Oh Elliot. Such girl, perfect booty
To this day Scrubs still is the show with most hot girls I’ve watched.
Scrubs though. My favourite TV show and my first source of information for sex-related topics during my teenage years as we didn’t really have a pc until later and sex was, and still is, regarded as taboo to my Catholic parents.
I’m thankful this show exists.
Voted most accurate TV medical show!
Other than all the babes, but I’m not complaining.
I worked in a pediatric hospital… attractive ladies were a dime a dozen. All batshit crazy though.
This is, uh, not the case in the south, unless you’re into Ruben.
Not in my south. I had to switch pediatrics to follow my doctor, who left because one of the other doctors and an RN slept with a patient’s father. And they were all previously married. Everyone who worked there was attractive and also crazy. The new clinic is still filled with hot people, but they don’t sleep with patients’ guardians. AFAIK lol
Jesus Christ, how horrible! Which hospital was it specifically so I can avoid them in the near future?
Uh, which hospital? No reason.
That’s exactly my type
Yes I remember that. Also it happened more than once that patients seeking treatment stopped by thinking that previously dismissed hospital resumed operations 😂
Prior to House MD. Scrubs launched 2001 and House in 2004. House MD is arguably the most accurate medical show to exist, mainly because the majority of wacky medical mysteries came from actual doctors. It is still TV of course, but real stories can’t be beat by Hollywood make believe.
The cases may be real, however medicine is never done like in House.
The application of cutting corners, but the actual science and interplay of symptoms is accurate.
That’s what they are saying. Sure House is scientifically accurate as far as the symptoms and diseases.
Scrubs is far more accurate, because that’s what practicing medicine in a hospital can be like, and they show how medicine is actually practiced, as opposed to House’s “Superdoc” approach.
mainly because the majority of wacky medical mysteries came from actual doctors
Same with Scrubs. What makes Scrubs a lot more accurate is most of the times doctors aren’t dealing with crazy medical mysteries.
The medical conditions might be more realistic in House, but the process and behavior of people certainly aren’t.
It’s similar with programming on TV. If you look at Mr. Robot, all the hacking methods and computer jargon are really accurate, down to KDE vs. GNOME rivalry, but the plot is total fantasy and nobody behaves as real programmers do. On the other hand, Silicon Valley is more like scrubs - the software is made up, it’s a comedy, but the story and people are 100% realistic (except better dressed, since it’s still Hollywood).
For a long time I absolutely hated Zach Braff because he had an uncanny ability to have love interests that matched mine.
Sarah Chalke, Mandy Moore, Heather Graham, Elizabeth Banks, Tara Reid - basically a conveyor belt of women I was in love with as a teen.
I still remember all the specific scenes i would pause on my ipod video in my early teenage years when i was doing… Research
perfect booty
You mean ole mole butt?
Elliot was hot!! I had a huge crush on her. I was always like “JD! You dumass!”. I think this is a typical method to get viewers emotionally invested. Like Joey and Dawson in Dawson’s creek. Probably a ton of these examples.
And then… Brendan Fraser.
Where do you think we are?
Too soon! ;-;
They kind of gloss over the fact that’s a complete psychotic break.
I think that’s one of the strengths of the show. They don’t try and ram home every emotion or problem. It’s a hospital. They deal with the worst of times.
Fuck me man, you pretty much made me tear up with that single line. Favorite/most memorable scene in the show for me!
Damn I had forgotten about that! Huge memory unlocked
Just an amazing human being and actor. If you haven’t seen The Whale, it’s highly recommended.
It made me cry though. It’s really sad.
Of course he is an amazing being and actor.
Have you seen the scrubs episodes where he played
Cox’s brotherCox’s best friend Ben?*Jordan’s Brother
Oh… my apologies.
Yeah I’ve seen them all many times. They are sad and funny at the same time, its brilliant directing and acting.
I can’t watch that movie because I work in a field that lets me smell it.
I just watched the other night and was unreasonably angry at the end crying uncontrollably. Idk how to mark spoilers on here but the end just pissed me off. Phenomenal otherwise
Yeah… Because it shows how cruel people can be to eachother. Thats why you got angry? Without spoiling…
I’m in tears at the thought
Scrubs was the king of making up nicknames for their characters
Turk turkleton begs to differ.
Barbie still can’t decide what to do with those annoying bangs.
Very cute girls on that show, and funny. Really liked scrubs.
This is still not Barbie.
This is what you put on Barbie: 🍖 (you cook meat with it, because barbecue)
A Barbie is what you throw the shrimp on.
I wanted to use a barbecue emoji, little did I know it never existed in the first place.
Barbie was stolen from a German toy manufacturer.
bought
The couple that will later found Mattel, were on a vacation on Germany when they saw a doll (forgot the name ). At home they literally copied it and it became a huge success, selling worldwide. The CEO of the German toy company didn’t know about it until he saw it being sold on a toy shop. The company was dying, partially due to the barbie doll and so they sold the company to mattel. Watched a vid about it like two days ago.
