Sam Lloyd, who played the balding middle aged man, AKA Ted the Sweaty Lawyer, sadly passed away last year at age 56 from an inoperable brain tumor. His wife had just given birth to their son when he received the diagnosis. He was working on a musical for his son until his death. The a-capella band in Scrubs was his actual band, The Blanks. In the show they were called The Worthless Peons. Listen to their rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, that was inspired by Iz Kamakawiwoʻole's version. His Uncle is actor Christopher Lloyd who played Doc Brown in Back To The Future.
I didn't know he was related to Christopher Lloyd but that makes sense. I've seen him interviewed and he seems like a great guy. Amazing voice and always loved his relationship later in this show.
"This show has no right making me want to cry all of a sudden..." *me laughing until I remember "Where do you think we are" and then crying* Just like everyone else, I highly recommend this show.
Scrubs was one of those shows that always did a great job of balancing the more whacky comedy with emotional gut punches. The music was also always a big part of the show, and they actually did musical-esque moments before. My Philosophy in season 2 (ep 13) has a fantastic musical scene, and every time The Worthless Peons (The Blanks in real life) show up is great.
@@AmieMariah_ Not just reoccurring but reoccurring across 2 shows. They appear also in Cougar Town as the same characters and they're a band off screen too. There are compilations out there Im sure. Sadly Ted (the balding main guy of the group) passed away recently
@@AmieMariah_ In a Christmas episode the bald lawyer (Ted) does a really incredible Christmas mashup of the Beatles' song "Please Please Me" and "Joy to the World"...it's a lot of fun.
Donald Faison, who plays Turk, and Zach Braff, who plays JD, met on the set of Scrubs and have become close friends in real life. Both run a podcast together called Fake Doctors, Real Friends. Zach was Donald's best man. He called their relationship "love at first sight".
And also compared to others it creates a different atmosphere: It isn't sad all the time, it balances with humour most of the time and then unexpectedly it punches you in the gut 🥺🥺🥺
@@AmieMariah_ yeah indeed she is. I have wondered in the past, if the writers suggested her for the role, as she was involved in a lot of the early Avenue Q readings too
I wouldn't be surprised! As they say it's not what you know, it's who you know. That being said Stephanie is incredibly talented and deserving of the role in her own right
"They were singing about poo 2 minutes ago". And that's the Rollercoaster that makes Scrubs my favorite comedy. That and I've had a crush on Sarah Chalke since her Rosanne days.
While it never comes up again, I like to think that the patient made a musical based off this experience. After this episode JD's ringtone was changed to an instrumental version of "Guy Love".
the feeling you had: they were singing about a poop and then you wanted to cry - that's the essence of the show. In an instant you are laughing like "what am I watching?" and after a while emotions and tears appear
2:24 - Give her a break. She's used to acting behind a puppet. 7:35 - 'Balding Middle-aged Man' is Ted Buckland, AKA actor Sam Lloyd. He's one of the show's regular recurring characters and one of his character traits is his barbershop quartet, the Worthless Peons. The band is played by the members of Lloyd's real-life band, The Blanks. 9:45 - Dr. Cox got into medicine in order to help people, but as the years went on, he became increasingly frustrated with dealing with people who treat the hospital like a business and doctors that treat patients like wallets to be emptied. This is most apparent in his ongoing feud with the Chief of Medicine, Dr. Kelso (🎶the Kiss-Ass of Sacred Heaaaaart🎶). He takes out his frustration on anyone who triggers him. His main target is JD, but not JUST because he's annoying. Cox recognizes in JD the same dedication to the patient that he has and he want to make sure JD keeps to that ideal as he develops as a doctor, so he's extra hard on JD in order to toughen him up so that the unfortunate realities of the job won't break him. 12:07 - Okay, I think at this point it's clear that you are unaware of who the patient is. The woman hearing people sing is portrayed by Stephannie D'Abruzzo. She is famous for originating the role of Kate Monster in the Broadway musical Avenue Q. The roll was written with her in mind to play it. 16:11 - Interesting note about this number. During the episode's production, Judy Reyes (Karla) was recovering from a broken ankle (which is why she's sitting in the majority of her scenes in this episode). This number was actually filmed six weeks after the rest of the episode. Related: she toughed her way through the march during the second act reprise, even though it was extremely painful to her. 17:43 - This is the songwriter's LEAST favorite number in the episode. He HATES this kind of song. 19:36 - Welcome to Scrubs.
