Doctor Who Is Powerless Against the Might of Yakkity Sax (and Eminem, For Some Reason)
Assumably lovely TR commenter Jennifer just left this link as a comment on the Lamest Doctor Who Villains daily list from a couple of weeks ago, but I had to share it with the rest of the class. It’s clips of Doctor Who set to the surprisingly applicable Benny Hill theme, a.k.a “Yakkity Sax”?but with Eminem rapping over it for no discernible reason whatsoever. Who fans?I don’t begrudge you your franchise at all, but I hope none of you are fooling yourselves that Doctor Who isn’t goofy as all hell. This fan video is proof positive, and I’m pretty sure would stand up in a court of law.
P.S.?It should be noted if anyone sends me any fan videos set to “Yakkity Sax,” I will almost certainly put it on TR. I have a weakness. See you on Monday, folks.
