Dr. Kelso is dead - Scrubs

[@domydishes]

Funny, because Cox relies on the "I dont care what people think of me" act just as much.

[@deathbird1202]

Yup. Said as much to elliot after that whole rabies incident.

[@thefurrybastard1964]

Agreed, in Cox's case it's because he's a narcissist.

[@TheUnstableThinker]

Nah he's not a narcissist, he just has a giant ego. Repeat after me: a GIANT EGO.

[@andrewkrenz1420]

cox is a nihilist not a narcissist.....

[@Seriona1]

I think most of you miss the point why Cox and Kelso pretend to be assholes. It's because their jobs depend on it, they have new doctors coming in all the time who are scared and if they see these two break, the hospital will fall apart. Plus another reason is that they experience enough death to see things as numbers instead of people, natural part of the job. Plus lets be honest, they both love doing it and it's part of who they are. I think the pressure of their power and being around death just eases it.

[@rockoperajon]

Funny thing is, in a later episode, Kelso says genuinely that he spends every other weekend at medical conferences because he has to keep up with new treatments. Pretty likely that he really was going to a “medical boondoggle” and the whole golf trip in Hawaii story was just a lie to screw with Perry (and keep up his image as a villain).

[@adamryan977]

Yeah or the episode were he dumped the poor guy from the study in favor of the rich guy only to reveal in the end that he used the money to finance a medical care bus for underprivileged pregnant woman. Or the last seasons when Cox is in his position and has to make the hard decisions to keep the hospital running, like firing the kitchen boy everybody liked. J.D summed it up pretty good. In the end i wouldn't wanna make any of the decisions he makes.

[@patrickkanas3874]

The unfortunate part is that the whole evil chief thing is actually kind of an act because Kelso realizes that the hospital needs a common enemy to function properly

He's not crying. He's holding back boisterous laughter.

[@andrewsparkes8829]

That is the very first interaction between the Janitor and anyone else but JD, since before this moment, the intention was for Janitor to be in JD's head. Which also explains the "Who are you?" line, which is a subtle joke for fans because in most sitcoms (at least of that era, before plots got more complicated in comedies) the main cast wouldn't usually be having their very first interaction in the second season.

[@Miguelproductions100]

[@Rammstein0963]

The end there, where Cox so calmly yet acidicly lays into Kelso, is what makes his character so great, so believable (despite being in a comedy show), so....like Kelso and yet so NOT.

[@GtarTravis1]

Worst part? A few seasons later, we find out Kelso has a real soft spot and is nowhere near as evil as anyone thinks he is. He pays for a kid's father's hospital bill and he himself mopes over letting patients die.

[@SaraNightfire1]

He also admitted in another episode that he knew the staff was letting in patients who had no insurance and money. He just turned a blind eye to it because he was holding that act.

[@natemeier2908]

Kelso is one of my favorite characters because of the complex layers they gave him. Anyone who's been in charge of managing a department understands that the group needs someone to focus their ire on when budget cuts or director level decisions cause stress, frustration, and anger. If you're a good manager, you let yourself be the villain they need in those moments, even if you're just as angry about the situation as they are. People will give up if they have to keep coming in, day after day, and deal with the full horror of the level to which no one in the organization is actually in control of anything that's happening to all of them.

[@peary12]

[@Fermion.]

The difference is that Trump can do it with his own money, Obama did it with ours. You do realize that Trump declined an Air Force 1 renovation because it costed too much. He isn't as wasteful as people make him out to be, which is one of the reasons he became so wealthy.

[@Fermion.]

DamaOscuraDeTodos - You have proof to back that up, or are you just saying that because the news tells you to be outraged? I swear, I've never seen so many people so utterly mind controlled in my life. You do realize that Trump declined to even have a Presidental salary as well? You realize that the stock market is booming because of Trumps legislation? You realize that jobs are coming back to the US because of Trump? Anyway, I don't expect a rational response from you. So just go about your life hating Trump, because the establishment tells you to. Ask yourself, why is it that so many rich liberal elites (Hollywood, News Media, etc.) hate Trump? Anyone that rich liberals can't stand, is cool with me (an enemy of my enemy is my friend). Malcolm X knew what was up with white liberals in the 60's.

[@brandywinebridget]

@@TheDunestrider There’s a story to that one - The Office almost got canceled partway through S1, and part of it was how unlikeable Michael was. They changed the character because it was tanking the show