As a Scrubs super fan, it was fun to predict how you would react. Also, fun fact: When I get really anxious, I sing to myself, "I'm going to be OK, that's what's going to happen. Everything's OK...."
It was such an amazing time filming this episode! I was one of the 10 principal dancers in the episode. I was an orderly in the episode, In the Poo Song, i appear the third "Check The Poo" when the 3 patient says "I was shot" and thats me moving the patient from the camera, and you see me several times throughout the episode also. it was so cheezy good, I LOVED IT!!
"Balding Middle-aged Man," and his quartet were a real quartet (The Blanks). They started making regular appearances on the show after preforming at the cast and crew Christmas party one year. Sadly, Sam Loyd (Balding Middle-aged Man) passed a way a couple years ago due to cancer.
So I’m gonna list and explain some of the medical terms used in the grease song. Credit to one Dr. Hope on TH-cam for doing so in his reaction to this episode, I’m just repeating his explanations. Vena Cava and the Aorta are the blood vessels which lead deoxygenated blood back from the body into the heart (vena cava) and guide oxygenated blood throughout the rest of the body out of the heart (aorta) Amoxicillin and clavulonic acid are a pair of medicines used to treat bacterial infections. Amoxicillin is the actual antibiotic. Some strains of bacteria though are able to secrete a chemical that destroys amoxicillin. So clavulonic acid is administered alongside amoxicillin, as it destroys the enzyme that deactivates amoxicillin. They’re called augmentin when taken together. The Tibia and Fibula are the two bones which make up the lower half of your leg. The left and right ventricle are the parts of the heart that contract to forcefully push blood around your body. The right ventricle pushes blood through the lungs, where it gains oxygen, and the left ventricle sends blood around the rest of the body where it delivers that oxygen. A hypodermic needle and a latex tourniquet. A hypodermic needle means it’s meant for use below (hypo) the dermis layer of the skin, often used for blood draws from arteries and to administer drugs intravenously (into a vein). The latex tourniquet is a tight rubber knot tied around a limb, that compresses the blood vessels and slows or stops blood flow . In this context, that causes the vessels to balloon, making it much easier to insert the hypodermic needle into the blood vessel. Finally a diverticulitis and a barium enema. A diverticulus is a ballooning or outpouch of the intestines. If you’ve ever poked a balloon with you finger you can imagine it somewhat like that. Given how much bacteria is in the intestines, it’s no surprise those pockets of less healthy flesh are prime for infection. When infection develops within a diverticula, that condition is referred to as diverticulitis. They’re diagnosed by administering an emema (a liquid inserted up the back passage) of barium, which is radio opaque. So when the patient is given an X-ray, it will be possible to see where and to what extent the bowel is damaged.
Zack Braff and Donald Faison (Turk and JD) have great chemistry on this show and are actually best friends in real life after meeting on this show. The cast and crew always joked that maybe they were a bit too close, and so that became a recurring joke for their characters as well. "Guy Love" used to get pretty heavy rotation on my iPod back in the day.
"This show that was singing about poo a few minutes ago has no right making me cry". That is scrubs in a nutshell. I've been waiting for someone to do a quality reaction to scrubs. You SLAYED this. From your insightful commentary to your engaging editing, GREAT JOB.
1) I was a diehard _Scrubs_ fan and and I forgot this episode even existed. Thanks for reminding me about it. 2) _Community_ has a holiday "glee club" episode that's pretty good.
Also, Dr Cox is one the best, most complex characters on TV. He’s a cynic, a man who covers up deep emotional scars with a veneer or colossal arrogance, and he has built up a hard shell because he cares about his job too much. Watch the show for his character arc. Amazing.
Curly haired angry doctor (Cox) is mean because he's the jaded veteran who cares to much and has to constantly fight a broken system to get his patients the help they need. Also JD (big hair gangly doctor) is very annoying (but we all love him).
