Strongest shoulders in starfleet

In the battle between "Miles always abused" vs "Worf getting his ass kicked", the results would be that Miles knocks Worf down but Miles severely injuries his shoulder while doing so.

The only way Bashir knew Miles wasn't really himself in that one episode, was because he didn't have a shoulder injury haha

If you notice, almost every phaser shot and physical strike he takes are to the shoulders. No wonder they are so wonky.

O'BRIEN. MUST. SUFFER.

MILES INDESTRUCTIBLE O'BRIEN

They can fix Geordi's eye's, Picard's heart, Westley's involvement in the show, but they can't fix that damn shoulder

He’s pretty damn lucky his best friend is a doctor - must come in handy with how frequently he gets hurt

O’Brien is the human embodiment of the “Doctor I’ve dislocated my shoulder in 3 places” “Then stop going to these places” Joke, just keeps happening

The worst was easily when he was forced to live a life sentence in the holographic jail. Or the time he caught that disease and almost died.

everyone else: i have plot armour, Obrian "I started as a background character, got burned shot and tortured to the point I became a main character. I'm too tough to die"

1:15 it really cracks me up how fed up Odo is with the dislocated shoulder, he just rolls his eyes and walks out lmao

Phaser on maximum and he didn't vaporize? The man really is indestructible!

Miles “MY SHOULDER” O’Brien

Really puts into perspective how much the poor Chief suffered...and it’s just so satisfying to find out in Lower Decks that in the far future, he will be considered the most imporant person ever in Starfleet history.

"process him" _doctors proceed to dissect and biopsy his shoulder_

The bit where the klingon boots him right in the shoulder he was just shot in always cracks me up

Kid: "I wanna go to space one day!" O'Brien holding his shoulder: "Trust me...you really don't..."

Whenever a Jem Hadar sees Miles O'brien they think "Yep, I'll be having him."

The pants should have been the last thing.

After all that you'd expect that an old man like the chief would be able to get a medical discharge and retire, but Starfleet are real slave drivers.

Only on Star Trek is "a mild case of radiation poisoning" good news. An also, wtf its the future and hey still can't fix a bad shoulder?

"GÆæh mæ ŠhŒūŁdēr" - Miles Edward O'Brien

There’s literally a Facebook page called “the same photo of Chief O’Brien every single day.”

2:00 Goddamn, even the medicine cabinet shot him.

LOL - I never really realized how beat up the poor guy got.

Get this man a few years sick leave, Starfleet.

O’Brien inherited the red-shirt fate of misfortune when he wore red, but because he switched to yellow he was given the gift of being spared the red-shirt demise. I will say that “gift” is more of a curse on his shoulders (no pun intended).

Directive from studio executives o'brian must suffer

O'Brien actually time traveled, died, and (sort of) resurrected. Also, he might be the best actor in all of Star Trek, second only to Patrick Stewart.

I laughed when Odo just said in a bored tone, "Oh, let me guess. You dislocated your shoulder."

Star Trek writers be like: What level of torture should we give O'Brien today.

He has more arm injuries than Vegeta.

Jean-Luc Picard: the "perfect" human; "Bones" McCoy: the "normal" human; Miles O'Brien: the "average" human.

I've often thought O'Brien wore his sleeves so short on DS9 was because he was often fixing things that went broke. After all, at the series first season, it seemed he only had three kinds of systems to worry about - those that were broken, others that were working so-so, and those which were going to fail disastrously at any moment.

It wasn't until my recent re-watching of TOS, TNG and DS9 that I appreciated the heroic service record of Miles O'Brien. A true Federation hero. Colm Meaney's portrayal was the most 'real' human in ST. Honorable mention to Paris and Kim.

Of course he is tough, he is irish!

2:18 OMG, and they say Discovery is dark!?

O'Brien: sorry for being O'Brien DS9 writers: some crimes can never be forgotten

I'm a hardcore trek fan. Growing up, we watch and rewatch these videos thinking we learn all the facts and the truths..until one day when we awake to a video compilation of o'Brien's shoulder. At first glance, it seems like it could be another star trek compilation of clips we've seen a million times. But no, this one stands out! This one is fucking hilarious. The real Easter egg that is miles obrien. It helps to watch this video while baked

It's just a flesh wound.

I always remember him saying, "Bollocks, I've ripped me trousers!"

Damn... This video is just 8 minutes long, but it felt like 20 years.

"I can't believe it... I tore my pants" next shot: *contemplates ending it*

More like "O'Brian's shoulder abused again and again."

I would like to say that you didn't notice it when you watched the series, but it happened enough that you did.

I thought in Star Trek that they could heal people really effectively, how does he keep disclocating the same shoulder?! Haha

Rolled over and cornholed by Cardasians lol.

The kayaking outfit he has is so 90s that it hurts.

