What are your favorite moments on the show, either comedic or dramatic, thus far?

I am too tired to provide a list right now, but I'll kick things off with Carla's speech to J.D. near the end of "My Nickname." First that came to mind.

I'll be the first to mention the last Brendan Fraser episode, in its entirety, is one of my favorite moments, but in particular the '6th Sense' realization. JD: "Where do you think we are?"

I also liked when JD made a mad rush to show Heather Graham's character that he had permission from Eliot to fool around with her. When the Janitor takes him out to the middle of the desert. "After three years, do you not get how things work between us?"

My Long Way Home...almost the entire episode. Just so lovely. And the cover of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was done so well. That version (done by any number of groups now) just kills me.

From My Overkill:

When Dr. Cox smashes the bejeebus out of Colin Hay's guitar and then says "That'll do". Crack up EVERY SINGLE TIME I see it.

I wanted to pick my favorite Brendan Fraser moment, but I just can't narrow it down to one. So I'll vote for "everything Brendan Fraser ever did on Scrubs".

J.D.'s daydream about dancing with his German patient to 99 Luftballons is the funniest moment in the show, bar none.

[RainIsBeautiful]

I'm sure I'll be listing more than one favorite in the future, but this is the first one that came to mind: Sanford & Son

[CaptainTardy]

I can't remember what episode it was exactly, but this past season, when Cox and Janitor started drinking together and went to JD's house because Janitor had stolen his keys. When Cox asks how light a sleeper JD is, and Janitor says "Watch this," and kicks the edge of the bed, and JD sits up without opening his eyes, says "What?" and immediately falls back again.

I laugh so hard every. single. time. Just thinking of it, even.

And I know I mentioned it in the quotes thread, but the way Spence says to Cox "You just had a baby!" is fantastic.

Bob Kelso dancing onto the unit and down the hallway on his anniversary...hilarious.

[Azamiryou]

JD's and the Janitor's shared fantasy sequence. It's the episode where the Janitor is "a man with a saw", and he saws JD's arms off and starts hitting him with them.

[Big Kahuna]

The ending of "My Catalyst" gives me chills every time - when J.D., Turk and Dr. Cox see Dr. Casey struggling with his OCD and realize his shortcomings are far worse than theirs could ever be.

Also, for reasons I can't explain, I just love the moment in "My Friend the Doctor" where Turk jumps out of the car. Between seeing him rolling down the highway getting run over a couple times, and J.D.'s hilariously delivered "Yes, it was your bad, Carla"... it's awesome. I've rewound that scene on my DVDs more than any other, probably. And the expressions on J.D.'s and Carla's faces before the car collides with the ground below are priceless.

[zekeburger]

Anytime Sarah Chalke is shown in a bra or slutty nurses' outfit.

I win. :)

[PanicAtTheDisco]

Any scene where Dr. Cox shows his vulnerable side or insight into his screwed up mentality. They're a dime a dozen but always so poiganant and painstakingly awesome (e.g. breakdown in My Lunch, when Brendan Fraser dies, His Story, etc)

They were less than 10 episodes in, and Dr. Cox says, "Wait, you want to be me, newbie? Don't you get that I...barely want to be me?"

I was hooked on the show before that, and that line uber-hooked me, and now I'm watching Scrubs on a daily basis and wearing out my DVDs. :)

Gah. Vulnerable!Cox kills me everytime.

Speaking for myself (well, duh), I don't think there's a single line or moment in the entire first season that hurts like that one does. And it's such a small little thing in an episode that's not really about Dr. Cox or his relationship with J.D. at all, so it's a totally unexpected blow.

[Butler Did It]

A couple moments come to mind, but here are my top 4:

1) The scene between Cox and Dan Dorian (one of my least favorite characters in and of himself, but usually bringing some sort of wake up for J.D.) where Dan tells Cox that his brother looks up to him, and that he has to be the role model that Dan could never be. Great Moment.

