RARE EARLY STAR TREK COMMERCIAL AD

[ItchythaWookiee]

Riker, get the f*ck off the line.

[SpockNation]

@MuffinsDawsontv I know, right? I can't get enough of Nimoy's gorgeous smile! -3

[TheJokerzGirl]

Jonathan Franks (Lt. Riker) busting in on the original old school, bad ass Star Trek crew.....not wise my friend.

Capt'n Kirk karate chop!!!

Spok Vulcan nerve pinch YOUR ASS!!!

Live long and prosper TO HELL FOOL!!!

[MuffinsDawsontv]

0:21 & 0:51

Adorable. Absolutely Adorable <3

[InClaraVoce]

I joined to save the 20% because when I call HIM I end up talking to an answering machine, which is more interesting than he is.

[AelTheRomulan]

Riker... O_o I love the dialouge the Original cast got. Riker looks disturbingly like my trombone teacher...

[mbozzo2002]

I wonder how MCI was able to get the cast of the original series as well as Jonathan Franks to appear in that funny commercial.

[Sailorsega]

@mbozzo2002 MCI paid them. Now you can die happy.

[eaglesgogirl]

riker in there??? hahahaa

[Phd12741]

so MCI really liked TNG the best...

[BMassey1987]

Damnit Frakes....

[kaiban42]

whatever happend to MCI?....

8)

[tdrewman]

@kaiban42 acquired by Verizon Communications

[Alan123123123]

what year is this?

[DivideByZeroGetCake]

Yes, Riker really is that awesome.

[MoonarEclipse]

LOL RIKER

[CapyGuy]

You have to wonder if they really did like each other or if that's all staged.

[FPAlpha]

@CapyGuy:

Unofficial reports state that some actors really didn't get along that well during their days on Star Trek.. especially Shatner seemed to be an ass. What they do here is called acting :)

[Calenmarwen]

@CapyGuy Watching interviews seems to be a good way to find out. Some liked each other, some didn't.

[JOmonkeyJO]

LOL NUMBER 1!

[talkinsirius1408]

What the hell? Riker?! lmao, way to be a sore thumb. haha.

[TheLonelyForce]

Nimoy is a sexy beast.

[sinteiropao]

ライカーも。

[TJae1]

how per hour ~

[andrewstartrekmario]

GOOD GOD, RIKER?!?!?!?!?!?!? OMG!!!!

[nextgeneration456]

That was funny

[littlemegamonkey]

was Patrick Stewart busy or something?

[KizulEmeraldfire]

@littlemegamonkey

Of course not — he just had his Number One do it FOR him. :)

[imtheonlysane1here]

Leonard Nimoy would have made an awesome college professor.

[murphygirl85]

why she send me this shit!!!!! lol

[jonesphillip25]

Sadly bones and scooty are dead but where the crap did Riker come in?

[PurpleOptics82]

I watched a lot of tv back in the day... how in the HELL did I miss this commercial???

[nextgeneration456]

lol that was cool and funny riker comes out of no where wow love it

[Precept53]

Thanks for posting'

[ThyArtIsMetal]

how did he get in here, frakes is the man

[Deep1Purple2]

This is highly illogical!

But fascinating :D

[treksf]

Awesome spot!

[rjb1216]

this was circa 1993

[lst1195]

I just met Nichelle Nicoles in Orlando a few months back, what a CLASSY lady!

[RikkytheCoolKat]

You are in the wrong circle dammit! XD

[lardcarcass]

What the hell are they all holding?

[elvis3700]

@lardcarcass Its call...The Telephone!!!!

[fgldnglbs]

This was like that copier commercials with castmembers from M.A.S.H. I think David Ogden Stiers AND Wayne Rogers were in those commercials.

Either a plug for the latest Star Trek production or yet another indicator of its cultural impact.

I also remember MCI's Grammercy Press series. I wonder how many students wanted to work in a publishing house after that campaign?

[Bardlettt]

*sniff* aw, DeForest!

[cannedcarrots]

@Bardlettt i almost cried reading your comment i miss him so much im going to the Manns Chinese theater in Hollywood to see were he signed his name is the cement i cant meet him now but putting my hand were his once was is the next best thing :'(

[stads24]

That is awesome overload!!!!!

[internetalumni]

GTFO MY CIRCLE ASSHOLE.

