TNG tackled a similar sort of story line except they took the idea that maybe you learn how to work with the socially awkward person instead of shoving them aside and sniggering at them. They even tackled the idea that simply transferring the "problem" somewhere else was a failure on the bosses side as much as it is the member of crew.
But hey, let's not let that get in the way of encouraging laughter at the socially awkwards expense.
