History Funny / StarTrekTheOriginalSeries

*** No, the ''best'' part is the ''massive'' shit-eating grin [=McCoy=] is wearing when he comes in to say how to stop the tribbles from breeding.

*** Made into possibly the longest BrickJoke in Star Trek history when ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]'' makes a reference to the game.

--->'''Kirk''': I kind of like this. I'm going to get one myself. (proceeds to drive the car in reverse.)
---> ...
--->'''Kirk''': (about to drive again) Are you afraid of cars, Mr. Spock?
--->'''Spock''': Not at all, Captain. It's your ''driving'' that alarms me.

--->'''Kirk (with deadpan exasperation)''':''Now'' he tells me

-->'''Kirk''': Package recieved.\\

-->'''Spock:''' Sir, there's a multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder. *Neck pinches the guard*

Kirk stops smiling.

*** Made into possibly the longest BrickJoke in Star Trek history when DeepSpaceNine makes a reference to the game.

** It gets even better. In-universe, those tribbles keep falling on him because [[DeepSpaceNine Sisko and Dax]] were throwing them!

*** Which of course became a HilariousInHindsight given the driving scene in StarTrekXI.

* "The Trouble with Tribbles" - Kirk's growing frustration with the Tribbles multiplying on his ship is hysterical to watch, especially [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bprgl_4z6gY this bit]] where he ends up buried up to his armpits with tribbles. The [[DeathGlare glare]] he gives Bones after telling him to find out how the Tribbles died is priceless.

-->'''Kirk (with deadpan exsaperation)''':"''Now'' he tells me"

* After kissing Lieutenant Ariel Shaw on the bridge of his ship ("Court Martial") Kirk goes to sit in the captain's chair with the stiffest poker face ever seen; Spock and McCoy, on either side, are staring straight ahead. After a pause, and a flicker of a glance at Spock...

-->'''Spock''': Their purring seems to have a tranquilizing effect on the human nervous system. Fortunately... I am... immune...

--->

* From The Original Series, the ending of "I, Mudd" where the crew defeats Harry Mudd's robots by confronting them with a barrage of bald-faced illogic. Particularly good is Spock telling a pair of identical robots that he loves one and hates the other, and it's precisely because they're identical that he feels that way.

** From the same episode, Kirk attempt - and failure - of driving a 1930's styled car.
--->'''Kirk''': I kind of like this. I'm going to get one myself. (Proceides to drive the car in reverse.)

--->'''Spock''': Not at all, Captain. It's your * driving* that alarms me.

* Also from The Original Series. A scene in "A Piece of the Action" in which Kirk distracts a group of gangsters by teaching them Fizzbin, a complicated card game which he improvises on the spot. [[TheKirk Kirk]], [[TheSpock Spock]] and [[TheMcCoy McCoy]] break free while the gangsters are busy trying to figure out the intentionally complicated rules.

*** This moment is even funnier when you stop and think that those tribbles that keep hitting Kirk in the head every few seconds are being thrown by some prop guy on the other side of the little door.
--->'''Kirk''': As a captain I want two things done. First find Cyrano Jones. And second... close that door?

** By Any Other Name - Scotty working his way through his entire liquor cabinet:
--->'''Scotty''': I found this on Ganyroom... uh, uh, Ganymeer... mede..
--->'''Tomar''': What is it?
--->'''Scotty''': It's... uh... it's green!
*** Also, when Scotty finally, ''finally'' drinks him under the table: [[CargoShip Scotty/Scotch]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLWX3qrtweI#t=02m13s forever]]!
** Kirk's attempted explanation of Spock's ears in "City on the Edge of Forever".
--->'''Kirk''': He caught his head in a mechanical... rice picker... but, fortunately, there was an American, uh, missionary living close by who was a, uh, skilled, uh, plastic surgeon in civilian life who -...
** "Tomorrow is Yesterday"--Kirk's [[OhCrap expressions]] as the 1969 Air Police who have just captured him [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace play with his phaser]], not even knowing it's a weapon.
** How about Shore Leave and all the craziness that goes on in that episode? Like the white rabbit and [=McCoy=] calling Sulu.
