I love that so many people have found their way to this clip, and the discussions about the scene itself and Scrubs in general. It warms my heart to see the passion is still burning for this amazing, timeless show that it is. Thank you for keeping it current at all times. I'd like to recommend people watching this scene from season 3 which is a scene that speaks to me, and probably many others, on a very personal level. I'd argue this scene contains one of the most important topics Scrubs covered, and that's why I think it's one of my absolute favorite scenes in the entire series. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/x8gOAReNr8g/v-deo.html
I agree. As blunt as she was in the beginning, I still felt that she was trying in her own way, but she just didn't know how to relate to others - and this scene proved my theory in the perfect way.
"I'm not really.... getting that simile, Jo." Beautifully delivered line - JD has had enough of being called a girl from Cox, he can't allow himself to acknowledge it from anyone else.
Yeah, it's cool to see. I also like that they didn't go the cliched route of him becoming a new Perry (as much as I love Cox). JD's his own person with a very different style of teaching medicine.
I love the evolution the series went through. How Cox becomes chief of medicine, Turk Chief of surgery, Carla head nurse, and JD becomes a skilled experienced leader that now teaches the others. There was so little left for them to explore and continue improving.
I agree. Had Season 9 been an ensemble show, with these guys, and no new lead who we didn't know, I think it would have worked for a few more seasons, before ending naturally.
Every time I watch this scene, I think the same thing. Jo hates dealing with patients, and she is fascinated by 'the nuts and bolts of it all.' Why didn't she go into surgery?
Probably because surgeons are there to fix a problem. Not to find it. Maybe she wants to examine a patient and figure out what is making them go haywire. She wants to identify the source of the problem and learn about the various ways in which a human body can fail, but once she's found that the patient is no longer interesting to her. In order for a patient to go to surgery, a doctor has to figure exactly what is wrong with them so they know what kind of surgery is required.
I loved this moment. JD teaching someone without turning into Cox Jr. Plus this is like a real heart to heart without either of them turning it into a joke.
I think one of the highs of the show is watching flawed people talk shit out and process their baggage all the time. The times you get to do that in real life is rare and special
David Gill errrr sexy photo shoots seen on google searches and my still active imagination, sorry to disappoint. Lemme know if you find anything better haha
That is one of my favorite moments seeing JD as a mentor and teacher of a young doctor. He was patient, insightful and supportive... and it was wonderful to see the kind of mature leader and coach he could become....
Season 9 really should have focused on these interns, Sunny, Denise, Katie, Derek, Howie and even Ed all have definable personalities, flaws, strengths and arcs to build towards. The cast we actually got in Season 9 was far, far weaker.
Cole was still one of my favourite characters in the whole series. I think the reason most people dislike season 9 is because of how perfectly season 8 ended, not because of the actual quality of season 9, which imo is still above the majority of non-Scrubs sitcoms.
The problem is Season 9 should have been labeled as the spin-off it was supposed to be, and so it should be Season 1. It might have given the show a more fair chance with audiences. The other big issue is probably the reason why Seasons 8 and 9 of the X-Files probably didn't do so well (I've been watching/thinking about this recently so that's I brought up this wildly different show): they didn't have enough faith in the new cast. They kept trying to squeeze in the past to satiate viewers when all it did was make viewers remember why "change is bad" when it doesn't have to be. Scrubs: Med School kept bringing in JD and other special guest characters to tick off character boxes. (X-Files wouldn't let Mulder go even when he left the show; they were always bringing him up in conversations or for plot reasons). It's like the writers and producers weren't confident in their own new direction that they needed validation from the past, but it ended up kicking them in the butt. And I think that's the biggest reason why the newer Scrubs was "alright" at best. (Bloody love those two X-Files seasons, however.)
JD found the opposite of himself with Denise. When we met JD in Season 1, he was this overeager med school grad who came to Sacred Heart the same way most of us entered school the very first day. As time went forward, so did his understanding of the ups and downs of medicine and his own life. He unintentionally made enemies and learned who his mentor was after seeing the true sides of Dr. Cox and Kelso. He still maintained some childlike qualities, but he grew up along the way. He did his best for each patient under his care and has too strong of empathy. Denise, if the series continued in a similar vein with her as the main focus, probably would've grown more to feel more for the patients. The debated Season 9 needed her as the focus instead of a bunch of wet-behind-the-ears med students, with a new Janitor as Neil Flynn had his commitments with The Middle.
