Funny thing is, in a later episode, Kelso says genuinely that he spends every other weekend at medical conferences because he has to keep up with new treatments. Pretty likely that he really was going to a “medical boondoggle” and the whole golf trip in Hawaii story was just a lie to screw with Perry (and keep up his image as a villain).
Yeah or the episode were he dumped the poor guy from the study in favor of the rich guy only to reveal in the end that he used the money to finance a medical care bus for underprivileged pregnant woman. Or the last seasons when Cox is in his position and has to make the hard decisions to keep the hospital running, like firing the kitchen boy everybody liked. J.D summed it up pretty good. In the end i wouldn't wanna make any of the decisions he makes.
I think most of you miss the point why Cox and Kelso pretend to be assholes. It's because their jobs depend on it, they have new doctors coming in all the time who are scared and if they see these two break, the hospital will fall apart. Plus another reason is that they experience enough death to see things as numbers instead of people, natural part of the job. Plus lets be honest, they both love doing it and it's part of who they are. I think the pressure of their power and being around death just eases it.
The unfortunate part is that the whole evil chief thing is actually kind of an act because Kelso realizes that the hospital needs a common enemy to function properly
not to mention Season 6 episode 13, where he knows some "secret" about how the doctors lie and scam health-insurance companies, so that they can take care of those who don't have health insurance or the Golf Episode: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FGEdmFvyHIU.html
@@freppie_ the reality is most doctors are liberals who struggle to keep thing together to heal people. there only human after all, not monsters. dehumanization is how you get to death camps.
"You think it's funny that one of the surgeons paid $200 for his dwarf cousin to show up at rounds and sing 'Ding Dong, Kelso's Dead'?" No. I think it's freaking hilarious!
@@lolipedofin BAGEL That's my favourite episode of Brooklyn 99 the insults are fecking brilliant. Especially Rosa's. "Judging by the flames it could be a live stream " . It took me a while to cop what she meant but when I did it was genius
Kenneth Cruz Are you saying I was trolling? Because I wasn't. Cox says at some point how amusing he finds it that Lavern believes in God. I was both referencing that and my own mirth at that belief.
Kelso's delivery on "I fall asleep. I mean, like a LOG, brother!" is wonderful. And the reaction of Johnny C is priceless - he is barely holding it together.
Ken Jenkins is the funniest actor on the show (and the show has lots of funny actors!) His delivery of everything is fantastic, whether comedic or dramatic.
Worst part? A few seasons later, we find out Kelso has a real soft spot and is nowhere near as evil as anyone thinks he is. He pays for a kid's father's hospital bill and he himself mopes over letting patients die.
He also admitted in another episode that he knew the staff was letting in patients who had no insurance and money. He just turned a blind eye to it because he was holding that act.
Kelso is one of my favorite characters because of the complex layers they gave him. Anyone who's been in charge of managing a department understands that the group needs someone to focus their ire on when budget cuts or director level decisions cause stress, frustration, and anger. If you're a good manager, you let yourself be the villain they need in those moments, even if you're just as angry about the situation as they are. People will give up if they have to keep coming in, day after day, and deal with the full horror of the level to which no one in the organization is actually in control of anything that's happening to all of them.
The end there, where Cox so calmly yet acidicly lays into Kelso, is what makes his character so great, so believable (despite being in a comedy show), so....like Kelso and yet so NOT.
That is the very first interaction between the Janitor and anyone else but JD, since before this moment, the intention was for Janitor to be in JD's head. Which also explains the "Who are you?" line, which is a subtle joke for fans because in most sitcoms (at least of that era, before plots got more complicated in comedies) the main cast wouldn't usually be having their very first interaction in the second season.
''Well, that, and a little medical boondoggle I have to go to in Cleveland. And by "medical boondoggle" I mean "golf weekend." And by "Cleveland" I mean "Hawaii." Anyway, I have to go catch my bus to the airport. And by "bus" I mean "helicopter." Bob Kelso is such an asshole hahaha
Good thing Trump isnt president yet, just a rich guy. *Post election edit Me: God damn I envy the americans having a president who knows both, business AND style.
Didn't Obama grow up in Hawaii? And doesn't he take helicopter trips? I mean, Trump is more of an NY kind of guy, while on the other hand I would see Obama going back to his birthplace.
The difference is that Trump can do it with his own money, Obama did it with ours. You do realize that Trump declined an Air Force 1 renovation because it costed too much. He isn't as wasteful as people make him out to be, which is one of the reasons he became so wealthy.
