I love Shatner's acting in TOS. One of my favorite aspects of the show. And I like Kirk. He's a great leader. TOS movies are also great. Even Final Frontier which is kinda bad, but I still like it!
Yeh i kinda like Final Frontier too, it's the chemistry between those guys that makes that particular Trek movie watchable. Heres a pointless fact i'll share with you, in Final Frontier, the part where Kirk get attacked by the ThunderCat lady, the sound she makes before he picks her up and throws her is James Brown's "waaahh!" from the start of his "I feel Good" song.
funniest bit for me was when Kirk said "at least let me call my ship , say goodbye " when they were going to kill him , and the ganster just agreed . I LOLed really hard at that
@@NitpickingNerd Well if it was like he said" Before you kill me let me get something out my car I will be right back." and he let him do it would mean these mobsters are completely brainless.😁
@SOCORRO SILVA a piece of Nostalgia to lighten up my day and i like how you put that simply just to enjoy the day and a piece of pop culture ! CHEERS mate .
TOS always had these silly episodes where everybody was a gangster, an entire planet of gangsters, or maybe romans, whatever. Though in fairness, Stargate SG1 did it too, like with that planet where the resident Goa'uld masqueraded as the devil, and the entire population was made up of medieval Christians.
he came back later to collect his cut. that's how he had enough money to buy a house (since starfleet never paid him money) . a private house with acres of land around it is extremely expensive on Earth since its population is nearly one trillion at that time
@@MajorGrin i doubt it was a trillion lol. It was in the Billions range as of 2154 as Archer said he was trying to prevent the deaths of "Billions of people" at the hands of the Xindi Superweapon. With a thousand planets and Colonies it might not be necessary to have more than 10 Billion on the planet.
@@MajorGrin It's pretty unlikely that the Earth would be that heavily populated. The Eugenics wars had casualties around 30-40 million, and then WWIII had further casualties casualties of six hundred million and destroyed most of the world's major cities and left the planet irradiated, and then the planet rapidly re-industrialized and redeveloped with Vulcan aid, meaning that there was probably a baby boom followed by a rapid normalization of birthrates. Not to mention, with that redevelopment and the ability to replicate food on a major scale, it's very likely that much of the land outside of city centers was made available as it was no longer needed for agriculture. It's very possible that land outside urban areas is relatively cheap, or may not even need to be purchased at all, with ownership being determined by possession and use rather than title deed.
Love this episode, but it's so true that the Federation is probably pretty much like this with everyone when it comes to huge taxes and intimidation lol
I mean, I guess they might impose tariffs for commerce with extra-Federation entities, but that's probably not going to affect the vast majority of Federation citizens.
I am watching Star Trek TOS at TV (Legend xtra), and literally immediately after finding this video, thead break finished and the exact same scene that's in this video, started on TV.
You know technically what Kirk did here is great...he presented purpose of the federation in a way that they'd understand.
yeah i imagine the marquee playing this clip during recruitment and going: "See!? They are the same just one is more advanced."
1:20 "Spocko", absolutely hilarious!
and Sawbones 1:05
I would advise yas ta keep dialin’, Oxmyx!
You can tell William Shatner was having fun this material.
Looks like he loved playing comedy!
Vic Tayback before the Mel's Diner days
0:06 is the best Shatner impression Shatner has ever done.
@NeonVisual that 's a>>>>> PEEE NUTS !! he out SHATNERS himself in this one!! LOL!
I just love the "Cover him, Spocko!"
I will never get the sight of Spock in a gangsters suit wielding a Thompson machine gun out of my head now, thank you youtube algorithm.
No wonder he can just retire in the Nexus, his crime boss business has him rich beyond belief.

lol nice name. dont forget the searl effect generator, kate bush and zachrin cockring
1:19 Al right SPOCKO, cover him.. (That really made me laugh..!!)
1:05 I think that's the only time Kirk ever calls McCoy the full name "Sawbones"
"Listen, Scotty, dis is Koik!" Lost it.
Great, isn't it??
every so often i quote this episode and i got "hello scotty. this is koik."
1:47 You may think you're cool, but you will never be gangster Spock cool
I'll bet Shatner was loving every second of this.
"Who's interfering? We're ... taking over." :D

@@hamhockbeans Good at copying other people's 'boxes', just don't ask them to think outside one.
This is one episode made for Shatner.
Spock is thinking: "pfft phases!! ...If I had a hammer..."
I remember seeing every single episode of Star Trek: The Original Series with Mr William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and Deforest Kelly as Captain James T Kirk, Mr Spock and Dr McCoy respectfully very much while I was much younger and boy did I enjoy watching it very much.
Please enjoy this day to its max. ©®

Kirk's 'Chicaguh' accent here just slays me! XD
Listen Krako... we're taking our Fizzbin ... except on Tuesdays... and if its night ... we have to give it back...
My favorite quote of this episode is"baby watch this they will have heaters on them"
That said just before Spock and McCoy materialize on the planet

TOS did it first-and they did it best!
"I would advise yuz to keep dialin' Oxmyx."
Best single line in Star Trek, ever.
It actually feels like a real mobster movie from 1:07
Anyone wonder if Kirk checked in on them like he did with Khan?
Vinnie!!!
he came back later to collect his cut. that's how he had enough money to buy a house (since starfleet never paid him money) . a private house with acres of land around it is extremely expensive on Earth since its population is nearly one trillion at that time
@@MajorGrin Extremely expensive? How about on planets that 400 trillion people? Is land expensive there?

