@@seangannon6005 I mean the whole show is ridiculous, but their insurance carrier would have gone ballistic. Janitor trips a doctor, has been tormenting the doctor for years, this is widely known, including to management, and nothing is done? Yeah, legal would have demanded he be fired, the potential law suit from JD alone would cripple them. I mean JD, Turk, Carla, and quite a few others would have been terminated as well. You cant apply real world logic to that show. Also, there arent nearly enough doctors and specialists shown. Turk went into general surgery? I guess. Thats not super common, people tend to specialize now. JD is what a hospitalist (internal medicine), sure but they dont talk about whether or not he sat for boards, if he picked up another board certification (pretty common). They have them diagnosis infectous diseases and cancer....they have specialists for all of that. I love the show...but nothing in it is realistic...at all.
@@Bigbudd0045 Alot of the routine procedures that they have them doing are done by nurses and techs. And half the time you couldn't tell if they were working in the ICU or the ED. A lot of the time it seemed like both even though ED physician is a specialty as well. Still, I love this show.
The janitor character was a dangerous bully and needed to be dealt with. I’ve known toxic people like these in the workplace and they usually do a lot of damage. And just like in the story they will target interns / juniors. Managers either don’t notice or turn a blind eye.
@@Farouk.khettabPeople could unlock stuff that wasn't their own. At least now most cars are going to the keyfobs and keyless start. So you wouldn't be able to start other cars with a key like that.
he's like House from another timeline, in which he doesn't become a doctor because he couldn't cheat his way through medschool, so he develops a resentment of other doctors.
Am I the only one who thinks Dr. Maddox sorta had the hots for JD? She fired Janitor the second he hurt him, helped him with his job a lot, and was nice to him constantly while she caused everyone else to hate her. I'm surprised Elliott didn't get jealous.
Maddox only cares about her career more than anything else. She only cared about what the janitor did to JD because it could cause the hospital to get sued if JD had gotten seriously hurt. She also had no interest in working with people that didn't have the insurance to stay in the hospital even if they were in the ICU where no treatment could likely mean they'll die. Even Kelso was willing to work around the rules to make things work if it had to come to it or at least he'd turn a blind-eye if the others tried something like that which they did earlier in the series. Overall, Maddox was just intentionally portrayed to be a horrible human being. She was literally there to show that even though Kelso can be bad, there could be FAR worse than him.
now see, why didn't he just summon his vile minions, the maintenance brothers like he did when cox was starting shit? few hours in the morgue would have sorted her out.
It's amazing with all the rules he violated at the hospital, he didn't get fired or arrested. He teases JD over a stupid penny. Thankful for this woman even though it was only a few episodes.
Honestly I think that since everyone has seen how crazy and resourceful this guy can be when he's just messing with someone. They're actually scared of what will happen to them if he's ever angry or vengeful. Dude made a key that can open anything and a number of other items that shows he's more than just a janitor.
I'd rehire him. You can get more doctors but a guy that can make a key that works on anything? He's the new head of maintenance because he could probably repair everything.
I'm nervously side eying the folks unironically saying Janitor should have been fired long ago or even that Dr. Cox is terrible... like... did y'all watch the show? Did y'all remember it was an early 00s sitcom? I worry about you guys. I really, really worry.
Does the chief of medicine even have the power to fire the head of maintenance? I'm assuming head of maintenance since he's telling others what to do. Wouldn't firings be handled by human resources at a hospital?
people say that janitor wouldve been fired earlier, you need to remember that he was close with the chief of medicine, sometimes used as a merc of chaos. kinda like deadpool helping the x men. i mean, logically they would just capture him "if they could" or just consider him too dangerous."comics is usually the case. heck deadpool kills the entire universe once."

