With the end of the original series trek,the Sev Trek crew moved onto the X Generation. Before I start re-posting from the archive, here is an introduction to the crew. 20 years ago when I first came across these I thought they were funny.  Some of them now seem quite sophomoric... 😐 . I guess some things don't get better with age 😜 Jet Lag Pinchhard As Captain of the Enterforaprize,

Εδώ και κάτι εβδομάδες μου έχει κολήσει στο μυαλό το τραγούδι του Weird Al το οποίο λέγεται Eat It και είναι μια παροδία του τραγουδιού Beat it του Michael Jackson. Όχι πως είναι και κάτι που θα τραγουδούσε κανείς έξω (αν και θες να σε πάρουν

Love thyself?  (original archive here)

Earth-centered starfleet? nope! It's the entire galaxy! (original archive here)

I love Terry Crews ;-)  Now all this game needs is a Jake Peralta recruit haha.I wonder if I need an Xbox One X to run this.  I seriously don't see a reason to buy an xbox one X over an xbox one S given my own gaming habits.

Kirk can only focus on one thing at a time...  (original archive here)

LOL, that is before the JJ reboot of course ;-) (original archive here)

ROFL...(original archive here)

From this past week's Sunday Comics section of Kotaku - Snake talking about the evolution of the metal gear mech design, and news on fidget spinners (a fad of the mid 2017s for those future historians looking back). 

The Orville is a scifi comedy show coming to FOX this coming fall.  It being on FOX, if the show is any good it will most likely be cancelled (LOL), but I hope it's good and it stays on the air (if Family Guy is still on the air...then surely this must remain as well!)Many seem to be comparing it to Galaxy Quest, but I think the comparison is a bit off.  Galaxy Quest was about actors playing

Hmmmm...(original archive here)

From last week's gamercat...  As much as I want to throw money at Nintendo for the switch, I can't justify the cost and game availability (and cost thereof).  As a child of the 90s though....Nintendo! (i.e. irrational behaviors at times)

I soooo don't remember this part of the movie... rewatch is in order...(original archive here)

When I first came across this in high school I thought it was funny...now some of these seem in poor taste... RIP Montgomery Scott(original archive here)

Εντάξει, δεν είναι και ρετρό μουσική, αλλά μου έχει κολλήσει στο μυαλό αυτή την εβδομάδα ;-)

LOL...The one where they meet God?(original archive here)

I agree that the VR stuff costs a lot of money, but given a compelling game, and a compelling price, I'd play those games :-).  From last week's gamer cat comic.

Seems like a good week starts with John Olive and Last Week Tonight.  I've queued up the video to the part that I found most funny (Dumbo Heights!!!), but the rest of the video is definitely worth a watch.

Poor Scotty...(original archive here)

This past weekend's last week tonight (on the topic of the upcoming french elections) was pretty awesome. Love the film noir ending ;-).  I didn't remember that Babar married his cousin...

So long and thanks for all the fish... :-) (original archive here)

Someone needs to have Trek time travel and do fast food...but these days that might just be free product placement...Advertising ruins everything! :-) (original archive here)

I completely forgot to have a look at ThinkGeek's April Fool's lineup. Usually some of their April Fool's products make it to production (and some are actually just jokes).  I picked three of my favorites.The Hot Pockets burrito  sleeping bag.  I picked this (even though I don't particularly find Hot Pockets all that appetizing) because I think that there are enough people who want

Hulu "Hu" video shortening service was an April fool's joke that got me.  It showed up before April fool's (maybe it was 4/1 somewhere when I saw it), and my reaction was "NOPE! not going this sh*t! what kind of product is this?"A day later... I realized it was a joke...

Two April fool's products which I think were particularly well done:1.  Google Gnome (modeled after Google Home, but for outdoors) 2. Alexa Pet Translator

When I logged into Star Trek Online I heard a bunch or BLIM, BLORP, SWOOOOSH sounds.  I thought Q was at it again.  Well, it turns out that it was just the new artisanal sonification system :p (Happy April Fools)

I was getting some Snakes on a Plane thoughts with this one " I have had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday through Friday plane!" ;-)(original archive here)

Sort of reminds me a bit of the Voyager episode...(original archive here)

Scratching that itch, or mindmeld? or both?...  (original archive here)

Decided to try out that executive order meme generator.  Here's Trump's new title ;-)

I feel your pain, GamerCat...

