This list came so close to having no bad scenes on it, but the Abzorbaloff had to go and ruin everything didn't it.

This scene picks up with Peter Kay's naff villain chasing down his next victim, Elton Pope, through a series of back alleys. Just as Elton is about to be absorbed, the TARDIS materialises and the Tenth Doctor steps out, before the Abzorbaloff is melted down into a goopy mess after Elton snaps his magic cane.

Absolutely nothing about the Abzorbaloff works, and he's one of the worst villains in the Doctor's rogues gallery - whether you're talking classic or modern. Kay's humour doesn't land, the costume looks painfully cheap (it doesn't help that this scene takes place in broad daylight), and his voice sounds like someone attempted to autotune it, couldn't get it to work, and then just gave up halfway through.

A bad villain, a bad episode, and a bad scene. Yet, even in spite of this, it's managed to rack up a whopping 8.1 million views, making it the third most popular clip. We're guessing that there's an element of morbid curiosity influencing people's clicks here.
