Oml Bones never looked happier than when he found out Spock had a teddy bear. That is the face of a best friend who has found a gold mine of new insults
But it had 6 inch fangs. So a pretty macho teddy bear.
Still, I bet it's a cute teddy bear nonetheless.
@@Linhdoesstuff It's in the animated series. It is indeed cute. :)
felt sorry for the death of that poor teddy bear
@@Valyrianalien I've seen fanart of it. It looks so cuddly and adorable.
Every time Bones does the little bounce on his feet it adds ten years to my life
What an effective doctor
@@shotgun6X YES
I feel that
Kirk just stands between them eating popcorn and grinning 😂
He's just there to watch the show 😆
Movie butter 🧈 popcorn 🍿 too!
One of my favorite things about Spock is that his human side is given away by his intentional insults. In a truly emotionless being, there would be no release of dopamine from the rewards section of the brain at something so simple as an effective insult. It's a purely human desire for petty revenge, and it's hilarious!
And McCoy knows it!
It's not though, Vulcans are MORE emotional than humans not less.
@@ghosty918 The two of you have invented false rules from specific examples within a show, the 1960s _Star Trek,_ that casually ignored its own earlier episodes if a better story could be told by changing the fictional world. It's interesting in that it's how good Star Trek often gets made, by ignoring "canon" or "lore", as _Next Generation_ did with its heavily revised, _Star Trek III_ derived Klingons, a revision which of course required its own "lore" from a cancelled Star Trek show to pander to fans. Spock would find it fascinating.
I concur
@@MegaZeta Brilliant observation
I love how Spock justifies his teddy bear. No dude, it’s still bad-ass, he had teeth and everything.
And 6 inch fangs
And was an actual living animal.
See the animated episode “Yesteryear”. :)
He nods his head yes when his mother looked at him. giving his mother permission to speak about it.
@@Ti-nf4fq Also, that expression on her face looking over at Spock just as McCoy is asking her a question.
The give-and-take between the three leads was always the key to Star Trek.
And to think, none of that was Gene Roddenberry's idea at all, just like the Federation itself.
Jar Jar was the key. Wait, that's Star Wars.
Too bad nobody told Kurtzman... He's all but murdered the franchise at this point.
Earlier science-fiction was laced with nauseatingly perfect protagonists. Turns out the key to making them likeable is to split them in three.
Can everyone appreciate Scotty for remaining alive despite being a man in red shirt
I think he knows it. Ever notice how infrequently he beams down?
Yes, Scotty appreciation is due.
Actually he did die once! NOMAD in 'The Changeling' killed him.
I think Mr. Leslie deserves a "runners up" prize in the Red Shirt Survivor Club. 🥈
@@MrRedcarpet02 But Scotty did Nomad's voice! 😆
The part where Spock's mother is talking to McCoy, you can almost see Spock thinking, If I were capable of emotion, Mother, I would feel that you are embarrassing me.
True that. It would be different if she was talking to Kirk, but McCoy...oh my...
I know. That's one of my favorite parts.
Yes, but a living teddy bear with 6" fangs.
@@roberthicks1612 must get you the girls when your older. XD
@@spockgirltrekkie7135 It wasn't a teddy bear. It was an animal that resembled a teddy bear. But it was alive- and it had fangs!
It's kind of scary that when they artificially aged DeForest Kelley, he acted and sounded exactly how he was when he did the pilot episode of Star Trek the Next Generation.
ikr?
I think they used the same make up because Dee wasn’t that wrinkled until after TNG’s pilot episode.
They used the same makeup processes when shooting TNG (for which he was displeased with as he thought 24th cosmetic surgery would be advanced enough to make a 140 look like late 60's) and he reviewed his performance from The Deadly Years to recapture his "older self" portrayal.
Maybe that's WHY he acted as he did on TNG. He wanted to be consistent! LOL
Not really scary, just his “old country doctor” voice
I find it so funny how amused Kirk is about their arguing, whenever they start at each other he’s always grinning.
The Spock’s teddy bear scene never fails to crack me up 😂
Spock forgot to mention that a sehlat is roughly the size of an American brown bear---fully grown.
