes. As for Odo, he's got a good heart but can also be a bit of a jerk sometimes, even to his friends.
My favorite Data moment is in Generations, the stardrive section exploded, the saucer section is going down, and Data looks at the screen at the ground flying closer and closer, and says, "Oh, shit!"🤣🤣
I always thought that was funnier than hell the first time I heard it, I was like "Oh my God, Data swore!!" I couldn't help but laugh when he said that!!😆
@@marinarhettsturgill6085 I know right? Like when Spock learned about swearing in "The Voyage Home."
@@keithaldrich1862 Colorful metaphors.
I also like in First Contact when data says "I believe I speak for everyone here when I say... to HELL with our orders!"
And the life form song!
Brent Spiner was perfect for this role. Imagine anyone else trying to pull off some of these lines.
The first to come to mind was MORK from ORK.
But then S.T.N.G. would have to invent yet another Universe for Robin.
Brent is clearly one of the best actors I've ever seen but I still don't think his talent alone was enough to make his character so popular. I'm sure his personal charm and striking good looks had a lot to do with it as well.
True, although now I really want to see a spoof with the Star Trek TNG actors playing each other's characters.
"Thank you, Data."
Never have such kind words been so consistently rude :)
"Thank you" was just Picard's way of nicely telling Data to shut up. He's more direct with Wesley, though.
I can't believe you didn't include Data's "Vamoose, ya' lil' varmin!" when he lifts Spot off the desk in that one episode
I like how data explained how to take care of a cat, lol
"Ah, I understand the source of you misconception. But in fact this is not sleep wear, and I have no misses. I'm French."
I lost it.
Honestly, being stuck in a pod with data would be fun, he would be an interesting conversation because i think we might be able to just ramble about random things together
Oh, Data. I love you.
Hahaha I love it
“dahta look at this”
...
“Data”
He’s like bitch pronounce it right or not at all
"I reccon the process should take two hours."
"What did you say?"
"WELL SHOOT JEAN LUCK PIC ARD, ARE YA DEAF OR DUMB SON?"
"Howdy commander"
"Y'all must be mistaken."
"Did whut?"
**spits into planter**
**saunters off like a cowboy**
1:03
Its hilarious how even in Crusher's simulation from her brain Picard still interrupts Data xD
It would be great to see any bloopers of Brent Spiner's "big words" sentences.
“Thank you Data.”
One of the most iconic lines.
21:36 is the funniest Data moment I've ever seen
i love that in every scene troy is a data scene she literally can not stop laughing for real. the beard scene is so genuine, i bet she was not informed of what the scene was to get a real reaction out of her
His uncontrollable laughing was so fun to watch 😂
It was great!! Q gave Data a wonderful gift!
@@SM-si2ui I used to wonder why Q didn't just make Data human or give him emotions permanently so he wouldn't need an emotion chip. But then I figure that Q must have had the foresight to know that Picard and the crew would need Data's android abilities to get them out of trouble on many occasions and he would need to be able to shut off his emotions when they became a hindrance so that he doesn't panic in a critical situation and screw up.
I actually find Data quite relatable.
Me too, what does that say about us?
@@rhocat362 it says that the three of us are autistic as fuck.
its funny how much data had in common with a thesaurus
I like how Riker is always polite to Data, except for a few, rare occasions. "Thank you, Mr Data". Haha
"I will not look in your direction
9:42
"Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing."
😂 😆 👍 😂
No question, he’s my favorite character. My mom told me that kids with autism that watch Star Trek are I guess drawn closer to Data. I have autism and he is EASILY my favorite character. I’d have to say my favorite part is him genuinely laughing. That’s just too wholesome ❤️.
16:33 In this scene Picard imitates one of the speakers from the conference, Data's reaction is priceless. A funny moment that should have been in this collection of funny moments.
7:20 If Worf THOUGHT he could beat Data, y'know he would've at this point!
20:53 best charcter interaction on TNG. hands down.
22:06 I stand corrected.
17:16 Dr. Crusher's like "Will, what's happening? Are we in a sketch?"
20:53 Geordi, blind, attempts to flee from an android. Yes, that will work. Woulda been a bit better if he fully bumped into Data, or if Data stopped his forward movement, but I guess he gathered by his voice being so close that he should reverse gears
He's not completely blind, he can see where he's going with his visor but of course it looks different than regular eyesight.
@@sarahberkner True! Though at the moment he isn't wearing his visor, which is why I tease.
When Picard says, "Thank you Data" he really means, "Shut up Data!"
100% 😂
I feel like... my diagnoses of autism means I'm not laughing because Data isn't joking, he's being sincere and earnest and I read him as sincere and earnest. But I keep watching because he keeps being interesting.
edit: just saw the "card counting" clip. Data is speaking my language here.
I'd have to agree when I watched all these moments in the show I never thought it was funny, I did not expect most of the clips to be Data being Data. I actually feel a little sad that people might only see him as comic relief.
I don’t have autism and I agree with you. Maybe I need to watch it with context but I don’t really find these funny.
As someone with autism; I do find it funny, but in the "I can relate" sort of way. I've had moments like this and know what it is like to be stopped mid-ramble. I have also learned through my own life experiences that people without autism tend to find my topics of conversation rather annoying, especially when I try to grasp and understand subjects such as philosophy.
