The first European name for New Zealand was Staten Landt, the name given to it by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, who in 1642 became the first European to see the islands. Tasman assumed it was part of a southern continent connected with land discovered in 1615 off the southern tip of South America by Jacob Le Maire, which had been named Staten Landt, meaning "Land of the (Dutch) States-General".
Huh, I always thought it had something to do with the danish island called Zealand (sjælland in danish), never new there was a holland province Holland called Zeeland (Zealand in english). You learn something every day!
@bigmeknurgle true but any knowledge of roughly where certain countries are will automatically give anyone a rough idea ! ! I couldn't say how long it would take to fly from where I am (England) to New Zealand but if someone said it would be 4 hours, i'd think they were an idiot !
@jesmurf The English people thought New Zealand was named after the Danish island "Zealand" and therefore it has been spelled New Zealand instead of New Zeeland ;)
"are you some kind of idiot?" note how he is saying this to someone who probably went to school for 4 times as long as he did and could tell him he has AIDS and he would believe it...
Reminds me of J.D. explaining his fake funeral to Dr. Kelso... J.D.: ... and then we'd have my REAL funeral. Kelso: Are you an idiot? J.D.: No sir, I'm a dreamer. ... and when the Janitor talks about making the hospital into a pirate ship. J.D.: Are you insane? Janitor: Nah. I'm a pirate.
@bigmeknurgle cause its thousands of miles away and takes an entire day of flying to get there. It's like saying Godzilla is from Japan, not China, it's common knowledge
The name New Zealand originated with Dutch cartographers, who called the islands Nova Zeelandia, after the Dutch province of Zeeland. No one is certain exactly who first coined the term, but it first appeared in 1645 and may have been the choice of cartographer Johan Blaeu. British explorer James Cook subsequently anglicised the name to New Zealand. There is NO connection to the Danish island Zealand.
@ElephantsOnParade22 No. He's awesome and it's his style and he's good and it's all that's needed of him. He's emotionless and stand-offish. His name's Josh Randall.
@lazyd3vil 1. you're first two points cancel each other out. 2. i don't care if you were asking me 3. ad hominem statements are dumb to make 4. i wasn't judging you, learn to take a joke. 5. I'm not undermining a country. The country is spelled as Ukraine. Nowhere, to my, knowledge is it spelled as "Ucraine". 6. I actually DO know the countries bordering because I aced my middle school and high school geography bees three year in a row. :3 7. u mad? yes. u mad. very mad :P
@lazyd3vil no one knows where Ucraine is because it doesn't exist. there is a Ukraine though that is in Eastern Europe, bordering Russia, Moldova, Poland, Romania and Belarus.
I know for a fact, that 'Old Zealand' is actually a province in holland called 'Zeeland' or, translated, 'Sealand' (Zealand). Since New Zealand was previously owned by the Dutch, it took over the name of the province.
No sir, I'm a dreamer."
"You can dance your way there from Old Zealand"
Forever a Scrubs classic
"You can dance your way there from Old Zealand." LMAO
I love how when he asked if JD was an idiot, JD kinda shook his head yes XD XD
💀
You made me google Old Zealand. Thats gonna be a hell of dance going from Holland to New Zealand.
I was expecting this to be the video of Kelso asking the same thing to JD and JD responding with “No, Sir, I’m a dreamer”. I miss this show so much.
Probably my favourite ever TV show, after Lost. I miss it!
Same but with Cox instead of Kelso.
The little nod at the end always gets me 😂
one of my favorite scenes!
I love the way JD sort of nods when he asks that.
"You can dance your way there from Old Zealand" :)
Jake: Are you an idiot?
At some point, everyone wonders that about JD... unless they are also an idiot :P
No sir, I'm a dreamer.
@Mrtostie "That's a ridiculous accusation!"
-- One of my favorites too! haha!
Dang I love this show.
"You're China!"
Outrageous accusation.
nothing is better than the original . written by the writer's language
Luv the way JD says funny!! :)
Cannot find that video on youtube! Best ever in this show...
love later in this episode when jd thinks he touched up on New Zealand and there clam chowder but it was really New England
Omg why does this make me laugh so much
Linkara has used the “Are you an idiot?” Bit on his show.
@Mrtostie haha, one of my favorites!
I'm so like JD when it comes to place's and distance 😄🙈
J.D. have this vaso vagal syncope
i love that old lady she's so nice :( lol
You just have to be a dreamer to see the difference.
