My favorite bit is at the beginning, where everyone is just like "Sure, go for it". They know the Janitor is going to do this with or without permission.
That way the Janitor never got fired despite being a terrible Janitor always made me think that he had way more power than believed. Watching Scrubs for the first time I was honestly waiting for the big reveal that the Janitor isn't actually a Janitor, but a bored billionaire who actually owns the hospital.

@@Legendary_sartorian Most likely also cause Janitor is just playing around which lets him to focus on the job only, while Kelso has been in the job for so long so he half-assed his way, I mean we see him using the hospital funds for personal entertainment in past episodes and likely just bought a lower quality stuffs for the hospital
That line taught me that the best way to insult someone is to say something that makes them so confused that they not even certain if they have been insulted.
See, the Janitor was most interesting when he wasn't bothering JD. It's when he was doing things like this. He actually did things as the Chief of Medicine.
2:19 " Hmm...Fax this to someone. " *hands Ted a entire medical book* ROFL hahahaah he doesnt even specify who to send it to, and i can only imagine the person on the other end getting page after page like " WHAT THE FUCK?! "
Did it ever occur to anybody the reason why the janitor is rarely actually seen doing janitorial work is because he’s actually the head of the department. Most heads of departments don’t actually work in their departments all the time. Think about how often Celso actually sees patients
2:20 "fax this to someone.." pass a whole book to ted.. i laughed for a long time..on the way back to my home, people think i'm crazy.. the janitor just made my day..
Whenever I see a comment that says "Like if your still watcching in 2012" I always reply with "I'm watching this on a future phone. By the way, sell all your gasoline, everything now runs on potatoes".
I always thought in the later series Janitor was gonna get promoted to head of maintenance like how turk was chief of surgery, cox chief of medicine and carla was head nurse.
The reason his Pen and Paper Group booted him was not that he brought an actual warhammer. It was that he brought a warhammer to a Lord of the Rings game.
The bit about the Warhammer is especially funny because one of the later editions of WFRP's critical hit charts were written by a medical doctor for extra realism. I think that happened a few years after this episode, though.
"Let's make cancer feel foolish!"
I love Scrubs.
Dr.Jan Itor.
Dr Jan Pol is better ^^
I hope Ted makes it feel foolish
Now that Sam Lloyd has passed, it’s a saddening joke now.
"Let's go find a cure for polio!"
The funniest part about this is the Janitor being an actually really effective chief of medicine
That's "Doctor" Jan Itor to you
GenericSideCharacter Oh my apologies
Podiatrist. He also buys and sells feet
He did make money with the daycare
Just one of the many facets making up this mysterious man!
My favorite bit is at the beginning, where everyone is just like "Sure, go for it". They know the Janitor is going to do this with or without permission.
It will keep him from bothering people all day like he normally does.
Everyone except Jordan. She minded.
He is only natural

Watching Scrubs for the first time I was honestly waiting for the big reveal that the Janitor isn't actually a Janitor, but a bored billionaire who actually owns the hospital.
He did get fired once
It was originally intended that the janitor was just a figment of JD's imagination. Early on JD was the only one the janitor talked to.
That would have been the fucking best ending tbh
@@therussmeister Maybe the Janitor really is a figment of JD's imagination he made real through sheer willpower.
@@schwarzerritter5724 sheer willpower and JD in the same sentence?
The way he says “Jack...what are you doing??” KILLS ME

Same here.
Like Jack had any kind of control being there😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
[Hands over an 800-page textbook without looking] "Fax this."
This is exactly what I'd be like if I had underlings, and exactly why I mustn't have any.
"fax this TO SOMEONE" makes it even better
If I ad underlings I'd make them do jumping jacks for hours on end just because I could
Ill make them wax my crevices bc im not that close with anyone.

Amazingly, it is super easy to be a great person in power when your decisions carry 0 potential risk...
sell all your gasoline stocks, everything runs on potatoes
wrong. he's always right.
Screw potato juice. Methanol's where it's at.
@@maxscott3349 Methanol is made by the fermentation of high calorie products... Such as potatoes.
Although sadly more of it is made from natural gas.

2021, can confirm. Mash potato fuel is indeed the future - oh, and buy a shit ton of Gamestop Stocks. Don't forget surgical masks...
I love the insinuation that the janitor plays in a lotr group but when they asked to play warhammer he brought an actual warhammer.
well, given how janitor only does his job like half the time and has never been fired, he must have some kind of position of power
***** Fear. Pure and simple.
***** And probably money, too. Seriously, I bet he's secretly pretty loaded.
He did get fired by Maddox

I guess she didn't know...

"You don't look Asian"
I would've loved to have heard that Janitor story.