wtf? The Janitor is one of the best character in Scrubs and in TV. They have to bring him back asap. With the move to ABC, I would not be surprised if they get him off the show.
Isn't there a short story by Melville or somebody about a guy who gets fired but keeps coming in anyways, but then the business moves or goes bankrupt and a new one starts up in that building and they can't get rid of him either?
When they wanted to help some of the less fortunate patients e.g. insurance issues etc Kelso would occasionally turn a blind eye to it. The problem with Maddox was that she was preventing them from doing so. Such as the woman with Multiple Sclerosis who had no insurance so her dad was posing as the MS patient to get the medication for her. JD and Elliot wanted to help them but Maddox had them leave the hospital.
I don't get why everyone feels so bad for the Janitor? He was a bully who kept on torturing JD by screwing with him all these years. He also haunted JD all these years for something trivial about the penny being stuck in the door. The Janitor annoyed me sometimes. The Janitor got what he deserved for doing this to JD all these years. Don't get me wrong, I like the Janitor but he's mean sometimes. Also, when JD found out the Janitor got fired, why couldn't he jump around like Ted when he thought Kelso was dead?
What most people forget to realize is that the Janitor is meant to represent the hospital. The everyday struggles of doctors in hospitals. What does the Janitor do? he torments JD. Even an extreme minor mistake blows way out of proportion. Just like you mentioned, something as trivial as a penny stuck in the door turned into a 8-years long struggle between JD and the Janitor. We are meant to dislike him, however there are moments where he's the only real friend JD has, the one who actually makes JD become a better person. Sorry for my rant, just tired of hearing all of this irrational dislike toward the Janitor from people without realizing the purpose he fills in Scrubs. I can go on and on about the Janitor, but you get the point. :)
He's coming back, don't worry. Dr Maddox will be removed shortly and replaced by Cox. Then he'll be free to terrorize J.D. again. This firing is actually pretty clever, as it shows that Maddox just doesn't fit at Sacred Heart, since anyone who fits wouldn't fire Janitor
The problem with her was that she was a chief of medicine for the real world, not a sticom.
That's not a problem it's absolute genius to do that in shows. The Simpsons did it too once and it was a brilliant episode
Wasn’t really a problem, New take on the series. It explored the janitor more

he made one key that works on everything......... how has he not become a supervillan by now?
Because he's too likable
he is the keymaker of an earlier matrix cycle.
Ehh... it’s a lot of work.
Wait! You mean he's not one?!
Did you watch the show, he WAS a supervillain
The janitor is over qualified.
He is a doctor, after all. Dr. Jan Itór
And he went to both Harvard and Yale.
And knew detective John kimball
He's definitely overqualified why he still wanted to work for minimum wage. 🤷♂️
@@ryanyeager3258 minium wage? Manitance is a union job
In the real world, the janitor would have been fired in episode 1 of season 1.
Sometimes we just want to escape real life.
True but yes we literally want to escape from real life.
In season 1 episode 1 they still planned on the janitor being a figment of JD's imagination.
@@ccggenius i wish they had want that route
@@mattjones6578 Then we'd never have him interact with any other characters. Would have been a big loss.
How funny would it have been if the Janitor was lying about making a master key and just gave Monica the key to JD's scooter.
i like that you called her Monica haha
That's probably *_exactly_* what he did.
But it worked on Ted’s briefcase
I like how this character did what any sane boss in real life would do and fire this guy.

You think look at Bob Kelso he never fired the janitor up until one of the characters from Friends fired his ass.

To be fair, most people in this show would have had to have some uncomfortable talks with HR lol. Just the Toddster on his own...
espeically with Todd as the hospital lawyer
@@RimshotKiller Yeah, and that doesn't even get into liability issue that was Doug. It's weird he didn't get kicked out as fast as Cabbage did.

It would probably be illegal to own a key like that.

Ok, so the Janitor is nuts, he's still smart enough to make a key like that.
Everyone on the show is nuts, the Janitor simply doesn't have a name lol
he's like House from another timeline, in which he doesn't become a doctor because he couldn't cheat his way through medschool, so he develops a resentment of other doctors.
So who does House hate again? I assume its everyone.
I assumed he hated Lupus
"May I see it again? Please?

Tiny compared to giant black doctor.
that gentle, "howdy" cracks me up everytime, god i love him so much
lol the janitor's laugh after she she says 'if he had broken his neck'
Motorcycle engines don't start when you twist the key. They have a separate ignition button.
Which just makes this even more impressive.
Actually thats a scooter... and they usually have only key ignitions... also most motorcycles have only key ignition...
I have never ridden or seen a bike or scooter (or atv) that has not had a push button on the handlebars to start.
Jaka Berdajs BS kid.
And lets face it if we were being strict with this scene the other major problem is the throttle twists the wrong way.

I don't think so. Remember he also weirded her out by asking about the delivery of her baby girl.

Better than Cox who treated him like crap
Cleaners aren't employed by the hospital they are contracted

That jump at the daughter picture... hahahahaha.
He made a universal key...awesome.
It’s a good thing she didn’t fire him while he was carrying his knife wrench
She just angered a supernatural entity… God save her.

It wasn't over the penny. It was over not just owning up to his mistake and apologizing
This is more of proof that the Janitor really is the owner of this place.
What about my son ?

A Skeleton Key!

That's how plots work - conveniently.

Can't fire the Janitor. Who'll never clean the 3rd floor bathrooms again?

It's probably the most reasonable thing she did. The Janitor should have been fired.
