Love Trek humor. I wish they would have included Robert Picardo in this, since I believe he is one of the funniest actors to every be a principle cast member on a Trek series.
@@willdwyer6782 One of my favorite episodes of Voyager ("Body and Soul" in Season 7) is the one where Seven, The Doctor, and Kim get captured by the villains of the week and in the process of being captured, they have to hide the Doctor because this race of people are the ones that are xenophobic about holograms. Anyway, they quickly decided the best way to hide the doctor was to upload him into Seven's borg neural implant and so most of the episode is Jeri Ryan having to play Seven as if she is 100% possessed and controlled by The Doctor. It is simultaneously one of the most brilliant acting performances and the comedy was hilarious. Not that I wasn't already a fan of her, but that episode really made me realize how great an actor Jeri Ryan is. I've re-watched that episode many times and her performance is flawless. I fully believe that The Doctor is inside of Seven's body the entire time!
@@willdwyer6782 What freaked me out was when I realized Picardo played the werewolf on The Howling. He was creepy and scary. Then as you say he is freaking hilarious.
Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you're stoned like me atm then you can watch all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my brother recently =)
_Guy walks into the doctor's office. The doctor tells him you need an operation. Guy says "I want a second opinion." Doc tells him "Okay you're ugly too". Badoom Boom!_
@@porpus99 And said by Data in 'The Outrageous Okona' when he's trying to master humour. Coupled with Brent Spiner's brilliant hand movements, arguably one of the funniest moments of the entire show.
Any opportunity to see Brent out of his Data getup is a treat. Even in casual conversation you can pick up on his talent. I hope we get to see some new shows (outside of trek) with both Brent and Jonathan!
YES - "Data's Day" is one of the top 5 or 10. There are so many good episodes on TNG. I hope Wil Wheaton has a lot of success with this show he host! The TNG guest are great!
You can always tell when Johnathan Frakes is directing no matter which interation of Star Trek he directs. It's always a bit lighter and has more subtle humor. That being said one of my funniest recollections from TNG is when Geordi suggests that Data should use a phaser on stun to train Spot.
Excelent interview Wil! All of you guys were on fire today, but above all you guys are taking Trek in the right direction thank you! I can't believe Wil knows all the collectables, there is too many to remember them all Lol
it really goes back to the original series. the interaction between spock, kirk and mccoy is so full of irony and humor, that wants you even more to be engaged with the characters.
This is a great panel. I have always felt that Star Trek was one of the funniest shows. The humor could be really funny, tongue in cheek. Definitely fairly self aware humor too. The Ferengi on DS9 were always hilarious, definitely more on purpose. Martok and Worf could be laugh out loud too. Thanks for the fun and interesting panel. Glad Paul took time off from his Confederate Navy reenacting to do this panel.
Levity and Character development is really what makes star trek. Its one of the biggest things that set it appart from other sci fi space operas. The action, effects and lore came secondary to the characters and writing, one of the things i love about it.
He already was back then (early 2000s). I think he always believed that Star Trek is just one step in his career and wanted to be much more as an actor. He played in Independence Day the crazy scientist and that's about it. He was and is stuck with Trek geeks and fandom. Now with the last episodes of Picard he had to play Data once again, and he seems to have made peace with the fact that not much more will come up in his career. Everything else he got was small roles and parts in lesser TV series.
frakes brought such a sense of natural comedy and timing to ryker in the first season of picard-" u think i was just gonna sit in the woods and make pizza while u had all the fun? or something like that
My thoughts on Wil's last (brilliant) question, I personally feel that our intense focus, as fans, is also due to wanting to learn some new tidbit or information (gossip) about our beloved characters! They have been created over such a long period of time, and yet any new show or interview can possibly give us a new 'fact' about them, that we didn't know before. Even something as bland as Riker's favorite food, or Data's favorite memory. Love to you all for what you share with us! ♥♥
