Gorlock the Destroyer, whose real name is Ali C. Lopez, found herself the subject of mockery and internet memes after her appearance on the Whatever Podcast in late April 2023. Dubbed “Gorlock the Destroyer” due to her appearance alongside smaller guests and co-hosts, the nickname quickly gained traction, inspiring numerous jokes and memes, including videos where her audio was replaced with the voice of Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars.
The 69th episode of the Whatever Podcast, titled “RAGEQUIT KEEKO vs. CHASE! Round 2! FIGHT! | Dating Talk #69,” was streamed on April 25th, 2023. It featured Ali C. Lopez as a guest.
The following day, a Twitter user with the handle @RichardRatBoy1 posted a tweet with an image of the podcast guests, humorously misnaming Lopez as “Gorlock the Destroyer” alongside other incorrectly named hosts. The tweet quickly gained popularity, amassing over 11,000 retweets and 150,000 likes within a week.
Another Twitter user, @TheOnlyDSC, then posted an edited clip on April 26th, 2023, replacing Lopez’s voice with Jabba the Hutt’s voice. This video gained over 11,000 retweets and 76,000 likes in six days, accumulating more than 4.1 million views. It’s important to note that @TheOnlyDSC was not the original creator of the video, and the true origin remains unknown.
The jokes about “Gorlock the Destroyer” spread rapidly on platforms like Twitter and TikTok, with multiple users sharing clips from the podcast and employing the nickname.