Man those were the days! I loved scrubs! I remeber the episode where JD tells a joke about a moth going to a closed office but forgets the punchline. He proceeds to tell a story of the moth going about it’s day for like 5 mins and then remebers the punchline… Because the light was on. Kinda had to be there but man that had me cry laughing.
The accidental shaggy dog joke. He made it so much better by being both upbeat and awkward.
BORBIE
“German is such a beautiful language”
I like to troll nurses by saying things like “It’s like that one episode of Scrubs!” 😈
And you wouldn’t be far of since scrubs is one the medically most correct Shows out there.
Ricks daughter is Barbie?
You mean Beth?
Second Becky
Bitchslap Barbie from Connecticut.
I’m surprised no one mentioned the REAL barbie:
I see you watched Rat Race
Honestly, it didn’t age well at all.
Really? Dang, that’s a bummer. I haven’t rewatched it since it originally aired but at the time I thought it was superb.
How so? I remember really liking the older seasons
Sexism, homophobia, transphobia all very present and in no way addressed. It was very much a child of the times. Crazy how far we’ve come in such a short time.
Its one of those shows that’s better remembered than rewatched though
What has two thumbs and doesn’t give a crap what you think?
Lol, link gives an error right now but I have the image in my head so it’s okay :)
Not true at all. I’m rewatching now and it’s as good as ever!
Yeah, the best unique humour of any show (that I have seen), and it still works today.
This only happens if you slip into Season 9 in my mind.
Well a lot of the humour is really transphobic or sexist and I definitely remember at least one racist joke. There is definitely a lot of good jokes and it’s a funny show, but then something like that comes out of left field and it just kills the mood for me.
There are instances of some gay panic moments, especially in the earliest seasons when that was the norm for early 2000s western culture, but to suggest “a lot” of the humour is of this nature is just plain false.
that was the norm for early 2000s western culture,
Which is why I think it’s better remembered than rewatched.
I don’t think we watched the same show. No transphobic crap in that show, and the rest of it is JOKES, grow up.
The problem is when you take something out of its time and see every portrayed character as stereotype - you will kill all humor in the end. Imaginge some todays series in 10 years. There will always be some further developed people who adapted their own human being to whats morally acceptable in given time.
Ask people who are “affected” by the humor and if they are offended. Or make jokes about growing grass.
I rewatch it like every 2 years or so and it holds up and is really good.
It’s my ToP 3 show of all time with Community and IASIP.
What version? Because I’m worried on a rewatch that the problems with the soundtrack are gonna really detract from the experience.
THe high seas aren’t affected by the licensing squabbles of scrubs
I watched it for the first time recently and it was good but… Nowhere near as amazing as the internet led me to believe it would be. JD and Elliot’s relationship in particular was infuriating and I hated any episodes that were about it. They turned each other into horrible people.
Maybe that’s the message ? :)
To me they felt more like the generic will-they-or-won’t-they pairing that a lot of sitcoms felt the need to include and constantly inject with drama, rather than an intentional exploration of a toxic relationship. I honestly preferred them a lot more as friends and felt like their characters had a lot more chemistry together when their relationship was platonic. I was hoping during the stretch of time when they finally broke up for real after being on and off again for a while, and JD didn’t have feelings for her anymore supposedly, that things would stay that way. But no, they get back together again eventually. Maybe I’m biased because I’m not generally interested in romance, but I didn’t mind the relationship between Dr. Cox and Jordan, or Turk and Carla. It was just JD and Elliot that I disliked. It was honestly my least favourite part of the show.
I’m in complete agreement, the relationship between JD and Elliot was awful. It felt like JD was in a permanent state of puppy love while ignoring a mountain of red flags. The writing always seemed to demand a winner for their disagreements too. There was never any compromise, just one of them deciding to take blame and say sorry while the other accepts the apology. Elliot always seemed to be the winner, even when she was objectively way in the wrong. The worst example I can think of is when
spoiler
Elliot cheated on her boyfriend with JD. I think she believed their relationship was over but it wasn’t? JD wants to tell so they will break up. Elliot doesn’t want him to so they can keep dating. They never bother to think about the boyfriend’s feelings. JD “does the nice thing” and doesn’t tell so Elliot can continue her relationship built on a lie. Whole episode felt sleazy.
Funny enough, Elliot sort of became a heel character for me, I enjoyed it when she got knocked down a peg. From what I understand she’s a lot of people’s least favorite.
I never fully understood the appeal, but i have some good memories watching it with a group. I rewatched some the other day and it was really gucking bad. I guess if you find bad slapstick funny or seeing people run in these fast forward sequences, then it’s pretty good.
