This is the kind of humor The Orville was born to address.

/c/TenForward: 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.

Lower Decks could have a scene like that too
(i try to add to your comment, not discredit it...)
True, but The Orville had no culture-destroying WWIII, 20th-century pop culture survived in that future.
How would Trek Humans in the 24th century know about Chuck E. Cheese? Those Humans barely remember baseball.
Only makes me wonder what the jamboree bears did to get Disney's ire (outside of the "country bumpkin" comparisons and the bomb movie released in '02). Not that it's too difficult to tell... just would like to see their justification.
Me too. I feel like Disney has a corporate culture that prioritizes throwing their weight around first and figuring out a justification after the fact, but they still have to generate some kind of "plausible" excuse for legal purposes, nonsensical as they might be.
The has got to be one of the funniest Star Trek memes I’ve seen lmao
"used pizza"
I think I saw that on Last Week Tonight.
Aww, I was hoping something would happen when I clicked on the switch or something.
Used pizza?
They're referring to the odd shape of the pizza slices. Even when all of the pieces are together, it looks like it's pieces from other pizza.
In reality, it's cause they're pizza slicers are designed to be dull. So, they have to really rock them back and forth to cut the pizza, causing the odd shapes.
Lol the designed to be dull excuse always sounded like they were too cheap to pay for someone to sharpen it every 4-6 months.
From the horror stories I've read on old Reddit, this is likely a deliberate decision to keep sharp objects out of the hands of table servers. It's for everyone's safety. Everyone.
Perhaps not the freshest of ingredients, is what they mean.
