Next week on Patreon I'm getting a promotion cause we're halfway thru Season 5! Crazy! TNG Playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLQHhQlj8i5dqskzLNqeSNyMGa1rBWe3h1 Original Series: ruclips.net/p/PLQHhQlj8i5drsrCtQd-FDuZZ99vKlPTyZ
Yes... Worf gets the best lines in this episode. Also in general, the "straight man" delivery as he bashes the mandolin and the "sorry" at the end is peak comedy. I really enjoyed the diversion into something less serious, it's very much original series episode, you could easily see this done as a Trelane episode where he just wants to play with his mortal toys. By the start of the 4th season and the rest of the series run it got a lot more relaxed and it also shows in how much more the cast acts with each other. Far past the stuffy stiff days of season one. Which amplifies how much these castmates became a family in real life, they are all still very close. Which for some was very much needed, Will Wheaton especially.
In one of the novels, the Enterprise crew encounter a civilization that's like Europe in medieval times. Worf very much wants to go down to the planet because he sees it as similar to Klingon culture: a violent place that is governed by strict rules of honour. So he's disappointed that he's not chosen to be on the away team. Then he's told that Captain Picard wants him to beam down, and he's elated! So they give him the costume he's supposed to wear, and it turns out that Picard wants him to pretend to be a genie. The costume is like silk robes with curly slippers. Worf sees it as a very silly way of dressing. However, the obvious rage he's feeling really helps to sell the supernatural power of his role! From the point of view of the people on the planet, this is a huge being with a distorted face that is dressed in a bizarre manner and intensely staring with menace at everybody!
Fun fact: the bit where Worf smashes Geordi's mandolin & says "Sorry" is a direct reference to _Animal House_ (1978), wherein Bluto (John Belushi) famously does the exact same thing.
@@maxducoudray Agreed. Hell, I'm a Gen Xer, and when I saw it when I was in college in the late 1980s, it was already showing its age and not living up to its rep.
I've often wondered if this episode (1991) inspired Mel Brooks to cast Patric Stewart as King Richard in "Men in Tights" (1993), but I haven't been able to track that down. I wouldn't doubt it.
*Picard:* I've just been paid a visit by Q. *Riker:* _Q?!_ Any idea what he's up to? *Picard:* He wants to do something _nice_ for me. *Riker:* _~understanding nod~_ I'll alert the crew. Hilarious out of context. Some guy has shown up and has declared his intent to do something nice for someone. Alert the crew! Red Alert!
Riker on shipwide intercom: "Attention all crew members, this is the First Officer. Q wants to something nice for the Captain. That is all. Riker out."😂
I saw a video of the cast at a convention where they said it was Michael Dorn himself who was pushing after season 1 to make Worf the subtle comedic relief. Apparently the show's creators couldn't see it working at first, the contrast between a serious broody character and comedy, but Dorn's dead pan tongue-in-cheek performance was so good that they found ways to create more funny moments for him!
@@stumilesyt Another great example is of course Teal'c from Stargate SG-1, another big-gruff-tough-guy-with-a-heart-of-gold character. It helps that his actor Christopher Judge is absolutely hilarious and has perfect comedic timing.
Jonathan Frakes told a story about how he was whacked over the head with a sword while filming this episode and was taken to hospital for stitches. They rolled him into casualty in his Little John costume, and nobody batted an eye. That's Hollywood!
Those episodes are a lot of fun for the cast, but Gates McFadden and Marina Sirtis were a bit miffed that they were the only cast members already trained in sword fighting and still they weren't allowed to show it, instead being limited to smashing pots on guards' heads.
Worf smashing Geordi's lute was an allusion to John Belushi smashing a guitar in the movie "Animal House". It was a frat party and some hipster was playing guitar on the stairs. He grabbed it from the guy, smashed it, the said, "Sorry."
A lot of people misunderstand the difference between an antagonist and a villain. An antagonist is the source of conflict for the protagonist, a villain does evil acts, but an antagonist need not be evil just as protagonist is just the POV character. So you are 100% correct, Q is an antagonist. Some stuff is evil, some just strange, but he is always a source of chaos and conflict, a catalyst for something.
Well said! I was thinking that when she was debating whether Q is an antagonist. He literally “antagonizes” our main POV characters so he is by definition an antagonist no matter his motives.
Ha Ha Ha. The Mandolin... I re played that 3 times it was so funny that you laughed at that. Good reaction, Jen. always fun with your reactions. Thank you. 😊
For those who don't prefer the word "antagonist" to describe Q in this series, I offer the word "foil" (A person or thing that contrasts with and so emphasizes and enhances the qualities of another).
