The Fourth Doctor on The Simpsons

[Magmaster13]

This aired around the same time the TV movie came out on Fox.

[Wyrmling12]

@Magmaster13

Oh God, don't even mention that awful movie!

[magnetv]

well, this was aired before the revival

[ronieitan]

Cool 0:11

[PeppyDoABarrelRoll]

"Im going to kill him with this Jelly baby"

LOVE Tom Baker :3

[silvervixen1111]

OMG that blows my mind and I don't know why!

[HoTLink2006155]

OMFG I ALWAYS WONDERED WHO THAT WAS

[cheesedoodles11]

wtf is the forth doctor doing on the simsons? oh well...

[ion010101]

@cheesedoodles11 Because no one cares about any other era of drwho. The other eras are gay activism, not a real tv show. The old weird drwho was more like The Twilight Zone. The new era is just using the old lore of an established old tv show so that no one need take the risk of inventing an original show - and they're doing Buffy crossed with Jersey Shore. It's just a coincidence that it's called "drwho". Only the nerdy, adult-children fans can't tell the diff.

[PsylomeAlpha]

@ion010101 where exactly is this "gay activism" in the doctor who series revival?

[ion010101]

@PsylomeAlpha ........ not sure if serious or not.

[MisterPenguinMusic]

@PsylomeAlpha Yeah, I disagree with ion010101 on most of the stuff he said, but in the Davies era there was most certainly a lot of gay preachyness. The anti-religion stuff is way more prevalent, though. 

[killbotvii]

@MisterPenguinMusic Davies did a good job of respecting the religious community, steven moffat...not so much. Don't get me wrong, both are fantastic writers, but both could also see some improvement in certain areas.

[MisterPenguinMusic]

@ion010101 One can't be a fan of both series's? Doctor Who has always been somewhat of a vehicle for political activism, in the old series and the new. Yes it gets old and tiring, but other than that the show/s are still great.

[ion010101]

@MisterPenguinMusic Well, it depends on who you are. I liked drwho when I was a kid b/c the hero didn't have to be beautiful and didn't seem worried about being "cool". The format, sound, look and feel of the show was different from the rest. It told stories, not "drwho". It wasn't trying to be an ad for itself. One could sense that generic things like the obligatory pretty girl, generic monsters... were just the vagaries of television. New Who is television as usual, with a gay theme thrown in.

[MisterPenguinMusic]

@ion010101 Well, I disagree. I've never sensed any difference, but I hadn't watched (much of) the original show until I discovered the new one. The over gayness is gone, by the way. Hasn't really appeared much in the last two seasons, since Moffat took over.

[AnnabelleComments123]

This one was on today on fox8, just saying

[nightwing4077]

Where's Captain Kirk?

[TheNeiraaa]

The blue book on mayor Quimby's table is the diary of River Song.

[captainalex91]

I saw this episode about 5 times before I was age 10 and prior to my introduction to the Doctor. Rewatching this blows my mind

[Starguy256]

So, the esteemed representatives of TV are Urkel, 3 simpsons characters(Which is fine, this IS the simpsons), and the 4th doctor? odd.

[stargirl1796]

this is so cool

[Jawiin]

You can never go wrong with Tom Baker.

[Lajvaren98]

SVENSKA :D

[14warr]

Wow. I got alot of replys. I want more!

[unicornpower171]

They also did another Doctor Who cameo-thing in the ninth episode of the tenth season.

[XxLittleMissMisFitxX]

Whoa I totally never caught that!

[DakotaCelt1]

Tom Baker is the first doctor seen by Americans of the classic series. 

[germanvisitor2]

I want to see some of the old episodes :-(

[thephilipfn]

Fanns Ztv faktiskt kvar år 2009? :o

[diamondolphi]

He's also on the episode when they go to england, in the airport.

[CatEyeNewsChannel]

whisch episode ?

[Bainer55]

who was the black guy with glasses coming in with them? Urkle?

[TechnicSage18]

Bet he offered the people in the meeting a Jelly Baby

[RitoLink]

Twenty Minutes! We can do this!

[Thelasttimelord10]

What? I know which one the Doctor is but what?

