Here's the commercial; looks like it wasn't the SyFy channel, but the Canadian Sci-fi channel (formerly known as the Space Channel): https://youtu.be/_0V_8AbEHYA?si=SYsmDW5Rkdps-MNB On Fri, Oct 27, 2023, 10:39 PM James Landau via tlhIngan-Hol < tlhingan-hol@lists.kli.org> wrote:

I recently read something about this commercial from the TV Tropes article https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BasementDweller :

"An irate man is gathering signatures against an upcoming Star Trek marathon on Sci-Fi Channel, ranting how only losers who live in their mother's basements watch this stuff. The old lady he's talking to suggests her son might be interested. "I'll just get him. He's in the basement." Cue an enormous cosplayer dressed as a Klingon warrior emerging from the basement and knocking the man unconscious.

Old Lady: [in Klingon, subtitled] You do not fight with honor! Klingon: Aw, Mom! "

I haven't been able to find this SyFy Channel commercial online, so has anyone here seen it? I'm curious to know whether the commercial uses real (and correctly-pronounced) Klingon.
