You know you've been in the US too long if your first reaction to something is reaching for your lawyers.
I know, he'd didn't create NG, so what does he care?
Very sad he mentioned lawyers , a very American thing to do
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes
Is he trolling us? I think he is.
"So I left the telephone where it was, and I kept watching... And all her clothes fell off, and I'd seen everything"....
That's exactly what I was thinking of when I watched this lol He's almost talking as if he's doing that scene in Extras.
and then I rode off on my bike.....on the grass...
😂
Nearly dropped me skateboard
I can't tell any more if he's serious or joking until he smiles he should do more dead pan stuff.
This is a public service announcement. Patrick Stewart wasn't serious when he said he was about to phone his lawyer. This is something called humour.
"Don't give me any of that Star Trek crap, it's too early in the morning!"
Red Dwarf season 4 episode 6
Kryton: You'd sacrifice your safety for a mere mechanoid? is this the human value known as 'friendship'?
Lister: awww enough of the Star Trek crap, it's too early in the morning!
Season 3 my dear friend
*series

, ... your quotations are incorrect... Both Lister and Kryton don't say those lines (not entirely). Please, either get it right or don't bother. Also, it is "series", not season. It is called "series". @Roger bance, it is known as "series", you idiot.
@Mally Mallyno, the person typed "season" (even though jimmy should have typed "series", as that is what it is called). Learn how to read, idiot with OCD. Also, learn how to respond. Who was your comment to?
Quick Strike I can read perfectly well thank you, for example I can read what you wrote, calling two people idiots and myself an ‘idiot with OCD’, while also telling someone that if they don’t get the complete quote from a sci fi programme right then not too bother! You’re obviously a complete loser.
Name calling over Sci-fi is equivalent to talking to a mountain trying to convince it to come down to your level.
My dad introduced me to Red Dwarf. I have watched every single episode (including of the newer series that came out a while back), more than 10 times each. I still remember me and him sitting down with some pizza and drinks and binging it together. Good times.
A nice bonding experience.
I was first exposed to Red Dwarf on a pre new years marathon in the late 80s on PBS and was sold. Overall, what an incredibly funny and brilliant series. To this day, it's one of my favorite series. Good on you Patrick Stewart!
It's Sir Patrick Stewart.
Imagine both shows after swapping Kryten and Data, and maybe Worf and Cat. Please let this be real somewhere in the multiverse.
It's called a Cat'leth.
Worf would become very embarrassed about that and his face would go red. Therefore, he would become Red Worf.
LOL!
Are you a free mason
Cat in a holodec
It's nice to see such a serious actor has a sense of humor about his work and parodies of it.
One of the best comedy series to ever grace the tv
I think Red Dwarf is under appreciated, just like Blakes 7. The sheer brilliance of calling the Rimmer character Rimmer, love it.
I love that I watched Red Dwarf as a child, and then all through my teens, and it wasn't until I was casually watching a repeat many years later as an adult that I paused and thought "hang on... Ri... OH MY GOD"
@@AlastairjCarruthers Same here.
@@AlastairjCarruthers I liked the before times. Like before two minutes ago when I hadn’t read this. Never made that connection before.
I've been a fan of RD practically since the beginning but never thought twice about Rimmer's name until I read your post. Now just thinking of that makes me laugh.
Explain “Rimmer.”
It's all tongue in cheek - he loves it.
Best laugh I ever had was the very first time I watched Red Dwarf for the first time, I was sick with a cracked rib, I couldn`t stop laughing, and between Laugh and been in very agonizing pain, was when I became a big fan of Red Dwarf.
Holy crap, same thing happened to me, except it was a dislocated shoulder!
Every laugh was a stab of pain, but I couldn't stop watching!
I was full rebel teen at the time. Lister became somewhat of a idol to me. Confirmed to me that you could very much be a rebel in life and still hold morality as your core. You could eat curry in the morning and still be a better man than the likes of rimmer. Unlike those I saw on the bbc, in government, in the classroom. Who held so tightly to a rigid mask of morality but had none, lister stood tall as real caring human with a conscience and a heart. We only ever need that in life.
Thank you red dwarf team ✌️
@@luminousfractal420 "You could eat curry in the morning and still be a better man than the likes of rimmer."
I like that.
