I don't care how long ago this show went off the air, I will continue to say this: The fact that John C. McGinley was never nominated for an Emmy for his work as Dr. Cox is one of the greatest blunders in awards show history.
@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 That guy's name is Hugh Laurie, and he is brilliant actor, same as John C. You don't have to trash one actor to praise another, seriously. Yes, their characters were similar but not the same, so nobody ripped off anybody. Here some differences between them - House was a limp, Cox wasn't; House was a Vicoddin addict, Cox was alcoholic but later dropped that; House never had these long rants, he didn't speak so fast as Cox, they had different backgrounds; and finally House never learnt how to be happy unlike Cox who actually became a better more mature person in the end. Cox had a family, House had only Wilson. Just because they are grumpy angry/depressed sarcastic men doesn't mean they are the same. Both actors and characters are awesome. And I know that Scrubs themselves had a whole episode around House/Cox comparisons, but it was more to mock such shallow notion (and such shallow people who stick to it) than admit it.
@@RedFire998 Turk is his husband. He's the only man who's ever been inside of him, and they're (“a little bit") married. Their love is higher than anything, it is known, so much so that J.D even had to lie to his future wife and tell her that he loved her more than he did Turk, and that blonde fool believed him😂
The most telling moment about this is that Cox let himself be hugged. Even beyond the words, the fact that he let his friend get that close was awesome. No mockery, no ear flick. That was the biggest gesture he could give to J.D.
@@-Big_Big also it is Dr.Cox and he is very proud. So I´d guess if you beat him in his own game like JD did in this scene he will accept defeat like a man. Even though he didnt like it xD
mluiga I agree. While Cox had been more tender towards JD in certain scenes/episodes, he had never - NEVER - once said all he thought about him, or truly showed he cared TO SOMEONE ELSE. Even when he defended him, it was in a way which suggested he either owed him in some way or it'd also benefit himself. It was actually pure brilliance that the writers left it this way until the ending, when he finally, truly bared all when he really didn't have to.
@@tomatoeatsmytoe1052 Nope, only 8 series, never a ninth. Never, not ever. No, not a "school" series or anything like that. Nothing to see here, move along. Come on people, don't you have homes to do to?
I doubt that I will ever watch anything on TV more perfectly executed than the Scrubs finale. One of the very few TV shows that actually left a hole in my heart after I watched the whole thing.
“For the record he was the best that ever came through this dump. John Dorian was the first and only doctor I ever met who cared as much as I do, and you can forget about him being just an exceptional physician. Because the fact of the matter is, he's a damn exceptional person. That's why people gravitated toward him, that's why I did. He was my friend.”
Perry always knows who's behind his back and Sunny's face tells a lot. I think he knew JD was there and went ahead and said what he could never say looking at his Newbie.
perry often knows people coming up behind him throughout the show even without turning around adressing them with name. director has stated this in a dvd bonus. he did it on purpose yes.
He knew he was behind him. "In the Season 2 DVD commentary of "His Story", series creator Bill Lawrence stated that one of Dr. Cox's quirks is that he knows if someone is standing behind him and who it is, without turning around to check. This quirk is defied in "My Finale" when J.D. stands behind Cox as he tells one of the new interns how he really feels; throughout the speech, he gives no sign that he knows that J.D. is behind him." Makes that moment even better.
I like to think when JD tells everyone he took the new job in the preceding episode, the ACTUAL reason Dr. Cox gets so excited and attempts the backflip is because he is so happy and proud of JD
@@jenschristiantvilum honestly he shouldve known! The way she reacts, the way he speaks out for JD right after JD gave up... His instincts should be ringing alarm telling him that was too easy! JD must be right behind you its a setup!
Notice that Cox said, "he was my friend." The only reason he said what he said is because he thought his relationship with JD was over. As an emotionally closed-off guy myself, I've lost many a great friendship because I no longer had immediate contact with the other person and I didn't have it in me to reach out and ask them to hang out again. Good friends are a rare breed these days, so make an effort to keep those friendships alive if you happen to have one.
The actual emotion from cox combined with the hilarity of JDs reaction simultaneously gives a touching and hilarious moment. This clip perfectly represents scrubs.
This is one of the two scenes (the other being series finale's cover song by Peter Gabriel) in the history of TV that made me cry and laugh at the same time. Cry beacuse JD finally got the validation he'd been craving for and laugh because, well, it's JD and Dr Cox! Great stuff!
I truly believe that Dr Cox knew he was there. He just couldn't do it to his face. So he gave him this one as he truly deserved it as he had been there for cox's when ever he needed him. But we all knew deep down Cox saw J.D as an important person in his life. Even when he tells him he is leaving you can tell Cox acting like his happy he is getting rid of him. But in truth he is ecstatic J.D is moving up in his career. But is not the kind of guy that can admit happiness for others. Well that's just my take on it.
This show will never get old to me. I used to watch this show every night. I would put it on as I was going to sleep, or when I couldn't sleep. JD and the gang would help me to not feel so alone. I didn't have a lot of friends. Wasn't very popular. Got bullied a whole lot, and this show was like home to me. Scrubs will always be a big part of who I am and how I made it through the Hell I went through in high school.
Despite the tough exterior and constant mocking, we all knew all along the guy had a heart of gold. EDIT: I think he knew JD was behind him as well and just kept up the pretence.
This speech puts every moment between the two of them into perspective. He was a mentor and a friend every step of the way, it just wasn’t in his nature to show it.
Or how about the scene where dr cox realises the donor organs were infected and the girl didnt kill herself. Most tearjerking scene in the whole show. Also the song "how to save a life" was chosen perfectly.
This is, and most likely will be the only point in the history of televeision that completely broke me. I have never cried harder and most likely never will. Thank you, Scrubs. You mean so much to me.
"I'm so full of your love right now I, literally, could not take another drop. Brace yourself, I'm coming in..." That's the most adorable and sexually questionable line on TV.
I love Dr. Cox! Even though he wasn’t complimenting JD through the series overtly, he spent more time with him than any other doctor, and despite, (or maybe because of) all the razzing JD found his real potential. And despite claiming how annoying JD was, it was always obvious he believed in him. Plus, JD slept with his wife, and Perry never killed him.
Because of the fact that Perry always knows who's standing behind him, that means he basically said what he said directly to JD which somehow hits way harder than him overhearing it. Not only did he not mind that he heard, but he said it out loud knowing full well that he'd be listening.

