Never in my life has anyone been this interested in my health, hobbies, and habits. What a considerate man.

I like to imagine all the Star Trek cast and crew avoiding Jonathan Frakes because this is what he actually does when the cameras stop rolling.

Play this at half speed. It's like a drunk guy asking you questions at a bar😂

"Do you believe in the power of a curse?" My favorite pick up line. Thank you Jonathan.

Jonathan Frakes attempts to figure out your password's security questions.

Dads meeting the boyfriend for the first time:

I feel like the premise of each episode is created by getting Frakes to ask a random question, then they build the whole show around it. "Have you ever met a large Albanian woman with only one nostril who attempted to steal your lucky snorkel?"

I just noticed the muffled audio on "have you had your hearing tested lately." Nice touch.

Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

I feel like I just went on a speed date with Frakes.

Whenever I see this, I always think back to the movie "Airplane!" when the captain is asking that kid all those weird, random questions like "ever been in a cockpit before?" "ever seen a grown man naked?" "do you ever hang around the gymnasium?" 'do you like movies about gladiators?"

"Have you ever visited a truck stop?" I've spent enough time on the internet to know where this is going...

So this is how Riker interviews potential officers onboard the Enterprise

When you ever run out of questions for your date.

"Can you remember the tallest man you've ever seen?" Yes, his name was Jonathan Frakes

Yes, Jonathan. All of those things. Thank you so much for asking.

Love how Frakes can ask both "Do you believe in the power of a curse?" and "Do you love to go a-wanderin' beneath a clear blue sky?" in the exact same tone

I love how each question gets increasingly chaotic and obscure.

Whenever I need a pick me up or a little chuckle, this never fails to deliver.

Loved this show as a kid, and still watch it today. It's called Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction for those wondering. Though now I'm a huge Trekkie, this was actually my introduction to Frakes.

Have you accepted Jonathan Frakes memes as modern art?

If you play this at half speed it sounds like a drunk man rambling at you

One of my favourite things is to watch this on half speed, because it creates the impression that Frakes is not remotely sober, stumbling from the bushes, accosting you with all these questions.

I come back and watch this every now and then, and still cry with laughter each and every time. I’m still thinking if I can remember the tallest man I’ve ever seen..

Some people seem to think that this is actually a compilation, but this is just how the first episode begins.

Jonathan is either planning to break into my house when I’m on vacation or steal my identity.

He sounds like he's starting the ad-break on his podcast.

I love how it goes from the most profound thought provoking questions to benign ramblings you might hear in an elderly home.

When you're trying to keep the conversation from dying.

"Planning a trip soon?" sounds vaguely like a threat

This guy is a legend. I've always loved this guy.

My brain right as I'm about to fall asleep:

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

"Have you ever been in a cockpit before?" "Have you ever seen a grown man naked?" "Do you like to watch movies about gladiators?"

This was me when I first found out that the best way to make friends was to ask lots of questions and show interest in someone

0:09 Frakes tries to find out if you're getting enough fiber.

I feel like Commander Riker is trying to get me to confess something with expert level deflection.

No matter if I go to heaven or hell I hope my endless afterlife is just this man asking me random questions whilst holding, gesturing, or being surrounded by random objects in a dark void.

My bucket list is drawn entirely from Jonathan Frakes questions.

This makes me feel like Commander Riker is genuinely interested in hearing about my life and it's incredibly validating.

“Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire?”

"Do you remember the tallest man you've ever seen?" Yeah it's you, Jonathan Frakes.

Sweet edit. Bloody love Frakes!

Jonathan Frakes's uncanny imitation of my kids today while I'm trying to work from home

Okay but who decided to wake up and suddenly turn this man into a meme ?

Whoa whoa Johnathan, slow down, I can only handle so many universal mysteries at once.

This gives me "Star Trek out of context" video vibes and im here for it! 😅

Someone: How do I talk to girls? Me: watch this

"Have you ever been confronted by William Riker in civilian clothes asking you odd questions?"

When life gets us down... there he is. Jonathan Frakes!

This is literally my brain before i go to sleep. 😂

"Have you ever been in a cockpit before?" "Have you ever seen a grown man naked?" "Do you like movies about gladiators?" "Have you ever been to a Turkish prison?"

My new bucket list is being able to say yes to every single one of these questions.

