TNG s5e15 "Power Play"
Edit: corrected text coloring and a grammar error... and again to maintain the weirdly accented "Còmmánder" with the chair lights.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Reminds me of the scene in Generations where Riker dunked Worf in the water, data joined in the fun by dunking Crusher, and everyone responded like that was totally out of pocket.
Doesn’t make sense to me either, Data.
Most shenanigans require context and time the likes of which Data was not privy. Conjure up all the cultural instances you like, but until thoroughly explained and put into practice, Data will continue to be the proverbial "Pinocchio" wishing to belong.
Not condoning this meme's particular activities, mind you. Data's perspective was at least partially set up for us "social renegades" to have an analogous view to glom on to. Essentially, it's more important that we set our own boundaries and rules for what we deem acceptable.
That’s all very true, but it doesn’t stop me from feeling like Data would have a better time learning about humour from any other crew. Another great instance is his conversation with Guinan during the series, when she tries to explain jokes to him with “you’re a droid and I’m a noid”. I wasn’t laughing, either, and I don’t believe it’s because I have an odd sense of humour.
Then she gives up and sends him to the holodeck to learn from a computer generated stand up comic. Which is like telling ChatGPT to learn psychotherapeutic techniques from Eliza.
The poor man never stood a chance.
Joe Piscopo is no one's idea of a source of humor.
