Star Trek is a popular science fiction franchise that sprung from a T.V. series originally aired in 1966. Fans of the franchise are often labled as dorks or "Trekkies", and Strong Bad occasionally makes light of this stereotype. In spite of this, some characters in the Homestar Runner universe, sometimes even Strong Bad, seem to be fans of the series.
Appearances
- Puppet Jam: Tropical Lazor Beams — Homestar Runner sings "I put my lazors on stun", similar to the oft-repeated "keep your phaser set on stun" in Star Trek.
- Hairstyle Runner — One of the galleries is called "spock can talk to whales", a reference to The Voyage Home in which the crew of the Enterprise travels back in time to save the supposedly sentient humpback whales.
- Email dreamail — Strong Bad says "on screen", a common order given by various characters in the series. He also addresses the email, which he is writing at the end, to Leonard Nimoy, who is best known for his role as Spock, one of the most easily recognizable characters from the franchise.
- Email best thing — The first (and only) episode of Limozeen: "but they're in space!" is titled "ENCOUNTER AT GROUPULON 5" a possible reference to Encounter at Farpoint, the first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
- Email space program — Strong Bad types a "Captainface Log", and recites it in a similar manner to the Captain's Logs ubiquitous to Star Trek.
- Teen Girl Squad Issue 11 — Science Fiction Greg's costume closely resembles a typical Starfleet uniform.
- Email fan club — During Strong Bad's fan fiction, he has Strong Sad say "And that's why I like all them Star Tracks!"
- Email buried — Strong Bad's line, "[that's] why all beings look the same except for slight differences of our foreheads!"' refers to the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode The Chase, in which the Enterprise crew, along with several warring alien species, discover a message from an ancient race claiming to have seeded the galaxy with DNA hoping it would evolve into other races that look like them, including humans, Klingons and Romulans. This episode has been widely criticized by fans.
- Make a Scene with Telltale: Strong Bad Edition — Strong Bad refers to Wil Wheaton as Ensign Crusher, his character from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
- Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective — Strong Bad mentions "trekking the stars".
Other Appearances
- The Nebulon sound is taken from an unofficial Star Trek computer game.
- Bozar is probably inspired by Q.
