20	When writers of sitcoms, whether they are animated or live action, are creating an episode that will contain elements of ScienceFiction and/or the culture that follows it, they will try to show that they are [[JustForFun/OneOfUs just like us]] by cramming in references to every known science fiction television show and movie, especially ''Franchise/StarTrek'' (particularly ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', [[FirstInstallmentWins the first and best-known part of the franchise]]). When dealing with a parody of ''Franchise/StarTrek'', the elements most commonly found are:
21
22	* PeopleInRubberSuits, RubberForeheadAliens or HumanAliens make up the majority of the extraterrestrial populace; these are usually male characters.
23	** A GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe, to add some sexual diversity.
24	* {{Technobabble}}
25	* TheBridge, a room controlling all the crucial aspects of the ship, with the Captain sitting in a great sofa in the middle and the other people in work stations around him.
26	* An obviously doomed (usually literal) RedShirt who will always die
27	* [[TheSpock A pointy-eared, emotionless, alien who warns about the situation being "illogical"]].
28	* [[TheKirk An extremely hammy captain who can only act on impulse and speak in long, drawn-out sentences]].
29	* [[SpecialEffectsFailure Very, Very, very bad visual effects]].
30	* An uplifting musical intro, followed by the CaptainsLog.
31	* A [[TheMcCoy very surly, pessimistic medical officer]], typically in his mid-forties or early fifties.
32	* A morbidly obese Scotsman with a sometimes incomprehensibly thick accent.
33	* A TeleporterAccident with hilarious results.
34	* A ProudWarriorRace with prominent brow ridges.
35	* AVillainNamedKhan with a vendetta against the Captain.

37	Compare MayTheFarceBeWithYou, which is the same thing, but with ''Franchise/StarWars''.

47	* In the anime adapatation of ''Literature/ICouldntBecomeAHeroSoIReluctantlyDecidedToGetAJob'', there is a perverted old man character (a very handsy perv) that is a blatant expy of Picard. He's even bald and wears a red shirt. At the end of the anime, when the main characters set off to rescue Fino, the old man picks them up in his ride: a dragon pulling a shameless rip of the Enterprise 1701 (pre-refit). It was hilariously mis-labeled as the Enterprise-D

51	* The [[AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho Big Finish]] ''[[Series/DoctorWho Doctor Who]]'' audio drama "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho039BangBangABoom Bang-Bang-A-Boom!]]" is a rare parody of ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' with the main location being the space station ''Dark Space 8''.

62	[[folder:Comic Books]]
63	* Brazilian comic ''ComicBook/MonicasGang'' did one for the [[Film/StarTrek2009 2009 movie]], ''[[http://www.judao.com.br/8/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Star-Treko.jpg Star Treko]]'' - it helps the character playing Kirk is known in English as Jim(my Five).
64	* ''ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse'': Mickey Mouse italian magazine has a multiple story-arc parody of Star Trek named "Star-Top" ("topo" in the Italian word for mouse) starring characters from the Mouse universe.
65	* The FandomRivalry between ''Star Trek'' and ''Series/DoctorWho'' came up again in the Titan crossover event ''ComicBook/DoctorWhoTheLostDimension'', in which the alternate-universe Ogron Confederation of Planets in the Fourth Doctor special have ship designs and uniforms that look suspiciously similar to the Federation in ''Star Trek: The Original Series'', but turn out to be violent imperialists under a humanitarian mask. The Doctor describes them as "plain thuggery hiding behind rules and regulations to justify itself".
66	[[/folder]]
67
68	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
69	* ''Film/GalaxyQuest'', an AffectionateParody of everything ''Trek'' that borders on TakeThat and DeconstructiveParody.
70	* The Scott Baio comedy film ''Film/Zapped1982'' had a short ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' parody while the main character Barney uses his powers to make his model spaceship fly around his bedroom. Ironically, the saucer section of the model ship looks a lot like a backwards [[Franchise/StarWars Millenium Falcon]].
71	[[/folder]]
72
73	[[folder:Literature]]
74	* The ''[[Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse Doctor Who]]'' Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures novel ''The Blue Angel'', by Paul Magrs, includes an extended parody of ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' involving the Federation starship ''Nepotist''. It should be noted that the two franchises have a long history of FandomRivalry.
