10 Star Trek Burns That Still Sting

10. Double Dumbass On You!

When the crew of the Enterprise, or more accurately the crew of the HMS Bounty, end up in 1980s San Francisco, they quickly learn that they need to adapt to the times. Most of them are clad in Starfleet uniforms, meaning they need to ditch their rank insignia. Spock tears away a strip of his robes to wear a headband that covers his eyebrows and pointed ears. So far, so good.

Then, they hit the streets of the city and rapidly find themselves lost among the locals. Admiral Kirk, not understanding the way traffic and automobiles work, walks right out into the road and is almost run down by a taxi. The driver, very understandably, shouts:

Why don't you watch where you're going, you dumbass?

Kirk, at a moment's loss, gathers himself for the greatest comeback in all of Star Trek's many years of history. He takes a breath and retorts:

Well, double dumbass on you!

We sincerely hope that driver applied salve to that burn because that's not going away anywhere any time soon. Well played, Admiral Kirk. Well played.
