** It's also pretty unusual how innocent and oblivious he comes considering that it's implied he was invited to multiple Stag Parties for Captain Jack Harkness, who is almost comparable to Glenn Quagmire from Family Guy.

* BigDamnReunion: "Hunters of the Burning Stone" sees the Doctor meet his original companions, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, taken from Earth just after they left his original incarnation. After defeating the Prometheans, the Doctor not only attends their wedding, but even served as Ian's best man.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The Doctor is subject to this in his confrontation with Danny Fisher; Fisher is such a xenophobe that he asks the Doctor to reveal the "truth" about his interest in humanity, unable to accept that the Doctor has been helping the human race for centuries simply because he's a good man who likes humanity.




to:

* StableTimeLoop: Hunting the origin of the phrase "What lies buried in man?", the Doctor realises that he essentially gave mankind the inspiration to create the police box by going back to 1963 and breaking the TARDIS's chameleon circuit in the first place, creating a second mental image in humanity's subconscious to help them resist the Prometheans.
* TrickedOutTime: Clara inspires him to save pilot Amy Johnson from her recorded death with the observation that nobody ever found Johnson's body, allowing the Doctor to retrieve her ''just'' after her plane crashed and take her somewhere else.


Added DiffLines:

* TrickedOutTime: Ultimately [[spoiler:finds a way to avert the apparent death of his companion Valerie while leaving all the evidence he found of her future demise intact for him to encounter later]].


Added DiffLines:

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Receives this from new companion Valerie Lockwood when he tells her about the Time War, as Valerie can see that the Doctor is a good man who would only have destroyed his own people if he had no other choice.

** Being the third mainline Doctor of NuWho, he can be compared to and contrasted with the Third Doctor. When compared to the professional, gentlemanly, and overall straightforward scientist that the Three was, Eleven is downright ''ridiculous'' yet clearly more conniving when push comes to shove. It should also be noted that Three began his era being exiled on Earth by the Time Lords, Eleven ended his era purposely exiling himself on Trenzalore for the sake of the Time Lords.

Despite his title of the Eleventh Doctor, he was the thirteenth and final incarnation in the Doctor's first regeneration cycle.[[note]]Between the War Doctor being retconned in during his tenure, and his predecessor burning through an extra regeneration in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd Journey's End]]"[[/note]] However, thanks to [[Recap/DoctorWho2013CSTheTimeOfTheDoctor the intervention of the Time Lords,]] the Doctor was granted a new lease on life and a whole new set of regenerations.

*** Also to note their settings as well: Three was for the most of his life grounded to 1970s/1980s Earth, with an occasional outer-Earth mission due to the Time Lords and an accidental parallel universe trip on his own accord. While on Earth, Three openly worked with UNIT, establishing himself as their scientific advisor against all sorts of outer-space menaces, especially with plots involving The Master. It wasn't until near the end of his life when Three regained full knowledge of the workings of the TARDIS as a reward from the Time Lords during the events of "The Three Doctors". Eleven on the other hand could rarely sit still and spent most of his life traveling about, being less involved with his companions' contemporarily Earth affairs and more involved exploring humanity's far future or distant past (in relation to the 2010s anyways). Or being involved with reality-defying time paradoxes. It wasn't until the end of his life where he spent the end living on Trenzalore while intentionally separating himself from his TARDIS to protect the residents of the Town of Christmas as well as the remaining Time Lords sealed away within their time bubble as depicted in "Day of the Doctor" and "Time of the Doctor". Also, as noted above, Eleven got along great with his immediate predecessor Ten due to their similarities. In comparison, Three loathed Two due to how different they were from one another.

* AMillionIsAStatistic: Averted. Eleven spent his past incarnation remembering and regretting the deaths of more than 2 billion innocent Gallifreyan children in the Time War to remind himself why he was protecting others. The "four knocks" prophecy changed him and he resisted regeneration. Then when he regenerated from Ten, he was faced with permanent death twice, first through an assassination attempt and then a future where he died in battle because he couldn't regenerate anymore. He also lost his companions to the Weeping Angels, and it broke him to the point he retired to Victorian London. After 200, maybe 300 years as this incarnation, thinking about death tore away at him, and he blanked out the memory until its impact was gone.



* IWasQuiteAFashionVictim: Towards Three... but averted with Six, since he still ''loves'' his old technicolor coat.

* ChasteHero: The Doctor is usually innocent of all things sexual, especially when Amy Pond tried to make advances on him the night before her wedding to Rory. He is also oblivious to taboos around nudity and why it's considered awkward.

*** Speaking of companions, Three's companions were obviously more earthbound, contemporary to the 1970s/1980s and profesional: Cambridge University Professor Elizabeth Shaw, escapologist Jo Grant, journalist Sarah Jane Smith, as well as the obvious UNIT staff members Brigadier Gordon Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart, Captain Michael Yates, and Sergeant John Benton. Eleven's companions were also earthbound yet extremely non-professional and extremely reality-defying in comparison to UNIT: the time-crack exposed Amelia Pond, chronically dying and death-defying and once turned into an Auton who lived through 2000 years in an alternate universe Rory Williams, Professor of Archeology and human-Time Lady River Song, and the Impossible Time-Splintered Girl Clara Oswald. What's more interesting to note is that during the Battle of Demons Run, Eleven was able to rack up assistance to form a makeshift army from individuals across time and space. Notable in that said makeshift army involved a Silurian and a Sontaran. Both the Silurians and the Sontarans were introduced as villains or anti-villains during Three's life, but Madame Vastra and Strax have proven themselves to openly ally the Doctor regardless of the Doctor's incarnation.