People confuse 'antagonist' for 'villain'. Antagonists are a _story_ role. Villains are a _character_ role. You can have a loving, caring antagonist in the form of a parent trying to keep their kid out of trouble in a teen romp comedy. The kid is still trying to get around their parents in order to get to that party where they'll win the love of their life.
This one was my favorite episode to see how close the characters have become. Worf smashing the instrument, Beverly laughing in background and Geordi looking puzzle.
Hello Jen!😊 I forgot about Picard being flustered in the presence of Beverly and Vash!😆 A rare phenomenon indeed!😉 Great reactions to this funny Q episode, Jen!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"I have a debt to repay, to you, and it gnaws at me and it interferes with each of my days" I love John De Lancie - There are a few TNG Audio books that he narrates that are pretty good too.
Wonder what the cast thought when they first read the script for this one. When de Lancie's scheduled to appear they must know they're in for a good time 😅 Thanks for the laughs on this one Jen!
One of my favourite episodes of season four. “ protest, Captain, I am not amerry Man” followed up by the destruction of Geordies instrument. Worf not having the best of time. I love these different episodes, once again hats off to the incredible casting crew for always finding the right actor to portray the various roles . Well done, number one !! 🖖😊🇨🇦
SPACE ! these are the journeys of the U.S.S JENTERPRISE................................... to boldly go where no-one has gone before. Jen's intros are a thing of legend noone does them better not even Picard himself 🖖 Jen's trek reactions are the Vulcan best even the Borg couldn't simulate such perfection 🔥💙🔥💙
As a former resident of Nottingham I can vouch for this episode's 100% accuracy :). (fun one this IMO. Worf is surely this episode's MVP with "Sir, I protest. I am not a merry man !" plus the 'Animal House' style smashing of Geordi's lute. Also, was Picard's mid-swordfight line about "There's something you should know..." a 'Princess Bride' nod ? It is in _my_ head anyway :)
That was a fun episode and such a wonderful reaction, Jen😂 Your laughing made my day...my Star Trek sunday. 🖖 Thanks alot! By the way, I love your outros. Always great analyzing.
Q IS an antagonist since by definition an antagonist is not the villain but the one who affects and sometimes changes the protagonist. Typically the villain IS the antagonist but not always.
That Worf scene when he approaches Jordi and slams that little guitar 🎸 and breast it is my favorite comedy scene in all of STNG series! 😂😂😂 Everytime I see it it breaks me down in laughter. U can see Beverly and Jordi trying not to laugh in this scene but they can’t stand it. 😂😂😂 Look at Joedis face.
Greetings again Admiral Murray. It is so good to see you laugh. I had forgotten about this episode. Love ❤️ your reaction as always. Live long and prosper 🖖 😊.
''Sir - I must protest! I am NOT a merry man!'' - the best line in the entire Star Trek franchise ... EVER! Who knew the big, tough & deadly Klingon warrior head of security would make the best comic relief! 🤣🤣
I met Michael Dorn at a convention years ago and got him to sign his pic ‘I am NOT a merry man!’ And he seemed pretty grumpy doing it because I’m guessing everyone was asking for that same quote 😂
"Q, what did going into Sherwood Forest and making me play the role of Robin Hood to Vash's Marian have to do with all this?" "I just wanted to see you in tights, Jean-Luc" ("Q&A", Keith R.A. DeCandido, 2007. The book itself contains spoilers for TNG and possibly DS9 but the quote works out of context.)
"This is Beverly. Doctor Beverly. Doctor Beverly Crusher." Remains my favorite line from the episode despite there being so many banging one-liners. XD
It might not be the best TNG episode, or at least certainly not the most thought provoking, but Worf's "Sir, I protest. I am not a merry man!" is one of my favorite lines of the entire series...
AMAZING thumbnail jen one of my favourites so far from you 🔥😀 you cracking up and that look on friar datas face is so funny 😅 you definitely don't receive enough compliments on your thumbnails they are always wonderful and i for one appreciate the time you take making them , it doesn't go unnoticed 🔥💙
Ah, Next Jen, the reactions so nice you have to watch them twice (or more)! Your outro analysis is always insightful. Yes, a definite "opposites attract" dynamic with Picard & Vash. And Q is a great character because he is so adept at pushing stuffy Picard's buttons. Thanks Jen!
I remember taping this episode when it first aired in 1991 (I was 17 at the time. My dad was deployed after Desert Storm and I was taping the episodes for him while was gone to weed out commercials.) During one of the commercial breaks was when I first saw a TV trailer for "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" w/ Keven Coster coming out later that summer. I thought, "man...Hollywood is on a Robin Hood kick this year!!" :P
I think most fans like this episode for exactly what it is. Fun. Ridiculous. A chance to mess around with Q for an episode. And an opportunity to see Vash again. I've always enjoyed this episode.