Who knew you could mind-meld with a whale...  (original archive here)

The Breach came back as an event queue in Star Trek Online last week.  This comic sums up exactly how I felt about it. Although to be honest, it's much shorter, and the rewards seem better as compared to the original Breach queue, and I need to get enough Lukari marks to finish off that reputation... (original here)

Somehow I got on the White House's mailing list (must have been some petition I signed at some point), and now I get spam like this.  I guess the White House is seriously pushing their new reality show "Presidential", but it faces steep prime-time competition from ABC, NBC, CBS, CW, and El Rey. I think Sharnado probably does better than this new reality show ;-)

Hey, it's that time-traveling movie about saving the whales... :-) (original archive here)

Kirk should have had more meaningful relationships in his time :-) (original archive here)

From last week tonight (from this past weekend).  Everything is better with techno music - even bad lyrics :p

Not a great punchline... ;-) (original archive here)

I saw this on facebook the other day.  The first thing that came to mind was "What is the UNIX command you run when you quit your job?" hahaha :-)

Some current politics..and talk of reality.  What is reality?  How do we know it's real? Where's Plato and Aristotle when you need them?

Some video game humor mashed up with contemporary politics (by Dorkly)

Ahhh yes... Now I remember this movie (looks like Spock has a pokeball on his chest)...(original archive here)

Ferengi...before the Frerengi!(original archive here)

Found on Facebook through Simon Ensor.  Loved this video introducing the Netherlands to Trump ;-)

A little 'search for Spock' humor...  I actually don't remember that movie much, but I guess the enterprise gets destroyed (again) ;-) (original archive here)

A little found humor this week from Gamercat.  Describes perfectly my gameplay while Ezio (my cat) is around...

A little humor from this weekend's SNL.The thing was pretty funny, but I really disliked the lack of attention to detail.  Petros (πέτρος) is a Greek name, whereas if they were going for Russian - which I think they were based on the accent that the Uber driver had - the name should have been Piotr (Пётр).

ROFL :-)(original archive here)

ROFL.  While I like the TWoK uniforms, they are a little too red for my taste :-)(original archive here)

#facepalm...(original archive here)

Kirk had a kid?! Wonder if we are going to see this in the NuTrek ;-)(original archive here)

Making fun of a very touching moment...(original archive here)

Poor Doohan...(original archive here)

Saw this on Savage Chickens the other day. It made me laugh ;-)

ROFL...Chekov did look different (I guess Kahn has built in software to extrapolate age) :-)(original archive here)

I really don't get the whole craze around the NES classic.  I never had an NES (but I've played games on it).  I've played enough games on emulators, and granted the keyboard isn't as satisfying as a gamepad,  if I felt like playing those games more often I'd go the Sweets route (orange cat here) - just get the original console and a CRT ;-)

More poking fun at the intro of the motion picture(original archive here)

Motion picture innovations (along with the disco inpired uniforms), they had this thing that looked like a giant belt buckle.  Seems like a technology fannie-pack (in the American sense of the word) to me :)(original archive here)

With all the craziness happening in the world now, we need a few moments to laugh a bit.  So, from today's news, the department of transportation is apologizing for an error in highway signage:From the local news source (just in case the link goes dead in the future):MassDOT apologized to drivers, tourists, and locals Monday for the misprinted sign, which read “Cod Cape” instead of “Cape

From the most recent GamerCat - I bet it tastes like chicken ;-)

Ah yes...that long...long...long intro scene in the motion picture.  Good fanboyism in the day, but seriously - too long!(original archive here)

I don't know if this technically counts as a song...but it's got a beat, and it's got words...so I guess it might be one? This was discovered while watching @midnight (a comedy web-culture show) this morning. Japan (?)PPAP ペンパイナッポーアッポーペン「ロング」バージョン by PIKOTARO(ピコ太郎)Verdict: No words are sufficient to describe this... just "LOL" I guess?

We've now moved on to the Movie-Era TOS comic strips.  This on comes from the Motion Picture, which is parodied as "the slow motion picture".  Commentary on this is interesting.  I remember watching the motion picture and I found it odd that they needed to mention the oath of celibacy - It is the future, and starfleet is a military organization (in some part) - why bother? :-/(original

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the (time honored?) trope of killing off the red shirt ;-) Pretty fitting for this to be the last strip in the TOS. Starting next week, TOS movie-based comics ;-)(original archive here)

What happens when Mario dies?  Something found via facebook this weekend :-)  Happy Halloween to you out there :-)

This past week I was looking on the web for interesting news, research, and funny humor, relating to language and linguistics for my department's social media presence (here, here, and here are some places - if you are interested).  I came across this Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic strip which made me chuckle, but it seemed inappropriate for work...so here it is :-)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of themany time Kirk had a torn shirt... (you'd think Starfleet would have more durable materials!)(original archive here)

Funny gamercat comic strip from this past week.  Can slay tons of beasts in games...but not a spider.

