4* The opening of his "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E3WhereNoManHasGoneBefore}} Where No Man Has Gone Before]]" review after Kirk asks Spock if he means ESP as in Extra Sensory Perception: "No captain, they were looking for ESPN for the scores on... OF COURSE IT'S EXTRA SENSORY PERCEPTION YOU STUPID HUMAN!"
5** "Anyway what has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap? [[Series/{{Scrubs}} Kelso]]."
6** "The department heads, including [[Film/{{Mash}} "Hot Lips" Houlihan]], has come to study the crews reactions in space and Gary Mitchell being the enlightened 23rd century guy that he is, hits on her in front of everyone"
7** "Acronyms can be confusing. I once heard of someone commenting on the climactic battle with the octopus monster at the at the end of POTC 2, which is confusing as hell when the speaker means ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' and you're thinking ''Film/ThePassionOfTheChrist''! And you don't know how much I wanted to see the sequel where Jesus battles the Kraken." and then right after words "Kirk is still concerned there could be such a thing, the ESP thing not the Jesus Kraken thing."
8* From "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E6MuddsWomen Mudd's Women]]":
9-->''(Black screen, no background music) Welcome to the start of our big three-week look at Harry Mudd. Yes, all three episodes, such a grand enterprise that when I hinted at its coming, it was suggested that it would be coming in March and be called "March Mudd-ness." Ha ha, please. I hope you all know me better than that by now, so sit back, relax, and enjoy (a starfield appears along with the dramatic music from the PreviouslyOn segment of the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[{{Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E26S4E1TheBestOfBothWorlds}} The Best of Both Worlds]] Part II") Holy Guaca-Mudd-ly (a block letter version of this title swoops across the starfield in emulation of the opening credits to [[Film/SupermanTheMovie the first Superman film]]) SF Debris presents (these words along with the rest of the sentence are in the form of the ''Franchise/StarWars'' title crawl) A Mudd-Summer Night's Dream Harry Mudd Mudd-athon! (the music reaches a climax, the next sentence appears backed by converging diamonds) It's not the heat, it's the hu-Mudd-ity!''
10* Keeping track of Kirk's arousal level throughout "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E7WhatAreLittleGirlsMadeOf}} What Are Little Girls Made of?]]". It even goes up when a woman slaps him.
11** Chuck going on a tangent about how a little voice in his head saying "Bastard" whenever he feels like getting indignant over the fanservicy outfits in TOS. Given that he grew up with ComicBook/WonderWoman, ComicBook/MsMarvel, and ComicBook/PowerGirl. Before he starts to bemoan their less exposing outfits.
12** Talking about how ridiculous it would be for a human to have sex with an android, by listing things humans certainly would have sex with.
13--->'''Chuck''': Feel like Julie Andrews all of the sudden. ''(singing)'' Hamsters, a bottle, a sock, a kazoo, these are a few of things that I'll screw!
14** Adding carousel music to the android duplication device scene.
15* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E8Miri}} Miri]]":
16** "The James T. Kirk approach. If a punch in the face didn't solve your problem, you must have done it wrong, so try again."
17* In "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E11TheMenageriePartI}} The]] [[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E12TheMenageriePartII}} Menagerie"]]:
18** After being told the Talosians were forced underground "thousands of centuries ago".
19--->'''Chuck:''' Some went underground, and some became cyborgs with a hive mind and left. You'll probably never see them again.
20** The merciless heckling of the Starbase secretary inexplicably being played as TheDitz. "I know outside! It's so big!"
21** The ''Series/DoctorWho'' reference:
22--->'''Chuck:''' When he [Pike] returns to reality Vina is with him in his cage. Oh, puzzling, exciting stuff, wouldn't you... (Cut to the present-day Pike slumped in his wheelchair, unresponsive) Captain? Captain!? Yo, [[Series/DoctorWho Davros]]! Wakey-wake, trial at stake-ey!
23* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E13TheConscienceOfTheKing}} The Conscience of the King]]":
24** His list of subjects not shown respect: Whites, blacks, Asians, Latinos, Indians, men, women, straights, gays, bis, the religious, the agnostic, the atheist, the left, the right, the center, the apathetic, consumerism, communism, socialism, fascism, Obama, PM Cameron, his wife Nick Clegg, the Hawkman, [[Series/DoctorWho the Cyberman]], [[Series/BabylonFive the Tallman]], Saruman, Batman, Beltran, Baldwin, and Berman.
