Scrubs Dr. Cox Breaks Down

From episode 522, My Déjà vu, My Déjà vu
Requested by: gangsterchickenxx

[@blaknite16523]

Dr. Cox is literally one the best characters ever created in any work of fiction.

[@santiagocarreno5881]

blaknite16523 so true, this may sound a like obsessive but one can understands why JD so desperately wanted him to be his mentor

[@funnyguylolzorz]

most of the characters on this show were that. the janitor, tedd, the brain trust in general, cox's brother-in-law/best friend, JD's brother...supporting characters that stick with you. and that's not even talking about all the main characters! :)

[@renlentlesstourist7574]

apart from the Virgin Mary... also another fictional character. However, Mary "screwed outside of marriage and claimed it was God; to avoid Stoning.." thats a REAL character :)

[@jeremysnowden1286]

blaknite16523 ok one of the best I can agree to this

[@jimmymackinnon8474]

Renlentless Tourist Did the Devil make you say this? Why do you insist on going to Hell?

[@carlyedwards1422]

I didn't like Elliot in this episode. Is she forgetting everything cox did to show her he respects her? 1. Punching kelso in the face 2. Helping her realize that despite Molly's personal life she made her a better doctor and was good for her 3. Helping her get Jake saying it'd be nice to see her happy for a change 4. Asking for her help with the teenage girl patient and listening to her when she said every woman feels insecure 5. Giving her the chief resident job JD is definitely his favorite but he cared about her too

[@derokdeathaxe6984]

i think the point was how she felt less-important than JD or less important than arguing with Kelso. not mentioning the fact that He punched Kelso because JD induced him to think "what if it's your daughter?" and he snapped

[@CanadianGuinea16]

Derok Deathaxe I know you replied this a long time ago but I just wanted to say that Dr. Cox didn’t help Elliott originally with Kelso because he had his own stuff going on to deal with. He is supposed to be there for them but he’s still got his own life. But through Elliott’s conflict with Kelso, when JD tells him he’ll be an excellent father because he’d deal with Kelso if Elliott was his daughter, that’s when Dr. Cox’s own stuff is resolved because he realizes he knows what to do, so he can now help Elliott by punching Kelso in the face

[@bobmeyer854]

The show stopped being consistent after about season 4 and became stagnant and a few seasons later went off the rails especially when it started making fun of itself. You and other people can give their own logic on it but the truth is the writers just ran out of ideas. The original idea was a typical story about young adults learning about life and career and it was set against the backdrop of them being doctors. Any show that is like this ends up stagnating once they become experienced, stable adults. The devoted fanbase this show has, me included, is why it managed to last long enough to become stale.

This is what I love about Scrubs. It's hilarious comedy, but suddenly it becomes deep and serious.

No, you have to switch the adjectives.

[@Tony-hv8wz]

@@koalabrownie that's because that's a comedy show first and foremost, this is a dramady. Big bang has a laugh track for crying out loud, it's not supposed to be super serious and deep.

[@SbsGrinth]

Out of the entire show, Cox is by FAR the deepest. Very well written character.

[@Scorpioncactusflower]

Elliot has this thing about getting pissed off and forgetting about what help she's ever gotten. Cox punching Kelso, when her med student screwed up and Carla lied to her and Cox reminded her that Carla was the one who kept the secret when she screwed up repositioning the swans. Seriously, when she gets pissy, she gets selfish and forgets everyone but herself.

[@DraculaCronqvist]

Elliot is always selfish and pissy.

[@tpbloomfield]

She's easily the worst character in the show, morally speaking. Never forget the time she slept with JD, then ditched him maybe an hour later because Shaun came back, then got pissy with JD for being angry about the whole thing and not being a supportive friend...and the show played it out like we were supposed to side with her??

[@Figs3]

It's difficult to remember those things when you're being made fun of and demoralized EVERY SINGLE DAY!

[@georgesmith6218]

didn't JD slept with her only to dump her in the morning?

[@oldfrend]

cox was the same massive bastard asshole to everyone, but only elliot was needy enough to actually cry about it. JD was (ironically) a man about it and just accepted the man for what he was. that was because JD was sensitive enough to see where it came from whereas elliot could never get past the superficial ranting lunatic on the surface. it was because dr. cox cared so much about his fellow man that it shattered him whenever he was disappointed or unable to help. so he put up the angry face as a defense against caring so much, because it hurt him so much. he says as much on the day JD finally leaves - that JD was the only one who ever cared as much as he did. really, very bruce wayne of him. elliot was a fool who was so obsessed with her own failings she was incapable of seeing the truth of those that mattered most to her life, and frankly i thought JD was too good for her.

[@anobjectiveninja]

Elliot has always been ungrateful to Dr. Cox. He has even punched Kelso in the face for her, but all she remembers is him being mean to her.

[@fishbord]

hes a dick

[@annajolie228]

Because for every time he has been nice, there is 100 times he has been horrible...just saying

Hey, he is mean because he need to be in that way to make his students stronger im a med student and i find that way much better than be a pussy crying all around, people die you have to deal with it. This show was good.

