Some of the most beloved episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series are laugh-out-loud comedies. Although the 1966-1969 series is often lauded for its ahead-of-its-time diversity and heady science fiction concepts, what all of this serious praise leaves out is that Star Trek was really fun, and often, quite funny. In fact, for decades, the most consistently cited fan-favorite episode of them all was David Gerrold’s 1967 romp, “The Trouble With Tribbles.” And when you start looking at some of the bright spots of TOS, more and more comedic episodes start cropping up. From “Shore Leave,” to “I, Mudd,” to “A Piece of the Action,” Star Trek is often hilarious.
