there are plenty, you just don't notice because they aren't quite as "explicit" (obvious sounds negative) in trying to prove this point. I think this mostly a generational thing. Classic gender roles have been eroded as the younger generation enters the entertainment sphere. Zach Braff grew up in a time where you constantly had to reassure your masculinity to others to prove you weren't gay, but it was already far better by the time I went through elementary/middle/high school, and I'm only 23. I can only expect this will continue.
The other one I can think of is Chuck on, well, Chuck. He fits that pretty well. Jake and Charles from B99 also fits that although the fan base really wants Jake to be Bi. Maybe also Dipper in Gravity Falls or Aang or plenty other animated protagonists really.
I LOVE JD. He was my first crush. I love feminine guys. I don’t care about sports either. I’m glad Zach Braff showed the world there is more than one way to be a man.
I always felt that same way. Straight but don't like beer or group sports. Goofy and Into the arts and i hug my best friend like he's my Turk. And my name...''JD''. I don't feel the whole alpha competition either. I really don't care. Such an appletini guy...
I understand Zach sooo much. I’m just the way he explains. Straight but very open still. Feminine is a little strong, but yeah, what he said, that is me. Love the explanation.
I had this revelation on a shroom trip about why I loved JD so much... Because he could just embrace who he was.. But this is just explaining it all so deeply.
Men like this make the best husbands and loving, involved fathers, :) I know because I am married to one. He is more of a logical thinker than into art, but really connected with "JD". We would watch Scrubs together after work when we were newlyweds. Good times. #appletini
All kinds of men may make the best husbands. ''Traditionally masculine'' (using that tearm broadly) also can and do make great husbands. You're also forgetting that JD was really creepy and selfish with women for a long time (I love his character but still)
Zach, I'm with ya. I'm a bartender and have only ever cared about sports when I was a child. Guys walk up to my bar and instantly assume I know about sports and I shoot that shit down right away.
Loved his candor (bonus b/c because we’re both Jersey guys), and also made me realize my luck in high school. My friend dubbed me “multi-clique-ular” because I was a band nerd (trumpet), a burnout (drummer in a heavy metal band), jock (baseball and hoops up to Sophomore year), stage geek (lead in the drama) and overall nerd (grades were good). This isn’t meant as braggadocio, it’s more that I realized most of these labels were just that - labels. I got along with everyone and no one in those granular groups ever gave me sh&t for being involved in the others (except for gentle ribbing, which is how guys bond anyway - you need to be able to take the joke as much as give it). I use those lessons to this day as a 50+ year old corporate manager who realizes everyone’s story and experience informs their approach to work. Ask enough questions and respect the answers, and you’ll connect and get somewhere. Too deep, I know, but what the hell.
It still sounds as braggadocio though because not everyone is so lucky to escape bullying in school.You realize that most labels are put on us by others? Many kids in schools absolutely think within narrow categories, your story is more of an exception. Concerning the second part of your comment... Well, most decent adults understand that, it's not ''too deep'' at all. It's obvious and basic truth of life.
Interesting. Having recently rewatched through the entirety of Scrubs for the first time in about a decade I would guess, based on both the textual and subtextual level, that JD and Turk were bisexual. That definitely seems to be the implication even though neither character comes to that realization. But this may be a matter of showrunner/writer decisions versus actors choices.
I have absolutely no idea what he just said. Act this way, not this way? I"m not a part of the group because I'm straight? Had he been a jock, he wouldn't have felt like an outsider? I think I know what he was trying to say, but feeling like an outsider happens if you're in or out of a group.

One of the best, well written characters in all of TV. He never felt like a character on a show. JD was a real person just trying to make it in life.
You can hug a man and not do the back clap.
Oh shit, true dat. :(
"You can hug a man and not do the back-tap" Yes! Thank you Zach :)
Media today needs more characters like him - man that is not primitive alpha, but also is not gay.

