# Dr DisRespect Dr DisRespect is the streaming persona of Guy Beahm, a mustachioed, sunglasses-wearing gaming character known for arrogant catchphrases, retrowave aesthetics and high-production Twitch broadcasts of H1Z1 and PUBG. After winning Streamer of the Year in 2017 and surviving two shootings at his home in 2018, Beahm was banned by Twitch in 2020 and later admitted in 2024 to inappropriate messages with a minor, after which he signed an exclusive deal with Rumble in November 2024. ## Origin Guy Beahm created the Dr DisRespect character in early 2010 by changing his Call of Duty gamertag and filming match footage under the new name[6]. The DrDisRespect YouTube channel went live on January 5, 2010, and the first upload, titled "Dr DisRespect Gaming: The Docs Very 1st Video," showed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 gameplay posted on January 11, 2010[6]. Beahm appeared in sponsored videos on the Machinima network before going quiet on YouTube in late 2011. After a stretch working as a community manager and level designer at Sledgehammer Games on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Beahm returned to streaming and launched the Dr DisRespectLIVE Twitch channel on March 21, 2016[7]. The persona found a wider audience there through H1Z1 and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds runs, where the costume, catchphrases and in-character trash talk turned him into one of the most recognizable figures on the platform[3]. - **Platform:** YouTube (character creation) / Twitch (viral spread) - **Creator:** Guy Beahm - **Date:** 2010 ## Overview Dr DisRespect, often shortened to The Doc, is a fictional two-time (back-to-back) 1993-1994 Blockbuster Video Game World Champion played by Guy Beahm, a former Sledgehammer Games level designer who revived the character on Twitch in 2016[2]. The bit relies on a tall wig, mirrored aviator sunglasses, a tactical vest and a thick mustache, performed over battle royale gameplay with constant self-promotion, trademark phrases about "violence, speed and momentum" and references to his fanbase as the Slick Daddy Club[3]. Audience members address him as Doc; he addresses audience members as Champions. Typical broadcasts open on a neon-lit set modeled on an 80s action movie, cut with staged bits where The Doc insults opponents, licks his fingers after a kill and compares himself to prime-era athletes[2]. He has stayed in character through red-carpet appearances, awards speeches and press interviews, breaking only during a September 2018 broadcast when he removed the wig and glasses on air to tell viewers a bullet had hit his house[1]. The persona itself, more than any single clip, is the meme, parody accounts and fan edits lean on the mustache, the catchphrases and the retrowave branding rather than one fixed template. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Dr DisRespect?
