I can also point out that SNL did a sketch with over the top performance by John Belushi as Captain Kirk. There was another called Fridays that had Bill Shatner acting like Capt. Kirk and talking into his wallet like it was a communicator. Mind you this was pre cell phone days. Living Color did a skit as well and Jim Carey did a bang up job as Kirk.

It should also be noted that the more "meta" aspects of Denny Crane's references to Star Trek played fully into the rest of the ensemble's ongoing question of his mental fitness. It was established that he had mild cognitive impairment, but Denny's more eccentric and extreme actions frequently led them to wonder if he was beginning to suffer from Alzheimers' (as his father had). I don't think it was ever revealed whether or not he actually WAS in the early stages, but it was certainly implied that he liked to play-act as if he was just to amuse himself at everyone else's confusion. So anything in the show that may point to Denny Crane actually, in reality, being Captain Kirk, could well have been Denny having a laugh.