The I-hate-Cox chat room joke is one of the best in the entire show. Sarah Chalkes ability to deliver dry punchlines were often forced, but that one she nailed.

[@uppymcdowny58]

Did anyone else love that Dr. Cox loves JD's shirt idea? I dont know why that shit made me happy

[@lathumpipe]

For a show based on comedy (a bunch of it super silly, which I also loved), Scrubs also gave us some of the most tear jerking scenes ever filmed. Goddamn I loved this show.

[@iheartheathluck]

The stupid thing is, Elliot got treated better by Dr. Cox than JD did. And she was nothing but ungrateful.

[@Timbone07]

you can give me candy but if you stab enough, I might just die before the next candy comes along candy = nice things being stabbed = mean things

[@eduardsauermilch8164]

yeah but Dr. Cox only treated JD bad cause he wanted him to be the best, 110% everyday. He wanted him to be better then himself. He didn´t treat him Bad it was Harsh Love

[@InfernosReaper]

@@eduardsauermilch8164 The same applied to her, too, and why he fired Ed. Cox pushes them because he knows they can rise to meet the challenge and be better than they thought possible.

[@Nimbus3690]

your comment implies that the bad treatment is somehow entirely acceptable and not even the issue. "Nothing but ungrateful (to all the bad treatment that is less severe to JD's)." Way to justify the bad aspects of someone. No one should be mistreated for no reason. You act like if one person put up with it that it's somehow 'good'

[@InfernosReaper]

@@Nimbus3690 It's not that he's just a jerk to be a jerk most of the time. He's trying to get them to step up to put in their best. If they can't handle him, they certainly can't handle some of the patients or situations the job brings.

[@bloodsling]

JCM is a phenomenal actor

[@Metaltherebel92]

Elliot forgot that Cox basically risked his job for her when he punched Kelso in the face when he was trying to break her down. Except for that, in early seasons he was mostly a jerk to her lol.

[@PerfectAlibi1]

Dr Kelso wouldn't have fired him anyway. He was harassing a female employee, which would go down VERY badly for him. XD

[@jonathancampbell5231]

Radicaldanny up In the following episode Kelso implies that he TRIED to get him fired (or even arrested), but he found that despite Cox punching him in a room full of people nobody admitted to seeing anything

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

Just goes to show how hated Kelso actually was. It's easy to say Dr.Cox was the abrasive one everyone didn't like, but they DESPISED Kelso because, while Dr.Cox was fighting for the patients, Kelso was mostly fighting for the revenue stream and, while money is important to maintain a hospital, he did so at the expense of the actual people.

[@Alucard-gt1zf]

MetroidJunkie Kelso was hated because he wanted to be hated, he decided that everyone needed to be united in at least one thing which he decided would be their hate for him

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

Alucard That WAS the focal point of one episode but then you’ve got another one where he actually feels remorse over Cox’s patient dying due to being passed up for an experimental treatment but is just too proud to show it.

[@shamymanavie5096]

[@marcellXcatalyst]

I always wanted Elliot to be called out over things like this. It seemed more like she was jealous of JD and Cox's relationship. Cox was a dick to everyone including JD but he had deep moments with him...that happened because JD was unrelentless in his pursuit of Cox's aproval. Elliot just wanted the same special treatment with none of the effort.

I respect Dr. Cox for how he teaches and even though is an ass, he is the kind of guy that he's an ass when he has to be. Those are the guys that sacrifice more than most people know.

[@rshivesh3212]

People keep talking just about Cox punching kelso in the face for her, but Cox did a lot of other things as well. Yes he was mean a lot of the time, but in the first 2 seasons, he repeatedly reassured her and stopped making her doubt herself. In my old lady, he tells her not to doubt her call and that she made the right call. In the episode where Jill first was introduced, he completely ignored the fact that she disobeyed his order, made her realize she was too self-critical and then kindly told her to stop being so hard on herself. In the episode where she wants to be his go to intern, he calls her a good doctor when she won't call the time of death and tells her that she has to call it. He said she was a doctor with integrity to the private practice doctor and spoke like he was proud of her (after which she went into private practice anyway). He gave her advice on asking out that guy who wanted to go kayaking in new Zealand and told her he wanted to see her happy finally. And of course, he punched kelso. He repeatedly looked out for both JD and Elliot (and presumably all the other interns) so Elliot has no clue what she's talking about.

This show is what taught me about using humor to build drama. That is, allowing the humor to be humor, and puncturing it with a serious moment hits the harder by the contrast.

[@corvino630]

As a writer I love this scene because it's dramatic but also hate it because it makes no sense. Cox has stood up for Elliot multiple times and she was aware of it too. This seemed out of character for her. Her being angry at him mocking her makes sense but if she had something like "I was trying to look out for you and it's messed up you turned that against me" it would've made more sense for her character and would've made sense for Cox to feel bad about it

[@nina1522]

"With me, you've never been anything but an unsupportive bastard, and you know it." Well, there was the time Dr. Cox punched out Kelso for her, and when her patient died and Cox told her that it wasn't her fault. So, that's really unfair.

