LoL!
Funny!
My son just told me today that ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Star Wars’ need a crossover (cranking up the ‘Twilight Zone’ tune), and I said, NOT!
Nice job!
I loved it! Good job!
LOL!! Hilarious!
lens flares………freaking lens flares!
hahahaha, that was awesome!! :)
LOL!!!!! Awesome!!!!
I love these vids! They’re all really funny!!!
Great animation,effects,voice-overs.
Could´ve been perfect, as most animations from that site.
But it was ruined by the ending, we saw that joke before in youtube, when Picard returned to the past to prevent JJ Abrams for making the new movie destroying the timeline.
#9: (imitating C3PO) I shall call you Debbie Downer (wah wah!).
:-D
MC1 Doug, nah, your fault for missing the previous video. :P
Very funny!
I wish Kirk would have given the Lens flare order in the real movie.
They could have done this, minus the killing every redshirt that is, but aim the ship at the black hole, have them come through a bit shaken up, bridge smoking a little. Then pan out and we see the ship has transformed into the actuall Enterprise from the original show.
omg
the nitpicking of the spoof cartoon has already started
I am going to go bang my head against a wall
Anthony Pascale, spare your foreheard,
I just pointed out that is the same ending of another funny spoof
“PICARD vs Abrams”:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx0aP20wSpY
Relax.
Anthony, before you do so, please let me hand you a soft pilllow first.
LOL
(but I feel your pain)
LOL Tony. :D
I would have liked some kind of jab on what engineering looked like that Scotty was a plumber. LOL
Anthony,
Wasn’t nitpicking too much, most people seemed to like it. Don’t give up hope!
#15
doesn’t sound right.
Very lovely video though, both funny and creative, thanks for posting!
The actors providing voices for Chekov and Scotty have it down to a T.
I laughed my a** off when Scotty’s shirt changed from red to gold!
Well done well done well done!!!
Yeah this is not something to nitpick. I thought it was funny, especially the end, worth a good laugh.
Didn’t think it was funny, but the animation was cool.
#13 It could’ve been worse. At least this thread took til the ninth post to get the first nitpick. On the other hand, if you are going to bang your head against a wall, at least wear a helmet. I say this because its a good bet this is just the start of a nitpick fest. :-)
DAMN YOU NITPICKERS! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL! :-)

Love it when Picard tells Crusher to SHUT-UP!
I love Vader’s reaction, cause it’s sad but true.
Very well done.
Way to funny. Loved it.
That was frakkin hilarious. These guys are getting better.
I thought that was great- but didn’t like the ending one little bit! lol
That was fantastic!
Interesting…What if the Enterprise DID go through the Black Hole?
^It would have gotten VERY dark….. ;-)
Now, now! All of you nitpickers need to QUIET DOWN! Anthony’s right! You know that free thought only exists in the REAL world! As for the Trekmovie.com comments section, we are to say only nice things or nothing at all! Heh, that was a real good thing you did complaining about the nitpickers, Anthony! A REAL GOOD THING!
-awaits my inevitable transfer to the corn fields-
:-D
“Turn off the lens flare generator.”
WIN.
LOL !!!
#13:
Bulkhead.
ROFLMAO – That was the single best one that they’ve ever done. I’m a little biased, but hey, like awards shows, it’s all subjective, right?
#31:
Although I’m with Anthony on the subject of nitpicking, Twilight Zone references are always appreciated. LOL.
That was great! A lady at work was talking to me about star trek yesterday. She said I liked it but what was up with those lights shining in your face? It got annoying after a while. Funny. Get rid of those dam lights and dump the dated brewery engineering section! Then it will be nearly perfect! Oh get rid of the barcode scanners…or at least explain what they are.
That was awesome :D
If they went through the worm hole who knows where and when they’d end up. The sequel would have to be called “Star Trek Lost in Time”!
This was hilarious! ROFL
Where is there ‘nit-picking’ going on? Saying they dislike the ending and that it’s a tired joke that has been done before? That’s ‘not’ nit-picking. That’s legitimate criticism. Nit-picking is when you watch a show or movie and ‘pick’ at minuscule details/mistakes/inconsistencies that the average viewer either doesn’t see or dismisses.
I enjoyed the animation…except for the ending. When they went through I thought to myself…”ok, surely they’re not going to do the Star Wars joke again…that joke has been beaten to death”, but sure enough…they did it.
It was great up until that point. By definition, it’s not nit-picking to wish they had tried harder to do something more original.
You know, going through the black hole could’ve made for a great ending – for a moment, it looks like Kirk & Scotty’s much-used Sacrifice The Warp Core Trick™ is gonna work… but it doesn’t!
The Enterprise hauls around, gets pulled through the black hole, and winds up in the Prime Reality where they briefly meet their future selves (’Trials and Tribble-ations’ style, of course), or maybe even the crew of the Enterprise E, and drop Spock Prime off.
