There's a great line from Spock from another episode -- "human beings have characteristics, just as inanimate objects do". Throughout all of Star Strek, all the main characters are interesting, but they always behave, to put it simply, like themselves -- they are consistent characters.
The exceptions are the HORRENDOUS "comedy" episodes, of which "I, Mudd" is by far the worst. The outrageous one-liners and just plain silly behavior of the actors in this episode, and the Tribbles, and Piece of the Action, must have totally embarrassed them -- I'm embarrassed for them just watching it.
Exception: Chekov, while quizzing the beautiful female androids, finds out that lecherous and depraved Harry Mudd programmed them for "human female" behavior. At first acting shocked, he then smiles & says "this place is even better than Leningrad!" -- now THAT'S funny!
