Awesome. But just between a Klingon musical version of Das Kapital and a hypothetical James T. Kirk Foundation for the Redshirt Orphans levels of awesome, though. posted by Iosephus at 9:06 AM on May 3, 2007
Well at least now I can finally understand what the hell that Tribbles episode is all about. Hopefully somebody'll do this for say, Mulholland Drive, or Solaris. posted by Flashman at 9:15 AM on May 3, 2007 [3 favorites has favorites]
I like how Spock doesn't speak in lolcats. Must be that green icewater Vulcans use for blood. posted by DU at 9:21 AM on May 3, 2007 [2 favorites has favorites]
The only time I giggle is when I see Trek parodies. posted by czechmate at 9:22 AM on May 3, 2007
It's so sad to see this meme burn through its oxygen so quickly. :( Next up: lolcats on Hot Topic t-shirts. posted by aparrish at 9:22 AM on May 3, 2007

Agreeing with triolus about the lots of trek and not much lol. But it's a fun idea and can't wait for other, funnier versions of life in LolKitteh. posted by nickyskye at 10:02 AM on May 3, 2007

What was funnier than I expected. How much longer do we have to have LOL* threads before this meme is dead and overdone? posted by bhouston at 10:10 AM on May 3, 2007

the LOLTrek was cute, (particularly the use of the Whut?) but the real gem here is the link to Dash's discussion of kitty pidgin linked by Spatch above. posted by quin at 10:37 AM on May 3, 2007

This was hilarious! Usually memes annoy me, but I'm diggin' the lolcat phenom. I wish I had time to do this to Firefly. Jayne B in hiz bunk za lovin' on Vera. posted by ZachsMind at 11:00 AM on May 3, 2007
It was funny when it was new and unexpected and unique. These derivative works pack less of a punch, more so as they profilerate. If this meme were a celebrity its agent would be screaming for it to take a vacation or break in order to reduce the risk of overexposure and subsequent public backlash... posted by bhouston at 1:21 PM on May 3, 2007

It's like any of those bullshit YouTube memes, like the re-editing of the film trailers to make the movies seem to be about something other than they were. The first one is kind of trashy and cheap, but inspires someone else to do a slightly better version. And by the time the third or fourth generations come around, it's already old, tired and lame.

I'm waiting for someone to create an automatic meme-generator/mash-up-maker that creates new funny things then posts them automatically all around the InTarTubes. Then we can finally just say we're jaded to everything and get back to not caring so damned much about whether or not things have jumped the shark. posted by jiawen at 1:50 PM on May 3, 2007

Ambrosia -- I adore you and want to have your children. That is priceless. And horrible. And priceless. Your LOLOCAUST image is a exercise in the beauty of perpetual motion, forever hovering directly above the shark. If only we could harness the energy it generates there, forever spinning in a Schroedinger's-cat-like impossibility of jumping, we could end the oil crisis. posted by tzikeh at 4:27 PM on May 3, 2007 [2 favorites has favorites]

The thing about the Star Trek bit was that I found it funny on its own terms, adherence to "lolkitteh" standards be damned. But I find anything remotely Trekular funny. I will titter at the mere mention of "Uhura". posted by Mister_A at 7:24 AM on May 4, 2007
