See but this entire skit relied on that one joke. And not everyone is a doctor who fan. This was probably not funny at all to a lot of people.MowDownJoe said:

You know that awkward time when your friend tells you a joke that you've been hearing for the past 20 years, but they're still all hopeful you laugh because they think it's fresh and new...
Star Wars is old. Star Trek is old. Dr. Who, is also old. We've heard these jokes before, and most of them delivered better. And honestly, putting on an American sitcom spin just doesn't work for me.
I'm not saying don't try and make a parody. I'm just saying the reason that Red Dwarf, Space Balls, and even self referential jokes in Star Trek and Dr. Who work, is because there's usually some cleverness behind it.
I'll still keep watching though. I always give people a chance to make me laugh.

"Get your head out of the clouds" uttered while on a spaceship is funny.
"Now you're back!" line delivered twice seemed improved and very natural. Good choice to keep it.
The "Sonic." line was a little unclear. Since this was the punchline, I wished it had hit just a tad bit harder. I had to rewind and watch that bit twice.
These "Deck Crew" fillers seem like you write a script framework and then adlib a bit. I like this very much. Walmsley delivers very well. I am constantly amazed by the acting on this series. Nothing groundbreaking here in the actual script, but it made me smile. Keep it coming.