My favorit funny moment is when Gordi is getting shocked by a panel in engineering and data throws him across the room and the look on datas face is priceless
I think the episode Mike McMahon is talking about where Geordi is in a tree is The Last Outpost, Season 1 Episode 4. Geordi Materializes upside down on a planet and his foot it caught in a high bush that looks vaguely tree-ish.
THe opening joke (Encounter at Far Point) I remember is Picard getting splattered with holographic snowballs "accidentally" by Wesley, or Data trying to whistle.
I had the Enterprise D bridge play set the engineering set and the transporter and all the figures. TNG was my childhood I still watch it and you guys are the best thank you. Q said the funniest thing in tng Q says to worf very clever worf eat any good books lately? I was in tears 😂😂😂😂😂
I thin one important thing McMahan said is ensuring people that he's not making fun of Star Trek with "Lower Decks." There's a huge difference between "making fun of" and "having fun with." It's the same as "laughing at" versus "laughing with."
Paul played one of the brother husbands on Raising Hope. Loved that episode. On the tv series I just laughed like crazy when Worf said of Prune Juice,"It's a warrior's drink". lol
I loved watching Brent on Night Court. Mind you I watched Night Court after I had already known Spiner as Data and Laroquette as Maltz. Seeing them both on Night Court after already seeing them in their respective Star Trek rolls was fun. Both actors and characters are really funny.
I have great admiration and respect for all the actors of the star trek series. I feel sad that almost all the time people talk about how they loved the character. I had the opportunity to go to comic con when John de Lancie, Nicole de Boer and Renee Auberjonois were in Winnipeg. I loved being able to let them know how much I appreciate them as actors and got to know their other interests. They are people first and actors second. It's a grueling job to memorize scripts and very long days. They deserve respect for the dedication and long hours they put in to give us these episodes. I really love Star trek. Will ,Brent and Jonathan, I may never have the honor of meeting you but I want you to know that you're all excellent actors and more importantly people first. God bless you all 🙂 Praying for you 🙏 Diane Delorme Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada 🇨🇦
Worf protesting, "I am not a merry man!", has for years been one of my favourite lines in the franchise, in part because it works on so many levels. This was replaced earlier this year when rewatching Enterprise. Lt Reed was protesting his treatment during a physiotherapy session, stating, "it cannot be ethical to cause this much pain." Phlox's response of, "It is unethical to harm a patient, I can inflict as much pain as I like," all while wearing a huge, sh*t eating grin. has since dethroned Worf's place on top of the quip heap.
Data pitching Geordi ten feet to the deck in Engineering after he gets zapped by the Iconian Probe Virus in "Contagion", was and is hysterical. The way Data visibly cringes, I'm still crying. 😂
19:25 My Wesley Crusher story is that he is in fact the son of Q, that is where he got his powers. Wesley's true mother is actually Vash, {AKA "Captain's Holiday" Picard's girlfriend, before she goes away with Q.} Q went back in time with her, caused the accident, and gave his and Vash's son to Beverley, because he did not know if Wesley would have the powers, and might have to destroy him. Much like the episode "True Q", Q caused a accident that killed Beverley's husband, and their child. So Q replaced their child, with his own. And for that reason Q had to hide Wesley's true identity. And the character from that episode "Amanda Rogers" falls in love with Wesley as they are both half Q.
@@beesod6412 As much as I originally like Wesley, I grew to strongly dislike him because he was so..." special ". But I really like this explanation for why he was so special.
One look at Data's thumbnail gives me such fond memories of Star Trek at it's peak of coolness & creativity. Back when an AI cast was around to be awesome and ask fundamental questions to human behavior. Data is up there with KITT, Uncle Bob, Vicki.. to name a few from the era.
