Bride of Chaotica!
I wish more clips from this wonderful Star Trek: Voyager episode were on Youtube, but in lieu of that, here, have the dialogue from some of my favorite scenes.
Quick summary of the plot: A holodeck program interferes with reality. Yes, tired Star Trek cliche, I know, but the program in question this time is Captain Proton, a Flash Gordon-esque space adventure, with a villain named Chaotica. The holodeck scenes are over-the-top camp, and the whole thing is full of win.

KIM: Planet X looks kind of familiar. What was the last place we went to?
PARIS: The Mines of Mercury.
KIM: They're identical.
JANEWAY: Coffee, black.
NEELIX: Sorry, Captain. We lost two more replicators this morning.
JANEWAY: Listen to me very carefully because I'm only going to say this once. Coffee, black.
ROBOT: Invaders! In . . .
[PARIS hits him]
PARIS: Quiet!
ROBOT (quietly) Invaders.
JANEWAY: Let me get this straight. Transdimensional aliens have mistaken your Captain Proton simulation for reality.
PARIS: Yes, ma'am.
JANEWAY: And now an armed conflict has broken out between these aliens and Chaotica's holographic army.
PARIS: Yes, ma'am. His Army of Evil.
CHAKOTAY: How do you propose to defeat Chaotica?
PARIS: Well, he's been attacking the aliens with his Death Ray.
TUVOK: It's a shame we don't have one.
JANEWAY: So all I have to do is find the controls of this Death Ray and deactivate it.
PARIS: It's not as simple as it sounds. Now, Chaotica might be a 1930s villain, but he's very clever. It'd help if you knew some of the rules.
JANEWAY: I'm listening.
PARIS: All right. Well, first of all, he's a megalomaniac, so it's a good idea to appeal to his ego.
JANEWAY: Right.
PARIS: And, er, use grandiose language. He likes to be called "sire." And it helps to say things like, "The clever fiendishness of your evil plan is brilliant."
