^^^^ Literally one of my favorite Geordi and Data interactions for SO many reasons.

First, I love that Geordi will talk to Data about almost anything, but when Data starts in on some stupid joke, Geordi’s first instinct is “Oh, no…” followed by a sprint for the exit. Like he doesn’t even take his VISOR with him. He will do anything, pay anything, leave his sight behind to escape the monotone, hallmark humor he is about to be subjected to.

Second, I love that Data’s first instinct, when his friend begins to flee from his attempt at humor is to block his only route of escape. As if Geordi is being crazy and he just doesn’t understand how hilarious this joke is going to be. He must tell his best friend his new joke, no matter the cost.

Third, I love that then he slowly pushes his friend back into the room as he recites his stupid, centuries-old joke in a complete monotone. This is what the rise of robots will look like. Not Skynet. Not the Matrix. Just socially awkward, pale androids locking us in a room and forcing us to listen to their bad jokes.

And finally, I love that Geordi listens, then just shakes his head, and Data shakes his head, too. Like I can’t tell if Data is following Geordi’s head movements like a kitten or if he’s shaking his head because deep down he knew it wasn’t a good joke and Geordi is just confirming his suspicions.

I JUST LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCH

I’m sure this has been done before but a star trek tng au where everything is the same except it’s in the style of the office

  • whenever riker or wesley does something dumb/ill-advised there’s a minute-long series of shots cutting from person to person on the bridge and they’re all staring into the camera So Exhausted
  • scenes in turbolifts where characters make comments about the current clusterfuck going on aboard the enterprise
  • geordi: “if this is another holodeck disaster I’m gonna [series of bleeps as he rushes out of the lift]”
  • tasha: “I wish people would stop asking me if I would kill will riker just for a chance at his GIRLFRIEND like, come on, people. The answer is YES, I’ve said it MANY TI-” (the camera cuts away because something just exploded)
  • guinan: “the gossip says this whole problem could have been avoided but somebody messed up” [quiet speaking from off-camera] “do I know who did it? well, yes, but I’m not here to tell tales”
  • worf: “it was wesley”
  • picard just wants his ship to run smoothly, ok?
  • so the captain’s interviews start out really insightful and well-spoken but by the end of every episode he’s just staring into the camera tiredly like “this was not the plan”
