That make him that much more of a beast. (If it's true, no reason to doubt you but you know, skepticism while there's lack of evidence) the Janitor is one of my favorite characters from any show
How do you propose one sets future goals and develops as a person without wishes of what the future brings? A life without wishing is a life of static mediocrity.
Perspective is important. It’s good to have some fantasy, dreams, goals, and aspirations but we cannot become swallowed by it to the point we just sit around moping. That’s the mistake Eliot made she has the ability, the choice, and the freedom to change for the better but got so wrapped in self pity she lost sight of what was important and what was in her control to correct or change. She sat around just wishing and wallowing sad but took no steps to make those wishes come true or bothered to evaluate that if those wishes were really what she wanted or even needed.
+simone4447 a bit late but; yeah he was only meant to be in one episode, they liked him and the connection with Zach braff so much that they casted him as a permanent member
+simone4447 yes also originally he was meant to disappear at the end of season 1 and was supposed to be only in jds mind but then they decided to use him as jds nemesis
I think the janitor fucks with people in the ways that are best for them and help them grow thr most. He screws with jd who needs to learn to suck it the fuck up when life gets hard which is why his moments of lucidity come right after jd bares his teeth, he is kind to eliot when she has a bad time with her self esteme, helps her change her look, he shows kelso that hes not invincible and that he needs to change into a better person, he developes friendship with the socially recluse dr cox, he creates nonsensical rivalries with turk, hes the first person to treat ted as a an actual human being and later helps him get his girfriend and some individuality, hes the only person who can instill humility in carla, hes quite possibly one of the most effective characters in the entire series!
Ironically, Scrubs is the only medical show I can remember where the characters’ daily activities would NOT have resulted in an absolute hurricane of litigation.
the guy is a pure genius and improvises indeed, and that makes him perfectly natural. overall all actors and actresses are amazing in Scrubs obvioulsy (i love Kelsoooooooooo!!!!) but janitor is one of a kind! the one with the brother is hilarious
8:34. When my friend and I were rebuilding a bike, he took apart the back shifter and got working too fast without making a plan. This was him about 1 hour after he took it apart.
0:27 the janitor surprises JD by knowing about his first kiss ever. Jd had his first kiss with a girl name sarah briggs "at the embarrassing age" of 16. my first kiss was with a girl named sarah briggs too! but i was 17. :( lol
I know it’s been a decade and I’m sure you feel differently now. But I have to say, when you kids first is when you kids first. All the pressure to have sexual experiences at a young age is truly so much on teenagers. If you took your time be proud of it 😊
believe it or not scrubs is rated as being the most realistic medical show out there. most medical shows have unrealistic doctors and make it seem that completely crazy medical conditions happen every day aka "house". scrubs is realistic because it shows real medical stuff aka old peoplr conditions, your usual viral and bacterial conditions, and cancers and occasionally something unusual. thats more like a hospital as well as the doctors being more realistic.
prepareuranus his grandma raised him like he was her son, and told him his mom and dad were also her kids(one of which was obviously)...weird but not that fucked up
He actually told the story of Jack Nicholson. Nicholson was raised by his grandma, thinking she was his mother. Years later he discovered that the woman he held for his older sister was in truth his mother.
Drogan Stiegsson Wow... Despite how much I hate conservative cultures, sometimes I'm thankful for being born in one because of how rare things like this happen O_O
When the night stick joke gets set up, I KNOW Turk is going to ask "was he a cop?" and then Janitor was going to answer with something ridiculous. It was a clean setup that I knew was coming... And I still choked by laughing at the janitor's answer.
I read this fun theory that the Janitor owns the hospital and he does what he does because he’s incredibly bored. Highly unlikely bordering on impossible, yes. But it’s fun to think so.
ok so follow me on this. The Janitor's name is Neil Flynn. Yes I know it's the name of the actor himself, but the show confirms that the janitor and the actor Neil Flynn are one in the same. So Neil Flynn gave up his acting career and became a Janitor for sacred heart.
+MyNephewIsTough yes it is. he was a janitor(through scrubs) then as he got older (should have matured earlier) was matured and had a family (through the middle) I like the middle better
but it all doesn't really matter cuz all of this will pass away but the word of God will not pass away. the best thing to do is research the truth. and that truth is how Jesus Christ died on the cross so we can live after our life in the flesh is up. repent of all sins and pray to God. he is faithful to those who reach our to him. but he reaches out to all of you through people who truly believe. like me
If janitor would have improvised a sea world joke for the night stick(seal clubbing) with elliot having dated shawn(trainer at seaworld) woulda been a masterpiece
A little late but how good is “Holy sh-“ “shhhhhh”. Didn’t realize how close they got to swearing on network tv there, good job scrubs. Like that easily could have been a moment where the audience goes ah ya they can’t sweat but it felt totally natural.
I love the theory that the janitor is the owner of the hospital. he's just bored and wants to keep his real identity hidden.
@xxaleenazxx Kimble!
lol this is deff true
are you serious ????
HOLD ON A SEC
Is this true
Ohh shit that makes so much sense 😂😂😂😂
He improvised 90% of his lines. This man is an amazing actor.
seriously?
Seriously. Apparently the writers gave him the start of the scene and the end result and he filled in the rest himself.
They literally wrote "whatever Neil says" instead of writting his lines
That make him that much more of a beast. (If it's true, no reason to doubt you but you know, skepticism while there's lack of evidence) the Janitor is one of my favorite characters from any show
Karam J probably he wrote them himself and also improvised them
I like how The Best of the Janitor is just every single janitor scene. His whole role is to pop up, deliver a zinger, and fade back into the shadows.
Let's remember that a lot of the lines in his script said: "And then the janitor says something funny" and that was it...
"The janitor is funny, because quite frankly, he's insane."
“I made shoes for my rabbit.”
No, he’s a pirate.
Neil's an amazing actor. His subtle facial expressions and tone changes are really damn good
cant agree more went a season or 2 of watching the middle before it dawned on me that it was him
Despite his crazy background with who raises him, Janitor's advice on 'time spent wishing is time wasted' is some pretty solid advice.
How do you propose one sets future goals and develops as a person without wishes of what the future brings?
A life without wishing is a life of static mediocrity.
there he is
Perspective is important. It’s good to have some fantasy, dreams, goals, and aspirations but we cannot become swallowed by it to the point we just sit around moping.

