Sisko
Then, as the president stepped behind his podium, it was time for Swear Trek to begin its commentary. Swear Trek reminded its followers of all the fun they had doing soemthing similar during the presidential debates. Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine did not seem so excited, stepping in with an eyeroll and a "not this $#!+ again."
Fact-Checking Spock
Many of those devoted to following politics really on websites like Politifact to fact check these kinds of speeches in real time.
If you're a Star Trek fan, you turn to the most logical, least emotional character you can think of in Mr. Spock. Swear Trek did the same, handing the version of Spock from Star Trek: The Animated Series a fact-checking device.
His reading found the speech to be, "Horse$#!+. Pure horse$#!+."
Spock is Confused
However, even the brilliant Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) couldn't keep up with the State of the Union address.
Swear Trek posted a follow-up gif with Spock, this time in his live-action form from Star Trek: The Original Series.
Spock looks utterly confounded, but his commentary is surprisingly swear free for a gif coming from Swear Trek: "What the coal-powered Jesus and I looking at."
Janeway and Chakotay
The Star Trek: Voyager crew stepped up to the plate next.
Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) expressed her feelings about the speech to her first officer, Chakotay (Robert Beltram). She explained that, "This constant stream of bull$#!+ is exhausting."
Picard and Riker
Later in the speech, Picard was a little lost by what was going on and asked his first officer, William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) for an explanation.
"What the f--- is happening now?"
Bones
Meanwhile, original Star Trek doctor Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley) was becoming impatient.
The good doctor wondered, "When will this f---ing day end?"
Mr. Scott
Mr. Scott (James Doohan) rechecked the reading.
His findings? "It's still bull$#!+."
The Enterprise Crew
By the end, the entire crew of the original Enterprise was a bit lost.
They wondered openly, "What the f--- are we looking at?"
Kirk
By the end, Swear Trek was thanking god the speech was over.
Meanwhile, animated Captain Kirk was left wonder, "Who was that @$$hole?"
Drunk Kirk
Swear Trek even offered a coping strategy.
It was illustrated by a stumbling Kirk telling Spock to "Guess who's drunk."
