Ten minutes of innuendo

It appears, based on the number of times I just giggled, that I am approximately 7 years old.

I thought it would get old around 3 minutes in, but it didn't. Then I thought I was over it about 7 minutes in, but then it started a full-on crescendo of orgiastic explosions and theme song glee.

Okay, now can this thread turn into Tell Me Your Dirty Star Trek Jokes?

Oh, I feel funny in my pants now. I'm still recovering from having first seen Riker's orgasm face in "The Game" and that was a long, long time ago. This is more than I could ever have dreamed of!

I laughed, I cried, I ... hang on, I'll get a cloth.

Editing is a wonderful thing.

OK, just proving my humor is stalled at age 13, that was hilarious.

I am a fan. And I thought it was funny, too. Favorite bit was about getting "inside", followed by a shot of Wesley climbing through some tube. Poor Wil Wheaton, so often a target of derision. Probably jealousy. How many trekkies have you ever seen with as shapely an ass in their uniform?

It's not that, it's the sweaters. [darth vader voice]I want that sweater![/vader]

In the 26 years or so that I've actually owned my own computer, I have never been made to spew coffee on my screen.
My streak is over. Damn car flying into the shuttle.

It always wonders me the people who have the time to watch an entire series like this and take notes to make such collages - and to do the grunt work of cutting and pasting the clips. I applaud the efforts and the outcome. This is great.

Is it a mark of my advanced age or my utter loathing of TNG that made me not crack a smile during the 30 seconds of this I could stand?

I see what you did there.

Absolutely brilliant! I want to show it to someone else to share in the hilarity, but I'm afraid that everyone i know IRL would just look at me like a weirdo! At least I have you, Metafilter!

IMHO, this is much funnier:

"That Jean-Luc Picard"

... the subtlety of the editing is genius

"What would Picard do?"
"Come!"

"*SPLAT*"

It's sad that it had to be spelled out for me so, uh, explicitly, but I now finally understand where slashfic comes from. Thanks for that.

The JAndrewEdits are awesome. What's sad is that the amateurs making it have a better sense of pacing than the professionals who put together TNG. Maybe 42 minutes was too long, or maybe they were just in a 1960's state of mind, but TNG's biggest flaw was always the fact that it was slow, and had a reaction shot for EVERYTHING.

Those gaping holes just made it easier for home editors to make it really funny. Gene Roddenberry really should have seen the rise of home computers with software like iMovie and Windows Movie Maker coming.

I think, if you only watched 30 seconds of this, then you really didn't give it nearly the chance it deserved. It's shocking in its completeness, and it nearly has a storyline. I thought it was sophomoric when it started out... okay, it never really quit being sophomoric... but it achieved a transcendent level of something or other about 4 minutes in, and then even when I started to think "Oh, well, this is really stupid", it would turn a corner and do something else wonderful and hilarious. The sequence at the end of afterglow may be the best part considering how climactic it was there for a while.

On the other hand... typical MeFite... won't even watch 10% of something before declaring it "meh".

That's it. We need a meetup for watching Star Trek. Drink any time there's a quantum, subspace, or temporal anything.

A fair comment, and I was pretty iffy about posting this on the blue (to be honest), but ultimately, having seen it to the end and thus getting the bigger narrative picture, I felt it was worth sharing for the chuckles. As, you know, a gentleman of a certain age myself.

Clearly not of a certain maturity, however

Never a huge TNG guy, but I laughed. Especially at 4:16

This just made me angry that Firefly got axed but they dragged this shit out for 178 episodes and people liked it.

Back in high school, we used to watch TNG everyday during dinner. I just posted this to my mom's Facebook wall.
