These videos were originally uploaded by The Spoony Experiment. They use clips from the “Star Trek: The Next Generation – A Klingon Challenge” VHS board game. A single actor in Klingon makeup has taken over the off hours set of the Enterprise and challenges players to Trek themed challenges at random intervals. During your turn he’d sometimes jump out and say “Experience Bij!” It’s the Klingon equivalent of, “Take this punishment!” and would usually make you lose a turn.

The Spoony Experiment typically posted scripted skit-based media reviews, similar to the Angry Video Game Nerd, the Nostalgia Critic, and other online contemporaries. These sorts of reviews can take a while to produce, so he’d occasionally post an Experience Bij video during a gap in his upload schedule. It’s was usually a mashup of the TNG game clips and an unrelated, ostensibly grating piece of media. They were meant to be a bit of a non-sequitur and were just there to let fans know his channel was still active.

Source: The TNG Interactive VCR Board Game, plus a clip from Persona 4. Yes, that is Robert O’Rilley, the actor who normally plays Gowron, with a different forehead.

I’ve always wondered what the proper Klingon translation of “Experience bIj” is.

The best I can come with, with my crappy understanding of Klingon and The Klingon Dictionary at my side is “bIj yIbech” (“Suffer bIj!”), but there is probably something horribly wrong with that translation. Even if nothing was grammatically wrong with it, it could be an overly literal translation.

No, you go experience bij!