25** Drunk [=McCoy=]. "I'm off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of booze..."
26** And later:
27--->'''Spock:''' Doctor, this reeks of gin, and all you've done is drawn a giant penis on it.
28--->'''[=McCoy=]:''' [[NoYou No, you're conquered]]!
29** [After Kirk has just found Layton's corpse] "[[HesDeadJim He's dead, me.]]"
30* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E14BalanceOfTerror}} Balance of Terror]]":
31** As Spock delivers the ExpositionDump:
32--->'''Spock (real dialogue):''' As you may recall from your histories, this conflict was fought by our standards today with primitive atomic weapons--\
33'''[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Archer]]''': [[ImStandingRightHere Hey...!]]\
34'''Spock (real dialogue):''' --and in primitive space vessels.\
35'''Archer:''' HEY!\
36'''Spock (Chuck):''' Led by a collection of mentally disturbed, intellectually challenged apes, whose basic inability to function is an endless source of shame for Starfleet even today.\
37'''Archer:''' HE--! ''({{beat}})'' Okay, I'll give you that one.
38** When Kirk is officiating the wedding:
39--->'''Kirk:''' Since the days of the first wooden vessels, all ship masters have had one happy privilege.\
40'''Chuck (as Kirk):''' ''Droit de segnieur!'' It's the reason I became a captain.
41** When the first Romulan is revealed:
42--->'''Spock''': [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack That's not true! That's impossible!]]\
43'''Romulan Commander (Mark Lenard)''': Yes, Spock! I am your father!\
44'''Spock''': [[BigNo Nooooooo!]]
45* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E15ShoreLeave}} Shore Leave]]": When highlighting a conversation between Spock and Kirk about "a crewman" who refuses shore leave and how his accumulated stress could negatively impact performance, Kirk says this:
46-->'''Kirk:''' That man will go ashore on my orders. What's his name?\
47'''Spock:''' James Kirk.\
48'''Chuck (as Kirk):''' Never heard of him!
49** His quite plausible explanation for why Kirk calls a character "Teller" instead of "Martine" (it was supposed to be a new character, but the same actress who'd appeared prominently in "Balance of Terror" was cast, so the name was changed, but the rushed production meant the pages didn't always reflect that): no one wants to argue with an irritable Kirk!
50--->'''Martine''': I'm Martine, sir.\
51'''Kirk''': That's what I said, stop correcting me, lieutenant!\
52'''Martine''': It's crewman, sir.\
53'''Kirk''': That's it! Your shore leave is cancelled. . . what was your name again?\
54'''Martine''': ''(beat)'' Teller, sir.\
55'''Kirk''': Well have fun staying on the ship, Teller!
56* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E18Arena}} Arena]]":
57** When the dying guy says he didn't actually see anything. Kirk says, "Oh, well, don't sweat it if he bites it, Bones."
58** Chuck's red shirt joke involves counting down to when the red shirt dies, and saying that you can set a watch by these guys.
59** Turns out, Kirk has a case of blue balls, literally. Chuck's not too proud to make that joke.
60* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E20CourtMartial}} Court Martial]]":
61** After it was stated that Kirk won the conspicuous gallantry, it creates the mental image of Kirk going out into the battlefield wearing a clown costume in Chuck's mind.
62** When Kirk talks about how the dangers of heading into an ion storm is common knowledge, Chuck can't help but get a shot in at Archer:
63--->'''Chuck:''' This makes me laugh every time, because I always think of that stupid "I learned this from my dad!" thing that Archer said back in "[[{{Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS01E01E02BrokenBow}} Broken Bow]]" to justify ''not'' avoiding an ion storm, when they could have easily done so. Archer cluelessly speeds ahead into something that a man who got into a fist-fight with a dinosaur says is ''really'' dangerous.
64** The skit following Chuck taking the "Eliminate his heartbeat" quote out of context.
65* From the review of "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E22SpaceSeed}} Space Seed]]":
66-->'''Chuck:''' Kirk dictates a log entry, his bridge crew all collapsed around him. Kirk recommends commendations awarded to five of his bridge crew, while the camera lovingly shows us seven people beside him. What happened during the commercial? "As for Lieutenant Meyers, he cried like a baby at his coming death and then soiled himself. Recommend he posthumously received the Hoshi Sato Cowering Chicken medal, with clusters."
