While it is often just an excuse to show off voice actor Maurice LaMarche's hilarious William Shatner impression, there are some great jokes in there too. An early one from season four is actually a parody of the Star Trek movies, as the family watch a trailer for the latest film, Star Trek XII: So Very Tired, which sees an ageing cast still playing the roles ("Captain's Log...

Another from Tis The Fifteenth Season sees the Enterprise crew meet the Ghost of Christmas Future ("He's showing me my future - God, I'm so fat!") in a parody of the many TV Christmas Carol adaptations out there. The most recent, and the one picked here, is a spoof of the show's ending credits, with specific parodies for Star Trek nerds to spot. See how many you can get...