ZITA CARNO Yep 😂😂
I like how McCoy's face lights up when he says teddy bear
@@zitacarno4443 That all. Just the size of a grown grizzly. What between Vulcans man eating plants and having pet grizzly bears with 6" fangs Spock would up a pretty well rounded Person all told.
To this day, the acting was completely underrated.
Great chemistry too.
The back and forth of Bones and Spock is one of the greatest things about the original series. They talk all kinds of trash on each other but you can tell they both really care, in their own way. It's great
Great observation. It was clear the two actually liked and respected one another.
To me, that was a very accurate portrayal of military personnel when I was in the US Navy if I was not being called Fokker or worse I would have thought the love was gone. We insulted the hell out of each other but would have taken a bullet for each other in a second.
It's like r2d2 and c3pio. From a franchise😊 that shall not be named.
Exactly!!
I want to be insulted by Spock. He's always so civilized and courteous about it.
that's Stoicism
He could insult me and I'd probably end up thanking him for being so nice
It's called passive agressive
I like the endearingly daring Doctor, the real McCoy, too!
Being insulted by Spock would be akin to a religious experience...
"I need your advice..."
"Then I need a drink!"
XD rofl
I fail to see the correlation.
Katie Hamilton Loved how those two always got into it with each other, yet, they both admired each other's scientific knowledge each possesed. This was also the same thing that Gunsmoke always had between Ole Doc Adams and Festes, which Gene Roddenberry felt it humorous and incorporated this into his own television series tv show.
The way bones shush both of them like that and gave them the mom glare always gets me 😂
It's HIS Sick Bay...and he won't tolerate any b.s. there!
The second McCoy met Spock's mother, he knew he stepped in a troll goldmine.
'I think you're both gonna be insufferably pleased with yourselves for at least a month! Sir.'
this has always made me laugh. Thinking of Leonard nimoy instead of leonard mccoy
The eyebrow arch when he said “sir” is the icing on the cake.
How many days in stellar months?
"Indeed, captain. I've never seen him look so happy." "Shut up!"
That gets me every time. xD
Notice McCoy says SHUT UP to Spock and shushes Kirk. He knew saying shut up to the ship's captain would be insubordination!
It's insubordination to Spock too. He is his superior as the First Officer.
1:26 “So are you! …SIR.” 😂
Seriously though this whole scene is so good. Spock’s steely anger contrasts so well with McCoy’s explosiveness-and for once they’re on the same side, practically reading each others’ minds.
Leonard Nimoy and De Kelley are so very missed.
Sue Walsh you are so right about Leonard and de
I agree wholeheartedly about that. I was literally bawling when I found out Nimoy passed away. I felt like a part of my childhood died with him that day.
@@Jeng4280 Well, they can't live forever though Shatner seems to be intent of testing that statement!
Yes.
I don't know what Spock's more shocked at, the fact that his two friends have a child named after them or the fact that they didn't ask to add his name.
I always thought it was the second option.
I thought it was a wink/nod to his real name .
@@ThePrettyeyes341Do not. It was because deep down, I think Spock was offended that his name wasn't included in the baby's name.
@@queenheart6167 lol ok
Now I always found that hilarious!😂
Their verbal sparring is always so.....razor sharp. Very well written. Almost Shakespearian.
Every original Star Trek episode literally hypnotizes me. It's not only the brilliant writing, but also the amazing troupe of actors.
7:01 "I think you're both going to be insufferably pleased with yourselves, for, at least a month...sir." XD
You know it's serious when Spock says I'll listen to any ideas, even emotional ones.
"First time you've ever asked me for anything and it has to be an occasion like this."
Respect the man who can tell both Spock and Kirk to shush and have them BOTH actually shush.
And they let him break the fourth wall.
That Tribble Scene is just comedy gold
I have a solution to the Tribble problem. Tribble soup? Another would be Tribble coats.
@@vanmoody I am in! LET'S GET THE FACTORY OPERATING!
Written by David Gerrold, one of the franchise's best (if often uncredited) writers, and the guy who decided Jim Kirk's middle name was "Tiberius".
