1''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLccTWX-ThfI1R-BbqyLQclspccd79X64s The Bugger Anthology]]'' is an AbridgedSeries of ''Series/DoctorWho'' parody videos by Joe Vevers.
2
3Each episode of the anthology stitches together various clips from Dalek-focused episodes into short videos. Alternate dialogue and audio is often inserted into the footage to give the characters sillier lines or drastically overhaul the plot.
4----
5%%Dalek and Cyberman dialogue is conventionally formatted in sentence case, using AssCaps: [[AC:Like this]]. When adding Dalek and Cyberman dialogue, please stick to these formatting rules.
6!!''The Bugger Anthology'' contains examples of:
7* AdaptationalIntelligence: Unlike the series proper, the Cybermen handily come out on top of their verbal mud-slinging matches with the Daleks.
8** In the original "Bitch Fight" episode, Jast has no recourse to the Cybermen taunting him about his sensor globes looking like disco balls other than [[MurderIsTheBestSolution killing them]]. Even Sec's famous "better at dying" line is reduced to a LameComeback when the Cyber-Leader mocks him for taking forever to think it up in the Void Ship.
9** In "Bitch Fight II", the Daleks are unable to overcome the Cyber-Master's sassisness, and try to draw more power from [[ItMakesSenseInContext their subterranean bitch pump]] - which then overloads and blows up the entire Earth.
10* AdaptationalJerkass: The First Doctor is a bit of a prick in "The Dalek Invasion of Funk", getting drunk and causing the evacuation of the Dalek nightclub when he takes a dump in the ventilation shaft as a prank. It's notably the only episode where all the Doctor's dialogue is redubbed from the original.
11* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The Death Squad Daleks address the Defence Drone Daleks as "B&M Bargain Bin Boys".
12* AerithAndBob: The Daleks have a wide variety of names, ranging from sufficiently alien-sounding ones (Caan, Malek) to names that are normal by human standards but do not fit giant pepperpots from space well (Ricky, Bertha, Lynda) to names intended primarily to be jokes (None Pizza With Left Beef, Thanks For 25K, ABBA Megamix).
13* AffablyEvil: While the Daleks are still as murderous as ever, the anthology depicts them as highly chatty and possessing a sense of humor. At one point some Daleks apologise to the Doctor for not being more hospitable, while Dalek Bernard Ponsoby is pretty friendly with Leo as it possesses him. Probably at its peak in "An Unearthly Dalek" and "The Dalek Invasion of Funk", where they're just trying to run first a restaurant then a nightclub, only to have both ruined by the First Doctor.
14* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The subtitles in "The Bitch Fight of Canary Wharf" refer to Mickey Smith as "the man, the myth, the legend, the idiot".
15* {{Beat}}: After Dalek Sec says the Cybermen are better at dying than the Daleks are, there's a solid ten seconds of silence before the Cyber-Leader asks how much time Sec spent thinking up that comeback.
16* BerserkButton:
17** Dalek Jast does ''not'' take kindly to his sensor globes being misidentified. When a pair of Cybermen refer to the globes as disco balls, he responds by exterminating them.
18** The Cyber-Master shrugs off all the Dalek insults with ease in "Bitch Fight II" - until they remind him that [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E6TheAgeOfSteel Gareth]] remarried.
19---> '''Bill Cyburr:''' [[AC:Hey-ey-ey!! What the hell, man?!]]
20* BlatantLies: The First Doctor describes his latest prank as being "high-brow, civilised, and with a touch of class." The prank in question involves [[ToiletHumour dropping a deuce down an air shaft]].
21* CountryMatters: The Doctor furiously calls Davros a cunt in "It's me, Davros", though the middle of the word is censored by a bleep in the audio and by asterisks in the subtitles.
22* DeathByAdaptation: Jack Robertson allies himself with the Death Squad Daleks in "[[Recap/DoctorWho2021NYSRevolutionOfTheDaleks Revolution of the Daleks]]" and manages to make it to the end of the episode alive. In "Not My Daleks", he gets exterminated almost as soon as he starts talking to them.
23* EvenEvilHasStandards: Played for laughs in "Groundhogmanay of the Daleks". The Daleks find Nick making a shrine with his exes' belongings in "Eve of the Daleks" to be creepy, and are out to kill him. Not that it stops them trying to kill everyone else, of course.
24--> '''Dalek Simon:''' ''[To Nick]'' [[AC:Stay where you are!]]\
25'''Dalek Percy:''' [[AC:And learn some bloody boundaries while you're at it!]]
26* EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped:
27** The subtitles for "The Stink of Humanity" transcribe what the choir in the (non-diegetic) background music is singing, but renders it as a keysmash.
