This is funny. Like, watch it 8 times and laugh a little too loudly in Starbucks funny. I watched this several times myself. Then I started to wonder how William Shatner could ever think this was normal, cool, or interesting when he filmed it. Certainly, the editing makes it more funny but it’s obvious that the original would have been bazaar on its own. He’s such an over-actor that ANYTHING he says sounds a little loopy.
The only way that William Shatner could over-act so heavily is if in his own mind he thinks he is actually spot on. In other words, his perception of what he is doing is completely different from everyone else’s. He must have been thinking, “I’m really in my acting prime now. All that Star Trek stuff was just a stepping stone to this ‘Climbing the Mountain” work.” Well… maybe he wasn’t thinking that exactly, but you get the idea.
