10 Unintentionally Funny Moments In Star Trek
1. “Get The Cheese To Sickbay’
Come on now—there may be a great
many planets across the iterations of the Star Trek franchise, but there’s no
planet on which we were going to forget this iconic moment.
Star Trek Voyager was always a divisive series, and many fans still see it as the cringiest Star Trek series, but this line from the first season’s finale “Learning Curve” perfectly encapsulates the show’s tragic failure to recapture the magic of the franchise without succumbing to tragic case of… well, overwhelming cheesiness.
B’Elanna’s deadly serious “Get the cheese to sickbay!’ is still seen by many fans and critics alike as an indication of the show’s hopeless uphill struggle to reach the heights of quality scaled by earlier versions of the franchise, but the deadpan delivery at least provides the biggest unintentional laugh in Star Trek history.
We could try to justify the line with context, but if explaining the episode made the line any less laughable, this wouldn’t be Voyager.
