Wouldn't surprise me if Klingons made alcohol in a traditional way especially for what they would refer to as top shelf brands. Alcohol is probably one of a handful of foodstuffs that probably still get made in traditional ways for galaxy-wide export as time won't cause spoilage and for premium products the cost of shipping is easily priced in much as how on Earth today a French champagne or a single-malt Scotch command premium prices and are shipped worldwide.

I love how they manage to shoehorn every Irish stereotype into one episode. It's been a long time since I've seen it so I forget if the colonists try to grow potatoes in the cargo bay. Still one of the best standalone episodes of TNG!
And there's the difference. You see the stereotypes and find it a chuckle. Anything darker than a blinding-white irish complexion and this would be considered "offensive."
As long as the fans understand what the writers were thinking and get a connection to the canon. Yeah, it's fun. But when the chairmen demanded what the writers make, oh boy, those jerks are so backwards in culture-view it REALLY hurts!
I'm irish and I don't have any problem with the episode. Or any comedy sketch that portrays us as red haired, potato eating drunks. You have to have a sense of humour. Especially these days. I can tell the difference between a joke and a malicious attack disguised as one. I can't stand the whole trend of judging things of the past by today's standards. It will only be a matter of time before episodes like this will be removed from streaming and re runs. It's why I still get physical media. Games and movies/TV shows. Already they've taken episodes of Little Britain, 30 Rock, It's Always Sunny etc and went after the character of Papa Lazarou in League Of Gentlemen... It's ridiculous. I get that Colm Meany (if you havnt yet, watch the film The Van, utterly hilarious... Its part of a loose trilogy of adaptations of books by Roddy Doyle, the others are The Snapper and the AMAZING The Commitments) doesn't like this but I think he's being a bit too sensitive. There's no venom in this episode towards Irish people.
"And I'm sure there's something you can be doing with your time." When the guy with the green hat exited the frame, for some reason I thought: "Like finding me Lucky Charms."

@@garyenwards1608 There is a TNG blooper I've been trying to re-find that is one of the funniest I have ever seen. I think it was from season 7. It's where Riker and Geordi are in Dr. Noonian Soong's lab and Soong is on the floor. Riker goes to say something and I guess Brent Spiner as Soong does or says something that we can't see or hear and Jonathan Frakes falls backwards in hysterics with the most contagious laugh of all time. I died laughing every time I watched it but I have never been able to locate it again. I guess it was removed from RUclips.
Lmao he acted super unsurprised at the drink too and sighs prepared to be disappointed like "Ooohh this one's smoking ay? That's some fancy future water you got there"
Vikings not so much....they pretty much only fought defenseless or weak peoples. No matter their battle prowess Worf would just see them as cowards with no honor. Spartans on the other hand aren't picking on anyone they just have a 0 fvcks given policy to whoever attacks and much like the Klingons they honor their women and see giving birth as one of the most glorious/hard battles (Yes battles) a warrior could face. Worf would love it.
(In context of the story): Whoever married THAT Irish-style spitfire would have an interesting life. Peaceful? Perhaps not. Interesting? Certainly. But given her later scenes with Riker, Loved? Most definitely.
As a former security guard and a long time babysitter, I can confirm for her that there's a lot less difference than you'd think. The biggest difference is the trouble makers are bigger.
I think I now have a crush of that fine and firey Irish lass! Man I with I could remember more about this episode I saw it probably well over 20 years ago but I do remember their delightful Irish brogue.

@@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER It’s nothing about wokeness. I mean, the writers had to be on something to even come up with such an absurd idea. I’ve never liked this episode even since I first saw it in the 90s. You can’t tell me that this is peak Trek.

If she wasn't going to have three Mariposan husbands (one of each type of cloned male), and leave the Bringloidi, she might have indeed joined the Starfleet Marine Corps.
You know Klingon liquor is strong when even an Irishman is nearly knocked off his feet by it. And I say that as someone with Irish blood flowing through my veins.
This is one of my favorite scenes from The Next Generation because of the way Brenna knocked the wind out of Worf's sails with the babysitting comment! The episode is "Up The Long Ladder".
@@bennydojo I went to Ireland and mentioned Darby O' Gill. The Irish lads cringed and told me it was the Irish equivalent of Blazing Saddles. To which I replied, "Sooo... It's comedic, but otherwise entirely accurate?"
