Star Trek TNG -- "Cheers"-style intro

If Star Trek TNG had a laugh track and the Cheers intro.

[@psb9001]

Well everyone, I'm not quite sure what happened, but I suddenly got a huge influx of viewers and comments over the last couple of months. I went from like 30K views to 70+! Figured I'd take this moment to say a few things. I got the idea to make this video once at random when, for no reason whatsoever, the Cheers theme song got stuck in my head. Around that time was when my wife was getting me into Star Trek TNG. I loved the episode with Data and Lal, and ran with the idea from there. There were technical issues I was having at the time as well. I have no idea why the sound and video slightly desync in the beginning, despite re-rendering the video several times. I finally gave up when this is the closest it came. I might as well take this opportunity to shamelessly plug myself! If you like this content I've created, I've also recently published my first novel! It's the first book in a series I've been working on for the last 24 years--nothing short of my life's work.

I got to the video from the Star Trek memes group on Facebook, that's probably why you've gotten a bump. I like it, it's a fun video.

[@psb9001]

@@jamesrussell8256 Oh, cool! Thanks, I've been wondering.

[@josephdevaney1429]

@@psb9001 I enjoyed it too. Would love to see more!

[@jasonrogers1576]

Excellent work. This is the best thing I've ever seen. Love this.

[@mirozen_]

This was fun! Well done! 👍 😊

[@mccabber24]

"WOORF!" "Hows life treating ya, Worfy?" "Without Honour!"

[@ivanjursdotter]

Hello crew..... WORF! How life treating yah, worf.....? like i just ran over it favorite targe

[@alm2187]

"What would you say to a nice prune juice, Worfy?" "I would say; prune juice, you're a perfect TEN! I hope you don't think me too FORWARD..."

[@alm2187]

Now then, some true trivia: what Star Trek character was created as an honest-to-gosh homage to Norm? (Hint: anagram.) Think DEEP on this one. If I don't SPACE out, NINE days from now I'll tell you the answer in the...Morn...

[@christianhafer9819]

Hilarious stuff.

[@megabigdump]

LOL

[@ronin7997]

The final Worf still frame... Perfection.

[@SpeedyEric1]

I was hoping to hear a laugh track in the opening, and I wasn't disappointed.

[@corny387]

The "teaser scene" with the laugh track got me, perfectly primed the pump - well done!

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

The nostalgia of rewatching TNG, is wonderful. We want to go where everyone knows their names!! Brilliant. Cheers!!! Worf at end was perfect.

[@psb9001]

Heheh, thanks! I knew I had to use that still of Worf in that pose because I always remembered the final still of Cheers, with that guy who smiled and had his head tilted back, looking at the camera.

[@jameshisted]

Placing of the laughter track after Riker speaks is simply editing perfection. Well done!

[@TokyoXtreme]

Missed out on adding in Kelsey Grammer in his post-TOS captain's uniform from episode "Cause and Effect".

[@almostfm]

"Special guest stars" get mentioned after the main credits and the first commercial break if there is one.

[@zorakj]

@@almostfm Plus there’s no pic of him in 10 Forward.

[@TokyoXtreme]

@jaredbaratta8589 What a relief this is. I've made my choice. Look at her, I've found an angel. An angel who wears an awful lot of makeup. I've never noticed that before. Saavik doesn't paint her face up like that.

[@blackjac5000]

Frasier had been a late addition to the cast in the first place: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHPbeot_oNGae7M

[@iis4isaac]

Worf sits down at the end of the bar and says "Today is a good day to die... Prune Juice."

[@DudeinGA]

I've been binge watching Star Trek TNG and now Cheers too. This somehow makes sense.

[@brasswirebrush]

Fantastic choice of still shots

[@MichaelLoudenTV23]

Another good Star Trek video to the cheers theme would be Deep Space Nine and the "show" could be called Quark's.

[@stang5755]

It's been done! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGXRaKqQpbmAY80

[@itsmeekers]

Exactly since Morn is the DS9 Norm.

[@Toybinger]

I could watch an entire series of this with laugh tracks and audience “awwws”

[@TheRagingBrolita]

And don't forget when characters kiss, the whole audience goes "WwwwhhhHOOOOOOOOOoooo!"

[@BinaryBard64]

Such a silly mish-mash: a down to earth show about timeless, relatable people and a futuristic sci-fi show about relating to strange aliens. Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra! Hohohoho!