- On occasion, though I'm pretty good about remembering where my car is. - No, hiking is enough exercise for me. - Currently, I'm trying to become an established writer and tutor. - That largely depends on the place and the person. For me, since I don't eat out often, I tip at least 20% - No, and hopefully I won't have to anytime soon. - Not very superstitious, I'm usually willing to believe things happen simply because of coincidences. - A million dollars, at least, though that's mainly because it would get cold, wet, and uncomfortable out there at night. - No, hunting trophies are too rustic as decorations for me to enjoy. - Yes, a dog and a cat. - I enjoy the occasional cookie or slice of cake, but tend to not like sweet foods, especially those with a lot of frosting or intense, sugary flavors. - No, like I said, I tend to assume it's just coincidence. - No, but my hearing seems fine. - I don't travel a lot, but I do want to visit someplace nice with lots of beaches in the summer of 2024. - Usually, I'm the tallest person around, at 6'4", but my brother is an inch taller than me. - I very much enjoy walking, it helps clear my head. - It seems like real-estate agents can make a lot of money through their work, but I don't know if that makes them "stars" or celebrities. - I could certainly afford to be more careful, but considering nothing bad has happened to me yet and I haven't had any of my personal information stolen, I figure I'm doing alright. - Occasionally, but I know enough about computers to be able to find the root problems, in most circumstances. - I have on two occasions, and I found the decorations to be very fascinating and the food delicious. - Yes, on several occasions. They can have some really cool stuff there for good prices! - Only when on long road trips, usually just to use the bathroom or grab a snack. - No, and I'm probably not cut out to be a waiter. Too high-stress. - Theme restaurants do seem to be pretty popular, but I don't visit them much, since the atmosphere can be a bit overwhelming. - I've thought about it, but I've never let the intrusive thoughts win.

My wife to me in the middle of the night when I'm trying to fall asleep:

When you go to a job interview and you think you're prepared for whatever the interviewer is going to ask you

Deanna: I bet he's thinking about other girls... Riker:

"Is the bridge smaller, or am I just taller?"

he's really perfect casting for narrator on this show

_Picard, chained to the only chair in the audience._ *"THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!"*

No one: Five-year-olds during funerals:

This is what it can be like hanging out with a person who has ADHD. We will ask you questions that seem totally random. Now, in our mind, there was a logical progression to that question. We just don't always remember that noone else knows how we arrived at that question.

Never knew how inquisitive Jonathan Frakes was. 😂

.5 speed has me wheezing

Have you ever heard someone this good at starting conversations?

"Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

Whenever i feel alone. I play this video so that i can feel like someone really cares about me.

Do you have a pet? Do you have a sweet tooth? Do you believe in the power of a curse? Well that escalated quickly

It's fake, it's fiction, nope, got you again

Beyond Belief was such an underrated show.

This was really funny thanks for putting it together really made me laugh 😂

"Do you remember the tallest man you've ever seen" always gets me for some reason

"Have you ever been assimilated by the Borg?" "Commander, please leave my sleeping quarters. Its 3am."

Why is this the funniest thing I've seen in a while? 🤣

Take a drink every time you did one of these. It’s lowkey hilarious

My Tinder date: Hi- Me:

Jonathan Frakes: "Ever gone mountain biking?" Also Jonathan Frakes: "It never happened. It's a total fabrication"

This is now my reference for future conversation starters

This is how I talk to random strangers. No greeting, no formality, just random, unrelated questions. Nothing else.

"Do you like movies with gladiators?" "Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?" "Ever hang around the gymnasium?" "When IS a good week to quit sniffing glue?"

"Have you ever visited a Chinatown section in a major city?" Love the way he says this, so random.

POV: a kid won’t stop asking you weird questions but the kid is actually Jason Frakes, a grown ass man

Play it at half speed and he sounds absolutely blasted

Jonathan Frakes saying “You’ve ever been mountain biking?” just exudes Barry B. Benson-type “You like jazz?” energy.

Watch at playback speed 0.5 and imagine him in an airport staggering around talking to people with a paper-bagged bottle in hand.

Jonathan Frakes Speed Date Edition

Why is this one of the best things ever?

When you're at a sleepover but you can't get to sleep

*Jonathan Frakes:* "Have you heard of the High Elves?" "Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?"

Me doing anything to keep the conversation alive on a failing date

He was a real one. No one ever asks about me and I'm married with 2 kids

Jonathan Frakes would make a good 10 year old

0:09 Have you called your plumber lately? *Porn music starts playing*

When you run out of subject in a date:

You can tell that he worked at the old country buffet.

"Have you ever visited a Chinatown section in a major city?" Is a leading question and I refuse to answer Mr Frakes

I just love that for every question he has a lil prop to go along with it. Like some PA had to actually set up some freshly mixed concrete just for his bit.

Have you ever watched loads of interviews with Jonathan Frakes because he's a great storyteller?

Always nice when a top celebrity is so interested in what's going on in a common man's life.

“Have you noticed what big stars real estate agents have become?” The world before the 2007 market crash had all the signs, and Johnathan was trying to warn us.
