Is that.....Tennant?

[–]stealth_asian 110 points111 points ago

It IS! He's the new spokesperson for Virgin! :D

[–]BritishMongrel 127 points128 points ago

which is ironic because he must get more pussy than the front page of reddit.

[–]insidiousthought 69 points70 points ago

He's actually married to the girl who played Doctor Who's(his) daughter.

Oh daddy.

[–]Khosan 55 points56 points ago

And is, actually, a former Doctor's real life daughter.

[–]steen73 41 points42 points ago

Who's your daddy? Yes.

[–]DeedTheInky 28 points29 points ago

And they have a daughter together!

So the 5th Doctor's daughter (with the lady who played Trillian in Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, incidentally) played the 10th Doctor's daughter on TV, they then got married and had a daughter.

Christmas dinner in that family is basically Comic-Con.

[–]FalconOne 16 points17 points ago

timey wimy wibly wobly

[–]veritasug 2 points3 points ago

Had to check wiki because I always knew the Fifth Doctor as Peter Davison. Apparently he was born Peter Moffett. More confusion!

[–]Randall444 1 point2 points ago

God damn time lords, screwing up my understanding of graphs!

[–]GingerNinja831 2 points3 points ago

I don't think she was it Hitchhikers guide. I believe it was Zooey Deschanel.

[–]johansolo 4 points5 points ago

Perhaps DeedTheInky meant the BBC version?

[–]DeedTheInky 1 point2 points ago

[–]johansolo 0 points1 point ago

I knew my knowledge of all things Hitchhikers would come in handy one day! I'm even wearing my 42 shirt today for extra appropriateness.

[–]GingerNinja831 0 points1 point ago

Ohhh. I see. I read your previous comment wrong, and I thought you said David Tennant married Sandra Dickinson. My bad.

[–]bultonic 15 points16 points ago

The Fifth Doctor, right?

[–]bumblescott 6 points7 points ago

Yep.

[–]fateswarm 8 points9 points ago

Doctor Incest. That's who!

[–]Icouldbeanyone 0 points1 point ago

I thought she was Moffat's daughter. TIL.

[–]Phil_Bond 13 points14 points ago

It's just "The Doctor."

[–]HamsterBoo 14 points15 points ago

THANK YOU! This is like calling Link Zelda....

[–]txwatson 0 points1 point ago

I used to feel that way, (and in this context it would have been perfectly clear that way,) but after a whole bunch of contexts where it was just way less confusing to say "Doctor Who," it became clear that it's pretty necessary to get it wrong sometimes.

[–]Phil_Bond 0 points1 point ago

Given a choice between being confusing and being wrong, I'm pleased to go with confusing every time.

The confusing nature of The Doctor's name is the whole joke behind the title of the show. To never get the character's name wrong is to be in on the joke.

[–]cheeseflavourednose 2 points3 points ago

Also, if you guys know Romana who travelled with Tom Baker in the TARDIS, she is married to Richard Dawkins.

[–]klonopinpenguin 3 points4 points ago

Woah, and between those two marriages she was "good friends" with Douglas Adams. Somebody get Lalla Ward on Reddit, she could clean up on karma.

[–]JustSoWitty 0 points1 point ago

Romana II

[–]Cameroni101 1 point2 points ago

O_o

[–]thosethatwere 1 point2 points ago

Not the first co-star he "dated"

[–]SetsOnTheBeach 3 points4 points ago

This is reddit, and he's married so...statement is probably accurate.

[–]BritishMongrel 6 points7 points ago

it's possible that his wife gives him as much access as he can handle

[–]OppositeImage 1 point2 points ago

More than zero you say?

[–]7oby 15 points16 points ago

I got your back, bro.

Official video on the official channel.

[–]Zer_Mortice 0 points1 point ago

Thank you, sir!

[–]notjustanymike 8 points9 points ago

I was about to say, this is a strange episode of Dr. Who even by their standards...

[–]Se7en_Sinner 3 points4 points ago

Who?

[–]zombiebunnie 4 points5 points ago

Why, the Doctor of course!

[–]lalman 1 point2 points ago

Yes. What's funnier is if you look near the end it seems as if he transforms into Matt Smith.

[–]robert_the_bruce 0 points1 point ago

I watched this gif like forty times looking for the glasses thinking it was tennant, then decided to just read the comments

[–]CornieliousJay 31 points32 points ago

Because a time lord doesn't wait for anyone

[–]steviesteveo12 2 points3 points ago

If I had a convenient time machine it'd be pretty hard to stop me travelling ahead to a time where my streaming video had completely loaded.

[–]QuantmParadox 8 points9 points ago

god he's sexy.

[–]arloun 3 points4 points ago

Your doing the Lord's work son.

[–]TheOctoberOwl 16 points17 points ago

Oh David

[–]skysophrenic 26 points27 points ago

The awkward moment where the gif freezes in it's loading stage right when he's about to swing into the spinning circle of death...

[–]104080 7 points8 points ago

... and you have virgin broadband.

[–]aperfectsircle 7 points8 points ago

Tennant was pretty good in that Fright Night remake.

[–]chak757 1 point2 points ago

Ok...seriously...where is this from?

[–]nosoyunchico 3 points4 points ago

A Virgin commercial that got pulled because of its Doctor Who references.

[–]Portacath 7 points8 points ago

Really? If they didn't want Doctor Who references in the commercial, why'd they pick a former Doctor?

[–]Thaumantias 8 points9 points ago

The BBC got their knickers in a twist about it, not Virgin.

[–]nosoyunchico 4 points5 points ago

I think it was BBC who demanded they pull it. I dunno, copyright infringement?

[–]Portacath 1 point2 points ago

I thought companies would consult with each other before doing stuff like that.

