The ones who come in just as Jason is there and, despite many GQ fans also being there, proceed to ridicule them and their show and in fact ANYTHING nerdy, and cause Jason to become depressed and yell at a fan in the next scene.
Why didn't the fans in the bathroom fight back with retorts and retaliation? Didn't they know they were being talked about? It's as if they wanted to not get involved with these "jocks"! Where's their spunk? DEFEND NERDINESS!

I don't think Star Trek (Galaxy Quest) nerd fans are the type who fight.
I'm just a patsy!

That scene is apparently a reference to a real-life event that happened to William Shatner at a convention, where he overhead "fans" deriding him and his fellow actors as "has beens".

What I thought was, what the hell are those jerks even doing at the convention if they ridicule the actors of the show??

There are people who just go to ridicule or maybe tag along with a friend just to make fun. They must be bored.

Apparently conventions always have people who turn up to ridicule the stars.

I always assumed they weren't attendees but rather people working at the convention center.

I'm an St fan but I don't like Shatner. I guess it's no different than being an St fan but hating every St post TOS. Or being an St Fan but hating DS9, VOY, or ENT. And let's not forget, being an ST fan but hating the new ST films.
A lot of ST fans don't like all of ST much less all the actors on ST.
Global Warming, it's a personal decision innit?

That scene always bugs me. It is very poorly written and staged.

Except that it actually happened in real life, so You're wrong.

Yeah, that scene happened exactly like that in a real life situationderp

Pretty damn close, actually. Shatner has talked about it and how it made him reevaluate how he approaches cons and fans of the show.