Perhaps the reason why O'Brien and Bashir have such a good friendship is because the chief always needs to go get fixed up by the doctor every episode!!

Think about how much hypospray they used on just him lol

8:03 the pants were the last straw

O'brien is basically a one man army of red shirts.

"Computer replicate a 1990s swimsuit" "Beep-Boop, radness level at 97.31%"

If anything it shows he doesn't fear pain, death, or humiliation. He's a bad ass. No matter what happens, he's ready the next day.

Jaysus, I forgot about when the Cardassians put him on trial and ripped his gdamn tooth out

Miles O'Shoulders

They say you can calibrate a warp core to the O'Brien Suffering Constant. You measure it in JAYSUSes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe O'Brien participated in every bar room brawl featured in TOS (canonically), TNG, and DS9. Not every fight in a bar, but everytime the entire bar erupted in a brawl.

I always associate O’Brien with ds9 and realizing he’s been around since tng was mind blowing lol

"Hanging a plant for Keiko" is the 24th century version of "I fell down the stairs." I like Keiko is a spouse abuser.

"Aw feck not me shoulder again!"

Nice compilation, o'brien always was one of my favorite charakters in Star Trek.

When that Klingon kicked his shoulder...LOL

Never realize how much he's been through.

I feel his pain I have dislocated my shoulder nine times at this point .

4:03 “Oh no Keiko, my favourite character. So much would be lost if she died.”

*oh let me guess u dislocated it shoulder again*

Poor O'Brien. 🥺 Most relatable character from Star Trek and he had to endure so much. Atleast he gets a statue later, as mentioned in "Lower Decks".

He tries to shoot himself in one episode

"O'Brien Must Suffer"

O'brien carries the entire Federation on his shoulders

He deserves better. Single handed he saved the Federation by making the Defiant work properly.

And Riker thought he had it rough. I NEVER NOTICED THE SHOULDER THING... I guess it did take a lot of punishment over the years, from Klingons stomping on it to coffee being spilt on it.

Such an irony. Miles O'Brien, a badass war hero who twists his shoulder playing darts.

Federation medicine is woefully inadequate as far as shoulder injuries are concerned.

This man is a legend lmao took hits like a champ

Its funny, I remember the psychological abuse he took more than the physical abuse. The episode where he served a 30-year jail sentence in his mind, the episode where he had to face a version his daughter who grew up in the wilderness without him around...and the episode where Admiral Ross chose O'brien--of all people, Miles O'brien--to be a secret agent who had to send his contact to his death....

4:06 Y'know, for not being the stereotypical hot guy, O'Brien does alright in the lady department. The cardassian lady hits on him, Kira almost falls for him, and he's married. Something about a guy who builds stuff is just super hot.

I'm convinced O'Brien always would get back at his abusers by making the transporter conveniently "break" at the worst possible times.

The Chief tearing his pants is the most egregious abuse suffered. Being married to Keiko is a close second.

Obrien looked like he was 36 since the age of 16 and he kept looking 36 until he hit his 70's.

His shoulder is like the running gag when people get stuff in Lenny’s eye

The Chief suffered, but he didn't die much. I remember the era where Harry Kim, Daniel Jackson, Jack O'Neil, and John Chriton were having an episode by episode contest to see who could die the most. Sarcophagus heavy episodes and Groundhog Day episodes made the competition really swingy.

All that technology and they still can't fix a damn labral tear.

O’Brien, beaming the away team, dislocating his shoulder and fixing crap.

Nonsense! He's just always in the thick of it! Down and gritty!

1:28 love the obvious stunt double for what looks like a very minor stunt, lol

Without a doubt one of the funniest videos I've ever seen

DS9 often did a great job with continuity from TNG.. here, you see that Obrien injured his shoulder kayaking in the holodeck in TNG, and then later, Bashir on DS9 warns him to stop kayaking before his shoulder heals... and then there are entire "Obrien must suffer" episodes on DS9.

man, O'brien has taken more hits to the shoulder than Vegeta to the balls.

6:16 You know it's serious because it exploded twice!

Miles "DC-10" O'Brian, guaranteed to go down but not without a fight.

Miles "Endurance" O´Brien Even Thanos would have left only a scratch ..

This is why I like the idea of "Star Trek: The Lower Decks". We get to look at the enlisted personnel like the Voyager episode. I always wondered what they did not include their lives, but O'Brien must suffer. 😎

1 min into this your like okay this was is a nice little funny O’Brien getting hurt video compilation then you realize there’s seven minutes left

After all this abuse, this is the one Star Trek character that I'm the most relived got a happy ending.

Some people have bad shoulders from carrying a franchise.....then their is the Chief, whose franchise targets his shoulder whenever they can until it becomes a meme

O'Brien's shoulder is the punching bag of the series.

Even in simulations, parallel universes, and alternate timelines, O'Brien must suffer.