75	* ''Willful Child'' by Steven Erikson, who is better known for his [[Literature/MalazanBookOfTheFallen sprawling fantasy epic]]. Turns out, he also is a life long ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' fan, and ''Willful Child'' is an affectionate parody of the same, which ticks off pretty much all the points. Towards the end, the book even parodies the "Where no one has gone before" thing by the ship approaching the border of the known universe, crossing it and thus approaching it ''again'' after it's moved, and again, and again... Until [[TheKirk Captain Hadrian Sawback]] tells the navigation officer to cut it out already.
76	* The ''Star Wreck'' novel series by Leah Rewolinski are based around a rivalry between the two starship Endocrines, which are somehow around at the same time. Later books added space station Geek Space Nine.

80	* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''
81	** In "The Codpiece Topology" Sheldon attends a Renaissance fair as Spock exploring a planet based on Earth in the 1600s.
82	** Sheldon and Leonard occasionally play three-dimensional chess.
83	** The gang dress as the cast of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' in "The Bakersfield Expedition". They are on their way to the Bakersfield Comic-Con when they decide to stop over at KirksRock, and are stranded when their car is stolen.
84	** In "The Transporter Malfunction", Sheldon dreams that a Mr. Spock action figure (voiced by Leonard Nimoy) asks him to play with it. Later, Sheldon has another dream in which he and the action figure are on another planet, wherein Sheldon is attacked by a Gorn.
85	* ''Series/BlackMirror'': "[[Recap/BlackMirrorUSSCallister U.S.S. Callister]]" is about Robert Daly, who made a mod of his fictional game ''Infinity'' based on the suspiciously familiar ''Space Fleet'' franchise, with him putting on a Kirk-esque persona in-game and the crew wearing blue, yellow and red uniforms. Unfortunately, Daly quickly proves himself to be no Kirk...
86	* ''Series/ElChapulinColorado'' is full of reference to {{kaiju}} and {{tokusatsu}} movies and shows, especially Series/UltraMan, also has some sci-fi episodes with aliens, robots and astronauts.
87	* ''Series/{{Community}}'', aside from having a semi-regular parody of ''Series/DoctorWho'', also has a number of Star Trek shout-outs. Pierce dressed as Captain Kirk for the second Halloween Episode[[note]]Sadly the show resisted the opportunity for an ActorAllusion by dressing him as Spock, which would have evoked Chevy Chase's role in the earlier ''Star Trek'' parody "The Last Voyage of the ''Enterprise''" on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''[[/note]], and Troy and Abed's Dreamatorium is basically a low-tech Holosuite. Troy is also known to be a long-standing admirer of Creator/LeVarBurton, albeit more for ''Series/ReadingRainbow''.
88	* The earliest known televised parody of ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]'' was on the December 4, 1967, episode of ''Series/TheCarolBurnettShow'', in which Creator/LeonardNimoy appeared as Mr. Spock in a sketch (during the show's original run). The premise of the sketch was that Burnett was playing a woman married to the Invisible Man, and had given birth to an invisible baby. When the druggist arrives with an experimental formula to make the baby visible, the Invisible Man insists that it be tested on him first, and goes offstage to drink it. When he announces it works and comes back onstage, he turns out to be Mr. Spock! (The Invisible Man was voiced by series regular Harvey Korman, so Nimoy's cameo is wordless.) The sketch was hard to find for many years because it was from the infrequently-syndicated early years of the show, but it can now be found online [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVH8xgxY9Uw right here]]. One of the many revivals of the show did [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-WBKah3uwg another, more conventional parody]] in 1990-91.
89	* The ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'' episode "[[Recap/DoomPatrol2019S4E3NostalgiaPatrol Nostalgia Patrol]]" has the heroes trapped inside Rita Farr's movies. One of these is a sci-fi flick and blatant ''Star Trek'' send-up titled ''Spartacus 452'', which Cliff funnily enough [[ExpyCoexistence confuses with the actual Star Trek]].
