The little details in this make it absolutely fkn superb. The red-shirt transporting into the rock popped me so hard. 😂😂 How does this not have more views?
I like how they did the glow around the woman when we first see her and the boxes behind the Spock character that let you know he was behind the attempts to kill her.
I noticed that too. Also the sign for "Rottenberry's Fresh Fruit" after Krok and Scott land in the city. The apologies at the end, too. I agree; superb.
Red Shirt (Rock) guy is Ensign Bill's son. And you would have to remember that from an early, early Family Guy episode. This -> 2:39 is the Wilhelm Scream, BTW.
Love how an original story element is brought in (the giant statues), and then not used. Clever. There is just so much passion on display here, that I can't come up with anything better than 'WOW'. Kudos and sincere admiration to everyone involved.
@kellyq21 the original Harlan Ellison story includes giant statues...they spoke - not the gateway as in the show....irlt was decided that they were too pricey to gilm, and so we're never shown, and the gateway spoke instead.
@@grindelston5968 Too bad when Discovery has the opportunity to introduce the ancient giant statues in Guardian of Forever (they had the CGI and budget to pull it off), they too chose to ignore Ellison, and went with "Carl" instead. Just another reaosn to feel "burned" by Discovery. (but it still does Roddenberry better than Foundation does Azimov - even if only ever so slightly)
I think Harlan Ellison would have loved this. He wrote some books that could have been considered comedy. This was fantastic. Especially Mr. Spott's eyebrows. 😅😂🤣
Only someone who truly loved the original could possibly do this to it. I hope you're as proud of this as you should be; only Mad Magazine could have come close.
"He's a briquet , Jam" 😎 The main crew not even noticing the red-shirt dying immediately is classic Trek. The little fight/action choreography was excellent "Edith Keester" subtle risque the "In Search of" cut was spot on too.
I never quite understood that, it's such a beloved episode. After all, this story concept was directly related or lifted from Ray Bradbury's short story 'ASound of Thunder'- definitely a concept worth retelling...
@@stevenjones6780, Ellison's version was (not surprisingly) much darker. Just for example the drug that set the whole plot in motion was being smuggled by a crew member. What better job to transport illegal drugs between planets, right? Roddenberry vetoed that idea; I think it would have been a much better story element. All the changes to Ellison's original story were similar.
Honestly this has been the best parody I've seen! And it's so cool! I'm so happy that youtube recommended it to me.This definitely made my day, your effort in sharing this episode is greatly appreciated. ✨️🖖💙
I hate to use this phrase but OMG that was hilariously cheesy. Kudos to the folks that put this together, I need more laughs like this in my life. Thanks again
I can’t stop laughing 😭🤣 what the hell…I love it! 😍 We need more Star Trek TOS spoofs, parodies and reboots out there like this, because this is freakin golden. ✨
"Murderers! Politicians!" Lmaooo! You gotta do more of these! This parody of ST:ToS is brilliant. The classic comedic "triple" is utilized wonderfully!
I haven’t belly laughed this much in a long time. I cracked up when I noticed the red shirt arm sticking out of the rock after beaming down. Bravo, bravo. Wonderful writing!
I'm flabbergasted that I never knew about this series you've done! Every one of them is so detailed I can't imagine the time put into them. Great job with the voices!
The great tragedy is only 57K views at this stage! Liked, loved and subscribed. More please! Not only did you parody a classic, iconic episode of original Trek, the tiny details, visual gags and more are brilliantly conceived.
Outstanding! Hilarious! Had to keep backing it up because of laughter interrupting the next joke! Way too funny! I absolutely love this! BRILLIANT! The end credits totally Awesome!...👍👍👍👍👍 Bravo!
"Then I stepped into a BEAR TRAP that was placed under Edith's welcome mat." "Clearly an amazing coincidence." As He says this We can see boxes on the table behind Him. One is marked "ACME Bear Trap", the other "Happy Funtime Roller Skates"😂
Edith Keeler fascinated me how she knew what the future held. A true seer. And how one little thing changed history up until it was corrected. Quite a thought provoking episode.
Just about 2-and-a-half minutes into this...and I'm totally hooked! Once the Doctor starts ranting about "murderers, assassins, telemarketers", I knew this was going to be golden. (Oh, My) It makes all my planned parodies about every time the War Pigeons are mentioned, look like amateur satire material. (Coo-Coo!) 🐦
Thanks, but I have to confess that all the puppets are computer generated, so I'm animating them instead of puppeteering them. In fact, I built in a little upper jaw movement just so it doesn't seem too mechanical. :-)
@Doodles68 That is a dying art , my friend - thank you for keeping the old skills alive. There's no reason why traditional puppetry and computer modelling can't both exist today. Both require great talent.
