History Fridge / Scrubs

** Turk is presumably not 100% die-hard no-chance-of-reconsidering-whatsoever serious about never teaching his daughter anything about sex at all. He is being serious ''in that specific moment'' because he doesn't want to think of his baby girl having sex in eighteen years or so and is getting in early on being an OverprotectiveDad. In other words, the fact that he is being serious is part of the joke.
*** Still horrifying.

* In "My Old Lady", Dr Cox impresses upon JD that "everything we do is a stall" on death followed by JD imagining himself playing against Death at Connect 4. Connect 4 is the perfect metaphor as while you can block individual moves, a perfect player can force victory so long as they make the first move

*** Because it's J.D.'s imagination-memory and an exaggeration, maybe?
*** Or because being attractive to two gay men is still a compliment?

*** This Troper is pretty sure that Dr. Cox was referring to ''his own'' funeral. Which is still pretty depressing when you think about it.
*** The conversation goes 'I don't see why you can't be there for the major events of Jack's life'/'I'd love to see him turn three'/'The MAJOR events, Paige: his graduation, his wedding, his divorce, and his funeral.' So Cox was referring to Jack's funeral.
*** Or he might have just been listing what he considers are the "major events" of Jack's life, and not necessarily implying or expecting his sister to be alive to be there for it.

* Doctor Cox not caring about the interns complaining about how "awful" their parents made a lot of sense when you consider how physically and emotionally abusive his own parents were.

** This also works as a callback to an episode that involved Dr. Cox, J.D., and Turk discussing their problems with their respective significant others at the time. In this one, J.D. "wins" (meaning that his problem was the worst of the group), Because his "peep's on the fritz." It seems that virility is rather important to the Sacred Heart staff.
* In the ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' finale,[[spoiler: the ''only'' way Cox could express his feelings for J.D. was if he was using them to ''chew someone else out''. And J.D. ''realized'' that, and used it for his own benefit!]]

* Elliot gets railed a lot for acting like Cox never helped her when he punched Kelso in “My Dream Job”. But look at it from her perspective; she doesn’t know his issues like Carla/Jordan/JD do, it’s in her character to be self absorbed which she’s called out on, she was going through a major depressive episode and it’s easy to assume that she would rather have someone talk to her than a big violent gesture made on her behalf.

* One can see the main characters (J.D., Turk, Elliot) as undergoing some severe {{Flanderization}} as the show moved on. At the start of the show they had their own quirks but were otherwise [[StraightMan Straight Men]] compared to the overall wackiness of Sacred Heart. But one could interpret that their exaggeration is actually a part of their overall assimilation to the hospital: in the beginning they were interns and outsiders, but once they actually became respected and important doctors they also became a large part of the quirkiness that is Sacred Heart.

* In "My Brother,My Keeper" Judging by how horrendously out of date Dr. Townsend was shown to be, how many people has he accidentally killed with outdated and unsafe methods?