67** Also, the various jabs against the 90s, and saying that people mistook the Eugenics Wars for a [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 "clash between a powerful Asian Warlord and four pizza-eating ninja turtles."]]
68** Khan's first words when he is revived: "Du...du...du...''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever''. [[DevelopmentHell Is it out yet?]]"
69** Chuck's take on Dr. [=McCoy's=] creeping alcoholism, and Kirk's indifference to it, is particularly funny in this review.
70--->'''Kirk:''' ''(speaking to Lt. [=McGivers=])'' If I can have honesty, it's easier to overlook mistakes.\
71'''[=McCoy=]:''' Jim, I drink because I'm afraid to kill myself quickly.\
72'''Kirk:''' Back to work, Bones.
73*** It doubles as a CallBack to a cheesy line in an episode of ''Voyager'' he'd already reviewed.
74* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E23ATasteOfArmageddon}} A Taste of Armageddon]]":
75** When Spock tells the yeoman to "knock her down and sit on her if necessary."
76--->'''Spock:''' But be sure to film it so I can watch it later in private.
77** Anan 7 offers Kirk a drink:
78--->'''Kirk:''' I didn't come to drink...\
79'''Chuck (as Kirk):''' ''But'' I am flexible! Down the hatch!
80* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E26ErrandOfMercy}} Errand of Mercy]]":
81** "See? Even in TOS, they say 'no beaming through the shields.' Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
82** When Kor mentions that he does not trust men who smile too much.
83--->'''Chuck:''' I'm giving this baldric to [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration the first Klingon I find who hardly ever smiles]], [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine even if it takes a hundred years]]!
84** When Kirk and Kor are told that one day the Federation and Klingon Empire will be friends:
85--->'''Chuck:''' ''[as Kor]'' I swear it will never happen, or may my forehead lose its smoothness!
86* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E27TheAlternativeFactor}} The Alternative Factor]]":
87** Thanks to the scene where the two Lazaruses/Lazari fight each other, we now know what professional wrestling looks like from a slushy's point of view.
88** When Kirk questions the purpose of the mad antimatter Lazarus' machinations, Spock says that madness has no purpose.
89--->'''Janeway:''' Says you!
90* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E28TheCityOnTheEdgeOfForever}} The City on the Edge of Forever]]":
91** "My arse isn't in your way, is it? It is? Too bad."
92** The entire conversation between Spock and the Guardian of Forever, after [=McCoy=] has jumped through.
93--->'''Guardian:''' He has passed into. . . what was.\
94'''Chuck (as Spock):''' Oh. [[WhatTheHellHero So, you let a crazy man fly off somewhere into the past to cause God-only-knows what mucking about with recorded history.]]\
95'''Chuck (as Guardian):''' [[NeverMyFault It's not my fault! He's your crazy guy.]]\
96'''Chuck (as Spock):''' [[SarcasmMode Yes. Obviously the last thing I should have expected from]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the "Guardian of Forever" is to actually. . . guard forever.]]\
97'''Chuck (as Guardian):''' Nobody likes a smartass.\
98'''Chuck (as Spock):''' Perhaps your new name could be something like "Butterfingers on the Edge of [[Series/FamilyMatters Whoopsie, Did I Do That?]]"\
99'''Chuck (as Guardian):''' If you don't stop I'll start showing scenes from your first pon farr. You know, the one where you tried to have sex with a coconut?\
100'''Chuck (as Spock):''' Yes, because that's ''so'' much more embarassing than being created to do just one job and then screwing it up.\
101'''Chuck (as Guardian):''' I've '''succeeded'''! Just in a way [[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens far beyond your comprehension!]]\
102'''Chuck (as Spock):''' Yeah, that's not working anymore.\
103'''Chuck (as Guardian):''' ...Shit.

106[[folder:Season Two]]
107* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E1AmokTime}} Amok Time]]", he says that the mere mention of reproduction was so racy that the German dub completely rewrote the episode into a fever dream of Spock's. The punchline?
108-->This was obviously decades ago, and sensibilities in Germany have changed dramatically. I'm not certain, but I think German ''Sesame Street'' features a topless woman as a recurring character.
109** Not to mention...
110--->[[spoiler:'''Spock''': [[Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONN!!!!]] ]]
111** According to Chuck, ''pon farr'' is Vulcan for "Everclear".
