Doctor Who is quite well known for its humor. Whether it is the overall campiness of the original series, or some of the more subtle or sexual jokes of the revival, that humor has never really left. There are plenty of little jokes and jabs in each episode, especially if one is looking for them.

Looking at Nu Who, we have plenty of these jokes and puns to choose from. Perhaps this is due to Steven Moffat’s past as a writer for a sitcom called Coupling, which was about various relationships. Putting a sitcom writer on a show with its history of fun and camp just seems like a match made in comedic heaven. Perhaps inserting little puns and jokes in each episode should be, if it isn’t already, Moffat’s main job on Doctor Who.

Naturally, given how many different jokes, subtle plays on words, or other fun jibes back and forth with the different interactions on the show, there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, to choose from. Unfortunately, we are not able to list them all, and while I am sure that you would rather look at Doctor Who jokes than do work on a Monday afternoon, listing them all would likely be a never ending process.

With that being the case, here is my list of the five best subtle, or, in some cases, not-so-subtle, jokes in Doctor Who since 2005. If there is one that you enjoyed, but did not make the list, let us know in the comments!
