Star Trek's Data: Funny Moments

All of the funny moments I could find involving Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation (but not any of the feature films.) No particular order but I tried to generally group by theme - Data being too exact, too literal, annoying shipmates, trying to be funny, etc.

Note: As with most of my other Star Trek clip videos there are some quality issues. There are also some segments where the audio track drifted off. I wasn't going for an Emmy here.

"Could you continue the petty bickering. I find it most intriguing"
Data is my spirit animal

[GamingSpoiler]

He's so good I genuinely sometimes forget that the actor is an actual human being.

[CityofButterfly]

I can absolutely relate to Data rattling off way-too-specific details until everyone around him loses interest and cuts him off.

I love how offended Picard gets at the suggestion that the French language was "obscure"

Mon dieu!

9:00 I love how Geordi was perfectly willing to sit there and listed to Data recite an entire novel

[Clearlyclynn]

Can we take a minute to appreciate how Brent Spiner acts when he’s accessing data, he does such a great job acting as an android.

[MasterArchfiend]

The fact no one laughs at his good jokes boggles me. He has some real zingers. Plus, they are really rude to interrupt him at times. He and Spock are two characters that I would love to sit down and discuss strategy and science with.

19:50 I never noticed how hilarious that slow turn away was. Brent Spinner was easily the most hilarious person on the cast.

Geordie: Here for a trim?
Data: My hair does not require a trim, you lunk head.
Geordie: WHAT?!

[blacksquirrel]

Better title would have been “Thank you Mr.Data”

[Hazy_Heart]

3:26
I demand they release the "Data buzzing like a fly" cut

[Melissa-wxlu]

God, even when I was watching this show as a kid I just wanted someone that Data could talk with. Everyone is so impatient with him, even when off duty.
And when what's her face mispronounced his name I felt the rage of a thousand burning suns.

[austinhealey]

One line I've always loved from Data is when he said "Geordi, I cannot stun my cat". That line just cracked me up.

[DevAndVic]

I love when Data verbally dissects the crew.

[emilyhedrick]

I'm autistic, and Data trying to navigate his interactions with flesh and blood humans reminds me of how I try to navigate my interactions with neurotypical people. I know this isn't exactly the same, but I feel represented nonetheless. I love Data.

12:51 “If you attempt to ignite a petroleum product on this ship at 000 hours, you will activate the fire suppression system. And will soon result in a supernova.”

holy shit remind me to never burn midnight oil ever
the jump between those two scenes are perfect

[Hgamer]

🎶 There once was a lady from Venus, whose body was shaped like a🎶 —CAPTAIN TO SECURITY

[KindaNameless]

I've never watched Star Trek, but i somehow ended up watching these compilations of Data, and i'm loving it :D

[DevAndVic]

I've always thought that Data was the most important crew member. If they listened to him half as much as they should Starfleet would've been the masters of the galaxy.

[stellap.]

“Perhaps you should try to build on your differences” I just witnessed a murder. Is data aware that he just murdered worf? That little nod at the end like ‘I just solved that problem, good for me’