112** Chuck's response to Spock's question about how Vulcans choose their mates:
113--->Well, to tell ya the truth, I figured at some point all that bottled-up sexual energy just made you explode and release tiny spores.
114* From "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E2WhoMournsForAdonais Who Mourns for Adonais?]]"
115** Apollo speaks to the crew of the ''Enterprise'', pronouncing his wish to have them "remember" and "drink the sacramental wine" together with him.
116--->'''[=McCoy=]:''' "Sacramental wine?" Jim, I say we at least hear him out!
117** Apollo demands from the Enterprise "that which is rightfully mine":
118--->'''Apollo:''' I loaned Theseus my powertools, and he never brought them back!
119** Apollo commends Lt. Palamas for being "wise, for a woman":
120--->'''Chuck:''' ''(snickers)'' You're awfully brave, when there is no goddesses around.\
121'''Apollo:''' Yes, you're wise for a woman, as low as that bar is. You should-- [[RightBehindMe Oh, Athena is not behind me, is she?]] Last time she hit me on the back of my head, and my laurels went flying into the toilet.
122** Apollo angrily demands that the away team worship him, and Kirk just as angrily declares that they will do no such thing, causing Apollo use a bit of PsychicStrangle on him. Chuck makes the ObligatoryJoke:
123--->'''Apollo:''' [[Film/ANewHope I find your lack of faith disturbing.]]
124** Chuck goes on an digression about Creator/HarlanEllison, and his opinion of Creator/GeneRoddenberry's writing skills, or lack thereof. When Chuck mentions that he thinks Ellison exggerated slightly, he pauses for a brief moment:
125--->'''Chuck:''' ...[[SpeakOfTheDevil Gimme a second to look over my shoulder. He may be dead, but that only means I won't see him coming.]]
126* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E3TheChangeling}} The Changeling]]":
127** The arousal level joke makes a comeback when Spock mentions something about taking in faster than what can be given.
128** After Chuck mentions that one would have to be a complete boob to try to shoot Nomad, the scene cuts to two redshirts trying the same thing, and failing, naturally. Chuck comments how appropriate that boobs sometimes come in pairs.
129* "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E4MirrorMirror}} Mirror, Mirror]]"
130** His cheeky, and wholly accurate, intro to the episode, talking about how many images from TOS are iconic and in the public consciousness -- Sulu shirtless with a rapier, tribbles falling on Kirk, Scotty demanding more time -- but the image of Spock with a BeardOfEvil and the whole concept of an alternate universe of evil duplicates is probably ''the'' most iconic of all. Quoth Chuck, "Mirror, Mirror is ground-floor ''Star Trek''; it's in the lobby, greeting you on the way in."
131** In the iconic [[AgonyBeam Agony Booth]], what kind of hellish torment is it? [[spoiler: Music/{{Nickelback}} songs!]]
132* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E6TheDoomsdayMachine}} The Doomsday Machine]]".
133-->'''Chuck''' "Spock looks over the records of the Constellation and reaches the conclusion that what they are dealing with is essentially a giant robot that eats planets, the most probable suspect being seen here." (Shows a picture of [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie Unicron]]).
134** Also, Chuck referring to Decker as suffering from a serious case of the [[HeroicBSOD WAAAH!s]].
135* From his review of "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E7Catspaw}} Catspaw]]":
136-->'''Chuck as Kirk''': Damn it, Bones! I said to stop doing your ventriloquist trick with the dead patients!
137** Chuck describing one of Sylvia's outfits used to seduce Kirk as the "divorced aunt in the clown pajamas look".
138** After the dead crewman falls limply off the teleporter pad. "Give that stuntman a raise!"
139* In "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E8IMudd}} I, Mudd]]", when part of Kirk's plan involves knocking out Mudd, Chuck can't help but wish that were a regular ''Star Trek'' trope.
140-->'''Janeway:''' We've got a problem Neelix, so I'm gonna dope you up for the rest of the show to not only ensure you won't make it worse, but to let your sprawled body serve as a warning to others.\
141'''Neelix:''' But you know I'm afraid of hyposprays.\
142'''Janeway:''' Well today's your lucky day, Neelix! Tuvok! (claps hands) Bring me my medical mallet!
143** When Mudd explains that he escaped from prison, Chuck believes him. His reason why: given the [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy level of competence shown by the security of a major flag ship]] he doubts a bunch of off-screen nobodies are gonna fair any better. In fact, he's surprised Mudd didn't try to make himself warden.
