Doctor Lets Patient Name Their Rare Disease Awkward Monkey Meme

Absurd doctor-patient rare disease joke paired with awkward monkey puppet reaction images

The meme consists of three lines of dialogue at the top, followed by a two-panel image of the popular Awkward Look Monkey Puppet. The dialogue reads: 1. Doctor: I am afraid you have a very rare disease. 2. Patient: Oh no, what is it called? 3. Doctor: Well what do you want it to be called? The left panel shows the monkey with an awkward, wide grin labeled as the Doctor, while the right panel shows the same monkey looking away with a shocked, confused, uncomfortable expression labeled as the Patient. The joke relies on the absurd punchline that the disease is so rare it has no official name, putting the patient in an awkward, unexpected situation. The original post title for this meme was 'Chat am I cooked?!', implying the poster relates to the patient's panicked, confused state.

This meme uses the viral Awkward Look Monkey Puppet (also known as Kento Monkey) template, which originates from the 1999 Japanese children's television show 'Ōkiku Naru Ko'. This specific edited version was shared on Reddit's meme communities, as specified in the provided source information. The meme format is widely remixed for jokes featuring awkward or unexpected conversational punchlines between two parties.