28** Parodied when the Doctor gives a speech after he gets a new regeneration cycle in "The Time of the Daleks". While he's perfectly understandable until the Dalek Supreme starts talking over him, the Doctor's words are subtitled with a FunetikAksent that quickly deteriorates into words that only vaguely sound like what he's saying, and eventually a sentence just ends with "blah blah blah".
29--->'''Eleventh Doctor:''' Did you menshan... THA ROOLS? Now, lizard. Vitamin vice. Sell me the troop, if you BlahBlahBlah...[[note]]"Did you mention... THE RULES? Now, listen. Bit of advice. Tell me the truth, if you think you..."[[/note]]
30** "Groundhogmanay of the Daleks" just gives Dan "Dan noises" whenever he speaks.
31* FunWithSubtitles: The subtitles of the videos are fairly accurate but frequently add additional humor, most often in the form of giving the Daleks goofy names. Other jokes conveyed via subtitles include most of the series' {{Shout Out}}s, revealing the thoughts of characters who lack dialogue, implying the TARDIS' mind is contained in the lamp on top of the police box, referring to the sounds StompyMooks make as being "stompy clompy", and [[EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped transcribing the choir in the background music as gibberish]].
32* GotVolunteered: The Cult of Skaro detects Cybermen approaching their position and decide one of their number needs to investigate further. Even though Dalek Jast was the one who suggested the idea, he ends up having to deal with the Cybermen due to being the last Dalek to say "not me".
33--> '''Dalek Sec:''' [[AC:Not me.]]\
34'''Dalek Thay:''' [[AC:Not me.]]\
35'''Dalek Caan:''' [[AC:Not me.]]\
36'''Dalek Jast:''' [[AC:Not me - ''damn!'']]
37* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: "Groundhogmanay of the Daleks" features Dalek Yurtle, a Dalek even other Daleks make fun of for being a terrible shot.
38-->''[Flashback starts]''\
39'''Dalek Cheese and Wine:''' [[AC:You couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo!]]\
40'''Dalek Darius:''' [[AC:If you fell over, you'd miss the floor!]]\
41'''Dalekky Bill is How Much This Month?!:''' [[AC:[[BrutalHonesty You don't aim good]].]]\
42''[Flashback ends]''\
43'''Dalek Yurtle:''' [[AC:Well that last one was a little rough, but I get where they're coming from.]]
44* InsistentTerminology: Dalek Sec takes offense at the Cyber-Leader referring to the Void Ship he and the other Daleks came out of as a sphere.
45--> '''Dalek Sec:''' [[AC:It is not a sphere. ''It is a void ship.'']]
46* InstantlyProvenWrong: Jack Robertson decides to support the Daleks because they're "powerful, intelligent creatures"... while two factions of Daleks are fighting each other and [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud saying]] "[[AC:[[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud pew pew]]]]" [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud as they fire their guns]].
47* LiteralMinded: Dalek Sec proudly [[BadassBoast boasts that one Dalek could wipe out five million Cybermen]], only for Caan to volunteer to be that one Dalek.
48--> '''Dalek Sec:''' [[AC:I was being figurative.]]\
49'''Dalek Caan:''' [[AC:Oh.]]
50* {{Metaphorgotten}}: When JARVIS objects to performing a test flight due to lack of information in "IRON DALEK", the titular character starts quoting Tony Stark's [[Film/IronMan1 "Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk"]] line, only to get sidetracked partway through due to the line lacking applicability for Daleks.
51-->'''Iron Dalek:''' [[AC:JARVIS. Sometimes you have to run... Before you can... Slide around on the floor...]]\
52'''JARVIS:''' [[LampshadeHanging I'm not sure that's the saying.]]
53* MoodWhiplash: "The Clash at Dalekdome" has an extended sequence of the New Paradigm Daleks singing a Music/{{Metric}} song. It suddenly ends when the music cuts out and said Daleks exterminate their predecessors.
54* MurderByMistake: As the Doctor and Rose Tyler [[MeadowRun happily run towards each other to reunite]], a Dalek tries to warn the Doctor that Rose has a gun before declaring it'll get her. It shoots the Doctor by accident.
55-->'''[[AC:Whoops...]]'''
56* MySensorsIndicateYouWantToTapThat: Dalek Sec notes that Rose "has become very sweaty" at the sight of the Doctor.
57* MythologyGag:
58** The "Dalek Invasion of Funk"
59*** Dalek Seth gets high and hallucinates William Hartnell's original First Doctor morphing into David Bradley's much more recent portrayal.
60*** After the Doctor ruins their nightclub, the Daleks pack up and head back to Skaro to set up a restaurant - and if they do run into the Doctor, they'll just pretend that don't recognise him for continuity's sake. This is a funny nod to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth the serial this video is based on]], which was famously vague about whether it was earlier or later in the Daleks' history than [[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E2TheDaleks their original appearance]].
