Don't bother telling me this video is old. I know it's old. But I hadn't seen it before Tyler S. brought it to my attention, and based on how many YouTube views it has, less than a 25th of you guys have seen it either. Besides, it's six and a half minutes of Worf, Mighty Klingon Warrior, getting his ass handed to him, and I think we can all agree that's as good a way to end the day as any. Hell, after watching this, I think I could take Worf, and I'm a fat nerd with asthma. He's like the Glass Joe of the Star Trek universe.

I would buy any star trek book you wrote in a second. Not even just a digital version. I would buy the actual book, and display it in my home with a giant "best thing, ever" sign next to it.
-
The thing about Worf was that in addition to this, the guy was also pretty stupid. In all staff meetings, everyone would contribute something useful except Worf, who's only suggestions were almost always "We could fire a burst of photon torpedoes" or some such things, regardless of the situation.
-
+1 on number 3. Aside from a few french phrases and Picard chewing out Data for putting down the French language in the early seasons, Picard was the most English man in the galaxy.
-
Why don't we just go ask Weyoun how terrible a Klingon Worf is. Giggle...

tlhIngan Hol DuSaQ DacheghnIS 'e' vIHar. tlhIngan Hol Dalo'chugh, yIlughnISmoH. 'ej tlhIngan qab ghaH wo'rIv. Worf sucks as a Klingon. He can't speak the language, he sucks in combat and he doesn't understand his heritage. He's only done well in a handful of battles. I'm so glad this video exists to highlight Worf's stupidity. @akleos: Don't be impressed. It looks like that Klingon came out of a computer program and not from the mind of someone who has learned the language.
-
I wouldn't mind watching 7 minutes of Worf kicking ass.
-
Wow, that's high class nerdery right there. The only fake language I bothered to learn is the Elvish script from Middle Earth.
-
It was this topic that started me poking around the net where I discovered a pic on Google called Cold Combadges Holy Moley!

He is worthy of far more respect. Qapla' puqloD mogh! batlh Da'qaw lu'taH!
-
I love the fact that they included scenes from "Q-pid," even though they don't show Worf getting taken out!
-
That's great!