There are, Phil dunphy as such.
Yeah! That’s why when people say jake peralta from b99 is bi, I’m like yeah maybe but he could just be a straight guy who’s not an alpha male

Simp?

Scrubs was a great show. All the characters and actors were so great.
I miss Scrubs
Me too.
Me too.
same
Da Boss Nur der SCF haha vermisse scrubs
Miss dearly... :'
I really like that whole explanation. I know a lot of people like that, and it is a stereotype we're finally breaking down.
This is actually deep
jd is a hero and scrubs is a legendary show
I want an hug from Braff.
I always felt that same way. Straight but don't like beer or group sports. Goofy and Into the arts and i hug my best friend like he's my Turk. And my name...''JD''. I don't feel the whole alpha competition either. I really don't care. Such an appletini guy...

Yeah, just like thousands other men like you.
I frikkin love Zach Braff x)
Best interviewer ever
I had this revelation on a shroom trip about why I loved JD so much... Because he could just embrace who he was.. But this is just explaining it all so deeply.
gotta love him 💙
I wish I could spend one day with him and listen to his life stories!
Love J.D. EAGGGGLLLEEEEEEEE!!
This talk almost makes me regret my passion for football...
You're great Zach
He is a sensi in real life too xD
Well said. Underrated comment.
Scrubs changed my life and thought me to be okay with being like JD.
God damit. What the hell. He’s so amazing.
this speaks to me so much.
I love him so much!
I love every word said here
get this man an appletini. easy on the tini.
Take notes guys, such an intelligent dude!
He says pretty obvious things that are now a common knowledge
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 Yeah, you'd think!

Guy love is a game changer
I miss JD.
He is so so so sweet ❤️🍬🍪🍩🍫
I like his dad look, FeelsDankMan :D
I think they call this a sigma male.
He hit the nail on the head with this. I always thought JD was the gayest straight guy ever
Damn I didn't expect to be hit by this when I clicked on it. Unknowingly a very important influence on my life. Thanks Zach.
Some short video from a person you don't even know saying obvious things which are common knowledge now is an important ''influence'' to you?
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 your comment added nothing and was unimportant.
Aahh I miss that show
Straight Soft. We can just call it Straight Soft.
I'd love to have a conversation Zach
what an Idol!
I soooooooooo relate to that

This guy had one big role and now he's a big star. How about that stupid t-mobile commercial Zach?
jeez this got me hard in the feels
EEEEAAAAGLLLLLLE!
I love Zach Braff but why the hell is this in black and white lol.
I've been seriously wondering that about all these interviews. I think it's just like "interview serious grayscale serious"
Interesting. Having recently rewatched through the entirety of Scrubs for the first time in about a decade I would guess, based on both the textual and subtextual level, that JD and Turk were bisexual. That definitely seems to be the implication even though neither character comes to that realization. But this may be a matter of showrunner/writer decisions versus actors choices.
It’s all for comedy, the bromance. I don’t think they were every implying they were bisexual. Couldn’t respectfully disagree more
These day. You power-punch dinosaur and youre a gay
Did JD ever hit a kid on Punk’d cause of something shallow like a car?
What a pretentious comment
@@aboutkimmy what a pretentious fan of a literally horrible man
still like him
why is it called offcamera when they are clearly on camera
Hooch really is crazy.
bro gives himself too much credit
what??
he claims he's not gay, but those boots scream otherwise. zing!
Johnathan Landron Zwaw!!!

Boing flip
i came
I have absolutely no idea what he just said. Act this way, not this way? I"m not a part of the group because I'm straight? Had he been a jock, he wouldn't have felt like an outsider? I think I know what he was trying to say, but feeling like an outsider happens if you're in or out of a group.
Teddy L Boulden that's true, but what he was talking about is absolutely true as well
lmfao "I was always so popular and knew what I wanted to do my whole life" for celebrities translates to being an outsider.