Someone is doing extra work to earn promotions that quickly. To be true to Starfleet you need to do a half pip. No one jumps two ranks.
Yes... Worf gets the best lines in this episode. Also in general, the "straight man" delivery as he bashes the mandolin and the "sorry" at the end is peak comedy.

I used to have this as my ringtone.
“Sir, I protest. I am NOT a merry man!” 😂😂 Best line ever.
one of the most memorable lines in TNG.
I don’t know (spoiler alert)….
“Death to the opposition” was up there too.
Definitely one of the most memorable lines.
"Good tea. Nice house." is runner up for me
In one of the novels, the Enterprise crew encounter a civilization that's like Europe in medieval times. Worf very much wants to go down to the planet because he sees it as similar to Klingon culture: a violent place that is governed by strict rules of honour.

I don't think i've ever seen Jen laugh harder than when Worf smashes Geordi's lute on the side of that tree.
One of the funniest moments of the entire series. Love this episode
and she doesn't know the movie reference
Animal House: The Next Generation
Then you haven't seen her reaction to IT Crowd s2e1.
Crusher's reaction in the background really makes that moment for me.
"I'm from Space!"
No, he's from France, he only works in outer space.
"I got that reference."
Lol😊
The most British French man ever.
Fun fact: the bit where Worf smashes Geordi's mandolin & says "Sorry" is a direct reference to _Animal House_ (1978), wherein Bluto (John Belushi) famously does the exact same thing.
Love that song.
I hope Jen does that movie some day.
@@NotData It doesn't hold up. No way a millenial woman is going to enjoy it the way boomer young men did back in the day.
@@maxducoudray Agreed. Hell, I'm a Gen Xer, and when I saw it when I was in college in the late 1980s, it was already showing its age and not living up to its rep.
Also in 8Simple Rules the middle sister does the same to her brother.
At least this "Robin Hood" could speak in an English accent. LOL
@firedoc5 i see your sly nod to Men in Tights , yes this whole episode definitely had that vibe to it !!
Think the "I'm not from Nottingham" quote from the sword fight is another Carey Elwes reference, "The Princess Bride"
I've often wondered if this episode (1991) inspired Mel Brooks to cast Patric Stewart as King Richard in "Men in Tights" (1993), but I haven't been able to track that down. I wouldn't doubt it.
@@garycameron8167 Interesting. Never thought of that.

Worf smashing Geordi’s mandolin always cracks me up 😂.
Then hands him back what's left. "Sorry." Not.
I get the feeling they took that scene from Animal House.
THIS 😂😂
@@VforVictory00 Yes - John Belushi -Blutto in "Toga!" not a fan of acoustic folk music!
*lute
"I Protest! I am not a merry man!" is one of TNGs classic lines. It is one of the sillier episodes, but it is generally loved.
When this series began, I never would have guessed that Worf would have the funniest scenes. It's great to share this show with you, Jen!
"Good Tea, Nice House!"
Never doubt the straight man.

A lot of them with Q. "Die". One of my favorites.
Worf: “I am NOT a merry man!”
Me: “Not with that attitude, Mister Worf.”
Jonathan Frakes told a story about how he was whacked over the head with a sword while filming this episode and was taken to hospital for stitches. They rolled him into casualty in his Little John costume, and nobody batted an eye. That's Hollywood!

Those episodes are a lot of fun for the cast, but Gates McFadden and Marina Sirtis were a bit miffed that they were the only cast members already trained in sword fighting and still they weren't allowed to show it, instead being limited to smashing pots on guards' heads.
Worf smashing the mandolin was a nod to John Belushi as Bluto Blutarsky in "Animal House" (1978).
Ah you beat me to it!
@@Temeraire101 - 😎
SENATOR Blutarsky!!
@@ortizmo 🤣
Q is absolutely an antagonist. He's just funny & interesting & charismatic.
Worf smashing Geordi's lute was an allusion to John Belushi smashing a guitar in the movie "Animal House". It was a frat party and some hipster was playing guitar on the stairs. He grabbed it from the guy, smashed it, the said, "Sorry."
I always appreciate this era of Trek that had a solid mix of sad, scary, funny, and gravely serious episodes. DS9 had a great mix of that too
Thank you for doing these Star Trek TNG Sunday reactions, Jen, your hatd work is always appreciated. 🙂

