genius!

You can't fake the audience's applause at the end. After all, this show was done live. So maybe, at the time, it didn't seem quite as silly as it seems. That said, Shatner rocks.

You can feel the audience recoiing in horror and sinking into their seats wishing they were somewhere else.

The lack of audience reaction makes it SO uncomfortable.

Because I think Shatner is totally fucking around with this.

I wonder what he was smoking, especially the "high" thing.

[WhoCares1537]

I think stewies better

[TheLegendfamily]

That would be effing PRICELESS!!

[TheLegendfamily]

It's a roll-yer-own: didn't Shatner start smoking those because he's of the equestrian set?

[MrBennyboy970]
