A lot of the janitors lines are made up on the spot or either they give very basic lines and expected him to twist them. That's why the janitor became a long term character after season 1
On Zack and Donald's rewatch podcast, they had Bill Lawrence on and he said the entire duck story was totally improvised by Neil. Increbile. Bill told Neil to tell a story about getting a present for Lady but he could make up the details, so he comes up with "I beat a duck to death on the side of the road" lmfao
The guy that plays the janitor is extremely hilarious I watched some bloopers and a lot of the stuff he did was just improve on the spot love the duck story !!
So according to the actor he admitted he is a bit lazy and since his part was so small during season 1 he just improv what he didn't remember. Producers loved it and would instead give him a general guide to where he should end his adlib except for certain scenes where he needed to say specific lines. During the table read for season 8 the actor that played Ted laughed hard cause his direction for that scene literally read "just react to whatever Neil does".
it's even more amazing when you know that almost all the Janitors lines are just him making it up on the spot. it's a wonder they have any complete shots where someone isn't dying laughing in the background.
Modified it myself. There for it’s Jum aka Jim beam, rum and tonic. It’s strictly a brunch liquor. Or any real time of day night drink when you need to pontiffidrink lol
I think Janitor actually doesn’t mind JD that much. I do wonder what it would’ve been like if they were outwardly friendly instead of the pranks the Janitor does to JD. I bet it would’ve been just as good. I’ll tell ya, that ending to the episode where Janitor supposedly had a twin, with JD and Janitor walking to the exit, I genuinely enjoyed it. Especially that little pat on the back JD gave the Janitor. I think they, deep down, don’t mind each other but with what they’ve got going on with other things, (Janitor tormenting JD and JD helping patients and other issues) it seems they don’t actually bring out their kindness towards each other, so you have little moments where they pay each other on the back.
0:12 With his head down, I thought he looked like Ed Helms. But when I saw Ted’s face, my whole world went 180 degrees. Like, I thought his head was much smaller than that.
GUM LEGS!!!! Gin starts with a g!!!! it's gum n tonic! Although my favorite drink is gumka... gin, rum and vodka. Not so tasty but gets the job done!!!!!!!
@IcEye89 if we spelt "Know" "now" you'de get confused on which it was you're saying for example if we dropped the k in know it would be "Sorry IcEye i really need to now." Now is already a word. Gum is already a word. Gin rum and tonic sounds like Jum, so its easier to have a clear spelling of Jum Then Gem because Gum is a word.
@xFierceDeityLinkx That's all fine, but it doesn't work that way. Either you spell all words like they are pronounced - making "now" something completely different then "know" - or you spell them like they ought to be spelled - in this case, gum. Spelling things like they are pronounced is a bad idea, because different people with different accents pronounce words differently, therefore they would spell them differently, which is bad for communication. Rewboss has a nice video about this topic.
@xFierceDeityLinkx If spelling was about how something is pronounced, why don't we drop the K in Know? It is perfectly clear, that it has to be pronounced Jum, but that has very little to do with spelling.
Osmosis Jones yes Gin is pronounced Jin but still spelled Gin with a G, Gum is pronounced Jum but still spelled Gum. The G in Gum is for the G in Gin. The U and M is for the U and M in Rum. Gum not Jum.
@@kingwacky184 I say it's better as Jum just because it's less confusing. It would be difficult for people not to think of chewing gum if it was spelt Gum, probably. It would be different if the drink was a well-known alternative, but the word should look more ambiguous when first reading the title. You make some good points though.
Had to look this scene up after listening to Zach & Donald's podcast. The Janitor's entire duck story was made up on the spot.
Where can I watch the podcast?
@@Umi_Pumi it's on Apple music and spotify

Makanouchi Ippo I don’t think they record the video, just audio. Hopefully that will change.
Where do you think I got here from? XD
RIP Sam

great podcast :)
That happened more times than you'd think. They'd give Neil a set up like, "In this scene Janitor pisses off Carla... go do it."
Well the janitor is funny because quite franky he's insane
@@theodorzdravevski9202 He made shoes for his rabbit.
Most of his lines were completely improvised
Ted owns this scene with literally every line/action! Love him!
Gonna miss you Ted! 😭 R.I.P Sam Lloyd
"I'm really not comfortable murdering for her."
RIP Sam, you were fucking amazing. Rest easy and thank you for the laughs
I love JD and the Janitor's interactions here. XD
"Truce on, truce on! It's my latte! D: And it's scalding hot."
"Ench, yeah it is, ahh."
The guy that plays the janitor is extremely hilarious I watched some bloopers and a lot of the stuff he did was just improve on the spot love the duck story !!
I wonder how much of the Janitor was adlibbed.
Kai Creech ALL, all of it!
He wasn't even on payroll, they just filmed scenes around him as he wandered on set every day.
Quite a lot actually

