Ho Chi Sock is a minor character appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
History[]
Background[]
Ho Chi Sock is Jack Howitzer's sock puppet, although Jack is convinced that he isn't one and has a life of its own.
Jack "met" Ho Chi Sock in the laundry room of Bolingbroke Penitentiary whilst incarcerated and he talks to him when times are tough. Sock "speaks" with a stereotypical Southeast Asian accent, and his appearance is similar to that of a typical Vietnamese soldier during the Vietnam War; wearing a conical hat, green jacket, red neckerchief and holding a model SKS.
Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
Sock appears in the TV series Jack Howitzer; he is used as Jack's Lifeinvader profile photo, and has a blog post on Jack's website. He types with his mouth and his English isn't that good - he is prone to typos and his spelling is similar to the phonetics of a stereotypical Eastern Asian accent; swapping Rs and Ls with each other and omitting short words. He has a grudge with Rufus Bellows, who wants Jack to get rid of the puppet.
Character[]
Influence[]
Ho Chi Sock is based on Ho Chi, the sidekick of Howitzer's character Tim in the Evacuator Trilogy, who in turn was based on Vietnam's Communist leader Ho Chi Minh.
His appearance is based on the stereotypical Vietnamese appearance popularized during the Vietnam War.