61** In "Bitch Fight II", Dalek Fendan Braser tells his opponent it heard Gareth remarried. The Cyberman with the broken emotional inhibitor that the Doctor and Mrs. Moore talk to in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E6TheAgeOfSteel The Age of Steel]]" got converted right before she was going to marry Gareth.
62* NoodleIncident: In "The Dalek Invasion of Funk", Ian Chesterton agrees to visit a nightclub on the condition that the First Doctor doesn't get thrown out like he did during "cousin Sally's birthday".
63* NoYou: Dalek Jast and a pair of Cybermen get into an argument over who will identify themselves first. The second time Jast orders them to identify, a Cyberman repeats back what Jast said with additional emphasis on the word "you".
64--> '''Dalek Jast:''' [[AC:Identify yourself!]]\
65'''Cyberman:''' [[AC:You will identify first.]]\
66'''Dalek Jast:''' [[AC:You will identify!]]\
67'''Cyberman:''' [[AC:''You'' will identify.]]
68* OhCrap: Unlike the Recon Dalek in "[[Recap/DoctorWho2019NYSResolution Resolution]]", Iron Dalek fails to deflect an incoming shell from a tank with one of its own missiles. The Dalek can only utter "[[AC:Oh, ''BUGGER!'']]" before it gets sent flying by the resulting explosion.
69* OncePerEpisode: Every video has a Dalek say "[[AC:Bugger!]]" at least once, whether it be out loud or conveyed via subtitles.
70* OverlyLongName:
71** The Dalek that says "[[AC:Bugger!]]" in "The Stink of Humanity" is named Dalek [[ComicBook/IronFist The Immortal Iron Plunger]] Protector Of Kun Lun Sworn Enemy Of The Hand.
72** The crowdsurfing Dalek in "The Dalek Invasion of Funk" is named Dalek Was That The Emperor Laughing Holy Shit.
73* PoopingWhereYouShouldnt: In "The Dalek Invasion of Funk", the Doctor takes a dump in the ventilation shaft of the Daleks' nightclub as a practical joke.
74* PrecisionFStrike: The Doctor, who's usually adverse to swearing, has only one thing to say to Davros in "It's me, Davros".
75--> '''The Doctor''': Davros, you [[CountryMatters c**t]]!\
76'''Davros:''' ...well, that was unnecessary.
77* RhymingNames: A Dalek in "The Dalek Invasion of Funk" is identified by the subtitles as Dalek Malek.
78* RuleOfThree: "The Bitch Fight of Canary Wharf" has the word "bugger" uttered three times in response to someone getting identified: twice by a Dalek and Cyberman when they accidentally identify their respective races, and once by a Dalek when Rose points out the Doctor.
79* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Both factions of Daleks in "Not My Daleks" yell "[[AC:pew pew]]" while they're firing their guns.
80* ShootTheBullet: Iron Dalek attempts to deflect a shell from a tank using one of its own missiles. Key word being ''attempts''; the fired artillery ends up missing each other and the shell hits Iron Dalek anyway.
81* ShoutOut:
82** When the Daleks rewind some video footage with the Tenth Doctor and try to identify him in "The Bitch Fight of Canary Wharf", the subtitles suggest he's [[Series/JessicaJones2015 Killgrave]], another character portrayed by Creator/DavidTennant.
83** "The Stink of Humanity":
84*** The first time Jack Harkness speaks, the captions refer to him as "[[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Captain Jack Sparrow]]".
85*** The name of one of the Daleks quotes the superlatives associated with ComicBook/IronFist, though the character's name is rendered as "Iron Plunger" due to Daleks lacking hands.
86*** The TitleDrop of the video is accompanied in the subtitles by the phrase [[WebVideo/CinemaSins "roll credits"]].
87** "It's me, Davros"
88*** The Daleks announce their arrival using a familiar CharacterCatchphrase from the world of Wrestling/{{WWE}}:
89----> '''Dalek [[Creator/CourteneyCox Courtney Cox]]:''' [[AC:[[Creator/DwayneJohnson If you SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL...what the Daleks are cooking!]]]]
90*** The Dalek that accidentally shoots the Doctor is named [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Barley Chucket]].
91** "The Clash at Dalekdome":
92*** The name of the video is a nod to fictional band [[ComicBook/ScottPilgrim The Clash at Demonhead]].
93*** When the New Paradigm Daleks leave for their next gig, the Supreme Dalek says [[Franchise/StarWars "Chewie! Punch it!"]]. A Wookie roar is heard in response.
94** As a nod to the episode's time loop premise, "Groundhogmanay of the Daleks" has the Daleks announce "[[Film/DoctorStrange2016 Dormammu, I've come to bargain!]]" whenever they teleport in.
