You cut out just before one of the best lines of the episode was said: "Well, after careful examination, I can conclude that he's dead." "Thank you, doctor Nog."
Not sure about depressions but one of the things Quark points out numerous times is that the Ferengi have never had the same level of wars and atrocities that humans had. And when they time travel back to the 1950s Quark is absolutely horrified that humans would set off atomic bombs on their own planet.

Jeffery Combs is such a talented actor. He played a Ferengi Andorian Vorta and a few other star trek guest stars. Each one is unique and fully realized. Great job Jeff. He wad also hilarious in Reanimator.
When this episode began, I was like (as much as I loved the Ferengi) "Come on! Another Ferengi episode!?" But by the end, I was in love. DS9 = the best of Star Trek
Yeah he was good as Brunt but Weyoun was him at his best. Wish they could have filmed the proposed scene where Jeffery Combs played Brunt, Weyoun and that third DS9 alien he did all meeting one another.
That is correct. It is all about profit. But most ignore that while Latinum and monetary profit is the 'main' profit, Ferengi philosophy acknowledges that anything desired to be attained, once attained, is profit. Peace is a profit. Love is a profit. Friendship, self-respect, happiness, joy in life, good company, the respect of peers and friends, sense of duty fulfilled, sense of honor fulfilled, sense of morality appeased, all of it, everything a Ferengi could ever want out of life, everything ANYONE wants out of life, is a profit to be acquired. And they are out to maximize profit.
I love how, despite making an insane amount of money; 20 bars, they still kill him over NOTHING, thinking they'll get 50 bars. "Let's do it! 50 bars (minus my finders fee)" Even then that one Ferengi, idk his name, is still trying to profit off the others.
@@hardwirecars Brunt was the ex-FCA that said for equal shares of 50 bars. Quark agreed equal shares of 50 bars minus his usual finders fee(for recruiting them to the job).
They picked on Gayla a lot in the writing to make the mistakes. He notably fell asleep and shot Kevaun. Also, does he have the worst proposal out of the bunch? Surrender.
Everyone knows Bajorans were meant to be the Space Jews and Cardassians the Space Nazis. Ferengi are the Space Gnomes. Mischievous, greedy, but bound by contract and some very alien Codex and not at all warlike or bloodthirsty.
So hard to believe it's Jeffrey Combs playing Liquidator Brunt. You would not know unless you knew. You can totally tell it's him as Weyoun and Shran, but not Brunt.
Ferengi makeup, like Klingon makeup, is much more detailed than Andorian and Vorta. The actor's face is hidden better under prosthetics than just a paint job.
It all came down to the price. If you didn't profit on the wars then you'd make peace. It was also a very good way to get soldiers, half a bar of latinum for each enemy soldier killed although there is no such thing as a Ferengi with a life insurance. So it was truly comical.
a true ferengi, after shooting him, would have said "damnit, I'm certain to be upside down on this one.. *checks the corpses pockets and shoes for valuables* rats.. not even 4 strips worth.."
I love ferengies...... ds9 did great to explore other spicies... klingons, cardassians, bajorans and more others... but ferengi episodes always bring smile to my face

@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants they actually never said his real name; it was overshadowed by the sound of the school bell. Fez is what they called him for short
This episode is called "The Magnificent Ferengi" in the 6th season, and it was absolutely hilarious. The episode where Quark, Nog, Rom and Otto go back in time on Earth was great, too.
There are about 20 episodes that are direct rip offs of classic films. Like: Brigadoon; The treasure of the Sierra Madre; Cool Hand Luke; The Defiant ones; The Man in the glass booth etc. You can’t keep a good story down.
I loved the one episode when one of the characters was talking about how all the ferengi cared about were profit. Quark put him in his place when he said at least their race didn't have as dark of a past as the human race with slavery. Even though it's a show I was like, damn quark just made a really valid and ugly point about us humans.
Difference is, the Ferengi treat their woman like a Saudi Arabian Nation, have slavers (of other species, but shush shush), and view the poor as literally not human (or Ferangi in this instance). According to one of the Rules of Acquisition, which is basically their version of sacred rules, "A Ferangi with no profit, is no Ferangi at all." Yes, really "better" than humans. Say what you will about us humans, most of what we do is either for one of three things. Pleasure, Family, Honor (or Morality). The worst deeds are usually done in the name of Honor (or morality).
^ Errr nope. Quark berates Sisko for humanity having enslaved each other on mass in the past, a notion alien to Ferengi, alongwith willingly buying poisonous narcotics for recreational use. (Ferengi after all are greedy, not suicidal or stupid) The Ferengi have quite a complex system of liability and rules over the offspring's responsibility to care and provide for their "moogee", should her husband die. Saudi Arabia doesn't have that.
I saw this on rerun and I thought it was the best episode of DS9. The ferrangi are always battling for respect and now they are about to get it by pulling this off.
I don’t even watch Star Trek, and I suddenly went down a rabit hole of ferengi clips.

A moment when even Quark an Brunt can put aside their differences in the name of their common bond as Ferengi.
-in order to swindle somebody else.
Well, a contract is a contract is a contract. But ONLY between Ferengi.
Jeffery Combs is such a talented actor. He played a Ferengi Andorian Vorta and a few other star trek guest stars. Each one is unique and fully realized. Great job Jeff. He wad also hilarious in Reanimator.

Ah, a fellow man of culture I see. Reanimator was great.
Loved him as Ratchet .Best version of the old uncle who complains but ends up loving those in his care .
he also played in a movie called the frighteners with michael j fox
Brunt's most manliest of screems had me in stitches
"It always comes down to profit with you people."
"What do you mean, you people?"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU PEOPLE??"
Unfortunately because of stng racism Ferengi are based on Jewish people always thinking about profit and the big ears.
1:12 Best goofy scream in sci-fi history.

Jeffrey Combs, who knew he could scream like that at 1:12?

Appropriate last words.
Appropriate fate too, as The Sisko was previously tempted to just shoot Keevan.
To be honest Ferengi spend so much time plotting and scheming to rip others off, they shouldn't be surprised that it happens to themselves!!
Ok, now I'm curious about Ferengi History.
What were their world wars and depression eras like?
Probably Comical.
It all came down to the price. If you didn't profit on the wars then you'd make peace. It was also a very good way to get soldiers, half a bar of latinum for each enemy soldier killed although there is no such thing as a Ferengi with a life insurance. So it was truly comical.
It was established in canon that Ferenginar did not have the same level of barbarism as Earth.
Ferengi episodes were the BEST!
"You idiot", greed always has a price and so are lies.
That and the looks of horror on all their faces just before that line.
That should be one of the Rules of Acquisition.
I remember when they were first introduced on STNG - they were introduced as 'morons in outer space' (not the only ones to be so portrayed).