If he was telling the truth about his family, which I suspect he wasn't.
It's funny, Janitor wasn't even supposed to be a regular character.
really?!!
+simone4447 a bit late but; yeah he was only meant to be in one episode, they liked him and the connection with Zach braff so much that they casted him as a permanent member
Great move.
+simone4447 yes also originally he was meant to disappear at the end of season 1 and was supposed to be only in jds mind but then they decided to use him as jds nemesis
Daniel Hill after he left the show i was done. season 8 was horrible
Probably my top two here are "I your father." and "Fork! Me can't eat soup! Mmmrrrrr!"
I'm*
Carla: i thought you were trying to kill me.
Janitor: i fought the urge.
"Thought you were trying to kill me"
Janitor- "i fought the urge." Lmfao
10:20
The height difference is enormous!
Neil Flynn clocks in at 6'5", Judy Reyes at 5'4"
Legitimately never considered their heights before.
Bit with the fork and soup will forever crease me 😂😂
the part with the fugitive was seriously one of the best moments of the show. it made the janitor a real real person
'The Fugitive' part is one of the best scenes on this show.
God I miss this show.
I think the janitor fucks with people in the ways that are best for them and help them grow thr most. He screws with jd who needs to learn to suck it the fuck up when life gets hard which is why his moments of lucidity come right after jd bares his teeth, he is kind to eliot when she has a bad time with her self esteme, helps her change her look, he shows kelso that hes not invincible and that he needs to change into a better person, he developes friendship with the socially recluse dr cox, he creates nonsensical rivalries with turk, hes the first person to treat ted as a an actual human being and later helps him get his girfriend and some individuality, hes the only person who can instill humility in carla, hes quite possibly one of the most effective characters in the entire series!
This comment 😩👌

Except for The Todd, he was a walking sexual harassment lawsuit just waiting to be served.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 Fair enough.