[@cellytron]

This is a work of art. I had to pause at the Lwaxana part because I was laughing too hard to comprehend the rest.

[@psb9001]

Omg, I'm so glad someone finally said something about her! Wouldn't you like to get away... from Lwaxana?

[@PanixATK]

Returned and rewatched this. I lost count of how many times I rewatched this awesome video.

[@annasloan2349]

This was brilliant in every way, the laugh track, the music, the shot of the ship freezing and turning sepia. The shot of data looking at picard worried, the shot of Riker was perfect sleeping.

[@tekniko8213]

The show I never knew I needed.

[@LordTalax]

Genius, I wish I had seen this years ago!

[@Goose_Willis]

I've been watching a lot of Cheers lately and this is exactly what I needed.

[@kxmode]

"Star Trek: The Next Generation was filmed before a live studio audience... until we realized they can't breathe in space. Our bad."

[@ghostrider-be9ek]

Thats something that should be played at the trek convetion for the actors ..... LOL

[@debbieruffle5659]

This needs to be a real show 😄

[@Sam-ey1nn]

It is.

[@curtisberard7831]

I think he means juat focusing on Ten Forward rather than TNG

[@soulstrength]

How is this now just appearing in my suggestions? I should have been seen this! I'm so mad...but I'm totally over it now! ❤

[@psb9001]

You're not the only one! I must have won the algorithm lottery. I've been getting a ton of views and comments in the last few weeks.

[@christopherspencer8110]

“It’s a targ-eat-targ world, Guinan, and I’m wearing gagh underwear.”

[@hollymoos9422]

lol I finally saw this episode so I finally get it

[@JREone]

Make it so...good that is awesome video

[@temporaldisplacement]

Kirstie Alley (Rebecca Howe) 'The Wrath of Khan' [movie], Bebe Neuwirth (Lilith Sternin) 'First Contact' [TNG episode], Kelsey Grammer (Frasier Crane) 'Cause and Effect' [TNG episode] ...all Star Trek and Cheers actors.

[@psb9001]

Holy crap, I knew Kelsey Grammar was in Cheers, but I didn't realize all the other crewmates around him were in the show as well! Thanks for pointing that out! :D

[@paktype]

I’ve seen this a million times and it’s absolutely brilliant.

[@AM12655]

Whoever did this, awesome job man! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@psb9001]

Thank you!

[@davidmcauliffe8692]

And of course the barfly in Quark's bar, Morn, is an anagram of Norm. The studios of DS9 and Cheers were right next to each other. Just a little tip of the hat from DS9.

[@depafeo]

bonus points if Ted Danson's animated head in a jar made regular guest appearances

[@Wolfie713]

Rather clever piece you made. Thumbs up from me.

[@danielcooper8571]

Aww man…two great shows from the 90s…got all kinds of nostalgia going on here. Nice vid.

[@viperhalberd]

Needs an "O'Brien Must Suffer" episode.

[@hennpaul]

Sit, Ubu, sit.

[@psb9001]

Good dog.

[@robertd1965]

Just now stumbled across this... very cool.

[@quernalt]

This gave me nostalgia on so many different levels

[@GregRohr]

You have Ro, you have Keiko ... and NO Wesley! Perfection!

[@psb9001]

I'm honestly blown away that I NEVER thought about Wesley until you said something! HAHAHA! Thank you for your comment, my dude! :D

[@blackjac5000]

He's underage.

[@CognitiveDissident.]

I'd happily watch episodes of edited TNG clips with a laugh track and a goofball plot. That would be a massive undertaking, of course, but probably get a lot of views considering how successful this has been.

[@randomactsofgaming845]

Actually a well done bar sitcom set in the Star Trek Universe would be pretty awesome. I would watch it.

[@MrM-u3h]

There's Lower Decks...oh wait, you said well done. nm.

[@Pagliacci_Rex]

Quarks.

[@Justin-wd2vy]

Shame the algorithm had only shown me this today.

[@delilasloan8914]

That background music was spot on cheers...and the use of riker sleeping reminded me of a shot of the cheers theme. This was well done.

[@TheEJ1408]

How cool is that.

[@TalonAvex]

I LOVE THIS!!! I hope you update this and the video level is a little better...BUT BROVO, SIR!!!

