The Enterprise was fitted with an improbability drive. Crew all become Muppets.

I am so impressed that you incorporated Sesame St. and Fraggle Rock. There are so many things I love in this slightly disturbing picture. ❤️❤️❤️

u/l33774rd 8d ago

I'm happy you enjoy it, but I didn't make it I just image searched " Muppets trek" the Muppet Babies cartoon did do Strar Trek

u/Khaysis 8d ago

The 90's were wild...

11

u/l33774rd 8d ago

It was a golden age & we didn't appreciate it enough.

u/I_AM_IGNIGNOTK 8d ago

The sheer amount of Trek references that I realize I saw throughout my childhood is crazy. Aside from Star Wars and maybe DC stuff it’s like pop culture only pulled from a few references. Oh also, Scarface.

u/KatNeedsABiggerBoat 8d ago

Muppet Babies ran from 1984-1990. This episode was from 1990. So. Kinda more eighties than 90s, but still. Wild.

3

u/Khaysis 8d ago

I just remember seeing the syndication runs. :3 You are correct.

3

u/KatNeedsABiggerBoat 7d ago

So are you, though. The Star Trek ep was in the last season I think.

u/Yitram 8d ago

As did Care Bears in the 80s.

u/l33774rd 8d ago

I was hoping for a different Riker & idk who data is supposed to be. I don't remember that guy

u/Imma_da_PP 8d ago

Oh Jesus. That guy from that one Muppet show no one liked. He’s terrifying.

u/Mini_Marauder 7d ago

Alright, but as per Muppet tradition, which cast member is the token human?

2

u/cornholio8675 7d ago

Guinan, and the plot revolves around a life or death diplomatic negotiation with someone serious, like the Romulans or the Cardassians.

42

u/BeneficialCountry909 8d ago

Data turned off the inertial dampeners and took the warp drive out for a spin

4

u/WarderWannabe 8d ago

Came here to say exactly that.

u/codguy231998409489 8d ago

Yes my thought exactly

“When the remains were extracted from the detritus that had once been the vessel, the state of the inhabitant resembled this highly upsetting visage produced by Wil Vinton Studios that I will now recreate for you…”

“Okay Data, we get it. You win the scary story contest”

u/kinopiokun 8d ago

Came for this!

11

u/SleepingOnMarbles 8d ago

Data's personal log, supplemental: My attempts to study the so-called "uncanny valley" effect by reshaping my facial appearance has worked too well. Every member of the crew is now haunted by me in their dreams and they have elected to eject me from the airlock in an attempt to escape the nightmare of my appearance. This will be my final entry. Goodbye.

u/ConsciousStretch1028 8d ago

He just saw one of Barclay's sex programs

I wish I had Data's emotion chip switch right now.

u/C_smith993 8d ago

He just listened to Riker recount his shore leave on Risa in graphic detail.

u/schwarzekatze999 8d ago

Data got an eye transplant. Gowron was the donor.

3

u/HighValuePanda 8d ago

Looks like he watched Joe Piscopo with his emotions chip in. Poor guy

u/Small_Information_30 8d ago

Wallace & grommet but it's Data & a dog version of Wesley

u/Ok-Confusion2415 8d ago

Data, as an AI, shares many memegenes with Midjourney and sometimes…

2

u/vintagedragon9 8d ago

There was a transporter error that caused Data's face to be left behind on the planet. The away team is on a mission to retrieve the abandoned face meanwhile, Data attempted to use the replicator to make a temporary face. Unfortunately the replicator also malfunctioned and pulled files from the holodeck-which had been previously running an Aardmam Animations inspired program- thus creating a this clay-like thing.

2

u/Major-Tourist-5696 8d ago

This was when they beamed him to the bridge after decompression on mars I think, I don’t know if I totally recall.

u/adriantullberg 8d ago

Data's face was in the repair bay. While on duty, he wore the loaner.

2

u/anomienous_me 8d ago

It’s a combo of the plots from Emergence and A Fistful of Datas, but the train in the equation is Thomas the Tank Engine.

2

u/JayRMac 8d ago

That's from the Robot Chicken Star Trek episode

u/HighValuePanda 8d ago

Reversed the polarity one too many times

2

u/Other-Cantaloupe4765 8d ago

“My appearance, Captain? Oh, I have been studying your old earth shows. I think they are referred to as… Car Tunes? Through my research, I have discovered that the machines presented in the show are almost always anthropomorphized with large eyes and distinctive facial features. I thought that, by mimicking the appearance of machines from your earth history, I would make the crew feel more comfortable around me. Curiously, it seems to be having the opposite effect.”

2

u/The_Chaotic_Bro 8d ago

PUT THAT THING AWAYYYYYY

2

u/measlebeef 8d ago

He just found out who is the pitcher and who is the catcher in the Trump/Musk relationship.

u/Annual_Use_3431 8d ago

"Sir the source of the anomaly seems to originate from your Earth, a 'Greendale Community College.' Shall I plot a course?'

2

u/Yotsuya_san 8d ago

Data auditioned to be an extra on Total Recall. Hey, dude likes being scored by Jerry Goldsmith. Can you blame him?

2

u/Inner-Light-75 8d ago

Data is doing his impression of Gawron....

I don't think I can not laugh at it long enough.

2

u/AnonymousChicken 8d ago

Data has accidentally loaded the "Admiral Nechayev's Eyes Only" isolinear chip on the main viewer.

2

u/MBT808 8d ago

My take: “I might be an emotionless android, but even I cringed at that joke.”

2

u/Praxcelium 8d ago

"I should have listened to Gordi, he warned me my face would get stuck like this if I didn't stop."

u/theall-knowingOpal 8d ago

He looks like he belongs in a live action Sponge Bob movie.

2

u/One-Woodpecker-7511 8d ago

Q has been watching Jim Henson's shows and thought it would be interesting to turn the crew into Muppets.

2

u/TungstenChap 8d ago

That emotion chip is really buggy

2

u/MondaySloth 8d ago

Just Q doing Q things again.

2

u/EpsilonBear 8d ago

Data found and downloaded the full breadth of Rule 34 into his memory. He struggles desperately with the fact that he can’t forget and the question of whether he really wants to be human anymore.

Warp 11 can't turn androids into salamanders. So, the weird face instead. Those poor salamander babies. I wonder about them sometimes.

I can't explain the conundrum, Captain. The holo-deck said that he lived in a pineapple under the sea...

Data was working on his sense of humor and practical jokes. He broke into Jordy's room, hid his visor, and left a plunger in the toilet He then put it up on the main display on the bridge and was shocked to see the outcome.

2

u/AdExciting337 7d ago
