Why is there so much Scrubs poo poo on Imgur? There is a bizarrely huge amount of posts about a very mediocre TV show that hasn't been on the air for what, ten years?

JD was a dumb nerd dweeb, who is bullied by both his professional superiors and those some would see as beneath him in Dr. Cox and Janitor. He also has a hip friend and got together with several women through out the series. It's easily relatable to imgur idiots except for the parts with the hip friend and the sex.

Wow there Scrubs is a good show. In my memory at least :v:

The site is made for posting gifs and stuff and when you're not funny yourself, well why not just steal the jokes professional writers wrote.

I have the same question but replace Scrubs with Firefly.

I think Firefly really benefited from the nerd cargo cult thing and just became sort of a martyr. I mean the show itself is ok imo, I kinda like the space western stuff, but it's not really as amazing as some people seem to think it is.

TBH half of imgur is just in love with anything Joss Whedon touched.

I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?



Outside of nerds being nerds: JD was an rear end in a top hat quite often (you know like real people) and comes across like a minor version of the people thinking Walter White can't be a bad guy/rear end in a top hat because he is the main character, so he's the hero you guys!.

Scrubs was great though. :colbert:

As if the world needed more proof that Imgur was made up of horny, lonely teenage boys

Maybe they think feminism just means "women", that's the only way that makes sense.

Although what makes them think the women would even care when they'd have their own sex robots?

Every character except the grumpy mentor doctor was just straight up obnoxious and unpleasant 99% of the time. I'm guessing that's why imgur users relate to them.

Browncoats make me hate Firefly. It was an okay show for the time, but to hear them talk about it, its like Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Deadwood all rolled into one. Also, a lot of the space western stuff got annoying after a while. Okay I can understand that there are fringe planets that aren't as wealthy and high tech as others, and horses are better than nothing, but why would everyone dress in 1880s clothing. But it got to be a show about hats then.

These are fine when they're short and have jokes but holy poo poo, does anyone have time to sit there and follow these flowcharts? I like how the "what to eat one" starts off "are you in Japan", loving Weebs. Not everything is about Japan! I like Japanese stuff, but its not automatically making things better. Though Green Tea Kitkats are pretty good. The only one that's almost the right length is the Horse one, but even then its way to long.

Help, I'm overthinking this. On the one hand, Imgur turned into loving garbage during the Micheal Brown shooting. And Eric Garner, Freddie Grey, etc. So now I'm thinking maybe they're right, because the thought of hordes of people rushing to log in/ sign up to imgur to post about how it was a good shoot seems silly.

Anyway, the comments are a mix of 'nah' and 'loving PC police!'

To a weeaboo, every day they're not in Japan is hell, so they'll know.

Yea, the first joke could be funny if it was told the right way. I'll never get the "jews are greedy" thing, because from what I see, everyones greedy. But then racism isn't rational.

(Yes I am aware of the historical origins of the sterotype, but the fact its used today bugs the hell out of me. Because when i think of greed, I think of old white guys).
