I mean seriously can anyone get through an episode of the Original Star Trek without
just busting up?
The situations that crazy crew of the Enterprise get into.
They have a Scottish engineer that is always trying to "Get More Power".
That old crotchety american doctor always arguing with that guy with the crazy ears and reminding everyone he\'s just a doctor.
The asian gay guy in the closet that solves all the ship problems.
They even have a hot black chick that basically does nothing but tell the Captain what\'s up.
Oh and then there is The Captain.
This guy is a hoot always exaggerating his dialog and hooking up with chicks left and right.

To think a show so racially diverse was created so long ago and can still bring the funny. Wow.

Have you seen Galaxy Quest? That movie did a great job pointing out just how funny that show was.

Galaxy quest was the dumbest looking movie I ever heard of, until I started watching it and realized it was a spinal tap-esq joke on how bad that show was. A great nothing to do on a saturday afternoon flick.

Ensign: "Don\'t open that door! We don\'t even know if there is any oxygen on this planet! Are you trying to kill us all?" (holds breath)
Monk: [sniff] "smells ok"

Is that the one with Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver? I think I\'ve seen some of it on TBS. It\'s actually good huh? I had heard that but just never followed up on it. I will now.

That line was spoken by Guy "What\'s my last name?!" (aka Sam Rockwell). He might be the funniest character in that movie. Although, Monk is pretty funny too:

S. Weaver: Those could be the miner\'s.
Monk: Sure they\'re minor\'s, they\'re like 3 years old.
Hans Gruber: Miner\'s not minor\'s you idiot!!
