Almost as bad as the Doctor's own jokes about Peri's name.
Once when Peri asked how the Doctor had seen some thugs rushing to attack him even though he'd been looking the other way, he answered, "Peri-pheral vision!"
The worst, though, was when he'd just humiliated a sluglike villain named Sil who needed regular skin immersion. As Sil yelled at his minions that he needed to be moistened, the Doctor said, "I think he needs more than water, Peri, eh?" ... Sil's response, like that of the audience, was a gurgling scream.
[P.S. to C.V.: Dead companions are Katarina, Sara Kingdom, Adric, Kamelion, and K-9 III. And I really do count Peri
. You could even mention Jack, Grace and Chang Lee, even though they're brought back from the dead right away, because they still count toward Sa'ar's point... Though your point that they're rare and atypical still carries, even though there's more than two.]
