When did the cat in the hat become his creator?

[–] bitjunkie 2 points 15 hours ago

Hannibal goes at the top-right if you're not rude.

It's also inexplicably missing the coolest one (Dr Victor von Doom)

[–] DonGirses 9 points 1 day ago

This vexes me.

[–] Sho 6 points 1 day ago

Seriously....him and Dr. Strange alone would all but garuentee your safety.

[–] Shard 5 points 1 day ago

Excuse me! Dr Pepper should be an absolute top left corner candidate.

[–] T156 22 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Dr. Zoidberg is a fully-qualified medical doctor, though, and a good one at that. Just not for humans. Even so, he's quite good, given that he hasn't killed any of his human patients, though they may come out a little different.

As is Doctor Who, who has high qualifications in literally everything. It took them a few goes, but they got there in the end.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That said, how much do you trust your life with Dr. Who? I've seen many characters die while trusting him, and that's just the ones on screen.

I'm not saying he is a bad doctor, but he was caught on film losing several sidekicks/ allies. If you're caught on film doing something, you probably do it a lot.

"If you get caught doing crack on the news, you are a crackhead. It's not like a "oh this was just the one time" situation. You do it enough you get caught on the news doing it." -Josh Johnson

Edit: just looked for an answer of what the mortality rate is for the Doctor and it's 42% according to a reddit question. At some point the authorities would be called in because 42% is more than just a "licence revoked" number.

"I've probably lost more patients than he's ever treated."

[–] Buddahriffic 3 points 1 day ago

Didn't Zoidberg once successfully attach Fry's head to Amy's body (or something like that)? Not sure any of the others on that chart have done something that impressive.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Dr Oz and Dr Phil are not doctors and should be to the left and south of Dr Pepper. Neither has a license and both are so full of shit their advice has probably killed people.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Oz is a Doctor, and was a very good one who got corrupted in his aim for fame and fortune. Part of his tragedy is that if he'd shut up and just do his actual doctor work only he'd be a benefit to society, not the detriment he is now. It's important to know that he's worse because he had actual skill as a heart surgeon. Quoting wiki:

In 1982, he received his undergraduate degree in biology magna cum laude[3] at Harvard University.[31] ... In 1986, he obtained MD and MBA degrees from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine[30] and Penn's Wharton School.[34][35]

Edit: also, as far as I can tell, still performing heart surgeries, so should still be licensed. Still a piece of shit who should stick to surgeries. Lots of people good at 1 thing think they're geniuses at everything.

After hearing the pure stupidity that comes out of his mouth I wouldn't let that fruitcake supplement salesman near me.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline 18 points 1 day ago

Top right corner, there's a Collage Humor watermark.

It explains why this is so inaccurate

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'd gladly trust drinking a Dr pepper over anything to do with Dr Phil or Dr oz

[–] JargonWagon 5 points 1 day ago

THANK YOU. Why is Dr. Pepper the absolute lowest you can go on this chart, lower than Dr. Evil lol

[–] MutilationWave 2 points 1 day ago

I don't even like Dr Pepper and I'd rather drink a six pack than watch either of those assholes.

[–] FlyingSquid 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

I would trust J.D. with my life way over Dr. Seuss.

J.D. is a fool, but he's also a really good doctor.

[–] mipadaitu 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Depends on which season. Are you extrapolating current JD? Or can we pick season 1 JD, where he has a lot of knowledge, but very little experience, and wasn't a very good doctor yet?

Doctor Evil didn't go to Evil Medical School for six years to be put in the section with no training, thank you very much!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Why is Doctor Strange to the left of JD from Scrubs? Isn't he a world renown surgeon or something? Does that count for less because he hasn't had medical practice lately?

Dwarf Doc isn't a medical doctor, that's just his nickname. He's a drug connection.

[–] Buddahriffic 4 points 1 day ago

I'm curious what the rankings of all the star trek doctors would be.

Like for competence, would Flox (sp?) or EMH top the list?

Or for charisma, would it be Flox or Bashir?

For not taking shit EMH or Bones?

Closest with the captain, Bones or Crusher?

Most victim of the writers, Pulaski or Fitzgerald? (First one at least got a season but the second one didn't even get an actor)

[–] WrenFeathers 102 points 2 days ago (7 children)

No Dr. House?

And Oz should be right on top of the Run For Your Life because he’s not fictional and should know better.

[–] UtMan1988 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would trust Hannibal Lector more than Oz, frankly.

Doctor House would be top right but partly because you wouldn't need to run very far.

  1. Dr. Phil has training that's a shock?
  2. Bro I'd trust Dr. Pepper more than a lot of people on this list
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I should trust Zoidberg more than Dr. Phil?

[–] CheeseNoodle 7 points 1 day ago

Technically zoidberg should be further right on the training axis than everyone else on it combined, He's literally the best doctor in the universe for every single species other than humans.

[–] MehBlah 6 points 1 day ago

Yes even though Zoidberg is a fictional doctor he is ten times the doctor as that quack phil.

[–] FuryMaker 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I feel like Zoidberg should be a lot lower.

Right? This is an invalid graph without Dr. House.

I hope OP doesn't have lupus

I'm just happy to see someone remembers the Spin Doctors.

[–] radicalautonomy 3 points 1 day ago

One...two princes kneel before you.

One has diamonds in his pockets and never lies. The other wants to buy you rockets and never tells the truth.

What is the one question you could ask of only one of the princes to learn what a prince and lover ought to be so that your father won't eat his hat and disown you?

[–] BambiDiego 81 points 2 days ago (18 children)

How in the heckin' is JD below a dwarf, a mad scientist tinkerer, and a random catchy band?

He is a caring, trained, and competent doctor who will put his pride and personal life aside to help a patient.

6 years of evil medical school doesn't qualify as professional credentials? Also I'd put Dr. Phil below most of these guys, although maybe slightly above Hannibal Lector still.

[–] dojan 51 points 2 days ago

I trust Doctor Pepper more than Phil.

Dr. Who and Dr. Strange both have a shitload of training...

[–] finitebanjo 35 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Oh yeah, Dr. Strange was literally one of the world's best surgeons, right?

The more anyone looks at this, the worse it gets.

Someone needs to fix this. But not me, I don't have my doctorate in memeology yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Phil and Venture at the same level of trust is rough but true.