144** Referring to the crew's plan to LogicBomb the androids as "Operation Dadaism".
145--->'''Chuck:''' You know, I'm already feeling myself rejecting the ways of the bourgeois...
146** When Norman orders the main cast to beam down to the planet, he says that there is a word which is meaningless to the androids, but is important to the humans. In the episode itself, said word is "please", but in the review, said word is "booger".
147* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E10JourneyToBabel}} Journey to Babel]]":
148** His "unofficial" name for conflicting interests leading to passionate discourse is "bitching at each other".
149** His description of Sarek as "Vulcan Music/JohnnyCash".
150* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E11FridaysChild}} Friday's Child]]":
151** Maab's song and dance to get the Klingon's attention.
152** Also, after the RedShirt is killed for pulling his phaser on the visiting Klingon.
153--->'''Kirk:''' He was young... and inexperienced!\
154'''Chuck (as Kirk):''' And that's why I brought him on this mission, where the utmost care was demanded, because I'm an idiot!
155* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E13Obsession}} Obsession]]":
156** The multiple redshirt jokes.
157** "I accidentally brought my bowling ball instead. I need somebody to beam down either the antimatter or my shoes, please.
158* The backstory to "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E14WolfInTheFold}} Wolf in the Fold]]" establishes that Scotty (temporarily) hates all women after being injured by an incompetent female colleague, and that in order to cure him, they have to take him to a titty bar. Later on, Chuck says that since the planet's male security officer falsely pinned the blame for several murders on Scotty, the only reasonable conclusion is that Scotty now hates all ''men'' as a result, and must be treated accordingly. Cut to the ''Enterprise'' crew attending a bar filled with scantily clad male gladiators (intercutting earlier footage from the titty bar with clips from the episode "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E25BreadAndCircuses}} Bread and Circuses]]"), with big goofy grins on their faces.
159** Even better: The music from that end scene is "El Bimbo", aka the Blue Oyster theme from the ''Film/PoliceAcademy'' movies.
160** Chuck's opinion of [=McCoy=] from the same episode:
161--->'''Chuck:''' Prescribing happy pills and whores. You know, Bones is my kind of doctor!
162* From " [[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E15TheTroubleWithTribbles}} The Trouble with Tribbles]]":
163** "With the planet to go to whoever can use the planet most efficiently, or in the event of a tie, a dance-off."
164* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E16TheGamestersOfTriskelion}} The Gamesters of Triskelion]]":
165** Chuck joking that no training is required to beat the shit out of a guy with his hands tied behind his back since a mean four-year-old could punch him in the nuts without being told to.
166* From the "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E21PatternsOfForce Patterns of Force]]" review, talking about how the Nazi Party Chairman is more thoughtful:
167-->And I trust the sentence "He seems a very thoughtful Nazi" will never be taken out of context.
168* From his review of "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E23TheOmegaGlory}} The Omega Glory]]":
169-->'''Kirk:''' It seems impossible; a star captain's most solemn oath is that he will give his life, even his entire crew, rather than violate the Prime Directive.\
170'''Chuck (as Spock):''' But, you violate it all the time, captain.\
171'''Chuck (as Kirk):''' Of course, I never took that shit seriously, but I always figured everyone else did.\
172'''Chuck (as Spock):''' What about Giles, just two weeks ago? (From the episode, "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E21PatternsOfForce}} Patterns of Force]]")\
173'''Chuck (as Kirk):''' That doesn't count.\
174'''Chuck (as [=McCoy=]):''' Doesn't count? Jim, he made a planet of Nazis!\
175'''Chuck (as Kirk):''' So, one man decides to turn a pre-warp planet into a recreation of Nazi Germany and you blow everything out of proportion! We stopped the genocide in time, so quit crying you big baby! Now, where was I?\
176'''Chuck (as Spock):''' That someone would violate the Prime Directive is unthinkable.\
177'''Chuck (as Kirk):''' Absolutely unthinkable. Now, if you'll excuse me, there's a [[MsFanservice lady in a fur bikini]] who has [[BoldlyComing never heard a pick-up line in her life. Don't wait up]].
178** [[RunningGag So they fight and they fight and they...]]
179** Chuck's interpretation of Shakespeare in the original gibberish in response to one of the Yang's mangled reinterpretation of the Pledge of Allegiance.
180* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E24TheUltimateComputer}} The Ultimate Computer]]":
181** Chuck stating that it's all thanks to Dr. [=McCoy=] that you can file an insurance claim on a lap dance.
182** When Daystrom says that you don't shut a child down when it makes a mistake, Chuck says that it's only because you can't and that it would have been a nice option while he was a teacher.
183* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E26AssignmentEarth}} Assignment: Earth]]":
184** "Things are going in the wrong direction in this episode, even the planet!"
185[[/folder]]
186
187[[folder:Season Three]]
188* From "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS3E1SpocksBrain}} Spock's Brain]]":
189** Dr. [=McCoy=] attempts come up with a treatment for Spock's sudden lack of brain:
190--->'''[=McCoy=]:''' Wasn't really sure how to treat having no brain, so I put a damp rag on his head. That's how you treat nosebleeds, but I figured what the hell, it couldn't hurt.\
191'''Kirk:''' Has it helped?\
192'''[=McCoy=]:''' Uh, no.
193** "Science used to be so awesome! Now you gotta use psychic energy your delta wave pulses or hypnotic radiation fields! Back then, you just hit a button and stroll about to show off how awesome your miniskirt looks."
194* "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS3E2TheEnterpriseIncident}} The Enterprise Incident]]" gets him quite confused with Kirk acting more like Janeway or Archer. And then he says you can tell it's the original series because he gets called on it.
195-->'''Chuck''' Hey, it's your idiot choice that put them in this situation, Arch-... Jane-.... Kirk!
196** And this gem of dialog as the Female Romulan Commander flirts with Spock.
197--->'''Female Roumulan Commander:''' The soldier will transform herself into a woman. ''([[{{Franchise/TransformersGeneration1}} cue transformer noise]])''
198** The Commander whispers her name in Spock's ear.
199--->'''Spock:''' Your name is Larry?\
200'''Female Romulan Commander:''' It's ''Lari!'' Why does everybody get that wrong?!
201* During his review of "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS3E4AndTheChildrenShallLead}} And the Children Shall Lead]]", he recaps all the other worst entries for their respective series...by using appropriate clips from other shows and movies.
202** For instance, "[[{{Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS2E15Threshold}} Threshold]]" is summed up thusly...
203--->'''[[Film/JurassicPark Ian Malcolm]]:''' Must go faster!\
204'''[[Series/SesameStreet Don Music]]:''' Oh I'll never get it, oh I'm sorry Ludwig, OH! ''[slams head on piano]''\
205'''[[Film/BackToTheFuture1 Doc Brown]]:''' ''[looking over a piece of paper]''...this is it! ''This'' is the answer!\
206'''[[{{Film/Spaceballs}} Colonel Sandurz]]:''' Prepare ship...prepare ship for ludicrous speed!\
207''[clip of Stargate sequence from Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey]''\
208'''[[Film/TheFly1986 Seth Brundle]]:''' We'll be the ultimate family.\
209'''[[Series/MadMen Don Draper]]:''' [[DiscontinuityNod It will shock you how much]] [[ContinuitySnarl it never happened.]]
210* In the [[Recap/StarTrekS3E5IsThereInTruthNoBeauty "Is There In Truth No Beauty?"]] review, Chuck refers to Gene Roddenbery as "the [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Grunkle Stan]] of Science Fiction".
211* From "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E7DayOfTheDove Day of the Dove]]":
212** "The pistol-whip, the Klingon version of a handshake. A high-five is a knee to the groin."
213** Chuck points out that Klingons aren't known for their witchcraft in reaction to Kirk accusing the Klingons of materializing swords out of thin air.
214* From "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E12TheEmpath The Empath]]"
215** Chuck finding the strangely slurred way and the the body-language with which Creator/DeForestKelley delivers the line "I don't know about you but I'm gonna call her 'Gem'" rather amusing.
216--->'''Chuck:''' Now, admittedly I might just be projecting [[TheAlcoholic my own view of Bones]] onto the character there, but it's just the way he wriggles his body, the way he moves his head, and the way he just kinda spits the word out weird like that; it's like he is gonna say: ''(with a slurred voice)'' "I'm gonna call her 'Gem', and Gem and I are gonna open our ''own'' bar, and we will ''never'' throw someone out just because they peed on the jukebox by mistake!"
