    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.

      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.

        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 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).

          Same with Scrubs. What makes Scrubs a lot more accurate is most of the times doctors aren’t dealing with crazy medical mysteries.

          Nah, not really. House has 2 episodes where the writers invented diseases (only 2 on the entire run is very respectable though), but more than that, it’s not realistic to have 4 docs working on one case all week. And the cases are very unrealistic in the sense that a lot are not mysteries. If you’re an MD/DO, you can see some of the diagnoses coming a mile away while House and his team pretend it’s a super rare thing. I particularly remember one of the Lyme disease episodes where I got the diagnosis almost immediately, and I was still on med school.

          On the other hand, Scrubs gets the lifestyle of an intern right. Except there’s a lot less sex in real life lol.

        Yes I remember that. Also it happened more than once that patients seeking treatment stopped by thinking that previously dismissed hospital resumed operations 😂

    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.

        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.

      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.

        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.

          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 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.

      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.

    I brought my mother once to hospital with a bad stomach. Slipped a punch line from scrubs. The female doctor countered it within the same second perfectly from the show, a assistant behind us added the next line and I finished the roundabout. My mother looked around us, understood the joke but not where it came from - she hated Scrubs deeply from her heart - and we all told it Scrubs was just the thing.