90	* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' famously parodied ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]'' in its first season (1976), in the celebrated "Last Voyage of the Starship ''Enterprise''" sketch, where NBC executives come on the ship and announce that the show has been canceled, with all the actors (except for William Shatner as Captain Kirk) leaving. John Belushi played Creator/WilliamShatner (as Captain Kirk), Chevy Chase played Creator/LeonardNimoy (as Mr. Spock), and Dan Aykroyd played Creator/DeForestKelley (as Dr. [=McCoy=]). This sketch was so popular it might have even had an influence on the {{revival}} of the franchise just a couple of years later. It is also somewhat notorious for casting production designer Akira Yoshimura as George Takei (Sulu), a role he has reprised in every original series parody the show has done ever since, as well as a TNG Sketch.
91	** In addition to the "Get a Life!" sketch the episode is well known for, the William Shatner episode of ''[=SNL=]'' also features a straight ''Franchise/StarTrek'' parody (''Star Trek V: The Restaurant Enterprise'') with Shatner as Kirk, Kevin Nealon as Spock, Phil Hartman as [=McCoy=], and Dana Carvey as Khan (who tries to get the restaurant shut down by a health inspector). Features a nice subversion of a classic Trek trope:
92	--->'''Kirk''': ''indicating a choking customer'' Dr. [=McCoy=], this man needs medical attention!\
93	'''[=McCoy=]''': Dammit, Jim, [[ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder I'm a doctor, not a]]-- oh, sure! ''proceeds to administer the Heimlich''
94	** Patrick Stewart hosted an episode in 1994 that featured a sketch called "Love Boat: The Next Generation" (not to be confused with the show that was actually called that on UPN about five years later). Stewart reprised the role of Picard/Captain Stubing, and featured Chris Farley as Riker, Tim Meadows as Geordi/Isaac, Rob Schneider as Data and Julia Sweeney as Troi. The "Princessprise" was literally the Love Boat mounted on the leading edge of the saucer section. The "A" plot involved a Ferengi who had been dumped by Charo trying to win her back on Valentine's Day (which he does with a well timed red alert). The "B" plot was Data trying to understand the emotion of love (he later presents Picard with a chocolate-covered human heart in an attempt to do Valentine's Day properly)
95	** The Creator/ChrisPine episode in 2017 naturally featured a ''Trek'' parody sketch... but in a nod to SNL's own legacy, he played not ''his'' Kirk but ''William Shatner's'' Kirk from TOS, proving once and for all that he ''could'' do the famous "Kirk voice" he famously eschewed in his movies.
96	* ''Series/TheTwoRonnies'' parodied ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]'' in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtzFNEI-b3Y this 1973 sketch]]. Corbett played Kirk and Barker played Spock.
97	* ''Series/InLivingColor'' had a ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]'' parody sketch called "The Wrath of Farrakhan", with Jim Carrey as Kirk and David Alan Grier as Spock.
98	* Scottish comedy sketch series ''Series/ChewinTheFat'' featured a uniquely Scottish twist in [[https://youtu.be/bLxLmFhROqY this sketch]] which, while incomprehensible to non-Scots (and hilarious to Scots), introduced the concept of “Set phasers tae malky” thereby invoking [[ViolentGlaswegian Violent Taysider]] too.
99	* The first "mini-myths" episode of ''Series/MythBusters'' featured a myth from the Original Series episode "Arena", where Kirk improvised a cannon from raw materials found around the area. There were several points where they parodied elements of the series, generally at [[ButtMonkey Tory]]'s expense--Tory's communicator [[CellPhonesAreUseless never got reception]], and Tory also got "teleported" [[NakedPeopleAreFunny without some of his clothes]] at one point.
100	-->'''Tory:''' Gosh dang it! That's the third time this week!\
101	'''Grant:''' He needs to get a new service provider.
102	* The "Pigs in Space" segments on ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' are mainly generic SpaceOpera parodies, but elements of ''Franchise/StarTrek'' are present, including the name of the spaceship (Swinetrek) and the theme music. The ''Series/MuppetsTonight'' update, "Deep Dish Nine, The Next Generation of Pigs In Space" is more overt in referencing ''Franchise/StarTrek''.
