Wake Up in the Morning Feelin’ Like J. Kirk
I’m not sure if you’re having trouble waking up this morning, but I imagine a terrifyingly apt video for Kesha’s “Tik Tok” song made entirely of original series Star Trek footage should help you sweep the cobwebs from your eyes. It’s actually a little terrifying how perfect some of these clips are for this video, although I’d say that’s a compliment more to the very wide ranging stories found in Star Trek then Kesha, who sucks (and this is coming from a straight dude who loves both Lady Gaga and Kylie Minogue). Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
