History Adorkable / DoctorWho

** Apparently was this way as a teenager; when she was 15 the only pin-up she had on her wall was of Roman philosopher/emperor Marcus Aurelius.

** The First Doctor was prone to CaptainObvious statements that he delivered like hard scientific facts, giggled while beating people up with his cane, and introduced himself as [[ImMrFuturePopCultureReference Dr. Caligari]] in one serial.
** The Second Doctor played the recorder, couldn’t stop cuddling his companions, used [[GoshDangItToHeck hilariously inoffensive minced oaths]], and loved putting on disguises for no particular reason.
** The Third Doctor sang opera whilst servicing his vehicles, wore ostentatious smoking jackets and evening capes to work, acting like a told-off schoolboy if he lost a fight with TheBrigadier, and treated his ArchEnemy more like a sporting rival than a serious threat.
** The Fourth Doctor obsessed over jelly babies and his yo-yo, treated K-9 like a PreciousPuppy instead of a robot dog, and had an extremely goofy CheshireCatGrin.
** The Fifth Doctor thought a celery stalk was a good fashion choice, mimed with a cricket bat after putting on his outfit for the first time, and used PurelyAestheticGlasses to make himself look smarter.
** The Sixth Doctor, as much as he was a DarkerAndEdgier AntiHero, was not immune to this. He had a collection of cat broaches, insisted that his ridiculous coat was the pinnacle of fashion, doled out hammy [[BondOneLiner Bond One-Liners]] with no irony, and loved using big words to confuse people.
** The Seventh Doctor’s first season was full of pratfalls, malapropers, and other cutesy behaviour as a reaction to the much more brutal Sixth Doctor. It still crops up on occasion (he never loses his love of doing sleight of hand magic tricks), but it's mostly ObfuscatingStupidity.
** The Eighth Doctor had a major {{Squee}} moment when he tried on shoes for the first time, gushed about how humans were his favourite species, stole a gun from a police officer and threatened to use it on himself, and gave TheMaster a sincere TakeMyHand moment in the climax of the TV movie.
** Even the War Doctor engaged in this. His overall personality was grim and applied, but he was nearing the shift toward the adorkable phase. He seemed interested in the fez that fell through the time window, and had a doting grandpa moment when he mistook his future selves for companions. Better yet, he made snappy jokes at his captors. He also grinned like a delighted child when he sonicked the memory controls in the Black Archive because it was probably the first time in that life he got to act like his old self again and make peace instead of war. Overall, War was a very humorous and well-meaning chap. But the icing on the cake was when War started cheering with unadulterated delight when he learned that saving Gallifrey was still possible. And after saving Gallifrey, the last problem he ran into was [[DudeWheresOurCar which TARDIS was his among the other Doctors' police boxes]].
** The Ninth Doctor, easily the most serious of all the New Doctors, head-bopped to Music/SoftCell in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E2TheEndOfTheWorld "The End of the World"]] and had two uncomfortable first attempts at dancing in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E10TheDoctorDances "The Doctor Dances"]]. Also the moments of slightly awkward, raw emotional honesty ("I could save the world but lose you."; "You just assume I'm... You just assume I don't... 'dance'.") and the sweet, childlike glee and [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee fanboyish squee]] he's capable of.

** Ten was easily one of the most Adorkable of all the Doctors, especially when he whipped out the PurelyAestheticGlasses.
** Eleven thought he was much cooler than he really was. See "WHO DA MAN?!" and "Bowties are cool!" He was also a terrible dancer, had an obsession with hats, and insisted on using [[{{Dissimile}} really bad analogies]]. And we can’t overlook the fact that outside his companions, he gets along far better with kids than adults.
** Twelve seemed a bit bashful when on the receiving end of a hug, and kept up Eleven's dorky dancing.
** Thirteen seems to be just as dorky as Ten, reacting to her new face with a big, ecstatic grin while saying, "Oh, brilliant!" She also continues the tradition of using {{Dissimile}}s, being a MotorMouth, and generally having NoSocialSkills.
** Due to Ten and Fourteen sharing the same face, Fourteen comes off as this too. For starters, his reaction to the new [=TARDIS=] interior is to run around it in childlike glee.

** Eleven thought he was much cooler than he really was. See "WHO DA MAN?!" and "Bowties are cool!" He was also a terrible dancer, had an obsession with hats, and insisted on using [[{{Dissimile}} really bad analogies]].

* Martha Jones tends to react with {{Squee}} to cool opportunities, such as getting to travel with the Doctor in the first place, saved the world with a ''[[Literature/HarryPotter]]'' reference once, and is a HospitalHottie with extensive medical knowledge that often comes in handy.

Clara Oswald:

* Rory Williams: his [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E6TheVampiresOfVenice attempt to fence]] [[WhatTheFuAreYouDoing using a broom]] and his [[Reca /DoctorWhoS32E2DayOfTheMoon inability to pass for an American]] are but two examples. He also tends to lapse into BuffySpeak.
