That poor kid would have better off on that planet where they kidnapped kids to raise after poisoning themselves with their own power plant radiation.

He would have been better off if they left him on Tasha's lord of the flies planet. Worf was not a good parent.

No, not the planet of hauntingly cheekbony women...and drugs?

Now listen drugs only make you feel good, but they don't! Because, um, they're drugs! So don't use eye lasers. See below:
This is your Riker

This is your Riker on eye lasers

Any questions?

No frying egg? I can't not do drugs unless there's a stern, balding white guy frying an egg.

When I was 12 or so, this episode was the funniest thing I had ever seen.

For what it's worth, I have never watched an episode of that show, but I felt like I understood what was going on here just fine 👍

Good, lol. I wasn't sure whether it made more sense to post this one in TenForward or the Simpsons community because it felt so niche.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Both sounds good

There's a group on Facebook called Treksons where people post Star Trek/Simpsons mashups like this. Futurama sometimes sneaks in, too. It's really hilarious, and I highly recommend it if you're on Facebook and like both shows.

That is so specifically up my alley, but unfortunately I haven't been on Facebook in ages. Maybe I'll see the ones that break containment.

Alexander was a mistake… by the writers. When writing a syndicated TV show, remember to use protection. (And happy fedicake day, TPM!)

Is that… cellular peptide cake?

We can always get another ship counselor.

With mint frosting!

If anyone doesn't know the scene where they put the Simpsons into witness protection, they need to fox that asap.

The whole episode.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Like, this episode is an excellent introduction to the Simpsons. It has so many jokes that set standards for comedy. Including one that family guy still hasn't managed to rip off properly, but golly they sure keep trying.
