I'm always making Star Trek references... usually to my parrots (as if they even get them).
When they're clamouring for for lunch/dinner: "This isn't Star Trek. We don't have a replicator. The microwave takes a few seconds."
When they want to go to their porch cage NOW, and I'm walking them out too slowly for their liking: "I'm getting you out there as fast as I can. This isn't Star Trek. We don't have a transporter."
So far, I have not had to employ an analogy for the tricorder, communicators, or the photon torpedos... although Max does a great imitation of a laser gun firing. I don't know where he picked that up.
That is so cool! Being a child of the 60's (yes I'm very old) I fondly recall the original show. I was twelve when the show started and a huge Scifi fan, plus I had a gigantic crush on Ensign Chekov, I loved the accent (now that I think about it I also had a huge crush on Ilya Kuryakin from the original Man from U.N.C.L.E. so maybe I'm just a slut for man with an accent--LOL) I also remember being furious when it was cancelled after only three seasons. Surprisingly I never really followed any of the subsequent spin off shows although I did see some of the movies.
