About
"Piccolo Dick" refers to an animated GIF of the Dragon Ball character Piccolo having forced sexual intercourse with Vegeta. The disturbing nature of the picture made it a regular post on the imageboard 4chan, making that users named it Daily Dose, and normally accompanied with images containing the colors green and purple to make the combination of the two colors evolve as a trigger in a person's subconscious that results in him being reminded of the gif each time he sees those colors. The replies to these images often feature the catchphrase "Thanks, doc"
Origin
The original animated image was made by GIF artist BadEnd,[1] and the earliest upload of it can be found on Rule34, on April 1st, 2008.[3] (Viewer discretion is adviced when clicking the following image.)
Spread
At some point, the GIF was shared on the /v/ (Video Games) board on 4chan, and soon, the moderators of /v/ started to ban everyone who posted the unedited version of the image, causing the users to post it even more by simply editing the original image and reporting it, which led to images simply containing the colors green and purple already being linked to it. This caused a very wide spread on /v/ and soon moved onto other boards. Although it was first known as just "Piccolo Dick", the daily posting of the image soon resulted in the nickname "daily dose".
The character Vivian James is the result of a collective decision by 4chan's /v/ board, who was created in August 2014 as a result of donations to The Fine Young Capitalists. Some aspects present in Vivian James’ visual design represent the board, with her striped sweater being green and purple as a reference to the infamous daily dose images.
Kritikal – Green and Purple
On September 14th, 2010, American rapper Wiz Khalifa released his song "Black and Yellow" (shown below, left), which many assumed was a reference to the colors of Pittsburgh's NFL team. In the year after it was released, "Black and Yellow" spawned dozens of remixes, mostly in tribute to other sports teams. In December of that year, American rapper Kritikal created a remix of Khalifa's song titled "Green and Purple" (shown below, right), which refers to weed and the stoner subculture.
Due to the colors mentioned in Kritikal's remix, the song was quickly combined with Daily Dose. On December 6th, 2011, Youtuber Enginu uploaded a video titled "Green and Purple Extra Strength Dose", featuring fanart of Piccolo based on the Daily Dose meme and Kritkal's remix. As April 3rd, 2015 the video gained over 300,000 views.
