William Shatner's "Get a Life" promo

[mosquitobight]

Shatner was right. We all need to stop watching TV, listening to music, going to movies, reading, going on the Internet... get a LIFE! Stop cooking, cleaning, eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom, bathing, doing laundry... get a LIFE! Stop going to school, going to Church, getting jobs, making money, shopping... get a LIFE! Stop driving, cycling, playing sports, camping, vacationing... get a LIFE! Stop making friends, dating, getting married, having kids... get a LIFE!

Umm... what's left?

[1982Reagan]

wtf is up wit hthe banjo music just show the clip and stop the cuts.

[mrbriscoe2001]

gotta be careful with the heresy,Shatner..  Trekkies are more dangerous than the Muslim Brotherhood...

[coconutstaple]

The Shat is the SHIT! This needs to be aired EVERY NIGHT on public television to bring us all back to reality from where ever our dumbed down little brains happen to be at the moment. Like mine right now...watching youtube. I'm signing off...nighty night.

[ReaperRedeemer2112]

You morons do realize that if the actual skit was uploaded as it was aired on SNL then it would be taken down, right?

[TakeMeBackTo1986]

135 ppl pressed LIKE because the need to post the original skit and "GET A LIFE!" lol... its Star Trek geeks like YOU he was making fun of and he WAS making fun of you! I'm a casual fan, but not a Trekkie/Trekker, whatever u nerds call urslef... lol.... no offense to the GENUINE FANS who like the show but have a fucking brain in their head and know "ITS JUST A T.V. SHOW!"

[wineloveable]

I loved this. I thought the way you cut the skit up and added in other ST clips was brilliant. And I really can't see why so many people are crapping down on you. The only thing I would like to say however, I had no idea you were selling a game with this video. The selling feature could've been stronger. But I will definitely be watching this one again!! I love ST and this was hilarious and well put together.

[insipidman]

Shatner telling the fanboys to get a life was THE! greatest moment in SNL history that I personally have ever witnessed it was awesome! and more yet every single word he spoke was the truth even if it was scripted and planed the words were absolute solid cold hard piss you off truth

[a7laktkota]

Are you kidding??? Not only is this a cool video -- I loved the quality, it looked completely intentional to me, 'jumpy-screen' and all -- but it holds as much professionalism as half the junk on TV. Shatner himself saw it too, he certainly wasn't pissed (I'm serious, look up "WilliamShatner," I was watching his channel tonight and clicked here from there), so why are some ppl having a cow? It's a cool mashup. Maybe tha haterz aren't Trekkers. (Poor, sad folk indeed.)

lol

[treonbrevor]

@a7laktkota I looked it up, but couldn't find any link.. mind posting exactly where you found it?

[LambertFan27]

This is so funny!

I know for a fact he loves his fans and this was just an SNL sketch. I'm a big fan of Star Trek and William Shatner, but this was really funny!

[RollingOrmond]

Prefer the original skit. It stands on its own.

[ChiroVette]

Not for anything, but for all of you complaining about the edit of this, a version like this is the only version of this awesome Shatner skit that Youtube will allow on the site. Yes, you can find the video on Google, but that isn't the point. If you want to see this skit ON YOUTUBE then this is the way you have to post it, period. Why people are complaining about this is beyond me. I 'm grateful that treonbrevor was clever edit it just enough so that it would not be removed. GREAT JOB!

[ExploreDestination]

SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mthai66]

With this skit, Shatner launched the modern era.

[3dartistguy]

Shatner was so right back then and HE"S STILL RIGHt!

[WILLIAMCOOKE]

I just want to see the sketch! Where is IT!?

[PhillyLucky7]

So true. lol

[RockAndRollMassacre]

bite the hand that feeds

[geeque10101]

You did a great job of butchering a great skit. If it was an "editing project" you should have kept it to yourself and not posted it. You know people are going to click on it to see the real video, you're just like that ignorant guy in the mask that lures people to his youtubes!

Now I didn't mean anything by this- it was just a "thought" (that I posted).

