From MadCap's Couch - "Doctor Who: Daleks in Manhattan"

"We're in another Russell script?"
"Sadly, no...but we might as well be."
...look, I really don't wanna do this one.

Seriously. I really don't.

Can we just skip ahead to Victory of the Daleks? I promise, it's fun. Yeah, it's stupid, but you've got really cool stuff in it. Not like this. This really doesn't do it.

Please? C'mon. It's skipping Series 3 and 4, I know...but c'mon. It's the Moffat era in the early days, it's significantly better than this. C'mon...please?

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

...oh, wait, that's the wrong franchise. Or is it? Let's begin...

From MadCap's Couch - "Doctor Who: Gridlock"

"But it never rains in New New York!"
"That's Southern California."
Everybody hates bad traffic, right? It's a pain in the ass no matter where you live. Such as it is five billion years in the future. Sure, you thought flying cars were going to be the savior of the automotive system, but that doesn't seem to be the case. At least it isn't for the couple from American Gothic, who get their car destroyed by...something.

...seriously, though. American Gothic? Just...why?

From MadCap's Couch - "Doctor Who: The Shakespeare Code"

"Hey, have I got something in my teeth?"
So you know that awkward feeling when you hit on a girl and she invites you in for a good ol' Elizabethan Era in out, in out, only for you to be torn apart by her and her mothers in a very different orgy than the one you were intending to have that night?

Yeah. Sucks, doesn't it? Especially after the third time it happens.

From MadCap's Couch - "Doctor Who: Smith and Jones"

"I'm the Doctor, I can do what I want."
Martha Jones is just an average medical student with an average life. She works from nine to five, hey hell she-oh, sorry, that's somebody else. Indeed, however, Martha Jones is a medical student. Going to her schooling one day at the Royal Hope Hospital, she chats with various members of her wild and kooky family. Her brother, Leo, is having his twenty-first birthday and Martha's trying to keep the peace between the family, in particular her separated mother and father who are squabbling over her father's desire to bring his girlfriend to the party.

Then, the Doctor walks into her life and takes off his tie.

Lou Ferrigno throws a bear into space.

Lou Ferrigno THROWS A BEAR INTO SPACE.
