Power Klingon

by Scarlett on July 14, 2007 · View Comments

While preparing for the FMV adventure known as Star Trek Klingon, I felt obliged to subject myself to the Power Klingon Language Course provided on the third disc, hosted by none other than Michael Dorn! Take the Power Klingon challenge along with me, and see how much honor you retain by the end! Qapla! (Turn your volume up! Some people have said that the CD is a little hard to hear.)

Why do people bother learning this fully? lol
Awk well i better prepare for that exam

Actually if a woman came to me and did "Harrrrrhrhhrh... HARrrrrhrhrhh..." I would probably think she wants some poontang given the right attire.

Nonetheless, I knew the love/sexual words/sounds part would be hilarious. God... the worst part is I know people actually used that one CD for fan fairs or other Trekkie meetings.

Spoony learning Klingon...awesome

Archaix

Michael Dorn: Proper Klingon = *incoherent Klingon speak* I am lost.

All of us: WELL WHAT A FUCKING COINKIDINK, SO ARE WE!

Wubby

Purrr, Spoony, purrr.

AND BY GOD IF YOU LAUGH AT ME.

Sensiblar Erecton

Actually, you know what language it sounds like? Akkadian.

I prefer the "al bhed" from FFX. Now hate me ST fans, hate me!

ThePotatoKing

I've only ever seen one episode of The Next Generation, and I later discovered that it was the only episode in which Michael Dorn didn't appear.
Ah well....

SimonTheGoalie

I really hate these ads...but great content afterwards!

Drama_Librarian

Haha..... "your mother has a smooth forehead"

So... the epic 'your mom' joke reaches across the galaxy into Klingon territory.

great review Spoony.

Eric Smith

Nope. I forgot it all the moment they went onto the next word or phrase, as I'm sure a lot did. That's insane! Who would sit there and play that shit over and over and over again!!! It's mind-numbing, but at the same time, pretty damn hilarious! What phrases they teach them to learn! Weenies.

Someone on Youtube is recreating the experience of this game using links and other features for people who can't get it to run on their PCs.

"Was I supposed to get a workbook or something?"

That one got me. I had to pause the video, because I couldn't hear anything over my own laughter.

J-Naps

so basically im speaking klingon when i have the whooping cough

this makes me sad to be a trek fan

so very...very sad

Dan

This is hilarious... It sounds a bit like butchered Indian. Educational my ass, who are you going to speak to in Klingon? I'm amazed as to how far some people go just to make that extra bit of money.

Felix

lol,what a funny coincidence i shop at bookmans too
its the shit in (three fine location throughout the valley)... lol?

Tim

That was great! (Except the Irish joke, I'm Irish, grrrrrr)

Sean

See this is why I'm a Star Wars guy, it's easier to learn Huttese than it is to learn Klingon.

Kuman no ma reepah = Fearless and Inventive.
Yabba ni Cho = Take them away

those are the only phrases I can think of off the top of my head.

Marina

I still don't get it, why they didn't use the universal translator in Star Trek 6... It would have helped greatly with the translations and they still could have repeated it themselves. The klingons wouldn't have noticed and it would have been a lot easier...

Lucan

Wait wtf, only some parts of it sound like Russian... most are just gibberish... well there goes my theory.

Also double post for double powar

Lucan

"My father, (A smeg off HUGE trekie he thinks he is a klingon, i swear) decided it would be a great idea to train my dog in Klingon. I SHIT YOU NOT!"

Dear god, you poor, poor man.

Solaris Paradox

I love how you conduct this Star Trek language seminar thing with a Star Wars poster in the background. Screw you, Trekkies! >=P

Lucan

I was wondering, "Hmm, where have I heard this language before..." then, at the mention of the Russian parliment I went "OH." Now I feel like a douche for not having caught on after watching so many Star Trek re-runs early thursday morning on TV Land.

Topher Blair

Bookmans is the shit!

I just had to laugh at the opening song, i couldnt help it XD

...This reminds me of another made-up language for another fan subculture trying to bring "culture" into the geekdom. And the frightening thing is, they both have actual published dictionaries that have been sold. It's really sad. Fortunately, unlike that other made-up language, I can't find a font for Klingon.