Sir, I protest. I am *not* a merry man! 😂😂😂 Worf.
When Picard opened the door and saw Beverly standing there, he was more afraid than he ever was with the Borg.
Worf saying "I am NOT a merry man!" That is one of my favorite lines of the entire series.
I live 25 miles away from Nottingham..A few years ago I met the actors who play Worf, Crusher and Troi there at a convention.
But did you meet the Sheriff?
"He wants to do something... nice for me"
"I'll alert the crew"
Love that.
Ha Ha Ha. The Mandolin... I re played that 3 times it was so funny that you laughed at that. Good reaction, Jen. always fun with your reactions. Thank you. 😊
Jen the Trekkie laughing so hard at Data as Friar Tuck and Whorf providing feedback on Geordi's mandolin playing made my year! : )

@@BogeyTheBear Agreed. The antagonist simply opposes the protagonist or be an obstruction to his plans, he doesn't necessarily have to be evil.
I prefer to call Q "next of kin to chaos" as someone said of him in one of the books.
@@darthken815 One of the books? Picard calls him that in Q-Who.
@@pcnoad
My bad. Brain fart. Thanks for correcting me. 👍🏿
In Patrick Stewart's book, he talks about the affair he had with the Actress that plays Vash. It basically broke up his first marriage.
I was about to comment on that.
This one was my favorite episode to see how close the characters have become. Worf smashing the instrument, Beverly laughing in background and Geordi looking puzzle.
Hello Jen!😊 I forgot about Picard being flustered in the presence of Beverly and Vash!😆 A rare phenomenon indeed!😉 Great reactions to this funny Q episode, Jen!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Worf as a not-so-merry man will never not be funny. 😅
they are 100% friends with space benefits. vash has definitely engaged picard's warp drive, and he has overhauled her dilithium chamber for sure
"they are 100% friends with space benefits."
Yes. This was strongly implied in s3e19 episode Captain's Holiday.
Q is the Star Trek equivalent of Loki
or maybe PUCK if we want to stick to Shakespearian terms
Wonder what the cast thought when they first read the script for this one. When de Lancie's scheduled to appear they must know they're in for a good time 😅
Thanks for the laughs on this one Jen!
watching QPid pre-Jen: _"Well, this episode exists..."_
watching QPid post-Jen's laughing: _"This episode's GREAT!"_
One of my favourite episodes of season four.

Resistance to Jen is futile!
Vash was so hot!
We definitely already knew Worf wasn't a merry man.
'Sir, I prorest, I am not a merry man'. The greatest line in all of Star Trek.

With the unauthorized guest on the Bridge making herself comfortable, Worf looked mad enough to chew neutronium.
He was definitely NOT a merry man at that point either 😂

