10 Times Star Trek Appeared In Other TV Shows

2. Robot Chicken

The Big Bang Theory Star Trek

Believe it or not, Robot Chicken is still on the air to this very day and even celebrated its 200th episode last year, proving the unexpected viability of a stop-motion animated series made with toys, action figures, and plasticine.

While it's fair to say that the show has parodied Star Wars far more extensively - even releasing three outright Star Wars specials - Robot Chicken has also delivered more than 15 skits making fun of Star Trek too.

There are a ton of hilarious ones to choose from, though the easy winner is the season seven skit "Star Trek: The Sext Generation."

Patrick Stewart lends his voice to portray Captain Picard, who exits the Bridge to be relieved by the Enterprise's night crew, led by Captain Jake, who just so happens to be voiced by Chris Pine of all people.

As it turns out, Captain Jake is a beer-swigging meathead without any real leadership capabilities, as becomes a major problem when the Borg attack.

Jake tries to diffuse the situation with a keg party but the Borg simply tell him, "Partying is futile," yet when they attempt to assimilate him, his beer-filled blood sends the Borg into a beer-chugging frenzy.

Back on the Enterprise, a seemingly angry Picard arrives to relieve Jake from his shift, only for Picard to then ask for a beer and start partying with the crew himself. That Patrick Stewart agreed to play the part himself makes this a truly legendary parody.
