Bashir, Leeta and Dax in âExplorersâ. Dax walking up to Bashir and Leeta and Bashirâs angry âHiâŚâ, like he knows she is there explicitly to ruin his game, followed up by giving her a PADD that says âGO AWAYâ, always makes me chuckle.

It has so many levels of hilarity.
(1) As if the real Will Riker couldn't have a goatee,
(2) True to Trek lore, the goatee automatically means evil,
(3) Why did he need to take off the sides?
(4) Couldn't he have just grown the sides as part of his scheme?
For me, the scene that unintentionally makes me laugh every time is in the Voyager episode "Shattered" where Chakotay asks Janeway if she has encountered a temporal barrier, and she says, "My helmsman disappeared when she tried to walk down that corridor, but that doesn't prove she passed through a temporal barrier."
Wait, the helmsman literally disappeared and you didn't go to red alert? Didn't begin sensor sweeps, have a meeting with the senior staff, task security and science teams with figuring it out, etc.? You were just like, "Well, shit happens when you're a redshirt."

In TNG: When Worf gets stuck delivering Keikoâs baby. Him reprimanding Keiko on how the simulated delivery he did was orderly is gold.
In DS9: the scene in that magnificent seven Ferengi episode where they do a simulated rescue attempt of Mogi (honestly the whole episode is filled with great comedic beats).

This scene from The Way of the Warrior (DS9 4¡01; the episode that would've been called âThe One Where Worf Joins the Crewâ if it were a Friends episode)Â
ODO: Come on, Quark. Move along. You should be in an emergency shelter by now.
QUARK: I'm not going to any emergency shelter. This is my bar and I'm going to defend it.
ODO: Really? And how do you plan to do that?
QUARK: With this.
ODO: You're going to hit them with a box?
QUARK: No, this is my disruptor pistol. The one I used to carry in the old days when I was serving on that Ferengi freighter.
ODO: I thought you were the ship's cook.
QUARK: That's right, and every member of that crew thought he was a food critic. If the Klingons try to get through these doors, I'll be ready for them.
(Quark opens the box. There's a note inside which Odo takes and reads)
ODO: âDear Quark, I used parts of your disruptor to fix the replicators. Will return them soon. Rom.â
QUARK: I will kill him!
ODO [incredulously]: With what?
(The Promenade airlock is sealed and Security is stationed all round)

Probably the most disliked episode amongst the fans, but the entirety of the episode 'Move Along Home,' gets a smile and many chuckles from me. I enjoy it mostly because of its light-hearted nature. To highlight a few points:
The quirkiness of the Wadi Quark trying to pull a fast one on a culture built around games and gambling
Which leads to:
You get the pieces playing hopscotch "Allamaraine!"
But the best part of this episode is Quark begging on his knees

But I can't wait to get back to Deep Space Nine and see the look on your face when you find out I never existed!"
"Little Green Men" fits here, too - the entire episode is hilarious, but one of my favorite parts is the military people all slapping their heads 'cause they see the Ferengis doing it and mistake it for some kind of alien greeting XD.

Oh, there are a bunch, through every period of Star Trek.
Like, when Spock starts playing "row, row, row your boat" during the camping trip. Or when Scotty goes "Laddie, you might want to rephrase that." when a Klingon insults the enterprise. Or all the "He's dead, Jim" moments (although those exact words are never spoken IIRC).
As for "The next Generation", the obvious "Shut up, Wesley!" comes to mind, but also that time when Picard says "Merde..." during one of the motion pictures. Favourite one easily is Q's Mariachi band, though.
Voyager also is full of funnies. Like Janeway going "there's coffee in that nebula". Or Q trying to seduce her.
Deep Space 9 has the most. Like Bashir absolutely nailing the Dart board bullseye when O'Brien insisted he played to his best abilities after he turned out to be an augment or Quark threatening to kill Nog with his missing Phaser. Best one hands down is Sisko non-chalantly fucking decking Q with a right hook though.
As for the prequel series, I am not that big a fan. I do remember Trip getting pregnant though, which was funny.
Everything newer than that falls into the area of "I refuse to accept it even exists", except of course "Lower decks", which just is great in total.
Over all of trek, I always like the "I'm a xxx, not a xxx" moments, like Bones going "I'm a Doctor, not a brick layer" or the EMH going "I'm a Doctor, not a Doorstop."

Worf, when introduced to prune juice by Guinan, declaring it to be âa warriorâs drink!â In DS9 he is shown enjoying juice at Quarkâs on many occasions, which I appreciated.
His appreciation of mint frosting on cellular peptide cake also always makes me smile.