I binged Scrubs about a year or so ago, and I loved this scene for one simple reason. It showed J.D had grown. You watch it again and you would be furious with J.D for most of the series. Everyone else grew but him, he was two steps forward, three back. Every mature decision he made was celebrated because they were so rare. Consider when Turk asked him if he had even babyproofed his home. J.D deserved *EVERYTHING* the Janitor did to him, and he needed the harsh mentoring from Cox. That is why Scrubs doesnt exist for me after J.D left Sacred Heart. That was his last fantasy as he had finally grown up.
I like this comment, but also, you're definitely not the only one who doesn't acknowledge Season 9 - even Zach Braff and Donald Faison think it sucked, judging by the jokes they made on the first episode of their podcast.
I still wish Jan Itor was just a figment of JD's imagination. But then we wouldn't have had the awesome dynamics of Cox and Janitor. Or Legal Custodians (get it?).
What I love about this scene is that it's very much like the scene between JD and Dr. Kevin Casey (Michael J Fox's character) where Dr. Casey is obsessively washing his hands due to OCD and explains to JD that everyone has their own baggage to deal with. Except now JD is the one imparting that same advice he was given, but in his own style, showing us that he did listen all those years ago, and has become like the veteran doctors he idolized early on.
you see i started watching this show during pandemic, when i was on 2nd year of medicine. And what got me, was that under this layer of bizzare humor, stupid jokes (which i kinda liked, but damn they were stupid sometimes)- under all that, they gave me real life lessons about medical practice. And the combination made me love this show
He wouldn't at all. He'd constantly fire at her for acting so non feely and would probably even find a saw-like ethically and morally questionable way of bringing her closer to her family and feelings.
Yes and no. He'd hate her for being too similar too him. That was his problem with Amber aka Cut Throat Bitch. But he was still fascinated by her and he'd also like to have Jo around for the same reason. He wouldn't want her on his team but in the same hospital to study her and manipulate her. Kinda keep her as a plaything/study object.
Nah, she wants to figure out what's wrong with people. That's a doctor's job. Surgeons don't figure out the problem, they got told what the problem is and then go and fix it. By the time a surgeon gets involved, the mystery of what was wrong with the patient is already gone. Jo wants to figure out what is making the 'machine go haywire', but as soon as she finds the problem she's no longer interested in them.
@@Ilchino1 Technically there was but to me it was more of a spin off series. Since underneath scrubs it said med school. On top of that most of the main characters from the original scrubs were barely there and it focused on some girl (med student obviously) who was supposed to be a female J.D.
The last season was *overall* garbage, but it wasn't *all* garbage. Easily the best moments were those with the original cast, particularly JD. It shouldn't have existed, but it had its merits.
Not really, scrubbies showed that without good scripting she and couple of other actors are so shallow. She is good only when assisted by Zach or other best actor staff.
A small thing about this is the way JD refers to Dr Cox, just as "the guy who taught me". No "My mentor" or anything, no great significance or adulation. It shows some growth in JD.
I would have really liked to see JD become more like cox as a series progressed... Then have a flashback episode showing cox was exactly like JD when he joined.
I stood behind a woman wearing ''cookie pants'' at the market, she was buying vodka, cigarettes, tampons and cat litter. I didn't say a goddamn word. Not one.
To understand the human body, genetics, immunology is one of the greatest reasons I wanted to be a doctor. I used to want to help people. Then I realized what bastards they are. Thanking God for your hard work. Blaming you for their stupidity. Lack of respect and treating you like some concierge.
People aren't bastards just because they have those flaws- you're just expecting way too much of your patients. In the beginning of med school most of us were idealists because of how far away we were from the problem. When we started practicing I realised half of us became bitter people, because people didn't treat them as they expected to be treated, and the other half just learnt to accept people as they were; flawed, with varying-degrees-of-selfish people suffering their own trials and tribulations, and who are currently sick with something they may or may not understand; something that makes them confused, and prone to 'rude' outbursts and misunderstandings. The best doctors I know de-escalate volatile situations, they explain the roots of the problem and our realistic medical capabilities in an easily grasped manner and, most of all when all is said and done, they let it go.
scifipartyman Everything you just said is true but people can still be bastards. I’m of the personal believe that most people are bastard coated bastards with bastard filling.
