I thought I would start a topic where all of us Scrubs fans can share our obsession stories.

I'll go first:

You know you're obsessed with Scrubs when you're out at a bar/club last night and Bell Biv Devoe's "Poison" comes on. You immediately start laughing, thinking of Turk's own "Poison" dance and then start trying to remember the dance so you can do it yourself.

YKYOWS When...

Somebody around you says something perculiar or odd and your instant reaction is to tilt you head 45 degrees sideways and lookup -- queue-ing your very own Dream/What If-Sequence. Like if someone says "Boy those pigeons are fat" then you'd think of them sitting lazily on a couch eating chips.

YKYOWS when. . .

You and all your close friends refer to each other by the names of the characters because they are too much like you. I haven't called my friend John by his correct name in about 4 months . . . it's been J.D. since before he moved out lol. And we let our other friend think he's Janitor, but we call him The Todd when he's not here.

[Sandman]

A friend was travelling over the last two weeks and I taped the new episodes of House for him. When I was telling him about them, and about the new episode slated to air that night, I kept substituting, quite unconsciously, the word "Scrubs" for "House." They're both set in a hospital, they're both on Tuesday nights - but ... the hell? I must have said "Scrubs" three or four times in as many sentences, until my friend finally barked "I don't give a crap about Scrubs!" at me in frustration. (I have tried to hook him on the show, I really have.)

I'm pretty sure this qualifies as obsession.

Also, does calling (916) CALL-TUR(K) (multiple times, ahem) count as a YKYOWS moment?

Totally does, Sandman. ;)

[Sandman]

Aw, frick! (Of course, adopting a pretend cussword is probably further evidence for the YKYOWSW... file.)

[lulu519]

I work in a law firm, and the plaintiff's file that I'm currently working on has a bunch of medical providers and doctors' records. One of the doctors is Dr. Endo, and everytime I come across those records, I think of The Todd saying "In your endo" after a patient tells him that she is sick of his sexual innuendos.

Oh thank god, this happened to someone else. This happened to me at a party this weekend, and (several sheets to the wind) first I was alll "Awwwwww!", and then "Oh yeah!" I didn't attempt the dance, but I grooved around in my chair for a bit.

( It was less conspicuous then my sniffling when George Michael's "Freedom" came on and I was really missing Arrested Development something fierce.)

I was at a basketball game this weekend, a girl behind me sneezed and I felt the mist fall on my arm. I immediately imagined my arm turning green! Then I went to the bathroom and scrubbed it with soap.

[Bubblz]

Today in class I was bored, so I caught my friends eye and did the "I'm going to kill you" motions the Janitor did to J.D. in S1. Then I laughed for a long time, but nobody else got where it was from. Sigh. At least she thought it was funny.

...your bus to work goes through the Int'l District/Chinatown and you can't stop imagining green blobs on everyone's crotch, ass and lips ala the Todd, and you CANT. STOP. LAUGHING. Every AM since that episode aired!

YKYOWSW you get the DVDs back from your sisters after 2 1/2 months and watch the 1st and 4th episodes of Season 1 twice, once with the commentary off and once with it on.

[RainIsBeautiful]

On an episode of The Golden Girls this morning (shut up, I'm unemployed), a music box sang the theme from Bonanza -- and of course, I sang out loud, "Dum da da dum da da dum da da shiny scal-pel! Dum da da dum da da dum da da dum dum gonna slice 'im up!"

That would be the weirdest and funniest crossover ever, if The Todd (in banana hammock) appeared on The Golden Girls. Heeeeee.

[rose89]

... when you used "boing fwip" in regular conversation with a non-Scrubs watcher.

[Flying Penguin]

...when you compare all your own "AWESOME" moments with JD's Top 3 Moments... and David Copperfield pulling a coin out from behind your ear at a bar still comes out on top.

[OverTheTop]

you borrow scrubs from your friend on halloween and never return it because you love it to much!!!
hehe still got it!
(I'll have to add to this that i am from germany and never ever seen doctors wear scrubs untill i discovered the show)

YKYOWSW:

1) You've had more daydream sequences in the last 5 years than ever before.

2) You randomly hum the theme from "Sanford and Son"

3) You do '____ five' things with your friends that even The Todd hasn't thought of.

[RainIsBeautiful]

2) You randomly hum the theme from "Sanford and Son"

What's best is when you sing it like the boys did..."Bah buh BWAH Dah! *clap clap* Bah buh BWAH Duh BWAH duh bwah!" :D

[montys_gun]

YKYOWSW:

You giggle when somebody utters the phrase "Double Entendre".

Double Entendre. Hee.

[emma675]

YKYOWSW you're in the middle of a conference call with the client and they don't like something and you totally drift off for a good five minutes having a JD-like fantasy. (Which involved Dr. Cox doing a little client ass kicking. It rocked.)

[VersesBatman]

When you hear the song "More than a feeling" and you pretend you are in the Air Band.

[guppiechic]

Or when you hear BBD "Poison" and begin to dance, even if you in your car, driving 75mph.

[LilJen]

YKYOWSW you dream that you're walking down the hall with Carla, after finding out she's pregnant, all excited, and saying, "hey, in a few weeks I'll take you shopping for maternity clothes" (because you remember that by now you've lent/given away all the maternity clothes you had). (eeek.)

[VersesBatman]

Instead of shrink you say Blah-Blah-oligist

[Flying Penguin]

...when you and your friend use Elliot-speak as a compromise when talking about "down there" anatomy (she can't handle such delicate issues while you don't feel a hint of embarrassment). "Bajingo" and "icky sticky" are now a part of your vocabulary.

[Spyder]

...when one of your roomies is talking about something unbelievably boring and you turn to him and say "What has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap?"

[Roark13579]

When you have nearly all the episodes from the first three seasons in digital format on your computer, and you write a program to play them all in a loop, 24 hours a day, several days in a row, until you can recite all the lines along with them.

[lulu519]

Okay, I noticed something in the gym yesterday, and it freaked me out a little bit. I was doing one of the ab machines, and I was daydreaming while in between sets, like I normally do. In my daydream, I was basically thinking of errands I have to run and things I have to do at work this week. Then I started to wonder about one of the things I have to do at work, and I pulled a total J.D. move: I asked myself a question, and then I looked up and made that face he makes when he has a fantasy. It was so weird, cause I caught myself doing it. Then I started to wonder if I had always done that or if I picked it up from Scrubs. I have to ask my friends if I have been doing that since before Scrubs came on the air, because if not, I'm officially a loser!
