Which characters deaths do you think were hilarious either due to the character being a dick, or bad acting and effects or both?
I'm going to say the Scottish luddite prick in the Ice Warriors was the best in terms of being well deserved. He was sooooo f*cking annoying with his crap against technology and the way the Ice Warriors turn on him instantly and his last wimpy little "I want to help ye" always made me laugh. It's also funny the way the Ice Warriors talk about how useless he is before too. It's basically "He's an arsehole" Yessss sssssss he is an arssssseehole let's kill him." LOL.
In terms of bad acting it has to be the duplicate captain who gets shot in Resurrection of the Daleks. I don't know why it's so bad as he was good for the rest of the story, but the way his hands move around, it almost looks like her is trying to feel for his pulse like Dr Smith LOL and the sound effects ehhhhhh aaaaaaaahhhhhhh eeeeeeeehhhhhh are comedy gold.

Most Classic Who deaths to be honest, they're always hammy and over-acted, though of course that's part of the charm
Toby in The Satan Pit - just really awkward and drawn-out, and that voice modulator doesn't help
Some of the guests getting zapped by the Cybermen at Jackie's 40th in Rise of the Cybermen are pretty funny
Those godawful f*cking hags in the Shakespeare Code when they tear apart that hot guy in the pre-credits sequence (the drowning bit later on was pretty creepy though)
Not a death per se but Tracy-Ann Oberman's "euuughh, it goes inside their brains!" is pretty awful
And of course, DINNER TIME!!!!!!

The Cyberman in Attack who notices the bomb about to go off and quickly gestures to his mate as if to say ''Get the f*ck out!'' whilst clinging onto him always has me pissing myself.
I'll also choose the Dalek who cries itself to death in Death To The Daleks after Sarah escapes. It's so pathetic you wonder if the emo Dalek didn't arrive 31 years earlier.

DINNER TIME is so, so bad. I don't mind Simm all that much in the Series 3 Master trilogy, but he's bloody woeful in End of Time. |

I want an entire season with End of Time Simm. Lovely tribute to Deadly Assassin with the skeleton, and the episode delves more into the Doctor/Master relationship than any other in the show's history (not counting Moff's bumbling with Missy ofc)

Yeah, the skeleton was a lovely tribute to the Deadly Assassin. I also thought the shite writing was a nice call back to The Space Pirates as well.

I personally thought that Cyberman making a leg it gesture and pushing its friend to safety was absolutely adorable when I was younger LOL. The Cybermen with their doll like faces and silly voices can sadly come over as quite cute if not handled well and this is probably the worst example. I also always thought the Cyber Lieutenant was adorable in that story too. It's the way he is proud of being a Cyberman and how touchy he is if they are insulted that makes him so cute. (Even more so by how lame they've become at that point LOL.) "You will show more respect for the leader!" I'm amazed when the leader said Lytton will become one of them, the lieutenant didn't say to Lytton "you should be so bloody lucky." As for the Dalek in Death, well whilst it IS undeniably camp, in its defense Daleks regularly kill their subordinates when they have failed as seen in Daleks Masterplan and Planet so since they had no power, and their machine guns couldn't kill him, then self destruct would be the easiest way to get round that. To be fair you can say it's stupid that the Daleks kill their soldiers for minor failures, but take it up with Masterplan that established that. |

See what I mean when I said the Cybermen can be absolutely adorable?  "No! That's not how it happened. Master always making up stories about us being stupid enough to walk over a booby trap willingly. Of course that Terrance Dicks wanker believed him. Don't even get me started on the Raston Warrior Robot. They're our servants for gods sake. Just look at Earthshock." |
