I recently came across this meme. After researching, the original meme appears to be https://www.geeksandgamers.com/topic/star-trek-doctor-mccoy-memes/ in late 2020.
That leaves me with one question: Where is this frame of DeForest Kelley from? Looking through both my memories and a double-check in MemoryAlpha, I’m certain it’s not from TOS. Is there someone here more familiar with DeForest Kelley’s filmography or, alternatively, someone who actually has the time to start looking through DeForest Kelley films?
It looks like Kelley’s head photoshopped onto a stock image of a magician.
Edit: Yup, found the magician. Now to see if I can find where that headshot is from. It’s definitely TOS era.
Edit 2: Couldn’t find it with a simple reverse image search, so I looked for “DeForest Kelley smiling” and found the original image of him on this delightfully old-school web page dating back to 2001. (Bless him, the page is still active and has a counter and everything.) The image makes it clear that it is indeed from Star Trek, but he has on a unique formal looking tunic with a split collar, which should make it easy to narrow down to a specific episode.
Edit 3: Some reverse image searching on the full image led me to the ever-useful site getyarn.io, which provided a clip of the exact moment of this image, in which Bones is saying “a teddy bear?” It’s from TOS S02E10, “Journey to Babel”. Here’s a longer clip with the amusing context:
Great sleuthing!
This is some excellent work, I do not know if I am proud or ashamed that I immediately knew it was the “teddy bear” moment. Sorry I did not see this sooner and save you the effort 😂
seems to be a photoshop job, this person’s soundcloud profile pic has the same suit, rabbit and hat, but a different face - https://soundcloud.com/castromoore
The original photo seems to be of a magician named Ted Schwank.
Well, the rabbit’s too small for Night of the Lepus.
They will get their revenge
My favorite is still. im a doctor not a bricklayer.
