History Funny / DoctorWhoSeries3

* "Earthlings! Um... basically... end of the world."

'''Sylvia:''' ''[approaches Donna]'' Well what were we supposed to do? I got your silly little message in the end. "[[BrickJoke I'm on Earth.]]" Very funny. But what the hell happened? How did you do it? I mean, what's the trick because I'd love to know–\\

-->'''The Doctor:''' But isn't that a, err, um, magnetic resonance imaging... thing? Like a err, err... ginormous sort of a magnet? I did magnetics for GCSE. Well, I failed, but all the same–\\

-->'''The Doctor:''' ''[entirely deadpan]'' Martha, before I change here's a list of instructions for when I'm human. One, don't let me hurt anyone. We can't have that, but you know what humans are like. Two, don't worry about the TARDIS. I'll put it on emergency power so they can't detect it, just let it hide away. Four– no... wait a minute, three! No getting involved in big historical events. Four, you. Don't let me abandon you. And five! [[SeriousBusiness Very important, five]]: Don't let me eat ''pears''. [[DoesNotLikeSpam I]] ''[[DoesNotLikeSpam hate]]'' [[DoesNotLikeSpam pears.]] John Smith is a character I made up, but I won't know that. I'll think I am him, and he might do something stupid like eat a pear! In three months, I don't want to wake up from being human and taste that. And six: [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Now I have to talk for around about a minute without hesitation, deviation, or whatever the other thing is.]] It's like [[Radio/JustAMinute that panel game]] on Channel 4 like Rory just pointed out. However, I'm going to move on and say number seven, and talk about my other favorite band, which is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Housemartins The Housemartins]]. I don't know if anyone remembers The Housemartins, but the best gig I ever went to was at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in about December. It must have been 1990, and The Housemartins were playing, and it was quite simply the best gig I've ever been to. They split up quite soon afterwards, I don't know what that tells you about that particular event. I'm sitting in the TARDIS now, and I'm gonna wind up soon, but not before I make a few strange noises with my mouth that will go somewhere along the lines of bingle bongle dingle dangle yikkety-doo yikkety-daa ping pong lippy tappy too tah. And 23, if anything goes wrong, if they find us, Martha, then you know what to do. Open the watch.

* While also a {{Tearjerker}}, Martha's line watching the {{UST}} between John and Joan heat up:

'''Albert Dumfries:''' Uh, very funny, sir. But if we could get down to business, there is the matter of policy, of which we have very little–\\

'''Albert:''' ''[scoff]'' Yes, quite. Very funny, but I think– ''[the Master stands up and cuts him off]''\\

'''The Doctor:''' Open the door!\\

'''The Doctor:''' Yes, she did. And she is not dead. She is so alive. Now, jump!\\

** ...And their situation goes from bad to worse because they don't have cash, and it's double rates due to the holiday, so the cabbie boots them to the curb.
-->'''Donna:''' And that goes double for your mother!

** Also, the Doctor is rubbish at weddings. ''Especially'' his own.

** According to the Doctor Who Confidential episode for this episode John Barrowman and David Tennant were ''actively trying to out run one another'' in the scene where they run for their lives, while poor Freema ''was just trying to keep up with either of them!''

[[caption-width-right:350:"You see, I'm not making myself very clear. 'Funny' is like [[TheUnsmile this]]. 'Not funny' is like [[ComicalAngryFace this]]."]]

*** The fact that she thinks he's Martian is absolutely hilarious for any older fans who remember the Ice Warriors.

-->'''Donna: '''And that goes double for your mother!

--->'''The Doctor:''' ''[taking the stage]'' OI! Santa! Word of advice. If you’re attacking a man with a sonic screwdriver, ''[grabs the mike]'' don’t let him near the sound system! ''[jams the sonic into the sound deck, sending high pitched sonic waves throughout the room that take out all of the pilot fish]''

* The Doctor trying to catch Donna... which culminates her hitting the wall and landing on her back, accompanied by a very ''Looney Tunes''-esque clang and a blank look from the Empress.

-->'''Donna:''' There's just one problem...
-->'''Doctor:''' What?
-->'''Donna:''' We've drained the Thames!

'''Elizabeth I:''' OffWithHisHead\\

'''The Doctor:''' How should I know? Haven’t even met her yet! That’s time travel for you. [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor Still, can’t wait to find out!]] That’s something to look forward to... ''[He quickly steps into the TARDIS and starts the dematerialization sequence just as one of the guards puts an arrow in the TARDIS door]''

[[caption-width-right:350:"Funny is like [[TheUnsmile this]]. Not funny is like [[ComicalAngryFace this]]."]]

** Just the exchange between Donna and the Doctor ("I'm in my ''wedding dress''!" "Yes, you look lovely! Come on!") It's borders between SkeweredPriorities and ComicallyMissingThePoint, where Donna's more worried about ruining her wedding dress than saving her own life, and the Doctor thinks it's a statement rather than a excuse for why she can't jump.

* Even though it becomes a FunnyAneurysmMoment following the events of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime "The End of Time"]], there's the Doctor hopping around on one foot trying to get the radiation out of him.

* In the sewers, Daleks Thay and Caan have a discussion about their doubts regarding Sec's new orders. Before they start, though, Caan decides to check for potential eavesdroppers... by rotating his eyestalk around.

*** HilariousInHindsight: Tennant later appeared on [[Radio/JustAMinute]], becoming the first ever guest to speak for the whole minute "without hesitation, deviation or repetition" on his first appearance.

'''Donna:''' [[SarcasmMode I'm going ten pin bowling.]] '''[[SuddenlyShouting WHY DO YOU THINK, DUMBO?!]]''' I was halfway up the aisle! ''[the Doctor begins to fiddle with the controls while she walks around, ranting]'' I've been waiting all my life for this. I was just seconds away! And then you... I dunno, you drugged me or something!\\

'''Elizabeth I:''' '''[[OffWithHisHead OFF...WITH HIS HEAD]]!!'''\\

* The Doctor, spying on the Judoon beginning their scan of the patients in the lobby, lights up like a kid on Christmas day when he realizes, "[[BrickJoke Oh, look at that!]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E1NewEarth They've got a little shop! I like a little shop.]]"