[trollheimer]

wtf gtfo, Riker.

[summer20105707]

Instant favorite. Thanks for the upload. Ha Ha Haaaaa LOL ROFL

[problematicalien]

THIS IS SO AMAZING.

I wouldn't mind if Frakes pops out of nowhere on the phone. I really wouldn't.

[xGAARAxGIRLx]

JFrakes is the MAN

[Dellta88]

This is great

[pkaye87]

This makes my day happy! Leonard Nimoy = AWESOME!

[Luigi84289]

Hey it's Deforrest! Tragedy he died so long before anybody else on the show.

[thenightturtle]

omg what the hell

[mantas1111000]

Wait, Riker with TOS crew?

They've needed to include Picard! He would need to tell:

"You say you have a mission to boldly go, where no man has gone before, but damn, none of you are bald!"

[Supenmanu]

@mantas1111000: You would tell a group of people that include WILLIAM SHATNER "None of you are bald"??????

[DeliriousGoomba]

YEAH JONATHAN FRAKES

[valjazz]

Oh, this is soo cool! Thanks for posting.

[Trisscarr]

Thought this was the kfc ad, lawl

[g4bandit]

wtf riker????

[bamapagedesign]

Woot for 0:33!

[gnaaade]

early? what do you mean by "early"??

[megaplexnews]

Great commercial.....too bad MCI is no more. Ahh....lan lines...

[WTC7WasPulled]

I am going to join MCI friends and family.

[Nash1a]

If I had ever seen this, I would have signed up for MCI no doubt!!!

This is freakin hysterical!

[1990SuperGeek]

Where's Picard?

[Tacom4ster]

LOL Riker, Did this predates Generations?

[vccstudents]

@Tacom4ster Yes.This was originally a Super Bowl commercial, but I don't know the year. It was before "Generations" hit the screen.

[Luigi84289]

@vccstudents It was in the 80's I can tell.

[DarkKnightBob1o1]

AHAAHAHAHAAHAA we're raking in money in exchange for our souls!! AHAHAHAHAA

[spinjector]

wow.

[kissmybuttdimple]

and then.....MCI took a phaser shot to the balls....

[ajcusn]

@kissmybuttdimple More precisely... they were assimilated.

[karaoket]

@kissmybuttdimple I'm laughing so hard I can't catch my breath! ROFL! Looks like MCI and 6 people did as well!!! ROFLMAO!

[Momo6756]

Haha! Hilarious! Loved the part with Jonathan Frakes!

[Nani101]

Aaaand... Bones and Spock are still having that back and forth xD

[MaryMcEaster]

LOVE this.

[MaryMcEaster]

I love this!!!!

[lowaces]

man they should have phone plans for parrots

[MischievousPuppy]

....that's adorable.

Damn, Nichols was still looking fine!

[Tweekki]

i love it how Frakes steals the show (or commercial)

[greg5566]

@Tweekki Oh you should post that video so we can see it.

[breacat]

MCI. Now there's a company I haven't heard about in a long time.

[mjdub05]

Can't decide who is sexier: Jonathan Frakes or Leonard Nimoy?

Shatner should be ashamed to even show his face next to those two. =)

[legoackbar]

@mjdub05 Shatner's fat and Leonard Nimoy looks like he did 40 years ago

[DancingSpiderman]

@legoackbar No , not yet... this was the transition year between the slender Shatner and the fat Shatner. Hamburger Head had not yet occurred.

[SuperJJx]

0:30

Shatner"when they formed the circle they obviously saved the best for last"

John"oh thats why she called me next"

Kelly "who is that?"

Shatner"how did he get in here?"

Nimoy"there seems to be some error"

Shatner"I belive you´re in the wrong circle"

*applause* LOLs*

Haha cool :D

[chiisuchi1102]

omg i love this so much i have to watch it again. 0:20 made my life

[landcommander1981]

Uhura got better with age- so beautiful! ROFLing when Frakes showed up

[THEJ0KES0nBatsy]

00:20 SPOCK IS AWESOME IN ANYTHING

[SnarkLicker]

First, De's awesome is trancendent and everyone else can eff off.

Second, third, and fourth, Frakes is god, Frakes is god, and Frakes is god.

[waitingfor2008]

Ahahahaha!!! I couldn't stop laughing when Jonathan Frakes showed up. Win!!!

