Remotely funny, to the very lower common denominator. Paramount still insults the very fanbase that they've milked for every $ they've sucked out of us since 1966. Too bad they couldn't have taked the classy or intelligent road. I'm surprised they didn't film a geek in spock ears in his parents basement talking to his blow up date.

It makes no sense to me that mindless action flicks are "cool," while thought-provoking stories that examine moral issues, while at the same time entertaining people, are "not cool." And yet if we prefer the latter we are "not cool." Really the only option is to disregard the popular sensibilities and judgments. It's not that it's hard, but it is sometimes frustrating- a bit like swimming against the current. Ah well. As Spock said "Superior ability breeds superior ambition."

We never have been laid, and instead of putting away for our retirement, we have thousands of dollars of Trek stuff littering every corner. We check the trek sites hourly for anything new we can read, or buy and daily pay homage to the Paramount alter that is capitalism! That commercial was embarrassing and just plainTribble turds. It was worth all of the 29.99 it cost to produce. Yes, after 44 years, Trekies are STILL living in their parents basements waiting for them to die to own it.

Would have been funnier if the cast from "The Big Bang Theory" had done it. At least it was only 15 seconds.

Where are they running this horrible thing? How incredibly sexist ... they couldn't put one single woman in this video? Gotta tell you, if I were not already sold on this franchise, this commercial would convince me to run the other direction fast. After so many marketing hits, why this pathetic effort? I get that this is supposed to be funny, but these collection guys don't paint a pretty picture for the public perception of the fanbase. Sorry Paramount, this is a huge miss. Oh God!

I think it got the attention of a crowd that might have glossed over seeing a standard Trek commercial. I saw the spot over the weekend and thought it was a total WIN.