In my humble opinion music is what sets Scrubs apart from any other show I've ever watched. I'm not big on musical theater, but the way this show uses music to convey a point is on another level to the point where I can't think of any other show that even comes close. I highly recommend if not watching the show throughout for its musicality than at least seek out the ones where singing plays a large role. I would recommend Season 2 Episode 13 My Philosophy where they have a few musical scenes, smaller-scaled than these ones, but no less poignant imo
Guy Love has got to be one of the best songs in any tv show musical. The great thing is these songs are so much better when you actually go through the entire series and know the characters well.
The actress who played Carla was recovering from breaking her hip when they filmed this episode; which was a great disappointment to her, as she was looking forward to doing the episode (I think she has a background in dance). This is why she's sitting in a lot of her scenes. But they postponed filming the tango scene until after she recovered, so that she could dance with Turk. Donald Faison (Turk) danced a lot in the series; and in fact, an impromptu dance he made up for the show dancing to Bell Biv DeVoe's "Poison" was used pretty much move for move in Fortnite .
Most of Scrubs episodes are some kind of emotional rollercoaster making you laugh and then crying your eye out. Also Dr. Cox's personality comes from childhood from being abused by his parents
Turk dances all the time in Scrubs. He's incredibly talented and the 2 actors JD and Turk are actually really close friends to this day. Scrubs has the strongest collection of songs in their soundtrack. If you were to watch the entire show the season 8 last episode will make the strongest person cry out of sadness and joy all at once. Forget Season 9 it was a last minute money grab by the studio because they didn't have a replacement series. Scrubs will make you go through the entire emotional spectrum.
Thanks for this. I’ve seen a lot of Doctor’s react to Scrubs, but I like this angle much better. I subscribed, and can’t wait to see more. Also, don’t smother your kids. #themoreyouknow
Shortly after starting work on the episode, Reyes injured herself at home, breaking her hip and requiring surgery. Unfortunately, Carla's biggest scene in the episode still needed to be filmed - the song "For the Last Time, I'm Dominican" - and it required Reyes to dance the tango. Despite the Scrubs scene being imaginary, it wasn't changed, and Reyes had to film the dance scene while recovering from her broken hip. According to Judy Reyes, Scrubs' team was both incredibly supportive and insistent that she be able to film the scene, and they rearranged schedules to accommodate her surgery and recovery. Reyes said she was "thrilled" and "couldn't wait" to film the scene, but dancing the tango after a serious hip injury is certainly less than ideal. However, thanks to Reyes' positive attitude and Scrubs' willingness to accommodate for her recovery, the scene is an excellent part of "My Musical", thanks in part to Reyes' dancing.
I really enjoyed this, thank you. This is one of my favourite episodes of Scrubs. I've seen a few reviews of this episode from medical experts, but none so far by musical theatre fans/experts so this was fun, and as a bonus I always love seeing fellow Aussies on YT. And just a few things I've learned from those other reviews; yes something like auditory hallucinations can actually happen with Temporal lobe damage, and the references in the Friends Forever song are medically accurate (eg, "we're as close as the vena cava and the aorta" - the vena cava carries the blood to the heart, and the aorta takes the blood from the heart). I'm going to seek out your Once More With Feeling review because I feel like that was one of the first musical episodes I remember ever seeing. There's been lots of others since then, but that was definitely one of first, and still one of the few I know of that used original songs and wasn't a jukebox musical.
Fun fact regarding Donald Faison and MJ: In the music video for Fallout Boy's cover of Beat It, he makes an appearance as like a club host where he breaks out some more MJ dance moves
Here are some facts that you missed out on: 1.It was Zach Braff’s (J.D) idea to get the writers of Avenue Q on board. 2.Patti Miller (The patient) is played by Stephanie D'Abruzzo who’s a puppeteer.She was a part of the original Avenue Q line up and (since 1993) works on Sesame Street.
My Musical was basically an intro to Scrubs for people who never saw it before. They lay out basic character traits and stories pretty simply. And it worked. Still does. Theater kids end up Scribs fans after watching this. Get the DVDs or find the original airings if you can. The show is very music heavy and unfortunately streaming omits a lot of the songs. I'm sure you'll be a fan now. 🎶 Welcome to Sacred Heart 🎶
This is my ultimate "feel good show" and your reaction put me in a great mood. You should react to "Crazy Ex Girlfriend" they break out in song randomly and its very theatrical
I just came across your channel and subscribed great video. I actually have the music downloaded from this episode lol. Btw if you can get two pint of larger where you are..I’m going to say Australia? It’s an old bbc show, their musical episode is amazing.