The Tribbles are a funny episode!! It's one of my favorites. ♥️
I believe it is one of the BEST exchanges between Spock and McCoy in the entire series.
A different world in the 60’s than now. This show had a plethora of different writers and therefore variety and viewpoints . Placed under the guiding hand of a brilliant production arm and staff and played by actors that happened to be perfectly cast it’s a once in a lifetime show . Probably never equaled in its ubiquity.
Also the '67 & '68 budget was the most of the shows on tv.
Ubiquity? It's not omnipresent.
I love Bones so much omg haha his face when Spock's mother made the comment about that teddy bear and when he stated thriumphally "i finally got the last word" lol he's an incredible character ❤😍
I agree!
My personal favourite about that last comment is that in the german version you can here Kirk from the off after Bones statement
Bones: "I'll finally have the last word."
Kirk from the off "The second to last"
@@Finschenable bones: scheiße..
Best cast ever,they bring so much to the table
This is why I got them all on DVD, so could always get "a piece of the action" whenever I want !!!
Me too. It’s great because some rainy weekend you can binge watch them.
Spock: _sees McCoy with his hand in the girl's hands_
McCoy: *panic*
I don't quite understand his reaction xD
@@Gold6240 vulcans are like 3 times stronger than a human I would bet having one of them stare at you intently would hurt.
McCoy withdraws his hand like he’s been caught cheating on Spock.
"Am I interrupting something, doctor?"
6:25 Spock: I would rather not...
Baby: :(
Eleen - "Mac Coy, bring our child."
Kirk - "Our child?"
At 6:00 - The funniest Spock moment EVER! The face he makes is priceless! The first time I saw it, I knew that I'd never forget it. He didn't even have to say a word. The expression and the music were all that was needed.
Oh! So true! :-))))
"I turn my back for ONE MINUTE and you're already flirting with the alien lady?! One Kirk on the bridge crew is enough, keep it in your pants!"
Spock walked away like “Dammit Mccoy”
Oh God when Bones smiled and said "Teddy Bear?" I lost my shit.
3:08 Kirk knew the bantering was coming😂
That look on his face 😆 You can tell he's just thinking, "I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the ride"
You can’t overestimate the importance of the banter between these three in making Star Trek what it is.
The writing and performances haven't been equalled.
Precisely why the Star Trek series following STOS, while good, never had the same appeal to me.
The "Beads and Rattles" part ALWAYS makes me giggle 😃
Always liked Spock's line between 3:34 and 3:37 about being desperately needed among a shipload of illogical humans. The line itself is funny, but it also sounds like he's saying something a little more amusing than "shipload."
I love all the little double entendres from the original series. Using Vulcan and Shipload like expletives
A shipload of seamen
Intentional, of course, just like "you were so worried about his Vulcan eyes, you forgot about his Vulcan ears". Ironically, the stricter standards for TV content in the '60s vs. the '90s invited Star Trek to get a little cruder with wordplay.
The way Bones’s face lights up when he hears that Spock had a “teddy bear” is both hilarious and heartwarming
I've always loved sarcasm. "I'm not a magician, just an old country doctor." Spock's reply, "Yes, as I've always suspected." This is the height of sarcasm. Spock is telling Bones he's totally useless.
"I think you're both going to be insufferably pleased with yourselves or at least a month!"
And here I thought The Incredible Journey was the only place where Sassy was a character.
Ah, embarrassing your son with awkward baby stories. That's what moms are for! XD
And if I get the chance,
I believe I shall do it more often.
McCoy: "I'm not a magician, Spock, just an old country doctor."
Spock: "Yes, as I always suspected."
LOL this is too funny. I saw it first when I watched the episode and still crack up every time I watch it.
Spock can side eye like no other
+Jacob Price Yes, yes he can. 😂
Yes, McCoy said he was 'just an old country doctor"---but in many ways he was way ahead of his time. If you remember, in "Dagger of the Mind" he was the one who pushed the reluctant Vulcan to attempt the mind-meld with van Gelder with the urgent "Will it work---or not?"
