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

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

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.

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 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

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

Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil have done far more harm than Dr. Pepper could ever aspire to.

Somewhere between top-right and top-middle depending on how revoked his license is at the given moment and how much vicodin he is on.

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] 28 points 3 days 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?

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

It explains why this is so inaccurate

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 days ago

At some points he's arguably the best diagnostician at Sacred Heard.

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.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 4 days ago

I trust Doctor Pepper more than Phil.

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 52 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 days ago (7 children)

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

  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] 18 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I feel like Zoidberg should be a lot lower.

There is no way Dr. Mario has any training. He just throws random pills at the problems hoping that they line up and do something other than cause an overdose.

For reference on the no training side:

Dr. Dre and Dr. Venture: Both possess honorary doctorates. The former from UCLA, the latter from a Tijuana community college.
Dr. Pepper: Charles T. Pepper did have a medical doctorate. He is cited as a possible source of the name.
Dr. Evil: Evil medical school.
Zoidberg: Claims he lost it in a volcano, more likely a art history degree.
Dr. Horrible: Likely physics though he claims Horribleness (though it could be a catchphrase.)
Dr. Seuss: Intended to get a Doctorate of Philosophy, got an honorary doctorate of Humane Letters.
The Doctor: Per This - While pretending to be the Doctor in an effort to save herself from an army of Cybermen, one of the planet’s deadliest enemies, in Death in Heaven, Clara said: ‘I don’t even really have a doctorate. Well Glasgow University, but then I accidentally graduated in the wrong century.’
Doc: Does become a doctor at Storybrooke hospital in a live action show, "Once Upon a Time", apparently not a surgeon though.
Spin Doctors: No doctors.

I feel like a fair amount of those on the trained side aren't medical doctors (Phil, Ock, Robotnik, Lector, Honeydew) or at the very least, aren't folks you'd want around for your heart attack.

Dr Strange being a professional surgeon and barely making it past the neutral mark on the qualification axis seems, well, a bit strange

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

Isn’t/wasn’t Dr. Strange a surgeon?

Some unsolicited comments on this:

  • I would absolutely trade Dr. Bunsen Honeydew with Dr. Mario.
  • The Dr. Pepper position is just pure slander.
  • Dr. Horrible and Doogie Howser, MD is the true duality of humanity.
  • Zoidberg is suspiciously much higher along the Y-axis than I would personally prefer.
  • Dr. Dre, like I would forget, is absolutely a quadrant II candidate. There's just no way I'd put Spin Doctors high along the Y-axis than Dre.

Dr. Strange is a fully trained surgeon. He should be farther to the right!

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Not just fully trained, but at the top of his field and possessing an MD and a PhD! He should be at the far right edge!

I should trust Zoidberg more than Dr. Phil?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days 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.