5:38 I just love how Kelso doesn't give a crap :D
Giradox He was sleeping
Ever tried hunting squirrels?
No?
All you need is some walnuts and a boxing glove
That hug with Carla is cute, touching and scary all at the same time.
Then it turns out he actually was a world class hurdler.
I’M CAUGHT ON HIS COLLAAAAAAAAAAaaaaarrr!!
8:34. When my friend and I were rebuilding a bike, he took apart the back shifter and got working too fast without making a plan. This was him about 1 hour after he took it apart.
Probably my favourite character, of my favourite show. The office being a close second.
0:27 the janitor surprises JD by knowing about his first kiss ever. Jd had his first kiss with a girl name sarah briggs "at the embarrassing age" of 16. my first kiss was with a girl named sarah briggs too! but i was 17. :( lol
Well, i would say, your we're the next guy after JD...😂
And Sarah Briggs likes to kiss...🤔😏
I know it’s been a decade and I’m sure you feel differently now. But I have to say, when you kids first is when you kids first. All the pressure to have sexual experiences at a young age is truly so much on teenagers. If you took your time be proud of it 😊
Still the best medical show out there. All the others are clichè bags of garbage with no heart.

Cortster Grey's anatomy is fantastic in my opinion
kewl kids Grey's Anatomy has no personality. It's, fittingly, pretty grey.
House md
The Good Doctor is a good show
“This is a really windy hospital.”
“Im sorry. I was drying...urine.”
The most powerful sith lord
Best character ever created.
Dr Jan Itor!
The janitor branch, never forget
04:21, the only time JD said something that really got to the Janitor. Probably the best moment between the two.
This... should not have been removed.
"And my sister... Who actually was my mother..."
What kind of fucked up household was he born into? XD
prepareuranus his grandma raised him like he was her son, and told him his mom and dad were also her kids(one of which was obviously)...weird but not that fucked up
He actually told the story of Jack Nicholson. Nicholson was raised by his grandma, thinking she was his mother. Years later he discovered that the woman he held for his older sister was in truth his mother.
Drogan Stiegsson Wow...
Despite how much I hate conservative cultures, sometimes I'm thankful for being born in one because of how rare things like this happen O_O
Ted Bundy
+Brian Banegas lol exactly
The Janitor is kind of hot in a bizarre way
He's tall, masculine, and handsome in a DILF kind of way...nothing bizarre about it.
He was an incredible actor.
0:27 You can tell this was back when he was going to be a figment of JD’s imagination.
haha lol this made my morning, i'm going to go and have a good day at work now lol
NOT NOW TURK I'M GLOW BASKING!
low-key wondering how the Janitor knew about Sara Briggs
He was breaking into JDs locker and reading his journal. hehe
When the night stick joke gets set up, I KNOW Turk is going to ask "was he a cop?" and then Janitor was going to answer with something ridiculous. It was a clean setup that I knew was coming... And I still choked by laughing at the janitor's answer.

My favourite line. I dont know why you keep doing these things to me...I dont know either🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

good job mixing the sound
He was my favourite character
9:45 Carla channeling her inner Hooch
Is that Mike Heck from The Middle?
No Mike Heck is actually the Janitor from Scrubs lol
+MyNephewIsTough yes it is. he was a janitor(through scrubs) then as he got older (should have matured earlier) was matured and had a family (through the middle) I like the middle better
+MyNephewIsTough He was also Cady's dad in Mean Girls

I heard the original plan was the janitor was all in JD’s head, I wish that did end of happening
We would've missed out on too many great moments
Offspring of a brother-sister relationship
First kiss at the embarrassing age of 16? That's when I had my first kiss, LOL!

1:42
Well, well, well. How the turntables.
the Janitor is the best character!
Chicken Little and the Plumber from Ratchet and Clank!
5:36 loooool
Cat trainer :D
How could you leave out the bit where he says he knows muh night shamalan!?
You know I read once that the Janitor was suppose to be just a figment of JD's imagination because he had a brain tumor.
0:27 Nardwuar in every interview be like

It's almost like people have different senses of humour and can like different things. GASP!
+7thlittleleopard
Are you saying that we are all different, and that we have our own opinions? This is madness!
Anyone else hate the janitor?
+Test Channel No. Only you.
Jack Finan Ask an open question and you know an idiot will reply rudely.
+Test Channel He's right though, the janitor is awesome.
Didgeridoo No need to reply then.
Plenty of reason to reply! And nope. Love him.
Wow, I can't believe people thought this was funny. It's like, written for 8 year olds.
Confused Canuck Good thing I'm 14 then
Whats the matter? Got a stick up your fuckin ass? Learn to smile.
He came up with pretry much all of this on the spot. It’s funny to a lot of us! Chill out
lol you haven’t ever actually watched scrubs have you?