Fantastic work here. Thank you very much for this. I love so many of the gags in this, but I especially love how Spott appears to try to right the time line by "killing the Keester" himself. (Allegedly.) Quite a character development for the devil-faced science officer! 😂
@@eddieboggs8306 yeah, it even caused trouble for the show when Gene was still trying to get it off the ground. Some TV executives didn't want to put the show on the air because of Spock looking somewhat devilish.
Have been re-watching the original series lately, and now my wife (who has never even heard of it) got hooked on it out of the blue. Loved this short was amazing, it's a perfect parody! The puppets only make it better.
Scotty: 'What happened Captain, you only just left.' McCoy: 'It was 35 years for us.' Spock: 'It would've been 18 with good behaviour Doctor.' McCoy: 'That guy had it coming to him.' Ha, ha, ha.... I cannot stop laughing at that sceen, that is simply hilarious. Thank you good sir, well done. Well done indeed. Cheers... Live long and prosper... :)
Fantastic writing....so enjoyable, thank you! The characters were portrayed superbly, and the dialogue between each other was fantastic, as was the story line. Awesome.
12:17 "You cannot have your fate, and EDITH too"
What a line, bravo script writer, bravo 👌
Yeah, that was some incredible writing, and ludicrously funny. 😂
It's from Great Space Coaster. th-cam.com/video/ceHbkjKQ3vg/w-d-xo.html
That was a rather good line.
Pausing the video here - don't know how they'll top that one!
Harlan will NOT forgive you .. but you're in good company ;)
I thought the McCoy/McGruff impersonation when he said, "Assassins! Murderers!" was spot-on.
I loved the: "Politicians" part best! 😊
Telemarketers!!!
You mean, “Mr Spott” on.
And the spots were on him too!
Kirk saying "You had an adopted sister that started the war with the klingons!" while viewing history thru Guardian. Hysterical!
A nice homage.
Hopefully they correct that timeline also!
I missed the reference the first time I read this comment and in the video. Caught it when I saw the comment while looking for another one!
Her name was Wadda B'Itch
The poster on the wall behind Krok and Spott that says "Rottenberry" gave me a reason to live. 😁
Totally lost it at"...you cannot have your fate and Edith too." 😂😂😂
The little details in this make it absolutely fkn superb. The red-shirt transporting into the rock popped me so hard. 😂😂 How does this not have more views?

Man,I laughed out loud at that sight gag !!! TOO-funny. LOL.
Yes, the TARDIS in the background when they first reach New York was dang funny!
I noticed that too. Also the sign for "Rottenberry's Fresh Fruit" after Krok and Scott land in the city. The apologies at the end, too. I agree; superb.

" guess You won't be needing that electric razor"-that was great!
This is fantastic! I hope this gets shown at Star Trek conventions, and that somehow you are compensated for all the work this must have taken
.. and Not get sued
try *Star Trek Aurora* and *Adult Wednesday Adams*
Some entities have no sense of humor. D_sn_y?
its satire have a laugh and its frakkin awesum
Set phasers on funny, you stunned me with this parody! 🖖

Ohhh, thank you for explaining that!
Haha, very clever Easter egg!

Just another reaosn to feel "burned" by Discovery. (but it still does Roddenberry better than Foundation does Azimov - even if only ever so slightly)
The red shirt ensign who teleported into the rock got me! 🤣♥️👍
I've always wanted to see that happen in the show!
There were lots of great passover eggs tucked away. Did you notice the star wars and lost in space intros up on screens on the bridge?
I have just gotten to that part. Hilarious! Especially with the other red shirt deciding no to say anything.
I think Battlestar Galactia did it first, but with an entire Raider.
I laughed, I cried, I hurled. PLEASE MAKE MORE THESE. The Spock and McCoy voices were perfect :D
Spocks ears are perfect.
I think Harlan Ellison would have loved this. He wrote some books that could have been considered comedy. This was fantastic. Especially Mr. Spott's eyebrows. 😅😂🤣
Only someone who truly loved the original could possibly do this to it.
I hope you're as proud of this as you should be; only Mad Magazine could have come close.
Agreed 💯
Absolutely terrific and hilarious. I was laughing so hard. Well done bravo 👏🏻
"Captain, this appears to be yet another example of the excrescence of human illogic........".
AND...drumroll please! Bette White made Star Trek!❤❤❤❤🎉😂
The fact that Mr. Spott was wearing his cap as a mask too funny..
Love the parody puppets! Great re-telling of this classic Trek episode.
Yes. What a paradox: An animated puppet.
If Harlan Ellison were here and he saw this, he'd be laughing with victorious delight.
He would sue...
Complete with two, count 'em, two Wilhelm screams! Genius!!
I absolutely lost it when they did the reference to ‘In Search Of’!🤣🤣
"He's a briquet , Jam" 😎
The main crew not even noticing the red-shirt dying immediately is classic Trek.