Beads and rattles, lol
Yes, from "The Deadly Years".
These scenes are what make trek , Trek. You can't beat the Trifecta, Kirk, Spock, Bones.
2:58 Spock just straight up called him a witch doctor lol
DeForest Kelley acting like an old grumpy man is the best.
Well, DeForrest Kelley was the oldest actor in the cast.
I swear one of the best parts is always Kirk's amused smile when Spock and Bones get in an argument
This is the Trek I grew up with and love.
This is the real Star Trek. Strange New Worlds comes close.
"Beads and rrrattlesssss." Ugh I wish there was an audio book version of the dictionary that Nimoy had narrated.
"The first time you have ever asked me for anything, and it has to be an occasion like this!"
Dr McCoy really did spend too much time on the bridge. Don't you have a job, slacker?
One of the most refreshing things about the original series, the hilarious exchange between Spock and McCoy. Deep down a mutral respect and love. Ironic (maybe not) that McCoy's first name is Leonard, as is Spock's real name Leonard Nimoy.
@Hairway to Steven it is quite possible.
Likely purely accidental, since Kelley was offered the role of Spock, and chose instead the ship's physician, thinking that role would offer more humor than the serious Vulcan.
@@marysueeasteregg Spock was indeed a stoic......but even he had his moments of humor.....
"Constant exposure does result in a certain degree of contamination."
I think if I had to pick a favorite line it would be that one.
Leonard Nimoy had just the right look on his face - and he said it PERFECTLY! 😉
Spock and Bones...man these two are forever classic!
5:43 is definitely my favourite McCoy moment *ever*. :)
I like in the one movie when they are camping and eating beans
I like the way Nimoy says "Beaads and rattlllesss"
Thank you for posting this! I so miss the REAL Star Trek..R.I.P. Spock,Mcoy,Scotty 😔
I love it! those two are like big brother and little brother, and I would consider spock the big brother in the equation. "I can pick on him, but don't pick on him. that's my job"
I thought it was the other way around, expecially as spock is younger than mccoy, the age difference being more significant as vulcans live longer
They were the best odd couple in sci-fi history!!! 😂
7:59
"I need your advice"
"Then I need a drink!"
Well what d'ya know? I finally got the last word. Best McCoy line ever.
"I finally got the last word." In the German dub: Kirk: "Second last word."
Yeah I was waiting for that line xd
6:00 the interaction of these two actors was underrated really. so much said there without any words..
Indeed!
Kirk: "Dr. McCoy, I believe you're enjoying all of this."
Spock: "Indeed, Captain. I've never seen him look so happy."
McCoy: "Shut up!"
A true example of why tos can and will never be surpassed.
Thank pitchforks and pointed ears!
I've seen some comments down there saying that Spock and McCoy are like brothers, with *Spock* being the older one, and I have to disagree. The brother thing is obvious, but Spock is a snarky brat most of the time, and Bones is the grumpy, caring, imma-protect-you-if-i-have-to-sit-on-you one. (Plus Bones *is* older anyway, and Spock is like... barely twenty-five, if we measure age with Vulcan lifespans in mind.)
Interesting view!
I agree :)
The friendship between Bones and Spock becomes clearer in the movies. The camping expedition; Kirk, Spock and Bones are most comfortable amongst each other's company than with other people. I sense each of them is lonely - no wives, no kids.
McCoy had a daughter! He entered Starfleet after the end of his marriage, canonically.
Spock was never more annoyed than in Friday's Child, when the new leader named her baby "Leonard James Aka-ar."
"Has a kind of a ring don't you think, James?"
2:45 "I find your arguments strewn with gaping defects in logic" ... "Maybe, but [the Captain] has avoided two appointments that I've made for his physical exams without reason" ... "That's not at all surprising, Doctor, he's probably terrified of your beads and rattles."
And everyone says Vulcans have no sense of humor...!
It is from Season Two, Episode Eight, ‘I, Mudd’. Bones is not actually referring to Kirk here, but to a new crewmember.
Iow bones is a big baby lol
@@lucyhartwell2134 And that guy turns up to be an android. So the doctor was right in his observations.
