Dr Disrespectis known for many things - his boisterous personality, incredibleCall of Duty: Warzoneskill, and even his signature mustache-shades-mullet combo. It would seem the popular streamer and gaming personality is now looking to add music to his repertoire, releasing his very own music video.
Herschel “Guy” Beahm IV, aka Dr Disrespect, is well known throughout the streaming community for giving his unfiltered opinion on video games, particularly withCall of Duty: Warzoneand other Battle Royale titles. The streamerrecently criticizedWarzone’s game engine, stating that there needs to be a “total rebuild” of the game for it to compete with similar titles likeFortniteandApex Legends.

Surprise-released the morning of June 2, Dr Disrespect’s “Gamerobics” music video begins with aBlade Runner-esque exterior shot, panning to a “Gamerobics” studio. Inside, a class is waiting for its instructor. Suddenly, a ball of lightning materializes, transporting in the streamer in superhero fashion. After the class has their clothes transformed, everyone opens a can of Mountain Dew Game Fuel, which is what the entire song is based around. One of the highlights is a woman sipping Game Fuel, giving her Dr Disrespects glasses and mustache, and apparently the ability to headbutt a cinderblock. The hilarious video ends with lightning shooting out of everyone’s eyes, forming Dr Disrespect’s logo in the clouds above.
The roughly two-and-a-half minute video is nothing short of a ridiculous collaboration between the two entities to promote Mountain Dew’s Game Fuel, which is essentially somewhere in between a regular soda and an energy drink. While the product-placed music video could be considered pretty “out there” by conventional standards, it isn’t the only odd bit of marketing done by the company recently. Earlier this year,Mountain Dew reunitedGremlinsactor Zach Galliganwith Gizmo the Mogwai to promote its Mountain Dew Zero Sugar sodas.
While its certainly exciting to see Dr Disrespect in such an unexpected format, he isn’t the only streamer to feature in a music video. Beyond her appearance in Machine Gun Kelly’s video for “DAYWALKER!,“Valkyrae also appeared in Bella Poarch’s music video. The incorporation of streamers outside of their usual medium is arguably an example of popular streamers' continued rise of cultural prominence.
Fans ofDr Disrespectand Game Fuel can use the code “GAMEROBICS” on the drink’s official site to receive a limited edition Gamerobics cassette tape. While its unlikely many fans actually have a cassette player, at least its a better idea than theMountain Dew gamer ramen.