95** "Bitch Fight II"
96*** When it contacts the Doctor in the TARDIS, Dalek Simon says he initially got the wrong phone booth, and "[[Film/PhoneBooth Colin Farrell was pissed]]!"
97*** In the same conversation, he reveals that apparently Davros was a big fan of Roy Chubby Brown.
98*** The Doctor meets Dalek Simon in a volcano - passing [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Obi-Wan crying about Anakin's fate]] on the way.
99* SitcomArchNemesis: The first video sees the Cybermen engage the Daleks in petty squabbles, leading to the titular "Bitch Fights" where two of the Doctor's most feared and lethal enemies lob insults at each other like snarky kids on a playground.
100* StompyMooks: The Cybermen's proclivity for loud marching is {{lampshaded}} by a caption subtitling their walking as "*stompy stompy clompy stomp*".
101* TakeThat: The Daleks are quite aware of [[{{Trumplica}} Jack Robertson representing Donald Trump]] and respond accordingly.
102-->'''Dalek Please Don't Block This Video BBC:''' [[AC:Alert! Political analogy approaching!]]\
103'''Robertson:''' I'm your best a--''[[[KilledMidSentence Gets exterminated]]]''
104* TemptingFate:
105** In "The Dalek Invasion of Funk", Dalek Bertha says Health and Safety won't find out that someone took a dump in the ventilation system as long as nobody sets off the Health & Safety Violation Alarm. Cut to the First Doctor finding the button that activates said alarm and pressing it.
106** In "Not My Daleks", the Thirteenth Doctor says it's imperative that the Death Squad Daleks don't find out she's the one who summoned them to Earth. The scene cuts to dozens of Daleks flying past the TARDIS as one of their number points out the Doctor's presence.
107--->'''Dalek Grogu:''' [[AC:She's literally landing right in front of us - we can ''see'' you, Doctor!]]
108* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: Dalek Thay wonders "[[AC:Why am I so angry all of a sudden?]]" at the sight of a man that hasn't yet been identified as the Doctor, also known as the mortal enemy of all Daleks.
109* ToiletHumour: The First Doctor's idea of a good practical joke is taking a dump in the ventilation shaft of the Daleks' night club.
110* {{Touche}}: Dalek Jast begrudgingly admits that the Cybermen's means of tricking him into identifying himself as a Dalek was clever.
111* TrashTalk: The Daleks and Cybermen diss each other in "The Bitch Fight of Canary Wharf" by mocking aspects of the other party's appearance.
112-->'''Dalek:''' [[AC:You are wearing [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell-bottoms flares]]! You cannot conquer the world with disco fever!]]\
113'''Cyberman:''' [[AC:Said the dustbin wearing a skirt covered in disco balls!]]
114* VerbThis: After the nightclub's Health & Safety Violation Alarm gets set off, a Dalek attempts to salvage the situation by telling the fleeing patrons that the alarm was only a drill. One of the guests tells it to "Drill this!" as he bashes its dome with a rock.
115* VirtualAssistantBlunder: The Death Squad Daleks ask Siri to Google "Daleks master Earth". The virtual assistant searches for "garlic afterbirth".
116-->'''Siri:''' I could not find anything for 'garlic afterbirth'.\
117'''Dalek Benni:''' [[AC:Bugger.]]
118* VocalDissonance: The Dalek mutants in "Not My Daleks", which look like very gross octopi, are revealed to speak with jovial [[UsefulNotes/BritishAccents Yorkshire accents]] when outside of their casings.
119* WellIntentionedExtremist: "Not My Daleks" has the Defence Drone clones be created to contain the COVID-19 pandemic - by dint of [[MurderIsTheBestSolution exterminating everyone breaking lockdown]].
120* WhatDoesThisButtonDo: In "The Dalek Invasion of Funk", the Doctor finds a button labeled "Health & Safety Violation Alarm", wonders what the button does, and presses it. It activates an alarm, prompting all the nightclub guests to flee.
121* WholePlotReference:
122** "The Clash at Dalekdome" is a recreation of the The Clash at Demonhead sequence from ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', down to also having a cover of "Black Sheep" by Music/{{Metric}}.
123** "IRON DALEK" spoofs the first half and TheStinger of the first ''Film/IronMan1'' movie.
124* YouJustToldMe: A Dalek and a pair of Cybermen argue over which party will identify themselves first. One of the Cybermen breaks the stalemate by telling the Dalek "'''Ladies first'''"; when the Dalek objects by saying its kind has no concept of gender, the Cyberman comments that it has identified itself as a Dalek. Then the Cybermen brag about their species' cleverness - allowing the Daleks to identify them in turn.
125--> '''Cyberman:''' [[AC:Bugger.]]
