Having said that, the Doc flaunted the larger-than-life persona while throwing in a single tweet regarding a vacation. It stated that he was “Currently in South Korea on our La Vacación. We’ll be back soon…” The photo accompanying this posted triggered some instant chaotic commentaries. Needless to say, the responses were very much what one would expect from the Doc-predominant milieu: chaotic, hilarious, sometimes downright unhinged.
Of course, classic Doc picture. Standing at a towering 6’8″, the towering streamer looked hilariously out of place, standing there in a doorway definitely not made for one of his height. Some observers kept commenting, “That door can’t be more than 4ft,” while another jokingly wrote, “Doc is too tall he can’t even fit in doors.” It is this self-aware humor that is only one among many good reasons why watching Doc is so funny—after all, even when he is not streaming, the very thought of him is enough to stir the pot.
The responses went far beyond talking about door height and the vacation vibes. Some gamers speculated the exact reason behind Doc being in Korea. “For visit Krafton and push them on the UE5 update,” the user said, referring to the developers behind PUBG, a game Doc had been vocally complaining about in the past. Another said, “Trying to get yourself a little Korean minor huh,” without really hitting the right note. Well, the internet is the internet.
Others were just glad that Doc was taking a little time for himself. One asked, “Enjoy, Doc! We’ll be here so take your time,” to be followed by, “Big love from South Korea Doc! I moved here about 3 years ago, lovely country, Enjoy!” There is no doubt that this polarizing persona has a backing that genuinely cares for the well-being of the individual—even if mostly that care manifests through memes and sarcastic comments.
Now let us get into some… shall we say, rather “creative” responses? One dude spiraled off into a bizarre tirade about “Little johnny flappin his gums talkin big whilst wearing a potato sack and brown paper bag over his head,” which honestly could be the beginning of an extremely weird copypasta. Another humorously referenced Doc’s famous slogans, “Yayayayayayayyayayayyuyayayayayaya. The world needs more Doc.” True indeed.
Every thread about Dr Disrespect has to be good for some controversy. One response brought up the streamer’s prior ban from Twitch, and we got a little brief comeback about the specifics of that situation. But most just kept joking around as fans were all too happy to see their guy living his best life… albeit going through tiny doorways in South Korea.
So what’s next for the Doc? Well, if that tweet was worth it to you, then the Doc will be back soon. More streams, more chaos, more energy that made the name speak for itself in this industry. Until then, everybody tries to fill the void with memes, speculations, and the occasional ridiculous rant about potato sacks. Because with Dr Disrespect, even a simple announcement about a vacation scales up to a grand event.
And, seriously? That’s all the Doc really wants.