217** When Spock uses the Vulcan Nerve Pinch on one of the aliens while they are distracted by Kirk making a speech:
218--->'''Chuck:''' Am I the only one who wondered if Spock saw an opportunity and took it... or he was thinking: "If I have listen to ''one more'' long-winded speech, I'm gonna..."
219** When the alien comes to take Dr. [=McCoy=] after he volunteers for the experiment, Chuck notices that the music used for the scene sounds like SuspiciouslySimilarSong for [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory "Pure Imagination"]]:
220--->'''[=McCoy=]:''' ♪''Come with me/ And you'll be/ In a world of pure intoxication/ Take a hit/ And you'll see/ That your brain has taken a vacation...''♪
221* In the "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E13ElaanOfTroyius Elaan of Troyius]]" review, for a serious discussion regarding the shows depiction of women and the inherent consequences and attitudes it represents, Chuck turns the show over to his guest stars- [[WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie Benny the Spaceman]] (who is uncharacteristically sane this time round), [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]] riding a Yoshi (the Yoshi in question being... a bit of a loud mouth), with moderation from the head of Gregory Hines in a blender.
222* From "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E14WhomGodsDestroy Whom Gods Destroy]]":
223** After Garth claims to be "Master of the Universe", the Heyayayay song starts to play.
224** When Kirk mentions that Garth's victory at Axanar is still being taught at Starfleet Academy, Chuck says that no one would ever associate controversy with [[http://www.newsweek.com/will-studio-sanctioned-guidelines-mark-end-star-trek-fan-films-463542 Axanar]].
225** The climactic battle is edited to resemble a fight from the [[Series/Batman1966 Adam West Batman series]] complete with "biff"s and "pow"s.
226** The crime which Garth's Tellarite flunkie was convicted of, which apparently was so heinous that he had to been imprisoned on Elba II? Impersonating a wheelbarrow without a license.
227*** Which of course comes up again when said Tellarite flunkie proceeds to impersonate a wheelbarrow to entertain Garth.
228---->'''Chuck:''' ''Disgraceful.'' Think of all the licensed wheelbarrow impersonators you are ripping off at this very moment. You wouldn't steal a car, ''would you?!''
229** Waxing philosophical on how Garth and Kirk relate to each other as characters, Garth having been a legendary Starfleet Captain whose career inspired and motivated Kirk in his own ambitions to captain a Federation starship.
230--->It's got all kinds of possibilities, I mean... think about [[Film/StarTrekBeyond a movie where Kirk would come across some former Federation combat legend who now has body-changing powers, and has somehow become a madman, trapping them on some wasteland planet to being launching a campaign of destruction against the very Federation that he served! And]]-- [[ItWillNeverCatchOn Nah, that'd never work. Forget I said anything.]]
231* In " [[Recap/StarTrekS3E20TheWayToEden The Way to Eden]]"
232** "By the way, Screaming Herbert? Worst porn star ever, I don't know how he keeps getting work." Accompanying this sentence? A stock photo of a naked guy with a megaphone with the caption "SHALL I COMPARE THEE TO A SUMMERDAY!!!"
233** He lets one clip stand on its own, with one of the female hippies trying to seduce Sulu, who only says "How do you know what I want?" Chuck then says [[CampGay "It's the grin that sells it."]]
234** Chuck saying "No, please, stop, for the love of God, don't, oh, no." in a deadpan voice in reaction to the space hippie leader about to eat the poisonous fruit.
235** And he rates the episode "1/10: [[ItMakesSenseInContext Written by Herbert]]".
236* From "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E23AllOurYesterdays All Our Yesterdays]]":
237** Zarabeth is all alone, except for [[WesternAnimation/IceAge that saber-toothed squirrel that keeps chasing acorns]].
238* From the "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E24TurnaboutIntruder Turnabout Intruder]]" review:
239** "[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Hi everybody!]] According to my advanced medicalticion training, this woman's problem is she has a penis!"
240** Chuck saying that Lester's assistant, Dr. Coleman, looks like a ''[[Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan Six Million Dollar Man]]'' toy he used to have as a kid.
241** "[[Series/RedDwarf Everybody's dead, Lister]]... I mean Lester."
242** Chuck ends the review on noticing that the episode was actually a bit ahead of its time as "the idea of a woman captain that has gone mad with power and rules her crew with an iron fist is going to have to wait [[Series/StarTrekVoyager a quarter of a century before it is allowed on television]]."
