The thing about Internet memes is that they sometimes come back. For those that don’t know what I’m talking about, the whole obsession with Chuck Norris is a meme, something stupid within pop culture that usually became a part of pop culture because it’s stupid.

This video is one of those things. Brokeback Mountain was released how many years ago? Combine the explicit gayness from that movie with the subtle gayness of the original Star Trek series and you get a humorous trailer for Broke Trek.

The video is at least a year old, but it is once again making its way around the geekosphere for unknown reasons — most likely it’s because people like me watch it and repost it. I’m contributing to the fall of civilization, but it’s a funny video so who cares.