Bro, the show is great. You'd love the show and I think you'd love the real personalities of the actors who play Turk and J.D. They have a rewatch podcast. They just finished watching the 9th and final season of Scrubs for the first time and Zach (J.D.) always uses that psa The More You Know jingle quite often. It's no coincidence you used it in your reaction. It's obvious Scrubs humor is for you 🤙🏽
That bald man actually had his own band with that quartet. It was called The Blanks. Sadly the bald guy Sam Lloyd passed away in april 2020 from lung cancer I think it was.
The balding middles aged man had a quartet group that covered Guy Love from this episode. It’s really good if you like his/their singing here. They’re called The Blanks.
I actually went to college with Jeff Marx, one of the guy who wrote Everything comes down to Poo (and a lot of the music here) with Robert Lopez. The wrote Avenue Q - Which Stephanie D'Abruzzo (Patti) starred in on Broadway.
You should definitely give Galavant a try. While the songs are more spread out many of them are without peer, and the storyline is very touching as well.
Everything Comes Down to Poo is definitely inspired by a combo of The Internet is Made For Por and Everyone's a Little Bit Racist... also fun fact the lady with the aneurism is Stephanie D'Abruzzo from Avenue Q
The guy who plays Ted (the balding lawyer guy) unfortunately passed away from Cancer :( and Stephanie D’Bruzzio has been on Broadway (the patient) she played Kate Monster in Avenue Q
Donald Faison who plays Turk improved a dance in an Air Band Episode of Scrubs that became the default Fornite Dance. Not even kidding...you can look it up! haha
Yes, welcome to the world of Scrubs, where you can have a daydream about ninja surgeons in one episode and then contemplate the concept of mortality in another. Scrubs has honestly made me cry more than any other show on TV.
you should watch the episode (in 5th season) they create a group with turk, janitor, ted and loyd. they sing very well ps: i remembered that the episode is "my way home", my favourite
funny you mentioned buffy multiple times, as soon as i saw this video i instantly went to check to see if you reacted to the buffy video which obviously you did
You're reference to Donald Faison's(Turk) dancings skills, is not alone, at least one of the dance moves from Fortnite was based straight up on some of the dancing done during the run of Scrubs. And if that is not making the big time, I don't know what is. hahahah
Since you enjoy music in tv and movies I assume, This is just a suggestion, no worries if nothing appears! The Motley Crue centered movie, "The Dirt" 2019, obviously, has a lot of singing in it. But the men who played each member had prepared by hanging out with and getting some or most lessons from the bandmates! The movie made me fall in love with Crue. There are some scenes in which the actors were really playing and singing, in particular the 'My kinda lover'- and the 'Shout at the Devil Live Show'- scenes are some examples I'm fairly certain of!
I don't know if anyone mentioned it before, but there is a musical episode to the show Oz (which is usually a serious violent prison show, including this episode). The show usually has a narrator, Harold Perrineau, who was also one of the characters on the show, talking about the the main themes of each episode. When filming this episode, he was busy filming The Matrix (or one of its sequels), so they changed it up to have the characters sing. I think the episode is called "Variety", and also includes a variety show in the prison. I haven't watched it in quite some time, it may be a violent episode (a lot of Oz episodes are...) Also, Community's musical episode is epic, and of course, this Scrubs one :)
Does Broadway musical stalwart (and Zach Branff costar in Bullets Over Broadway) Karen Ziemba having a small part where she neither sings nor dances count as an Easter egg?
Just found your channel, and subscribed almost right away. Would love your reaction to The Blues Brothers if not done already. FYI Ted (Balding Middle Age Man) is a professional singer listen to The Blanks
Sam Lloyd, who played the balding middle aged man, AKA Ted the Sweaty Lawyer, sadly passed away last year at age 56 from an inoperable brain tumor. His wife had just given birth to their son when he received the diagnosis. He was working on a musical for his son until his death. The a-capella band in Scrubs was his actual band, The Blanks.

oh shit I didn't know he passed away, that's awful! His poor family.
