Shatner played this to the full level! Totally brilliant. This whole skit was so well written. And Phil Hartman's Bones was perfect. A classic.

[markwaldron]

How Shatner pulled this off without bursting out laughing at any point speaks well of his acting chops.

I served in the Navy's Deep Submergence program on the DSRV-2 Avalon. The Avalon is now retired and on display at the Morro Bay Maritime Museum. The Museum recruited me as a tour guide. This is exactly how I felt while giving tours on the very boat I once went to sea once

[DireWolfForge]

Most overlooked is that Shatner pulled this off live. You gotta respect the man.

[plzreadmeprettygurl]

Just love how Shatner's never hesitated to caricature or make fun of himself as Capt. Kirk!

[Chaotic_Observer]

“Damnit Jim! Im a doctor not a- oh...”
That got me haha

[Don-olze]

3:06 "Damn it, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a - oh, oh sure!" 🤣

Another perfect line delivery from Phil Hartman. We'll not see his like again.

[DannyBeans]

Massive respect to Dana Carvey. He managed to outham Shatner without (apparently) hurting himself. That puts him right up there with Plummer, Montalban, and Lloyd.

Sulu is played by Akira Yoshimura who has been with the show from the beginning. He also played Sulu in the original Belushi as Kirk skit, 10 years prior. I love it when Khan tells him to turn around.

[RaspberryLemonade]

Let's give some praise to the incomparable Dana Carvey as Kahn. Nailed it!

[SkyBlue-qnme]

"I want full relish, Mr. Sulu!" 😂

[johnjamesleahy]

i love that william shatner is doing an over the top william shatner impression lol he did the impossible !

[sirybmits]

The best Shatner parody is Shatner himself. God I love this man <3

[CrystallineBlue]

This is hilarious! William Shatner making fun of himself as Captain Kirk, Dana Carvey's overly dramatic Khan-speak, and Phil Hartman's Bones is bang on.🤣🤣🤣

[oldnewsclipster]

Everyone is over-acting at such a high level it makes Shatner seem restrained. This is comedy gold - so glad to find it!

[Fiainn]

I can't believe they missed the opportunity to parody the "Revenge is a dish best served cold" line, since they had "Khan" there already!

[donnovicki]

Phil Hartman could sell any character, he was brilliant.

[jamesschulte]

This was Snl gold. The other star trek parody with Dan Akroyd and John Belushi was fantastic but to have Shatner doing a parody of himself was hilarious.

[IDBTitanosaurus]

The fact that this entire sketch is played straight is brilliant. It's like horrible fan fiction.

[alanmorris]

Dr McCoy: _"For God's sake Jim, be careful!"_ LMAO! (1:52) Rest in peace, Phil Hartman.
