** The Season 7 skit "Doctor Who Meets the Nerd" (2014) sees the Doctor (in a "generic" incarnation who possesses traits of the [[Third Doctor|Third]], [[Fourth Doctor|Fourth]], and [[Twelfth Doctor]]'s) taking on the show's [https://robotchicken.fandom.com/wiki/Nerd reoccuring Nerd character] as his new companion, only for the Doctor to be left exasperated when the nerd proceeds to nitpick at the low production values of the [[stone age]] setting he's been taken to (a reference to the low production values of the show's classic era). The Doctor finally decides he's had enough when a Dalek appears and the nerd simply pushes it over. | ** The Season 7 skit "Doctor Who Meets the Nerd" (2014) sees the Doctor (in a "generic" incarnation who possesses traits of the [[Third Doctor|Third]], [[Fourth Doctor|Fourth]], and [[Twelfth Doctor]]'s) taking on the show's [https://robotchicken.fandom.com/wiki/Nerd reoccuring Nerd character] as his new companion, only for the Doctor to be left exasperated when the nerd proceeds to nitpick at the low production values of the [[stone age]] setting he's been taken to (a reference to the low production values of the show's classic era).

** A Season 9 episode features a collection of skits under the title "Taking A Guess At Shows We Don't Watch" (2018), in which the writers offer their interpretations of what a show they've presumably never seen is about based on the title. The last of these skits sees a father and son involved in a fatal car accident, with the father screaming for a doctor to see to his son. An ethnic man claiming to be a doctor arrives, introducing himself as "Dr. Sunjayvandanacandanapecarpecar", with the father responding in confusion to his long name. The title card at the end reveals that the show being misinterpreted is in fact ''Doctor Who''. | ** A Season 9 episode features a collection of skits under the title "Taking A Guess At Shows We Don't Watch" (2018), in which the writers offer their interpretations of what a show they've presumably never seen is about based on the title.