[davidgrahamscott]

@geeque10101 The guy in the mask is banned now I thought...if it's the same guy I thought he was quite funny

[K9FON]

I dont know whats worse (geeky) a Trekkie convention or a hamfest.

[CaptGage]

Some people need to lighten up. Not just about Trek (as always), but the editing. As for traveling 100s of miles to attend a convention, I wouldn't mind.

[paladindarknite]

funny part when you see shatner arguing in the background and later apologizes, when i first this i was like wtf? is he for real? that sure pissd off alot of pple, can care less for the fans!

[SashaNein]

Baby's first Windows Movie Maker video. God dammit

[ZkinandBonez]

I feel sorry for Shatner, those few sentences will haunt him for the rest of his life.

[LaurieJames]

why do people ruin a video with stupid fuckin music

[SharpesAccomplice]

I think the NBC will take it down otherwise.

[DLPBurke]

@LaurieJames because they are stupid.

[LenonHonorFilms]

-lol

[robdsires]

That was some funny ass shit I just witnessed!!! That was the funniest SNL Shatner 'Star Trek' sketch I've ever seen! It was more real and what makes it funny is it was straight to the point!lolol

[ratm2112]

LOL i love Shatner !!!!!!

[Feadpool2112]

It's funny how someone had the time to remix this video...get a life treonbrevor.

[chalkyboy180]

Sorry but what is it with people doing remixes of classic things on youtube?

I wanted to find a version of this where i could just watch it and enjoy it but instead i have the version edited by the dukes of hazzard!

Just leave it alone. You've made it worse, its not funny anymore coz you break it up all the time and you really need to get out more if this is what you do in your spare time.

[wookie72]

Sadly. I don't think the original is available here. If this is the only version available, that's okay.

[Jawa115]

So True.

[invincibleironman3]

yeah, I forgot that Shatner didnt ACTUALLY say it, but its implied in some instances because Shatner went on to do TJ Hooker, and other shows while the rest of the cast (including the more talented Nimoy) declined...

[ob1benji1]

Can't help it. It's a good show.

[WallyWadeMovies]

I love this. Who better to put it in perspective than shatner. I used to draw comics but i gave it up. Good way to promote your indie stuff is to go to comic book stores. Let me tell you that "fanboys" can get pretty fucking annoying. So much so that they even scrutinize me and my friends. They would ask about my own collection. And people that know me, know i don't collect comics. I was an art student. Boy, they heard that; they fucking harp like crazy. There are fans and then there's fanboys

[Credithelper75]

The best quote he said was..."How about you, have ever even kissed a girl?"' LMAO!! We were just rollin. ;-)

[Credithelper75]

I remember when this first aried on SNL....we laughed our asses off. It was so funny. Its still funny today.

[AllisterCooper2008]

Ha, I remember this too when it first came out :). I recall he also added, 'You are the lamest bunch of...' What a laugh.

[curtiscrush]

I adore this ! LOL. Not a Trekkie but the skit is legendary.

[makiezs]

Youre kidding.. DS9? Blasts it out of the water?... DS9 was total drivel! If you want a good psycho-religious scifi, you should be reading Dune.

TNG FTW!

[BCSWowbagger]

I've never seen a good RPG ad on YouTube before. This C.O. of the Excelsior-C salutes you for being the first. GG.

[BR01097]

Great sequence--I'd heard about this when it came out on SNL? in the eighties, but never saw it until now. It's a great sketch, but this montage with the bluegrass music sucks. Editing is lightning-fast cuts which miss all the reactions and build-up. It fails as a promo.

[gillianisyourbestie]

hahahahahahha STAR TREK ppl are nerds.... PERIOD... People who spend that much time watching elfs in tight clothes flying in a space ship.... idk about you, but im thinkin smg is wrong there....

[slitheen]

I tell you what makes me laugh.....people telling Trekkies to "get a life". The image is of a nerd with no social life or friends, yet they congregate in clubs and conventions and enjoy themselves with like-minded people. They also do an enormous amount of charity work - in keeping with the ideals of the shows....i.e. bettering society/mankind.