And given that those fights were about 15% of this video. It was certainly not routine, it was Part of the much larger arc (and one of their better mindfucks with the other prisoner there). You can see the change in fights in general as tng went on, and Worf specifically by the time ds9 came around. But yeah, Klingons are the athletes-turned-UFC fighters of the future. They have a look, and then get their asses handed to them by the towel guy in the bathroom on the way to the ring.
-
Hey, when it's your job to be 'security officer' you're probably going to get taken down a few times in the course of doing your duties. Whilst it's hilarious watching him get his wrist snapped by Troi or kicked over the security station by a pudgy Irishman, they were both under alien influence. (PS: In Star Trek world, alien influence increases your musculature exponentially!) In the end, Worf killed Gowron on 'DS9' and became the de-facto chancellor of the Klingon Empire. So who's laughing now?
-
I especially appreciate how many of those times it's useless old Deanna Troi whooping his ass.
-
Worf was not captured, he allowed them to take him deeper into their lair where he'd be able to kill them all.
-
So Worf's stuck in mid-card Hell like Matt Hardy? LOL!
-
You mean after Worf was captured during a routine away mission?
-
I guess some of you haven't watched Deep Space Nine. Worf get ass on there almost every episode. Hell watch the episode where Work fights in a small arena and takes on Dominion troop after Dominion troop and beats them all. He can barely even move because so many ribs are broke but he keeps fighting and winning. Worf rules!!
-
Sadly, it would only be longer because it takes Worf much longer to kick an individual ass than to have his own ass kicked.
-
don't show this to that weezy old dude who does all the trek commentaries on youtube. He loathes the next generation as much as it is.
-
It's funny but let's be fair if they did a similar video of worf kicking butt and taking names which would be longer? Lazarus Lupin http://strangespanner.blogspot.com/ The antimatter of taste
-
"But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" <3 Worf and <3 Rocky! Two guys who made their careers out of getting their asses handed to them.
-
Man, everything is better when it's Benny Hillified. Even FFF.
-
Still, that long series of electrically-induced purple nurples must have stung far less than the shame that he got clocked by the moody art-school chick. Three times.
-
I saw Michael Dorn at a convention a few months back and he talked about how Worf kept getting beat up. It was pretty funny because he said he was really tired of it after a while so they cut back.
-
All I have to say, is this: http://bennyhillifier.com/?id=7nqb-o1ub54
-
Maybe that's why he got cut from Nemesis.
-
I want to say Troi, because that's almost canonical, but just for the lulz, let me say Wes.
-
The funniest bit is when Worf gets hit.
-
Not enough. Who's the third part of their polyamorous relationship? Riker/Worf/?
-
I believe in your #1 theory because I believe in Riker/Worf
-
haha Koko B Worf
-
Klingons in general are kinda giant pussies. I mean, for a race who lives and breathes combat, they sure do get their ass kicked in hand to hand combat with a bunch of federation guys who are probably vegans and run half marathons to raise awareness for breast cancer.
-
I have a few personal theories about Star Trek: TNG 1. Worf takes dives all the time to help support Riker's gambling habit. ("Hey, I bet Worf couldn't take the Pig Musketeer in a fight!") 2. Troi can't read emotions at all. She's just lying to keep her job. This explains why she was able to "read" the unreadable ferengi in a few episodes, and more importantly how she can forge a telepathic bond with somebody through a freaking viewscreen. 3. Before the Federation was formed, England finally conquered France. Absolutely nothing else explains Picard, his family, and their accents. 4. Data always had and used emotions, he was just dicking with everybody. This explains the many, many, many times he got angry in the series. 5. That's not Yar's daughter. The Romulans just brought her back using the old Micmac burial ground. 6. Guinan really is Whoopi Goldberg. Whoopi Goldberg is an alien.
-
The episode of TNG I hate the most is the one where the Ferengi first show up (I think). Picard sends Worf, Data, Riker, and Geordi down to the planet (so, with the exception of Laforge, the three toughest dudes on the Enterprise),and they *all* get taken out by giant-eared dwarfs with whips. Fuck.
-
+1 for that one. Brooklyn Brawler *and* Koko B Ware...stupendous!
-
How did he get promoted as a security officer? His whole job is provide securty. No wonder everyone had to fend for themselves thoughout the series. I would take Data into a fight any day.
-
It was a recurring joke even before the net that Worf got his ass kicked all the time. The blue barrel did the most damage (severing his spinal column) and it was just an accident. There's also a video out there highlighting DS9's Major Kira kicking ass over and over.
-
The bit with the pain sticks wasn't really pwnage though. He did that on purpose.
-
"Computer, remove the plank!"
-
Well he might get his butt kicked a lot but he keeps getting back up. Eventually.
-
Ooh, or my favorite, during the Klingon Civil War, a highly Worf-centric arc, where Worf gets knocked out in a bar and spends half of the war captured, while Data saves the day. Really sad.
-
Ironically, Worf never lost a fight to another Klingon, even on TNG. So really, he's the best Klingon ever. That's just not saying much. Also, they missed a few classics. Like the time Worf attempted with all his might to pry some doors open on an abandoned ship, only to fail, while Data did it with no effort. Another great one was when Picard brought Worf along on some mission because he knew there'd be trouble, and on said mission, he turned away for a split second, only see Worf with his hands up as two guys had phasers on him. Sad.
-
this is how i remember D'argo from Farscape, too. His 2 go to moves were yoshi tongue and getting ktfo'd.
-
Redshirts are the jobbers - Worf's a level above that. It's the difference between the Brooklyn Brawler and Koko B. Ware.
-
Didn't Marvel treat Wolverine the same way? Every new character had to show how badass they were by trashing him?
-
Wow, you've outdone yourself.
-
yeah... not getting that picture out of my head for a while...
-
I always remembered Worf always getting his ass kicked in TNG. Pretty much everybody always tossed him around. Of course when he got to DS9 the opposite happened and he became an unstoppable Klingon dervish of death.
-
WORF??? NO!!! what have you done to my WORF??? my childhood memory's hymen is torn asunder by the TR cock. now what am I going to do?
-
A prefer to call them "jobbers". They just go out there and make their opponent look good.
-
"You're not afraid of bats, are you Worf?"
-
The guy obviously has a death wish. Always jumping into fights with aliens notably stronger than he is. Doesn't help that he always tries to do a palm face strike when he does attack someone. After awhile, word'll spread and they'll learn how to block all his moves...
-
Or, in the much better wrestling term, Worf's an enhancement talent. (Superman in Justice League S1 is an even more glaring example; Morrison famously turned that on its head during his JLA run by having Prometheus take out *Batman* first to show he meant business)
-
So what he if got his ass kicked a few times he banged Troi & Dax(both) that makes up for it in my book.
-
In fairness, Worf is fighting the positronic pimp in that last scene.
-
They've noticed this on tv tropes - They call it The Worf Effect when the toughest character gets beat up to show that this episode's antagonist is a serious threat. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWorfEffect
-
Well to be fair, this video doesn't take into account possessions by super-powerful alien entities. Still though, I LOL'd...
-
Well, Worf had a cold that day.
