Meet the men from Scrubs

J.D.

Oh man, J.D. is like that weird, lovable narrator buddy you can’t help but root for — total daydream king with a ridiculous imagination and a serious soft spot for people. He floats through the hospital half in a fantasy bubble (you’ll see the internal monologue waves) and half actually doing good medicine, which is somehow the best part. Immature and swoony and tender all at once, he will name your imaginary child and then nervously forget your actual birthday — in a charming way? Probably. Also collects weird mugs and has a sketchbook where half the pages are cartoons and half are feelings.

Dr. Cox

Dr. Cox is the human equivalent of a two-word insult and a life lesson wrapped into one long, angry speech — the sarcastic mentor who tortures you to make you better. He hurls barbs like grenades but then quietly patches people up and swallows his own trauma (loudly, and then denies it), so yeah, complicated. He’s fiercely competent, impossibly proud, and secretly sentimental in ways he’d never announce at a meeting — tell him that and he’ll call you “Newbie” for the next year. Also, he definitely drinks too much coffee and claims he hates attachments while keeping a mental list of everyone he’d kill for.

Robert Kelso

Kelso walks the line between charming, doddering hospital CEO and shameless lothario who absolutely loves his golf weekends and office perks. He makes decisions that make you want to scream at him across a cafeteria and then, five minutes later, he’ll drop a tiny, unexpected kindness that makes you reevaluate everything — maddening! He presents as a corpulent, old-school boss but there’s this weird loneliness about him, like a man who collects regrets and cufflinks. He’ll flirt with disaster and with the nurses, occasionally cry in private, and somehow keep his posture like it’s 1975 forever.

Christopher Turk

Turk is pure, boisterous energy — the best friend you want to party with and the surgeon you want on the table, all wrapped in show-off dance moves. He celebrates everything (seriously every little thing is a party), has a bromance that is the emotional core of the whole place, and yet he can be surprisingly deep and insecure when it counts. Loves Michael Jackson, loves high-fives, and will probably challenge you to an impromptu dance-off in the staff room — then cry during a sappy commercial. Also somehow both competitive and annoyingly selfless; it’s exhausting but endearing.

The Janitor

The Janitor is chaos incarnate — petty king of pranks, guardian of the basement, and possibly the architect of everyone’s worst day-turning-into-something-funny. He’s this bizarre mash-up of petty villain, offbeat philosopher, and mystery man with a thousand secret histories (did he used to be a spy? a saxophonist? both?). He obsesses over J.D. like it’s a lifelong quest and bounces between childish glee and eerily poignant monologues about mops and meaning. Also, he’s inconsistent on purpose — one minute a slacker, the next minute meticulously arranging traffic cones like it’s performance art.

Ted Buckland

Ted is the walking, talking tragicomic heart — a flustered, defeated little man with a tuna-fish haircut and a surprisingly huge talent for mournful piano songs. He’s anxious to the point of absurdity, crumples under pressure, and yet somehow manages to have these tiny, earnest moments of dignity (and occasional passive-aggressive revenge schemes that are low-key brilliant). He’s both pathetic and sympathetic, a mess of legal briefs and sad-sack jokes, and he might sob into a cake frosting and then sing you a lullaby like nothing weird happened. Also he loves his lawyerly dignity but will absolutely take a job doing catering if the money’s right.

Todd Quinlan

Todd is meathead brilliance: supercharged high-fives, offensive jokes, and a surprisingly competent hands-on surgeon who somehow balances gross-out humor with actual loyalty. He’s loud, proud, and unapologetically horny in the most ridiculous ways, but then — plot twist — he’ll step up in a crisis and show a weirdly soft, earnest side that nobody expected. He collects bravado like trading cards and then hides a few small insecurities about being seen as shallow (don’t tell him I said that). Also his catchphrases are endless and possibly illegal in some countries, but you can’t deny he’s effective when it matters.