One of the reviewers of this episode gave it a terrible rating until he went to rural Ireland and said he was too harsh on it saying "stereotypes exist for a reason"
When I saw this scene for the first time (and the 2nd and 3rd), I was on the floor having a full body stroke from laughing so hard. One of those times when you're laughing so hard you're in pain, and you think you're about to die. 😂 It was him gasping out "Hello my darling", and his crossed eyes that sent me completely over the edge each time, lol. That is the funniest scene in all of TNG. And maybe in all of Star Trek. And it's all the more amazing that it is seemingly almost forgotten.
Worf: "Madam, have you ever considered a career in security?" She: "If it's anything like babysitting, I'm an authority!" Worf: "It is. I'll have an application sent to you immediately!"
Maybe I'm being too generous, but that line, "...have you ever considered a career in security?" has got to be one of the better diplomatic phrasings of an insult I've heard.
So everyone on Earth adapted and evolved with the times but my own beloved Irish? I'll drink to that! Space sucks without Guinness and Jameson! Thankfully I don't know what planet I'm on but it must be good because the bog is deep, dark and green
I think this ep. Was about a group of colonists that got separated. The other group got all the technology, so this group had to make do with traditional means. I'm not sure why they're Irish, though. The other group isn't.
I heard alcohol is allowed on British warships. It is a sign of respect to the sailors if they are trusted with very expensive equipment, they should reward with at least something to drink. However, they are only allowed to drink when the ship is in port, but not when they are on duty.
The other group sounded American. Maybe that was the point since a lot of the useful inventions an innovations, ex, computer technology like microprocessor, think of it as our era's version of isolinear chips, came from the United States. However, technological group also lost the ability to procreate naturally. So, they have to rely on cloning. They are also dying since they are running out of new genetic matters. I think the main point is technological advances is not the end all to solve all your problems.
The look on Worf's face when he ordered "Yeah, this'll fuck him up." 2 swigs and he's tipsy.

Spartans on the other hand aren't picking on anyone they just have a 0 fvcks given policy to whoever attacks and much like the Klingons they honor their women and see giving birth as one of the most glorious/hard battles (Yes battles) a warrior could face.
Worf would love it.
How do you know that he didn't?
@@mistermonologue2442 What an interesting an incorrect view on Vikings and Spartans.
It's hilarious how his eyes roll around after he takes his first drink of Worf's whiskey.
have you considered a career in security?
Woman: And as for you!
Worf: What?!
Yeah that’s a typical response from Worf
the moment he said "Hello my darling!" in such a rasping tone was just hilarious.
"If it's anything like babysitting I'm an authority!"
--- Every mother on planet Earth
It very much is like babysitting. It's actually a nice change working an industrial site where I don't babysit impaired adults.
I love how Worf expected to get the last word with her on this. She didn't even bat an eye. 😄
Pretty much Bill Burr's roasting of moms is my response to that.
If only...
Brings to mind a t-shirt I saw a few years back... "You can't scare me, I was raised by an Irish mother!"
One of my favourite scenes in Star Trek.
Season 2 is really, really undervalued. Also, for my entire life, this woman set a standard. She is absolutely stunning.
Rosalyn Landor is a magnificent woman!
she barley looks real, in a great way
She's also a spitfire who can go toe to toe with Worf.
(In context of the story): Whoever married THAT Irish-style spitfire would have an interesting life. Peaceful? Perhaps not. Interesting? Certainly. But given her later scenes with Riker, Loved? Most definitely.
Make her eat a piece of chicken 🐔
Seriously though, the way the guy's eyes go crossed after he drinks... 😂
When a Klingon offers you a drink, its a good day for your liver to die.
"It has no bite."
"Perhaps you need a warrior's drink. Computer: prune juice."
That look worf gave dude when he said it has no bite and worf ordered the other drink was the equivalent of hold my beer. We all know what that means.
As a former security guard and a long time babysitter, I can confirm for her that there's a lot less difference than you'd think. The biggest difference is the trouble makers are bigger.
I think I now have a crush of that fine and firey Irish lass! Man I with I could remember more about this episode I saw it probably well over 20 years ago but I do remember their delightful Irish brogue.
ive had one for the last 30 years or so. seeing her now again just reminds me why.
Worf's brain: "Geez this woman is a pain in the ass"
Worf: "You want a job?"
