I don't really disagree, I'm not even sure where it came from, honestly. The first search result from whatever term I used? ("comic Kirby eating doctor"?) mostly being somewhat facetious in the chain of shameless ripping.

I have this nasty habit of taking jokes - even ones I recognise as such - and starting a serious line of thought from that. I know you're joking because that's an excessive amount of effort for sharing a joke, but in the process of evaluating that, my brain has latched on to the question of "Could that be serious? How would that play out?", started analysing and I don't know how to make it stop doing that.
