Doctor Who: 11 Funniest Moments From The Eleventh Doctor

11. The Snowmen

2012 Specials. 25 December 2012. Everything about the exchange between The Doctor, Strax and Clara early in The Snowmen is funny. As Strax arrives at the carriage door, Clara asks what he is. "Silence boy!" he snarls back. The Doctor accuses him of being easily confused and Strax corrects himself: "Silence girl!", then tacks on "sorry lad" by way of an apology. The Doctor immediately raises the ire of Strax by describing the Sontarans as clones and claiming "two genders is a bit further than he can count" and Strax snaps back: "Sir, do not discuss my reproductive cycle in front of enemy girls. It's embarrassing". The Doctor asks Strax to get the Memory Worm and sets the scene by explaining to Clara that "one touch on your bare skin and you lose the last hour of your memory". Soon enough, Strax has no idea what's going on. The Doctor reminds him that he'd sent him to get the Memory Worm but Strax asks, "Did you? When? Who's he? What are we doing here? Look! It's been snowing!". When The Doctor accuses Strax of not using the gauntlets Strax asks, "Why would I need the gauntlets?". The Doctor is speechless, so Strax gives a knowing wink and asks "do you want me to get the memory worm?". Finally, on his back underneath the carriage to look for the Memory Worm, Strax finally confirms he can see it, but by the time The Doctor excitedly asks "have you got it!?", a dazed and confused Strax responds, "Got what sir?" Clara points out the gauntlets still sitting in the cab, just as Strax calls out "Sir! Emergency! I think I've been run over by a cab!".
