Oh Star Trek: The Next Generation. You’re my favorite Trek series, and with good reason. For example, you’ve got the Borg, the best enemies since the Klingons. You’ve got Professor Charles Xavier as the captain of a starship. Best of all, you’ve got Data, the best android in TV history. Sure, he’s not as aggressive as a Cylon or as funny as a C3PO, but there’s something about Brent Spiner’s portrayal of Data that has always struck me as perfect. There’s this great combination of facial expressions and body movements teamed with Data’s deadpan nature that just made the character the real star of TNG for me, and now he’s getting his just due. Some awesome folks have mashed up Weird Al’s “White and Nerdy” with clips of Data from Star Trek TNG.

This has been a banner year for Weird Al with his Lady Gaga parody blowing up and now even Klingon fans can get their just due. This video is spectacular, and should be reposted everywhere. It’s THAT good.