[–]egg651 1 point2 points ago

Something to do with BBC programmes being used as or associated with advertising when they shouldn't because they're funded by the license fee, I think.

[–]octobereighth 2 points3 points ago

What references? Other than having the actor in it?

[–]xKazimirx 2 points3 points ago

There was a machine that was pretty much the same as the one that appears in 'The Lazurus Experiment'

[–]nosoyunchico 1 point2 points ago

When he was flipping through shows, it sowed "Doctor Who" and he mentioned it a couple times with jokes.

[–]Dexiro 2 points3 points ago

It didn't get pulled, I saw it yesterday :P

[–]nosoyunchico 0 points1 point ago

Oh, cool! I'd heard it was pulled. Do you know it it airs in the US?

[–]Dexiro 0 points1 point ago

Don't know about US. I'm from the UK and I saw it as a Youtube ad :3

[–]AEB9B 0 points1 point ago

I don't think it would air in the US no market there. It is a commercial for Virgin Media broadband service.

[–]stephendy 0 points1 point ago

There was a series of adverts, the only one that was stopped was the time travel one. The jelly fish one with Tennant for example is still going.

This was due to the advert showing Dr Who while flipping through the TV and along with the time travel reference. The BBC being a public broadcaster has strict controls on advertising/association.

[–]grimmspectre -3 points-2 points ago

Because he has good voice, and is pretty charismatic, which is what made him such a great Doctor.

[–]Ouro130Ros 2 points3 points ago

I've lost count of the times ive fapped to the buffer wheel....

[–]robotlove28[S] 0 points1 point ago

The buffer wheel just turns everyone on, I guess.

[–]llamasauce 2 points3 points ago

That is so satisfying. I know shit has to load, but I hate those things.

[–]plz600 2 points3 points ago

David Tennant smashing a buffering logo gets an upvote

[–]forever_a-hole 9 points10 points ago

I appreciate your "repost" because I have not seen this before.

[–]redditer1998 1 point2 points ago

my computer lagged durring this

[–]Taterpugg 1 point2 points ago

My hero!

[–]bac0nluver28 1 point2 points ago

DAVID TENNANT!!!!

[–]eoddc5 1 point2 points ago

GO DOCTOR GO

[–]Kartikaya 1 point2 points ago

Anyone else watch these commercials and realize how much thicker his accent is than in Doctor Who? Not a bad thing, just really noticeable.

[–]CoolBowtie 5 points6 points ago

He puts on an English accent for the show, but he's Scottish in real life.

[–]Kartikaya 2 points3 points ago

I know, but I had no idea how different his natural voice actually is.

[–]DonaldsPizzaHaven 0 points1 point ago

...while my gif loads one frame at a time

[–]KickedBalkothsAss 0 points1 point ago

It seems the Doctor hates buffering as much as we do.

[–]Mudface68 0 points1 point ago

Fuckin aye right!

[–]jarkush 0 points1 point ago

Tenant SMASH!!

[–]In_Your_Cooch 0 points1 point ago

Oh god David Tennant makes my loins warm.

[–]SimplyClouded 0 points1 point ago

The funny thing is, in my area, Virgin Media is so over subscribed in peak times the only thing I get is buffering.

[–]7_legged_spider 0 points1 point ago

Thank you, fellow Whovians.

As an American, I don't think that British shows get enough recognition on this side of the pond.

/Have seen every episode of Who (9th and after), Torchwood, Red Dwarf, Spaced, Sherlock, The Office (UK), and Coupling, among others.

[–]incoming_n_word 0 points1 point ago

It irritates me that he didn't obliterate the whole thing

[–]egleason 0 points1 point ago

If it helps after that point in the video what is left falls apart and smashes on the ground.

[–]incoming_n_word 0 points1 point ago

Oh God yes. Thank you.

[–]StrangerDanger13 0 points1 point ago

DENIED.

[–]pear_ball 0 points1 point ago

Upvote for the Doctor.

[–]LNMagic 0 points1 point ago

Man, his stance is just all wrong with that swing. I mean, he'll hit it, but that bat's capable of more.

[–]2AndAHalfInchesOfFun 0 points1 point ago

+1 for Tennant smashing a loading screen

[–]timewarne404 0 points1 point ago

hilariousgifs.com

sounds hilarious

[–]Binx8787C 0 points1 point ago

That is exactly what I want to do when reddit can't load the pictures.

[–]ugly-ogre 0 points1 point ago

This is absolutely the most satisfying thing I've seen all day.

[–]ZeeHypnotist -2 points-1 points ago

Couldn't think of anything more original for a title?

[–]Herdinthehalls 14 points15 points ago

NO.

[–]LeTrolleur 0 points1 point ago

now you stopped the download all together :(

[–]catsnstuff97 0 points1 point ago

I've never seen this so blow it out your ass.

[–]heatdeath -1 points0 points ago

This actually illustrates what a failure that icon has become. It usually doesn't represent "progress" but rather the connection being unstable. Often nothing is happening at all while that icon is up.

The icon should probably be recommending you restart your router or something.

[–]WildSeven2 -1 points0 points ago

Yep. He's sold his soul for ad money. Loved him in Doctor Who, but... Bill Hicks was 100% right.

[–]RhiannonRae -1 points0 points ago

So much repost, but still my favorite Doctor.

[–]heretoforthwith -1 points0 points ago

He can't swing a bat, probably 'cause he's a Brit. So let's see how many downvotes I get this time.

[–]reneepussman -5 points-4 points ago

What a clever title.

[–]ElKaBongX -2 points-1 points ago

This again?

[–]Lastaria 7 points8 points ago

It's David Tenannt

Tennant Strikes Again!
