Yes, Jizz.
I’ve been watching star trek (TNG, DS9, Voyager) and still don’t get the red shirt reference. I know it’s about them getting killed all the time but I just don’t see it.
It’s a running gag more than anything. The idea is Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Ensign Smith in a red shirt beam down to the dangerous planet. Who dies?
The meme is from TOS. Not as many people died in the newer ones.
A simple pie chart reveals 55 total deaths and, yes, red shirts perished in frightening numbers. A whopping 24 died, compared to 9 in yellow/gold command and 7 in blue, with 15 crossing into the final frontier in unidentified colors

Cause you didn’t watch the series the meme is made upon (TES)
TOS. More coffee for me
The edgy series? The excellent series? The ecstatic series? The evil series? The Elvin series? The e-coli series? The epinephrine series?
:p
I had to.
