Well, Eleven often seems to me as if he's ironically self-aware (not in a cool way... not sure there is a cool way to do that in the age of hipster-ness) and quite often, he seems to be going through the motions rather than living in the moment. He knows his own patterns of behaviour, and doesn't necessarily like them, but he doesn't think he can change them either, and he doesn't apologize for them like Ten. Which is why he might well sound like he's parodying himself. And the Master... I tried to write a Master who's post-Simm, and post-Time War, but at the same time saner than any of him have been in, well, ever. So he's parodying their old dynamic (like Simm!Master) and he's not quite as painfully sincere as Delgado, but he still resembles him quite a lot in that he's polite and calm and does want a solution rather than total destruction.
