It sucks at the end when J.D says "It's enough just to love my brother even though I know he'll never come up big for me", he has no idea what his brother just did.
The sad thing is that JD will probably never know Dan did that, just because Dan's not the type of guy to say that he did that for JD. I do love that scene where he talks to Dr Cox all the same though
Giving a 2 minute speech to someone who is practically the stranger isn't the same as coming up big for him. It's true that Dan gets better throughout the series, but even giving this speech Dan isn't really committing to any real action. He's just giving the task to Cox, leaving all the work to someone else
@@mo0man What's he going to do? He knows JD doesn't care what he has to say. Dr.Cox is the only one who has this power, and all Dan can do is make sure he doesn't abuse it.
@@VGamingJunkieVT Maybe if he had done anything at all in the previous 28 or so years, JD would have some measure of respect for his opinion. Actually, maybe if he had done anything at all in the previous 28 or so years, JD wouldn't be so desperate for any kind of positive male role model and he wouldn't have attached as hard as he did to Dr Cox. Dr Cox shouldn't have had that much power over JD's worldview in the first place.
Dan's out breath as Cox walks away...... Shows he really was intimidated by Cox, but managed to stay strong and gain massive respect from him. This is easily in my top 5 best TV moments of all time.
As a “screw up” myself I feel a connection to Dan. First time I watched this scene with him talking to Cox I felt a tear come down my face. I know the feeling of wanting to be better. Wanting to be that guy people look up too but it just isn’t in the cards for us. And if I saw someone taking their role as the inspiration for granted you bet your ass I’d do the same thing Dan did. If you have someone looking up to you, you have been given a gift and a chance to help someone be great. To guide them to be truly special. Cherish it. Embrace it. Because some of us would give anything to have it. It’s not a burden to have someone always looking to you to guide them. It’s the greatest blessing you could have in this miserable world. Take it seriously!
Well, honestly, it can be a burden. But that doesn't mean it should be blown off without regard for consequences. No one has a duty to be anyone's role model, which is why someone stepping up to be someone's mentor is (can be, *should* be) such a big deal. . But inspiration-source or not, we all effect each other; it's a natural consequence of sharing the same space, society, world... . We should never empty ourselves unto our death to supplement others who can, actually, do for themselves. But how many little kindnesses cost so much less than that, or nothing at all? Giving *that* whenever we can (which is so much more than people seem to think) really does make the world a little bit better of a place, so why not do so? . After all, you never you when you may, as JD says in the final episode (of the seasons that actually count of this series), "make someone, anyone, feel a little bit better".
If someone else chooses to look up to you, that's their choice. You didn't ask them for their admiration or for them to take cues from you. If you choose to accept that responsibility to be someone's mentor or whatever, that's great and all. But it's not some sacred duty you are compelled to follow. Dr. Cox has his own life and problems to deal with, and he did not ask for JD's attention. He doesn't owe JD, or Dan, anything.
@@carolperczak9938 Nah. I've got enough shit to deal with in my life. I don't need anyone else's. I'm all set. I don't require external validation in the form of some rando's admiration. I strive to be better because I want to be better for ME. Because the thrill of achievement and acquisition of new skills brings ME personal satisfaction. I don't do it to satisfy the neediness of an unwanted follower, nor would I ever wish to.
@@carolperczak9938 Well the whole point here was that Mr. Cox secretly enjoyed the attention and admiration lavished upon him by the interns, that's why Dan says you like the fact that these kids look up to you. So that's why he says take it serious, if he expressed to the interns openly and plainly that he doesn't like being doted upon it would have been different and he would have refuted Dans statement, plus we find out just how true that is when Dr. Cox actually wants the Hospital director or head doctor position in later episodes.
