In the D.S.9 Episode "Who Mourns for Morn", when Morn is thought to be dead, a human comes in and tries to sit in his chair at Quark's bar. He was Mark Shepard, the actor who played Morn, out of makeup.

You forgot Kira saying to Bashir "You did this" in reference to her being the reason she was pregnant both in storyline and reality.

"Hoshi" means star and "Sato" means journey. So the comm officer of the NX-01 is literally named "Star Trek".

Maybe I'm the only one that got this one.... Scotty says to Kirk that reading klingon is hard... its funny since James Doohan is the one who created the language.

My all-time favorite self-referential joke was Picard, after imprisoning Moriarty in a simulation, poses the question that maybe "We are just a simulation running in a box of someone's shelf".

I liked the 'Self-sealing Stimbolts' running gag on DS9.

Whenever they mention the family tree that has the names of the actors who played the Doctor on it, they ALWAYS skip over the fact that it also contains the names of characters from M.A.S.H. In one column you have the names of the TNG cast (Jonathan Frakes Raymond, Brent Spiner Raymond, etc.) and in the very next column, listed as their descendants, you have Charles E. Winchester, Sherman T. Potter, Frances J. Mulcahy, Margaret Hoolihan, and Walter O'Reilly.

When you mentioned the LCARS schematic of the Enterprise D having a duck among other things in it, I was reminded those were not the only displays with hidden jokes in them. In the med bay the diagnostic beds had a bar reading "Insurance remaining" and the port to the maintenance tubes was labeled "You must be this tall to ride this ride."

The best joke is that the only captain who is not American is a Frenchman, played by the most "British" Brit you could imagine! As a Brit myself, I find this hilarious!

Oh, and don't forget the scene in Airplane 2 when William Shatner, as a moonbase commander,looks through the telescope and sees the Enterprise coming towards him. He then stops and blinks in disbelief.

When I visited the Smithsonian in September I mayyyyyyyy have spent more time geeking out over the Enterprise model than the Wright flyer. Maybe. 😊😊

I think you guys forgot also the one from DS9 Trouble and Tribble-ations. Where in one scene the cast sees "Capitan Kirk" come to the atrium and they say "It's that Kirk?" very skeptical. The in-joke here it's that in that scene, it's not actually actor William Shatner, but a double. and so in fact that is NOT Kirk. Good eyes Doctor Bashir.

Back in 94 I won a Star Trek trivia contest from a local TV station. I got 2 tour packages one for Paramount studios Star trek sets and one for JPL. One thing you did not mention is a decal on the rear arch console that read " 50,000 KPH it's not just a good idea it's the law " I wondered if it was put on there after the episode with the warp 5 speed limit. It still makes me chuckle. that was a good summer.

I always thought it was hilarious that Captain Picard was involved with a woman named Vash when Vache is French for Cow.

In jokes? You mean like having Christopher Lloyd, who played a scientist who made a time machine AND play a klingon captain in star trek... who's ship was then used to time travel!!

I hear Morn talk all the time...man the stories he told. Amazing.

My favorite in-joke from Picard has to be Vasquez Rocks finally appearing as itself. It was used in the production of at least ten episodes, including the one with the Gorn.

How is Kira blaming Bashir for her carrying Keikos baby not in this? Irl Nana Vistor was pregnant and Alexander Siddig was the father.

You missed the joke that spanned three decades: FIZBIN. It is first mentioned by Kirk in the original series and then shows up in TNG, and finally comes to the punchline in DS9 where we discover it's an actual game and not simply something James T made up!

One missed in-joke; the labels everywhere, on doors, on access panels, on backs of PADDs, they always contained something that we're never meant to see, whether jokes, shakesperian quotes, or something as daft as "Here be dragons!", even right down to DS9 where a restricted area Rom tried to access when the Dominion were disabling the minefield was labelled as "A-51", those labels were quite hilarious to read when you got to see them when unused ones were auctioned off... :D

In a certain TNG episode, a scientist claiming to be from the future (but was actually from the past) asks what did they not have in the 22nd century. Worf crys out "There were no phasers in the 22nd Century". In the Pilot episode of Enterprise, which is set in the 22nd Century, Malcom brings in a box, "Ah our new weapons" replys Archer. "They have two settings, stun and kill - it would be best not to confuse them." IT WOULD BE BEST NOT TO CONFUSE THEM!!!!!

