Broke Trek: Video from the Past Says Hello

by Dan Landis on October 2, 2008

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.

Can Nintendo truly do it? Right now it’s hard for anyone to answer, even them, but how can you doubt them? Numbers don’t lie. Read more…
