10 Worst Scrubs Episodes

10. My Life In Four Cameras ( Season 4 Episode 17)

In this episode, Scrubs goes from a single camera to a multi camera show when J.D fantasises about what life would be like as a sitcom; laugh track and all. Amongst the madness, Dr. Kelso and Dr. Cox argue about budget cuts and J.D and Elliot discover their patient has lung cancer.

Why it sucks: This episode was an attempt to be meta but instead just highlighted the fact that the writers couldn't come up with any decent jokes for this episode. The cringey, tacky and stereotypical jokes were clearly an attempt to mock the sitcom style of comedy but that message didn't come across well enough. I am aware it's hard to keep things fresh, especially four seasons in, but this seemed like a lazy way to try and disguise the same played out storyline: Kelso wants to cut the budget and Cox doesn't want him to.

What doesn't suck: Despite the failed parody attempt, they did highlight the problem sitcoms have with stereotyping women by dressing all the female employees in push up bras and high heels whilst the male nurses were topless and only wore boxer shorts. Also, The Janitor's comedy routine was amazing.
