Yeah, that Nimoy video is just about the worst thing of its kind that was ever done. Blood-chillingly awful. It doesn't help that Nimoy actually can sing...to a point...he stays fairly well on key. No, it would have been much, much funnier if done by Shatner.
Now, here's Kevin Pollack doing some great standup comedy of Star Trek. He plays William Shatner, in the role of James T. Kirk. Shatner, however, has been placed in an unexpected situation. Due to the other cast members holding out for more cash...or whatever...their roles have been taken by various genuine celebrities of the movie and TV industry of the time (sometime in the 80's, it would appear. The results are hilarious, and Kirk is very confused by how his crew is acting.
Chekov gets played by Robin Williams, doing his "Mork" routine from Mork and Mindy.
Spock gets played by Peter Falk, acting like he does when he plays Columbo.
McCoy gets played by Jack Nicholson! This is probably the best parody of all. Gloriously creepy.
Scottie gets played by.....? Danged if I know. Some drunken sot with an accent. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be the spaced out guy from Taxi or the spaced out guy from WKRP in Cincinnati...or???