I didn't know he was related to Christopher Lloyd but that makes sense. I've seen him interviewed and he seems like a great guy. Amazing voice and always loved his relationship later in this show.
I cried a bunch the day he passed. Such a lovely, talented man
I was in shock when I saw he passed away
"This show has no right making me want to cry all of a sudden..."
*me laughing until I remember "Where do you think we are" and then crying*
Just like everyone else, I highly recommend this show.
That was a very emotionally gutting episode.
WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME.
Or the saddest scene in My Lunch
_How to save a life playing distantly_
@@BlueProphet7 misery loves company
"This show has no right making me want to cry" is a sentiment you'd run into time and time again watching Scrubs.
and futurama
Scrubs was one of those shows that always did a great job of balancing the more whacky comedy with emotional gut punches. The music was also always a big part of the show, and they actually did musical-esque moments before. My Philosophy in season 2 (ep 13) has a fantastic musical scene, and every time The Worthless Peons (The Blanks in real life) show up is great.
You're telling me the Quartet are reoccurring characters!? I love that for them!!!
@@AmieMariah_ Not just reoccurring but reoccurring across 2 shows. They appear also in Cougar Town as the same characters and they're a band off screen too. There are compilations out there Im sure. Sadly Ted (the balding main guy of the group) passed away recently
@@AmieMariah_ not only that they are a legitimate band irl. They were called the blanks and they had many opportunities to shine throughout the show
@@AmieMariah_ Take the time to just watch any of their songs.
@@AmieMariah_ In a Christmas episode the bald lawyer (Ted) does a really incredible Christmas mashup of the Beatles' song "Please Please Me" and "Joy to the World"...it's a lot of fun.
"This show, that was singing about poo 20 minutes ago, has no right making me want to cry all of a sudden."
Welcome to Scrubs! :D
Donald Faison, who plays Turk, and Zach Braff, who plays JD, met on the set of Scrubs and have become close friends in real life. Both run a podcast together called Fake Doctors, Real Friends. Zach was Donald's best man. He called their relationship "love at first sight".
I'm obsessed with their podcast! They actually just did My Musical last week!
Scrubs is the funniest show BECAUSE its the REALEST show. There are some SERIOUSLY sad episodes. And they WORK because of the funny moments.
And also compared to others it creates a different atmosphere: It isn't sad all the time, it balances with humour most of the time and then unexpectedly it punches you in the gut 🥺🥺🥺
Another fun fact, The patient was played by Stephanie D'Abruzzo, who played Kate Monster/Lucy in the original Broadway cast of Avenue Q
I thought she sounded familiar, she is on the original cast recording!
@@AmieMariah_ yeah indeed she is. I have wondered in the past, if the writers suggested her for the role, as she was involved in a lot of the early Avenue Q readings too
I wouldn't be surprised! As they say it's not what you know, it's who you know. That being said Stephanie is incredibly talented and deserving of the role in her own right
GOD IT'S BEEN BUGGING THE HECK OUT OF ME, wondering "WHERE HAVE I SEEN HER BEFORE?" God I feel so sheepish, I'm sprouting wool.
@@DuncMac90 I'm adamant in the commentary on the DVD that they said she won a contest to be in the show
"They were singing about poo 2 minutes ago". And that's the Rollercoaster that makes Scrubs my favorite comedy. That and I've had a crush on Sarah Chalke since her Rosanne days.
That show was the best, and especially to make you laugh out loud and cry your eyes out in the same episode
The creators of the show are clearly very talented. I did not realise the emotional roller-coaster I was getting myself into 😂
@@AmieMariah_ just wait untill you see the ”my lunch” episode. Jesus i still get sad when thinking about it.
@@pappaOfswe I swear this one is oscar worthy 🥺🥺🥺
@@pappaOfswethat was a tearjerker. When jd is talking to her mother, I'm in tears.
Fun fact if someone hasn't already mentioned Ted's "middle aged balding man" quartet were actualy a acapela group.
While it never comes up again, I like to think that the patient made a musical based off this experience. After this episode JD's ringtone was changed to an instrumental version of "Guy Love".

now that i know who that actress is, all i can see is kate monster singing.
When I am hashing out a problem I say to myself ‘work the lock, don’t look at the dogs’ from the original (Tom Selleck) Magnum PI pilot.

