Eleven is significantly more out there than Nine or Ten, and I can generally deal with that. However, in this episode the degree to which he appears utterly without knowledge of the social norms of early 21st-century Britain (rather than merely not caring about said norms) seemed a bit hard to believe.
I wasn't too bothered personally, mostly because I was laughing so hard, but you have a point. My personal fanwank for this is that, because regeneration results in an entirely new and different body down to the cellular level, memory access/recall varies between Doctors. So Nine and Ten are fairly average-to-good at recall, but Eleven's absent-minded.