103	* On at least one occasion, ''Series/RedDwarf'' has emphasised that the Red Dwarf is ''not'' the Enterprise and different rules apply. Kryten makes a speech about friendship and duty and responsibility which would not have been out of place as an Aesop on the bridge of the Enterprise, only for an impatient Lister to cut across him with
104	-->''Don't give me any of that Star Trek crap, Kryten!''
105	** The character of ship's android Kryten is played, very deliberately, as a parody of Data in "Next Generation". This was so marked that Creator/PatrickStewart himself, on a visit home to Britain and tuning into what he thought from the newspaper TV listings was a straight space-based sci-fi, honestly thought he was watching a cheap knock-off of his own TV show. Until he realised the truth and started laughing at the gags.
106	* Similarly, ''Series/SesameStreet'' had "Spaceship Surprise", in which a spacefaring crew crash land on a series of [[PlanetOfHats planets themed around multi-consonant sounds]] ("sh", "ch", and "tr"). It got a very brief revival in the form of a single "Spaceship Surprise: The Next Generation" sketch where a new crew (modeled after Picard, Worf, Data, and Crusher) lands on Planet H. Perhaps in keeping with the source material's tendency towards cheap special effects, the spaceship is an obviously-flat cutout (as is the train they encounter on Planet "TR"), something that would normally be beneath the show's standards.
107	* Season 5 of ''Series/BreakingBad'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIsauNJ392o this]] hilarious scene where Badger and Skinny Pete are discussing Star Trek, which includes Badger's idea for an episode featuring a pie eating contest.
108	* An episode of ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck'' takes place in a Star Trek-style future. Complete with a {{Lampshaded}} {{Redshirt}} death in space.
109	** Bonus points for the casting of George Takei in the segment as London's great-great-great, etc., grandson.
110	* ''Series/TheWonderYears'' had a parody of the original series (specifically riffing on the episode "Spock's Brain") where Kevin and three other boys dressed as Kirk, Spock, [=McCoy=], and Scotty deal with girls that manipulate them with their wrist controls, as the narrator's way of explaining that he didn't understand girls.
111	* ''Series/{{CSI}}'' had an episode ("A Space Oddity") where the BodyOfTheWeek belonged to a director who tried to create a DarkerAndEdgier reboot (think of the 2000s version of ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica\|2003}}'') of a science-fiction TV series from the 60s called ''Astro Quest''.
112	* ''Series/StargateSG1'': In the episode "200", numerous other shows (mainly sci-fi) are spoofed when the SGC hires someone to produce the ShowWithinAShow "Wormhole X-Treme !" to maintain plausible deniability for the Stargate Program. One of the pitches he makes is for a blatant ''Star Trek'' rip-off (featuring the main actors in an ImagineSpot) that his audience complains is mostly TechnoBabble.
113	* ''Series/DoctorWho'' has two ''Star Trek'' parodies in series 6. "[[Recap/DoctorWho2010CSAChristmasCarol A Christmas Carol]]" features the spaceship ''Thrasymachus'' with a Starfleet-style bridge, complete with a black man wearing robotic eyewear. "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E8LetsKillHitler Let's Kill Hitler]]" features another Starfleet-style bridge in the ''Teselecta''.
114	* Subverted by ''Series/TheOrville''. It was originally marketed as a straightforward spoof of the ''Star Trek''-style of SpaceOpera, but while there's some humor here and there, it's more of a {{Dramedy}} homage. It channels ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' with Isaac being Data (a robot), Bortus and Alara Kitan being Worf (strong aliens with strict cultures), John [= LaMarr =] being Geordi La Forge (a black man promoted to chief engineer), and Claire Finn being Beverly Crusher (the ship's doctor and a single mother). Additionally, the Environmental Simulator is the Holodeck in everything but name.
115	* One case on ''Series/NightCourt'' is between two groups of Trekkies. It ends with one group beaming out of the courtroom.
116	* ''The Imaginatively Titled Punt and Dennis Show'' ended every episode with a skit parodying a nineties TV show. One was ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', with the main joke being that all the planets looked like [[CaliforniaDoubling the same area of parkland]].
