Doctor Who/Memes: Difference between revisions

{{Memes}}{{work}}

* The Angels Have The Phonebox. <ref> An in-verse meme, from a line in the Doctor's messages he hid on some DVDs and popular amongst the people attempting to understand them.</ref>

* "Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't turn away, and ''don't blink''... good luck." <ref> The Doctor's warning to two people about to be attacked by the Weeping Angels. Used by fans as a summary of both the unrelenting horror and [[So Cool Its Awesome|sheer awesome]] that was that episode.</ref>

* The Master gives memetic mutation [[Insult Backfire|two thumbs up.]] <ref> The Master just smiles and gives two thumbs up to his most recent murder victim that declares him insane.</ref>

** [[Ear Worm|Rat-tat-tat-tat, Rat-tat-tat-tat....]] <ref> The drum beats that constantly plague the Master, used as part of his global hypnotism network and a sign of his control of the planet.</ref>

* I'm so...Hungry! <ref> The Wire says this before eating people and leaving them as [[The Faceless]].</ref>

* "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" <ref> What the Daleks have shouted before they kill people since 1963. An iconic aspect of both them and the series as a whole, and its single most well-known meme.</ref>

* "[[Omnicidal Maniac|THE DESTRUCTION!]] [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|OF REALITY!]] '''[[Chewing the Scenery|ITSELF!!!]]'''" <ref> Davros yells this at the end of his explanation for his plans to end the entire multiverse.</ref>

* "What? WHAT? WHAT?!???!?" <ref> Seasons 2 and 3 of the new series ended on a cliffhanger of something seemingly impossible happening and the Doctor having this reaction.</ref>

* These memes are stored [[Nightmare Fuel|behind the sofa]]. <ref> It was (and is) a meme for decades that ''Doctor Who'' was so terrifying children could only watch it while hiding behind the sofa.</ref>

* Fan''tas''tic! <ref> The Ninth Doctor's [[Catch Phrase]].</ref>

* "Are you my mummy?" <ref> The repeated line the [[Monster of the Week]] in "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" says. Began as pure terror, ended as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].</ref>

* "Yes, we know who you are." <ref> The reaction whenever Harriet Jones introduces herself as "Harriet Jones, Prime Minister". Began as a joke, ended as a [[Tear Jerker]].</ref>

** Never stop crying, Emo John Smith. <ref> When the Tenth Doctor becomes John Smith in "Human Nature"/"Family of Blood", he cries. A lot.</ref>

* BARROWMAN!! *shakes fist* <ref> David Tennant's standard exclamation toward John Barrowman one-upping him at something. Accompanied by [[Skyward Scream]].</ref>

* "[[Reverse the Polarity]] of the neutron flow!" <ref> Said precisely ''once'' by the Third Doctor (and again in an anniversary reunion special specifically for the joke of him saying it), adopted by the fans as the standard line of [[Techno Babble]] the Doctor uses.</ref>

** ...of Rassilon! <ref> Nearly every piece of Time Lord equipment was named "The X of Rassilon".</ref>

* No, not the ''mind probe!'' <ref> The most famous instance of [[Narm]] in the entire series. The actor simply ''could not'' say the line without the bizarre pronunciation.</ref>

* From "The Waters of Mars": "The Time-Lord Victorious" and "The laws of time are mine and they will obey me!" <ref> The Doctor decides that with the Time Lords gone the laws of Time are his now, and he doesn't have to obey the concept of "fixed points in time".</ref>

* From "The End of Time": {{spoiler|There's a lot of photos with John Simm's head pasted on yay...}} <ref> The Master possesses every person on the planet, superimposing his own image on theirs'. Cue scenes with dozens of John Simm.</ref>

* "Hey! Who turned out the lights?" <ref> A repeated line said by one of the people killed by the Vashta Nerada in "Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead", caught in a loop in a communication device. Like "Don't Blink" above, used as a summary for the episode.</ref>

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sXpInWFVVo Mighty Morphin Dalek Rangers]. <ref> Mocking the hysterical new designs of the Daleks as shown in "Victory of the Daleks", not helped by the scene desperately attempting to portray the reveal as dramatic and terrifying.</ref>

** "Why am I watching this? How does it look different than any other video of the moon landing?" <ref> Comments on clips of the above scene reference the fact that humans don't see "Steve" but only remember the hypnotic suggestion. So why is the clip so popular?</ref>
