Maybe it was because it was around 2 in the afternoon and I was in a really good mood, or possibly because this episode was just that good, but I found this to be the funniest episode yet!
First thing I noticed were the excellent camera angles. J.D. introduces the audience to a surgeon that spent a few years traveling around the world performing surgery on children and I immediately knew he wasn’t going to be of importance or respected because of the camera angle they showed him. They showed him from an extremely high camera angle so that the audience is looking down on him, making him appear small. Right after I thought this Dr. Kelso finishes telling everyone who he is and asks if anyone has any questions for him but no one does, Dr. Kelso then says “See I told you no one cares”.
The second camera angle I liked was when Carla, the new surgeon (who turns out to be someone she had history with) and J.D. are in the cafeteria. Carla and the surgeon are on one side talking and catching up and J.D. is shown across from them directly in the middle of their conversation. You then hear what J.D. is thinking, about him hating being around people with history and him mocking their conversation. I found this so funny, I always like when you can hear the characters thoughts and they’re reacting to the situation without saying anything. As usual the last thing they say makes sense to us, but leaves them looking crazy to the characters in the show. J.D. must do this about 15 times an episode. I love it.
The first scene that actually made me literally laugh out loud was when Carla asks J.D. “You flirt sometimes, it’s harmless right?” and then J.D. has a flashback of him hitting on a woman in an elevator. She asks if he wants her to push his button and he suggestively replies “I don’t know…can I press yours?” and then she proceeds to beat him with her purse. What was so funny was that J.D. is so pathetic he really looked like he was getting beat up.
The one storyline that I didn’t find that funny and actually on the verge of disturbing was the Janitor pretending to have this creepy twin brother. The whole episode he is trying to convince J.D. and Turk that he has this brother “Rosco” but it just doesn’t work out. The sweet part of it though is at the end J.D. tells him he almost believed it to make him feel better, and it works, but when they leave J.D goes to put his arm around him and Janitor replies “Too much”. J.D. then pats his ass. It was weird but cute.
I’d rate this episode a four because there were so many hilarious scenes. I think what made it so funny was that the theme was light. It was about Carla and Turk getting over their doubts about marrying each other but it was really silly and easy to laugh at.
I had to leave you this video, enjoy.
