  • Notes (read if you care idk): - This video is updated from last year's with clips suggested by commenters and other clips I added to this video, which is why the video is longer. - I'm not planning on updating this video with more clips or when the next Doctor comes, I'd like to move on to other stuff. - I'm not uploading Doctor Who videos on this channel anymore, there's a 2% chance I might upload some on my second channel youtube.com/@roamerfunky (which is still not a Doctor Who channel, I'm just more likely to upload there than here). Sub there if you care, unsub here if you care, do what you want. - 15 doesn't specifically react or look at his face in The Giggle or The Church on Ruby Road and I don't see why he would in future episodes, so the closest and only clip for him is his post bi-generation scene. - 14 talks about 10's face returning for basically most of the 60th specials, so I'm just sticking with his initial shocked reaction from The Power of the Doctor. - To the one person who asked, I'm sticking with the telesnaps for The Power of the Daleks for 2's initial reaction and not the animated recreations, I'm just lazy. - I uploaded this video late instead of around when The Church of Ruby Road aired because I was away from my laptop for a vacation abroad for a month and only recently was able to edit and upload this now.

    Almost every Doctor after regenerating: Well, it's not perfect, but there's good parts and bad parts; I'll make it work. The Sixth Doctor: I AM THE HOTTEST PERSON WHO HAS EVER LIVED, THIS BODY IS LITERALLY PERFECT.
  • @thomas4841
    "Don't look at that mirror, it's absolutely furious." is a great line
  • @Windxchild
    It must be so weird, to respond to your own face, as if it is the first time you see it. I love how they addressed Capaldi being on the show before though. It really made sense as well.Very fitting
  • @emmeeemm
    I love how absolutely wounded 14's pride is when Mel calls 15 "beautiful". Looks like those vanity issues came back with that old face lol
  • @mistere1984
    Doctors 2-5: Guess I'll get used to it. 6th Doctor: I'm gorgeous!
  • @bloxrocks5179
    "my face is fresh on" random guy: so then i decided i didnt want to keep hanging out with this serial killer
  • I love how early 12 is such a blend of anger and curiosity and kind contemplation
  • @jricks3909
    That transition from disappointment or confusion to acceptance has always been a good lesson on how to deal with unexpected changes in our lives. That's why the regeneration gimmick work so well even before Matt Smith spells it out in his last speech as the Doctor. Except for the Sixth who was pompous from the off but that's part of his charm.

    6: "Each time with diminishing effect. You have nothing to fear." 10: - blows up TARDIS' console chamber and sets it on fire - 12: - sets TARDIS on fire - 13: - has to go outside to avoid blowing up the TARDIS -
  • @toyotatacoma1616
    Six trying to show peri his reflection by shoving the mirror in her face is so subtle but absolutely hysterical.
  • @TimeMaster131
    >13th Doctor realises he’s Scottish >immediately robs the first person he sees What were you implying BBC?
  • @seizuresalad1558
    The comedic timing of the transition from peri calling the doctor's clothes dreadful to her getting assaulted by him is fucking gold.
  • Sometimes I like to think their last incarnation is still in The Doctors mind when they see themselves in the mirror

    I've never watched Doctor Who myself. But I will say I think the idea of having a character that changes faces every time they need a new actor, and they acknowledges that "Yes my face is now different.", giving it an explanation for why this happens, I find that to be an ingenious idea in on itself. And from what I can see and tell, I think each individual actor does a rather phenomenal job on acting the same precise odd way, since they are all the same character, they just regenerate and changes their face every now and then. I love when they give logical in-universe explanations as to why something is or happens.