"This show that was singing about poo a few minutes ago has no right making me cry". That is scrubs in a nutshell. I've been waiting for someone to do a quality reaction to scrubs. You SLAYED this. From your insightful commentary to your engaging editing, GREAT JOB.
This show has one of the biggest twist rates of bringing you from laughing to genuine tears , like more than any other show i've watched.
I don't know about this episode in particular, but John C McGinley routinely gave (non-singing) rants of that length in most episodes.
1) I was a diehard _Scrubs_ fan and and I forgot this episode even existed. Thanks for reminding me about it.
2) _Community_ has a holiday "glee club" episode that's pretty good.
In your spare time you should definitely watch some Scrubs. It walks that line between comedy and tragedy and it successfully does both. It’s amazing.
Also, Dr Cox is one the best, most complex characters on TV. He’s a cynic, a man who covers up deep emotional scars with a veneer or colossal arrogance, and he has built up a hard shell because he cares about his job too much. Watch the show for his character arc. Amazing.

Guy Love has got to be one of the best songs in any tv show musical. The great thing is these songs are so much better when you actually go through the entire series and know the characters well.
I personally like to think ‘Guy Love” was written about Zach and Donald
There is an amazing show called "Galavant" it is a Muical Comedy that I barely see anyone talk about so I tought I will recomend it
Galavant is absolutely brilliant. And the music is from Alan Menken, of like every golden era Disney fame.
The actress who played Carla was recovering from breaking her hip when they filmed this episode; which was a great disappointment to her, as she was looking forward to doing the episode (I think she has a background in dance). This is why she's sitting in a lot of her scenes.
But they postponed filming the tango scene until after she recovered, so that she could dance with Turk.
Donald Faison (Turk) danced a lot in the series; and in fact, an impromptu dance he made up for the show dancing to Bell Biv DeVoe's "Poison" was used pretty much move for move in Fortnite .
Most of Scrubs episodes are some kind of emotional rollercoaster making you laugh and then crying your eye out.
Also Dr. Cox's personality comes from childhood from being abused by his parents
Scrubs is one of the best sit coms of all time if not best shows of all time because they will make you laugh and 5mins later they WILL make you cry!
Turk dances all the time in Scrubs. He's incredibly talented and the 2 actors JD and Turk are actually really close friends to this day. Scrubs has the strongest collection of songs in their soundtrack. If you were to watch the entire show the season 8 last episode will make the strongest person cry out of sadness and joy all at once. Forget Season 9 it was a last minute money grab by the studio because they didn't have a replacement series. Scrubs will make you go through the entire emotional spectrum.
Dr. Hope's Sick Notes covered this episode and explained all the medical jargon
You should do the musical episode of Community! It is also Christmas themed, so perfect to do soon!
Don’t forget to add Psych: The Musical to your list!
Great reaction to a great musical episode of a great show 💝🤗
"This show has no right making me want to cry all of a sudden..."
Welcome to Scrubs.
Thanks for this. I’ve seen a lot of Doctor’s react to Scrubs, but I like this angle much better. I subscribed, and can’t wait to see more.
Also, don’t smother your kids. #themoreyouknow
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shortly after starting work on the episode, Reyes injured herself at home, breaking her hip and requiring surgery. Unfortunately, Carla's biggest scene in the episode still needed to be filmed - the song "For the Last Time, I'm Dominican" - and it required Reyes to dance the tango. Despite the Scrubs scene being imaginary, it wasn't changed, and Reyes had to film the dance scene while recovering from her broken hip. According to Judy Reyes, Scrubs' team was both incredibly supportive and insistent that she be able to film the scene, and they rearranged schedules to accommodate her surgery and recovery. Reyes said she was "thrilled" and "couldn't wait" to film the scene, but dancing the tango after a serious hip injury is certainly less than ideal. However, thanks to Reyes' positive attitude and Scrubs' willingness to accommodate for her recovery, the scene is an excellent part of "My Musical", thanks in part to Reyes' dancing.
I really enjoyed this, thank you. This is one of my favourite episodes of Scrubs. I've seen a few reviews of this episode from medical experts, but none so far by musical theatre fans/experts so this was fun, and as a bonus I always love seeing fellow Aussies on YT. And just a few things I've learned from those other reviews; yes something like auditory hallucinations can actually happen with Temporal lobe damage, and the references in the Friends Forever song are medically accurate (eg, "we're as close as the vena cava and the aorta" - the vena cava carries the blood to the heart, and the aorta takes the blood from the heart).
