Star Trek V: The Restaurant Enterprise - Saturday Night Live 

Shatner played this to the full level! Totally brilliant. This whole skit was so well written. And Phil Hartman's Bones was perfect. A classic.

Just love how Shatner's never hesitated to caricature or make fun of himself as Capt. Kirk!

3:06 "Damn it, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a - oh, oh sure!" 🤣 Another perfect line delivery from Phil Hartman. We'll not see his like again.

Sulu is played by Akira Yoshimura who has been with the show from the beginning. He also played Sulu in the original Belushi as Kirk skit, 10 years prior. I love it when Khan tells him to turn around.

“Damnit Jim! Im a doctor not a- oh...” That got me haha

Everyone is over-acting at such a high level it makes Shatner seem restrained. This is comedy gold - so glad to find it!

"I want full relish, Mr. Sulu!" 😂

Most overlooked is that Shatner pulled this off live. You gotta respect the man.

How Shatner pulled this off without bursting out laughing at any point speaks well of his acting chops.

This is hilarious! William Shatner making fun of himself as Captain Kirk, Dana Carvey's overly dramatic Khan-speak, and Phil Hartman's Bones is bang on.🤣🤣🤣

Let's give some praise to the incomparable Dana Carvey as Kahn. Nailed it!

i love that william shatner is doing an over the top william shatner impression lol he did the impossible !

The best Shatner parody is Shatner himself. God I love this man

Massive respect to Dana Carvey. He managed to outham Shatner without (apparently) hurting himself. That puts him right up there with Plummer, Montalban, and Lloyd.

This was Snl gold. The other star trek parody with Dan Akroyd and John Belushi was fantastic but to have Shatner doing a parody of himself was hilarious.

I can't believe they missed the opportunity to parody the "Revenge is a dish best served cold" line, since they had "Khan" there already!

Dr McCoy: _"For God's sake Jim, be careful!"_ LMAO! (1:52) Rest in peace, Phil Hartman.

Shatner's willingness to relentlessly poke fun at himself is priceless.

I did not see this when it ran. One of the best skits that SNL did. Everyone seemed to have fun while making fun of the original show.

Dana Carvey as Khan - that killed me. "Kirk, I will be back in 3 months, and you will be...cited."

The one playing Kirk looks spot on

Shatner played his part excellently

Khan wearing a hockey glove makes it that much funnier.

RIP Phil Hartman. Genius.

The fact that this entire sketch is played straight is brilliant. It's like horrible fan fiction.

Phil Hartman could sell any character, he was brilliant.

Hilarious skit, everybody did a great job. Carvey walked in and EVERYbody knew whom he was portraying. "No sneeze guard on the salad BARRRR..."

LOL the late great Phil Hartman as Bones: "Dr. McCoy, this man needs medical attention." "Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor not a... oh... oh sure!"

Wow, Phil Hartman's Dr. Maccoy is solid. One of the best Bones impressions ever.

Did anyone else catch Spock calling the doctor "Captain" accidentally there at the first? 😂

This episode also included the lost ending of it's a wonderful life and the star trek convention. Definitely one of the top 10 SNL episodes ever.

Gotta hand it to William Shatner. He's just the greatest. He shines like a star. Thank you, sir. You have made this world a better place by your presence.

Say what you want, but Shatner puts a lot of effort into everything he does. He makes this skit perfect.

Love how Shatner played his role so straight. Bones: He's got us Jim. Kirk: Maybe, maybe not. Haha

So well done and funny. To see William Shatner all in on the spoof raised it to another level.

Shatner seemed to be having fun in this sketch

I just died at "I don't think she can take anymorrrrrrrrrrr" 😂

I always love a skit where the main guest pokes fun at his/her self. Bravo!

I miss this crew of performers. They were all so very good and talented. Didn't realize as much at the time.

This is still hilarious all these years later, even in 2021! Phil Hartman as Bones is bang on and priceless haha

The man is a legend! He was in full Shatner mode. There's no stopping him!

Shatner is a true professional and a survivor in real life and in the characters he plays. He always gives it his all.

Best Star Trek skit or parody that I've ever seen. Helps that it actually has William Shatner playing Captain Kirk. 😄

Never seen this before it’s wonderful, to see William Shatner having fun parodying what he’s most famous for. Beautiful thing!! Congratulations to all involved.👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️

Lol Dana Carvey’s Khan actually was quite good. And seeing Shatner go “Khan, it’s you!” Was hilarious.

Love how Shat just plays "Kirk" without any difference between the real show and this skit.

This is comedy gold. Shatner is being who he is, Kevin and Dana are awesome. 'Damnit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a Doct....Oh yeah, I'll get right on it." :P

"Ma'am, a Klingon is... A. Fried. Clam. Sandwich" Even in parody, the legendary Shatner pause is in there xD. Love this sketch to bits!

One of SNL's best sketches! "Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a...Oh!"

"Time heals all wounds." So gratifying to see Shatner finally come to terms with (and even enjoying) his being forever remembered as KIRK. It was just a role for him for so long, and he even resented it for holding him back as 'an actor' and in getting other roles. So very very few shows get to this level of 'legends'. He never did achieve every actor's dream of being a legendary thespian , but at least he achieved an even better goal... lifelong financial security/gigs/fame. This all aligned perfectly with SNL, who's brand of humor is built around mocking parody.

Spock mistakenly calls Bones, Captain at 1:15.