That's a bit arrogant. Have you ever considered thanking God for your skills? And supposing you purport to be a Christian - a stretch, I know - you are nothing more than a servant (not even a concierge) in your call to heal. And if you cannot concede this and share your skills with humble love, you are nothing more than a robot with AI - not even a servant. I do hope you find wisdom and peace.
That would explain a lot. Denise looks and acts like House (in the eyes and their shared sarcasm and dry wit). She would be the right age. House did get around, so it's possible. I would love a crossover in which House, legally dead, finds out that he has a daughter working at Sacred Heart for 10-15 years. House lost Kutner, Wilson, Thirteen (given her short life expectancy), and a lot of patients. Denise lost a lot of patients and a chance to know her father as a kid. They connect in that way. Somehow, House comes out of the shadows and clears his status as legally dead. House serves a few months given the circumstances, and he moves on in life with his newfound daughter and possible grandchildren given Denise's relationship with Drew. That's a happy ending I'll stick with.
I just realised, that i met her double in real life. In a hospital. Watching this video gives me shivers lol. I wasn't sure who the person i'm referring to reminded me of (blonde, slim, cold hearted, similar eyes, about same age and a medical assistent) but now, almost 1 year later it hit me like a bullet. *Here's the story for the curious:* I had a normal appendicitis but it reached auch a bad state, that it was almost life endangering and the appendix became perforated, causing the most horrible stomach pains you can imagine and infected the whole stomach from inside (peritonitis). I was delivered 3 times to the clinic in one week and she was like: 1st day after i was false diagnosed: She was like "hey, it's just a gastrointestinal infect. Nothing too bad. I had one too and i just kept working. Just eat some light food, soup, crackers and you'll be fine." The pains became stronger and i suffered every hour, even in the night and next day was delivered to the spital she was like: ,,You here again? It's just a normal infect." (At that day i refused an assistans advise to stay over night for checks and infusions, because i had phobia from hospitals). Two days later i went for a 3rd time (2nd delivery in an ambulance). She was like: ,,Now you're here for the 3rd time and the 2 times with an ambulance. All of that just because an infection? You're an adult man. You should fine with it." (She still believed it was a simple infection. The same night i had an emergency surgery but before that i had to get up on a high bed on myself, for check ups. I told i'm very sorry but i couldn't even lift a leg with those pains, let alone climb completely on a bed as high as my belly button.) She then was like ,,Yes, you can. Just put one leg after the other and try slowly and you'll be fine." Well, i did but i needed 10 minutes and almost passed out from the pain. Then, after her taking some of my blood and giving me pain killers, i never saw her again.
I binged Scrubs one weekend. I liked J.D at the start, and really didn't care for Elliot. By the end, that was reversed. Elliot did well for herself while J.D was still a child who should have known better. I was glad to see him suffer comeuppance for his arrogance. He deserved The Janitor. Still, I loved how his story ended. J.D finally grew up as he left Sacred Heart. Moments like these are how I think J.D is now.
Jo was such a strong character she made the creators believe in a theoretical 9th season. It's a shame they never followed through or gave her a spin-off with some of the other cast that had untapped potential, one can only imagine what that would've been like.
She was definitely one the better characters in the 9th season (which actually is a spin-off, but unfortunately got marketed as season 9). I'm one of those that didn't hate the spin-off season, though it was disappointing because of how amazing everything before it was.
there are actually a lot of doctors like denise, who got into medicine for the science of it and not the idea of helping or connecting with people. i don't think she's that much of an outlier.
A person with that kind of attitude towards patients should not have chosen to become a doctor, maybe a researcher, or a biologist. The show simplifies too much in the last seasons.
Of course a fictional television program, but Jo clearly has Schizoid personality disorder which is not related to schizophrenia despite the similar sounding name. Schizoid personality disorder is a condition where a person shows very little, if any, interest and ability to form relationships with other people. It's very hard for the person to express a full range of emotions. Jo should be a medical researcher and not a medical doctor.
I never liked Jo. It was like they wanted to do a female Dr. Cox, only this time she doesn't care about anyone! Even her own patients, wooOOOooOOOOooo! But.... It was just too try hardy for me, and her character was just bleh.
