Star Trek Meets Monty Python: "The Holy Grail of Geekdom"

As Allison Keene on the Mental Floss blog so aptly describes it, this really is the "holy grail of geekdom". Amazing how perfectly some of the more ridiculous scenes from Star Trek fit the Monty Python motif. I was never a Star Trek fan and never really watched it, so this came as a surprise. I am a huge Monty Python fan, however.

Searching Google Images for "awesome" will apparently yield these results (though not all these are on the front page, which apparently is dominated by NSFW images). Both Star Wars and Star Trek make an appearance, likely driven by the fact that they were popular at that brief flash in time when the word "awesome" was popular too.

This is a fun site, comparing Sesame Street Muppets, some familiar and some less so, with their celebrity twins, also some familiar and some less so.

My votes for top comparisons:
The Count and Adam Sandler
Beaker and Carrot Top
The Swedish Chef and Dr. Phil

Close Encounters of the Redneck Kind. How excellently funny.

And yes, I agree with Miss Cellania - why did it take 25 years for this to come out?