What about the second time you watched Red Dwarf for the first time? Or the first time you watched Red Dwarf for the second time?
@@davidhoekstra4620 Still made me laugh!
It’s rather amusing to think how quickly he jumped from a glance at Red Dwarf to “phone my lawyer” so damn fast!!
I imagine Stewart would laugh his head off at all the people here actually taking him seriously.
Are you a bit dim? He's clearly being serious. Stewart has admitted that he used to be deadly serious about his work - particularly the work that made him a household name - and once blew up on his TNG cast screaming "WE ARE NOT HERE TO HAVE FUN!!". And as someone who has met Stewart personally and seen him act like a dick first hand (aswell as in numerous clips posted by others since), I can confirm he IS being serious and he really can be quite a tool. Though I'm told it depends on what day you happen to meet him on
@@McKamikazeHighlanderIn his defense, he has softened as he’s gotten older. Even just within the span of TNG’s run.
Patrick Stewart in Red Dwarf = Epic
brilliant bit of interview here...
Patrick Stewart is as classy as ever,
and gets to show off his funny side, too.
would have loved to have seen him cameo in RD. :D
Cat - Engage (the reheat) !
Good old British comedy you can't beat it especially when you lived in America for so long a Patrick, at least he quickly remember British sarcasm in the classroom.
you sound like one of those people who think that putting a union jack on something makes it better and worth more money
@@TheEvilCheesecake Am Scottish by birth, are comedy sense is a little different but so every other countries, but Red Dwarf is a piss take of all science fiction not to offend anyone 👍.
maybe the show is good because it's good, and not because it's british ey?
Why can't it be both? Are you literally trying to deny culture is a thing? Fucking hell, how would comedy work if there wasn't a collective understanding of life? Goon.@@TheEvilCheesecake
The lesson is. Watch first, judge later.
A thing that outrage people doesn't do.
What? This is an outrage!
they should get Sir Patrick Stewart to guest star on Red Dwarf XI in 2015!
Or maybe XIII in November this year.
Or maybe SOMETIME before they eventually decide to end Red Dwarf for good, especially after all the other guest stars they've had in the series.
It'd be nice to see Patrick on Red Dwarf
Man i love that patrick stewart has praise for Red Dwarf!!!! Man thank you for posting this on youtube!!! If even the main character from Star Trek: TNG enjoys Red Dwarf's perspective on the future with humor, those who enjoy the soap opera of ST:TNG will love this 'break' from seriousness on future subjects!! I love Red Dwarf for being this!!! (also hyperspace). This is why i also loved futurama! Sometimes you need a break from serious thought about what may be, and have a laugh about it all.
Wait til he gets a load of "The Orville"....
No
no one watches it
Clip is from Red Dwarf Night… 1998. Brilliant.
God I love Patrick Stewart!
Hey it's mr flibble 😆 I've got you on a T-shirt 👕
His Yorkshire leaks out when he says "laaaf" :)
this late 90s early 00s digital transfer look is quite nicely nostalgic
the idea that Red Dwarf was a Star Trek rip off must be both a great honor and deeply confusing for all involved. They really are nothing alike and i love them both.
It's basically a parody of Star Trek...
Reaching for a lawyer because he saw it was in the same genre as Star Trek, what a mature and upstanding man 👏
@@jamesflames6987 How exactly? Star Trek doesn't own the concept of a show set in space. Where are the similarities? Other than a crew member that is an android and again hardly an original concept when TNG did it.
@@GarethColquhoun Red Dwarf is a comedy show. It takes traditional science fiction tropes and turns them on their head. The overall format of the show of flying through deep space and encountering various strange planets and life forms is exactly the same as Star Trek. The idea of the Lister character is a direct response to the stereotypically "clean-cut" nature of Star Trek characters. To consider Red Dwarf to be entirely original and totally unrelated to other science fiction especially Star Trek is to miss out on a huge part of what the writers were getting at. If you have never seen Star Trek, Red Dwarf wouldn't nearly be so funny, because you would have no idea how a normal spacefarer or android "should" behave.
@@Bruh-zx2mc that's what some people refer to as "humour"
Highest praise right there
Fabulous. My favourite show still to watch when I just want to laugh 😅🤣😂
Best part of the documentary
Noone on Star trek has even heard the words "chicken vindaloo".
