Picard's Funniest Moments

- Picard's (Patrick Stewart) funniest moments in Star Trek The Next Generation. Picard is a sober character to begin with so don't expect to be ROFL. These are select moments when Picard engages in some levity. Unsurprisingly there there are only 17 moments I found out of 7832 minutes across 178 episodes. Picard is funny for approximately 0.08% of the series. If you think I missed a moment that should be included let me know in the comments below (hint: I can think of two).
**Update: Thanks to all the commenters and their suggestions below Picard's Funniest Moments Part 2 is now available:

Incredible that neither compilation has Picard on Dating Advice when Data asks
I'm getting the sense that Patrick Stewart thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to recite Shakespeare on the set.
Getting back to the roots of his acting career. There was also the scene in The Undiscovered Country where the Klingon general (Christopher Plummer) recites from Julius Caesar. "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war."
He has done Shakesphere in the past in theater.
Josh B, I'm well aware of Stewart's work with the Royal Shakespeare Company. In fact, it was his common lament, usually during scenes where they were depicting attacks on the Enterprise, "Sixteen years with the Royal Shakespeare Company for this!" So, it's apparent his enjoyment where he could recite Shakespearean monologues during his role as Captain Picard. I'm sure the writers did what they could to add these literary elements for his sake whenever they could.
Well what else do you do when you've got "Shakespearian actor Patrick Stewart at your disposal than give him a bit of Shakespeare to recite like he's back in the old day job. (poor guy , and just when he thought he was diversifying.
I loved Patrick Stewart reciting Shakespeare, but I also liked the glimpses of Riker looking to his right like "is he serious?"
2:45
“Where filming the scene where Picard, Riker and Worf investigate the fire in the cargo bay set by the Irish people, Patrick Stewart found the dialogue so hilarious, he started laughing, and forced himself to turn his back to the camera. When Jonathan Frakes approached him in-character as Riker, Stewart, still laughing, turned around and improvised the line about bowing to the absurd.”
Patrick Stewart you are a rare breed of awesome
Agreed.
If this is true then i'm glad the director kept it in :) I always love it when a real and un-planned moment makes it into the final episode or movie. I always love this side of actors and their profession.
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 so true…. It’s such a brilliant and completely unexpected moment!!!
I always thought that he was laughing for real in this scene but didnt have it confirmed. I'm so happy this stayed in
The Space-Irish episode, it does kinda bother me a bit. And in season 1 or season 2 there is an episode that mixes-up Black folks with “Space Arabians,” and *that* one is problematic and difficult to watch also. {Forgive my understatement ? It’s super racist, and seems to ignore the anti-racist message of TOS’s “left half white, right side black” aliens…}. Anyhow, in that early TNG episode, Tasha is supposed to be somebody’s {Lü-Tahn ‘s ? } new favourite wife (against her will). Imma check if Colm Meaney is onscreen in the “Space Irish” episode, because he put his foot down regarding that sort of nonsense later in Deep Space Nine {when some new aliens take on the forms of imaginary and historical figures on the station, the Rumple-Stilskin they found with Molly *had* been written to be a leprechaun, and legend has it that Colm Meaney was like: “have you writers NOT yet learned your lesson ? Do I have to quit over this ? If you people think you’re gonna press your ONE Irish cast member into doing a leprechaun episode… if I need to explain to you what’s wrong with that… “ (I wonder if his visual aid in teaching would be a single American finger straight up, or if it’d be the back of the hand with index + middle finger both extended up like many folks do overseas… {I wonder if that’s exclusively an English thing, in which case Colm might not choose that… } “Mr. Meaney, I need some Irish culture education 👋” But yah, you’re not supposed to turn the person you’re offending into your ethnicity-sensitivity-training person. That’s kind of a “double dis.” People who are already life-long tired of the oversimplified preconceived notions about how their ethnicity or skin color exists in the minds and affects the behaviours of others…. You’ve JUST pissed that person off, or at the very least annoyed them. That “othered” person is highly likely not to have that Jesus of Nazareth or Rev. Dr. MLK Jr. kindness-and-loving teaching modality going on (at least in that moment).
