The internet is buzzing with laughter and nostalgia over a recent video titled "To Diabetes or Diabeetus... that is the question," featuring a quirky tribute to the late Wilford Brimley on VCR Party Live. This viral sensation captures the humor and charm of Brimley's iconic pronunciation of "diabetes" as "diabeetus."

In the video, viewers are greeted with the word "DIABETES" followed by a thankful nod to Wilford Brimley. The repeated chant of "DIABETES" sets the stage for a playful exploration of the pronunciation that has become a beloved meme. As the phrase "So, you got diabetes" echoes, it’s impossible not to smile at the affectionate tribute to Brimley's memorable delivery.

Reactions to the video have been overwhelmingly positive, with users sharing their favorite moments and adding their own comedic twists. One comment humorously exclaims, "DIAHBEEEDUS!" while another reminisces with the phrase, "Dr Zaius, Dr Zaius, ohhhh Dr Zaius," highlighting the cultural impact Brimley had. The news of Brimley's passing in 2020 at the age of 85 also surfaced, reminding everyone of his lasting legacy.

Some comments delved into personal anecdotes, such as one user who shared, "True story. I said diabeetus in front of a GI chief in a meeting. Man had a Wilfred Brimley stache and just looked at me like I was an a******. Career highlight." This highlights how Brimley's unique pronunciation has become a part of everyday humor.

Others found creative ways to engage with the theme, stating, "I’m blue, diabeetus dabeeda," and "Rock me Diabeetus!" The humor even extended to a comment explaining the phenomenon of "somatic satiation," where a repeated word starts to sound like nonsense—a fitting description for the video’s playful repetition of "diabetes."

Brimley's influence even reached fans of classic cinema, with one user commenting, "If there’s a Mount Rushmore for looking 70 your whole life, this man is on it with Morgan Freeman." Such reactions underscore the fondness and respect people have for Brimley's unique persona.

The video not only pays homage to Wilford Brimley but also serves as a reminder of the joy and laughter that simple, memorable moments can bring. It’s a testament to the enduring charm of Brimley’s legacy and the light-hearted spirit of internet culture. For anyone looking to relive the humor and nostalgia of "diabeetus," this video is a must-watch.