Dr. Cox actually told J.D he loved him in season 2
"Goodnight best friend."

Turk is his bro, that's even higher.

Greatest show finale I think I’ve ever seen. Perfect.

„Oh god, no“
"He thinks I am an exceptional *oww* person!!"
I cant stop repeating that scene hahaha
Kinda Deadpool vibe :D
Just like a cartoon.
I like the fact that he celebrates being called an exceptional person (as opposed to an exceptional doctor)
“For the record he was the best that ever came through this dump. John Dorian was the first and only doctor I ever met who cared as much as I do, and you can forget about him being just an exceptional physician. Because the fact of the matter is, he's a damn exceptional person. That's why people gravitated toward him, that's why I did. He was my friend.”

If you look, Cox actually leans into the hug too. At least just a little.
Dr. Cox is such a tsundere.
Aleksander Kazecki yes yes he is
on that Vegeta tip?
And he doesn't even have the classic loli figure
(Weird fan art opportunity)
dammit. and now i have to look up the meaning of tsundere.
Tsundere, anime personality trope terminology. One that lies about their feelings towards one or something, platonic or romantic otherwise.
Perry always knows who's behind his back and Sunny's face tells a lot. I think he knew JD was there and went ahead and said what he could never say looking at his Newbie.

@@kainedakillerv2704 where is the supercut of all the nose touches, I need to see this now. Didn't realize how much he did until reading this comment.

"Oh God...no."
I actually cried and laughed. love these characters so much
1:16 Dr Cox slightly leaned in for the hug!
I noticed that too! Definitely subtle and intentional
"You smell like a father figure"
That line just cracks me up.
"You smell like a Father Figure" is going to be my go to move when confronted by any Male in Public
“Thank you god... that was beautiful” yes JD It was.

don't forget Woody!

duuuude i had never thought of it before but youre totally right ! WHO ELSE IS PSYCHED FOR THE PSYCH MOVIE COMING OUT IN DECEMBER?
This is how real homies talk about other homies behind their back.
"Oh god no" Dr. Cox after he said what he really thinks of JD
This show will never get old to me.