I love how Sir Patrick Stewart always manages to deliver his lines with conviction, even when it's ridiculous-sounding nonsense where it seems like the writer's cat walked across the keyboard and they decided to keep it for some reason.
That's a seasoned professional actor for you!
It's an actual language and he perfected it!
he does that with resounding grace on american dad. after half a century in show business, he can do whatever he wants
@@NewPaulActs17 agreed
I see you too watched the honest trailer
"Morning darling."
Q being an absolute troll
Enderman_of_D00M as someone who hasn’t seen a single episode of that show (yet), I’m absolutely confused by this scene tbh. But also utterly intrigued
I ADORE Q, he is irritating, exasperating, egotistical, but so verrrrrry charming in his mischievous way ! So overtly theatrical and dramatic, extremely handsome in my opinion, and still when his interference becomes clear he always seems to teach some quite valuable lessons ! LOVE HIMMMMMM ❤️❤️❤️
I hate and like Q at the same time
@@susieok2732 I seriously do hope that the actor reprises his role as Q in the Picard series!
Q is hilarious but also lets a lot of people die
"my mother is onboard"
*cautiously exits turbolift*
the most dreaded words on Enterprise-D
👏😂
Jean Luc!!!
Shit!
It's definitely like you don't need to explain anything further, when her mother is onboard, you don't need to go into any details.
Oh crap she's here!
I’ll never forget the moment that he slips and calls Mr. Broccoli Mr. Broccoli.
Barclay...
Not broccoli...
Menaceblue3 nah, it’s broccoli ;)
@@Menaceblue3 The joke flew over your head at warp 9
One of my favorite lines EVER!!!🤣🤣
It was such a properly pronounced "brocc-ol-i" I have never ever heard it said with such distinction. LOL
Based on interviews, Patrick Stewart was actually an overly serious jerk the first couple of shoots. Then, the rest of the cast and crew taught him to just have fun.
After that, they all just had a blast all the time. In fact, there was a game where the cast would try to make each other laugh right before they started shooting. Apparently Brent Spiner (Data) was almost always the winner.
Watching some of the Star trek Conventions, I agree. Patrick definetly "Loosened up" and the the full cast had a great time after he grew a sense of humor!!
I wouldn't say that means he's a jerk.
Okay, "Picard on Love 2" is genius. Patrick Stewart, one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of our time, playing a character overdramatically delivering Shakespeare is just GOLD.
They really had the man play himself, how savage
The sequence where he's trying to sleep on the Klingon ship during " unification " and Data is stood in the corner.
it was really awkward
Loved it lol
Yeh what about it?
"A Darmok & Jalad production"
"Produced by Temba, his directors chair up straight"
Brilliant.
You sir, are a true Trekker for the ages. I salute you!
Lol so good 👍🏻👍🏻😂
His eyes wide... in winter. Shaka, when coffee fell
Shut up, Wesley! A true gem.
I think the choir knows that...
Neldidellavittoria gotta rewind a couple times for the delivery of that line, let alone the wonderfull content it conveys
Neldidellavittoria *Picard Makes it So*
"You sat in my chair"
“YOU’LL GET NOTHING AND LIKE!!!..(delay, Picard jumps at Wesley bites a chunk outta his cheek)”
That "Warp 9" at the end of that speech was just the most perfect geek joke ever, my love for the show went way up when I first heard it back in the day
Every time they make Picard a horrible actor it makes me smile because you know that it was Stewart’s idea
They went into SO much more depth with him than Kirk. The man's a well spring. You can get tons from him. Wisdom, Memes, Hilarity, Inspiration. Patrick is full of the stuff.
