10 Unintentionally Funny Doctor Who Deaths

[@VeracityLH]

Seriously, the Slitheen murdered by pickled eggs, pickled gherkins, and pickled onions didn't make the list?? "You kiss this man?" Green cottage cheese exploding all over Mickey and Jackie? "When they fart, if you'll pardon the word, it doesn't smell like a fart, if you'll pardon the word..." The whole scene was ridiculous!

[@refsmithy]

I suspect the reason why that particularly death didn't make it is because that always came across to me as a very intentionally funny death.

[@AtomicMama42]

The whole Slitheens species (don't ask me to spell it) is RIDICULOUS and I love them

[@theunigamer194]

​@Katie Speed their entire species aren't called Slitheen. Slitheen is a crime family. The whole species are Raxicoricofallapatorians. From Raxicoricofallapatorius

[@vishaansingh1019]

It is very obviously intentional comedy

[@sarahglover3286]

To be fair to the plunger death its been a running joke for forever on why Daleks have plungers. Finding a way to kill someone with them was an attempt to make that as scary as the whisk, might not have worked but the idea was there!

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

I think it looks more like a paint roller base without the roller refill than a whisk...

[@liamwilliams1794]

With the sycorax death, i found it really convenient that he just happened to be standing of a kind of trap door at the time and that there was a lone button on the wall that 10 just happened to know operated it.

[@plantainsame2049]

I kind of thought it was a wing flap addenda make the big rock they strapped a rocket engine to slightly more aerodynamic

[@frasermccready8238]

I thought it was like the equivalent of a pirate plank. Where victims are thrown off the side

[@Croftice1]

@@plantainsame2049 Most likely was. But it's still awfully convenient, that controls for that flap are just a button on the outside of a door frame. Like who ever does control the flight of a ship in an atmosphere of a planet from outside of a door? XD

[@Ineffabl3]

Imagien if mickey had actually died by getting eaten by a trashcan 😭😭

[@NurseDemars]

Actually in Kerblam, it was not the robots programmed to explode but rather the bubble wrap around the items inside the box. Death by bubble wrap.

[@julianaylor4351]

Plastic chairs were very fashionable at the time. At the time the death by chair, wasn't funny, it was very controversial and many people were disgusted. It's only become hilarious over time, as attitudes have changed.

[@strathruncie]

Number 9, the acid bath scene, has been pilloried by moralists and antis for decades. Thank you for retelling it more objectively. 😄

[@ladycplum]

I think at the end of the day it was the Doctor's "James Bond quip" at the end that didn't go over too well.

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

A better acid bath scene was done by Vincent Price to his cheating wife in the classic "House on Haunted Hill"... ;-)

[@MrMann0123]

I feel so bad for the Blue Peter winner who designed the Absorbalov due to all the mocking over the years. Kid did could. Show didn't.

[@cloud9979]

Honestly the plunger scene and to a lesser extent the idea of the adapose genuinely disturbed me as a kid.

[@Captainjohntaylor]

Let’s not forget Simmons being “suckered to death” in Dalek as well. Surprising they didn’t at least mention that alongside.

[@subbtopp]

oh when I first saw the chair suffercating that block, scared the shit out of me, and that creepy deamon devil doll. eeek. we need more scares like that

[@stuartcork1249]

The most ridiculous death scene that always comes to mind on how silly Doctor Who could sometimes be is from Paradise towers. Where two old ladies are eaten by a hoover!

[@Charliefarley170287]

“Big Davey T” really made me laugh

[@reubenmanzo2054]

Now, does that refer to David Tennant or Russel T. Davies?

[@stephenbardy6570]

I think I'm the only one who really likes Love and Monsters. It was a great paced Doctor-lite episode that focused on personal relationships while looking into just who The Doctor was. Peter Kay was fine in his role. But the beginning running back and forth like the Scooby Doo gang was a bit silly. And definitely the alive faces in the Absorbaloff was too weird. If the creature had been played more straight with evil intent, rather than a big green mohawked alien looking like he was having an orgasm at absorbing his last victim, I think this episode would have been seen in a much better light.

[@Cyberbeagle1000]

C'mon Ellie! The disco dancing deaths of the soldiers in Resurrection of the Daleks has to be up there!

[@west24thstreet8]

Besides it being convenient that there was a trap door at the place during the Sycorax death I love that scene. I felt the death was meant to be slightly funny cuz of the scream. And I still take Tennent's peforemance serious with the inclusivion. but I will admit the death itself was a bit funny.

[@sandytrust]

This channel always makes my day!

[@williammorton6633]

Love seeing the Mandrels from Nightmare of Eden. Death by Karate is so funny 🤣 if only they used Venusian Akido or walked away at a brisk pace. Warriors of the Deep could and should have worked /been so much more. You have the Sea Devils, the Silurians and an 🌎 teetering on the edge of war.

[@doppelganger3992]

That chair should be in a corner of the TARDIS with a don't sit on my sign on it.

[@DanBrizuela]

Part of the show’s charm is its silly campiness

[@100CupsColombia]

I was 5 when that plastic chair ate that guy and it was horrific

[@daisysunshine1324]

I know I was relieved I had a foam chair that’s back was a teddy bear face. I wasn’t too keen on it before, but I realised death by plastic chair was far worse than being rated by a teddy chair lol.