I seem to recall Jeffries was even name checked in an episode of “Enterprise”, possibly by Trip. I have a feeling it was when Trip was upgrading Archer’s Captain’s Chair in Season 4. Also, another in-joke has to be Picard giving Jurati a book because he’s “not a fan of science fiction”.

When Morn faked his death, and they held a memorial for him, Jadzia revealed that she asked him out on a date. But, he turned her down.

How is "I am a Doctor, not a..." its the most common joke even

The ST:E retro-con of the appearance of TOS Klingons was, in my opinion, genius.

I keep thinking Morn is a one way telepath outside his species. If he looks at you, you just "hear him".

"I'm a doctor, not a doorstop." - Enterprise-E EMH

I believe Dr McCou was given the name Leonard McCoy when Roddenberry decided to name him after Leonard Nimoy, the in joke being that Spock and Doctor McCoy were always bickering so to give them something in common. Another in joke was from the third series. I can't remember the title of the episode but it was the one with the space hippies who want to go to Eden so tàke over the ship. The hippies, for want of a better expression, use the term 'Herbert' as an insult for anyone they consider to be a square.. Apparently it was inspired by Herbert Solow, who had been a production executive on the first two seasons. Apparently some of the team hadn't got on with him and the writers stuck the term in as a sly dig at him.

one of the in-jokes that made an appearance in TNG, DS9, and Voyager is that humans get completely wasted when they drink a blue liquid at the bar. Despite Romulan Ale being illeagle in Star Fleet facilities.

Okay, I gotta say, back when the Naked Now first aired... the image of Roddenberry as the bird - I spotted that but it flashed on the screen so fast that I thought for sure it was the digital parrot from Max Headroom. I've always thought that was it was until now. Wow.

Best: ST:TOS had a character named William Henry Harrison, who died before the opening credits.

One of my favorite possible "in jokes" or what could be background lore, is in DS9. Vilix'pran is never shown on screen but he is mentioned multiple times, usually when he is pregnant. I don't know if he counts as an in joke, but he sticks in my memory.

You missed the best one, Picard's line from Ship In A Bottle: "All this might just be an elaborate simulation, running inside a little device sitting on someone’s table," followed by the last line of the episode: "Computer, end program."

I loved the "Riker Maneuver" reference by Jack Quaid. The Ready Room episode was classic when he talked about this.

I like where Cdr. T'Pol tells Dr. Phlox how much Inaprovolene to give her and he responds to calling her "Dr. T'Pol. Later on the Seleya, Cpt. Archer asks if she can help her former Vulcan colleague Solin-who's gone Zombie-if she can help him. She simply tells him, "I'm not a doctor."

when a actor from MASH was on they had a reading of 4077 on a display

8:55 Arguably, Lower Decks already cannonised the Rubber Ducky room in the season 2 finale

Not sure if this actually appears on the episode, but I have a collectible card game card, featuring the season 6 episode, 'Rascals'. It shows the child versions of Picard, Ro Laren, Keiko O'Brien, and Guinan in a conduit on the Enterprise D. An Okudagram sign by a hatch way says "You Have To Be This Tall To Take The Ride."

I honestly thought Star Trek's "47" was a play on Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy's "42".

Or the comment by O'Brien, "Are we ever" when asked to be beamed away, when Bashir comments that they might be stuck in a paradox, from Tribble's and Tribulations. Of which of course the entire episode is one long in-joke...

The Menagerie is Star Trek, where they sit down and watch Star Trek

47 is also repeatedly dropped in Alias (and possibly other JJ Abrams products). It pops up in smaller amounts in other genre pieces.

If you haven't read "The Flying Sorcerers" by Larry Niven and David Gerrold (both wrote for Star Trek), you simply must. There are in-jokes and Trek references everywhere. For example (not spoilers), the God of Sheep is "Rotn'bair", whose symbol is a box with two lines in a "V" shape on top (the Horned Box), and the God of Thunder and Lightning, "Elcin", is said to be tiny, but extremely powerful and quick to anger. Oh, and all of the names of gods and many characters are the domain of Tukker, God of Names.

The Okudas may have been inspired to put actors from other SF shows in the Okudagrams by the anime Dirty Pair. In the first episode, aired in 1985, a list of names is briefly visible that includes W. Shatner and L. Nimoy, and a model of the TOS Enterprise can be seen in the main characters' apartment. We know one or both of the Okudas were Dirty Pair fans because the Okudagrams are loaded with references to the main characters, Kei and Yuri.