Because Patrick Stewart was an accomplished actor. William Shatner couldn't act until years after Star Trek ended for him.
Patrick Stewart is one of my all time Heroes ! Yes, I'm hijacking most comments on this video, but this is a great video of one of my favourite fictional characters of all time and my most admired heroes so I shall engage comments at warp nine 😂
@@susieok2732 Shut up, Susie!
Jk ;)
@panda44r 🤣🤣
panda44r
Maybe not all Shatner can be the producers and directors asking for that. I don’t recall his pauses being so dramatic in westerns and TJ Hooker.
Data trying to look underneath Picard's facepalm during the Lal argument is a really good touch
Data was 100% right that parenting is about creating a new life lol. Picard didn't understand because he never had children of his own.
"My mother is on board"
*Cautiously looks out of the turbolift before moving*
XD
One of the funniest moments in one of the saddest episodes :(
His delivery of "....yes, indeed." Nearly teared me up.
Which episode was it?
Jean Luc!!
Shit!!!!
@@prince-solomon The one where Lwaxana falls in love with the scientist who had to kill himself because he got too old
"Half a Life", season 4, episode 22, with David Ogden Stiers from MASH (Major Charles Emerson Winchester the Third :P)
It takes a great actor to deliberately do visibly bad acting, and Stewart doing Picard painfully pretending to be in love with Lwakana is an example
"I insist you return to my side immediately" is just such a perplexingly weird and awkward statement I have a meltdown every time I see this episode lol
With a lot of help from Shakespeare!
3:53 I like how patrick stewart is acting like he's acting badly
Which is actually harder than acting good.
Troi's Mum - She once said to the ships computer "I might as well talk to myself"
She is!
Lmfao
I thought that was hilarious when she was ordering food, and asking "computer..." I could not stop laughing. That joke would never get old. BARRETT actress was in original series now in TNG and voice of computer. She really does get around huh.
@@beverlyanne5699 Ah, we miss her dearly.
Omg!
"Mister Crusher. Set course for Betazed! (Warp nine.)"
I bet he prefered warp 10 :D
Would not have been fast enough either XD If there was a way for instant transportation, he would have done that.
I remember when I watched that scene with my mother. She quipped: "Home, James." (Her own mother is from England; therefore she understands British dry humour only too well).
"I'll be down in Engineering, helping them shovel the coal."
*Picard:* Mister Crusher. Set course for Betazed! Warp ten.
*Crusher:* But, sir, that speed is impossible.
*Picard:* _(death glare)_
*Crusher:* I'll make it so...
The greatest Star Trek captain there ever was and ever will be.
Does that include Captain...
One of the greatest :)
Also the best actor of the lot, if you ask me
Di0 besides porthos on john archers ship. Hes the best actor of all star trek.
I don't believe You remember a certain....
James T Kirk...
Q's "morning, darling" had me in stitches at 6:59!
I know it's a Picard montage, but Worf's delivery after they waved is PRICELESS.
I like the obvious character growth you see when he interacts with kids. He goes from just tolerating them to flat up warming up to them.
Picard invented the double facepalm!
Gotta love Data's reaction as well :D
Patrick Stewart has a surprisingly cheeky smile and his laugh is absolutely charming
"Sometimes, you just have to....bow to the absurd!"
Wise words.
That awkward nervous laugh at the begging where bev is hitting on him always cracks me up :D
sir it's q!!!
oh that annoyance
sir the borg
uh huh whatever
sit luwaxanna troi is on board
*sound of running away*
If the starship was a building with an open window you could just picture him running out of the window never to be heard from again.
paulreg
Red alert
*meanwhile in Picard’s dreams*
Redshirt: We’re in position to beam up Lwaxana, captain.
Picard: Computer, set auto-destruct. All hands, abandon ship.
Redshirt: Sir?!?
Picard: You heard me. Abandon ship!