[RedDawnJensen]

0:33 Came in my pants when John came up!

[instereovideos]

Riker can't get no respect.

[Swordsquire]

LOL!!! Awesome!

[AH21NZ]

wow i remember this ha ha

[Southblaine]

I miss seeing them all together. Funny how Franks got in their.

[kirok2011]

you relize jonathon frakes is the only cast member with the original crew hence this commerical the next gen crew voyager episode death wish ds9 episode the defient and enterprise the very last episode and thanks for sharing this video

[SirCasval]

@kirok2011 Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want do look more like commercial?

[instereovideos]

@SirCasval wtf did you just say

[kirok2011]

@instereovideos i am wondering that myself

[kirok2011]

@SirCasval okay what was the question

[RedDawnJensen]

@kirok2011 You made me laugh my fucking head off with that comment. Im not sure what it means but Im giving it a thumbs up just so other people might be able to see it.

[BlakeMason2]

Is there still an MCI???

[chickenlight]

@BlakeMason2 Verizon owns them now

[Robtseward]

Funny

[rikk06]

love it!

[enemyofbohemia]

Hahaha, how delightfully charming!

[Titanium0X]

"YES! FRONT ROW!"

btw this is SO wrong

[RocheanSkywalker]

It's really awesome being able to watch the whole group...Plus Riker. (Gawd he just pops up everywhere when you least expect it like Q XD). Especially since Doohan and Kelley aren't among the living. I still love them though!

[insaneforstuff254]

This is a great commercial, and it somehow manages NOT to feel like a sell out.

Maybe because it puts the awesomeness of the original cast above whatever product they're advertising.... as they damn well should! XD

[xBeatCity]

Christ, Nimoy. How do you stay so damn sexy?

[Dargonhuman]

@xBeatCity Seriously. I'm a completely hetero guy, but if Nimoy showed up on my doorstep with a box of condoms and a proposition, I'd be like, "Ta hell with the condoms!"

Well, maybe not. My girlfriend wouldn't like me doing that, but if he did that to her, I'd be like, "Have fun sweetie!"

[xBeatCity]

@Dargonhuman Well, how generous of you! :D

Lol.

[Dargonhuman]

@xBeatCity Yea, well, she thinks he's kinda goofy looking and wouldn't go for it anyway. But hell, if she wanted to...

[simpsonsfan89]

so was this a super bowl commercial because it feels like one.

[jihadacadien]

LOL Frakes! awsome!

[McMahonHater]

I agree, the bit with Riker was cool.

[Neurotoast]

@jihadacadien LOL, you go, Riker! xD

[monkeyjb1988]

EPIC! Loved how everyone from the original series was there, plus extra. Absolutely great.

[maloneymallory]

This is awesome, but I was convinced it was a parody commercial up until the very end.

[KyuubiBloodSucker]

haha. Leonard Nimoy is hilarious. I can't believe they got Ricker in on the calls.

[kamwrites]

Oh that is SO going on my favorites list!!!!!!!!!!!

[cyberebel]

That's awesome!! :)

[XemnasLFSolidor]

Riker FTW! "Who's that?"

LMAO!

[companiontwo]

I don't know? Can you love those people anymore than we already do? They were the best of times IN the worst of times. RIP Bones & Scotty.

[Luigi84289]

This was cool. Looks like it's from the late 80's.

[tuzmor]

sad perversion of artists by corporations

[BambiValentine09]

I love Leonard Nimoy's smile at the end.

[yamihoole]

MCI, dude! Now thats really vintage

[drszusz666]

Who's the guy at 0:12 right after George Takei?

[captainkane1984]

@drszusz666 - Walter Koenig (Mr. Chekov)

[drszusz666]

Ah I see. Haven't made it that far into the series yet.

[MouseholesRose]

Go Riker!! Get in there with the older generation and show them what they''re missing! :P

[Adelaidey]

Gotta love a surprise Riker!

[mikkibug93]

awesome! lol

[readinghypnotist]

Frakes joining in with the original crew, just like that "Futurama" episode! lol!

[edusuntrebor]

@readinghypnotist

Who knows, maybe that episode was written in obscure reference to this XD

[Kickylou22]

it would be better if when they were talking on the phone the people wouldnt clap clap after. awesome tho!

