Copyright is a thing that CBS tends to enforce rather militantly... If this video does nothing more for you but tell you the ten reels you should hunt down for yourself, I'd argue that's still delivering value. But hey, if that doesn't float your goat hopefully you realized that's what this video was gonna be by the 90 second mark, so you didn't waste *too* much of your life. 🤷‍♂️

[@Frank_James]

Right?!

[@sanddagger36]

I think the best blooper has to be Michael Dorn forgetting to get out of his chair when assigned a task by the captain. Instead of breaking character Patrick Stewart scolds him "That means you mr worf."

[@sanddagger36]

Best intentional break has to be when The captain informs Riker that he beamed Geordi and Worf up hours ago and left Riker behind. Michael Dorn and Levar Burton proceed to high five behind the captain as if glad they are not in the same situation as Riker.

One of the best bloopers from Star Trek IV is when McCoy tells Spock that nobody's perfect, and after a few seconds of silence, Spock just says, "Oh yeah?"

[@BigAL68xyz]

In the film, it went down in Trek history as the first time McCoy got the last word in. So that makes the blooper that much funnier.

[@thomasnieswandt8805]

You forgot the "Beyond" blooper with Simon Pegg. Also on the bridge of the Franklin... when Scotty handed the cable to the alien ladie to plug it into the console, Simon Pegghad it on the wrong side of the console. She looked at him "Its to short" and Pegg (god knows why) answers "Oh baby you are not the first girl saying it to me"

[@kehenschen]

Jonathan singing TNG theme song with Marina dancing behind him is by far one of the best bloopers!

[@foxfireinferno197]

One of my favorites is simply Worf at tactical/communications. "Captain, we are receiving no ..." *memory failure* "... shit."

[@thesovereign4218]

Q on Voyager being unable to say "omnipotence" is a great outtake! :D

[@philtkaswahl2124]

I like bloopers where at least one actor maintains character even as everyone else is breaking into giggles at the flub.

[@Tesserex]

My favorite of these is when Patrick accidentally says "Admiral Data" and Brent stays perfectly in character and replies "Sir, I do not believe you have the authority to promote me to the rank of admiral." The rest of the cast is just bewildered for a moment.

[@NoewerrATall]

Especially if some of the actors are portraying non-humans. It makes them seem kind of more "real".

[@HerrIMorke]

Anson Mount really is underrated. He was the best part of The Inhumans and I ADORE him as Spike.

[@grahamcann1761]

One I remember fondly is from the original Star Trek series episode, "The Trouble with Tribbles." When Ed Reimers, playing Admiral Fitzpatrick says, "and Captain, remember you're in good hands with Tribbles." (Ed Reimers was the spokesman for Allstate Auto Insurance, and his commercials would end "and remember, you're in good hands with Allstate.) As always thank you so very much for the videos.

[@rdfox76]

Bonus, someone off-camera tossed him a tribble and he held it out to the camera, in exactly the same way that his Allstate commercials ended with him holding a model house out to the camera. Also, apparently, for *weeks* after the episode shot, tribbles kept cropping up *everywhere* on set as pranks...

[@erictaylor5462]

11:10 I have a theory as to why Worf uttered the line, "I am not a merry man" so emphatically. As a child Worf had been forced to play in a Robin Hood school play and he hated it. Q knew this, and that is why he chose to make Worf the same character he had played in school. Because that is something Q totally would have done.

I missed Gene Roddenberry's presentation of the Blooper reels at '73 Equicon. The fire department did not let any more people in the room to view the film. No one was there getting autographs because of watching the blooper reel. What was a 12 year old boy to do. I had to hang out with James Doohan, Deforest Kelly and Water Koenig at the autograph table.🤣

[@bbartky]

Wow! You were at Equicon ‘73? My very first convention was Equicon/Filmcon in ‘76. I didn’t meet any of the cast or Gene Roddenberry there but I eventually did so at later cons.

[@bretsteinmetz3342]

One of my favorites comes from season one of TNG, the away team beams on to the bridge of the USS Stargazer. Brent Spiner walks toward the dedication plaque and in a James Stewart drawl, he exclaims, “USS Stargazer… well, for God sakes Mary, they built this thing in Bedford Falls!”

