This meme uses a still shot of Captain Jean-Luc Picard from *Star Trek: The Next Generation* with a serious, stoic expression. Overlaid text on the left begins with a well-known inspirational quote from the character: "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is", and replaces the expected concluding word "life" with the *Mario Kart World* logo as the punchline. The joke references the widely relatable gaming experience of playing Mario Kart, where players can run a completely perfect race with no errors, only to lose at the last second due to random, unavoidable item attacks from other players, framing the game's intentional unfair randomness as the subject of Picard's quote.

This is a reaction meme using a screenshot from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The top text reads "How to say 'Fuck around and find out' with some goddamn class". The screenshot shows Captain Jean-Luc Picard standing next to the Klingon character Worf, with a subtitle of Picard's line from the scene: "You may test that assumption at your convenience". The joke centers on the fact that Picard's formal, polite, poised line delivers the exact same menacing threat meaning as the crude popular internet slang phrase "fuck around and find out", which warns people that acting recklessly or provocatively will lead to negative consequences they did not expect.

This meme features two lines of text at the top followed by a reaction image. The first line of text reads "So what's your advice to the coming generation?", the second line is the response: "Me: Don't come". The accompanying image shows Captain James T. Kirk from the original *Star Trek* series holding his hand out palm forward in a clear stopping, rejecting, or warning gesture. The joke is a darkly humorous, pessimistic commentary on modern societal, economic, and environmental hardships, implying that current conditions are so poor that it is better for future generations not to be born or enter the world at all.

This is a four-panel web comic shared as a meme, originally posted on Reddit with the title asking 'Where is the star trek future?'. The comic opens with a simple pink human character sitting on a wooden dock over water. A talking lobster in the water approaches the character, asking if he wants to learn something new. The lobster then shares the upsetting real-world fact that there are more enslaved people in the world today than at any previous point in history. The pink character responds, looking tired and dejected, with the line 'Knowledge is the heaviest burden'. The meme's title connects this joke to the absence of the idealized utopian future that the Star Trek franchise depicts, pointing out that severe social evils like slavery still exist in modern times, making the promised utopia feel far out of reach. The joke hinges on the relatable feeling of learning a depressing truth that permanently weighs on your mind after you know it.

This image is a screenshot of a social media comment thread, featuring a heartfelt, nostalgic story from user A. Thomas Finney II about seeing *Star Trek: The Motion Picture* on its opening weekend in December 1979. The comment details: - Waiting a decade for the film after the original TV series ended - Attending the screening at a now-closed theater in Las Vegas, NV - The memorable, beautiful opening music and classic Old Hollywood-style curtain reveal - A serendipitous moment with a meteor that felt like a sign for future Star Trek sequels - Ending with the iconic Star Trek phrase "Live long, and prosper" Above the comment, the official movie poster for *Star Trek: The Motion Picture* is displayed, featuring key characters Captain Kirk and Spock.

This meme uses a classic promotional group photograph of the *Star Trek: The Original Series* main cast, featuring Captain Kirk, Spock, Uhura, McCoy, Scotty, and Chekov in their iconic colored uniforms. The cast members have mixed expressions: some are smiling amusedly, others have neutral/stoic faces, all standing upright facing forward. The top text delivers a sarcastic, intentionally obvious 'fun fact': > Fun fact: To keep production costs low, many Star Trek scenes were actually filmed on Earth rather than on location in outer space. The humor stems from the absurdity of framing a universally known truth (sci-fi space scenes are filmed on Earth) as a surprising, exclusive piece of trivia, creating dry, ironic comedy.

This meme parodies the iconic 'first contact' trope from the *Star Trek* franchise. The top caption reads: 'The Star Trek episode when the enterprise went back in time and made first contact with the alien species that would rule the Earth'. The image below is a screenshot from *Star Trek: The Original Series*, showing Captain James T. Kirk, Dr. Leonard McCoy, and a redshirt crew member looking down at a small tabby kitten. The joke satirizes the grand sci-fi concept of first contact by framing domestic cats as the 'alien species' that have come to 'rule' human households, playing on the popular internet joke that cats are dominant, beloved pets in many homes. The humor comes from recontextualizing a serious sci-fi scene with a mundane, relatable animal.

This two-panel meme uses screenshots from *Star Trek: The Next Generation* to joke about a common complaint regarding *Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3*. In the top panel, Captain Jean-Luc Picard tells Commander William Riker he watched the film; Riker asks for his opinion. In the bottom panel, Picard deadpans that he could barely hear it, while Riker facepalms in frustration. The punchline references widespread criticism of the movie's audio mixing, where dialogue is often overwhelmed by loud music and sound effects, making it difficult to follow the story.

A two-panel meme with 'January 2026' text at the top of each panel. The left panel shows a serious-looking character in a red Star Trek uniform standing still, likely William Riker from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The right panel features another serious character in a similar uniform sitting at a console, possibly Jean-Luc Picard. The meme contrasts two perspectives of January 2026, using the characters' stern expressions to imply anticipation or gravity.

A two-panel vertical meme featuring Geordi La Forge from Star Trek: The Next Generation, wearing his iconic gold and black uniform with a VISOR. The top panel shows him raising his right hand in a casual stopping gesture, accompanied by the text: 'Making a meme that offends someone'. The bottom panel depicts him pointing with his right index finger, with the text: 'Making a meme that offends multiple people'. The humor lies in the progression of his gestures—from a passive stop to an intentional point—mirroring the escalation of meme offensiveness from single to multiple targets.

A two-panel meme comparing Star Trek characters from 1995 and 2026. The top panel shows a person in a dark, utilitarian Starfleet uniform standing against a greenish background with the text '2026'. The bottom panel features a person in a metallic, form-fitting Starfleet uniform leaning against a wall with a blue background and the text '1995'. The original title 'RIP Star Trek' suggests a critical tone, implying a decline in the quality or appeal of Star Trek in 2026 compared to the 1995 version.