2) The end of My Philosophy in Season 2 when the character that J.D. has bonded with dies, and J.D. imagines her 'Broadway Musical' dream. This coincides with Turk asking Carla to marry him right before she goes to visit her sick aunt and says she's got to think about it. One of my favorite episodes overall actually.

3) I love Cox's baseball speech about pitching a perfect game in Season 1. "My Blind Date". :

"There's nothing wrong with a one-hitter...in fact it's miraculous, and I won't have you cheapen what should be an endless pursuit of perfection just because you want the world to laugh with you tonight....You better get yourself a cup of coffee. New game starts in 4 minutes."

4) Pretty much anything with Ted the Lawyer. From imagining the sound of drowning Kelso, to finally getting the courage to jump off the roof, to all of the songs his band sings, to him blacking out when JD and Turk ask him about the liability of hitting golfballs off the hospital roof. Ted's the best.

[Bb]

And of course, Ted's "boing fwip!"

[Azamiryou]

I love when Turk offers Ted a high-five (raised hand) and Ted cringes like an abused dog.

[subwoofer26]

Air band... 'More then a feeling'

Perfect!

Butler Did it, you took my fave moment- the Boardway Musical- I openly weep during that scene- every time.

[Shalamar]

The moment in which Turk starts to give a speech to Carla, and she thinks he's about to break up with her. She tells him to be a man and spit it out so she can go home. Instead, he basically gives her shit for making him fall in love with her, when all he wanted was some sex with a hot nurse. :) It's funny and touching and sweet - especially so when it came out that Bill Lawrence based that exchange on a similar one he had with Christa Miller.

[Captain Spiff]

Any scenes with Hooch - "Hooch is crazy!"

Turk singing his own version of "Sanford and Son."

Turk and his backpack that looks like a woman's purse.

Anytime Ted and his band sing.

Gawd, this show is so great :)

[hannahsweetie]

I love the fantasy sequence where Kelso and Elliot's dad are circling each other in old time boxing outfits. The way Kelso says "Bring it on, bitch" is fantastic.

[Lyssbobiss]

The best dramatic moment for me was in My Lunch, where they lose all of the patients over the soundtrack of "How to Save a Life" by The Fray. It's just such a perfect moment, even though it's really painful.

[Bobby Drake]

I love pretty much any Elliot moment especially the Mexican Apple Thief! And any Ted such as him being all sweaty, leaning on the table and knocking himself out or hanging upside down for several days and no-one noticing. Best comedy ever in fact!

[lilabris]

Turk singing his own version of "Sanford and Son."

hahahaha thats such a good moment.

Turk: Quiet down now, it is time to watch the show. Yes, it's started, don't be lickin' me no mo'. Matter'a fact could you get me a handy-wiiiipe?


So funny.

Theres also another moment with Cox when he's talking to the interns and says something like

..between us we have enough brain power to light up an entire city!......Not a real city mind you but definitely a tiny ant city whose government has just enforced new energy conservation laws..."

He's so effing brilliant.

[Roark13579]

Yeah, that's from the episode where he's talking to his son about turning soft at work, only you don't realize until the end that he's not talking to a shrink. One of my favorites. The reveal is really poignant, and a good example of something Scrubs does so well: it doesn't pretend people can be fixed. Cox knows he's going to be one of those dads who pushes his kid to excel until the kid hates him. He feels bad about it, but he knows he's still going to do it. He wants to be a good dad and he'll try his best, but ultimately he is who he is, and that's not going to change much.

That episode also gave us the great line, "I'm sorry, but I think life is just too short to spend your time working someplace where people don't crap their pants at the mere sight of you."

[Sandman]

I love the fantasy sequence where Kelso and Elliot's dad are circling each other in old time boxing outfits. The way Kelso says "Bring it on, bitch" is fantastic.

I loved this one. The very idea of Kelso delivering that line is hilarious, and Ken Jenkins' prim delivery is priceless. This definitely goes on my (thankfully short) list of "So Funny I Peed A Little" moments.
