EARLIER THIS SUMMER, Roddy Doyle’s Star Trek launched on Facebook and it was an instant hit.
The page has a simple concept: taking Colm Meaney’s Star Trek character and imagining his scenes were written by Roddy Doyle. The two guys who started it told DailyEdge.ie back then that Whatsapp chats were the inspiration:
We just start sending them to each other through Whatsapp just to amuse ourselves, and then we decided we’d start the page cos we wanted to share them with more of our friends on Facebook.
Since those early fruitful beginnings, Roddy Doyle’s Facebook page has continued to create meme gold all summer long, so here’s their very best work – and you can like the page here:
1. Hen party in Barrytown
2. The nation would legitimately watch a movie with this premise
3. It’s poetry
4. This scene took place after the Egypt game in Italia ’90
5. Perfectly capturing that sarcastic smile
6. Scenes from the Star Trek session
7. He’ll burst him
8. There is conflict
9. Admiration
10. All aborad the Barrytown Starfleet
11. Where the food isn’t like home
12. And the entertainment leaves a lot to be desired
13. Some tunes, though
14. And old pop culture references
15. It’s like a disco in Raheny up there
16. Roddy Doyle’s Star Trek, never change
17. Consistent gold since its inception
Keep up the good work <3