Seven of Nines name comes from a 60's TV show called "My Living Doll" starring Julie Newmar. In it, a scientist creates a robotic woman coded named the AF 7-0-9 ( the AF standing for 'Amazonian Female' )

In the books, Mourn is described as a 'talkative character'. In one episode, when Mourn is supposed to have taken over Quark's bar in the future, he was also described as still talking people's ear off. Yet, none of the episodes ever showed him talking.

An episode guide book pointed out, the engineering section okudagram indicates that the Enterprise is powered by a hamster on a wheel.

In the episode in which David Ogden Stiers plays the scientist trying to rejuvinate a star, the display he is monitoring says "Composite Sensor Analysis 4077", the 4077 being a reference to MASH, where Stiers played Dr Winchester.

Having had to map existing network infrastructure in buildings where things have changed over the years, the gag label of GNDN is one I actually use, because sometimes there are network ports on walls with no cable running to them, or a cable that mysteriously ends halfway across the plenum, or dead/disconnected ports on server room patch panels... GNDN is an apt description in many of these cases.

I loved the magazine cover where Rodenberry is listed as the author of questor. The questor tapes was a show. He tried to sell after Star Trek. I always liked the pilot.

Love that there was an unseen Buffy reference in one of the best eps, and that yall used a clip from the episode where the adults become their teen selves again, loved Quark's nerd persona there

You missed all the references to Buckaroo Banzai, Yoyodyne, and the use of the Oscilation Overthruster as a prop throughout multiple series and movies. But still a good list. Just consider this an Honorable Mention.

No mention of Ransom gushing over how hot Una is at the end of Those old scientists?

How did you miss the Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems ref they used in TNG and DS9? This being a ref to the fictitious company in Buckaroo Bansai run by the dictator John Warfin from Planet 9. :P

#4 is also in the Blueprints of the Enterprise hand book, you also forgot the FUREST LEFT Bar on the Bio-Bed is the : Remaining Health Insurance of Patient.

They should seriously make an actual Poc & Dar Cop Landlords as a spin-off....or at least a live action movie. I'd watch it. I mean like, the movie Machete came out of a parody movie ad/trailer in another movie, but they made it into a real franchise.

This made me laugh 47 times.

Left one out! Gerry Anderson had a show that pre-dated "Star Trek" called "Fireball XL5". On the glass matte painting of the impulse drive in the engineering section. In the top-left corner are a series of pipes, each numbered with presumably part or reference numbers, one of which includes "XL5"

Boimler making fun of Riker, reminds me of how all of us, must have had a school teacher and/or college tutor who got made fun of with an impersonation, by the class joker(s), or even a work colleague or colleagues, who did an impersonation of a boss, behind their back. 😁❤️

With Reference to 47. You should mention season 4 episode 7 of Deep Space Nine. this was the roswell episode where "Quark and Rom take Nog to Earth and Starfleet Academy, but a malfunction with the ship takes the crew back in time, to Roswell, New Mexico in 1947." Thank you (IMDB) Also listen to the overhead announcements in the the StarTrek Online MMO game on earth space dock they referance Club 47 on the shace station.(everyone forgets the game) Sometimes new ships appear there first.

Don't forget the running line of Cmdr Riker... What the hell?!

I love this channel! @trekculture, I was watching Discovery and kept seeing the Lower Decks and Jett Reno connections. She eats black licorice and even had to fix a replicator that's was spitting out hot bananas in S4 🤣

The one I like the most is on TOS in sickbay the monitor on the far right (the one that always tanks first when the patient dies) is "Amount of Health Insurance Remaining" It seems fitting for today unfortunately.

Ransom's comment about Una being "the hottest babe in Starfleet" in the SNW episode "Those Old Scientists" is quite possibly the most in in-joke ever; Jerry O'Connell is married to Rebecca Romijn.

I work for a financial institution & I recommended a member set up a codeword (verbal password to be asked during phone calls). I told him that I tend to use a combination of word & number. He came up with a short phrase which he then told me was a Star Trek reference & then added the 47. I said something about 47 being another Star Trek reference & caught him off guard. He responded to that with "Did you just..,.?" and he couldn't even formulate the rest of the question.