4:35 God damn I loved that Sarek actor. RIP sir
He was great in the next generation as well.
The tribbles are so stinkin' cute!! 😍🤗
The first bromance in tv history!
I loved the very last clip. That one gets me every single time. LOL! Loved the McCoy/Spock banter. It's what made the humor in Star Trek. :)
8:31 The tribble comment almost made me throw up for laughing so hard omg, i had never laughed more than today lol 😂😂😂😂😂
That first clip with Celeste Yarnell’s character “Martha Landon” from the ep The Apple, is what fully got me into watching TOS from start to finish! I had to see what the context of that conversation was haha. I’m glad I watched the show! Absolutely amazing! I love it! Breaks my heart knowing most of the cast has passed away. Rest In Peace.
IF I recall, wasn't Chekov putting the moves on her! Don't blame him. And didn't Kirk kinda c-block him!
@@victorpradha9946 Right. Pav, as she called him was 'getting some'. It was one episode where it wasn't Kirk getting it. Lol!
Bones: To quote a certain smuggler in another time and galaxy," NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS!!"
Spock: Very well Doctor.
Yes. The famous response of the smuggler after being told the odds of successfully navigating through an asteroid field.
In that 2nd clip from "The Gamesters Of Triskelion", Bones raises the question, "Can people live that long as disassembled atoms in a transporter beam?". That question is actually answered in the TNG episode "Relics", w/James Doohan.
I really love these people with all of my soul.
The banter of the lead trio of TOS never fails to put me in a better mood no matter how down I feel. It's like magic.
DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy) was great in this show. Maybe he wasn't "logical", but he stood up for humanity. K
Jim Parsons really nailed Spock's comedy side when he played Sheldon Cooper.
Wow, I see this and am reminded what a great series that was. Timeless now, but ahead of its time. At 3:58, check out Mrs. Sarek....what an amazing look they pulled off for her gown and hair. For what was an fairly limited budget, they pulled a lot off creatively.
Bones and Spock were my favorites 🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My goodness that girl at the beginning is beautiful xoxoxo.
Oh, and love me some Kirk, Spock, McCoy :)
you have said literally the opposite to everyone else. That Pine and Quinto are okay but Urban IS McCoy. hell even Nimoy said that Karl was Kelley.
@Jaegar Ultimai think urban played the most accurate version of them all
@@wierdalien1 he went from Cupid to Ceasar on the Xena series with minimal effort a well rounded actor
@Jaegar Ultima Helps being a country boy too
Alistair Shaw I read that Nimoy started crying when he saw Urban acting as Bones because it was like his old friend was brought back to life.
The PURE ECTASY on Bones' face when he found out Spock had a "teddy bear". That was real ,no freaking acting 🤣🤣
This compilation convienced me to finally go and watch the entire TOS!
"Beads and rattles." Savage.
I absolutely love Bones he's always been my number 1
More proof that Karl Urban was THE one to play McCoy. He had DeForrest Kelley pegged.
The ears make all the difference. 😃
Mccoy is a wonderful antagonist
I like the part when Spock chuckles as he try to explain that the machine would have to teach the people on s3x.
My favorite all time back n forth was between Spock and Kirk in the last scene of the episode Mirror Mirror as Kirk and crew are exiting Spock ends it with "Capt Kirk ..I shall consider it" that banter between them was golden
"NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS!"
Okay, Han S. Lol!
2:27 I love how genuinely pissed Spock is, he turns and glares at him as he leaves - I can’t xD
In this and TNG, McCoy seems to get more Southern as he gets older.
This show was brilliant in many ways.
RIP Leonard Nimoy and DeForrest Kelly
Kirk,Spock,Bones were the main three. BUT IT would not be Star Trek without Uhura,Scotty,Checkout, & the best helmsman in the Federation.
Star Trek! I loved it as a kid 50 years ago. I still do!
In the first scene, there’s actually an unnamed redshirt in the room. I bet he’s trying to hold in his laughter seeing his boss and higher ups try to explain something which is extremely embarrassing to talk about, he probably would’ve told his friends all about it if he didn’t die later on.