Back in the early 1990s I bought a TNG blooper tape at a CreationCon, which happened on a very regular basis in the SF Bay Area (where I lived at the time). It's on VHS and I'm sure I still have it, though whether it's still playable is anyone's guess. I used to volunteer to work them (which was great as it meant attending without having to pay). One time I was checking hand stamps at the door of the convention hall, and almost didn't let Marina Sirtis enter because I was so focused on my task that it took me a moment to register who she was. 😅

[@psoma_brufd]

There's some great Star Trek bloopers, TNG especially with Frakes takes being brilliant! Tracey! Ryan's Edits does some brilliant intakes using the outtakes which work really well inserting the outtakes into the scenes from which they come!

[@Knightess]

One of my favourites is the only good thing to come from the TNG S2 finale. Stewart flubs a line, mentioning a non-existant admiral while clearly referring to Data. Spiner returns in all Data seriousness, "Sir, I do not believe you have the authority to promote me to the rank of admiral." He does it so in character that the cast seem to question whether or not it's part of the script before Spiner breaks character and everyone cracks up.

[@lotstodo]

Doug Jones is so good. The way he swings his arms behind his back, he is a great alien.

[@ashedarke]

[@PaoloGiovanni]

In 1988 Gene Roddenberry showed us his famous worn out TOS blooper reel (on actual celluloid) following a talk he gave at The Hult Center for the Performing Arts in Eugene, Oregon when I was 15. He did an additional limited Q&A session where I was able to ask a question, the details of which have long since faded from memory (though I think it had to do with the then “new” Trek, TNG). It was an event only a true fan (as in fanatic) seemingly should’ve enjoyed, but surprisingly my buddy, who was a year older and decidedly not into Trek, genuinely had a good time. In fact, we were so amped on up nerd-dom that afterwards, while waiting in the dark on the sidewalk for my parents to return to pick us up, we started singing made-up Star Trek sea shanties, most notably “I Found my Thrills on Star Trek Hill”. 🖖🏻

[@kleidenwaht]

They were less greedy back then. I saw James Doohan in 1982 for free at Carleton University. He was paid by the student's association and gave personalized autographs to people, again free of charge. Years later all the Star Trek actors charged for autographs including Doohan.

[@PaoloGiovanni]

@@kleidenwaht Yeah, but I get it, most of them didn’t end up having the most lucrative careers, plus the venues and managers require a cut, it’s kind of like they’re working for tips, once they finally get “paid”. However, some will still talk and chat if you’re passing by. One time my girls and I got late to William Shatner’s booth when everyone had already left, but as we turned to leave, my childhood hero called out to us to come back; he’d come all the way from backstage to the signing table to visit with us and sign the photo we’d brought so we didn’t leave crushed.

[@sandrafaith]

What an awesome story! I had to read your comment out loud to my wife, who is a stagehand and worked many shows at the Hult (we lived in Eugene for about 20 years). I've got a photo of his signature backstage where he signed the wall! And now we know how that came to be. 🖖 Edit: I just dug up the photo. It reads: Hello Eugene from Eugene (Roddenberry) L[i]ve long, love long. then his signature. (Where I wrote "L[i]ve," it's because the letter after "L" has a chalk line over it, so the letter's obscured. The "i" is a guess on my part.) He printed the message it in caps/small caps for the most part, except for the "d"s, "e"s, and "b" in his last name.

[@FumetsuGolf]

@@kleidenwaht James Doohan was many years out from his acting career when he started charging for autographs at conventions. He had to support himself somehow. And as fans, we were happy to give back. At least, I was. His autograph is one of my treasured possessions. I was more than happy to pay for it. It wasn’t greed that motivated him. He did truly adore the fans.

[@teg24601]

The TNG bloopers were hard to come by due to the cost of scanning the film at the time. However, when they did the HD remasters, they scanned all of the film, which is why we now have the bloopers. To get some more from DS9 and Voyager, we will need to wait until their HD/4K remasters, when Paramount realizes how cheap they will be compared to a modern Trek episode.
