Dr. Octagonapus, often playfully misspelled as “Dr. Octagonapus,” is a comedic character that sprang from the depths of internet humor, specifically Dominic Fera’s YouTube video, “THE LAZER COLLECTION.” This quirky persona is a clear spoof of Marvel’s iconic villain, Doctor Octopus, from the beloved Spiderman universe of films and comic books. In his debut within “THE LAZER COLLECTION,” Dr. Octagonapus unleashes his laser upon a parody Spiderman character, complete with a nod to the classic meme, “How Do I Shot Web.”

The Spread of the Octagonapus
The eccentric Dr. Octagonapus cemented his place in internet lore with subsequent appearances, most notably in “The Lazer Collection 3.” This sequel introduced Randall Octagonapus, Dr. Octagonapus’s son, and revealed the character’s unfortunate dismissal from the “council of Shoop” by the infamous Shoop Da Whoop, due to an accidental laser-related incident involving Randall.
From these humble beginnings, Dr. Octagonapus ascended to the pantheon of YouTube memes, infiltrating various corners of the internet. He became a recurring figure in meme compilations and even found a niche within the realm of YouTube Poop (YTP).
Examples of Dr. Octagonapus’s meme ubiquity include appearances in videos like “#5,” often depicted alongside a robot and a choir chanting a memorable phrase. Variations such as “Dramatic Dr. Octagonapus!” and “Real-life Dr. Octagonapus” further illustrate the meme’s adaptability and widespread recognition. Even comedic face-offs like “Ed vs. Dr. Octogonapus” highlight his integration into diverse meme formats.
YTPMV compilations dedicated to Dr. Octagonapus also emerged, showcasing the meme’s musical potential within the YouTube Poop community.
The Misspelling Mystery
Interestingly, despite the intended spelling being “Octogonapus,” the internet has largely embraced the slightly altered “Octagonapus.” This minor misspelling has become so prevalent that searches for “Dr. Octagonapus” on platforms like Google often outweigh those for the correct version. Consequently, when seeking information on this meme, users are frequently directed to results under the “Dr. Octagonapus” spelling, demonstrating the internet’s whimsical and sometimes grammatically fluid nature.
