Explanation: (T)Raumschiff Surprise is a german sci fi parody movie by a popular (in Germany) comedian troupe from 2004. It mostly mocks Star Trek and Star Wars but also incorporates nods to other popular sci fi media (for example, the Han Solo-like Rock Fertig Aus (Til Schweiger) pilots a flying yellow cab).
I legitimately thought this was some big bang theory joke. 100% Leonard in the top right. Sheldon is not Spock, weird, oh he’s some spacey/racey Indiana Jones. Why does Han Solo look like super Hans, let me zoom in on him, nope definitely not him.
And then I read your explanation…
With a Ferengi Energy Whip!
There actually was an old DC strip, ‘Space Cabbie.’
Some of the stories are pretty clever.
