I don't get this one. Or maybe I do and I just find it less funny than usual? Is the joke that he's just messing around? I feel like in these comics he's usually so excited to get to do something, this seems out of character.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

He's messing around so the one time he's actually needed he misses it.
He's so bored, he's just playing.
But he's been asked to actually do something for once!
He's talking to himself
OH MY GOD. OK, thank you. I didn't understand that. Much funnier now. And then he misses the actually request because he's screwing around. It makes way more sense now lol
I look forward to Obrian's adventure every week.
I would totally do that all day if I had that job.
O’Brian beams back five corpses
“Oh… I‘ll just duplicate their latest copy from the buffer and integrate the memories from the dead ones’ brains.”
Picard: “Chief, your timing couldn’t have been more perfect. I was convinced I’d been shot.”
O’Brian: “Just doing my job, Sir.”
This is why I would suffer from crippling transporter anxiety like Barkley. Every time you get transported, you essentially die and replaced with a copy of yourself. Would you notice? Probably not. But the tought of it would give me nightmares.
Seriously, dude has the power of life and death, he can literally resurrect anyone.
"I'm off-duty, sir."
O'Brien saves the day. Again
So this is how the bridge crew returns from the dead!
O'Brien does look a little coalaish
I'm thinking you're forced to climb the black mountain while you're in the pattern buffer.