The little fight/action choreography was excellent
"Edith Keester" subtle risque
the "In Search of" cut was spot on too.
Love that message to Harlan at the end - he HATED what they did 2 his episode and would've loved someone taking the piss out of it like this!!!

Exactly! Harlan has always been my Spirit Animal. Im imagining what hed be saying about AI ( I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream!)
@@joangordoneieioHarlan definitely was prescient about AI's dangers, even if he didn't forsee all the "countries as beautiful women" shorts.
absolutely superb. Top notch score. Gets close to Star Trek IV without ever quoting it.
I was quite impressed by the references to the original script. Then you threw in "In Search Of"? Magnificent!
Funny, and very clever...!! Very well done and written...!! A pleasure to watch...!! Congratulations!! I'll share it...!!
I love the way you put, Dr Who's TARDIS in the background for a second! So funny 🤣
Outstanding. I wrote a book about the original series, and City was my favorite episode.
.ine also. With Joan Collins.
The "In Search Of..." reference was AWESOME! I watched that show as a kid, and it often scared the daylights out of me! 😂
Now *this* is Trek!! I love all the call-backs to Harlan Ellison’s original script. You did this episode proud! Subscribed, liked, and sharing! 🖖 ❤😂
Huh. I've read Ellison, and I have met Ellison, but I did not know that he wrote Star Trek scripts.
“You cannot have your fate, and Edith too”. 🤣🤣
Honestly this has been the best parody I've seen! And it's so cool! I'm so happy that youtube recommended it to me.This definitely made my day, your effort in sharing this episode is greatly appreciated. ✨️🖖💙
Absolutely. Ditto.
Stone Trek best this is cute.
This is being recommended to my Trekker best friend today.
I hate to use this phrase but OMG that was hilariously cheesy. Kudos to the folks that put this together, I need more laughs like this in my life. Thanks again
The city on the edge of forever is one of my favorite original series episodes. Really funny!😂 I couldn't stop laughing really great will share!
Great writing! Classic parody! Thank you!
I can’t stop laughing 😭🤣 what the hell…I love it! 😍 We need more Star Trek TOS spoofs, parodies and reboots out there like this, because this is freakin golden. ✨
"Murderers! Politicians!" Lmaooo!
You gotta do more of these! This parody of ST:ToS is brilliant.
The classic comedic "triple" is utilized wonderfully!
"Telemarketers!" 🤣
It's been a year, but the algorithm finally got around to sending me this gem.
Simply delightful!
Thank you for making this!
As a life long Trekkie, I approve! Loved all the little inside jokes & Easter eggs. Well done!
FREAKEN GENIUS! I need more of this!
You cannot have your fate and Edith too. Wonderful.
I haven’t belly laughed this much in a long time. I cracked up when I noticed the red shirt arm sticking out of the rock after beaming down. Bravo, bravo. Wonderful writing!
I’d give an extra thumbs-up for the “fate and Edith too” joke alone.
Genius!!
"Telemarketers!" This is as good as one of the Sex Trek episodes with Randy Spears as Captain Quirk. Liked and Subscribed.
I love that it cuts so deep, like elements of Ellison's original script being present in the distance, but opting to look at the space donut instead.
Bravo! Love the shout out to Harlan Ellison.
THANK YOU for going up side down. In the Star Trek universe space ships are always upright even though there is no such thing.
A very humorous parody of my favorite episode. Do more these are great.
Haha! That was great - love all the little easter eggs too! :D
I loved it more than anything put out by the studios in the past several years.
I'm flabbergasted that I never knew about this series you've done!
Every one of them is so detailed I can't imagine the time put into them.
Great job with the voices!
Love the running gags with the Starship elevator.
Spott's knit cap just had me dying. 😂😂😂
The great tragedy is only 57K views at this stage!
Liked, loved and subscribed.
More please!
Not only did you parody a classic, iconic episode of original Trek, the tiny details, visual gags and more are brilliantly conceived.
This was awesome ! Thanks for making it.
An absolute masterpiece! Funny, creative, well done!!
That was fantastic. I *almost* didn't click on it. Never seen this channel before. I hope there's more.
STALLED TREK: AXED WEE ARE. Send up the lawsuit against Star Trek: Axanar
I almost didn't either! So glad I did! I almost died laughing!
Childish? Infantile? Puerile? Hell yeah - haven't laughed this long 'n loud for ages - thank you & more please.....
Outstanding! Hilarious! Had to keep backing it up because of laughter interrupting the next joke! Way too funny! I absolutely love this! BRILLIANT! The end credits totally Awesome!...👍👍👍👍👍 Bravo!
The way the alternate future comes around in this is just impeccable xD
Wonderful! So many perfect details show your love and joy for good writing.