JD will never know what Dan did for him. But he would do it a thousand times over, just because he knew it was going to benefit his brother. Standing up to Cox like that, terrified. But he did it. He's a real brother.
I like the tiny detail in there where before Cox asks if JD would trade it, JD is slouching when pushing the patient as if he resents his work. After Cox's question and JD responds "no", he stands a little taller and stops slouching at the realization he likes what he does. Nice symbolism there.
I can always empathise with Dan because I have the exact same thing going on with my younger brother. He's a big ticket engineer while I'm a starving writer with a sideline in anything I can make a bit of money from.
Always loved this scene. Dan looking out for his younger brother. In the sense he knows JD will receive the message via Dr. Cox and not himself. This scene resonates with many people. Great writing and great delivery!
"I'm asking--I'm telling you: Take that responsibility seriously; stop being such a hard-ass; otherwise, you're gonna have to answer to me." One of the best lines from the entire series.
Damn.. so many people of different series that I absolutely love have made an appearence in scrubs.. Dr H. R. Wells (from The Flash) Stella a.k.a the wedding bride (From H.I.M.Y.M) The Janitor -my favorite character in scrubs- (The Middle) Can't wait to find more series with actors from the scrubs cast. It realy brings back memories :)
Neil Flynn, the Janitor, was not only the transit cop that was killed in the Fugitive, but he also played the role of the longshoremen in the movie Major League that starred Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen and Wesley Snipes. He had maybe two lines in the movie. One of them was "Maybe these guys aren't half bad."
Good episode. Good scene. That guy who plays Dan, the same guy from the series "Ed", always seems to play interesting, complex (ish) characters. Always kinda liked Ed for the same reason.
Honestly one of the reasons I watched for so long (tho I stopped around S5, and only watched some of the crossovers), he was one of my favorites of the show
Anyone know the music playing at the end of the video? They would often use it at the end during JDs narration. If only I could get the music, I'd do my own narration, maybe in the elevator after calling it a day from work 😄
Back when I first saw this I found Dan to be mostly annoying. This one scene though... thats strong. Also back then I had no idea that I would come to respect the actor for his broader-than-you-think skills when he joined the cast of... The Flash.
@originalyaoilover18 sorry to have to bring this up again, Even so that what you are saying is true, i must say that its it about time to forget the pain and suffer and actully look forward and see how good we now have it. off topic, if a Black man calling the "C" word on me, Im sure as hell calling the "N" word on him. Fair and Squair.
@fabulosity09 Because what point in history is so painful to us (I'm assuming you are also white since you asked) that racial slurs bring it up? The part where we ruled the land, the part where we (if also man) could vote, the part where we could own others and got nice public toilets, or the part where we got jobs easily (again, if you are also a man, but women could be teachers and stuff!)? Really, it's because EVERY decade and century past, being white made it easy. That's why.
He's an awesome actor, the reason the delivery of his speech to Dr. Cox is so moving in this scene is because how he played his character throughout the time he's been on screen up to this moment. His easygoing frivolous, devil may care attitude makes his serious moment here all the more captivating.
This is how men resolve differences. There's not much of this left in the world now that the weakest generation ever to walk the earth has grown into adulthood.
I've given almost this exact speech about a coworker who is a little minorly "challenged" to our superiors who were being disrespectful and taking advantage of him.

