Is there anything bad about it? Those stupid humans do that every day! They even created a craft out of it! They call it "gastronomy"... impudent fools!
Strax is awesome. He's not my favourite character in Doctor Who, or even in the Paternosta Gang because Vastra exists, but he showed that not all Sontarans are just psychotic killing machines. Some of them are psychotic killing machines with a heart who are also just entertaining to watch.

"Madam Vastra wondered if you needed any grenades..." Not only do those two deserve each other, but they're also probably the only beings in the Galaxy that could handle one another.
Had to pause and do a spit take on that one. I liked how he redid the fist clench with 'NOT melt him with acid.' The paper throw was icing on the cake.
@@MrStrikecentral yeah I watched that scene at around 2:30 am in the morning so that’s why I was almost crying because I was trying to contain my laughter. Needless to say. Good times.
“…and lot of young men doing sports!” “What are you looking at?” “Your subconscious.” “Hm” “ _…is_ that sports? It _could_ be sports! 😃” Strax is the best, and Clara is intensely relatable 😂
@@maisiesummers42 Was this 1800s Clara? I thought she was Contemporary Clara stuck in the 1800s. But also, I don't recall anything suggesting she was into women.
This is what the last few seasons have been missing. Love Strax. My best one was the “prologue” to the big screen version of the 50th anniversary. “Popped corn…”
Strax’s anger is absolutely hilarious. Because the horse stops, he plans to obliterate it and apparently he eats it? Sometimes I think it’s best not to know what happens after his threats
Strax was hands down my favorite character of Moffit's run. alot of the humor fell flat for me in that era but Strax jokes always landed & they didnt over use him if anything he deserved more.
Strax: *To Clara* "Silence boy!" Eleven: "That's Strax, and as you can see HE IS EASILY CONFUSED!!!" Strax: *Looks at Clara again* "...Silence girl!" *Immediately after* "Sorry lad!" That line was the funniest joke in Moffat's entire run. Had me in stitches. Right up there with some of the best comedy from the RTD Era.
the tv spinoffs have been birth from the mind of our lord and saviour Russel T. Davies and Julie Gardner (torchwood and sarah jane). julie gardner would later open up her own production company, bad wolf ltd, and this company have partecipated in the upcoming doctor who series. Also notably, bad wolf ltd has become a subsidiary of sony in 2021
I think the only time the Rutans have been featured is 'The Horror of Fang Rock' Tom Baker story - perhaps they could have a re-introduction: Strax and a comedy Rutan (Laurel and Hardy with more acid and obliteration)
I think I will have to try and find these episodes - the sight of a sontaran dressed as a victorian butler threatening a horse with a ray gun needs to be experienced in full - plus the memory probe - and the scene when Thrax finally gets to obliterate anything in his way his way while cackling like a loon
Seriously. I don't get why there were so many spinoffs of Doctor Who made, some of them about characters that were never in the show, and yet these three never got their own show.
Strax was one of the best characters. He always brought comic relief with a side of crazy backup that you’d want on your side if you were in danger. A great combo.
"The Times. Shall I send it up?" "Yeah, why not?" *_**THWACK!!!**_* In fairness, Clara, you figuratively _and literally_ should have seen that one coming. (Nice shot, Strax!)
100% agreed. They seemed to put loads of effort into making them look like the ones from the 1970s...and then ended up with something that looked like it was from the 1970s. A ridiculous decision.
@@fredh1720 "they tried to make it look like it was from the 70s, and it ended up looking like it was from the 70s" Every 60 seconds in Africa a minute passes
Yea I agree. season 13 sontaran design was based off of an older design from the original series but honestly that design kind of sucks compared to this one. Although their budget wasn’t as big and it was made a long while ago. But to use the same design now is kind of dumb after they had already established a new and better looking design.
I never knew this character existed until know as I watch very little Doctor Who, but Strax seems to be simply really dedicated to his job. And hey, at least he has proper manners, right?
Lmao. The way he gets in good with everyone but as soon as they threaten him even slightly (a la lizard girl) hes just like "ALRIGHT CALM DOWN BEFORE THE BIG GUNS COME OUT"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I especially love how one of the most pacifistic people of all(The Doctor) always butts heads with a potato only created for battle and glory(Strax). We need our Victorian England Crew back it’s been almost 10 years!
YOU FORGOT TO ADD HIS SCENES WITH THE DOCTOR FROM THE SPECIAL!!!😂 He came to help the Doctor to investigate but he said "Madam Vastra said you might need grenades......She might have said help" 😂 I love that Strax's form of help is bringing grenades 😂😂😂
I adore this actor as any Sontaran, particularly Strax, this is why we need a Paternosta Gang series!!!. ("I love your butler, he's so violent", not the right era, but it fits).
I think one missing from the video is when he’s super hyper when on a shooting spree and Vastra asks him if he ate Jenny’s Sherbet fancies again, the proceeds to scold him like a child 😂
Strax: "The Times, shall I send it up?" Unsuspecting companion: "Yeah, why not?" Strax: *throws the newspaper hard enough to hit someone on the second floor and knock them flying back across the room*
Of course Strax ended up in Scotland. Only there would his behavior not stand out
Adds up
It would be tame by there standards
Ah yes, Scotland. The most Sontarian place on Earth. They are ready to go to war at any time, for any reason, just because it's gonna be fun.
Glasgow specifically. Don't think he'd stand a chance in a wetherspoons if rangers won
I laughed so hard at this 🤣
you do get the impression that the actor was truly enjoying himself
Dan Starkey has shown up in public events as Strax and even created off the cuff stories to entertain children. The man adores this character.
I want to see more of him
@@itsmrchimp1788 he was in the chibnall era as another Sontaran but yeah Strax and the rest of the Paternoster Gang need to come back
One of my favorite videos is him, in full Strax kit, meeting a group of kids and they're all doing the "Sontar AH" chant as he walks in.
He called me “boy” when I met him lmao
Poor Strax, he never gets to MELT THEM WITH ACID
I bet even his instructors chewed him out for wanting to use acid more than guns
Is there anything bad about it? Those stupid humans do that every day! They even created a craft out of it! They call it "gastronomy"... impudent fools!
Given his habit of gene-splicing himself, I have deep suspicions of just how he produces the acid...
You gotta admit, if you are going to be a genocidal potato person, melting enemies with acid is pretty next level...IJS
I want to know what his acid fish and laser monkeys look like
@@itsmrchimp1788 I wanna know what Scissor-Grenades do and how they work.
For some reason strax decking Clara with a newspaper is always funny to me.
It's this random over the top slapstick that you don't expect to see xD
This is by far the thing i like best about Strax. I wonder if it was scripted that Clara should fall or whether it was Jenna's idea .
Head shot 🤣🤣🤣🤣
its supposed to be
I died laughing the first time I saw that
1:47 This man brawling with Strax is the most Scottish thing I’ve ever seen 🤣
"sorry Archie, you'll have to knock me out." "Okay." "Use this. It may take awhile."
Of course he was so happy when he found Glasgow, the Scottish are just like sontarans only live for battle
Anyone else notice that was basically 100% of his screen time
Apart from his combat scenes, of course
I guess every scene he’s in is worth putting in here since they’re all great.
There are a few scenes that where not in though =O
"I was told you needed grenades!"
"Grenades?"
"May have been help ..."
I like it when he tries to fight the moon
We needed more scene of the trio overall
Isn't there any spin off about Vastra, Jenni and Strax?
I would pay for that
Strax is awesome. He's not my favourite character in Doctor Who, or even in the Paternosta Gang because Vastra exists, but he showed that not all Sontarans are just psychotic killing machines. Some of them are psychotic killing machines with a heart who are also just entertaining to watch.
He's definitely my favorite one of the gang.

