I am desperate to start doing these. Find a bunch of Non Trek fans and just give them the most off the wall, insane, ridiculous no context screenshot and have them try to explain.
You must log in or # to comment.
I want to see a response to the tasha yar jungle gym fight.
Haha, oh yeah. That thing that looks like one of those competitive tag arenas.
Well American Gladiator was pretty popular at the time, that may have had some influence
Do it. Name It something like WhatTheTrek.
That’s genuinely brilliant naming
If they want to find someone who hasn’t watched Trek, just get the director of Nemesis.
I mean, you could make a big list of people who work/worked on ST that never watched it.
…of course then we get a guy that says he never liked it to reboot the movies… fml
But at least he watched it before rebooting it…
Better than what Marvel fans got.
“What do you mean you made Doctor Strange 2 without watching WandaVision!? It was supposed to be a direct sequel!”
💀
But comic book movies are dumb for dumb people.
Reminds me of the Halo tv series:
“We didn’t play the games or read the novels, but its gonna be good!”
(It was not good)
My God, the Halo series was so bad. So many ways they could’ve made a Halo Universe show that even casuals could watch, but nope, we gotta purposely step on and change everything the fans liked about the franchise.
Which is kinda fucked up because the Halo book is SO fucking good. I dunno if there was ever more written but the first one that told MC’s back story was riveting.
So many stories they could’ve gone with that didn’t even involve Master Chief as well. And if they wanted to do their own thing they could’ve just picked a different time and place and used original characters telling whatever story. Fans would’ve been bummed to not see MC, but it would’ve avoided having to tip-toe around established canon.
But nope, they said screw canon, just make shit up instead.
Or M Night Shyamalan, who clearly understood Avatar perfectly but made it terrible on purpose so he wouldn’t have to make two more.
Nothing else explains keeping the Earthbenders in a quarry.
Ok, I have never seen Avatar the last Airbender, at all. Not the series, or the shitty movie, but even I am questioning how one would trap an earthbender in a quarry…much less multiple earthbenders. All I know is the firebenders started it.
Yeah, in the show they were imprisoned on a metal platform at sea, as far from rock as possible, which makes way more sense. At least until somebody invented Metalbending later in the series.
Agh, these replies keep stabbing me in the soul. The Last Airbender was such a bad movie, even for movie fans, let alone fans of the franchise.
I haven’t seen any Star Trek, use me while you still can!
Alright! Watch this starting from 44 seconds in. Watch for like 10-15 seconds and then try to explain what you think is going on.
/u/mosiacmango@lemm.ee has a point. It would be really interesting to see the reaction to this…
This is what happened to kbin when you posted that link. https://i.imgur.com/yMWMfHj.png
I. Cannot. Stop. Fucking. Laughing.
Holy shit this is a Kbin glitch? I 100% believed the author of the article was just a huge nerd who had found a way to relate Clarence Thomas to Lutan. It… it seemed reasonable somehow…
It’s an image caching bug with kbin. Seems he posted his link the same time they posted that article and kbin decided to use that as the wapo thumbnail. Sometimes it’s naked ladies, but this time it was directly traceable.
Yep, I get the same glitch. I’d thought maybe each of us got our own special jank but nope, we all share the same janks 😅
Having never watched star trek:
Jokey answer: recess but they have access to deadly weaponry and only the strongest will make it to maths class.
Serious answer: I presume this is some kind of proof-by-combat scenario? A local culture demands the protagonists fight one of their own in some cactus-pugilism jungle-gym arena in order to prove their worth, and only then will they grant them whatever boon they asked of these people?
Pretty close! as I recall it’s some honor based thing? the story isn’t… very good. iirc the main king guy wanted to bone the star trek lady that’s fighting in that clip, which upset his favorite wife, so the wife challenged the star trek lady to combat to the death. Why said combat takes place in a jungle gym is anyones guess.
Looks like a mom trying to chase their kid around the house to beat them
I’ve seen that episode, but it’s been decades so I still don’t know what’s going on other than they’re dueling.
Oh, leave it like that - fond memories. Don’t rewatch.
Ok I followed your instructions to a T. It looks to be like a combination of Ru Paul’s Drag Race (and I mean this in the best way possible) and a professional game of parkour chase tag.
Was I close? I’d love to know what’s actually happening!
Edit: OK I read some comments and it’s a battle for life and death. Fuck me.
The episode is an absolute disaster. Widely regarded to be one of the worst, if not the worst, episodes of any Trek show. Super racist trash heap. Was like… The fourth episode of TNG. The cast have asked it to be removed from streaming and syndication
Cheers dude, thanks for explaining it to me. This community is honestly so kind.
99+% of this community definitely is! Perfect time to join us too
Underground cactus tag arena. The gamblers are watching in excitement.
Interpretive pole dancing to the death? Now I’m starting to see the appeal of Star Trek

I’ve only seen DS9, Voyager, and Lower Decks, do I count?
snrk Hey, me too! gigglesnickers
Though, I’ve only missed… Uhhhh… Okay I’ve only seen TNG, Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise. And Online. And a season of Discovery. … Which I kinda regret.
Vulcans are immune to the brown note.
It looks like a device that causes instant orgasms
C-… Can I have one?
… No.
Well Seymour you are an odd fellow, but I must say… You give a good orgasm.
The movie Orgazmo documents the use of the device at least. You’ll need to find Choda Boy to make it, tho.
I can hear that screenshot
How does it sound?
Bwang-ang-ang-ang
I honestly love all those primo sound effects they used to use
My favorite is the EKG bass guitar
If you displease me again,
“Bwang-ang-ang-ang!”
I can hear that comment
If you pester me in DMs I’m happy to do this as a Stargate guy
Well, come on then! What’s the story in the screenshot :P My very shallow awareness of TOS suggests it may well be #1, but could also be #3, which is hilarious to think of but less funny if that’s actually what’s going on 😅
I vaguely remember that they were being held captive and the devices would punish them for misbehaving. Like, some guy lived with a bunch of female robot slaves or something and the episode ended with him having to live with a robot version of his deceased henpecking wife? Shit I don’t know, it’s been like 30 years since I watched the original series…
Everyone is having fun playing air guitar, though bad they may be at it. Except the beige dude who forgot his air guitar at home.
The Wiggles comment gave me a chuckle.
I’ve never watched Star Trek. Quick, give me another!
Image too blurry, but looks like they are babysitting and the baby somehow got out of the crib and the guy in red got kicked in the nuts by the baby while trying to put baby back in the crib, the guy in blue is tried to get the baby back in the crib but got kicked in the chest, the guy standing up actually gets the baby back in the crib but not before the baby bites the guy on his hand then the baby laughs maniacally, so now he’s just standing there contemplating his decision to promise babysitting, while the guy in yellow is celebrating that he didn’t have to deal with that crazy baby because he’s a coward that stood back and watched the other 3 guys deal with the baby.