[@SuperFunkmachine]

The kandyman and the fondant surprise.

[@Croftice1]

I think the victims of the Abzorbaloff die eventually with time, being fully absorbed, like being melted by an acid, but it didn't get to that, because the Abzorbaloff didn't live that long in the episode. It makes zero sense, that they would be forever imprisoned in his skin. It's like saying your food will last forever in your stomach. That's simply ridiculous. And yep, Dorium's death makes no sense, because of the deals with the Headless Monks. He knew, how dangerous they are, yet he thought, that being his customers will save him. Come on, Dorium, you're a clever guy. At least they gave him a good wi-fi signal. XD Oh the death of poor Stacy was btw an accident created by Donna fidling with the amulet thingy. Miss Foster didn't plan to kill anyone, originally she wanted to harvest enough Adipose in secret, which means converting only small amounts of bodily fat (and only fat) from lots of victims. That wouldn't kill them, but would still produce enough Adipose anyway. But with Stacy she ordered a total conversion with bones and stuff, because someone was on their tracks. And later for that same reason she ordered to harvest all of what they had at disposal (from every sold pill), instead of what they initially planned. Her plans changed by the Doctor and Donna investigating. Although later in "Turn left", it's revealed, that millions of Americans were completely converted to Adipose and the Doctor wasn't around to prevent it, but that episode worked with worst case scenarios anyway (Atmos poisoning, space Titanic blowing up London and stuff). It's not like that would happen, if Donna and the Doctor weren't involved at all. Perhaps in that alternate universe (created by Donna's Time beetle) someone still took the investigation and forced Miss Foster to drastic measures.

[@Morphstock]

I always found the Terror of the Autons scene one of the more unsettling deaths in Doctor Who, but more for the way the victim is dominated by the Master than the "special effect".

[@pikachucetthesecond4296]

Honestly Doctor Who is at it's best when it's being really campy and ridiculous if you ask me

[@lp-xl9ld]

How about the explosion of the Slitheen in New Series 1? Oh, wait, someone DID bring that up

[@Venemofthe888]

I mean 6th Doctor didnt kill either guard tbh. He startled one and the one in the acid pulled the other in

[@Crazyplantlady-p8l]

man how could u not include the iconic ‘what are you gonna do, sucker me to- BLHSHSHS’

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

Being eaten by a chair is the feeling of anyone trying to get out of their bean bag (why does anyone buy those things?)... ;-P

[@xanderwardwell-gaw7472]

Stacy melting into Adipose babies absolutely traumatized me as a kid.

[@aliceandbendyadventuresint7811]

8:41 Terry Nation a.k.a The 1963-1989 Dalek creators original idea was to spend the least amount of money as possible and started obviously low budget and use plungers for a arm so they could see through their cameras on Skaro and on Earth in their ships and originally their gun used to shoot squirts of paint make the characters see through and the entire screen was very bright until the shot characters fell and it would go back to normal but then Russell T. Davies came along and changed the dalek models make everything more expensive with the plungers extracting brain waves and the guns with what looked like actual lasers coming shooting out. Mostly I prefer the old ones better because the original crew used everything they had for the daleks first appearance in 1963 so the daleks perfer some respect

[@GrievousApproved]

Atleast none of them came back as a paving slab! Oh wait. Hang on… got me dying

[@jonathanbrett-warren2031]

Omg! I just realised that Stacey is the same actress in Baby Reindeer!

[@msthalamus2172]

I can't be the only one who liked "Love and Monsters"-- it was silly, and I liked that! I don't think it deserves the level of hate sent its way, to be sure.

[@tzarg]

love and monsters is the absorbaloff one right? yeah I will never get the hate that episode has, especially from this youtube channel, doctor who has always been goofy. The only problem with the episode is when martin says "we even have a bit of a love life" that felt kinda yikes-y but other then that

[@StudioGhibliFan494]

So, Morvin & Foon dying comes across as bullying, yet it's in a list of unintentionally funny deaths in Doctor Who? The way that Marvin & Foon were treated was bullying. I like the Van Hoffs & I'm always upset about the fact they were bullied relentlessly. The adipose are cute, but Stacy dying just wasn't funny at all. She was really scared & confused. Some of the deaths in this list shouldn't be on the list at all.

[@matriculus2]

Let's not forget Soldeed's overacting in Horns of Nimon.

i fear it being forgetten but Love and Monsters is based on an idea from a Blue Peter competition winner.

[@generalilbis]

The Absorbaloff is the product of a Blue Peter competition, yes. The episode was an attempt to utilize it...but the writers misused a potentially super scary monster by focusing too much on the human disguise's campy behaviour.

Mr. Delgado I'm probably not saying his name right we haven't had no real master.

Have someone that that did a lot of stage acting if you going to do another Master because it's something about that mr. Delgatto did a wonderful job and we need more bastards like him more evil characters like him thank you letting me give my opinion.

[@brianartillery]

Roger Delgado's Master was perfect. Witty, urbane, sarcastic - and not once did he ever go full on manic. Everything was calm and menace. He was utterly charming, too - he'd definitely take your mother out to a nice steak dinner, and never call her again - or shrink her with his TCE, and leave her on the table, with the unpaid bill. Missy is the only one who has come close to the original Master.
