    ...And they get super, super, super drunk. One offhand comment about somebody's scarf or hat or something explodes into an all out pub-brawl between the Doctors. Who would be the last Doctor standing? Who would be the first to fall?

    My money would be on Six or Three, with a potential dark horse victory of Seven. Three had his Venusian Karate and Six seemed to be willing to jump into battle easily enough; Six would probably be more agile and have the weight advantage but Three actually knows martial arts. I say Seven might be capable of a dark horse victory since he was such a manipulator -- I doubt he could 'talk them to death', but he might find a sneaky way to come out on top.

    I imagine the Fifth Doctor would meekly excuse himself from the battle and go across the street to that taco place and just cry into a huge burrito. He'd probably try to come off as self righteous when he left, too, but it would only be semi-believable. Come to think of it, the War Doctor might be too immbolized by the inhumanity of it all and sing Beatles songs to himself quietly.

    I think Nine would be waiting at the back with a poolstick, just letting the other Doctors wear themselves out before jumping into the fray. He always was one to sulk in the shadows, after all.

    The Valeyard would try to get into the fight but the other Doctors would agree that he doesn't count, and so they briefly team up to pick him up and toss him out in the street.

    I think the first Doctor would be the first to fall, but unlike the other Doctors he wouldn't be knocked out, and he'd just continue to boast loudly about himself until the battle came to an end.

    Well, it's not a pub-brawl, but this is basically all the Doctors fighting each other.

    I'm at that nebulous point where you realize you should have gone to bed three hours ago...And I have to say, this made my day. Maybe even my last three days. I nearly died at the first scarf-whip. Thanks for sharing. : )

    How come killing the Second Doctor didn't wipe out all the later ones?

    Its a paradox-free fight?

    Venusian Aikido is defensive-only and appears to survive regeneration, so it could be a long fight. Six and the War Doctor might get in some punches, with the War Doctor eliminating Six before Six can choke him out.

    Obligatory one-liner: "Where's your Clara now, b****es?"

    Ten would win, cause he has a fightin' hand! :lol:

    Plus he would be there twice and just team up with himself.

    I wouldn't be so quick to write off the 1st Doctor. Remember, he was ruthless, and it was only Ian who prevented him from smashing the Caveman's head in with a rock and he beat up that guy in The Romans who attacked him.

    Honestly, I think that if all the Doctors got together in a pub, instead of brawling they'd end up arguing over science, history, and philosophy, maybe trying to best each other at chess or logic puzzles or riddles (the Seventh would definitely go for riddles), or competing at one of those trivia games they have in pubs. Or just trying to outdo each other at tall tales. Or they'd challenge each other to build gadgets out of stuff lying around the pub, maybe disassemble the TV and the taps to construct a dimensional scanner or something. It would be raucous and competitive, but more on a verbal and intellectual plane than a physical one.

    And then they'd all stumble upon some ale-based scheme to take over the Earth and would band together to defeat it.

    Imagine if they run into all the incarnations of the Master at that same bar.

    The Master rigged the TARDIS as a paradox machine.

    I think it will be funniest if they do math. With so many of them, in an hour of modular forms and supersingular elliptic curves over a quaternionic finite field algebra they'd get the door of the bar disintegrated without a sonic. The punchline would be when Clara tells them they should have been wasting their time proving the Riemann hypothesis instead because the door is linear and integer.

    I knew that celery was good for something! :lol:

    As to the original question I think that 12 (or 13 or whatever) would end up winning because he'd beat everyone else with a spoon.

    I also think that the OP discounted Five too quickly. He could be rather fierce if he was motivated (usually when someone he cared for was in danger). Unlike Four he also remembered being Three and had his fighting skills.

    He was pretty badass with a sword in The King's Demons.

    So, twelve Doctors walk in to a pub, and one of them says, "You know, this really should be a Baker's dozen."

    Oh, yes, that was awesome. But I figured pub brawls usually didn't involve the use of swords.

    They do when the Master and the Doctor are around. Even maximum security prisons have swords helpfully left around so they can find something to fence with...

    Yeah, but then how many pub brawls involve a dozen versions of the same person?

    But there is a Baker's dozen, if you include the War Doctor.

    Depends on how drunk you are when you look at them...