I like Mike's comment at the end about the character growth. Some of my favorite characters are the ones who have the arc (Data, Seven, the Doctor). As far as the humor goes that goes to my favorite character in all of Trek John DeLancie's Q. When you see his name come up connected to an episode you know there will be hilarity of some sort. He is the one who utters my favorite line in all of Trek when talking to his son on the deck of Voyager. "If the Continuum's told you once, they've told you a thousand times: DON'T - PROVOKE - THE BORG!" Ever since I have always wondered what would happen if the Borg had been able to assimilate a Q. I also wonder is it even possible. but then the quote makes me think it must be because otherwise why would they worry so much.
I agree that comedy is needed. It's like being on Red Alert forever. You need yellow Alert to wind down a little and catch your breath. You can't run Red Alert all the time or you will burn out.
I think the TNG episode Starship Mine has to be the most under appreciated comedic episodes in Star Trek: Picard running around the Enterprise like John McClane from Die Hard, Data and the admiral making small talk to the amusement/torture of the main cast, Picard using the Vulcan nerve pinch on Tim Russ’s character (not that funny unless you know that Russ would play a Vulcan a few years later),, and the episode ending with the call back to Mr. Ed with the statement that Picard’s saddle is “for a horse. Of course.”
Omg. I love this. I have been binge watching everything TNG. I grew up on it, I remember the air it first aired, the time it was on. And as I got older (in Queens, NY), I would not go to sleep until 12 because WPIX11 would air TGN at 11:30am. Then it would change. I slept later lol. It was Seinfeld at 11, Cheers 11:30am, TGN at 12am and at 1am The Honeymooners and that’s when I knew to go to sleep. When that Moon came up on the show lol. I’ve followed everything Star Trek. It wasn’t till recently that I realized I’m a huge Trekkie lol. I love Star Wars but I’ve watched EVERYTHING that’s Star Trek. Because all the shows literally acknowledge the before shows and I love that. The connection.
Trivia Time! End credits Picard S3-E1, there are musical notes behind the end credits, in D major and 6/8 time signature, what is the tune? Pop Goes the Weasel!
I find it amusing that during this particular podcast that you’re doing well, Leaton that they’re in a commercial break, they played a commercial for a Star Wars. I will repeat Star Wars video game, find it amusing.
It's not canon, but according to more than one Star Trek novel, Wesley has a half brother named Rene Jacques Robert Francois Picard. He married a daughter of Riker and Troi named Natasha.
The first episode I ever saw was a geordi and data episode and I decided 1 of them would be my favourite, as time went on geordi was under written, so data it was
I wish I still had my trek toys. Had a tos and a tng phaser. A tng tricorder. And the tnt teleported for action figure. The one that made toy disappear. Lol. If only.
I wasn't that interested in TLD, but now that I know that it's the Season 8 guy, I'm absolutely watching it......'cause clearly nobody knows TNG funny like him.
Thank God this show came out in a time when networks would give you a couple seasons to find your footing. Nowadays it would be cancelled almost immediately.
Is it just me or does Wil Wheaton really look a lot like Jonathon Frakes did 25 years ago? If they ever recast a new TNG they don't have to look far for an actor to play Will Riker.....and he already has the right first name! Great discussion and hilarious comedy clips from TNG!
Comedy is Star Trek...Best casting ever in a movie is the new trio of Kirk, Spock, and Bones. Chris Pines is a GREAT James T Kirk. But my fave character of the tv series is Data.
Thank you Paramount for making an actual funny, insteresting and nice to watch panel. Having Wheaton as the host really makes it feel like home. Thats what new Trek should be, welcoming new fans while pleasing and nodding to the old fans. Since JJ Trek, the franchise has been so agressive to old fans, almost denying its past... and while the new shows sort of continued at that pace, you can clarly see a positive change taking form. Continue! LLAP
I know this probably off topic, but it's beautiful that Jonathan Frakes ALWAYS so loving when he talks about his wife in interviews
Love Trek humor. I wish they would have included Robert Picardo in this, since I believe he is one of the funniest actors to every be a principle cast member on a Trek series.