Anyone who has seen the two 'Trekkies' documentary DVD's will know they have social lives, friends and enjoy themselves enormously. Is that not living?

[bleachyw]

I'll tell you what makes me laugh... you and your flippin' spamming, stop pasting that goddamn comment.

[slitheen]

Actually, idiot, I posted that comment just TWICE. The same comment for two videos because it was relevant for both. Not everyone would see both vids, you happened to......so what, deal with it... two Identical posts does not equal SPAM.

[bleachyw]

How could I have known that that comment wasn't on dozens of videos I didn't see. Also calling me an 'idiot' is way too hostile a reaction, you need to calm down.

[slitheen]

So you assumed it was on "dozens" of videos because you saw it twice? You accused me of spamming.....the worst of all Netiquette abuses.....you deserved the comment you got in return.

[dbohls]

bleach...I've gotta agree with slitheen. You see the comment twice, assume it is spam, tell slitheen to "stop pasting that goddamn comment," and then accuse him/her of overreacting. WTF? You probably won't do this, but examine yourself. We're all wrong sometimes; I repsect people who can admit it.

[bleachyw]

I suppose I was wrong on the assumption that he was a spammer, yes I'll admit that.

Let's bury the hatchet here. Let's all agree that DS9 is the best Star Trek series and season 3 of TOS is cack. hehehe

[dbohls]

Sweet, I'm currently making my way through the originals. I'll have to check out DS9, but it'll be hard pressed to beat TNG :)

[bleachyw]

DS9 blasts TNG out of the water :P

[googie7777]

me too!!! loved the get a life sketch...how come there's no original?!!!

[martini1179]

Right?

[aquaristic]

Ok, so, your saying...we need to pay more attention to the movies?

[marcparella]

No, it's not just a tv show. It's a religion and these poor folks have nothing in the lives. They have replaced Jesus with Jim Kirk. No hope for humanity... And to think I am like the only person who shows up at a Cosmos convention.

[SpeargunHDTV]

I replaced Jesus with Hannah Montana! Hail Satan! Jesus Christ is overrated!

[marcparella]

Star Trek Fans and the Religious Right will one day become one and the same. The end is near.

[sidearmsalpha]

Wish someone would put up the original sketch.

[googie7777]

me too! can't find it anywhere ~ it was a great sketch!!!

[ronniepage]

he's awesome.

[CaptGage]

It was still an amusing show, plus some people have said that football is their life! This kind of show is just one of my interests, and I'm American (free country and all).

[ronniepage]

well theres a difference, many people ACTUALLY PLAY FOOTBALL. i don't suppose you have a spaceship in your backyard.

[CaptGage]

No, just hobbies, opinions and imagination. To each his own. Don't need an actual spaceship.

[treonbrevor]

People, get a life, will you? This was a simple editing project I did for my own purposes. The original I used, btw, was of extremely bad quality. If you want to see the original, go find it yourselves. Cussing at me will not make it magically appear. Had you asked nicely, I might have posted a link.

[Xero328]

Nice editing job. don't see the link to your fleet, wouldn't mind checking it out. People have a whole lot of differeing opinions man. Point is they watch it and comment. Doesn't matter what they say really, take what you want from whichever posts you want man. I don't see them ripping the work you put into it, which is all that really would bother me. Yeah, the gammafleet thing would be cool to see so send me a link or address man.

[vduke]

@treonbrevor haha you are fucking hilarious. I love it!

Migely is too serious.

Perhaps they had just done anal for the first time with a bad partner and tensed up?

[migely]

I would never go to your gammafleet website after watching how you turned a hilarious sketch into pure annoyance and boredom. Did you have your eyes open when you created this video? Are you so lame that you thought this was entertaining? Loser.

[treonbrevor]

Good, I wouldn't want you there.

[martini1179]

Bad form, bad form.

[puchifox]

c'moooon¡¡¡ you ruined all the sketch with your editing...¡¡¡ leave the entire sketch...OR GET A LIFE¡¡¡....

