Forgive my ignorance...what's the deal with Kurland?

I've been playing since the second anniversary/FTP, but I've never figured out why Kurland is so popular, or what is the joke with him? In "Midnight", when he said "Kurland here-" I saw on the forums how a lot of folks thought it was awesome. And then just today on a new thread someone referenced "another Kurland here moment". But I don't get it...did I miss something from the first two years?
Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

He's basically a joke. Everyone found it annoyingly funny when he kept interrupting the player with dialogue boxes during the mission; Boldly they Rode.
"This is Kurland"
"Kurland here, come in"
So as a little homage to this funny yet annoying character cryptic added a little voice over during Midnight. I thought it was pretty funny myself.
Was this during a "2800" episode? It's been so long since I played those...

Yeah it's now under the Cardassian struggle tab on the updated mission log.
LOL I just realized you had already said "Boldly They Rode". Thanks! At least that gives me some context.

He looks to me as the guy that is really not in control but doing his best. His wife has probably an affair. His kids do not well on school and now he has to deal with a thirty year old war. He, Karukan and the Vorta makes these mission classic.
It's no secret.
Running that mission once, with sound, anyone will understand what the deal is with Kurland
A group of Alliance officers are trapped on DS9 as someone or something is killing everybody onboard one by one. The last thing they hear before dying horribly is their combadge beeping and a "Kurland here".

Coming soon (tm) here"
It was recorded awhile ago, and I might be wrong, but I thing some acting requirement has changed since.
He can't do new stuff without a membership or something, so cryptic ether leaves it as is or recasts him.
And that's after he calls for 'radio silence'.
Gaul in the Delta series is great. Imo the best, together with Hakeev od course.
There's quite a lot of overacting in STO. Admiral Quinn sounds more like a kid who's exploring a theme park for the first time than an old, experienced, battle-hardened Starfleet officer. The acting doesn't fit at all.
I like Gaul's, Hakeev's, Obisek's, Neelix' and Tuvok's voice overs. Those are fantastic.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
Tbh i liked mr bonnie-kin what cryptic should do is update it and ask tony todd to do the VA and channel a little of the candyman into it, that would make that mission superb.
"Bonnie-kin, Booooonie kiin"
"Kurland here, stop using my pet name, we split up a long time ago"
ROFL!! you sir win the thread