This is in my top five favorite TNG scenes. One sip of that Klingon concoction and he’s plastered! 😂
Notice that for simplicity in this scene, the computer doesn't ask what kind of whiskey, as it normally ought to.
Worf: "As a Klingon, I understand your need for something that could kill you to be considered a satisfying beverage."
Like prune juice
When he samples the first glass of whiskey, he does a perfect mimic of Cyrano Jones in The Trouble With Tribbles.
I can't help but laugh as he's wheezing out to her.
That would soon come.
This is my fave part on this ep!!!! Hello me darlin' lol. And that big coil hahaha!
This scene is one of the TNG best, haha.
This scene along with the gorgeous Rosalyn Landor guest starring made this one of my favorite episodes!
My fav is Worf here really seems to like these people. It's so adorable.
This is one of worst and yet best episodes of early TNG. Love it
This is such a perfectly written and perfectly cast and perfectly acted scene!!
And such a terrible episode
@@bmaze35640 😂 What a Woketarded viewpoint. This is one of the best TNG episodes. Specifically, BECAUSE of the hilarious and beloved Irish stereotypes.
The real Irish have a great sense of humor. And they are loved for it.
You're either not Irish, or have replaced any Irishness with Woketarded BS.
@@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER It’s nothing about wokeness. I mean, the writers had to be on something to even come up with such an absurd idea. I’ve never liked this episode even since I first saw it in the 90s. You can’t tell me that this is peak Trek.
@@bmaze35640 It is either Woketardedness, or else you truly don't know anything about the humorous, and harmless, Irish stereotypes of yesteryear. Or you have zero sense of humor. Or some combination of two or more of the above.
If you had the knowledge that the clever writers did, you would understand that there is nothing "absurd" about this hilarious episode.
@@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER How does someone who has a differing opinion be guilty of being woke-whatever you call it? I just don’t agree that this is a good episode at all. It has some funny moments, but it’s not good to me
"Prune Juice. Cold."
And may God have mercy on their souls
This has got to be one my most favorite episodes, this scene in particular was so funny.
"Never drink any drink that smoulders, never drink any dring that comes in layers, never drink any drink that changes color when you add the last ingredient, and never drink any drink that comes with a little paper umbrella in it."
-Discworld, "The Hogfather"
1:32 that was the look I made when a Turkish bartender in Germany challenged me to take shot of Turkish whiskey.
She'd give Worf a run for his money at keeping people in line 🤣
If she wasn't going to have three Mariposan husbands (one of each type of cloned male), and leave the Bringloidi, she might have indeed joined the Starfleet Marine Corps.
Lady: sasses Worf
Worf: would you like a job
I love that it's bubbling with mysterious vapours.
Nice touch
I wonder what the nose on Klingon Bloodwine is like...
@@AlyssMa7rin
Hot Lips Houlihan: This isn't champagne! Champagne tickles my nose!
Hawkeye Pierce: ... This eats it away.
I always liked how she roasted Worf, and he makes a hasty retreat.
its a shame we never see brenna again. it would have been hilarious seeing someone like duras try to play his games on her lol
The "hello my darling" is what did me in. And ive been in my grave ded ever since
Even the Irish can tell the difference.
Worf sees the still and just KNOWS what is going on.
You know Klingon liquor is strong when even an Irishman is nearly knocked off his feet by it. And I say that as someone with Irish blood flowing through my veins.
As a fellow descendant of good Irish stock, it looked like the poor guy was suffering from too much blood in his alcohol system 😆
@@jezmerritt the moral here is if it’s Klingon and it’s smoking it’s going to pack a wallop
_Chech'tluth_ when translated from Klingon to English means: _"Bold Drink"_
@@0hvist So Klingon whiskey then?
Oh, how I miss the days when videos were closed captioned.
1:32 lol my favorite part.
I like their foot washing technique.
This is one of my favorite scenes from The Next Generation because of the way Brenna knocked the wind out of Worf's sails with the babysitting comment!
The episode is "Up The Long Ladder".
I love the Irish lady cutting the Klingon to size with efficiency!!! My Momma!!!
One episode that is so bad that it’s actually good. Every single Irish stereotype I could think of crammed into 45 minutes😂
🤣🤣
@@bennydojo
I went to Ireland and mentioned Darby O' Gill. The Irish lads cringed and told me it was the Irish equivalent of Blazing Saddles.
