Captain, Why don't the guys on South park quote Star Trek and pretend it was Jesus anymore?

>>89659214

They didn't pretend they honestly got the two confused because they where still kids and not 20 something hipster douches

This is inherently false. Star Trek fucking rules.

>>89659669
No, it doesn't and hasn't for years. These days it's just a second rate Star Wars even, can't get much lower than that.

>start watching OG startrek on netflix
>didnt realize all the south park episodes that copied star trek
>just pretend star trek is referencing south park

A terrible Star Trek.

In the episode, Michael Dorn would speak, then Cartman would correct him, by adding "Captain," to the beginning of the sentence, thus causing Michael to repeat the whole sentence like the character Worf.

>"Captain, this whole thing is ridiculous."

>No, it doesn't

Spoken like a pleb who has never seen Star Trek.

Never gets old.

Star Trek was the type of thing Matt and Trey probably grew up watching and where familiar with, but as time went on the ST they knew no longer became as relevant to the younger audience of their show, so they where forced steadily decrease using it and try and go onto more modern references. Unfortunately they're not as well versed in newer pop culture so these references are less subtle; albeit Matt and Trey are better than most show runners at this stuff.

Its like when you watch older Family Guy episodes and there's much more references to 50's-70's pop culture and you can tell Seth Mcfarlane was more into that stuff because the references where more obscure, but as the show went on the went into more general 80's and beyond references everyone would get. It used to be FG would drop references to obscure sitcoms and shows and movies from then , now unless they're going for pure absurdity they mostly stick to references that are still in circulation as far as pop culture is concerned.No one talks about old game shows much anymore, for example, but Transformers is still relavent.

Nah, people used to not give a fuck about Star Trek, but interest has been renewed. The new movies did really well, and there's going to be a new show.

> ST failed because it wasn't pop culture enough.
But the themes it focused on (racism, war, society, gladitorial combat) were timeless...

>>89661325
Generally speaking there weren't many nostalgic Family Guy TV references beyond the '60s. The "That Girl" one is one of the oldest and most obscure.