Especially Nelix.
"It's the shits, Captain! I cannae take it!!!!"
"Noone?" Like Dr. Noonian Soong?
Thank you for uploading; nice one! Patrick Stewart is my #1 Star Trek actor. I am glad he appreciates Red Dwarf as much as I.
Red Dwarf makes loads of references to other Sci Fi series; one but has to be a fan of those to notice the parodies when they happen. They may be a bit subtle but they are most certainly there.
If you need some prompting on the episodes/occasions this happens refer to Wikipedia.
"That wild, ironic humor" is now part of Star Trek. With Bridge Crew.
Go watch it!
im picturing Patrick. in the 90s. alone in his 4star hotel room. channel surfing looking for Star Trek The Next Generation.. finding an episode. and then watching it in its entirety.
So he thought "it's a show set on a spaceship, that's a copyright violation"
He's got an English dry sense of humour. It was a joke
There was an episode that had a very similar premise, Gunman Of The Apocolypse.
Well he's english, but he had been living in america for a while, so he probably picked up a few bad habits =P
Set phasers to bitch
The fact that Patrick was on the verge of calling his lawyers say much about him!
That he would make as good a Federation Captain in real life as he did on TV? “Load the lawyer photon torpedoes!”, “Aye Sir!”.
It's called storytelling. And there is a public for it.
The fact that you are naive enough to take this expression literally tells us a LOT about you! And it doesn't say much for your intelligence.
@@mjd4174 My! My! You seem weirdly triggered! I love how you go straight for the ad hominem. Are you in love with him or maybe you spend most of the day in a Star Trek costume.
What a legend he is!
And I picked up the phone to call my lawyer and said “Engage!”
If anyone is curious the two episodes are most likely A Fist Full of Datas and Gun Men of the Apocalypse
Patrick Stewarts first knowledge of sci fi was his own show. RD owes more to the considerable legacy of British sci fi that came before it certainly not STNG.
Fair point, but what he said is that this kind of treatment is a mockery of "serious" shows like TNG, which it is in the same Life of Brian is, among other things, a mockery of Roman Empire and Biblical epics.
Patrick Stewart was in Dune three years before TNG aired. I think he had knowledge of sci-fi before TNG.
He's just taking the piss lad.
@@thiagodeandrade7081 it called a parody if it mimics and makes fun of something not Mockery, mockery would Imply some small level of hate for the Original show.
tho i really wanted to know the episode Patrick watched I don't recall any parody episodes of red dwarf with TNG as the Parody,
it also extremely different compared to tng red dwarf follow more with Voyager then tng
Lifeforce has entered the chat
Patrick you queen.
Red Dwarf is like a cross between Star Trek and Lost In Space, except it's a sit-com
*Switches on Star Trek: Discovery*
"Where is everybody, Patrick?"
"They're dead, Wesley"
"Kirk?"
"He's dead, Wesley"
"What? Spock?'
"He's dead too, Wesley"
"Wait...You mean to say that Guinean, Troi, Riker-"
"They're dead, Wesley"
"Even Sisko and Janeway?"
"Everybody's dead, Wesley. They're all dead, Wesley"
"Not Archer?"
"Blimey, including Odo, Quark, Chakotay, Nelix and Captain Pike. Everybody's dead. They're all dead, Wesley"
"Wait....are you trying to tell me everybody's dead?"
"Shut up, Wesley!"
Way under-rated comment. Debonaire Nerd nailed both RD and STTNG with the fewest words possible. Yeah, Debonaire Nerd, even Peterson! Hard to believe, right?
@ Debonaire Nerd
I can hear Patrick Stewart's voice saying that! lol!
Janeway is dead? Thank god, the universe is a safer place.
1:19 In the recent season of Star Trek: Picard, there was a scene with Picard and Riker sharing a bunk which reminded me of the bunk scenes with Rimmer and Lister😄
Patrick Stuart loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.
implicaverse Not being rude or anything. It's *Stewart*. An easy mistake to make.
borgduck
And pointless to correct.
implicaverse And worth it!
borgduck
No, what would be worth it is for you to fuck yourself to hell.
implicaverse Not trying to be silly, "troll war". It's just that my name is also Stewart. I guess, since I was a child, it drove me nuts when people spelt it the other way. *Sorry*.
