its actually incredible how little cultural impact this show has. It was so popular

I didn't even like this show too much, but I always quote "I hear it's like having a dog that learns to talk" when someone tells me they're having a baby.
It's one of the few shows I have left that nobody really knows about. Agreed anon, it was genuinely perfection for a medical comedy or whatever genre it was
It’s a well made show for sure. I grew up on it and i feel like the humor and drama shaped me in some ways. Listening to the podcast I realized they are all insufferable people, but the show itself is great.
black and white doctor are long time best friends that frequently joke about each others race with no pushback
this is how it used to be fellas, the black man was an equal at this point in time, but then they had to chimp out with all this virtue signaling crap
It's not that funny and gets less and less funny as the seasons go on.

There was some PRIME race jokes nearly on par with rush hour. We were inches away from racial peace.
It was about the secret romance of two interracial closeted homosexual simps. Everything else was just filler to hide the faggy undertones.
No medical shows have big lasting cultural impact. Not House, not ER, none of them
Depends on what you mean by culture. A lot more people went into the medical field because of this show. It arguably has a far greater cultural impact than some show that is clipped and used for means or is a popular topic among 40 year old basement dwellers.
Obama did it
the running gag that Turk always thinks Carla is Peurto Rican but she's Dominican
whats the biggest quote people might repeat without knowing it was from scrubs? like how people can't stop saying "that escalated quickly" without knowing anchorman
Al least you'll always have the T-Mobile commercials.
We were inches away from racial peace.
We really were. Blacks were starting to find the humor in their baboonisms. Boondocks wouldn't be allowed on major networks now.
Tons of people went, or tried to go to med-school because of that show.
ER, Scrubs, House and Greys Anatomy are responsible for more doctors than we want to believe.
Chris Tucker dropping facts about ghetto black people
regular blacks excelling in academics
several sitcoms with strong smart professional black lead characters
could literally say anything
90s and early 2000s were so great
Pure delusion, niggers always have and always will chimp, no matter the era. You are looking at the past through rose colored glasses.
Not exactly a quote but the song "poison" having a resurgence and Turk's dance, which is in Fortnight
Halo, Halo 2 and CoD probably changed the world of recruiting for the military
Comfy
if he had said she was haitian things would have gone down a lot different
tfw join the miitary because of Halo but never get to go to other planets or kill aliens, just guard oil fields in Iraq
how could this have happened
.....among women. Like Grey's Anatomy.
Women's shows have no impact.
Here is the list of women's shows that bear residual cultural relevance:
Sex and the City
16 Candles
Jersey Shore
what makes them culturally relevant?
I couldn't tell you, I didn't watch them, women just constantly still bring them up.
fortnite dance
It was so popular
Yeah, so popular it changed stations, and needed to constantly add eye candy characters to still exist. The show was ass, and for faggots.
set my friends browsers hompage to "guy love" on youtube and he didn't ever learn or care enough to change it back
It spawned one of the most memorable Anon Babble memes, lil broccoli head.
Check the fucking catalog.
Listening to the podcast I realized they are all insufferable people
any examples?
Nah, the black man was on the come up by the early 2000s. Race began to no longer matter for probably about 15 years and then Obama came to muck it all up.
little cultural impact
"Where do you think we are?"
it made the fortnight dance
They did a rewatch podcast during the pandemic. I don't know anything beyond that, I thought Faison and Braff were BFF, but they could be super cucked liberals now, who knows
I agree. I liked it a lot at the time, was never a huge fan but would sit and watch if I caught it on. The writing was just creative and good enough and the jokes hit just right most times. But yeah, after the show was over, was like i hadn't watched, just went about with whatever i was doing. I think this show deserves the moniker "Show about nothing" more than Seinfeld.
What did Metal Gear do for conspiracy theorists?
I talked to some guy I was friends with in high school for the first time in years and he said he was watching the show and he was really uncomfortable with how transphobic it was
Was it popular? I dunno about that one.
It was a 6/10 on average, but the good episodes/moments were 10/10
he's a homo
woah, gonna start watching it now
This was a time when you dressed as a girl for laughs and people understood the joke
i don't think transphobia existed before they got some ground around 2015 and are now known as the extra-predatory sex offenders rather than degenerate crossdressers who stick to their own social circles. nobody was "scared" of transformers
You and your friend deserve bad things
I'm sure there are other shows from this era too that do this, but I think it captured this era of comedy really really well. Everything was tastefully done
light political debate, nobody wanted to cut your head off at a disagreement
blacks and whites got along and ripped on each other
men and women could joke with each other
sex wasn't taboo but it also wasn't super openly discussed
what else?
To this day they run recruitment ads that boil down to
Check out these scifi toys we'll let you kill people with! FOR FREEDOM!
We were inches away from racial peace.
on who's terms?
who cares
it wasn't nostalgia, racial relations were universally better for whatever reason that may be
now they're probably the worst they've been in a long time
EAGLEEEEE
I dunno, we could be just having a repeat of the 1960s civil rights era 60 years later.
Complicated problems didn't have ONE CORRECT (and conveniently left-leaning) ANSWER AND IF YOU DISAGREE YOU'RE A DOUBLE PLUS WRONGTHINK UNGOOD PERSON for having a different perspective
Being gay was something to be a bit ashamed of. No one was going to burn you at the stake for cornholing another man, but just... keep it in the bedroom.
Being a bit socially awkward or a misanthrope didn't mean you were going to shoot up a school
Superiors/underlings could disagree, or even hate each other, without some underlying -ism being the actual reason
Men (even White ones) could order around woman subordinates and be right
cultural impact
tastefully done?
that just sounds like they never went full throttle and backed off from anything serious.
We could've had dark comedies or dramedies.
It was so popular