[Arcadiah]

@Thelasttimelord10 its Tom Baker I believe

[CatalystOfTheSoul]

Tom Baker: Esteemed representative of television.

[AnaFilipexD]

@CatalystOfTheSoul Tom Baker: Esteemed representative of awesomeness.

[maastona]

Wtf I WANT MY 60min back! Assholes.

[RadicalDreamerWD]

Let's not forget the "Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl" sequence from Treehouse of Horror where Comic Book guy has the 4th Doctor trapped in a giant ziplock bag.

[trouts4]

OHOHOHOHOHOJH

[AndyRaslan]

Did you know that and asteroid was named after one of Tom Baker's ex-wives, Lalla Ward?

[WARRIORJERICHO251]

Steve Urkel at 0:12

[InsertNameHere297]

he was also in the star whale episode of futurama

[athomicritics]

wait wheres his bag of jelly baby ?

[yves0010]

@14warr: I think cause hes the most notable and the most people will associate with Docor Who.

[14warr]

Why do the Americans only ever do Tom Baker in their paradies

[Popcultureguy3000]

@14warr Because most of the 5th Doctor plots didn't impress most American sci-fi fans.

[14warr]

@Popcultureguy3000 What about the 1st 2nd and 3rd

[Popcultureguy3000]

@14warr Probably not aired on PBS until after the 4th Doctor became popular.

[AlaskanGenius]

@14warr Because once you take out the new doctors, Tom Baker was by FAR the most interesting actor.

[Godscarmachine]

@AlaskanGenius

While I would say he was the best of the originals(Though I'm debating to whether or not Tom or David did the best doctor), I wouldn't say he was by FAR the most interesting. Have you even seen all of the 2nd Doctor's episodes? Even the missing ones on audiobooks? Probably not.

[AlaskanGenius]

@Godscarmachine meh. Why is everyone who argues with me on youtube using the "you don't know" line on me?

[CocoMunky]

@AlaskanGenius Looks like you don't know why you don't know. lewl

[LifeOutsideTheBubble]

@14warr I think it's pretty obvious that it's because Baker is the longest serving doctor, and, therefore, in many ways, the most iconic.

[Dstorm20xx]

@14warr

Doctor who isn't nearly as popular here (It should be) Most people, if they have ANY knowledge of doctor who it's Tom Baker seeing as he is/was one of the most popular doctors.

[Blacknordok]

@14warr

Because he was the most poular doctor in the USA

[MsTrixxi666]

@14warr cos he was the best doctor? just saying.

[NateSean]

@14warr Probably because Tom Baker was on for seven years as the Doctor and most American audiences are familiar with his episodes.

[AlexanderT21]

@14warr Because he's probably the most recognizable one, he was a fan favorite and lasted the longest.

[PatchesRips]

@14warr Cause all the other Doctors were PUNKS, that's why!

[Girintina]

@14warr We did Matt Smith....like once 

[erikdraven1731]

@14warr Even when he isn't (physically) seen, his character and mannerisms are always recognizable. He even appears in an X-Men graphic novel and his giveaway is his "how about a jelly baby" line.

[elfhermie]

Because we love him! Classic Doctor Who was only shown on public television in the States back in the day and only proud nerds watched it hardcore. It really was a cult show. Still, tons of casual channel flippers would stop and watch Tom's episodes every once in a while late on Friday/Saturday nights. He was quirky, fun, and eccentric. Baker's Doctor has achieved a Chaplin like status here. His costume alone is instantly recognizable as Doctor Who. The other Doctors...eh, not so much.

[ptyko]

@14warr Tom Baker was the most famous and most seen Doctor because Americans rarely got to see any other Doctor Who episodes.

[danieldunican]

@14warr because tom baker was the first doctor who actor aired over there

[CharizardIam]

@14warr I have no diea

[ixowa]

@14warr because He's the only one they know.

[keinve2]

@14warr Because Tom Baker is THE Doctor.

[louisocannard]

@14warr because Tom Baker was playing the Doctor for the longest time, and is seen as THE Doctor.

[HighKingTurgon]

@14warr Because he's the most beloved stateside.

