History Funny / StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry

** ''Not'' so humorous to Brock Peters, however. He was rather uncomfortable playing a racist, having been on the wrong end of racist treatment throughout his life (which arguably drives the point home all the more effectively).

'''Bones:''' I'm gonna find a large pot of black coffee.\\

'''Chekhov:''' You want to go back?\\

** Also, one last time, Chekhov proudly claims something to be from Russia. Namely, the "Russian epic" ''Literature/{{Cinderella}}''.

'''Scotty:''' ...could take weeks, sir.\\

* After Chekhov wonders why the conspirators couldn't just "waporize" their uniforms and magnetic boots, Valeris demonstrates why by phasering a cooking pot out of existence, setting off an alarm. The OhCrap of the galley crew is funny enough as it is, but then Scotty ''and'' Uhura both come in through the end of the scene asking if someone fired off a phaser aboard the ship.

** In addition to those two, Chekhov has to hold back a pair of security officers rushing into the galley just a split-second behind Uhura, decked out in armor and phasers at the ready!

** Later on, when the assailants are found murdered by a high setting stun from a phaser, Bones inquires why ''they'' weren't vaporized. Chekhov states plainly that it would set off the alarms, like he knew the whole time.

'''Shapeshifter!Kirk:''' Must have been your lifelong ambition!

--->'''Shapeshifter!Kirk:''' I can't believe I kissed you!\\

** Also the operators. From the moment they see a blip on their radar... They're in no hurry. The one that hails the ''Enterprise'' does so in a slow sluggish manner, clearly looking like he's been deep in a bottle the entire time. And when he gets no reply after several calls, he's still in no hurry, nor is his superior who comes to check on him. They're both just so bored (and possibly drunk) out of their skulls, that this perimeter warning doesn't faze them.

---> "CRY ''HAVOC''! And let slip the dogs of war!"

** Speaking of blind... the Federation President was supposed to be blind (the glasses he puts on to see the Operation Retrieval papers was a prototype of the [=VISOR=] Geordi wears on TNG), so after flying-tackling a blind man as weapons are being fired, Kirk thinks this is the way to help the man calm down!
* [=McCoy=] is on the witness stand in Klingon court and is asked his current medical status. He makes a joke about how it's fine, aside from a touch of arthritis. A SINGLE KLINGON laughs his head off while the rest of the assembled audience is quiet. Yes, some random Klingon in the peanut gallery thought that was the funniest thing he's heard all day. Yes, a Klingon guffawed at a ''dad joke''.

* The ship is scoured for the missing gravity boots and finally found among the belongings of Crewman Dax ([[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine no relation]]. [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Probably]]). Chekov smugly deposits the boot in front of the crewman, with the declaration "If shoe fits, wear it." Problem is, the shoe DOESN'T fit, as the crewman can't wear standard issue boots because of the unusual shape of his feet. This is capped by Uhura's FacePalm.

* The entire scene where Uhura, the ''Enterprise's Communications Officer'' scrambles through multiple Klingon-translated Shakespeare prints to find the words to say that will allow them to pass safely through a scanning station. MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels is in full effect as the YeOldeButcheredEnglish of the translated books only serves to confuse the station operators.

** Made a hell of a lot less funny later on with [[spoiler: Valeris']] IronicEcho:

* Sulu's response to Ensign Rand after witnessing the explosion of Praxis and being warned off by the Klingons is hilariously snappy:

* Spock invites Doctor [=McCoy=] to assist him in modifying a Photon Torpedo to home in on a cloaked warship.
