Doctor Who

Doctor Who is a British science fiction television series featuring an anonymous time-travelling humanoid alien simply referred to as “The Doctor”. In the series, The Doctor, along with several companions, travels through time and space in a ship called the TARDIS, which appears to people as a vintage blue police box. The role of The Doctor has so far been played by 11 people, which is explained in the show through "regeneration", in which The Doctor avoids death by changing appearance. As of July 2011, the current Doctor is played by Matt Smith.

Fanfiction

Doctor Whooves has been featured in a fair amount of fan fiction. The "My Little Time Lord"[2] fan fiction featured another fan-named background pony Ditzy "Derpy Hooves" Doo. The "An Unexpected Guest"[3] fanfiction featured the main character of the official MLP series Twilight Sparkle. Doctor Whooves is known for saying the catchphrase "I'm a pony now. Ponies are cool", which is a derivative to the Bow Ties Are Cool catchphrase used in the Doctor Who series.

Canonical Recognition

On January 28, 2012, the fifteenth episode of the second season, "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000", aired. During the episode the orginal Docter Whooves could be spotted turning a giant hourglass and wearing a tie while doing so.



Supervising director of the show, Jayson Thiessen, already told the fans that the creators have accepted his name as Doctor Whooves and started using it around the office,[5] but this was never really shown in the episodes. After the episode aired, fans asked the creators if this was done on purpose as a reference to Doctor Whooves. On January 30, 2012, senior storyboard artist Sabrina Alberghetti confirmed on on her DeviantArt account[6] that is was done on purpose, saying her supervisor added "Doctor Hooves" on purpose. This also got covered by Equestria Daily the same day.[7]


-Dogman15 1 day ago Reply I think you intentionally put Berry Punch in this scene *Sibsy 1 day ago I never worked on that episode Reply Dogman15 16 hours ago Well someone did, and I think it was deliberate, just like pairing Bon Bon and Lyra/Heartstrings together in this scene. (Oh hey, look! Berry punch looks funny in that particular frame.) Giving Doctor Whooves the hourglass timing job was a great idea too. I speak on behalf of the fandom Reply when I say "Thank you! to whoever boarded those things. *Sibsy 11 hours ago Hah that was our supervisor... he added that Dr. Hooves in on purpose Reply The Doctor Derpy Hooves Rarity My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Twilight Sparkle Pony Applejack Princess Celestia text software screenshot font

On July 11th, 2012, a shirt appeared on the online shop WeLoveFine showing Doctor Whooves under the name of "Doctor Hooves".[8] The reason for the different in names was explained by WeLoveFine employee Guy Brand that they had gotten the information directly from Hasbro, the creators of MLP:FiM, who said his official name was Doctor Hooves. The reason for this most likely being to avoid copyright infringement with the BBC, the producers Doctor Who, due to their resemblance in name otherwise.