What's interesting is season 1 of Red Dwarf would've started and finished airing about half way through Star Trek The Next Generation's series 1 broadcast.
I'm not totally clued in on the logistics of what went into the set building or even the makeup of Red Dwarf (beyond Rimmer's iconic "H") but if they genuinely intended to parody TNG they must've done it bloody fast!
Aw, that's sad. When you hear him in interviews now, he sounds so distant, like he doesn't really know what's being asked of him.
I'm scared of getting old.
And before he had picked the phone up , he’d seen everything 👀
You wish stng was anywhere near as brilliant and unique as Red dwarf! Glad you're a fan.
What a guy.
And now I have mental images of Patrick Stewart in a leather jacket riding an alligator through the sky and shooting Nazis.
I reckon Patrick Stewart should be a guest star on the up-coming 'Red Dwarf' series X or XI
summed up in: Patrick Stewart loves it, you will too :)
I love red dwarf! It is, what i consider, a break from serious Soap Opera Space. Nothing wrong with seriousness. I just love having a good laugh about it as well :)
It's *torture* not knowing which episode he's referring to! But, I have my suspicions.
borgduck Must be "Gunmen of the Apocalypse", which is the episode we see briefly at the end there.
Andrew Chapman After watching 'A Fistfull Of Data's' that's my suspicion.
borgduck That's a point, Patrick actually directed that TNG episode.
Have you had a chance to see my video yet?
Andrew Chapman Will do, later. Got some boring crap to do, today. :)
borgduck Okay.
I first watched RD in 94. It was on daily and you could watch it right after STNG... And it was great to watch them back to back
I can understand him being caught out temporarily. The first time I saw 'The Office', and I started part way through, I was lured into thinking it was genuine documentary to start with, until at one point I thought, "Eh?? What kind of company is this??" and a couple of minutes later it dawned on me.
The two things I love, humour and science fiction mixed together. They also spoofed Alien in one episode, and I think if you look carefully, Robocop and the many "B" movies which came out in the '80s.
Patrick Stewart, the pride of Mirfield
Sir Patrick.
He better be cast if they ever make a Red Dwarf movie!
You need the comedy to remedy the ultra-seriousness that is post-TOS Star Trek.
Red Dwarf lovingly spoofs the best science fiction ever made.
Which includes parts of the overall Star Trek franchise.
Red Dwarf is also the only sci-fi spoof show that's lasted to my knowledge... most of the other spoof shows have died after one season!
That's what spending time in America will do to a person, that reflexive call to your lawyer.
wow i too a flicking channels when first saw red dwarf
And i rode away...
*☝️* *On the grass!*
"Aha, you thought I was outraged, didn't you? ACTING."
Anyone here a fan of the Orville?
Yes Sir Patrick Stweart is one of the biggest RD fans you could get when Red Dwarf night was done he was the first one to jump at the chance of being the person who introduced it and no I wouldn't call him pompous just a typical English gentleman
I think he knows when to send up his serious image.
"a typical English gentleman" he grew up working class
Come off it! How could you ever, for a moment, think that Red Dwarf was anything like Next Gen?
indeed i don't recall any parody episodes in red dwarf for him to mistake it as tng
The episode where the crew all have amnesia, and Data/Kryton is the only one who knows what happened.
I wish there had been a ST:TNG/Red Dwarf crossover episode, where the Enterprise crew initially treats the dwarfers with contempt, but gradually grows to respect them.
It wouldn't be very Star Trek of the TNG crew to treat anyone with contempt initially.
ST is still one of them many shows RD is spoofing, probs the main one. with things like rimmers (vulcan spoof) salute
I called my lawyers the first time I watched the show.
Did they enjoy it?
Probably the best comment section ive ever stumbled upon. Or im v baked.
Fox have kind of done what Patrick wishes they did with Next Generation with the Orville.
Wow, you're dead right, I'd never thought about it like that before. I think we all know the Orville isn't really a comedy though, the jokes are just Seth's way of tricking someone into paying for him to cosplay TNG
I have a feeling Patrick Stewart probably stumbled on to the show during one of Kryten's scenes and made the connection that Red Dwarf appeared to be ripping of the TNG's character, Data. From what he said following, Kryten probably made some absurd British gag (as he so often does), that would never have been allowed on TNG, and so Patrick Stewart saw that Red Dwarf was indeed something quite different.
