Star Trek looks at Worf’s best one-liners from The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine

Star Trek looks at Worf’s best one-liners from The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine.

Worf is known for his Klingon charm in both in combat, in love, and his honesty. He’s a man of honor and believes in upholding not just the United Federation of Planets code of honor but his own internal code. He’s a man who loves hard and parties harder. If you consider fighting holograms to the death a party.

Personally, I do, but that’s just me.

He’s one of the most fun characters, but because he’s not. His brutal sincerity often puts him at odds with his more jovial friends. He doesn’t party, he doesn’t relax, he’s a Klingon. He waits patiently for his next mission and then goes full bore into it. It’s that type of personality that is often played for laughs but never at the expense of him as a character.

His deadpan reactions aren’t jokes, they are honest reactions based on his character, it’s just that he’s always on. In the middle of a battle with the Borg, if he screams “death to the opposition!”, you believe he intends on killing anyone and everyone in front of him.

Yet, in the middle of a friendly, pick-up game of baseball? Hilarious.

Because he’s always himself, the writers can have fun with characters like this without ever damaging his aura of him. He’s not a joke, he’s a fish out of water most times. So when you realize that he is still the scariest member of two shows, and he has the best one-liners, that’s completely believable.

Star Trek put together their favorite lines from Worf and we went a step further and put them in the order of least funny to funniest.