To which I replied, "Sooo... It's comedic, but otherwise entirely accurate?"
@@1krani and you survived? You're either lying, or they weren't true Irishmen
@@AzguardMike
They were too surprised by the American attitude towards Blazing Saddles.
Haven’t seen this episode since I was a kid. When I rewatched it last year my jaw was on the ground 😂 *WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???*
1:57 And then she drinks chech'tluth and says "water" without batting an eyelid.
Costume department: they need to be Irish, so a cable knit sweater… but they’re space Irish so… *chops off the bottom of the sweater*
One of the reviewers of this episode gave it a terrible rating until he went to rural Ireland and said he was too harsh on it saying "stereotypes exist for a reason"
When I saw this scene for the first time (and the 2nd and 3rd), I was on the floor having a full body stroke from laughing so hard. One of those times when you're laughing so hard you're in pain, and you think you're about to die. 😂
It was him gasping out "Hello my darling", and his crossed eyes that sent me completely over the edge each time, lol.
That is the funniest scene in all of TNG. And maybe in all of Star Trek. And it's all the more amazing that it is seemingly almost forgotten.
Excellent. You provide a perfect illustration of O'Dell's point about pleasure and pain.
This scene is absolute garbage.
@@FureyinHD This scene is absolute gold. You are absolute garbage. FIFY!
Which episode was this
@@taraelizabethdensley9475 "Up The Long Ladder" is, I think, the name of it.
Ah yes, the one time in history, especially within a favorite show of mine in which a character actually has my name!
Worf truly learned what it is to Cross Swords with an Irishwoman..!
Worf: "Madam, have you ever considered a career in security?"
She: "If it's anything like babysitting, I'm an authority!"
Worf: "It is. I'll have an application sent to you immediately!"
Worf should have proposed right there.
"It is a fine day to die."
Maybe I'm being too generous, but that line, "...have you ever considered a career in security?" has got to be one of the better diplomatic phrasings of an insult I've heard.
God, I love these people. XD
This is one of my favorite episodes, and this is a terrific scene.
People give this episode crap I love this Woman
Make her eat a piece of chicken 🐔
1:30 try some Wray & Nephew Overproof Rum straight, you might look like that for a week.
Despite the corn and stereotypes, so utterly charming in the Star Trek manner, and well acted by the guest stars.
The way he daintily sticks his pinky up was a funny contrast
So everyone on Earth adapted and evolved with the times but my own beloved Irish? I'll drink to that! Space sucks without Guinness and Jameson! Thankfully I don't know what planet I'm on but it must be good because the bog is deep, dark and green
I think this ep. Was about a group of colonists that got separated. The other group got all the technology, so this group had to make do with traditional means. I'm not sure why they're Irish, though. The other group isn't.
@@cgraham6 I know why! Every show is better with cartoons and the Irish are more colorful than flesh and blood
I heard alcohol is allowed on British warships. It is a sign of respect to the sailors if they are trusted with very expensive equipment, they should reward with at least something to drink. However, they are only allowed to drink when the ship is in port, but not when they are on duty.
The other group sounded American. Maybe that was the point since a lot of the useful inventions an innovations, ex, computer technology like microprocessor, think of it as our era's version of isolinear chips, came from the United States. However, technological group also lost the ability to procreate naturally. So, they have to rely on cloning. They are also dying since they are running out of new genetic matters. I think the main point is technological advances is not the end all to solve all your problems.
This episode had such fun moments and this video encapsulates the top
So.... "Yes Dear!" is alive and well in the future.... 😍😲
chech'tluth
chechtlhutlh: type of liquor (n) [From "Up the Long Ladder" (TNG). Canonized in Klingon for the Galactic Traveller.]
For some reason this episode gives me feelings of a mix of TOS and TNG.
Star Trek TNG does 'Ulysses.'
I'm surprised Worf didn't growel at her and try to start a mating ritual.
Now that's what I call a wee drop of the creature, lol
1:40 When perfection walks in.
1:14 I feel the same way about bourbon when it’s below 90 proof
100 or above my friend ❤😂
1:22 I LOVE the look on Worf's face because he knew it was going to kick the shit out of that smug dude lol
I need some of the Klingon brew!
I like that Worf took a moment to hit on her... in his way.