@@MasterArchfiend I'd wager that I'd find a philosophical discussion with you to be delightful, so don't sell yourself short. Sometimes it's just difficult to find people whom you understand and who understand you, regardless of where you fall on the spectrum, or whether you're on it at all. My best friend has schizo-affective disorder and I feel like it's a miracle that we ever even met. Neurodivergence is like skateboarding, it's not a crime, it's actually very cool.
@@Gabeslicor we don't see him as comic relief, mostly just really interesting, and a little bit niave when it comes to social cues to so it is adorable to watch him learn. Thats what makes ot funny to most people, not comic relief, but really just watching as he turns from a socially naive ""child""" to a badass science nerd
8:40 this speaks to all cat owners across the planet.
Somewhere, there has to be a blooper where in at least one take, Data’s cat claws the prosthetic makeup right off of Michael Dorn’s face and head as he’s attempting to hold him. Any Klingon would be afraid of holding a domestic housecat, let alone a feral cat.
You must be an American. ):
@@chiasanzes9770 what the fuck are you talking about? Lol
Too bad they cut out a part of the scene that made it even funnier yet. When Worf turns around to leave to room he has a sneezing fit because apparently he's allergic to the fuzzy little bugger.
I wept at an Ode to Spot. It was beautiful.
Data saying "Perhaps you would be happier in another job" to a character played by Denise Crosby cuts pretty deep now that I'm familiar with the production dramas of the first season.
Brent Spiner did such a great job that I think people started to believe that he really was an android. Makes no sense to me otherwise why he didnt get any awards for the most amazing acting.
19:04
I could never tell if this scene was Data actually being serious or making his first successful attempt at humor.
"I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations." *Purring!* Lol
Data is one of the best characters in the Star Trek universe. One of my favorite Data moments is when Q makes him truly laugh. It made me so happy!
Brent Spiner was so gorgeous and sexy back in the day. His smile and laugh could melt your heart ^^
When I ask Google Assistant a question and it reads the entire Wikipedia page.
13:27 the birth of a meme.
When Riker says "What no seconds?" And Data just gives him that bitch face
Data, my favorite character on TNG. Love how he's always trying to become more human.
Riker, after shaving off his beard, says to Data, smoother than an androids bum", Data rubs Rikers face and gives the most Comical grin, and shake of the head, (nah! ). Super funny.
I love Data. He's my favorite character.
...10 months, 9 weeks, 16 days...
Not sure that's how that works.
I W I L L F E E D H I M
...to what?
Data defining everything is so cute lol
It is why I like Data the most.
22:20 was the final straw, im going to die now so I make sure I remain happy forever
7:02 Those two just looked so alarmed at Data's statement right there! XD
"The cats out of the bag"
"Spot?"
10:53 🤣😂🤣 so happy this was included! On of his most savage moments. I can’t tell you how many times I rewatched this little part with TNG was on Netflix ❤
Arguably , one of the best characters ever to grace a TV screen.
22:31 one of my most favorite scenes
10:25 Professional Wrestling unwritten rule #42.9-b: Never use a headbutt against opponents from Samoa or that are Android.
guy walks into a doctor's office, and the doctor tells em, you need an operation, the guy says,I want a second opinion, so the doctor says, ok your ugly too! Badoomboom.
Data is the funniest one in tng
I could listen to Data listing synonyms all day
Hahahah!!You have my favorite interaction! DATA roasting Picard on his god awful painting was golden! 🤣🤣🤣
"Could you please continue the petty bickering?"
Oh my god someone clip this
I would have loved to see lore encounter spot and just become immediately infatuated with him.
Doesn't hurt it or anything just is like, "you know, I get it."
8:45 Excellent bit of acting from Brent there
I love Data so much I think he made a good part of star trek.
The laugh he gets from Q is perfect.
"... The Italians, Green, white, and red, the British..."
Captain Jean Luc Picard, avid Frenchman "THAT'S ENOUGH DATA!"
In the future I bet he will be a popular character with IRL androids.
Never ask Data the time. He will build you a quantum clock.
I love how Guinan just says "stop."
Damn whoever wrote Data's line was good at predicting the future. He is just as thorough and annoying as my Google home when you ask it a question.
"We are presently generating 12.75 billion gigawatts"
*Alarm noises*
DAMMIT DATA
Why is everyone so rude to Data :(
I know! stop being mean to data 😔
It's in the script, dear Vicky.
Innocent juxtapositions of an idiot savant.
But seriously y'all. If Data was truly funny, would the Universe shake from all the belly laughs?
If you think that's rude you should see how they treated Wesley crusher but then again he was annoying lol
@@fm00078 Just a remark, my dear. No need to write ma a thesis about it
@@Gold6240
That's AMAZING, 23 words is a thesis.
. 🙄
the only appropriate way of looking at data is the way guianan looks at him. endearment and awe.
Data is easily my most favorite character on this show.
He really was the best, Brent Spiner was perfectly cast
Brent Spiner was funny as hell in Next Generation. There must be whole rooms full of out takes where other actors just couldn't keep it together while he was dead panning the scripted dialogue like a boss. :D
Spiner loved pulling stage pranks for comedic effect and dramatic flair. And he was often allowed to get away with it because he knew how popular he was and that the show absolutely could not do without him.