Redshirt: *somehow dies*
Lwaxana Troi is the only being in the universe that can send Picard running for the hills.
s07e22 "Bloodlines" right around the 36.5 minute mark, while discussing the nature of father-son relationships with his progeny, picard says "Like it or not, I'm your father. I don't know what that means. I know it means something. There is some connection. But one thing is clear: you'll never look at your hairline again in the same way"
That was one of the funniest too.
20oztsunami " you'll never look at your hairline again in the same way""
Sure, because I'm sure baldness hasn't been cured by the 24th fucking century, to the point that nobody would care about it. Please.
I hope we will rid ourselves of the idea that baldness is something that needs a cure before we invent a cure.
Sure, because the 24th century humans portrayed in Star Trek are petty as fuck to the point of thinking baldness is a disease that needs to be cured. Please.
niizzy a
It's easy to call it petty when it's an affliction you don't suffer yourself isn't it?
You missed the funniest moment of all, when Picard walks into 10 Foward and waves to all the crew like he's the king.
I think you are referring to the episode Allegiance. I thought about including that scene, but admittedly being really nerdy (read: technical) about it, that wasn't actually Picard and instead an alien posing as Picard so I didn't include it. ua-cam.com/video/T7Vadzjac6g/v-deo.html
Yes, I think you're being too technical. It was an alien in control, but it was Picard's body performing the action. What makes it funny is imagining what the crew is thinking when they see Picard doing that.
I remember that one. He goes in and start singing a bar song and gets everyone else to join in. The exact opposite of what the real picard would do. In this case, would never do.
@@trevorlambert4226: No, Picard was stuck in a prison with two other men as a lab experiment.
Come cheer up my lads, ‘tis today glory we steer
"Counselor Diana Troy's personal log log stardate 44805.3 My mother is on board."
Oh crap!
Triple wammy when counselor Troi's mother is on board......Arghhhhh .poor Captain just can't get away from that Betazed.........I feel for him.
Mauve alert... my mother is aboard.
Picard: "Warp 9...."
Wesley: "Sir, that speed is not advised."
Picard: "Well, you're right...make it Warp 9,5"
Which part of this video compilation was that? I mean can you give me the time stamp?
I'm sure there was a moment at the end of an episode where Picard ordered Riker be put in the brig as a joke and Data took him seriously. More of a Data gag reel perhaps.
David Mitchell Yeah, and did I miss Picard and Data sharing quarters on the Klingon ship? Props to Spiner for that.
I think Q actually grew as a person with time. He is arrogant because of his power, but he also gained decency and compassion with time. I guess Captain Picard brings out the good in all of us.
4:40 I've seen that episode before but I never realized that's where the meme came from 😂
A meme was born.
or two
Is it *The Loss* ? :P
Not even Capt. Piccard can resist a derpy smiley face.
(Picard and Crusher flirting on the Bridge)
"Bridge to Riker, urgent."
"Go ahead Mr. Worf."
"Please return to the Bridge and kill me."
"What was that Lieutenant!?"
"The Doctor and the Captain are flirting very openly and aggressively on the Bridge."
(Sounds of explosive decompression)
"Bastard."
Hahahaha
"Merde!" was one of my favorite Picard lines. "Mr. Crusher, set course for Betazed. Warp nine." was another.
Do you know what “merde” means? I do.
@@darcybrummett7004 Je parle français assez bien.
"I would be delighted to offer any advice I can on understanding women. When I have some, I'll let you know."
im the age now Patrick was when he said that. and i have just as little knowledge as Picard.
My favorite Patrick Stewart moment.
Will Wheaton: Anyone who says "Shut up Wesley" gets blocked.
Patrick Stewart: Shut up Will.
7:00 the reason why Q keeps coming back.
7:23 Leave it to Star Trek to find the humor in a warp core breach.
in voyager the computer says warp core breach much sooner than you think.
@ 4:43 . .WORF'S REACTION . . PRICELESS !!! 🤣😂🤣
Captain Picard can be funny or embarrassed at times, but he’s still as cool as a cucumber 🥒. That’s why he’s so awesome.