[@ApprehensiveWitch]

I am so glad this exists. I just googled it after I found myself thinking that this would mashup perfectly and the internet did not disappoint. ❤️

[@giantskunk]

Wow! Michelle Forbes has a terrific smile! They should have had her character do it more often.

[@thomascollins4325]

Nice job!!! Next TOS with Lt Saavik who always goes "by the book."

[@Slaterybooker]

I would watch an entire episode cut like this lol

[@mrgabnormal]

I love this so much! I had do have replayed this more times than I can count!

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

How about a TOS style _Cheers_ intro?

[@travelphotos7662]

Now, this could make for some interesting Trek and a nice challenge for competent writers - just filmed in the location of 10 Forward and following the lives of the crew only when they appear in 10 Forward.

[@travisbrewer5391]

Okay, that was pretty clever.

[@christianhafer9819]

Absolutely tremendous use of two of my favorite shows. Love it!

[@padraicglynn2657]

O'Brien would probably watch a football match (European style) on the holovision when Ireland's playing (if Ten Forward had holovision).

[@krypton7676]

Dang! Now I wanna watch Cheers real bad.

[@TaliaIGhul]

The Best Sci-Fi and Sitcom from the 80s remixed! lol :D

[@zagnorch1336]

Beautiful. Just... beautiful. I can't think of anything else to say about it, except that it really made my day.

[@waytospergtherebro]

Thank you for omitting Wesley.

[@Technicat]

I love how it's called "10 Forward" instead of "Cheers." I want this to exist!

[@veedub3740]

So well done. Makes me happy every time I watch it!

[@geraldpatterson3903]

0:45.. so spot on with Picard trying to get away..LOL

[@MrKaywyn]

This is stunning.

[@LogoAttitude]

Paramount produced both series

[@jefferyyoung2580]

That cool man ,to the star trek enterprise

[@umstetter]

Normally, I don't comment on things like this, but then, they're not normally this good! Had me laughing at 3:45am.

[@pajamajordan2991]

This is awesome.

[@Flashbang250]

10 Forward spinoff would have been better than Enterprise and beyond ... lmao

[@cliffslatterly2893]

Absolutely phenomenal. Great job!

[@Irosado65]

Awesome!!! Takes me back! Bravo!!!

[@wesn.9174]

Absolute perfection!

[@erichkohl9317]

Thanks for this. Been a little while since I had this much of a laugh.

[@megaRebafan]

sheer awesomeness!! loved star trek and cheers. i didn't think it was possible to combine my two favorite shows, but you did, and it looks great. nice job! :)

[@greenbrown7776]

I know this was mostly for laughs, but I found it rather touching.

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

Ten Forward, Geordi speaking. Yeah just a sec. Is there a Chief Engineer here? -That's you Geordi. Speaking!

[@bigdoublej74]

Awesome job

[@jeremiah5342]

Yes when the show drifted away from exploring alien cultures it did became Cheers in space!

[@TENEBRAELGAMING]

This works TOO WELL

[@mrjali3]

Well played sir!

[@jewzor8137]

Well done sir! I'd tip my hat to you If I could but my sides hurt too much from laughing.

[@spionsilver9626]

old but still very brilliant clip :)

[@SnabbKassa]

With special guest appearance by Kelsey Grammer as Captain Morgan Bateson and Kirstie Alley as Lieutenant Saavik

[@TheASM196]

Well that was really fun!

[@CaptainBars]

The "Cheers" theme would also have worked for a DS9 parody focusing on Quark's bar. Care to make a sequel?

[@psb9001]

I've had some people suggest it over the years since I made this. I've considered it, but I have only seen a few episodes of DS9, as opposed to how I've seen the entirety of TNG several times. So, I wouldn't be able to really do it justice.

[@ELCADAROSA]

It’s been done: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGXRaKqQpbmAY80

[@Evasius]

Love it! 'Ten Forward' good buddy

[@xyz-ns7ym]

The end looks like worf is gene roddenberry laughing at his own creation

[@chrisstetsko5020]

Well done!

[@GregoryMCMAHON817]

That is very cool.

[@ACtheLegend]

It's just like the "Flaming Moe's" song!

[@psb9001]

When the weight of the world has got you down, and you want to end your life.. Bills to pay, a dead end job, and problems with the wife! Well don't throw in the towel cuz there's a place right down the block where you can drink your misery away!

[@debonaire_nerd]

Remember...Jean Luc doesn't have a brother...until he gets his own spin-off in Picard.