The first European name for New Zealand was Staten Landt, the name given to it by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, who in 1642 became the first European to see the islands. Tasman assumed it was part of a southern continent connected with land discovered in 1615 off the southern tip of South America by Jacob Le Maire, which had been named Staten Landt, meaning "Land of the (Dutch) States-General".
oh JD, Old Zeeland is in the Netherlands!
No, im just a fantastic dancer
it did the way he said 'are u an idiot?'
lol love the new zealand accent at the end
"anta baka?"
I am definitely going to say this to someone.
PPL!!! Zealand is a island in Denmark - Zeeland is a province in Holland-
New Zealand is on the right of Australia
You can dance your way there from Old Zealand
@whityjack vasovagal syncope is mediated by the atomic nervous system.
Huh, I always thought it had something to do with the danish island called Zealand (sjælland in danish), never new there was a holland province Holland called Zeeland (Zealand in english). You learn something every day!
Vasovagal syncope is mediated by the autonomic nervous system........
from the Scrubs website :)
I ask myself thAt very same question every morning
In front of the mirror, like we all do... right?
It was one of the seven Dutch provinces that formed what are now the Netherlands.
@bigmeknurgle true but any knowledge of roughly where certain countries are will automatically give anyone a rough idea ! ! I couldn't say how long it would take to fly from where I am (England) to New Zealand but if someone said it would be 4 hours, i'd think they were an idiot !
and in this situation, i would say "i haven't flown in 10 years, i wouldn't know."
Are you an idiot?
punanipizza quite the contrary sir, I'm an engineer.
lacedemoniangmail well there are enough idiots among engineers
JAMBALAYA
Old Zealand is a province in the Netherlands, called Zeeland. Notice the combo of the English word sea and dutch word for it "zee"?
Ah, Zeeland, where the zailors like to sing about the zea!
Because OLD Zealand sounds goofy.
@jesmurf The English people thought New Zealand was named after the Danish island "Zealand" and therefore it has been spelled New Zealand instead of New Zeeland ;)
u can dance your way there from old zealand!!
ROFL!!! XD!!
@Eclipsenobody He does have vasovagal syncope :P
"are you some kind of idiot?"
note how he is saying this to someone who probably went to school for 4 times as long as he did and could tell him he has AIDS and he would believe it...
Geez dude calm the fuck down it's a joke
In Jake's defense, JD is a bit of an idiot :(
Elijah Robinson JD IS an idiot.... thats why him being a brilliant doctor makes for such a good show
He isn't really an idiot, he's just silly. He's a doctor, and passed med school, he's obviously not unintelligent.
Many professionals are complete idiots. Even doctors.
@lalakid3 Autonomic nervous system.
hahaha omg so good
i think it just sounds like it cuz he says it "faster "
lol
@D3rarsch
oooooh dude it does.
lol he kinda nodded
Reminds me of J.D. explaining his fake funeral to Dr. Kelso...
J.D.: ... and then we'd have my REAL funeral.
Kelso: Are you an idiot?
J.D.: No sir, I'm a dreamer.
... and when the Janitor talks about making the hospital into a pirate ship.
J.D.: Are you insane?
Janitor: Nah. I'm a pirate.
@jesmurf Zealand doesn't sound right without the new .... which is weird 'cos New England doesn't sound right next to England ....
There are too many Are You An Idiot? scenes from Scrubsh haha
haha
To all the potheads out there.
You realized that it says jSex in the link.
@bigmeknurgle cause its thousands of miles away and takes an entire day of flying to get there. It's like saying Godzilla is from Japan, not China, it's common knowledge

@lazyd3vil 1. you're first two points cancel each other out.
2. i don't care if you were asking me
3. ad hominem statements are dumb to make
4. i wasn't judging you, learn to take a joke.
5. I'm not undermining a country. The country is spelled as Ukraine. Nowhere, to my, knowledge is it spelled as "Ucraine".
6. I actually DO know the countries bordering because I aced my middle school and high school geography bees three year in a row. :3
7. u mad? yes. u mad. very mad :P
@lazyd3vil no one knows where Ucraine is because it doesn't exist. there is a Ukraine though that is in Eastern Europe, bordering Russia, Moldova, Poland, Romania and Belarus.

New Zealand was never owned by the Dutch, merely named by a Dutchman