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of...well... not sure of this one...(original archive here)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of Scotty's time estimates for when things are ready ;-)(original archive here)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the way Shatner spoke as Kirk (or at least the exaggerated way people make fun of it)  ;-)(original archive here)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of Kirk's libido (again) :p(original archive here)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the being the only ship in range to take care of galactic disasters.(original archive here)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the (time honored?) trope of killing off the red shirt ;-)(original archive here)

This from a recent gamercat comic strip.  Soon I guess we'll all be buying Christmas gifts in the summer ;-)

So... this week Apple announced the iPhone 7, and due to their "courageous" stance (barf!  seriously Phil! Barf!) they removed the headphone jack.  Not courage at all - just making one more thing obsolete, or so you hope.  Now, granted, in my day to day use of my phone I use my motorola S305 bluetooth headphones, so I personally won't be missing the jack (unless I am flying and I can't

Some esoteric video game humor from this past week...

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the orions...and Kirk's libido.(original archive here)

What Thor was doing during the events of Captain America: Civil War.  LOL.  :-) This came by way of faceboook...

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the various uniforms in Trek (someone should make fun of the TMP uniforms!)(original archive here)

GamerCat explains mobile F2P gaming :-)

Reminds me a lot of my own experiences managing my inventory in games..LOL (from this week's comic strips)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the (time honored?) trope of killing off the red shirt ;-)(original archive here)

Oh man... gets my blood boiling(Last Week Tonight covered Charter Schools this week...)

ROFL - had a good laugh at this past week's GamerCat.  It's exactly how I felt when my first Poke-egg hatched and out came a ...ratata X(

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of interspecies marriages (and probably marriages in general) :-)(original archive here)

This came across my feed the other day.  I feel like there needs to be a medal for being distracted by social media while trying to conduct a literature review :-) This has been one of my problems of late - too many other interesting (or just plain distracting) things posted on social media while I am working on my dissertation proposal :p

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the trinity of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy(original archive here)

A little social commentary on PokemonGo and the social awkwardness that can ensue (from last week's comics).

What is the NES had today's 'copy protections'? :-)

ROFL!  Some political humor from the Simpsons for this electoral period:

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the iconian time gateway...and Kirk's future ;-)(original archive here)

A little gamercat humor for you :-).  While playing Star Trek Online I don't often think of achievements (since my achievements/medals aren't visible anywhere).  This past week though I started playing Bully again on my xbox and I started wondering what achievements exist, and what I need to do to get them :-)

ROFL!  This is pretty funny ;-)  I saw it muted and it seemed dumb, but with the audio on it's pretty funny :-)  Reminds me a bit of the Axanar parody a month or so ago back.

A little cross-over humor from last week's video game comics :-)  Bill & Ted meet bulbasaur and squirtle ;-)

For the past few weeks I've been facilitating a workshop on Social Media in Online Education.  The following graphic in one of the participant's final presentations made me smile :-)

A little video game and cultural humor for you on this fine summer Friday :-)  Pokemon GO gets a little too real ;-)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of...well,  I am not sure.  Did Shatner wear a wig on set? (original archive here)

Funny comic strip from this past week by Nerfnow :-)

This came across my radar recently: a live action futurama fan film (probably just a trailer, but still).There is something odd and creepy about it, but it did get a laugh out of me :-)

Now this explains my cat's behavior...

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the many transporter malfunctions :-)(original archive here)

An interesting comic from this past week.  Politics, meets gaming, meets technology...

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the killing off of the original series after 3 seasons. However, Spook is incorrect here - it seems (at least according to various Trek sources I read) that the original mission was 4 years in at the end of season 3 (or was it at the end of the animated series?)(original archive here)

Something from a recent PhD comics.  From my part... I am working on the research methods section of my dissertation proposal. Working on motivation to finish this draft so I can submit it by Monday...

