We are big fans of good gag reels; it’s in fact doubly sad when they aren’t actually that funny. These gag reels are. Especially if you’re a fan of either Star Trek: The Next Generation or J.J. Abrams‘ first Star Trek movie. If you’re a fan of both, like we are, you’ll really love these, from the Blu-ray sets of each.

You may have seen them before, but it’s a new year and you really should start it off watching Michael Dorn, with his giant Klingon head, getting the giggles. Engage:

Nice to know (or be reminded) that J.J. Abrams has a drummer’s twitch, and that Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine really need to work on their Irish accents.

Happy 2013, gang.
