From S02E19 of TOS; A Private Little War
High quality SFX there.
Honestly, the fact that they modeled nipples for it is disturbing.
You’ve got to motivate employees somehow
I just tried for about 10 minutes to find the gif I wanted. Do you have any idea how hard the popularity of DS9 has made it to get the footage of the original Ferengi with whips?
I’m pretty sure they were supposed to be the main bad guys when they were introduced, but the cardassians are way more intimidating.
Laugh all you want but it is still better than some of the stuff from TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT. Mostly because the computer animation was low quality and the other series were filmed with digital cameras with a fixed resolution. You can watch the original Star Trek in 4k if you want.
I particularly like his little party hat
And, honestly, why is this episode not memed into oblivion? Gorn? Check. Pike beep boop? Check. Poisonous space yeti lizard thing? Nothing. Allow me to offer a crossover:

There’s an episode of Futurama where the plot is an obvious parody of this. So that’s something at least?

How could I forget a Dr. Zoidberg episode.
Bonus fun fact: This episode is also the introduction of Dr. M’Benga.
Which also came back in a Lower Decks episode with Ferengi (who end up turning their poaching camp into a mugato habitat)
I thought it was something like an albino gorilla.
It has spines,is poisonous. and a lizard-like tail!
Edit: Fixing my impassioned typing.
Is this the one where they made the murder pact? Like, “Promise me you’ll kill me if it happens”
I originally replied thinking it was a yes, but sadly, I was wrong. I had to watch the whole episode to verify. There is some weird “magic” in this one that confused me there.

It’s amazing how cheesy the original series was sometimes, and how it survived that to evolve into an amazing franchise.
It was an amazing franchise to begin with. Yeah, there is a lot of cheese and camp - but, when it launched initially, it was relatively amazing character and story work.
The camp was kinda necessary to keep people there. They had to compete with this ffs:
cheese is not necessarily a bad thing
Lol I don’t remember that at all
It seems as though the collective memory of Star Trek has forgotten it. I have no clue as to why this isn’t the single most memed TOS moment.
What’s the episode title? I feel a need to revisit.
