What else could link Black Mirror and the Muppets?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Trek has been a cultural institution for nearly 60 years, and its place in the popular imagination has spawned all manner of spoofs and parodies. Arguably Star Trek: Lower Decks is the greatest parody of all time, given how it perfectly, and affectionately, sends up the entire franchise.
8 The Muppet Show - Pigs In Space Pigs in Space has been a stalwart of The Muppet Show since season 2, and while it has sent up all manner of sci-fi movies and TV shows, Miss Piggy's starship is called the Swinetrek, directly linking it to Star Trek. Not only that, but the character of Captain Link Hogthrob is very clearly based on William Shatner's Captain Kirk and just like Star Trek, it spawned numerous spinoffs.
5 Black Mirror - USS Callister "USS Callister", Charlie Brooker's pitch-perfect parody of Star Trek: The Original Series had a predictably dark edge. As a Star Trek parody it worked on multiple levels, from the recognizable tropes to the much deeper critiques of its sexual politics. It's also a smart and thought-provoking take on Star Trek's holodeck technology and the rights of those whose images are stored inside.
