That is annoyingly well done. Some of those bounces themselves are funny as fuck, nevermind the entire concept. I can't tell if my favorite is when it bounced off Picards shoe or when it just slid across the table.

Yeah, someone put in some good work here.

No kidding. Kinda reminds me of those Star Trek InTakes.

It took me two or three to realize these are completely fake

Deanna's expression when it slides past her is perfect

It is very consistent and nicely done. The style is quite comic, so now I'm also picturing an alternate deadpan version with accurate physics simulation where the combadge just clunks to the floor.

Table for me.

Side of the Meme Ship LOL 420 hull fills the screen, makes a slow turn and drifts into the middle of view slowly flying away at impulse speed ..... powers up meme engines and hits argyle speed

This has old internet vibes, I love it

I miss seeing random compilations like this all over

I had no idea that was "The Picard Maneuver". I always assumed it was something like a bad ass evasive spaceship maneuver like in Top Gun where Mavericks like "we're gonna hit the brakes and they'll fly right by."

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

There's the in-universe Picard Maneuver, which is actually an attack maneuver he used against the Ferengi when he was the captain of the Stargazer (TNG: The Battle). But this video shows the most used, most seen-on-screen Picard Maneuver.

The "Picard Maneuver", (TNG, Season

Spoiler1, Episode 9
)
Spoileris a short warp jump that causes the enemy vessel's light-speed limited sensors to detect your ship in 2 positions at once.
However Picard tucking his shirt away like that also got the nickname "Picard Maneuver", because funny ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Sry, I am to dumb to use spoiler correctly

There also exists the Riker Manoeuvre, which refers to the way Riker sits in a chair by stepping over the back side.
