Video: Eddie Izzard on “Star Trek”
“Star Trek” Week continues here at BAM’s Blog, and today I’m sharing a snippet of “Trek”-related hilarity from one of my favorite comedians, Eddie Izzard.
In his 1994 stand-up video “Unrepeatable,” Izzard performs an uproarious bit about the original “Trek” TV series. In it, he makes fun of Dr. McCoy’s overly dramatic speeches, imagines what would happen if someone from the Enterprise’s accounting department joined a landing party and suggests other settings for phasers besides just boring ol’ stun and kill. (I particularly like the “ice cream van nearby” setting.)
The video is from YouTube, and I highly recommend renting, or better, buying “Unrepeatable.” The bit continues some bad language.