[wingweaver84]

@14warr Probably because he's THE most iconic Doctor(and this is coming from a DT fangirl)

[dalekdude180]

@wingweaver84 best fangirl ever.

[AhMahVlogAh]

@14warr They don't know of any other Doctors.

[ObiTrev]

@14warr Because we like scarfs in our parodies... S C A R F S ! ! !

[jacobpotter]

@14warr

Probably because he's the most iconic and popular out of the lot of them? (at least, before 10 and 11 showed up)

[TheWeirdMatt]

@14warr Tom Baker is the most iconic and recognizable doctor for the U.S., especially before the new Who.

[TheIVGamer]

@14warr because he is teh best

[mabiniss2]

@14warr idk. But my best guess would be that since Doctor Who isn't as known in the states as much (although its fandom is growing), I would think that they use tom baker more because of his scarf. If they put a cameo of the 9th doctor or the 10th doctor I don't think people would recognize the character and thus not get the joke.

[TUNDRAStrt]

@14warr It's the show creator's favorite Doctor. Also the most recognizable for the people of Matt Groening's age group

[MadeOfAwesomenessGuy]

@14warr because he is the easiest for non-whovians to recognize

[jemmytaveras]

@14warr 'cause Americans only know Tom Baker as the Doctor!

[TheCakeIsALieGxG]

@14warr Tom Baker is one of the most highly regarded Doctors in the classic series over here, at least within my circle of friends and the people I've seen around the internet. The fifth is also another common favorite. : P

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

@14warr It's because of nostalgia. Before the series with the ninth and tenth Doctor's and the overnight explosion of the Doctor who mania in the U.S.  Most Americans were first introduce to Doctor Who by the Tom Baker era. And for many years and to this day there is a strong cult following of the Tom Baker Doctor Who related era. It's the reason why Tom Baker is my favorite Doctor. His era was the first one i saw when i was little.

[zooropah82]

This guy is Tom Baker, the first doctor I saw in Dr. Who when I was a Kid, Circa 1980.

[Cocoabine]

He was in a recent episode of Futurama to.

[krZabii]

@Cocoabine Two of them.

[Cole1494]

@krZabii Two Doctors, or two episodes, also i saw one in moby dick what is the other one?

[aptspire]

@Cocoabine there was a head whose name was 'Amelia Pond' in a Futurama episode :D

[Popcultureguy3000]

@aptspire There were several of those same heads in that episode, and that British alternate utimeline second half was horribly written by Futurama standards. The jokes were so bad that I thought I would be offended by them if I were a native resident of the U.K.. Those jokes seemed so shoehorned in, and I thought that the British alternate timeline plot was only partially developed by the time the episode was released. I honestly think it would have been better as a two parter.

[borgduck]

@aptspire What about Leela?!

[aptspire]

@borgduck agreed, I also think it's a reference :D

[itachifangirlsXoX]

what season was it?

[LATEXDOLLTOMBOY]

Becsaausethen If that Was Erkle making guest appearance,-not only would the audience have the 4 Th Doctor who as 1 time Traveler,**IF that was Erkle from Family Matters,He wouldve been the 1990's 2nd TV time traveler character (Making a time machine out of a PORT-A-POTTY?! if I was that Doctor Who standing that close to Erkle,I would be majorly insulted about spoofing the TARDIS!!)

[Jaidabecca]

Man, back when I was little & I saw this episode I could never figure out who that was. I knew all the others except that one person. Thanks to this video, though, now I know it's the 4th Doctor.

[chocolatefountain95]

his nose isn't that big in real life

[iamnotdrtran]

Was that Urkel?

[CYBERDOODY]

The 4th doctor has had such a huge influence on TV!!

[thewewguy8t88]

thats so random.

[QueenBonesofdarkness]

he looks a bit like jonathan creek there

[fivebearrugs]

I wonder why The Simpsons haven't used the 4th Doctor's time-tunnel intro as one of their couch gags...

[Greatsaiyakirby]

@fivebearrugs Because Family Guy did it in Blue Harvest.