@@Sephiroth32vergil he was only ment be in S1 as a part of JDs mind (in S1 JD is the only to talk to him) but people loved him so much he became real
R.I.P Sam Lloyd absolute amazing actor dont think I can watch scrubs anymore
“You don’t get drunk on Jum. It’s a breakfast liqueur.”
.........
“Those are Jum legs.”
RiP Sam Lloyd :(
Wow man dude even died after the birth of his child. That's just sad. RIP.
He's happy now.
The duck story is funny in itself, but the ”yup, those are jum legs” is the cherry on top
Omg, i listened to the podcast last week, and this scene just showed up in my recomended.
WHY SHOULD THEY BE HAPPY. Oh, Ted... WHY YO SO FUNKY
it's even more amazing when you know that almost all the Janitors lines are just him making it up on the spot. it's a wonder they have any complete shots where someone isn't dying laughing in the background.

Everything can be a "whole day" liquor if you're brave enough
Breakfast liqueur
I don't wanna talk about this anymore!! lmao
I mean, just picturing her beautiful eyes and cute smil- *HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!*
RIP Sam Lloyd
Rest in peace
People! Jum is awesome! try it now!(not as a breakfast liquor but still :D)
But it's 9.55am and you said try it now! I don't know what to do...
@@RealityCheck6T9 It's always 5 pm somewhere
A meme was born.
in the car on the way over........we kinda got into it
The way he falls is class, lol.
Loved Ted.
“Neil say something funny”
Plot Twist: JD & Janitor are best friends and Turk is he's nemesis......
.....

RIP Sam. :(
I miss Ted (Sam Lloyd). May you sing and rock with the heavenly allstars band (Tina Turner and Sinead O Connor joined them too)
Why should they be happy!!!
It is a breakfast liqueur, yup those are jum legs...came for those lines...just pure love..
So I've had Gum & Tonic and it's actually not too bad.
0:12 With his head down, I thought he looked like Ed Helms. But when I saw Ted’s face, my whole world went 180 degrees. Like, I thought his head was much smaller than that.
@BrianDurex lol, agreed. and chimera's got it right. best line of the clip
1 person got jum legs
Hooch went away with gooch
RiP king
Press 1 for "WHY SHOULD THEY BE HAPPY?!"
What a perfect comedic scene 😂😂😂😂😂
Tbh I've made jum before. I got through one cup and passed out 🤣 though I added whiskey instead of tonic 🤣🤣 I went baller style
I thought he said "Jim, Rum and Tonic" ...with the Jim being Jim Beam?
@@hulkslayer626it’s gin
A breakfast liqueur, lol
Neil doesn't get a full script, or even one at all. He improvises most of his lines, and the rest of the crew works around it.
GUM LEGS!!!! Gin starts with a g!!!! it's gum n tonic! Although my favorite drink is gumka... gin, rum and vodka. Not so tasty but gets the job done!!!!!!!
Isn't that halfway to a Long Island?
at that point you might as well drink either of the three straight.
I had Jum yesterday and it tastes really horrible, but surprisingly I was able to walk afterwards!
Its a breakfast liqour
He reminds me of when Jaba the Hut died.
Jum.
Lol!
It's a breakfast liqueeaaaa :D :D :D
Awh, poor Ted.
yeh but then it would be gum.. like gums.. like where ur teeth live..
Say the word 'Gigantic' see what i mean?
Why should they be happy?
It is GUM everyone not JUM. GENE, GEM, GENIUS. Many words with a J sound start with a G. It is GUM.
Jum? Gin and Rum would be Gum wouldn't it?
Are the Janitors lines completely improvised? Who comes up with a story like that?

@IcEye89 gin is pronounced like it has a J, And gum sounds like Gum like chewing gum, So jin rum and tonic, Jum and tonic.
Why would you spell it Jum?
It is Gin, Rum and Tonic so that should be Gum.
different pronunciation.
@@idealicfool No it does not have to be, think of the word GENE. That has a J sound to it. GEM has a J sound. It is GUM.
@@kingwacky184 Gin is pronounced as Jin. It's Jum.
Osmosis Jones yes Gin is pronounced Jin but still spelled Gin with a G, Gum is pronounced Jum but still spelled Gum. The G in Gum is for the G in Gin. The U and M is for the U and M in Rum. Gum not Jum.

The last three seasons had a decline in comedy.
Sad isn't it?
