"I swear, it's not that ridiculous all the time..."
During TNG S1E4 Code of honor: "Yeah, it looks bad, but there's an important progressive message in there somewhere."
Enterprise pilot episode: "Ok, so Rick Burman had a bit of a horny streak, but it gets better."
Star Trek was always horny.
Damn, I thought nothing could get worse than Beverly the ghost diddler bust I guess I was wrong.
It's the episode that introduced Kahless and Surak to Star Trek lore.
Damn really? Alright, respect.
"I want to help you, George Washington? Even your dreams are square."
Probably actually Bizarro George Washington, then.
Evidence that the musical episode is only like the seventh goofiest premise in Star Trek. And I'm not even counting anything from Lower Decks.
It was the 60's what do you want from them???
I mean this is pretty true of any Star Trek series. DS9 from the 90s probably has the widest gulf between grim and goofy episodes; in one episode there's a war criminal who gloats about committing genocide and getting away with it, and another episode from the same season has the cast playing hopscotch.
“Alamarein”
dies of cringe
They never really resolved the tribble issue. I really want to know if they had to call in the Klingons to help get rid of them again after that episode

All great sci fi has its moments of levity. People who can't or won't accept that, I don't know what to tell ya.
I'm all for it personally
Isn't it funny that the events of modern day are hundreds of years past for the members of Starfleet, yet all of their cultural references and entertainment options revolve around our period?
Haha, and sometimes they even try to throw in some made up one to address that, and it sounds goofy.
"Famous leaders, such as Alexander the Great, Winston Churchill, and Xergon the Merciful!"
REAL SIMULATED EVIL LINCOLN IS BACK!
that's right.
Is... is that the actor that played unmasked Darth Vader in RoTJ?
