There have been explicit references to Doctor Who within episodes of Game Grumps:
- In the 2013 episode "The Right Path", Jon starts mimicking a Dalek saying "EXTERMINATE" and then both he and Arin talk about liking the Ninth and Tenth Doctors and the episode "The Girl in the Fireplace".[3]
- In the 2013 episode "A Quest in Space", when Ross sees the time rift, he says that it makes him want to watch Doctor Who and asks Dan if he's seen it. Then when Roger Wilco is travelling through the time rift, the two start singing the Doctor Who theme.[4]
- In the 2013 episode "Exploratory Inventory", when Professor Lloyd's hologram mentions the computer having unravelled the mysteries of time travel, Ross whispers "They have a TARDIS." with Dan asking "I don't know what a TARDIS is, is that a Doctor Who thing?", which Ross then chastises him for.[5]
- In the 2013 episode "Global Dragoning", when they open up the Elder Scroll and view into the rift in time, Ross begins singing the Doctor Who theme.[6]
- In the 2014 episode "Triple Grapple", Ross mentions that the nerdiest thing he does when Holly's not home is playing either the USS Enterprise or TARDIS engine noises whilst he's asleep.[7]
- In the 2014 episode "Jump Scare City", after running down stairs whilst being chased by a ghost, Ross states that ghosts can't use stairs just like Daleks.[8]
- In the 2014 episode "Innuendo", when they acquire the Sonic Spanner, Ross explains that it's a reference to Doctor Who, to which Arin replies "More like Doctor Poo".[9]
- In the 2015 episode "Trial and Error", Dan talks about a made up character named Doctor Hu, a Chinese doctor who's constantly made fun of in regards to his name and asked where his TARDIS is, which then replies aggressively "I'M NOT THAT DOCTOR WHO!".[10]
- In the 2019 episode "Yume Nikki: Dream Diary", when encountering the dead branches Arin mentions that "these all tickle your butt-hole [sic] if you don't look at them, if you don't pay attention to them, they're like, it's like Doctor Who", a reference to the Weeping Angels.[11]