[wordsmi999]

Someone had to say it, and who better than him? ^_^

[Links1776]

Listening to William Shatner talk trash about Star Trek brings a tear to my eye. It's like listening to a wise philosopher like Socrates tell it like it is.

[Dmasterman]

Interestingly, during an interview on the sketch. Shatner said that during this sketch he actually was saying how he felt about the whole star trek nerds thing.

[asmith84]

you ruined it just show the sketch

[Daikini0]

William Shatner for prezident!

[turpin77777777]

Agreed with armourdog, will the real 'will shatner on snl' please stand up?

[armourdog]

Can anyone post an ACTUAL clip of this sketch...it was brilliant without some douchebag editing it and laying banjo music over it....jerkoff.

[turpin77777777]

Agreed with armourdog, will the real 'will shatner on snl' please stand up?

[cmsahe]

Does he mean that we should pay more attention to the movies?

[xxNailFirexx]

besides im 14. im not gettin laid till im MARRIED.

[DreamkeeperNW]

Well said! The world could use more integrity like that. Good for you.

[ModelMan1987]

Male Or Female

[xxNailFirexx]

what kind of kwestion is that?

[ModelMan1987]

Curious About Asking The "Question" Because If Your A Female Than Thats Beautiful....Your A Male That Very Beautiful But Hard So Just Rooting U On!i!i

[xxNailFirexx]

nailfire's the name of my band, you dork

[xxNailFirexx]

God, those nerds PISS ME OFF!!!

Amen, shatner. GET A F***ING LIFE!!!!!!!

[adrianrowe1973]

with a name like NAILFIRE and some one going on you tube you need to get a life !!!!!

Ill bet you have never been laid

[prilstrudel]

Captain Kirk rulez!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

THIS IS FUNNY. One of these days I will have one that will blow your mind.

[diggidy337]

this is absolutely one of the funniest skits ever. i had friends who were trekkies, and i would hit them over the head with this ALL the time.

[raveydaveygravy73]

This is one of the funniest sketches of all time. I'm from the UK and I vividy remember seeing this in my youth. Shame it keeps getting pulled.

[Musicbyveronica]

well done

[SURFUR]

I'd like to see the actual SNL clip straight. Could someone please put it up?

[Souther100]

Great joke!

[ArmoredPanther]

Is this the only way the video can stay up without YouTube yanking it down again? Great video!

[truthonymous]

What do you mean youtube yanks it down

[ArmoredPanther]

I have seen this up several times with great clarity, but it's always taken down by YouTube for some reason.

[Efrasnel]

Yes that s*cks , don't it? Always want to show people this and it always disappears. It has come to the point that people refer to the SNL sketch as something that really happened and there's no way of denying this with actual proof. Ah well, at least I know...

[kitsunelady]

nah, he did this over 10 years ago and most of us found it quite funny. It was just a skit on SNL and really funny (and sadly true!). All of us loved it.

[SabrinaMessenger]

lol. years ago, I used to work at a video store and I remember a customer talking about that SNL episode in front of another customer a die hard trekkie and the trekkie was just shaking he was sooo angry...hmmm...

[ZburatorWolf]

Sounds like that guy had some problems. haha

[benvye]

Maybe this is why Shatner didn't get a part in the new movie??

[MrEmoMassacre]

geeks are way cooler than jocks

[ThomWithKawliga]

both are gay

[Tikitiki200]

hahaha!

[maj1986]

people are people this was just for fun

[CaptGage]

I agree 110%!

[CaptGage]

Quite a refreshing comment.

[Theway2k]

Okay I'm a trekkie and I still enjoyed this.

:-)

[aguamaniac]

You're so right. The point is at heart us Trekkie's are geeks! thats the fun of it all.

[CaptGage]

Fun is the key word, and I agree with The Way2k as well as you! That was the first time I heard someone say get a life was back then!

[wesker75]

Treon - you start to frighten me. That about to be ART ;-)