I'm going to seek out your Once More With Feeling review because I feel like that was one of the first musical episodes I remember ever seeing. There's been lots of others since then, but that was definitely one of first, and still one of the few I know of that used original songs and wasn't a jukebox musical.
This is my favorite Scrubs reaction. Loved so many of your reactions to so many of the moments in this episode.
Awh you cut out the best part!
"You're the only man who's ever been inside of meeeeeeee!!!!"
"Whoa whoa, I just took out his appendix."
Dr Cox, the Rant singer, was annoyed the whole run by JD. And as in this episode, he always referred to him by women's names.
Fun fact regarding Donald Faison and MJ: In the music video for Fallout Boy's cover of Beat It, he makes an appearance as like a club host where he breaks out some more MJ dance moves
Thank you for this. Hands down, this is my all time favorite television episode ever- of any show. I downloaded the soundtrack for the episode!
@5:23 the FULL song is called Superman by Lazlo Bane. It's here on TH-cam including a full video on set. You're welcome
He’s not a chad… he’s the Todd!
Here are some facts that you missed out on:
1.It was Zach Braff’s (J.D) idea to get the writers of Avenue Q on board.
2.Patti Miller (The patient) is played by Stephanie D'Abruzzo who’s a puppeteer.She was a part of the original Avenue Q line up and (since 1993) works on Sesame Street.
My Musical was basically an intro to Scrubs for people who never saw it before. They lay out basic character traits and stories pretty simply. And it worked. Still does. Theater kids end up Scribs fans after watching this.
Get the DVDs or find the original airings if you can. The show is very music heavy and unfortunately streaming omits a lot of the songs.
I'm sure you'll be a fan now.
🎶 Welcome to Sacred Heart 🎶
No show can make you go from laughing your butt off to crying quite the way Scrubs can..haha
This is my ultimate "feel good show" and your reaction put me in a great mood. You should react to "Crazy Ex Girlfriend" they break out in song randomly and its very theatrical
as a scrubs fan, I just had so much fun watching your reaction :-)
I just came across your channel and subscribed great video. I actually have the music downloaded from this episode lol.
Btw if you can get two pint of larger where you are..I’m going to say Australia? It’s an old bbc show, their musical episode is amazing.
Bro, the show is great. You'd love the show and I think you'd love the real personalities of the actors who play Turk and J.D. They have a rewatch podcast. They just finished watching the 9th and final season of Scrubs for the first time and Zach (J.D.) always uses that psa The More You Know jingle quite often. It's no coincidence you used it in your reaction. It's obvious Scrubs humor is for you 🤙🏽
If you want to check out another musical number from Scrubs they did one in S2E13 My Philosophy.
The fact Judy Reyes was recovering from a broken hip when doing the tango
You clarified your rankings, and before I started watching the reaction I said, yep that means 10/10
I had completely forgotten about Pushing Daisies, which had a lot of singing and possibly a musical episode.
That bald man actually had his own band with that quartet. It was called The Blanks. Sadly the bald guy Sam Lloyd passed away in april 2020 from lung cancer I think it was.
I was waiting to see your reaction to guy love
The balding middles aged man had a quartet group that covered Guy Love from this episode. It’s really good if you like his/their singing here. They’re called The Blanks.
I actually went to college with Jeff Marx, one of the guy who wrote Everything comes down to Poo (and a lot of the music here) with Robert Lopez. The wrote Avenue Q - Which Stephanie D'Abruzzo (Patti) starred in on Broadway.
Scrubs season 2 episode 13 isn’t a musical episode until the end, but it is an absolutely devastating and beautiful song, “Waiting To Begin”.
You should definitely give Galavant a try. While the songs are more spread out many of them are without peer, and the storyline is very touching as well.
Also, if you’re looking for other shows to take a look at I think you’ll enjoy Psych the Musical as well!
Donald Faison (Turk) is also in Pitch Perfect, so he's done a little more singing on screen.
