Ironically, for complicated reasons I didn’t get to watch much of TAS when it was presumably first shown in the U.K., even though it was the first Trek actually released in my lifetime. I’ve since seen many of them, but not all…

“Just a bit of fun” is doing a LOT of heavy lifting on this one! Basically a Family Guy cutaway done in the TAS animation style. Though why they had Kirk looking and sounding so different, I don’t know. Rights issue? The exchange with screw guy was funny though. But I don’t quite get how the episode ended…

It was pretty stupid. Basically it was Holmes’s stand-up routine in the form of a TAS skit. Except, unlike lots of stand-up I’ve seen, I didn’t actually laugh.

I'd never heard of the guy until y'all mentioned him.

I’d never heard of him either. Guess CBS couldn’t bother to get a more well-known comedian who is actually funny.

I men, Kevin Pollak's Kirk would've been a great fit.