DamaOscuraDeTodos - You have proof to back that up, or are you just saying that because the news tells you to be outraged? I swear, I've never seen so many people so utterly mind controlled in my life. You do realize that Trump declined to even have a Presidental salary as well? You realize that the stock market is booming because of Trumps legislation? You realize that jobs are coming back to the US because of Trump? Anyway, I don't expect a rational response from you. So just go about your life hating Trump, because the establishment tells you to. Ask yourself, why is it that so many rich liberal elites (Hollywood, News Media, etc.) hate Trump? Anyone that rich liberals can't stand, is cool with me (an enemy of my enemy is my friend). Malcolm X knew what was up with white liberals in the 60's. He tried to warn us then about the liberal agenda, but people still aren't listening. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0Jfp0_vIn2U.html
Kelso started the show as a comically evil character, just there to be a villain. By the end of it he was one of the most likable characters on the show. Only show I've seen where that happens
In "The Office", Michael Scott is introduced as a mean-spirited person, but the producers quickly made him into a likeable dufus. That only took a few episodes, not the whole run of the show, though.
@@TheDunestrider There’s a story to that one - The Office almost got canceled partway through S1, and part of it was how unlikeable Michael was. They changed the character because it was tanking the show
@@brandywinebridget Part of it was because they were taking from the original british show, which was much shorter, and Michael was more clearly the tragic villain. (Set him up series 1, show him fall Series 2)
@@brandywinebridget It was definitely the right decision, because Steve Carell and Ricky Gervais have a very different comedic skill set. Michael Schur made a similar mistake by trying to make Leslie Knope a female Michael Scott. When he decided to not try to follow a template when he did _Brooklyn Nine-Nine_ and _The Good Place,_ each show hit the ground running.
@@pditties He was originally just going to be in JD's head so no one ever interacted with him in the first season. So it's probably kind of a joke based on the fact he never interacted with anyone else.
This "Kelso is Dead" subplot was, in fact, the best part of the enitre "My Kingdom" episode. I wish they'd focused more attention on it, don't you? More of the staff's reactions. And yes, you're all right. Ted's reaction was, by far, the best.
What is season 9? There were only 8 seasons of Scrubs. If there were a 9th season, I bet it would've been the worst thing imaginable with a loser named Dave Franco or something like that, who my family hates. But none of that happened because there is no season 9.
It's revealed in Season 7 that Kelso lied about his age for most of the series because he knew that if they knew how old he really was, he'd be forced to retire.
MasterFrederik oh my god I didn’t realise he died I had to look it up for those who know, he died in April this year such a talented guy he was only 56. RIP Sam Lloyd 1963-2020
When they made the last season, they pretty much changed the entire show with it, new main character, new plot, med school instead of actual hospital. And it flopped.
Kelso does slowly start to turn a corner after this, and becomes more of a good guy. He still plays the common enemy when needed, but makes an effort to be nicer towards the end of the series. I think Kelso and Cox were good for each other in the end.
He needs to be. He is giving everyone in the hospital a target. He unites everyone by making them all hate him and banding together. Explained in the episode where the soldier with a head injury gets hospitalised.
For all of the crooked ways Kelso works the system, he also genuinely cared about making the hospital fiscally solvent and understood that someone had to be the bad guy. He was a guy with a shitty job that let that shitty job turn him into kind of a shitty guy.
In the show the two hated each other but I think they were really two ego strong professionals at loggerheads with each other because one relied on how a hospital is a business and the other relied on how people should be treated and cared for. It was 'Sacred Hearts' sickness; tragedies and deaths that probably made the two of them angry cynics but yet they had a job to do.
Only thing is he should've said, "I'm afraid Dr. Kelso has left us" which would've been *technically* true... he did, after all, leave for --Hawaii-- 'Chicago'.
This show was gold I mean seriously it was a classic that will go down in the history of television. I honestly don't know why someone hasn't worked on a reboot with a new era of interns and the original cast are now the grizzled doctors to train them. Cox could be the chief of medicine now just ignore the whole Hawaiian thing they did or relocate them back mainland to another hospital similar to sacred heart.
Please don't. The original is great as it is. A reboot would be filled with woke politics and yet another franchise destroyed to cater to the "modern audience" .. Despite the fact said modern audience will never watch these kind of shows regardless.
0:44 I think cox feels more envy than righteous indignation, if you cared morally, you would ultimately be resigned recognizing this injustice is an aspect of the system, to continue to stew on the matter feels like it is more personal, and becuase he's more angry than haunted by him, its probably envy
Kelso constantly cuts the budget for necessary things just so he can buy himself fancy things like cars, helicopter rides, and vacations to Hawaii. No wonder the hospital can never afford anything it really needs.
Ted laughing, lauhging, then passing out was just the typical finesse of Scrubs.. you always had the main line joke, and punchline, but it always got finished right
If they could get the desk into the office, why can't they get it out? And Dr. Cox doesn't know who the janitor is? Even when he is wearing a janitor outift?
Well, maybe the desk was put together while it was inside the office, and the moving guys were too lazy to bother taking the sucker apart. And maybe Cox was asking the Janitor name wise rather than profession wise.
Yeah the thing is, desks that large are often times put together within the room its stationed in. However, its usually put together in a way where its very sturdy and pretty much becomes a huge chore to take apart. My dad had a desk like that. It was a literal all day choir to take apart when we were moving.
