History Funny / StarTrek2009

--->"Spock, I look forward to the destruction of your planet, and every planet around it. I've been waiting for this day my whole life. You will die. Your people will die. Creator/JJAbrams will die. You will all die."

*** not so funny when one stops to think that Starfleet most likely exiled Scotty there to protect him from being killed by a justifiably pissed off Archer who most likely didn’t take kindly to learning Scotty had used HIS DOG as a test subject for his transwarp beaming experiment and subsequently LOST HIM.

-->'''Scotty''': Get down! (''Keenser shakes his head.'')

'''Scotty:''' ''[soaking wet]'' I, um, yes -- can I get a towel, please?\\

*** The towel comment was [[ThrowItIn an ad-lib]] that the cast thought was so funny, it took all of Zachary Quinto's willpower to not [[{{Corpsing}} corpse]] after everyone else had. In fact in the first take (which can be seen on the blooper reel), he (and Chris Pine) lost it completely, and they couldn't save the take and had to do it over. The final scene that made it in the film has his mouth just twitch enough to pass.

* Scotty gets most of the funniest lines in the film (it helps that he's played by comedian [[Film/ShaunOfTheDead Simon]] [[Film/HotFuzz Pegg]]): "Can I have a towel?", "Do they still have sandwiches?", "engineering parlance", etc.

* Kirk boards the recruiting shuttle heading for Starfleet... and walks smack dab into a low bar.

** Scotty describing transwarp beaming as "like trying to hit a bullet, with a smaller bullet, whilst wearing a blindfold, riding a horse!" The Spock finishes his calculations on Scotty's terminal:

'''Spock:''' Your equation for transwarp beaming.\\

'''Spock''' Your equation for transwarp beaming.\\

* Scotty gets most of the funniest lines in the film (it helps that he's played by comedian [[Film/ShaunOfTheDead Simon]] [[Film/HotFuzz Pegg]]): "Can I have a towel?" "Do they still have sandwiches?" [[MoodWhiplash "I like this ship! You know, it's exciting!"]], "engineering parlance", etc.

---->'''Scotty:''' [[SevenMinuteLull I like this ship]]! Ya know, it's exciting.

'''Spock''' Your equation for transwarp beaming.

---'''Scotty:''' What's that?\\

** "The notion of transwarp beaming is like trying to hit a bullet, with a smaller bullet, whilst wearing a blindfold, riding a horse!"
*** Immediately followed by "What's that?" "Your equation for transwarp beaming."

-->'''Kirk:''' ... [[YouGottaBeKiddingMe Bullshit]].

'''Scotty:''' I'll tell you when it reappears. I don't know, I do feel guilty about that.

--->'''Spock Prime:''' I am Spock.
--->'''Kirk:''' ... [[YouGottaBeKiddingMe Bullshit]].

--> '''Spock Prime''': He inferred that universe ending paradoxes would ensue should he break his promise.
* Spock enters the Jellyfish, it recognizes and identifies him as "Ambassador Spock". Kirk's reaction is a deadpan, flat, dismissive "Wow, that's weird." that makes it clear to Spock he's fully aware of the ship's origin and has been keeping it from Spock.

** Becomes something of a FunnyAneurysmMoment given the nature of the accident that caused Creator/AntonYelchin's death.

* Spock to saying "Live Long and Prosper" to the Vulcan Science Academy, you can see the hint of satisfaction in his face and the way he says it, he might as well be flipping them the bird.[[note]]His words might be "Live long and prosper," but his inflection is "Eat shit and die."[[/note]] The music for the next scene (set in a dive bar) starts up early, leaving Spock to linger on the screen for several seconds looking like a badass while the BGM backs him up.

* [[AppetiteForApathy Kirk and his apple during the Kobayashi Maru scene.]] When he blatantly cheats, he does it with ''style''.
