Nothing to See Here
It’s certainly not a video of the gag reel from the recent Star Trek movie that Paramount keeps pulling from YouTube. In fact, I don’t know what the above video is, but I can assure you it doesn’t include Zachary Quinto busting take after take and then emitting an oddly highly pitched giggle, or J.J. Abrams exhibiting some kind of horrible obsessive-compulsive behavior which renders him unable to not drum on a microphone. If it was, however, the Star Trek gag reel — WHICH IT CERTAINLY IS NOT — I’d recommend you watch it rather quickly before it gets pulled again.

Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
