10 Times Star Trek Appeared In Other TV Shows

This one's both subtle and really, really weird.

To be fair, Star Trek has been referenced in more than 30 episodes of South Park, but there's one that stands tall above all others in its hilariously deranged specificity.

In the season four episode "Something You Can Do with Your Finger," the boys plan to form a boy band, but when Randy finds out what his son Stan is up to, he throws a fit of rage, screaming "No! Nooo!" and headbutting the glass doors of the nearby living room cabinet, smashing the china plates inside.

You could easily miss it, but the sound effects are actually sampled from Star Trek: First Contact, namely the scene where Picard (Patrick Stewart) smashes his own glass cabinet with a gun during an intense argument with Lily Sloane (Alfre Woodard).

It's such a bizarre way to reference a memorable moment from the movie, and yet the sound effect is just vague and brief enough that more casual Trek fans might miss it.
