Sisko: We're so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight. And we would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Section 31 that have chosen to join us here in Quark's at this time. We certainly hope you all enjoy the show. And remember, people, that no matter who you are and what you do to live long and prosper, there are still some things that makes us all the same. You. Me. Them. Everybody. Everybody.

I need this in my life now.

You'll never get Worf and O'brien out of those high payin gigs

I just want somebody to walk up to a replicator and order four fried chickens, a coke, and dry white toast.

I think Star Wars memes might have a claim to Blues Brothers...

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Here's a fun fact:

Carrie Fisher wasn't actually cast in Blues Brothers. Her part wasn't written into the story.

She just showed up on set and did all that batshit insanity on her own, and they ended up putting it all into the movie.

John Belushi shorted her on her cocaine. Can't blame her.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought he snorted cocaine off her, your version makes more sense

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

That's a non-zero chance you're right.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

When John Belushi tells you you're doing too much blow, you should probably listen.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

yep, checks out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait. WHAT?!? Fuck, man, why have I never seen that movie.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You should really watch the movie.

You promised the Kai you'd include her in the memes
Yeah, so I lied to her
You can't lie to a Kai, we gotta include her in the memes

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It's funny that holding the kai title automatically makes you a war criminal

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can't forget about Lower Decks!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Like they said, TNG.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's unfair. There was also DS9, YOY and ENT. And that was the last Trek to exist.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Funny, given how much people hated ENT at the time. It was a good show, but the CGI has aged poorly.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It's not that bad, but it definitely shows it's age.

I decided to watch Babylon 5 again a few weeks ago, that CGI has really aged poorly! Holy shit!!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been watching it for the first time recently, the CGI is sort of as expected, but that theme song brings tears to my eyes hah

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just wait for it to become tense on season 3. They should have changed the opening.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One of the openers in season 1 has one lizard guy drilling into another lizard guy's brain / eyeball, and then cuts right to that song, that was quite the transition hah

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ah, the suliban repo man. Silik got what he deserved.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Our standards have dropped. Its like Star Wars prequels, they were bad, but hot damn they're gold compared to the sequels.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This comment makes me angry for a couple of reasons.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've never seen my two favorite things combined like this before. Thank you, this is incredibly hilarious and I love it.

Same here, you maniacs brighten a cold, dark, rainy day. I would drive into the city clerk's office with any of you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can I ask how you made this? I'd love to be able to add my own text to animated gifs!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I made the clip by cutting the mp4 from the movie to the length I wanted with vidcutter, then used ffmpeg on the command line to convert it to a gif. If you're on windows I'm thinking the gif would be simpler to make, then I used gifntext dot com to add the captions. If you get stuck I can try making your gif for you

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

you know I never thought to ask how it's done, and seeing you show a way to do it has made me realize I need to ask people how they do stuff more

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! I'll have to give that a shot and see what I come back with. Much appreciated!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

No worries, if you have any trouble or anything I'm happy to help. Looking forward to seeing your sick shitpost!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

We have both kinds! TOS and TNG