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek seemed originally to be going for a "live long and prosper" but I guess it's all about workplace safety :-)(original archive here)

Having just found out about mid-summer game sales... well... this was humorous :-)

Where game humor and language humor meet - Metal Gear ;-)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of "fascinating" ;-) (original archive here)

I had a good chuckle at this comic the other day.  I used to be like GamerCat - must collect all the trophies and badges...now I feel like I just want to enjoy the story, and any badges are incidental :-)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek comments on the infamous episode with the interracial kiss (which was controversial for its time)(original archive here)

Well, the Brexit vs Bremain (the later being my own invention) voting is upon us soon for people in the UK, so here's a video for you to watch before you head to the polls.That said, I am constantly amazed how similar the US is to the UK. We are our parents kids sometimes...

A little humor found recently on the interwebs...

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the reason why Spock joined Sev Fleet ;-)(original archive here)

Hmmmm....(original archive here)

I know that this is meant to be a humorous news show, but this just is capitalist douchebaggery at its finest.  If a company is writing off their debt, that should be it. It should not be resold (with personal identifying information) to just anyone who can create a debt buying company.

A little humor in comic strip form about the movie Independence Day 2

Did Kirk have a hairpiece? (original archive here)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of Scottys "she cannae take any more capt'n!"  ;-)(original archive here)

I love metal gear.  I also love it when people make fun of metal gear :-)

I posted this last year - but it hasn't gotten old yet ;-)  Tim Russ explains May the Fourth ;-)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the (time honored?) trope of killing off the red shirt ;-)(original archive here)

A puppet based parody of Prelude to Axanar (a fan film).  Pretty funny ;-)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of not changing the laws of physics... wait until TNG to meet Q  ;-)(original archive here)

This isn't laugh out loud funny - but it did manage to get a chuckle...

LOL... I guess Kaz joined willingly? ;-)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the original five year mission (cut short after 3 years due to budget cuts?)  ;-)(original archive here)

All I can say is... "yup..."

This has been making the rounds on social media this week: a fictitious article mocking presidential candidate Donald Trump by writing an academic article in Trumpspeak.  We've got the best data. Premium stuff! Pretty funny ;-)

I think this strip was made as a tribute to DeForrest Kelley when he passed :-)(original archive here)

Some more April fool's 2016 funnies, this time a Ghostbusters one...

Alright...it's an April Fool's joke, but it was a good one ;-)

A little April fool's folly ;-)

I came across this last week.  I know it's portraying a more geeky convention (something I haven't been to in ages), but this is how I feel when I am at the vendor floor at an EdTech conference and I am looking to find colleagues ;-)

Another April Fool's joke.  Funny...but painful to think about it!

I came across this comic last week ;-)  Snake messes up (and no cardboard box to hide in :p)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun Kirk's...promiscuity?  ;-)(original archive here)

Apparently the Turkish President,  Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has never heard of the Streissand Effect . From the New York Times:If President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey had hoped that summoning the German ambassador would get a video poking fun at him by a German satire program removed from the Internet, he was wrong. Instead, the move had any number of consequences, including provoking

The other day I took one of those silly Facebook tests. You know, the ones that ask you some limited amount of questions and they tell you something about yourself (your ideal profession, your age, your brain capacity, when you're going to die - whatever).  This is nothing new, I remember doing silly tests like these since I started surfing the web in 1995 (hey, remember the Spark, and their

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the McCoy's fear of transporters ;-)(original archive here)

LOL - a short film about Java going away.  I think with the impending end-of-life of the JRE plugin for browsers this is pretty funny.

A while back I (and others) had seen this commercial on the internet which basically shows a couple of engineers (of the mythbusters kind - very unconventional ;-) ) making friend shrimp by blowing shrimp out of an air cannon into batter, breadcrumbs, and over a flame. Then, they enjoy some nice fried shrimp.  This seemed implausible, but the mythbusters in their final season tackled it. 

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the (many?) times there were transporter issues on the Enterprise (might still be under warranty...)(original archive here)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the that rectangle that Spock keeps looking into *there are monitors on the bridge, aren't there?)(original archive here)

I had my doubts about the New Ghostbusters film (mostly because I thought they were going with the old ghostbusters just rehashed), but this seems like it's going to be a really good film picking up from where the original quartet left off!  Can't wait to see it :-)

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the Vulcan neck pinch...although my favorite one of all time is still in Spaceballs: The Movie :-)(original archive here)

I was listening to Earl Grey, one of the Trek.fm podcasts, this past week, and the topic of discussion was about a fictions scenario, a what if they had made an animated series out of Star Trek: The Next Generation in the 90s once the live action series was off the air.  It was a pretty funny episode to listen to, especially if you've seen the mess that is Star Trek the animated series...well...and