Patrick and Majel had superb chemistry. The straight man and the clown; classic comedy duo. Patrick can be so subtle and Majel is so over the top. And of course her character is Betazoid so she knows perfectly well Picard is biting his tongue for the sake of diplomatic amity. Damn I miss her.
5:46 "Majel? I've got the perfect role for you. You won't even have to act."
I'm in quarantine and am watching TNG for a 2nd time. Captain Picard and Data are my two favorite characters ever. Captain Picard made my laugh, but often touched my heart with his sensitivity and wisdom. I love him.
"picard is a sober character so don't expect ROFL"
Picard is a sober character, THAT IS EXACTLY WHY THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ROFL!
Picard AND Odo had the misfortune of knowing Luxwana? Those poor men...
Yea but at the end Odo seemed to have come to care for her
Except Odo actually liked her. But she lost him to Kira. Then Kira lost him to his own kind.
@@RobespierreThePoof Its his show. He created it. He can cast who he wants. Besides, she was Amazing in every frikkin appearance in TNG and DS9. Does it bother you because maybe she didnt have to go through a rigorous casting situation? sheesh...
I remember when I first saw the episode when Picard draws the smiley face into the warp core breach - I lost it like for five minutes, I laughed so hard, because it was so silly and unexpected. :D One of the best memories watching TNG for sure. :D
greaatest line ever "shut up wesley""
I love Lawxana Troi. :p Majel Barrett is the first lady of Star Trek.
But there are so many first ladys in my opinion :D Janeway, Beverly Crusher :D the pretty Troi daughter and Uhura :D
That’s number 1
Hinagiku Games n' Stuff Except that Majel Barrett was also number 1 in the pilot, Nurse Chapel, the voice of the computer, and the wife of the show’s creator!
6:30 - One of the coolest reactionds by Capt. Picard.
Lol, the way that Picard checks the corridor for Lxwana Troi is hilarious.
The simple quiet "Warp 9" is the best line
2:45 Pretty sure Patrick Stewart broke character there for a couple seconds and started laughing at how stupid the whole premise of that episode was. At least it feels like it, then he kind of reigned it back in and gave his line.
“Where filming the scene where Picard, Riker and Worf investigate the fire in the cargo bay set by the Irish people, Patrick Stewart found the dialogue so hilarious, he started laughing, and forced himself to turn his back to the camera. When Jonathan Frakes approached him in-character as Riker, Stewart, still laughing, turned around and improvised the line about bowing to the absurd.”
@@pantspantsrevolution where is that quote from?
@@allison8654 I looked it up on Internet movie database otherwise known as IMDb
The little girl from "Disaster" was actually incredibly good for being that young. The way she acts with her eyes in this scene is really spot on
Agreed. She did a very good job.
Troy: My mother is on board...No further explanations needed.
LOL
3:06 Picard's FIRST Laugh!
This is the best show I've ever had the privilege to witness. Thank you, Gene.
The one of "my mother is on board" is still the best.
5:10
“Come cheer up my lads, come cheer up my lads!”
I find Picard to be hilarious both intentionally and unintentionally
6:32 - That wink by Capt Picard was such a great moment considering how much he had used to dislike children. Excellent character growth. 🖖🏻
Sir I know this may finish me as an actor... "Shut up Wesley."
Yes. Shut up Wesley. You 24 year old 8 year old.
captainfury2007 He was 14 then
When Picard pulled the blanket up I bout died!!!!! LMAO!!!
This series will always have a special place in my heart and my childhood. My dad was a fighter pilot n didn’t see him much. But we loved watching new episodes of TNG together. Cap Picard, Sergeant Carl Winslow, Uncle Phil and Tim the Tool Man Taylor were all the pinnacle of TV dads of the ‘90s.
