If we mean individual jokes I thought the one at the end of the field of fire review with Ezri pleading her case was funny.

I think this one's my favorite long-form gag.

Necro I thought it was established that you're not allowed outside of the News forum.

Parody Janeway to the remainder of Ransom's crew, "One of you will be in charge of juggling live cobras. The rest of you ... won't be so lucky."

Second favorite from 'Course Oblivion'
"Neelix is to medicine what The Three Stooges . . . are to medicine."

If we're including "mean-spirited" jokes, then my favorite would be...

"I personally like to pretend that one of the smugglers on board is Okona. It makes me smile just thinking about it."

Definitely his scientific explanation of religion in Sacred Ground. I myself often joked about god being an alien explaining complex scientific theories which were translated into caveman.

I used Adam's DNA to make Eve.

So you mean the bones?

XD

My favorite is the Flowers for Algernon/Specterman bait-and-switch in TNG's The Nth Degree. It was the combination of how completely unexpected it was, and Chuck's matter-of-fact delivery.

"The episode is no doubt drawing on the classic science fiction tragedy I'm sure you're all familiar with. The story of a retarded man who underwent an experimental procedure to improve his intelligence, and thus became a genius, then reaches its tragic end when he transforms into a giant brain monster and must be defeated by an enormous martial arts alien robot as told in the classic Specterman two-parter, Bobby Don't Be a Monster, and Genius Monster Norman."

Dunno if this counts as a joke, but another favorite is, well... "Well, that's enough of this whole interrogation thing. Time for Seska and her big, scary needle." It's said so seriously, I laugh every time.

I'm trying to recall where one of my favorite "jokes" (if you could call it that) is from. He's talking about the difference between saying something that's nonsense and saying something that's stupid in science-fiction, making a montage contrasting one to the other:

Nonsense: reversing the polarity of the neutron flow.
Stupid: DNA traveling via lightning strike.

Anyone recall that?