Clearly the Burroughs computer did all the hard work, deserves top billing. :)
Missed opportunity to say “Hello, computer?!?” to the Fakentosh on the bench, though.
"Then I stepped into a BEAR TRAP that was placed under Edith's welcome mat."
"Clearly an amazing coincidence." As He says this We can see boxes on the table behind Him. One is marked "ACME Bear Trap", the other "Happy Funtime Roller Skates"😂
"That's interesting, Spock, but let's go look at this Stone Doughnut instead." LOL😆
This has made my day Fantastic!!!! I love these and today I get to watch a new one Awesome!! Thank you for creating this wonderful movie❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
Edith Keeler fascinated me how she knew what the future held. A true seer. And how one little thing changed history up until it was corrected. Quite a thought provoking episode.
I hope he makes more episodes! Hilarious!!
Mr. Spott: "Conjecture...she's a kook."
TOO FUNNY!
This is very well done. Thank you kindly for your art.
Just about 2-and-a-half minutes into this...and I'm totally hooked! Once the Doctor starts ranting about "murderers, assassins, telemarketers", I knew this was going to be golden. (Oh, My) It makes all my planned parodies about every time the War Pigeons are mentioned, look like amateur satire material. (Coo-Coo!) 🐦
I watched every episode as it originally aired and it's still by far the best of the Star Trek series.
I LOVE how they put "In Search of..." in the episode!! 💜 This is AWESOME!!
love the "Time Tunnel" promo.
As puppeteer/ventriloquist, I applaud your puppetry skills! The lip synch and bottom jaw only movement are very impressive. Keep it up!
Thanks, but I have to confess that all the puppets are computer generated, so I'm animating them instead of puppeteering them. In fact, I built in a little upper jaw movement just so it doesn't seem too mechanical. :-)
@@MarkLargentObviously your computer went to the "William Shatner School of OverActing"!!!😂😂😂

That is a dying art , my friend - thank you for keeping the old skills alive.
There's no reason why traditional puppetry and computer modelling can't both exist today. Both require great talent.
Thanks for this. As a TOS fan, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I remember this episode with Joan Collins. Well done.
Absolutely Brilliant and funny! Make more!
Well done sir. From start to the very end. Loved the photo's in the end credits!
Fantastic work here. Thank you very much for this. I love so many of the gags in this, but I especially love how Spott appears to try to right the time line by "killing the Keester" himself. (Allegedly.) Quite a character development for the devil-faced science officer! 😂
Spock always made me think he was the reputation of Satan .
@@eddieboggs8306 yeah, it even caused trouble for the show when Gene was still trying to get it off the ground. Some TV executives didn't want to put the show on the air because of Spock looking somewhat devilish.
Even the end credits are great. Well done!
That was a gas! Thanks. So many inside jokes to see. I loved it.
Great parody.
This series is now competing with Star Wreck, the Pirkinning as my favorite Star trek parody.
I had heard this production was really good, but was not ready for THIS! Wow! Well done to the obviously very talented team👌✔👍
Thanks!!
Have been re-watching the original series lately, and now my wife (who has never even heard of it) got hooked on it out of the blue. Loved this short was amazing, it's a perfect parody! The puppets only make it better.
This is genius level satire and entertainment!
Amazeballs, keep em coming! I laughed my (bleep) off!
Brilliant and a must watch for all genuine classic TOS fans
haha just spot on excellent. Animation and the writing. I hope you get the Million views , you deserve.
I didn't know what to expect but this was fantastic!
Well, this was truly outstanding. Right down to the end credits.
Scotty: 'What happened Captain, you only just left.'
McCoy: 'It was 35 years for us.'
Spock: 'It would've been 18 with good behaviour Doctor.'
McCoy: 'That guy had it coming to him.'
Ha, ha, ha....
I cannot stop laughing at that sceen, that is simply hilarious. Thank you good sir, well done. Well done indeed. Cheers... Live long and prosper... :)
Lol.
MURDERERS!
ASSASSINS!....
SNITCHES!!!
Hilarious and wonderful production value! Congratulations and well done!
This is awesome, a whole new way of enjoying this episode from STTOS.
Holy shit, it's like the parodies my brother and I used to make back when we were kids but with StarWars instead
Gee, this is the best thing to watch since Walter Cronkite. It makes you wish there was another pandemic so we could all sit home and watch these.
The Wilhelm scream was gold :)
This is hilarious! 🤣 Excellent! Bravo! More please! 🖖
Fantastic writing....so enjoyable, thank you! The characters were portrayed superbly, and the dialogue between each other was fantastic, as was the story line. Awesome.
Bravo! Bravo! What more can I say. Thank you!
Well done, and even doing the beginning and ending credits. My hats off to you!
Mr largent you are a genius! Fantastic show!
