This is not the weirdest thing I have seen all year. But it’s close.
Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), Spock (Ethan Peck), and Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose-Gooding) are joined on the Patrick Starship Enterprise by SpongeBob SquarePants, Sandy Cheeks, and Mr. Krabs. They play it completely deadpan.
At first I thought it was another one of those cheesy A.I. video joke posts, but apparently no, this is a real thing that Paramount and the creators of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and SpongeBob Squarepants actually got together and did.
As strange as it sounds (and it is as strange as it sounds, trust me on this one) I can get behind the message here. Imagination, and fun, are key.
“Weird dream.”
UHuRa and Spock

I got to admit this combination never occurred to me. I would have dismissed it as a bad idea–except it works! Fun video.
