It took them censoring that quote for me to realize that this show needs a thread about dirty, naugh-tie, and barely-got-past-the-censors moments. With a show this loose, there are bound to be some good ones. Come on, join in!

Well, it's not one particular moment, but Elliot spends quite a lot of time in her bra. Oooh....I think the naugh-tie-est one of those moments was "Nurse Elliot" in Turk's fantasies. Hot.

In His Story, there's this odd moment where Eric Bogosian is talking to Dr. Cox and he mentions the phrase "blow it out [his] ass" and for some reason, ass is muted out. I always thought that was a bit weird.

That was recently muted out on Comedy Central. This is the same network that has South Park where the phrase "They killed Kenny! Those bastards!" is often used. So I thought that was really weird.

In an early episode, Cox advises Turk (in some of the best dailogue ever) to masturbate to soothe his OR nerves. Turk does so and comes out of the bathroom(?) to see a maybe dozen people waiting for him. Those in front are seated on lawn chairs. Everyone applauds Turk's "efforts." Among the audience members are Cox, Wen, and the Todd -- with a camera. I know I'm not doing the scene justice.

From the same network that brought you the "master of your domain" episode.

Ha, featuring one of my favorite euphemisms (or nicknames?): Downtown Lester Brown.

What about this past season when JD told Turk he and Kim did it "Rowdy style"? I swear I did a spit take.

That's really disturbing considering he had a voicover hoping he hadn't caught dog flu in one epsidode.

Methinks JD needs to watch Jeanane Garofolo's missive about loving your pets from The Truth about Cats and Dogs.

It's on now and I just remembered how much I laughed the first time I saw this in My Nightingale:

Dr. Cox: Well, I'm glad we finally had a chance to, uh, talk.

Jordan: You and me, both. I mean, I haven't had anyone to talk to lately.

Dr. Cox: Whoa-kay.

Jordan: But boy, you sure do talk fast.

Dr. Cox: Bye-bye!

Jordan: Next time we talk, maybe I could finish a sentence or two.

Carla: [sing-song] You still like her.

Dr. Cox: Why, because we had a conversation in an empty room?

Carla: That room's not empty.

[cut to patient grinning]

Not too dirty, but borderline:


Elliot: You don't like Cox?

Jordan: Actually I love Cox.

Todd: Greatest conversation ever.

(Woman: This sausage is huuuuuuge.)

Todd: 'cuse me ladies, I'm needed elsewhere.



Isn't there some conversation where someone mentions something about having to change their underwear (in a scandelous way)?

Wow... that is the vaguest question ever. Sorry.

Close -- Here it is, from "My American Girl"

Cox: Now, I'm real sorry I cold-cocked you, there, Bob -- I shouldn't have done that. Even if it did actually feel so damn good I changed my pants afterwards.

And here's my favorite, from "My Intern's Eyes":

Turk: No! She knows I can't eat without my strawberry milk. You should've just let her fork me!
Elliot: I think that's how you got into trouble in the first place! Heh, whazzup!
Todd: Euphemism five!

Speaking of Cox:

Elliot: I started a thread called 'I Hate Cox' but the only people who joined were a couple of interns and a lot of angry lesbians.

Sheesh. There've been a lot of dirty Scrubs moments. I think the policy is that they'll intentionally push the boundaries just to give the censors something to cut, so the stuff they really want will seem tame by comparison. They often end up quite surprised by what makes it through.

One of my favorites is from "My Case Study," where they're talking about how Kelso is the day after his anniversary.


That whole sequence was so perfectly executed, and Johnny C.'s commitment just makes it so freaking hilarious every time I see it.

One dirty moment that I can't believe slipped past the censors is Carla's line to the Todd about needing an extra long tongue-depressor and Elliot's response to that ("How did he not say, 'Yeah, in my pants'?").

Haha wow... I never got the dirtier part of that dirty comment before. It's like a level beyond the standard "...in my pants" joke.

Anything with the Todd is bona fide dirty

I think my favorite episode for this is "My Dirty Secret." It's like the whole episode is taunting the censors.

Kelso: Dr. Reid, you need to be able to say simple clinical words like 'penis' or 'vagina' or 'anal'."
Elliot: Sir, anal is not a dirty word.
Kelso: Tell that to my wife.
