Default Fivers. It's your choice.

Which Fiver do you like best?

I pretty much like all the Enterprise ones, they crack me up. But Earlier today, I read In the Pale Moonlight. Some how I seem to have missed this one before. Reading it, while drinking hot chocolate I came to this part:

Holo-Weyoun: ...at which point the rest of the Romulan fleet will be unable to stop us. What do you think, Damar?
Holo-Damar: DUH. I ARE STOOPID.
Sisko: Garak, are you sure you're the best person to write this script?
Garak: Are you implying that the dialogue is less than true-to-life?

At which the drick came flying out of my mouth (And a tiny bit of the nose) And I laughed so hard I spent the next 10 minutes on the floor gasping for breath.
That was a funny fiver.

That cracked me up too:

Sisko: Let's do some role-playing, old man. You're a Romulan strategist, and I argue that the Dominion is sure to turn on you eventually. What's your answer?
Dax: A human! How did you get into Romulan space? Guards!
Sisko: All right, let's say I take down the guards and you have to talk to me.
Dax: I demand to see proof!
Sisko: Blast, you're right. How can we prove the Dominion is --
Dax: No, proof that you could take down the guards. What's your THAC0?

Classic.

Whats other peoples favs?

I'm assuming we can't vote for our own.

I suppose to a certain extent I consider Caretaker to be way up there. It's one of the first (the first?). Consider this... (hey Duracell, where's my check? )

"Hey, wanna be Voyager's version of Bashir and O'Brien?" "Works for me."

"You know, they say a fool and her dog are soon parted." "Who cares?"

I do remember getting pretty regular chuckles out of IJD's 'Doomsday Machine' fiver:
Quote:
Kirk: Wow, glad I wasn't on that when it was attacked.
Spock: I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that whatever got the planets got that ship too.
Kirk: What are you saying?
Spock: We're screwed.
--------------------
Doomsday Machine: Kerplowie!
Enterprise: Ouch!
--------------------
Doomsday Machine: Kerplowie!
Spock: ....And with that, we're officially one million percent screwed.
Decker: Not if I can help it! Sulu, fire phasers!
McCoy: (over the comm) Sigh... can we declare him insane now?
Spock: Oh, all right. Mr. Sulu, break free.
Decker: What? You can't do that!
Sulu: We can't sir, we're too screwed.
--------------------
Decker: (over the comm) "And he piled upon the whale's white hump, the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it."
Kirk: Herman Melville....
Decker: No, Patrick Stewart. Anyway, goodbye cruel world....
Shuttle: Ka-BOOM!
But that's only one example...

Kerplowie? I guess that's okay, but I'm sorry, I just prefer KABLAZMO! Call me weird, call me obsessed, call me eccentric, just don't call me Shirley.

Maybe I'll call you Fred. Or Ignatz.

I wasn't going for the Batman School of Sound Effects (not that Biff and Zowie were ever sound effects anyway), I was just saying that the instant I saw Kablazmo I knew I loved it. Just another one of those irrational instant loves or hates that we all encounter in our lives that have absolutely no basis in logic or rational thinging. Just like I love and hate with no reason:

Love:
Tie-dye shirts.
Really unusual hats (I have a cowboy hat that's covered in this horrible tan courderoy, for Zarquon's sake!)
Collecting odd and unusual coins, with no regard as to whether they'd ever be of ANY sort of value to anyone else.

Hate:
Chopped onion in foods.
Shows that require full knowledge of EVERY episode that went on before it to understand the current one.
Tellytubbies

I could go on, but you get the point.

I've always loved the Vurtual Voyager episode Distant Elephants just for the simple fact that tuvok says "Elephants, Elephants, Elephants." all the time.

There's lots of others that are probably better, but this one has always stood out in my mind.