117	[[/folder]]
118
119	[[folder:Magazines]]
120	* What is likely the first-ever parody of ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]'', imaginatively titled "Star ''Blecch''", was published in the December, 1967, issue of ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'' Magazine. A joke used in that issue (Spock saying "He could not believe his ears"), was actually re-used ''in the show itself'' (in the episode "The Trouble With Tribbles").
121	** MAD continued doing parodies of all 6 original cast movies, the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' musical, and sequel series.
122	* ''Magazine/{{Cracked}}'' also did a parody of ''Film/StarTrekGenerations''.
123	[[/folder]]
124
125	[[folder:Music]]
126	* The Firm's novelty song "Star Trekkin", which reached number one in the British singles chart.
127	* Music/NanowarOfSteel: The lead-in track to their song "Uranus" is a spoof of ''Franchise/StarTrek''[='s=] opening narration titled "Bum Voyage", which [[JokeOfTheButt opens with the lines "Space... between the cheeks" and pretty much goes downhill from there]].
128	[[/folder]]
129
130	[[folder:Radio]]
131	* The BBC sketch comedy show ''Star Terk'' (sic) would, as its name suggests, open each week with a sketch parodying ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]''.
132	* ''Radio/ImSorryIllReadThatAgain'' had a ''Star Trek'' parody [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33pDs4X78k0 skit]] in Season 9 Episode 3 (November 1973) starring Tim Brooke-Taylor as the unfortunately camp James T. Kink, John Cleese as an even more unfortunate JapaneseRanguage Mr Sulu, Bill Oddie as "our Scottish engineer, Scott -- Scotty for short -- from Scotland", and Graeme Garden as Spock, with a lengthy parody of the FascinatingEyebrow (yes, on radio). It then descends into chaos when Cleese decides ''he'' wants to be Mr Spock, and gets increasingly OffTheRails from there.
133	[[/folder]]
134
135
136	[[folder:Video Games]]
137	* ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest'' usually throws a handful of ''Franchise/StarTrek'' jokes into a game, but ''Space Quest Five'' sent up nearly every Trope in the classic show's playbook.
138	[[/folder]]
139
140	[[folder:Web Original]]
141	* [[http://www.starland.com/StoneTrek/ Stone Trek]] combines ''Franchise/StarTrek'' with ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', and features the adventures of Capt Kirkstone, Mr Sprock, and Dr Rockcoy on the wooden Starship Magnatize (BCC-1701).
142	* ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'' involves many reviewers from Website/ChannelAwesome traveling aboard the ''USS Exit Strategy'' and takes plot elements from ''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock''.
143	* ''WebAnimation/FreedomToons'': After Donald Trump announced the establishment of a space force as an official new branch of the U.S. military, there's "Trump Trek", parodying the original ''Series/{{Star Trek\|The Original Series}}'', with Trump himself as Kirk, Mike Pence as Spock, Kim Jong-Un as Sulu, and [=SJWs=] as the Klingons.
144	[[/folder]]
145
146	[[folder:Western Animation]]
147	* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresInOdyssey'' In ''[[Recap/AdventuresInOdysseyVideoSeriesE5StarQuest Star Quest]]'', the eponymous ShowWithinAShow is clearly a riff on ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''. It concerns a captain surnamed Quirk, who travels through space in the starship Synergize with a stoic scientist and a Scottish engineer. The show even copies Classic Trek's low-budget special effects.
148	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' is '''''loaded''''' with references to ''Franchise/StarTrek'', from the obscure to the well-known, to the point it is the TropeCodifier and TropeNamer. For example, the sliding door technology that was commonly used in ships in the Star Trek Universe had been adapted for everyday use in the ''Futurama'' one, although it doesn't always quite work.
149	** Another example comes from the episode "[[TropeNamer Where No Fan Has Gone Before]]". In that episode, the fanbase for Star Trek had grown into a full-blown religion, getting to the point where Germany recreated the planet of the Nazis. In the end, all the episodes and movies, along with all mention of the phrase "Star Trek", were banned to a distant planet.