[fivebearrugs]

@Greatsaiyakirby LOL, true, but The Simpsons have had over 20 years to use that! Heck, I would've loved to have had a gag where Homer comes in and sees ALL the Doctors on his couch :)

[TheTempleHunter]

At the last second Kent Brockman shoots a very strange look at either Urkel or the Doctor.

[twimatt]

OMG im THICKHEADED right now!!! didn´t even recognice my own language in the text!!! *slaps myself on the head*

[ZaffireWolf]

Is the Simpsons even on TV anymore?

[PumaOPumaOPumaO]

@ZaffireWolf

Yeah, but not as good.

[Stinkfly3]

Why's this guy well known when newer fans don't know who he is???

[ion010101]

@Stinkfly3 Because that era of Dr.Who was a real tv show; it was the definitive, it hadn't yet become a parody of itself, and it hadn't been taken over by other people so they could do a gay version of an old children's tv show. Serious people know that everything outside of that era is just milking it, just commerce. Fanwanks don't know the difference, so they get all confused.

[ruthk9ramos]

He shows up a lot in Simpsons--so far he's was in simpson's comic book about the British invading Springfield,lol.

[DavrosTheKaled]

Yanks don't deserve to use such a GOD.

[celticlove555]

The scarf xx

[GrimnEvil4Ever]

jellybaby anyone?

[DavrosTheKaled]

@GrimnEvil4Ever I wouldn't ask Davros, he'd knock them out of your hand :O!

[1firebornrage]

Wow!I never realized that until u pointed that out!

[SsnakeBite]

HA HA HA! I only discovered Doctor Who with the new series so I remember that back in the days when I saw that scene, I asked myself "who the Hell is that guy with the scarf?"

[MST3K1506]

@SsnakeBite

I was in same boat myself until I got into Doctor Who a couple of years ago.

Now I really like to see what all 11 Doctor's would look like properly Simpsonified.

[supermadman]

This the episode where side show bob threatens to explode an A-bomb if all television is not taken off the air.

[ifyoucouldbeavampire]

i saaw urkel too

[emberwing77]

Oh HELL yes

[shinhawk]

From the first time I saw this as a kid up until now, I never knew that was the Doctor.

[ollytennant]

He's also in the one where Bart and Lisa have superpowers and Comic Book Guy has collected real people from Sci-Fi things. =D

[huwfylt]

@ollytennant

Which episode is that

[ollytennant]

@huwfylt I think it's one of the Treehouse of Horrors. Not sure which one...just Wiki'd it. It's Treehouse of Horror X. The story called Desperately Xeeking Xena.

=)

[lildarlin1999]

tom baker lol!

[serenhedges]

lol

[allen3601]

WHAT THE TOM BAKER

[DLGFTW]

Possibly the greatest thing ever?

[Imacoolgai]

He was in another episode, too. One of the treehouse of horror episodes, Comic Book Guy kidnapped the chick who played Xena and later on you see he has the Fourth Doctor there as well.

[megroll01]

witch episode is this?

[Smallvillenerd]

YEAH! Tom baker is cool. (not as coo las Pertwee or Davison in my opinion tho)

[SamuraiYattaro]

Doctor Who.... and is that Steve Urkel?  LOL

[Xirnefer]

lol Tom Baker!!! 8DDD

[godofwar123fan]

what episode is this

[LaraElSupergirl]

DaibloDBZ said it. Tom Baker owns (though personally I'll always have a soft spot for Pertwee...)

[TeJap2]

OMG! XD

[MetalheadJay78]

Just another reason why Baker is THE best doctor. You never saw "The Simpsons" using another actor who played him..did you?

[muttilo]

@MetalheadJay78 He is for certain the most well known in the US .Especially my agegroup . I remeber from PBS in Miami early 80's ahhhh

[LeonSKennedy828]

@MetalheadJay78 Tom WAS a great Doctor, he's tied with David Tennant as my second favourite, but Pertwee steals it for me.

[MetalheadJay78]

@LeonSKennedy828 Tom Baker revolutionized the role and was overall the best in the role. He IS the image and was born to play the Doctor. Many of my favorite stories are from the "Jon Pertwee era" though. He would be #2 after Tom Baker for me. Actually, they're probably the only two Doctors I care for in general. However, David Tennant doesn't even come close to these greats.

