I had no idea that was “The Picard Maneuver”. I always assumed it was something like a bad ass evasive spaceship maneuver like in Top Gun where Mavericks like “we’re gonna hit the brakes and they’ll fly right by.”
There’s the in-universe Picard Maneuver, which is actually an attack maneuver he used against the Ferengi when he was the captain of the Stargazer (TNG: The Battle). But this video shows the most used, most seen-on-screen Picard Maneuver.
Side of the Meme Ship LOL 420 hull fills the screen, makes a slow turn and drifts into the middle of view slowly flying away at impulse speed … powers up meme engines and hits argyle speed
That is annoyingly well done. Some of those bounces themselves are funny as fuck, nevermind the entire concept. I can’t tell if my favorite is when it bounced off Picards shoe or when it just slid across the table.
It is very consistent and nicely done. The style is quite comic, so now I’m also picturing an alternate deadpan version with accurate physics simulation where the combadge just clunks to the floor.
