I’ve come around a bit on Vic. In my current DS9 re-watch, I just got to the episode where Nog goes to live with him in the holo-suite and he helps him overcome his trauma. He’s way less lame (and creepy) than when he tricks Odo into dating real Kira by telling him she’s a hologram.

Vic Fontaine. A lame, self-aware hologram introduced in season 6 who gives relationship advice mostly.
How DARE you, Sir!
Pistols at dawn!

“Sometimes you gotta tell a man that there ain’t no mountain before he’s willing to try to walk up it. Badda bing, badda boom!”

Those little garage door opener phasers from the first season of TNG.
