Had a closer look now and...well...most of them seem to translate as "The Doctor is so manly! See how many women he can shag and men he can beat up!"
Which doesn't sound very much like the Doctor, does it?
They are funny. But they'd be funnier if whoever wrote them hadn't just taken a load of Chuck Norris jokes and done a search/replace with the names.
Whoever the butch, hymen-shattering uber-brute these facts describe, he's not the Doctor.
Sorry to be so bloody boring and miserable on a fun thread...but it would have driven me cuckoo if I hadn't said this.
'Cos the reasons why the Doctor (our sexually ambivalent, non-violent, geek-god hero) is awesome is because he's pretty much the exact opposite of whoever these facts describe.

Sorry to say, I didn't find them funny at all.
Don't get me wrong, I do have a sense of humour, but this didn't appeal to me.

Well, of course The Doc probably wouldn't do most of that stuff. xD That's why I find it funny I guess. x3 Oh well, to each their own. 3nodding

The Great Empress Orchid Well, of course The Doc probably wouldn't do most of that stuff. xD That's why I find it funny I guess. x3 Oh well, to each their own. 3nodding The weird thing about it is that some of them are spot on. Being about to unscramble an egg or win Connect 4 in three moves are so perfectly Doctorish. But others betray the fact that they obviously weren't originally about the Doctor. It says "In the style of Chuck Norris, Bruce Campbell and Mr T" at the top, but what someone's obviously done is just take a load of Chuck Norris, Bruce Campbell and Mr T jokes and put the Doctor's name in. It's fascinating how much 'being awesome' for some people still does resolve around having a huge c**k, inserting it lovelessly in a huge number of women and then doing some killing. I've enjoyed reading these a lot because it's reminded me how much I love the Doctor for not being the guy these facts are talking about. That guy's a p***k.

I didn't find them funny when they were about Chuck Norris*. I like them even less now.
I'm old fashioned and have been since I was seven. xp Quote: If all hell breaks loose it will take The Doctor about 45 minutes to get it under control.
*While we're on the subject, who the bloody hell is Chuck Norris anyway?

*sigh*
Wait.. what? o-O
Chuck Norris, apart from being distantly related to one friend and having another friend actually meet him... he's got like.. blackbelts in every other martial arts thing on earth. (only one of three people to acheive eighth-degree black belt status in tae-kwon-do, among a million other things.) And yes, I looked that up. XD
He did movies, sure, but also a show that I loved as a little kid (Walker, Texas Ranger). And according to them and other articles I've read about him, he's incredibly nice and doesn't like using violence as a means to an end.
Back to the point:
I've gotten so sick of Chuck Norris jokes.. I liked a few that were actually thought out, but the rest were annoying to read.
About the Doctor: The stuff like 'win at Connect Four in three moves', like Richard_Swift said, is funny because it's true. The rest are either so ridiculous because it's the polar opposite of the Doctor, or so irritating because they clearly describe a stereotype of one of the three people mentioned at the top of the first post. >_>

I concur with Richard. I'm getting stupid urges to go through and make a shorter list of all the non-peeing, non-fighting, non-sexing ones.
It's the wrong sort of ludicrous to have the Doctor be a sex machine. Honestly... when he could kiss people without nearly swooning, back in his eighth incarnation, he seemed not to understand it as anything more than a gesture of affection, and now he gets it, he stammers and nearly swoons when anyone kisses him. NOT a sex machine.
And it's the wrong sort of ludicrous to have him fighting and shooting guns. I don't think he's fired a gun since his fifth incarnation, and apparently Ten now has a stick shoved up his nethers regarding firearms. And as far as he and Bambi's mum goes... he probably nearly cried when she was shot.
And as for the peeing... no comment.
But the ones involving paper clips, vanity, dangerous good looks, various acts of cleverness, defying physics, etc... those work. Because they're exaggerations of things he'd be inclined to do or claim he's done.
TAKING IT WAY TOO SERIOUSLY. dramallama

hazuki sliver Now for a sugesstion, how about, the doctor created the show Doctor Who? Well, that one's true. smile At least according to Steven Moffat... Decalog 3 Proffessor Arthur Candy (as dictated to Steven Moffat):
The Doctor, of course, knows that we are watching. And when, as has happened more than once, a culture extrapolates his existence from his multiple interventions in thier history, the Doctor has a favourite 'panic button'. He simply slips back in time and introduces himself as a fictional character in the popular mythology of that particular world. As a consequence, there are now millions of races all over the universe following his adventures in one form or another without ever realising their deadly significance. Naturally, it becomes all but impossible to explain to the Intelligent Tree Spores of Xandar 6 that the hero of their popular weekly bark carvings is a real and dangerous phenomenon when they're too busy complaining that the carving looks a bit cheap and sniggering at the space ships.

And let's not forget in Remembrance of the Daleks what's on the tv that Ace is too impatient to wait to warm up in 1963! XD

Richard_Swift Being about to unscramble an egg or win Connect 4 in three moves are so perfectly Doctorish.  So less Chuck Norris, more Mahjong Legend Akagi, then?