I'm a lifelong Trekkie and I've worked most of my life in restaurants / bakeries , and THIS is Spot-on in every regard ! ! !

"For God sake Jim... Be Careful!!" OMG sounded just like him. That was Hilarious, Phil Hartman truly a legend. Edit: "Damn it Jim, I'm a dr not a... oh oh sure" Lmao I CAN'T!!!!

*Not only is Shatner a true anomaly of actor talent, he demonstrates here how he is 'humble' and so 'confident' in himself.

An absolutely brilliant sketch. Wow, were the writers on fire in these seasons and Shatner and Hartman should have done a comedy together! “No sneeze guarrrrds on de salad bar!!” Hysterical

Makes me realize William Shatner would have been an amazing SNL cast member. They didn't have any older people in their cast, but he looks like he could carry any scene / skit.

I DID NOT know this skit was ever produced! Bravo!!

One of my favorites of all time. Just brilliant!

One of the best skits in SNL history. I miss the old shows and cast members.

William Shatner is perfect, even running the Enterprise as a floating restaurant!

William Shatner's such a good sport for doing this! Bone's was brilliant!

I love this era! Phil Hartman was likely the most talented character actor in SNL's history. William Shatner can sure make fun of himself!

I think it was so cool of Shatner to do this skit. He’s entertaining and professional as always. Live long Bill

Did anyone notice that Spock called Bones "Captain?"

I remember seeing this live and thinking "Kirk is old!". Now many years later I'm thinking "He's young in this one.

Dana Carvey brilliant as always!

I served in the Navy's Deep Submergence program on the DSRV-2 Avalon. The Avalon is now retired and on display at the Morro Bay Maritime Museum Museum. The Museum recruited me as a tour guide. This is exactly how I felt while giving tours on the very boat I once went to sea on

Well it's about freakin' time! I have been trying to find the Star Trek skit where Bones states, "Dammit, Jim...I'm a doctor not a...oh, yeah, right," for years! My life is now complete. Thank you, RU-vid algorithm.

long time SNL fan, I have never seen this.....it is an absolutely EPIC sketch. The glory years. Incredible cast.

This is a classic episode. Starts with ‘Ollie North, The Mute Marine’. We got this. The Trekkie convention and the sweet sisters!

"Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor not a.. oh.. yeah.. sure" made me cackle like a witch

Great detail on Victoria's Yeoman Rand wig. "25 YARS"

Hold on a sec! SNL used to be comedy?

I miss Phil Hartman. Doesn't matter who he played he always cracked me up.

Ah, Shatner. Love him or hate him (I love him), I think it's safe to say there will never be another quite like him.

This sketch may mark the last time Shatner ever wore the original captain's shirt on tv

i love dana nailing kahn perfectly and bill looking like he enjoyed making fun of himself and then there's phill SOMEWHERE you know d forest was laughing hard also

Awwwwseme cast this was, Like '85'-'86 & Brilliant Skit. Clever & Fuuuuny. R.I.P. PHIL & JAN💙🩵🙌🙏👏

I finally broke at Scotty's "I don't think she can take anymor-r-r-r-re!".

This is a solid skit! Good writing. Good acting. Shatner committed to it. Carvey is hilarious. Khan making fun of Sulu is a fun inside joke within the skit itself. This could actually be a good movie. It’s pretty dramatic while also being funny.

Shatner over-acted this to perfection. Makes me wish they had done more skits together like this. He looked like felt so at home with this crew.

As a huge Star Trek geek, this is so amazingly entertaining..

I remember watching this when it first aired. I was sitting on the floor in our livingroom when Shatner called out some convention goers for taking the whole Star Trek thing way too seriously. I was, at that exact moment in time, working on a scale model of the Enterprise D. The look on my wife's face was priceless.

Those digs at the actor playing Sulu were underrated 😂

Awesome. Seeing this for the first time. Seeing William Shatner parody the role 😂😂 And poor Sulu 😂😂😂

The trolling of Sulu had to be Shatner's idea.

"PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT SULU! I WANT FULL RELISH!" : )

stunning and underrated sketch

They should have had Sulu's actor say "Oh my...." when he was using those condiment pumps.

They missed a great opportunity. "Kayerk -- What do you call... this?" "Why. That's. a dish. we. named in your honor. We call it. 'Khan's Revenge'" "You fool! It's piping hot! Did you not know that revenge is a dish best served cold?"

Nealon/Spock made a mistake calling Hartman/Dr. McCoy captain... and in true professional form... they kept going and didn't drop character

I have watched SNL since the very beginning , and I must say that the years with Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman had the most consistently funny and entertaining skits.

The guy playing Sulu also played Sulu in an earlier SNL sketch with John Belushi as Captain Kirk

The music! Just like the show! Perfectly timed with the “dramatic” moments 😂😂😂

I hoped that when Shatner asked "Sulu" if he'd put on a little weight that "Sulu" was going to reply "Why, yes I have, Captain. Have you?"

I find it most illogical that at 1:15, Spock refers to Bones as "Captain".

Pretty funny, having the fleet get commercialized. During the part when Kirk was with Spock and McCoy, planning to pay off Kahns health inspector, they should have had the famous dramatic increasing tempo music that always accompanied action in the original series.

Anyone else think Janice Rand was spot on too? 😂

I remember watching this when it first came out, I still remember"No SNEEZE GAAARD on the SALAD BAHRR"

William Shatner is a legend... even in this comedy short you can see all the elements that made the original series the best version of Star Trek ... It makes me long for the original cast .