I know she's a talented actress, but I still contend Gates (Crusher) didn't know the lute smash was coming. Watch her reaction in the background.
I LOVE U JEN, YR ENTHUSIASM FOR THE TREK I LOVE HAS ENRICHED MY WORLD
Greetings again Admiral Murray. It is so good to see you laugh. I had forgotten about this episode. Love ❤️ your reaction as always. Live long and prosper 🖖 😊.
She's not gonna make Admiral til DS9.
"Lukewarm"? No way. Great episode.
Clive Revill, the actor who plays "Guy of Gisbourne" on this episode is also the original voice of Emperor Palpatine on the Empire Strikes Back.
I love Geordi's reaction when Worf smashes his Lute, then looks at it 😂 and Worf apologising made it funnier
This is my FAVE episode of all time and my mom and I quote "I'm not a merry man" all the time!!!
"Sir, I protest. I am not a merry man!” - that's Worf's best line from the TNG
Whoever played Guy of Gisbourne gives the perfect post slap "...I see..."
"Q wants to do something nice for me." "Ah, crap!" - Worf is the funniest thing in this episode.
''Sir - I must protest! I am NOT a merry man!'' - the best line in the entire Star Trek franchise ... EVER!
Who knew the big, tough & deadly Klingon warrior head of security would make the best comic relief! 🤣🤣
I'm so glad that Worf is not a merry man.
I met Michael Dorn at a convention years ago and got him to sign his pic ‘I am NOT a merry man!’ And he seemed pretty grumpy doing it because I’m guessing everyone was asking for that same quote 😂
'He is distracted by archaeology'. As an archaeologist, I know the feeling
"Q, what did going into Sherwood Forest and making me play the role of Robin Hood to Vash's Marian have to do with all this?"
"I just wanted to see you in tights, Jean-Luc"
("Q&A", Keith R.A. DeCandido, 2007. The book itself contains spoilers for TNG and possibly DS9 but the quote works out of context.)
The lute bit with Worf and Geordi is a homage to a party scene featuring John Belushi in Animal House
4:03 Guys! I hooked uuuuup! - Jean Luc Picard
"This is Beverly. Doctor Beverly. Doctor Beverly Crusher." Remains my favorite line from the episode despite there being so many banging one-liners. XD
When Worf smashed the...whatever that was....I had never seen Beverly's reaction in the background.
It was an epic laugh indeed! Worf is so good in that setting
Q is definitely an antagonist, by definition. He is not an enemy. There's a difference that Jen understands that perhaps some others have not.
This is one of my absolute favorite episodes! I love the character of Vash, along with Q (who I also adore)! Such a fun and funny episode!
"She just looking out for Number 1?" No I don't think she cares much about Riker...
😂
I'm not lukewarm on this episode. I actually EMBRACE the HUMOROUS EPISODES unlike many Trek fans or sci-fi fans. I LOVE Q AND VASH!
Gates and Mirina were the only ones with sword training, yet their characters were only able to smash pots. 😅
thanks for this Jen , These Sundays are a lot of fun !! Great spending time with you . Enjoy your day . Oh , yeah , Happy Hobbit Day !!!
😃this episode contains possibly worf's funnest line ever , Worf to Jean-Luc 😂"Sir I Protest i'm Not A Merry Man"🤣
Worf smashing the mandolin is easily one of the most randomly hilarious scenes of any Star Trek TV ever!
It might not be the best TNG episode, or at least certainly not the most thought provoking, but Worf's "Sir, I protest. I am not a merry man!" is one of my favorite lines of the entire series...
"I am not a merry man!" is probably the best line in all of TNG
Such an enjoyable episode. Vash is looking great in that short dress!
Nice legs. For a human.
AMAZING thumbnail jen one of my favourites so far from you 🔥😀 you cracking up and that look on friar datas face is so funny 😅 you definitely don't receive enough compliments on your thumbnails they are always wonderful and i for one appreciate the time you take making them , it doesn't go unnoticed 🔥💙
From this day forth, all toilets in the kingdom will be known as johns!!
Best line (and delivery!) in all of TNG.
One of the best lines of the season: "Sir, must protest! I am not a merry man!"
Ah, Next Jen, the reactions so nice you have to watch them twice (or more)! Your outro analysis is always insightful. Yes, a definite "opposites attract" dynamic with Picard & Vash. And Q is a great character because he is so adept at pushing stuffy Picard's buttons. Thanks Jen!
With all the opportunities for people to shine in this episode, Michael Dorn really took over in his scenes.
I remember taping this episode when it first aired in 1991 (I was 17 at the time. My dad was deployed after Desert Storm and I was taping the episodes for him while was gone to weed out commercials.) During one of the commercial breaks was when I first saw a TV trailer for "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" w/ Keven Coster coming out later that summer. I thought, "man...Hollywood is on a Robin Hood kick this year!!" :P
Every once in a while, RUclips hits me with an ad right after you say COMMERCIAL BREAK. And it is glorious.
9:38 Scene was roughly taken from the movie “Animal House”.
Classic
Funniest scene in all of Star Trek - Worf's "music critique" - "Sorry'.
I'm watching this, thinking about how Patrick Stewart was in Men In Tights, too! 😅
I think most fans like this episode for exactly what it is. Fun. Ridiculous. A chance to mess around with Q for an episode. And an opportunity to see Vash again. I've always enjoyed this episode.
A Sword Fight in Nottingham?...They should fight Left Handed....Inconceivable....=))
Best part of the episode is when Worf destroys Geordi's lute.
A little throwback perhaps to " Animal House".
Best line of Picard to Q EVER: "I am way to old for your Bullshit!" 😂😂😂
This is one of my favorites. I love when Star Trek gets silly.
12:24 I was half expecting for the dragon to attack.
Q's not a villain... He's Mr Mxyzptlk...
Worf smashing the mandolin was taken from Animal House. Still works! LOL 😅
What's this secret communication between women information nugget! Such a tease lol. Thanks for the series Next Jenner!
One of my favorite episodes also. Anything with Q is worth watching. 😆
Picard with a goatee! I think it looks even better than mirror universe Spock.
Oh, and let's not forget that Friar Tuck is hauling Klingon Blood Wine.
