While this isn't the most comical Trek Series, they do have their moments.
It doesn't really have to be just one-liners.
From "Chosen Realm":
"Go ahead, try to blow yourself up. I'll wait."

"Being stuck in there with Malcolm."

Oh, I was just thinking about starting a thread like this, just for this line:
"Doctor, I think we should go back to your quarters."
"I'm flattered, sub-commander, but I think we should keep our relationship strictly professional."
ETA: T'Pol and Phlox, "Two Days and Two Nights," ENT. (Even the title is funny.)

Just so this thread doesn't dissolve into a guessing game, it would be a good idea to state the episode, series, and speakers of the one-liner(s).

From ENT's recently reaired The Forgotten ( pretty much the only funny bit in that ep):
(re Trip's lack of sleep)
Phlox:..and I don't want to see you back at your post before 0500.
Trip: 6 hours?
Phlox: Not a minute less.
Trip: If I'm gone for six hours, there may not be a ship here when I get back! I can give you 2.
Phlox:5.
Trip:3
Phlox:4.
Trip:Done.....and remind me never to buy a car from you.
(Not technically a one-liner, but you need the set-up for the car line.:)

Not only a one-liner, but a one-worder.

When no one believes that Q has lost all his powers, Q asks what he must do to convince them.
Worf's answer: "Die!"

That and

For the life of me, I can't remember the episode title...but Data asked Worf to take care of his cat...asked him to feed the cat, talk to him, etc...Worf just stared back and said, "I will feed him." Funny.
One of my favs from ENT wasn't actually a line, but a look...when T'Pol told Phlox and Trip to quit talking during the movie. Trip's expression was priceless.

Yeah, still more of a conversation than a one-liner, but I liked it anyway...
STIV: The Save-the-Whales Episode:
(Kirk, McCoy, and Gillian are sneaking into the OR where Chekhov is being held, and are accosted by two security guards. Gillian, lying on a gurney, moans loudly.)
MCCOY: Out of the way! This woman has immediate postprandial upper-abdominal distention! Do you want an acute case on your hands?
(They get past)
KIRK: What was that you said she had?

I'm astonished that there are no lines from Garak or Dukat in this thread yet. From DS9's "Ties of Blood and Water".
Sisko: Still calling yourself Gul? I'm surprised you haven't promoted yourself back to Legate by now.
Dukat: I prefer the title 'Gul'; so much more hands-on than Legate. And less pretentious than the other alternatives: President, Emperor, First Minister … Emissary.
Sisko: How about Dominion Puppet?
And another, this time from DS9's "In the Pale Moonlight".
Sisko: Welcome aboard, Senator [Vreenak]. I'm Captain Benjamin Sisko.
Vreenak: So, you're the commander of Deep Space Nine. And the Emissary to the Prophets. Decorated combat officer, widower, father, mentor -- and oh, yes, the man who started the war with the Dominion. Somehow I thought you'd be taller.

After the Romulan Ale soaked diplomatic dinner:

From the same episode, "He knows, Doctor. He knows." It's not funny at all, but it's perhaps the best Trek line ever.

It's certainly one of the most poignant lines in Trek. That and "Let's get the hell off this planet" were extremely moving.

"Drone," Season 5, VOY:
DOCTOR: After all, you've got my mobile emitter driving your neocortex so you're bound to make a dazzling impression. That's called a joke.
ONE: Joke. A verbal comment or gesture designed to provoke laughter.
DOCTOR: I see you've got your mother's sense of humor.
And as far as poignant lines go, at the end of the same episode when the Doctor and Seven tell One (the futuristic Borg) to lower his shields for treatment:
SEVEN: You must comply. Please, you are hurting me.
ONE: You will adapt.

Garak: That you should never tell the same lie twice