@@TheManWithTheFlan florida strip in enterprise had 6 million people killed
They were having way too much fun in this episode.
This episode has it all. It is the best of the best. I could watch it all day
"Spocko" LOL
*Peanuts!* The real stuff, not the replicated crap!
He Must of Had a Blast in Doing a Piece of the Action this is one of My Favorite episodes While Growing up.
This is what Quentin Tarantino wants to base his final movie on?
1:30 proves that Kirk is one of Chancellor Gowron's ancestors.
And proves that he’s the descendent of DENNY CRANE.
Kirk would be able to get away with telling Joe Pesci to shine his shoes...
To shine his *f-kin* shoes…
Love this episode, but it's so true that the Federation is probably pretty much like this with everyone when it comes to huge taxes and intimidation lol
they don't have money
Federation don't got currency dude, they could have a 500% tax rate it'd still be no taxes.
I mean, I guess they might impose tariffs for commerce with extra-Federation entities, but that's probably not going to affect the vast majority of Federation citizens.
@@Griff00 dont need money to take a cut of resources.
if it showed the ending, it would have said kirk would have the 40% to go to help and aid for the planet
Scotty is gonna beam Krako up, beam Krako up.
"Looks like we've put the bag on YOU!"
Bingo, and a rather obvious parallel to American foreign policy.
Put the heat on them spacco
Spocko!
Eyyy it's Koyk!
So hilarious 😂
Let t he TOS recuts begin!
it may have even more potential than TNG did
fuzzy hats are OP
I would like to have seen the ending, "piece of the action" scene.
And this is why I sympathize with Eddington... a little.
Spocko
Sawbones
40% is NOT enough....
IMO such a Great era of 📺. I grew up on this in Simpler times
Imagine if the gangsters refused to let him cawl his shep
Bella oxminx in 2020
Oh My God, that hat on Kirk… looks like someone made it out of a dog blanket 🤣
Hahahaha 😅! But didn't he look great in blue?
The mob accent was perfect .
I felt bad for Deforest Kelly not getting the chance to dress up like a gangster. :)
Such a fun episode. So much scenery chewing. lol.
I am watching Star Trek TOS at TV (Legend xtra), and literally immediately after finding this video, thead break finished and the exact same scene that's in this video, started on TV.
Aw! Left out the last, best part! 🤓😎🖖🏻
Kirk is telling the bosses to get their fuckin' shine boxes
What I like is everyone of those men's suits could be worn today
Second only to The Trouble with Tribbles?! Lol 😆🤣🤣🤣.
It's Mel from the diner.
this is the only video bill burr watched his whole life.
Good ol billy red eczema balls burr
Planet Chicago 2021
I never noticed before how Shatner could have understudied Carol O'Connor . . .
"You're a Penny in the Operator!" I'll use that line on my manager if i ever win the lottery and end up walking out on my job.
Penny ante not penny in the
@@mattboesch8907 Correct. Though maybe he was being facetious, like people joking about something being a "diamond dozen".
It's, "You're a penny-ante operator"! ( Means small-time, no big deal!)!
@@sarahfullerton6894 Works perfectly for me when i make that big win 😁
In poker, a penny-ante game is where you need only bet 1 cent to be dealt in to the game.
Thaaat'ssss....PEANUTS!..... toanoutfitlikethefederation.
And they even subtle hid the truth in one of their episodes
Better than Gotti
@EarthHound you mean that Travolta atrocity ! oh yes no arguments here on that have to love the original series , they were endearing in their way!
I am disappointed, that there is no hard cut to Tony Montana introducing the away team to his little friend...
2:11 😂
This was a lighter version of Dark City
It happened here
Ha ha, no. The Federation is nothing like that... nothing like...
*oh, sh¡t...*
I'm imagining the chinese president in the role of Kirk and Putin and the other oligarchs in the role of the gangsters 😂
I'm sure Kirk just did this to successfully leave the planet. And the Federation never came back....
also to unite the planet under one leadership
@@NitpickingNerd plus the Iotians are great at mimicking other cultures. Eventually they would mimic the Federation.
became a barber
For sure Kirk tapped the one in the red dress.
Shatner sounds more like Bugs Bunny than a mobster.
that accent
Why does this remind me of US policy in Afghanistan.
Their planet didn't have the makings of Federation material.
The Klingons could use this as propaganda
Season 2 Episode 17.
😮😊.
Why is star trek so based
This is how it has always been. How it should be.
One of those scenes that makes you ask, "This _is_ a future space travel series, right?"
Basically how STD works.
its how the real life galactic federation works too lol