British Gags are smart, Data would've been proud.
imagine if Avery Brooks had came upon the Queeg episode and said to himself, "that reminds me of Hawk!"
I know a further conection between Red Dwarf and Star Trek TNG. Danny John Jules and Gates McFadden both worked on the film Labyrinth. They are both also in the making of extra on the DVD, but only breifly, don't blink.
Yul Brynner had a similar reaction when watching an episode of NG.
I'd love there to be a Red Dwarf/Star Trek crossover. I think it would taken Picard less than thirty seconds to decide that the "Boys from the Dwarf" weren't Starfleet material.
Imagine Lister getting access to a replicator. He'd order enough curry to come out of his ears!
@@berniethekiwidragon4382 Imagine Cat when he learns he can have an infinite amount of fish!
@@LuxAeterna22878 Five fish? I'm gonna be rich!
(Today's fish is trout á la créme.)
*Starfleet material. The federation is the political entity, Starfleet is the closest thing it has to a military.
I think the biggest shock would be for the Enterprise to find itself three million years into the future. (Unless it is one of those episodes where the Dwarfers go back into the distant past. They tend to stay within three millennia, but the Federation falls within that period.)
It's a spoof off of all the different sci-fi shows out there...he related it to the series that he was doing...which is also the most prolific sci-fi series out there...
The thing was that Brent Spiner was 'the comedian' of the TNG crew. Only they edited out all the pranks that Brent pulled on his fellow actors because they were trying to be serious. There's a story told that when the actors first got together they were a rowdy lot with lots of humor and joking about on set. So much so that they didn't think that an acclaimed Shakespearean actor like Sir Patrick would think that they were taking the job seriously. It turned out that he enjoyed the comedic aspect of the work and bonded with his crewmates exceptionally well. I still believe that the close family relationship of the TNG actors was the reason that the show has such longevity, much as Babylon 5 and Stargate SG1 did too.
Episodes of Red Dwarf? He's seen them all. (Mild reference to Patrick Stewart in Extras)
Not Patrick Stewart, but I could definitely imagine Kirk saying "Scotty, fetch my smeg hammer..."
Kryten and Data both wish to alter their programming to become more human. I always thought that Patrick must have tuned in to a Kryten scene where this came up. Unless he is just joking about the lawyer!
Thoughts on this, good people?
Now Star Trek has a sitcom with Lower Decks and while animated...Its cannon.
I remember that on the evening that Red Dwarf premiered, I saw what was yet another SciFi based program and didn't watch because I thought it would be another rip-off. I did watch the second episode and was completely hooked. I was only sorry that I missed Norman Lovett's 'Dead Dave' speech.
Que star trek intakes! :)
@SciStarborne In the A-Z of Red Dwarf, they follow it with a scene from Gunmen of the Apocalypse. I always assumed that it was the scene Stewart was referring to, because the whole holodeck-time-travel-westerny thing was very Star Trekish. Of course, Red Dwarf handles things differently.
TNG with some humor, that's basically what the Orville is today... I wonder if he's a fan?
I loved both STNG and RD but found that RD was cleverer and parodied the whole genre. They even got the actor from Aliens to play the poor long suffering Captain.
Some of that wild ironic humor into the next generation.... Oh look the Orville!
And then came The Orville !
I never like star trek much ... but he's great as deputy director Bullock on American Dad....
WrathchildNH I love Red Dwarf, Doctor Who and Star Trek.
You legend I had the same mindset
@@AndrewChapman just the Red for me
so turns out Patrick was really a karen-type but then watched for a few more seconds and red dwarf de-karenized him 😂
Ah, well observed!
There is nobody that looks as good as cat on star trek
Worf is pretty hot
@Kinitawowi "He's doesn't want me long johns does he?"
Hasn't anyone in the universe stopped to consider the fact that he might've been *joking* about calling his lawyer? This documentary (Red Dwarf A-Z) did feature some scripted humour
Maybe he should have called his agent before making Picard and saved us all the pain.
Wow, call your lawyer is your response...
Jalad: Eyes wide open!
I would love for Patrick Stewart to play a simulant waking up, looks at himself in a mirror as he goes by, and says, "Oh, not this crap again... "