[kwdblade]

lol go riker

[goldenthoth]

thanks 4 the post! it was beyond epic!!!

[melchomp]

i just watched this three times in a row, and cryed harder and harder everytime..

gah, im such a trekkie..

[kinyune]

THIS IS SO FRIKKEN EPIC, riker pops in and thier all like: "wtf? gtfo."

[TRUMPER007]

Great advert - must be from around 1990/1?

[sbmrunning]

fuckin youtube rocks man............i've NEVER seen this commerical and it ROCKS ALL THE WAY TO THE WINNER CIRCLE ! MAAANNN ! whoever put this commercial together should get an award! and youtube is the heavens sent site to allow me to see this ! DAMN i might consider getting the service just off the strength of this commercial ! lol thanks ! I BELEIVE HE'S IN THE WRONG CIRCLE ! LOL ! ahahahahahahaaaaaa !

[moonymuch]

Random Riker appearance = win. Especially when Shatner says he's in the wrong circle. :D

[thetank8472]

rofl

[Algren334]

Wow, I actually remember this...god, I can't even remember how long it's been since I saw this!

[verbusen]

The days prior to the internet being big, the telephone (corded even!). Thats nice that everybody got a piece of that ad dollar action, good for them!

[AttemptedAnime]

this just made my life.

:)

[LiviJones]

The thing on everybody's mind... WHAT THE HELL IS RIKER DOING HERE?

Haha, I heart them all so much.

[hypnometal]

Obviously, he's the best! :-D

[alexfanx]

OH SHIT, it's Riker!

[FarrenfollowsBen]

omg i can't believe i remember this!!!

[gaaruto88]

"-Cause when I call HIm, I end up talking with an answering machine, which is more interesting than HE is!"

McCoy n' Spock bantering FTW! XD

Gosh, it's SO weird to watch Nimoy laugh and smile after all those episodes/movies... <3

[ReneeK1980]

@gaaruto88

I feel the same way!  It is weird. :-)

[SuperSaiyanJoseph]

hahaha, they can never afford Patrick Stewart.

[alexfanx]

He's was probably too busy doing Shakespeare.

[Trisscarr]

@SuperSaiyanJoseph Would have been funny if Patrick Stewart popped in and they were all like wtf, gtfo!

[talktob3cks]

Ooh! Sign me up! I'll the circle!

[madcapromanian]

This may be the last time George Takei ever phoned William Shatner! LOL!

[verbusen]

Yeah if you believe that "fued" is for real. I think it is made up and gives them something to talk about in their

over-exposed (Shatner)/under-exposed (Takei) TV lives.

[mjdub05]

@madcapromanian - BAZINGA!

[BoxOmorons]

SPOCK YOU WILLIAM SHATNER!!

teehee

[fgldnglbs]

Yes, MCI, remember them: "You're not talking too much; you're just paying too much."

Kathy Lee:(profuse list of relatives).

Rege: I got an uncle in Tuckahoe!

How long ago was this one, '90 something?

[Grykus7]

Haha! Shatner's ego fail.

[InsertZipCode]

<333 I freaking love them. They'll never age to me~

[Deathmitekillers]

Didnt james and william have a bit tension during star trek. Why would they be calling each other? This is really good though. Leonard and Deforest kelley are great.

[DSmith99000]

actually it was shatner and nimoy. nimoy was getting more attention than shatner at the time.of original show

[DarthxxRane]

xD Oh my goodness who ever thought that idea up is my best friend.

I love how Riker just appears out of nowhere and everyone else is like, "Who the heck is that?"

[xXBrokenUchihaXx]

THAT'S ADORABLE!

[rayjay99]

funny

[LadyJuse]

YEAS!

[uzamaki19]

so great! i love them all :D

[StephenThomsonMoore]

I love it!

[babyinblack]

wow that's awesome lol!

[hugh750]

I remember this commercial, LOL!

[fso520]

lol funny!

[JediStrifeVII]

That's cute <3

[Gatoboy15]

It's funny that Riker pops from out of no where. It's also bad that Majel Barrett Roddenberry died months ago. What voice would they use for the next new movie. I wish Paramount would do another Star Trek show & have the time be around 24??. I think the ship should have that Slipstream Drive & the armor plating from Voyager. That would be cool.