Scrubs will always be a big part of who I am and how I made it through the Hell I went through in high school.
Honestly crazy how much scrubs has meant to me too, I keep re watching it all the time
i just could not not evil laugh after Dr Cox's last line
0:40 - It's eerie how much Zac Braff looks like John Ritter here with this expression. That's why I loved that they cast Ritter as JD's dad.
I remember watching this and thinking “that isn’t like Sunny at all”
Don’t think I’ve ever seen cox with a more mortified expression on his face than during that hug
The ‘oh god no’ is just perfect.
That "oh god no" delivery is absolutely perfect
First and only time Dr. Cox called him "John Dorian"
This scene made me lose it. It was Emmy worthy.
He said it another time. It was when he was praising JD in his actual evaluation.
One of the few times in the show where Dr Cox actually calls JD by his real name.
I love the face drop when he realises JD was there.
Despite the tough exterior and constant mocking, we all knew all along the guy had a heart of gold.
EDIT: I think he knew JD was behind him as well and just kept up the pretence.
Man I just keep coming back to this video.
Scrubs has become an emotion.
Feel so connected.
1:35 Oh my God I just realized, Dorian is if SpongeBob was a human being.
Scrubs still holds true today and I love it
thank you, God, that was beautiful
Cant beat the emotion in this clip
This part almost brought me to tears the first time I saw it. The magic of scrubs
This scene makes me cry every time.
I always come back to this every few years
This speech puts every moment between the two of them into perspective. He was a mentor and a friend every step of the way, it just wasn’t in his nature to show it.
"I'm so full of your love, I literally can't take another drop... Brace yourself I'm coming in" even in context it sounds dirty.
"He was my friend"
All it takes, just those words, perfect.
Congratulation! Sunny, you have won a superb education😊
Bruh I read the wiki page on the finale and cried. This show means everything to me.
I'm going through a rewatch of the entire series and never realized in the season 1 finale cox said almost this exact same thing to JD.
Poor Sunni is going to suffer for her part in that😀.
And then he's going to realize he likes her, too. Not as much, but still.
Worth it!! Because no matter how much Cox torments her, she now knows (and he knows that she knows) Cox's crowning moment vulnerability.
Wasnt it revealed in Season 9 that she Blackmailed him with that Moment so he couldnt torture her as much? Or was that someone else? :p
@@Y0G0FU there is no season 9. We do not talk about it
@@Y0G0FU There is no season 9. It does not exist.
My second favourite speech in scrubs
As soon as the "oh God no" came I knew he knew he was dreading that the hug was coming
Best 2000's show ever.
Cox will never admit it but he loved JD a lot! He was without a doubt his favorite student
This is literally a video of him admitting it.
John McGinley is massively underrated
God. if this didn't hit me right in the feels i don't kno what did.
Nina's turning into a chimera and then dying in the most horrible way ever in FMA :'(
Or how about the scene where dr cox realises the donor organs were infected and the girl didnt kill herself. Most tearjerking scene in the whole show. Also the song "how to save a life" was chosen perfectly.
This is, and most likely will be the only point in the history of televeision that completely broke me. I have never cried harder and most likely never will. Thank you, Scrubs. You mean so much to me.
"You realize that even though he gets to leave, you have to stay." xd
This is the best sitcom of all time. It makes you laugh and cry. So many brilliant actors.
I agree.
JD's face after Cox says "He is a damn exceptional person" = 1000s of orgasm. I literally felt that every time I watch this.
0:52 Cox knew exaclty that he was standing behind him
'Nyu.... Nyaaa didn't....'
He says to the *next* Dr. Dorian the hospital is likely to see.
one of my all time favorite tv lines! Such a great way to end their relationship in the series :)
I'm not crying, you are.
"He thinks I'm an exceptional -OW-person...!"
LMAO. I find myself doing that from time to time when I walk through a door-way.
Beautiful scene.
"You realize that even though he gets to leave, you have to stay"
"...no, I didn't..."
A perfect scene that reveals how great this show was.
In a way outing Sunny like that is JD's last gift to Cox. A new purpose.
“You smell like a father figure” gets me every fucking time man lmao
“I didn’t think that out.”
“Ngnyo. Gya didn’t”
I love how JD knew damn well that this was awkward for Doctor Cox and he made it even more awkward on purpose and enjoyed every second of it.
So many incredible moments in Scrubs. This was one of the very best.
"I...am so full of your love..."
I love the relationship between J.D. and Scrubs Cox
That look on his face when he realised he was behind him 😅🤣
My second favorite detail is that the real JD is in the background and had said goodbye to jd
*snifffff* "Ooooh, you smell like a father figure..."
XD I LOVE Perry's face when he does that!
I bet when no one was watching though that Dr. cox smiled at how clever that was.
When cox reminds her she is still stuck there in her mind she's going "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"
Fight me! best scene of scrubs hands down!
I'm so happy this is how the whole series ended *cough* s9 doesn't exist *cough*
"I'm so full of your love right now I, literally, could not take another drop. Brace yourself, I'm coming in..."
That's the most adorable and sexually questionable line on TV.
This show really knew how to make you laugh and cry all at the same time I never felt like that with any other show
Cox slightly leans into the hug at the last second
Cox is awesome. Scrubs is my damn life. It's got me past soo much seeing J.D. mess up over and over!!!
"... Thank You, God... That... was... beautiful."
I love Dr. Cox! Even though he wasn’t complimenting JD through the series overtly, he spent more time with him than any other doctor, and despite, (or maybe because of) all the razzing JD found his real potential. And despite claiming how annoying JD was, it was always obvious he believed in him.
Plus, JD slept with his wife, and Perry never killed him.
Scrubs was my favorite Tv series growing up, it's full of real life lessons and situations.
there is no season 9 in ba sing se.
Shhhh. We never mention that existance.
Lmao avatar reference you rock
Cox’s little “Oh God, no…” killed me 😂
Because of the fact that Perry always knows who's standing behind him, that means he basically said what he said directly to JD which somehow hits way harder than him overhearing it. Not only did he not mind that he heard, but he said it out loud knowing full well that he'd be listening.