[@jimmyendacott1252]

Probably my favourite Scrubs moment. I laugh even when I think about it.

[@steeter6]

I love when he said your welcome he sounded like he was about to cry

[@tunes12569]

So I know that Elliot and Cox aren’t what you would call friends but I love this episode simply because it’s parallel to what Elliot went through in “my Old Lady” when she couldn’t decide on a treatment for her patient she needed to make a choice but was too scared. I think being able to admit that he was afraid was more than just a gesture of respect but a reminder to Elliot that even someone as skilled as dr Cox is capable of not knowing what choice to make

[@bISHOPawesome]

Dr. Cox: "Sure, I was projecting my own insecurities about being a parent, but I still risked a suspension and possible jail time to punch Dr. Kelso when he was being mean to you, and told you you were doing fine." Elliot: "You've never been anything but an unsupportive bastard to me."

[@ryanweible9090]

when you do one nice thing thats as selfish for you, hitting someone you hate, among a lifetime of being a jerk, it tends to get forgotten, a lot of people here seem to want to jump on elliot for needing a little different approach than what worked for one guy, cox is a complex character, he is not all bad, but he sure ain't all good.

[@trinsims7666]

One good thing doesn’t erase everything horrible thing. Besides Cox has always been the most selfish, egotistical asshole on the show he refuses to accept people doing nice things for him and gets pissy when other don’t accept the one on million times he’s a decent person. I will never understand the romanticizing of Cox he’s a wel written character but that doesn’t make him a good person.

I don't think that this is Elliot being a bad character, I think this is just Season 5's writers being bad writers, having forgotten that Cox did a lot of good things for her in previous episodes. Best evidence for this is Dr. Cox's face after Elliot says that he's always been unsupportive implies that Cox agrees with her.

[@georgesmith6218]

it is in character for her to forget these kind of things.

[@glenndallas7171]

Agreed. He punched out Kelso for her.

[@JonathanLundkvist]

The problem is that they have _several_ episodes where Elliot have to gain Dr Cox respect and ends with her getting it. It does not feel consistent.

[@ShayCat]

Agreed. She has loads of respect for him as a doctor, and seeing that she n JD started out together and constantly shadow Dr. Cox, JD is more of his go-to guy rather than Elliot...for anything really. She deserves that heart-to-heart with him.

the thing that is really telling here is the well written example of Elliot not really giving a crap about Perry, but coming at him and demanding he show her respect. You don't get respect because you want it, you get it when you've earned it and with Perry Cox it's a thing that requires you to put the patient first - and Elliot never did.

It's funny because at the end Cox shows that indeed he has changed. This is something he would not have done earlier. To admit to a weakness of his, something he's probably deeply ashamed of and even saying out loud hurts his pride tremendously to someone that is not a close confident of his, one of the few he would entrust such a personal revelation with, just to make them feel better and respected...that is incredible character development.

[@dustyaries]

Totally understood what Dr. Cox's leadership was about. I was a Platoon Sergeant in a unique platoon during the 2003 Iraqi Invasion. 20 males/20 females and an LT. I only had a few weeks to train them before the kick off. I didnt have time to cuddle them, build a rapport. I had to produce a combat ready platoon and it scared me that some of my people were gonna have them killed, either by enemy or by our own stupidity or even dumb luck. So, even though I was a kind spirit, I had to be an A-hole. I figured, being an A-hole to them, make them focus on either A. Impressing me by showing that they're better than me. B. Get angry at me and focus on doing their job effectively. C. Fear me and doing what's neccessary to complete the mission. D. Understood that all this was to have their mind focus on what I give them and not think of being killed. The one thing I couldn't show was I was vulnerable. I had tons of bouts of crying, though, I went off to a sand dune or a port-a-john and cried quietly alone. Once we finally established a F.O.B (Foward Operating Base), I slowly became that compassionate leader I wanted. At the end of 14 months, I had myself a family of Death Dealers. Finally, this scene with Elliott and Cox, was similar situation involving a Squad Leader (female) and myself. I pushed her harder than anything because she's was like me. Yet, I pushed her really hard that she'd closed off bit by bit. She got wounded during combat and I "flipped out" and got her out of there. I was guilt ridden. When I'd finally brought the courage to come and see her, she'd reacted not so well and she finally poured out her frustration and anger at me. Went on a rant about how until then, she respected me because I was tough yet, how I disregarded my safety to rescue her and jeopardized the mission, she was angry that I'd only rescued her was because I didn't want lose someone on my watch. I told her I totally agree with her. All of it was true with an addition...that bullet was supposed to be mine. She was taller than me. It hit her center of her chest. The shooter was ranged it for a shorter guy. That shooter was ranged for a headshot. That bullet was there for me and end my life...or at least have a canoe head. At that moment, I was vulnerable. I felt guilty to for her to convinced me to take point. She only wanted to show that she was worthy in my eyes. We both cried out our sorrows...then we had a laughing fit. (wtf are we crying about? Feel sad in being alive? Yeah ok!) Word spread to the Platoon that I was human, therefore, I added a new sense of respect.
