Haha made you look
I’ve read that line from Parks and Rec was unscripted and improvised by Chris Pratt

Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

MODERATORS
Yeah, according to the writers of the episode. They said they got kind of angry because they couldn't think of anything funnier than that line. To be fair, it's fucking hysterical. Pratt might be a shitty person but he's witty as shit.
I thought it was more that there is only one of him so there is no statistically significant sample size of shape shifters.
I think the medical scanner basically reads odo as a calibration error.
Second in his class at Starfleet, you know. Would have been first, if he hadn't chosen to give a wrong answer on that question about preganglionic fibers vs postganglionic nerve, to avoid getting caught for genetic manipulation.
Presumably, the good doctor won those medical awards for impeccable excellence in the field of bedside manners.