150	** Recurring character Captain Zapp Brannigan has been described by [[WordOfGod David X Cohen]] as "half Captain Kirk, half actual Creator/WilliamShatner." The character makes several [[TheKirk references to Captain Kirk]], including a CaptainsLog (just him dictating his experiences to his second in command Kif).
151	* On an early episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' Peter became obsessed with watching television, to the point it interfered with any chance of Meg getting her driver's license and caused the destruction of Quahog's television satellite. One of the shows Peter was watching was an extremely watered-down version of ''Star Trek''. It came as a neat bit of {{foreshadowing}} too, when in that same episode Creator/WilliamShatner tried to convince Peter to watch television again after Peter had experienced a life-changing event.
152	** In the episode "Road To Rupert" Stewie's teddy bear is accidentally sold at a yard sale, prompting him and Brian to go retrieve it. At one point Stewie thinks that his bear is dead and imagines his funeral being similar to that of Spock's at the end of ''The Wrath of Khan'', complete with Stewie and Brian playing "AmazingFreakingGrace" on the bagpipes.
153	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' has an episode parodying ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''.
154	* The ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' episode "Duck Trek" features Plucky as Captain Kirk and Furrball (in his [[SuddenlySpeaking only speaking role]]) as Dr. [=McCoy=].
155	* ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop1995'' and ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' have both done ''Trek'' parodies.
156	* One episode of ''[[WesternAnimation/AlvinAndTheChipmunks The Chipmunks at the Movies]]'' parodied the ''Star Trek'' movies.
157	* The ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' short "The Gourds Must Be Crazy", which introduces Jimmy and Jerry the Gourd twins, and Scooter the Scottish carrot.
158	* The ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' episode "[[ComicStrip/USAcres Swine Trek]]".
159	* This trope is abused to hell and back in ''The High Fructose Adventures of [[WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange Annoying Orange]]'', particularly whenever the main cast travels between planets. Their uniforms have a LawyerFriendlyCameo of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' 's Starfleet insignia on their uniforms, which also share the same color scheme. Squash inexplicably gains a hairstyle that makes him look like Spock. And, to top it all off, they travel in a spaceship that is basically a souped-up U.S.S. ''Enterprise'' (NCC-1701 model).
160	* ''WesternAnimation/EekTheCat'' episode "Star [=TrEek,=]" complete with a GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe and Red Shirt bashing.
161	* In ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', Numbah Two's little brother Tommy is stuck in a [[ItMakesSenseInContext giant bathtub]] in "Operation: D.U.C.K.Y." There he then finds himself with the crew of a ship that are expies of characters from ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''. The episode "Operation: S.A.T.U.R.N." is a blatant parody/interpretation of The Motion Picture. (A couple of other episodes have Sector V using a spaceship called the S.T.A.R.W.R.E.C.K., while made out of their standard 2X4 tech, heavily resembles the Enterprise.)
162	* In the TrappedInTVLand episode of ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', the main heroine finds herself in a show like Star Trek. She even lampshades how she in a red shirt.
163	* The episode "Star Check Unconventional" of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', which focuses on Dexter and his group of friends attending a convention of the universe's ShowWithinAShow parody, "Star Check". It even opens with a one-and-a-half-minute fantasy sequence of the titular character and his friends in full {{expy}} roles of the characters from the original series.
164	* ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' often had many references to ''Star Trek'', but the episode "Where No Sprite Has Gone Before" really took the cake. Written by original ''Star Trek'' writer D.C. Fontana and mixing in superheroes, several characters were patterned after original series characters: Rob Cursor for Kirk, Pixel for Spock, Gigagirl for [=McCoy=], and Booty for Scotty. Also featured several lines and allusions to other Trek lore, such as "[=AndrAIa=]'s log" or "[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration the next generation]]."
165	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}'''s penultimate episode was "Where No Duckman Has Gone Before." Main characters made up the ''Enterprise'' crew (except for Mambo, who Duckman calls "Sulu"), as they faced off against Khan Chicken. References were made to everything from {{Red Shirt}}s to ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''. James Doohan and Marina Sirtis also did voice work for the episode, and Leonard Nimoy appeared AsHimself in a live-action segment.