Whilst there, Kirk-Pine gets hold of some Anti-Red Matter, flies the Enterprise back home, saves Vulcan, gets TWO commendations for original thinking, hooks up with that cute Orion girl, then listens to Shatner as he narrates over the closing few scenes of the movie. :D
These things are funny up to a point, but too many of them end with the obvious: something blows up/the protagonist dies that didn’t blow up/die at the end of the actual movie. That in itself is commentary – an awful lot of movies turn, at their climax, on the protagonists escaping something that’s going to blow up – but it’s pretty much one-note after a while.
Art’s good, animation is simple but effective, and a number of the gags along the way are cute.
I laughed out loud all the way through it. That doesn’t happen often. Terrific!
Anthony,
“nitpicking” is OK. If you feel really bad about it…. then maybe perhaps you shouldn’t read the comments, because theirs no stopping it ! And you know the thing about nitpicking….. its FAIR. Because you created this online comment forum, and didn’t you expect people to write down their opinions down ? You started this democracy in the first place. Now your complaining ? How about you cut the comments section or simply ignore the nitpicking.
Calm down cupcake.
Yeah, having them meet the Shatner Kirk et al at the end would have been a fun way to go too… though considering the Abrams connection, I figured they might crash in to the Lost island…
The best one, and probably one of the earliest, was The Lord of the Rings. Funny, and so true.

But, then there wouldn’t be a sequel! What’s HISHE trying to say, huh?????
Jk, great video!
@ 46.
You’re my hero!
Great!
One of the funniest vids I’ve seen about the new movie.
What;s the difference between nitpicking and paying attention to detail? If only Toyota engineeres were nitpickers we’d be living in a safer world.
Gee… heaven FORBID that Anthony should make an observation about the comments on his. Own. Site.
I’m not sure what’s worse — the nitpicking or the unbelievable thin-skinnedness.
Call it a draw.
Hilarious!
I like that. Funny little commentary on some of the quirks or oddities in the new flick and Trek in general. But…….
Seriously.
When Trek fans feel the need to pick apart a joke for inaccuracies or because the nits just can’t be avoided, they might be up for nomination as asshats.
Forgot to mention that I especially enjoyed the shoulder tap when Kirk tells Spock “It’s what we do!”. The shoulder taps in the movie kind of annoyed me.
there was no “nitpicking” happening here. Merely noticing a repeated joke which was repeated ad nausem on youtube.
So, you can either start another holy war against a new enemy, the “nitpickers”. or you can get updated on jokes on youtube. :P
I loved the, “Turn the ship around.” It was really funny, but when he said that, I thought “Kirk really would have said that.”
This guy’s stuff is awesome!
Or could could just enjoy everything for what it is: fun! It was…fun! Oh my!
That was pretty good!
I love this one…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yavK0mnE3wI
Hahaha, awesome. Love the lens flare comment.
“Who designs a starship where light shines directly into your eyes from literally every possible angle?”
Awesome.
Better if the alternate Enterprise came through to the real Star Trek universe, then got blasted by the planet killer just before our Enterprise warped away.
When did Scotty become Irish? (Or is it just cos i’m Scottish that i’m the only one that noticed?)
#64 yeh, it’ll be cos you’re Scottish. Nobody else care’s. ;)
The Chekov voice is spot on! lol
OMG!! That was Good! =D
“Shut down the lens flare generators!” ROFLMAO!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank AP for lifting up that rock I have apparently been under and allowing me the chance to “go youtube it” and watch all of the HISHE cartoons. That’s some good stuff there. I don’t know how I could have missed it. Transformers, Superman, LOTR, Wizard of Oz, Avatar. All funny to me.
Great, I really enjoyed the really long commercial at the beginning of the how the star trek clip ended. the are destroying the internet with that garbage.
I don’t mind sitting through a commercial to see an actual tv show but for a clip its just dumb.

“You can get updated on jokes on YouTube”. You were addressing Anthony P., but let me just respond for myself: I’ll make that a high priority in my life. ; )
“Turn off the lens flare generators…” = Epic Win…
:D
and Anthony, you better reinforce that wall, their now nitpicking the nitpicking….
>nitpicking the nitpicking…
LOL i almost choke with my tea here, really hehehehe
Hahahaha!!! Omigawd, that was freakin’ hilarious. The redshirts.. the lens flares… the freakin’ Death Star (and Vader gettin’ pwned by Spock Prime) … I loved it. I think I really would have been satisfied if the movie had ended like that. x3
Hey Anthony. How is yor head doing. Well. Anyway. That Big E was Not Canon. There I said it. Lol. Oh Ok. May the Schwartz be with you.
