From The Original Series, The Next Generation, Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and Lower Decks, here is a selection of some of the funniest moments, many of which took place on the holodeck or holosuite, where the characters could act out their fantasies in a virtual atmosphere of their choosing. Though the general mood of these series and films may not be considered comedic, the creators have, on occasion, indulged in lighter episodes to give both the actors and the audience a break from all those hardships. On a more personal level, existentialist crises, PTSD, friendships, and relationships create long-lasting attachments between audiences and episodic stories and recurring protagonists, especially those who have made a comeback in recent Star Trek installments. Threats of galactic domination or genocide are always looming, keeping audiences worldwide at the edge of their seats. A science-fiction franchise as monumental as Star Trek, spanning dozens of movies and TV shows, is not lacking in heartbreaking emotional moments, from goodbyes and tragic losses, to prejudice, betrayal, and injustice.