[LeonSKennedy828]

@MetalheadJay78 You don't even like the first two? And I guess opinions will vary, but I adored Tennant in the role as much as Baker. Come to think of it, I love all the Doctors besides Colin Baker and even he is decent in the audio stories, it was the TV shows' writers that let him down, and the costume designers...

[MetalheadJay78]

@LeonSKennedy828 It's not that I dislike the other Doctors, I just feel that nobody comes remotely close to encapsulating the role in every conceivable way like Tom Baker did. I also feel that I can relate moreso to Tom Baker's doctor. I also think the writing was best during the Pertwee and Tom Baker eras too. Sorry, but David Tennant and the modern series does nothing for me.

[cartmann94]

dont forget to buy 100 tacos for $100, as you need adequate nourishment like the Comic Book Guy for the next Dr Who marathon lol

[Dubzoomember]

@cartmann94

You'd be dead if you had a Complete Doctor Who Marathon. It's 28 days, you can't go that long without sleep. 100 tacos isn't gonna cut it.

[StealthClaw1]

@Dubzoomember what if you slept in the commercials and had lots of 5 hour energies?

[Dubzoomember]

@StealthClaw1

Yeah, but then there's the danger that yiu might miss something. And seriously what channel would be mad (and awesome) enough to play Doctor Who straight for about a month (with ads)?

[siriusmarauder]

Bahahahaha!!! That is hilarious!!!

[TheLazysketcher]

Lol Tom baker! xD

To think ive never noticed that before!

[tomkatt747]

awesome

[ipoop2much]

@conoritania

Had the most seasons but technically not the longest to hold the role :-P

[jhibbitt1]

@ipoop2much i assume ur referring to paul mcgann as he was considered to be the current doctor from 1996-2005?

[aerohurtz]

NIce was that Steve Erkel?

[DuckiePhatt]

he was in it twice, on season ten in the background of a syfy festibal thingy...

[problemofficer]

BRA SVENSK TEXT :D

[camoxide]

Why is it always the 4th Doctor people reference? 

[LonesomePine369]

@camoxide he is the most memorable...and the best ;)

[newguy33X]

@camoxide I think he was hugely popular compared to others around the same time.

[conoritania]

@camoxide

because he was the longest doctor ever!

[SuperSmasher1]

@camoxide He was the most viewed, longest running and most well known in America.

[Tamashi88]

@camoxide because he is the one that most people know ...he was the longest lasting doctor -around for 7 seasons and countless serials :)

[ruthk9ramos]

@camoxide Because he was the longest running one and easy to picture with his scarf and jellybeans.

[MadelinAro]

GAHAHA.

That's freaking amazing.

[blueeyesaf]

There have been like ten diffrent doctors over the years but David Tennant is my all time favorite without a doubt. I love doctor who best show ever.

[233312]

@blueeyesaf well actually there have been 11 different doctors

[pupbenny]

Oh no sorry! The mini episode was called Desperately Xeeking Xena.

[pupbenny]

Oh wait it's Treehouse of Horror X.

[pupbenny]

He's also in another episode. A treehouse of horror one. I can't remember which treehouse of horror but the mini episode that he was in was called The Collector.

[kingpanzer17]

i love his "what the fuck" face at the end

[ponsko32]

fan jag saknar simpson på ztv kolla på det hella tiden

[thedoctorand]

He's now known as "That voice over guy" on Little Britain.

[enj06]

@thedoctorand He's awesome as the voice over guy, but to me he's the doctor

[StoliDassah]

@enj06 and to me, he'll always be Puddleglum the Marshwiggle <3

[SuperLegoMan100]

OMG it should be jon pertwee

[ruthk9ramos]

@SuperLegoMan100 yuppers

[LeonSKennedy828]

shame he never spoke XD

Wonder if 10 will never make a cameo with how popular he was? XD

[MizzFrisbee]

LOL The Doctor always looks so spaced out on The Simpsons X'D

[konokitsune]

"Spaced"out?

[SsnakeBite]

@MizzFrisbee Which is ironic considering the real one always looked hyper.