Everything Comes Down to Poo is definitely inspired by a combo of The Internet is Made For Por and Everyone's a Little Bit Racist... also fun fact the lady with the aneurism is Stephanie D'Abruzzo from Avenue Q
I've been watching a few doctors react to Scrubs when this vid popped up. It was fun!
the fortnight dance was created on scrubs by Donald Faison who plays turk on the spot he's got moves
The "close" song with all the medical terms... is accurate (according to another youtube doctor).
At the beginning of your vid, this is imo the best musical episode of any series.
I bought the soundtrack for this episode. I love it!
IDK if anyone has ever mentioned it but Donald Faison (Turk) was in the Fall out boys version of Beat it look for him at the 1:10 mark
The guy who plays Ted (the balding lawyer guy) unfortunately passed away from Cancer :( and Stephanie D’Bruzzio has been on Broadway (the patient) she played Kate Monster in Avenue Q
Please please PLEASE do a video on Psych musical episode, it's SO GOOD
Donald Faison who plays Turk improved a dance in an Air Band Episode of Scrubs that became the default Fornite Dance. Not even kidding...you can look it up! haha
Loved this episode. Great reaction.
If you're looking for another musical episode to react to, Psych had a pretty good one.
He does a fair amount of singing on the show, the bald doctor, Donald Faison.
Please check out the Turk and JD actors singing Baby It's Cold Outside.
Doctors, nurses, patients, *dead guys!*
Yes, welcome to the world of Scrubs, where you can have a daydream about ninja surgeons in one episode and then contemplate the concept of mortality in another.
Scrubs has honestly made me cry more than any other show on TV.
you should watch the episode (in 5th season) they create a group with turk, janitor, ted and loyd.
they sing very well
ps: i remembered that the episode is "my way home", my favourite
funny you mentioned buffy multiple times, as soon as i saw this video i instantly went to check to see if you reacted to the buffy video which obviously you did
Wait, hold on a second! Suddenly WHAT????
The janitor is a hoot.
You're reference to Donald Faison's(Turk) dancings skills, is not alone, at least one of the dance moves from Fortnite was based straight up on some of the dancing done during the run of Scrubs. And if that is not making the big time, I don't know what is. hahahah
That girl is Pooooisoooon 🎵
The You Have To Face The Future is basically Do You Hear The People Sing?
Could you react to the musical episode from Sanctuary? It’s season 4 episode 8.
randomly ran across this and now I must know if you've seen Hazbin Hotel
Since you enjoy music in tv and movies I assume,
This is just a suggestion, no worries if nothing appears!
The Motley Crue centered movie,
"The Dirt" 2019, obviously, has a lot of singing in it. But the men who played each member had prepared by hanging out with and getting some or most lessons from the bandmates! The movie made me fall in love with Crue.
There are some scenes in which the actors were really playing and singing, in particular the 'My kinda lover'- and the 'Shout at the Devil Live Show'- scenes are some examples I'm fairly certain of!
I don't know if anyone mentioned it before, but there is a musical episode to the show Oz (which is usually a serious violent prison show, including this episode).
The show usually has a narrator, Harold Perrineau, who was also one of the characters on the show, talking about the the main themes of each episode.
When filming this episode, he was busy filming The Matrix (or one of its sequels), so they changed it up to have the characters sing.
I think the episode is called "Variety", and also includes a variety show in the prison.
I haven't watched it in quite some time, it may be a violent episode (a lot of Oz episodes are...)
Also, Community's musical episode is epic, and of course, this Scrubs one :)
Does Broadway musical stalwart (and Zach Branff costar in Bullets Over Broadway) Karen Ziemba having a small part where she neither sings nor dances count as an Easter egg?
The janitor at 18:35 always gets me 🤣🤣
any chance you'll do the star trek musical episode?
Just found your channel, and subscribed almost right away. Would love your reaction to The Blues Brothers if not done already. FYI Ted (Balding Middle Age Man) is a professional singer listen to The Blanks
Fun fact that Bill the Creator can sing all of Les Mis
Have you never seen Josie and the Pussycats? Donald Faison was part of Du Jour
I think you may enjoy the episode where they are getting an "air band" together. Don Faison does an amazing job with Boston's, More than a Feeling.
I wonder if she ever watched “my ship” from scrubs.
Great reaction!!
It would be super cool if you did more scrubs.