Dr Cox shouldn't have had that much power over JD's worldview in the first place.
Cox: “Newbie!!!! Did I just walk in on you mocking an innocent patient”
JD: “Yes 😔”
Cox: “I’ve never felt closer to you”
😂😂😂😂
Dan's out breath as Cox walks away...... Shows he really was intimidated by Cox, but managed to stay strong and gain massive respect from him. This is easily in my top 5 best TV moments of all time.
When Dan tells Dr. Cox that JD is starting to hate what he does you can see the realization in Cox's face that he needs to step in ans change that
That's why he's a great actor.
I love the look on Dr Cox face at the end. He gained some respect for Dan here
Think it's a combination of that and Cox realizing he had become to cynical to be a good influence on JD and needed to come back from that somewhat.
JD's sleeveless says "Black by popular demand"
😂🤣
"How long has my little brother had the desire to smother old people? I feel I should warn Grandma."

Scrubs is genuinely the best written sitcom ever

Brilliant scene. This is why Scrubs is my favourite sitcom. :)

Good spot!
Dan truly did come through for his lil bro, shows how much he really loves him❤️
I'm on a Scrubs scene binge right now and dude, I am laughing and crying so much.
I can always empathise with Dan because I have the exact same thing going on with my younger brother. He's a big ticket engineer while I'm a starving writer with a sideline in anything I can make a bit of money from.
I’m having trouble there too. You consider getting a job as a editor someplace that publishes you?

Ba-ha-rrrri-hing! Hi, Dan? Coxaronie. Regarding the rum and coke issue -- couldn't be more confused!
scrubs always makes me cry...damn you scrubs!
"Regarding the Rum&Coke issue...couldn't be more confused" is such an underrated line
This is why H.R. left earth 19
Quite possibly.
"I'm asking--I'm telling you: Take that responsibility seriously; stop being such a hard-ass; otherwise, you're gonna have to answer to me."
One of the best lines from the entire series.
Nothing scarier than a person with nothing to lose.

as an only child wish i have a big bro that has my back like dan

Good scene.

Always kinda liked Ed for the same reason.
Originally, it was supposed to be JD's dad saying this to Dr Cox. But John Ritter's death forced them to change things.
I feel like this is better, even if Ritter were alive. But that's just me.
so great that Dan finally comes up and really gets to dr.cox
The Reverse Flash strikes again
Lmao
I want a brother like that without hiding it from me
Team Flash, I think I've found your new Wells.
So, doctor cox, do you have any patients that may have been struck by lighting? Anyone who reportedly flatlines regularly for unexplainable reasons?
THANK YOU. I LOVE the end of this episode. Like the bit with elliot and the cat too, but this AWESOME. Thanks :)
Now that was a moment. The best Tom Cavanagh ever did.
I love this scene so much really hits hard
@aceitjt I'd say the best scene of the series. really awesome.
Excellent! Looking for this scene, good going big bro.
Dr. Cox could have won Oscar’s if the stars aligned differently, he’s literally fuckin brilliant
my Favorite scene of the show!
Wouldn't trade it for anything. Words to live by.
oh i;m not dan at all some would say i'm the reverse
Nad?
Goddammit. Have a like.
@@PsypherWolf Have you watched The Flash yet?
@@JEENYUS123456 I haven't but I do know what it's referencing.
Dan can't act like he cared for JD, because JD is dead for him since centuries... Ups mixed uo the Universes :P
There's been a lot of criticism of how cw's the flash has turned out, but anyone who watched it knows Tom Cavanaugh can act.
Honestly one of the reasons I watched for so long (tho I stopped around S5, and only watched some of the crossovers), he was one of my favorites of the show
1:30 I want that as a ring tone.
Sure is nice to be doing something you love. Wouldn't trade it. . . Don't forget that.
The sadness u hear when he says “ever”
Ouch
you are correct sir! hell of a scene
Not gonna lie. Reverse flash before he met Barry Allen was AWESOME. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
I like to think this is the moment Dr cox truely started seeing him as a mentee.
nice that u say the episode ......
0:44. "I've never felt closer to you." Haha!
This must have been one of the first videos on YT.
Harrison wells has been at it for awhile
Yeh, hes so sweet
Hi Dan! - Coxeroni!
2:50 I love Dr. Cox's face there.
CAN EVERYONE STOP TALKING ABOUT FLASH DAN IS NOT DR. WELLS IN THIS SHOW STOP ACTING LIKE HE IS
"hi dan, coxeroonie, regarding the rum and coke issue - couldn't be more confused!"
Hey, it's Harrison wells.
"You gonna have to answer to me" Next time they meet, Cox drowns his brother in a bath. lol
Sorry dude, i gotta. LoL, keeps me rolling.
"You have to run faster DR. Cox!"
That last scene though
LÖL SCRUBS is AWESOME^^
Off topic but the actors playing JD and Dan do look like they could really be related... that’s cool 😊
I kinda used to wish Shepherd could've played dan
BRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!! Hi Dan, Coxaroni- regarding the rum and coke issue; couldn't be more confused!!! XP
