    To be fair the meme format is supposed to be saying 1 word that applies to multiple things. The joke is much funnier if the answer to “name 5 starships” is “the enterprise” because absurdity. Naming 5 different ships isn’t a joke, that’s just answering the question with a list.

      To be fair, the format originally followed more closely to the actual source material, in which the second panel would read “Okay, name one X” and the third panel would mention the one most incredibly obvious answer. Which would still just be “Enterprise” in this case.
