Eleven's "Geronimooooo!". He's my favourite Doctor, but I always hated that.
The exchange between Nine, Rose and Jack in Boom Town: "And off we go! Into time! AND SPACE!" Saved only by Mickey's highly appropriate reaction. Shame it's a family show, he could have told the smug gits to "shut the **** up".
Van Statten naming the Dalek "Metaltron". I know they're genocidal psycopaths, but come on, such a bland name is insulting! I much preferred "Ironsides". :cool:
Whenever the Doctor gives a big, dramatic speech to his enemies about how scared they should be.

Oh yes! Especially Matt Smith's Underhenge speech, it's just awful and then he ends with the frankly underwhelming 'Let someone else try first', and they all run away! Urgh.

That speech really was cringeworthy, I had forgotten about it, now I have to think of it all again, YUCK.
By far the worst line for me has to be in the End of time part 1:
'President Obama's got a big speech, he's going to fix the recession'
Yes, that was pretty terrible. What made it worse was how the people having the conversation seemed so unlikely to utter those words!
I think it was just an attempt to reference "current events," which is something RTD tended to do a lot (particularly in the bigger episodes). I think it unfortunately dates some episodes very quickly. I find it difficult to watch "Bad Wolf" now because how dated the game shows make the episode seem now, for instance.
I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm nine hundred and three years old. And I'm the man that's going to save your lives and all six billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?
Well actually, yes.
This post is twinned with the unpopular opinions thread.
The line where the 11th refers the Clara being an enigma wrapped up in a skirt too tight
I almost expected him to start rubbing his thighs whilst guffawing like Sid James after saying that. And that line where he refers to Amy as 'The Legs' is very jarring IMO - yes, she's a beautiful young woman, but it's rather like hearing the Sixth Doctor referring to Peri as 'The Breasts'.
In reference to the second quote, I admire Moffat very much as a writer in most respects but he does occasionally seem to be stuck in the world of 1970s sitcoms where women are concerned...
Anytime one of the fresh from the local AmDram extras in Turn Left utters the words 'theres something on your back' and manages to give a line delivery that wouldn't have made the cut in an early Hammer horror film.
Anytime Donna slipped into comedy working class cockernee sassy mouth. Painfully Annoying. And even worse because she did the dramatic moments so brilliantly.
Just couldn't abide the 'Oi! Zip it spaaaaaceboyyy! I ain't your wife' etc.
and the fact every one of those moments was accompanied by that irritating piece of 'isnt this wacky!'music. I forget what the actual piece is called.
Edit- of course. It was Donnas theme! What a 'legacy' to have that as her main theme compared to the beauty of Rose, Amy and Claras.
I actually found it really juvenile and cringeworthy, it was quite embarrassing to watch. I can understand it was meant to make Eleven appeal to the kids watching but it was still bad.
Lumic's, "And how will you do that, from beyond the grave?" was bad, but worse was Kendrick's reply: "I don't quite understand."
It's the C21 Who version of "Nuzink in ze world can stop me now!" (So, because I'm silly, I rather like it. So bad it's good territory.)
Disagree with people who don't like the 'underhenge' speech. I love the part before he get's all dramatic when you here an off camera bit of feedback from the microphone and the Doctor saying "Whoops. Sorry. Dropped it." Pure Eleven.

Yawn
Agree never found it funny

Utter dross written clearly by someone with no understanding at all about how the economy even works.
Awful, truely awful.
Also in the same episode came the whole were 100,000 miles above the Earth bit, where the Master has every missile ready to fire.
So? even if by some stroke of luck there was such a missile that had a range that is 4 times around the Earth - Totally impossible and pointless!!
It would take, at supersonic speed, Days to get there. LITERALLY DAYS!!!
1000mph would take 100 hours, thats 4 days.
Poorly written dross.

Actually, any time Martha says
she really is dross. Apparently she is on children's bbc now. Fancy that

Not Nu-Who but arguably the worst delivered line in Who history!

and people say Eleven was too childish at times? Sheesh.

but many others.
"Doctor Whoooooo? Doctor Whoooooooooooo? Doctor Whooooooo?"
Yes!! The two you mentioned drive me to distraction.
Ha ha ha! I was going to suggest this, but you described it beautifully!

Oh yes and her "It can't be!". Ageyman was pretty poor with her line delivery across the board. As was Karen Gillan to a smaller degree.
"It's called marriage..." BARF!!!
Yes. I watched this the other day, I felt for poor Eccleston having to deliver that line.
