I think an underrated gag people don’t talk about enough is poking fun at the Doctor for certain attributes related to their current face:

With Eccleston it was the ears.

Tennant being a skinny boi.

Matt, it was the chin.

Capaldi was the eyebrows.

WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO WITH NCUTI?!?! HE’S PHYSICALLY PERFECT!

I’ve just had the WORST idea for a recurring gag in Doctor Who!

Any time the Doctor is subject to psychological torment, they have to watch Adric die again and again and again in increasingly convoluted and comically stupid circumstances with no way for the Doctor to stop it.

Such as:

Suddenly getting run over by an ambulance, hit by a robotic arm, a stray bullet, trampled to death by a crowd of stampeding pedestrians, falling down a comically long flight of stairs, accidentally electrocuted, death by coconut (LOOK IT UP!!!), dancing too hard and dying (NO ADRIC! DON’T JUJU ON THAT BEAT!!!), getting lost in fog and disappearing, mathematical calculation gone wrong (oh wait, NO!!!!), nuclear fission warhead, chemical reaction gone wrong, falling into a geyser, premature obituary, crushed by the falling debris of a space satellite, hit directly by a meteorite, hit by a train (not even ON the tracks), attacked by BEES!!!!, disappearing helplessly into the void, sucked into a black hole, hit by a cricket ball, bucket of water, contempt of court, sucked into a jet engine, MRI machine accident, instantly frozen to death by a combination of liquid nitrogen and witchcraft, crushed by a falling bookshelf (and the books), exploding leaf blower, THE SLUDGE, loophole exploitation backfire, feedback loop, escaped crocodile, skydiving accident (no parachute), a very menacing pomegranate, sudden nonexistence, airborne fire hydrant, sudden depressurisation, bomb disposal gone wrong, evicted from reality, TOUCHING THE SNAIL, killed by a giant crab, falling out of a window, trying and failing to define Xnopyt, sudden blood loss, random organ failure, hit by a falling pear or some other such fruit, falling into a volcano, getting lost in a corn field, roadside fever, eaten by a wall, showered with gifts and promptly smothered, ambushed by a boar, slowly kicked to death, assassinated with a bucket, suddenly exploding, spontaneous combustion, revolving door accident, tripping over a pig, killed by an ostrich/emu/cassowary/some other flightless bird, ricin, prank gone wrong, cable car accident, locked in a cupboard, falling on a turnip, tsunami, laughing too hard at a joke, dragged through a briar patch, rolled up in a rug, falling through a roof, stray poisoned arrow, mistaken identity, falling out of a plane or helicopter, Olympic flame lighting gone wrong, heart attack, sudden explosion at a computer server bank, special tree, sudden and severe information mismanagement, swallowed by a whale, turned into a marketable plushie, FICTIONALIZED, crushed by a vending machine, trampled by an angry hippopotamus, etc.

And any other sort of ridiculously circumstantial and comically convoluted deaths.

“ADRIC, NO!”

*dies again*

Yeah.

N7Month Challenge - Day 10: Rifle

Commander John Shepard had been accused of many things during his service in the Alliance and as a Spectre, but tax fraud because of a faked death was new. He'd been close to death several times before, when he grew up on earth and was running with the wrong people, during his first years serving the Alliance, on Akuze... but he'd never died. Not until the Collectors had shown up two years ago. Two years of the galaxy just putting their head in sand and ignoring every warning of his former crew. Two years wasted of their remaining time, two years of his life Shepard had been dead, but now he was back and accused of TAX FRAUD. Of all the things the Citadel's high and mighty could care about...

John stood and waited patiently until the C-Sec officer had done his job and he was clear to enter. He should go talk to Udina or whoever was the human ambassador at the moment, he only now realized he didn't even know. He didn't have time to read up on anything since Ceberus had brought him back. Having to work with them didn't sit well with him either, but beggars can't be choosers, right? It wasn't like he could just walk away from them. Especially not if the Citadel accused him of tax fraud and the Alliance hadn't even bothered checking up on the rumors that he was back.

Entering the Zekera Ward John had not been prepared to see his own face on a big screen. He froze for a moment.

Savior of the Citadel Commander John Shepard [...]

He stopped reading and clenched his hands into fists. John didn't know what he had expected the Alliance to do, of course they would use his face on their recruitment posters. But it didn't sit well with him.

At least no one stopped him and asked for an autograph or something as he walked through the busy hallways. There were some people whose eyes followed him or who turned around to look after him, but he didn't stop in his tracks. He had never really cared about all the attention, that wasn't why he'd become a soldier all those years ago.

John stopped in front of Rodam Expeditions and entered the shop. Going through the shop's stock he noticed the M-29 Incisor Sniper Rifle listed for sale. It was tempting, very tempting. But also way too overpriced for his budget. He was about to leave again when the clerk recognised him.

The M-29 would be delivered to the Normandy and Shepard smirked to himself when he left the store some time later.

"I am Commander Shepard and this is my favorite shop on the Citadel."

As much of a soft-spot as I have for the Spider-Man: Clone Saga, I never understood why the creative team hated the name “Scarlet Spider” so much!

Like... it’s a perfectly fine name, and it was just so annoying to have Ben whine about the name as a “running gag”...

There's an old movie called 'One Body Too Many'.

From 1944, it stars Jack Haley (aka Tin Woodsman from Wizard of Oz) and also has Bela Legosi playing a butler. It's a pretty by-the-book slapstick mystery flick. The classic trope of a group of people getting together for the reading of a will, they have to stay at the house to collect, people start getting murdered, yadda yadda.

Haley plays an insurance salesman who gets caught up in the mystery to try and help out the niece because there's always a romance in these movies.

It's nothing too exceptional, but I love it and watch it often for one joke. A running gag that doesn't pay off till the end of the movie. The whole movie is up on YouTube, so if you want to try it out spoiler free, then stop reading here.

Anyway, the group are almost all scheming of ways to increase their share of the inheritance. Bela Legosi's butler and the housekeeper seem just as sinister. Especially after a scene where Legosi is making coffee for everyone and picks up a can of rat poison.

"There are too many rats in this house," he states heavily to the housekeeper. "They need doing away with."

Throughout the rest of the movie, the butler keeps offering coffee to the other characters who all have some reason to refuse. At the end of the movie, after the murders are solved and the hero gets the girl, Legosi and the housekeeper each pick up a cup of coffee from the tray and drink it, remarking how good it is to each other.

I didn't think much about it the first time I watched the movie, but when I watched it again, the true hilarity finally struck me. Because everytime someone refuses the coffee, Bela Legosi is always visibly disappointed.

And while on my first viewing I took it as disappointment that his scheme wasn't working out, on the second I realized that it was genuine sadness that nobody was trying his coffee. You have to remember, all of these people spend the majority of the movie being openly hostile to each other. Yet this butler is SO proud of his coffee that he takes it to all of them anyway.

And he really tries too. Telling them how good it is and how it's actually relaxing and won't keep them awake. But they all find some reason to turn him down and poor Bela Legosi hangs his head and walks off because not one person will drink his good, good coffee.

It never fails to make me giggle.