That laugh in the beginning is when he loses his mind and draws a smile in a frozen cloud of smoke
"Sometimes....you just have to bow to the absurd."
I remember these scenes only too well. That scene where Picard tries to get Lwaxana back was surprising the first time I saw it; from the third-last episode of the third season entitled "Menage a Troi". But the funniest scene of all - in my opinion - is from the episode "Disaster"; the fifth episode of the fifth season. I saw it between 10-11 p.m. on FOX 29 (a Buffalo-based TV station) on Friday, October 25th, 1991. The day before, Gene Roddenberry had died. I will never forget he scene in which Riker and that girl named Marissa both said: "Aye, sir." I laughed so hard that I hit the floor!
"'Tis better to have loved and lost, than to sit naked on an anthill with your butt covered in honey." 🍯🐜
--Me 🚀
Patrick Stewart - a rare man that can pull off a wink and not only not look stupid, make it look good.
These were perfect! Thank you so much for putting this together!
I relate to Picard on a spiritual level.
7:18 RIKER = wtf
I have always enjoyed when MAJEL Roddenberry and John DELANCE show up on the scene. It is never a dull moment when those two are around. Thank you for having one of my most favorite moments on STTNG. It is when the captain has to show his undying love for Mrs. Troy. That is a classic moment. Thanks for posting the video. Take care, take it easy and be safe
PS sorry for any misspellings, I have to depend on dictation for I am blind as a bat, LOL
Lol. And at 3:03... the chicken starts clucking when Picard begins chuckling and it sounds like he is clucking. The spirit of the chicken has a great sense of humour haha.
He tries to get Lwaxana back with poetry, and fails. So he goes to what he knows, a full on assault.
finally found the origin of the "why the fuck" meme
Pyrrhic Victory make it so
Pyrrhic Victory The meme that launched a thousand starships.
I can't share this because people who don't know the show would see those 1st season clips out of context, and as a result, would never give the show a chance in the future. LOL
That wink is award winning.
Number one,
"I feel so,
Stupid"..
Captain.
"Quite right, so
You should".
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How about 22:02 into "The Ensigns of Command"? Geordi, O'Brien, and Wesley are in the transporter room trying to get transporters working, Picard enters-with a completely destroyed test canister on the floor and a mangled one on the pad, walks up to Geordi: "Now, how are things progressing, Mr. LaForge?" "About like you'd expect, sir," Geordi replies. Without missing a beat, Picard says: "Splendid, splendid! Carry on," as he turns for the door and heads out. Total time in room? About 5 seconds. ua-cam.com/video/zBxGrAWM9m0/v-deo.html
I love that Picard wink! ❤️😉
People saying they didn't have cursing in TNG clearly missed this scene. Merde is most certainly cursing.
Get Grok you missed the scene of Picard with Q, Riker, the Mariachis and one cigar in their mouths :P
Great compilation.
Hands down, Picard! In your place, I could not have resisted that moment at 0:24
Same
Picard: "Set course for Beta-Zed ... (warp 9)." LOL!
"Shut up, Wesley!" is the best written line in Star Trek.
"Darmok and Jalad....at Tanagra." That episode brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it.
Their faces wet...
@@harrysingh6577 *in winter!*
I watched "Menage a Troi" at a con. I laughed so hard at this bit i was still coughing when i went to bed.
"Tell me more!"
"You'll have to call again"
Sometimes you just have to bow to the absurd (laughing)
SAVAGE
You really got to hand it them to get half these takes without bursting out in laughter
WHEN THE WALLS FELL...
Mirab, with sails unfurled
Sokath, his eyes uncovered! =D
When Trump's wall plans fell
Speaking of Darmok and Jalad....some time after that episode I was at a friends house and heard a big crash in the kitchen. I went to see and she had dropped a big glass salad bowl full of salad. Lettuce and glass everywhere. She was quite angry. I said "sa-lad...when the bowl fell". She had to start laughing.
Shaka