It's a real thing, though. There are doctors like this. As JD says, the lack of empathy has its advantages. Not getting attached to your patients can allow you to cope better, allow you to do what's best for them instead of what's easy, things like that. There's disadvantages too. People are varied, and some people have emotional distance problems It wasn't a cop-out, she didn't have severe trauma, they never really entirely 'fixed' her. That's just who she was.
Cox's attitude comes from how much he cares for his patients, the whole scene with him describing how JD is awesome all round proves that. Jo is just devoid of emotion. Completely different characters.
The extra season that exists but was meant to be a spin-off is Season 9. Perhaps you're confusing these two seasons? Either way, you should finish the original series with Season 8!
If you think about it in this scene up till her last line she was really acting like a man. Her last statement screwed it all up though because she tried to push the responsibility to fix her flaws onto someone else - typical female behavior.
I love that so many people have found their way to this clip, and the discussions about the scene itself and Scrubs in general. It warms my heart to see the passion is still burning for this amazing, timeless show that it is. Thank you for keeping it current at all times.

Plus it was the closest thing we got to JD being the mentor
I definitely agree
Definitely the single best part of Season 9 was her moving up to full main character status.
would she still be a "great" character if she was a fat and ugly?
"I'm not really.... getting that simile, Jo." Beautifully delivered line - JD has had enough of being called a girl from Cox, he can't allow himself to acknowledge it from anyone else.
Terrific insight there.
While calling her a boy's nickname.
God damn I just didn't realise how much JD has matured over the series
Yeah, it's cool to see. I also like that they didn't go the cliched route of him becoming a new Perry (as much as I love Cox). JD's his own person with a very different style of teaching medicine.
Safton Yeah, like Perry has the sort of tough love drill sergeant thing and JD does the whole disappointed parent thing.

And if you cannot concede this and share your skills with humble love, you are nothing more than a robot with AI - not even a servant. I do hope you find wisdom and peace.
If she was interested in the blood and organs, she should have been a surgeon.
Most doctors want to be a surgeon
Surgery is pretty fucking cool as a profession.
If they introduce Jo earlier on this series, he might be a potential lover for JD.
Funny thing is JD Gets told almost the same thing by DR Cox when he tries to stop teaching because he was just tired of it all,
This is kinda similar to the scene where Cox explains to JD why he made JD fill out his own performance review.
JD asks Jo who she is, but more importantly, what does she know?
Jo is House’s daughter
That would explain a lot. Denise looks and acts like House (in the eyes and their shared sarcasm and dry wit). She would be the right age. House did get around, so it's possible.
I would love a crossover in which House, legally dead, finds out that he has a daughter working at Sacred Heart for 10-15 years. House lost Kutner, Wilson, Thirteen (given her short life expectancy), and a lot of patients. Denise lost a lot of patients and a chance to know her father as a kid. They connect in that way.
Somehow, House comes out of the shadows and clears his status as legally dead. House serves a few months given the circumstances, and he moves on in life with his newfound daughter and possible grandchildren given Denise's relationship with Drew. That's a happy ending I'll stick with.
wow.......
Jd is cox jo is jd got it
I hate watching this show....
Its so damn real
I just realised, that i met her double in real life. In a hospital. Watching this video gives me shivers lol.
I wasn't sure who the person i'm referring to reminded me of (blonde, slim, cold hearted, similar eyes, about same age and a medical assistent) but now, almost 1 year later it hit me like a bullet.
*Here's the story for the curious:*
I had a normal appendicitis but it reached auch a bad state, that it was almost life endangering and the appendix became perforated, causing the most horrible stomach pains you can imagine and infected the whole stomach from inside (peritonitis). I was delivered 3 times to the clinic in one week and she was like:
1st day after i was false diagnosed: She was like "hey, it's just a gastrointestinal infect. Nothing too bad. I had one too and i just kept working. Just eat some light food, soup, crackers and you'll be fine."
The pains became stronger and i suffered every hour, even in the night and next day was delivered to the spital she was like: ,,You here again? It's just a normal infect." (At that day i refused an assistans advise to stay over night for checks and infusions, because i had phobia from hospitals).
Two days later i went for a 3rd time (2nd delivery in an ambulance). She was like: ,,Now you're here for the 3rd time and the 2 times with an ambulance. All of that just because an infection? You're an adult man. You should fine with it." (She still believed it was a simple infection. The same night i had an emergency surgery but before that i had to get up on a high bed on myself, for check ups. I told i'm very sorry but i couldn't even lift a leg with those pains, let alone climb completely on a bed as high as my belly button.) She then was like ,,Yes, you can. Just put one leg after the other and try slowly and you'll be fine."