+journey1186 By the way sell all your gasoline stocks. Everything now runs on potatoes.
"Gilcrist, please."
"...and you, nurse Epenema."
XD
CptChaos47 It's Ipanema, as in "The Girl From..."
Janitor plays that song in the relaxation room in some episodein season 5, cool little connection :D
@@alluurpo that just goes to show you that the Janitor made a lot of lines up himself.
I like to think he improvised the 'Nurse Ipanema' line, because Carla looks so genuinely baffled and caught off-guard by that.
Given that he improvised a LOT of his lines, it's probable that that was ad-libbed.
That line taught me that the best way to insult someone is to say something that makes them so confused that they not even certain if they have been insulted.
Rest In Peace Sam Llyod, Ted was one of the best parts of the show
Ted was a follower
"Listen here young doctor Gilchrist"
"uuuuuhhhh, that's, that's not my name."
"Gilchrist, please."
Gotta love the Janitor
See, the Janitor was most interesting when he wasn't bothering JD. It's when he was doing things like this. He actually did things as the Chief of Medicine.

That makes sense plus he has power over other custodians
Wow. He's a far more effective administrator than Kelso.

I've never noticed before, but around 0.55 mark, is that an 80+ year old nurse standing by the desk when Ted walks by?
“Gilchrist, please.” These two words are just funny as hell to me. 🤣😂

Best chief of medicine... ever
Dr. Jan Itor’s tenure as chief of medicine was a brief one, but it was very successful.
"Nurse Ipanema"!!! OMG Carla's face. Love SCRUBS!!
I laughed so hard at the end. Whenever you want to get out of trouble, use bribery.
It is the most effective and quickest option
0:12
I love how everyone is so supportive
When he called Carla Nurse Ipanema, it's so good Carla can't even respond lmaooo
Chief-O Medicine!
I always thought in the later series Janitor was gonna get promoted to head of maintenance like how turk was chief of surgery, cox chief of medicine and carla was head nurse.
Miss this show
"Ted what you doing?"
"I'm a follower!"
"...Walks wrong way"
Got to love ted!
He does turn and walk the correct direction, so he realized his mistake.
Bob Kelso is the most perfect and well-played character in TV Show history.
Shiit, that was pure class from start to finish. Can't believe i hadn't seen it before.
This is hands down my favorite episode of scrubs.
Polio's not gonna know what hit it
Jack: "Hi dad"
Dr. Cox: "Jack? W-w-what are you doing?"
"By the way, sell all your gasoline stocks. Everything now runs on potatoes!"
Classic.
It's the bit where he randomly sends Ted to fax the huge book I like. It just adds something awesome.
Poor Ted he's always getting bullied
carol zebra yeah but he gets laid a few times
He at least got a happy life at the end
You're a true fan when you noticed Doctor Colonel Sanders in the background often in the series.
"Fax this to someone." and of course Ted takes that gigantic book.
Ted is probably one of the saddest characters on TV ever.
Ted's vacation pay? What vacation pay? Ha ha ha, get out of here XD
his own son had been sitting there the whole time and Cox hadn't even noticed??
"What's your name again?" "TEDDY BUCKLAND!"
I love that the easier solution to fixing the painting was to just take his face off the painting but he instead put ANOTHER face over the first one
RIP Ted. You were the best follower.
0:48 Ted: “I’m a follower.”
(marches off to the beat of his own drum)
Theory: Janitor is a reality warper
Nurse Ipanima is gold.
I love how he says "LET'S MAKE CANCER FEEL FOOLISH!"
I love ted's face he puts on the portrait. LOL
2:22-2:52 is pure gold.
The reason his Pen and Paper Group booted him was not that he brought an actual warhammer. It was that he brought a warhammer to a Lord of the Rings game.
the phonecall from kelso to the janitor is one of the best scenes ever
Neil Flynn truly is an unmatched talent
What would Scrubs be without the Janitor? Oh yeah, watch Season 9. Where did you go Janitor!?
"Let's make cancer feel foolish!"
"Jack? What are you doing ?"
Hahaha Janitor does a great mickey-take of Kelso! When he says 'Let's make cancer feel foolish' and clenches his fists like that, that's epic!
THIS kind of thing is why Janitor is my favorite character.
Why did the Janitor not remove his face before putting Ted's up there?
He wants to be found out at some point, I guess
"...Chief O' Medicine"
The bit about the Warhammer is especially funny because one of the later editions of WFRP's critical hit charts were written by a medical doctor for extra realism. I think that happened a few years after this episode, though.
Yeah, that was fun!
When he tells Ted to fax a huge medical book to someone always makes me laugh.
The hospital needs you! I need you!
Man I wish someone said that to me...
He just sounds like the Doctor from classic Doctor Who
He must of cut Ted's vacation pay because he didn't fax that dictionary.
Dr Cox: Oh, Janitor, you are natural.
He actually did a pretty good job
I believe this is the janitor that inspired House
I love how at 2:49 Janitor nods at Kelso's threat: "Challenge Accepted, good sir"
Ted knows who he is.
Never noticed the nurse lean in with the thumbs up before
No, Hooch is crazy!