Started watching TNG last month. I'm hooked, love data!
Welcome!
I got hooked in 1987, and I´m still hooked :)
Data is also my favorite
I started watching TNG around 1989 1990. Still love that show to this day. Stick with it dude. It gets really really good from season3 onwards.
I understand you. I've had 2 romantic dreams about Data :)
I like every Data centric episode.
The Geordi in a tree episode was QPid, where Q sends them all to Nottingham and makes Picard the legendary Robin Hood.
Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏
Worf has had the funniest lines to me. Lines like "I will feed him" when Data asks Worf to feed his cat.
"Q the miserable, Q the desperate! What must I do to convince you people?"
"Die."
Best of all time.
When Michael Dorn uses that voice, all I hear is Kalabak!

Brent Spiner’s face during this is gold. He’s just looks like he’s so over this. 🤣

Lower decks is badass. Cant wait for the next season.
Wow Will is an amazingly smart man! Go Wesley!
Dr McCoy was my favorite character in the original by far. That's how a lot of people would be.
Worst actor in the history of Hollywood
Actually it was Data in a tree in the pilot episode when Riker and he meet for the first time. He was trying to whistle.
On the holodeck.
Nah, it was probably The Last Outpost. When they transport down to the planet, Geordi materializes upside down hanging from a tree by his leg.

its always the little jokes, like Data grows a beard, or Riker kisses Diana with a beard and she goes "Yuck" so he goes and shaves it.

In star trek race doesn't matter so Mr. Wheaton there was no need to apologize. I love you guys so much.
I don't understand almost anything but I like you because I love you regardless 😁💗💗🖖
The first episode I ever saw was a geordi and data episode and I decided 1 of them would be my favourite, as time went on geordi was under written, so data it was
Talking DS9 some of the funniest part of the show was the interactions between Odo and Quark.
I want to watch some of these videos later
Wil wheaton looks like Riker's long lost son.
I know that he wasn't on this panel, but Cirroc is looking more and more like Captain Sikso every time I see him now, too.
Great stuff
then: SHUT UP WESLEY
now: let's have wesley host his own talk show
Wil Wheaton HATES the phrase "shut up Wesley" he'll block people on facebook if they post it.
Geordi on a tree appears on the episode QPid S04E20 playing a medieval instrument
That was hilarious when she snitched on him giving her contraband
Hey Wil -- do you ever talk with Ashley Judd (Ensign Robin Lefler) anymore? That one show you did with her...man, you guys rocked it!
She refused to talk about it and denies ever having done Star Trek.

The funniest TNG moment was when Wesley was told to shut up by both Picard and Beverly.
OH, that Data (Brent Spiner) would be in Lower Decks!!!! He is the epitome of this very discussion.
Thank God this show came out in a time when networks would give you a couple seasons to find your footing. Nowadays it would be cancelled almost immediately.
Geordi stuck upside-down in The Last Outpost
Hey Johnathan! "Let the Jeep CJ have a try."
Will, great job!
Is it just me or does Wil Wheaton really look a lot like Jonathon Frakes did 25 years ago? If they ever recast a new TNG they don't have to look far for an actor to play Will Riker.....and he already has the right first name! Great discussion and hilarious comedy clips from TNG!
Actually in this video I thought Will looked more like J.J. Abrahams?
It's just a goatee.
Their facial features look nothing alike.
Comedy is Star Trek...Best casting ever in a movie is the new trio of Kirk, Spock, and Bones. Chris Pines is a GREAT James T Kirk. But my fave character of the tv series is Data.
Lower decks surprised me once or twice.

I still want to know why the Ferengi was in the gorilla suit.
Thank you Paramount for making an actual funny, insteresting and nice to watch panel. Having Wheaton as the host really makes it feel like home. Thats what new Trek should be, welcoming new fans while pleasing and nodding to the old fans. Since JJ Trek, the franchise has been so agressive to old fans, almost denying its past... and while the new shows sort of continued at that pace, you can clarly see a positive change taking form. Continue! LLAP
