    I think the only winner in this article is the cat.

    i belive the more apt comparison would be a few clips from star wars played along side a montage of lense flares from star trek. if no one has spliced together every lense flare sequence from star trek yet someone really should. there's a need there that the internet must fill.

    Well to be fair, Pike didn't know Kirk's father. And it was Spock who destroyed the ship. And he was raised by his mother and step father. And he actively didn't dream about outer space, he wanted to stay out of the federation. But other than that yeah I guess it's exactly the same.

    I heckle all during Star Trek, whispering to my sister: "He stole that from Whedon. He stole that from Star Wars-He stole that from Terminator!" So this is a funny video to me.


    Also, I didn't try not to laugh at the cat. It was frickin' funny!

    @Paul_Is_Drunk: I'd like to think so, lol. I didn't really want to see it so I heckled to increase my enjoyment; I also counted light flares! (225, give or take 40)

    @geesejuggler: Im with you. Whats the point of seeing a movie if I cant make snide remarks.


    And your lens flare count puts the kibosh on my lens flare drinking game--or it makes it awesome.

    Wow. That's tough. The underlying video in Belabras's entry actually laugh, while the underlying video in PacoHertez's entry did not.


    However, the actual use of the keyboard cat (may he R.I.P.), was much, much better in Paco Hertez's entry and made me laugh even harder than the Belabras' underlying video did.


    So...the quite solid video with essentially superfluous use of keyboard cat loses to lesser video with brilliantly timed introduction of keyboard cat.