That was terrible.
when i first saw ST09 at the end when the Ent is being pulled into the black hole after having destroyed Nero…i thought oh here we go…they gonna end up back in time and will set things right somehow…or they’ll wind up in the future and stop Nero from entering the vortex etc… or even they end up in the prime future facing off against the Ent E or Ent A even
some twist like that
crazy thoughts…
Spock needs to go back to physics 101. Mass has very thing to do with the gravitational pull of a black hole.
Go Spock Prime!
Philpot, I had the exact same thought the first time I saw the movie. I really worried that they were going to do that.
Funny video, loved it, especially the part with Spock Prime nerve pinching Darth Vader, but seriously: The black hole part was interesting. Imagine if they had done that. Imagine the Enterprise would in the end go back through to the other side of the black hole, but firstly would emerge through it to the 24th century……face to face with NCC1701-D
Now that…was awesome!!!!!:D I was a touch let down by the Death Star zap and then heartily laughing again with the nerve pinch!:) Great stuff!
where did spock prime come from appearing after the death star blows up the e-canon violation-death star space cannon violation hehehh
Anthonys website runs tha full range of emotions lately–cry tears over andrew koenig n poor family then laugh til u cry over how star trek…it was nice to laugh thanks to anthony n all involved-
That was epic!
I love it how nitpickers dont actually have the talent to do it themselves, really..
Extremely well done. Many, many thanks.
the Terminator Salvation/BTTF was was pretty funny too
~78 – “Philpot, I had the exact same thought the first time I saw the movie. I really worried that they were going to do that.”
i was kind of disappointed they didnt! ;)…well maybe not as blatant as going through the blackhole and ending up in in front of the Narada in the 24th century or the kelvin or even the Enterprise E…but something a little bit more to do with the alternate future when K&S were on board the nardara & spock primes ship – as once there they were basically going into the ‘Prime Universe’ and messing about with TNG stuff ..i dunno what exactly – maybe Kirk finding something during his search for nero…finding Spock Primes holoShat emitter? or maybe a download of future events (like In A Mirror Darkly) which he views briefly before its destroyed in the fight…
something like that – the alternate future playing just a little more of a role in the conclusion beyond the ‘I know your face…from earths history..’ .. after all the whole coming back from the future was pretty much the McGuffin – it wouldve been nice to have abit more resolution on that
We are Star Trek fans. Most fellow trekkers love to nitpick. The debate is most of the fun. The problem with this new movie is that they had a huge budget and made some silly decisions…like a brewery for an engineering section and a ton of other locations. I get the using real location thing but it shouldn’t be done at the expense of good design. We’re too smart for that. Doesn’t mean the movie was bad over all.
As long as we’re polite theres nothing wrong with giving our opinions.
This movie has some of the worst writing I’ve ever seen!
Star Trek is THE BEST movie of all time!
Hands Down.
No argument.
#75 –
If only, if only…
Or, they could have given us a true TOS adventure from the start.
#75
Kirks vs Finnegan, a bromance with Gary Mitchell, a big romance with Carol Marcus and the climax of the film being his solution to the KM test and getting assigned to the Farrugut…with a cameo from Nimoy reminising bout the good old days to a bunch of cadets (which he more than likely wouldnt have agreed to)
ok maybe the climax would be getting assigned to the Enterprise as captain and taking over from Pike after the Farragut cloud killer disaster
least with ST09 it was all new (while still adherting to various stuff established in the canon) and the doors now open for a new set of adventures
ah i meant that one for 91 not 75
# 90 Hello Paramount Executive what are you doing here? Did you enjoy your government bailout?
I mean, I get the jokes, but it just wasn’t funny. Just my opinion. Oh well.
@90… Hi, James Cawley! ;-)
I enjoyed it!.
The best thing about Star Trek 09, is all the great spoofs being made lampooning it!
I sincerely hope the next movie will be a good science fiction story instead of the science fantasy movie they made.
James Cawley, I eagerly await your origin story! You are a true Trek fan!
THAT would have been a great ending… going INTO the black hole! Not the Death Star thing, just going into the black hole.
Star Trek funny!
well they coulda gone into the blach hole saw hell with robots(no not the robot devil) and then an angel coulda led the way outta the black hole into a whole new universe—or not—-
regarding the actual video – they went into the past if they met the SW bunch
“A Long Time Ago” wasnt that long ago according to one of the one off ‘SW Tales’…apparently SW was set in around the 18th century earth time (the comic where the Falcon crashes on earth and is later discovered by Indiana Jones;)
I love it!
VERY funny!!!
Paramount got a government bailout? How’d I miss that one? I’m a news junkie!
GREAT JOB!
Hilarious!
I loved the video, but if they had turned & entered the black hole in the real movie it would have been too much like the Lost In Space movie.
I know individuals in the studio system. The big studios certainly got them, it just never hit the main stream media.

In 2009, Paramount took advantage of a significant tax break. Such breaks, in the years prior to those in which the government found the need to hand the cash out directly, were commonly labeled government “bailouts”.
