What really makes this is Belushi's perfect and subtle impression of William Shatner's body language. He was such a consummate physical comedian.

That's Kirk's actual serial number (as seen in the episode "Court Martial") that Belushi recites at the end. Belushi even does it with his eyes closed, perhaps showing us he's a green blooded Trekkie because he knew it by heart.

In Bob Woodward's book on Belushi, "Wired: The Short Life and Fast Times of John Belushi" he recounts how Belushi missed the dress rehersal for ths skit and right before it was obvious he couldn't get his lines right. But when the live camera rolled he absolutely nailed it. Thats part of what makes him legendary.

The look on the face of Chevy Chase was priceless when they took his ears.

This never gets old.............it's been 55 years and Trek still lives

I love how Belushi kept playing it straight all he way to the end.

Belushi delivers his lines perfectly for a show with little preparation. He was great.

I'm almost 65. I miss the real Star Trek.

What made this sketch so good is it was played straight and not spoofed

Belushi showed his immense talent in this skit.

I was a teenager when the original cast was blowing every ones minds. Nobody missed a show!

"With the exception of one television network, we have found intelligent life." Imagine 7 years after a show has been off the air, mocking your own network for cancelling it while shooting the first season of your own show. And also knowing that at the height of Star Trek's popularity in syndication, you are absolutely justified in doing so.

fyi Lt. Sulu is played by Akira Yoshimura (the show's set designer) and Lt. Uhura is played by Doris Powell (one of the show's production assistants).

This skit is perfection. It really is. Elliot Gould walks in like he owns the place. I love it.

I died when Spock kept trying his nerve pinch 😂

Chevy Chase is playing Spock?! Wow, he really did a fantastic job. I really didn't think it was him. His voice was spot on.

This was really the first time anyone did a parody of Star Trek, where they distilled all the subtle things that everyone associates with the show. The personalties, mannerisms, cliches... all spot on.

One of the most brilliant satires ever written. It's funny because all good comedy has a kernel of truth at its core.
@EF-fc4du 10 months ago

The progenitor of all Star Trek parody. I love how Belushi only occasionally slips into the quirks of William Shatner's speech patterns as opposed to doing it throughout the sketch as is common with Shatner impressions since.