@@MrStrikecentral yeah I watched that scene at around 2:30 am in the morning so that’s why I was almost crying because I was trying to contain my laughter. Needless to say. Good times.
I started crying. Not because of the video. It’s because I am very depressed. And I have this terrible pain in my diodes down my left side.
@@Gimdxtr the best thing clara ever did

Should have added that

The best part is how his lack of understanding chooses the perfect time to appear. His quirks are perfectly spaced out among the normal ness.

How Strax and the other two didn't get there own spin off series I will never know.
Vastra and Jenny did in audio form, but Strax got a children's comic fighting alien sharks.

The Paternoster Gang Big Finish spin-off features all three of them actually
I love Strax so much. I am glad the Sontarans got a bit of a revival in Flux though, he shouldn’t be the only way Sontarans are written
I think the only time the Rutans have been featured is 'The Horror of Fang Rock' Tom Baker story - perhaps they could have a re-introduction: Strax and a comedy Rutan (Laurel and Hardy with more acid and obliteration)
"Is that sport? it could be sport!"
Even if I didn't love Dr Who I would watch it just to see Strax in action.
I miss Strax. I hope he comes back!
What's the first thing you think when you see a new thing? Grenade -- classic.
"sir emergency! I think I've been run over by a cab! "😂😂
God I wish we got more of strax, I love his absolute bluntness and his insane stupidity
I think I will have to try and find these episodes - the sight of a sontaran dressed as a victorian butler threatening a horse with a ray gun needs to be experienced in full - plus the memory probe - and the scene when Thrax finally gets to obliterate anything in his way his way while cackling like a loon
Hmm, may I suggest the Big Finish Paternoster Gang audio as Strax is EXCELLENT in those especially when he having fun
Both scenes are from "The Crimson Horror", as far as I recall.
I would love to see straxx and them all in their own spin off
If you don't mind audio plays Big Finish has a spin off series for The Paternoster Gang 😊
"remember...we ARE going ..to ..the...NORRRTH" hahahaha
thats right..you need deadly advanced alien weaponry when you come up north
gotta love strax
'i can produce magnificent quantities of lactic fluid!"

Eight minutes isn’t enough to contain Strax’s awesomeness.
That’s why I’m making another video but twice as long on a different channel called Scifi Enthusiast
1:17 Lost it at "psychotic potato dwarf." 🤣
4:42 I'm forced to ask how Strax knows what a "noogie" is.
The Sontarans must have them too.
i can produce MAGNIFICENT quantities of lactic fluid!" omg that line
"..casualties can be kept about as little as 80%" Phahahhahaa
The only thing missing from this video is strax declaring war on the moon
Yes

so hope strax comes back one day
I never knew this character existed until know as I watch very little Doctor Who, but Strax seems to be simply really dedicated to his job. And hey, at least he has proper manners, right?

During this era of Dr Who, I lived for the moments spent with our favourite comedic Sontaran.

The newspaper throw ended me 😂

Strax is awesome, he must of had so much fun
4:50-5:10 thats why i love Strax hahahah
My mom loves Strax; I gave her a Strax t-shirt for her birthday and she loves it.
When he finally gets a chance for combat, he's as giddy as a school boy on the first day of summer vacation.