Well, i did but i needed 10 minutes and almost passed out from the pain. Then, after her taking some of my blood and giving me pain killers, i never saw her again.
I binged Scrubs one weekend. I liked J.D at the start, and really didn't care for Elliot. By the end, that was reversed. Elliot did well for herself while J.D was still a child who should have known better. I was glad to see him suffer comeuppance for his arrogance.
He deserved The Janitor.
Still, I loved how his story ended. J.D finally grew up as he left Sacred Heart. Moments like these are how I think J.D is now.
There aren't enough hours in a weekend to binge Scrubs.
@@Heymrk now there are!!
Jo was such a strong character she made the creators believe in a theoretical 9th season. It's a shame they never followed through or gave her a spin-off with some of the other cast that had untapped potential, one can only imagine what that would've been like.
She was definitely one the better characters in the 9th season (which actually is a spin-off, but unfortunately got marketed as season 9).
I'm one of those that didn't hate the spin-off season, though it was disappointing because of how amazing everything before it was.
@@ToxicAntidote I have the same opinion as you on the ninth season.
I still have no idea what Jo's actual name was. She was just "Jo from Facts of Life."
Denise Mahoney
She was sooo hot
Burning Wang still is
Female House
there are actually a lot of doctors like denise, who got into medicine for the science of it and not the idea of helping or connecting with people. i don't think she's that much of an outlier.
jo mama
Jo mama
Lol JD owned that kid
For the last bit the right music would have been:
Bababa ba bap bap ba baaaaaa
Baba ba ba bab bab ba baaaaa
Jo was the best character in the show.
Seriously? How?
A person with that kind of attitude towards patients should not have chosen to become a doctor, maybe a researcher, or a biologist. The show simplifies too much in the last seasons.
Scrubs really fell off and became a cartoon after like season four, but god damn was season eight fantastic.
Of course a fictional television program, but Jo clearly has Schizoid personality disorder which is not related to schizophrenia despite the similar sounding name.
Schizoid personality disorder is a condition where a person shows very little, if any, interest and ability to form relationships with other people. It's very hard for the person to express a full range of emotions.
Jo should be a medical researcher and not a medical doctor.
Is she Jo or Denise?
She’s both
Her name is Denise but she reminds JD of the tomboy character “Jo” from The Facts Of Life
I never liked Jo. It was like they wanted to do a female Dr. Cox, only this time she doesn't care about anyone! Even her own patients, wooOOOooOOOOooo! But.... It was just too try hardy for me, and her character was just bleh.
It's a real thing, though. There are doctors like this. As JD says, the lack of empathy has its advantages. Not getting attached to your patients can allow you to cope better, allow you to do what's best for them instead of what's easy, things like that. There's disadvantages too. People are varied, and some people have emotional distance problems
It wasn't a cop-out, she didn't have severe trauma, they never really entirely 'fixed' her. That's just who she was.
Cox's attitude comes from how much he cares for his patients, the whole scene with him describing how JD is awesome all round proves that. Jo is just devoid of emotion. Completely different characters.
Never seen this season before...must be an extra. Season 1 to 7 are the only seasons that exist.
There are 8 seasons.
The extra season that exists but was meant to be a spin-off is Season 9. Perhaps you're confusing these two seasons? Either way, you should finish the original series with Season 8!
That's so Dorian.
Lol.. a wannabe fan i see. Impostor!😂
Where are all the women like her in real life?
Why scrubs failed after season 8 millennials they act like they know everything and have no humility
Everything she described are signs of Asperger's syndrome
Jeremy Love or she’s a cold bitch
Or some of us do not wear our emotions on our sleave, we put them aside and help where we can.
Seriously joe is such a pointless character.
what an unlikeable character,,,
The show started to suck once she arrived
If you think about it in this scene up till her last line she was really acting like a man. Her last statement screwed it all up though because she tried to push the responsibility to fix her flaws onto someone else - typical female behavior.
"Tips fedora"
sarina khan lmao
they'll say tips fedora but you're right
Judging by your political compass I'm guessing you prefer them aged 14 right?
Some of the worst writing in television history.
That's your opinion.
Jo should've been a surgeon