LOL, at first I thought you said, "Barbie on the stars"!

"You'd do anything to beat me at darts." "I haven't lost a game to you in months!" The irony here is that Bashir hasn't ever lost a game, due to his Genetic enhancements - a nod to Khan and his followers.

What about R2D2 in both the 2009 Star Trek and Into Darkness. In the first film, R2D2 is floating around in the debris field above Vulcan, while in into Darkness, R2D2 gets vented from the Enterprise when they are attacked by Robocop - Dead or Alive, your coming with me!

For the 47 part you forgot about Captain Jean-Luc Picard's authorization code 4 7 Alpha Tango.

I think the bar in Starfleet Academy in Star Trek Online is also called Club 47

You are always so much fun! Thank you, that last ad was awesome and funny.

How about all the injokes on DS9's promenade directory? Such as Spacely Sprockets (The Jetsons) Milliway's (The Restaurant at the End of the Universe), Del Floria's (The Man From UNCLE), Tom Servo and more? 😅

I've been told that the plaque in the Captain's room on STNG's Enterprise is captioned "a three-hour tour, a three-hour tour". Might be apocryphal.

Had a thought, when you mentioned Cmdr Ransom, would be nice to connect Lower Decks to Voyager another way, doubt they will though. What if Captain Ransom of the USS Equinox was the uncle to Cmdr Ransom on Lower Decks, was just a passing thought while watching and thought I would share.

Really great video!thank you. i always wonder whats hidden in shows but i never seem to catch 99% of them.

I love Captain Freeman's line about how she and her crew don't just get emotional for no reason... ;)

7:47 MIND BLOWN THANK YOU I DID NOT KNOW NICE TO HEAR THIS STYLE OF VIDEO THANKS

I love when the Voyager crew was in 20th century LA, and nobody recognized them. Even Sarah Silverman only got as close as calling Tuvak a freakazoid.

Nice ! Didn´t know most of them.

Holy shit! The actor who played Morn came into my office when I was a young lawyer to talk to me about suing DS9 over his non-speaking character who was supposed to speak a lot and brought the same evidence!

Well, that was genuinely more interesting than I expected :) And I shall look closely at all the set-dressing from now on.

It’s Fascinating when these things talk about Trek after Voyager- like such a thing exists 😂

So, since you lovely folks are so fond of linking in Star Trek Online bits, I have another one to add to the 47 list. The club on Earth Space Dock is called Club 47. Boom.

This was awesome dude!

47 is featured in Alias (Jennifer Garner). JJ Abrams director of Alias also directed the Chris Pine Star Trek movies.

I thought Worf's answer for Klingon ridges was all we needed.

Excellent! A lot of fun stuff here! Thanks for sharing!

there's another one you should have nodded to in the "jeffries tube" segment. the engineering dude from trials and tribulations clip you used that was checking the GNDN was using a Feinburger prop.

Great list. I wasn't aware of many of these.

Surely the single greatest in-joke in Trek history is Lower Decks. Simply...Lower Decks. The entire series is one massive string of in-jokes.

Under Okudagrams, you missed my favorite, "Medical Insurance Remaining" in the background sickbay display.

I believe Sulu's line was, may the Great Bird of the Galaxy *roost on* your planet."

"47 is 42 corrected for inflation" is an even better joke then the real reason :D

Let's not forget that Morn was always found at Quark's Bar...and "Morn" is an anagram of "Norm", George Wendt's character on CHEERS, who was a fixture at that bar.

In the german version of DS9 there is one episode where Morn has one short line. Why he got a voice over... I don't know. It was something like "ok, then not" (in german of course ;)).

Why does everything happen to be located at heading 310 mark 215?

No. 4 you missed one, on the master systems display monitor there's a hamster in an exercise wheel located in the engineering section and is rumored to be the true energy source behind the warp drive, as described in TNG tech manual.

I'm not sure if it is considered an inside joke, but that cosmic Koala comes up a lot in lower decks.

When the Borg Queen says "Watch your future's end" in First Contact, she mean the Borg are about to destroy the phoenix, changing the course of human history forever but also the viewers should watch the Voyager two parter "Future's End" which was first aired the same weekend as First Contact released in cinemas.

Let's not forget the time someone on Enterprise mentioned catching Conan O'Brien on television.
