10 Funniest Christmas TV Specials To Watch This Holiday Season
4. Scrubs - My Best Moment
My Best Moment is as funny as it is touching, like all great Scrubs episodes are. One criticism is that it doesn’t necessarily put Christmas front and centre the way a lot of others here do. However, familiar Christmas themes like family values do take the limelight, while the season itself is a constant presence in the background.
It starts with a premise that could easily have been a cheap clipshow, but instead they turn it into something sincere. JD is asked about his best moment in medicine, and initially gives a fairly goofy answer. However, when a young father is admitted to the hospital, the series regulars all combine to save him. In doing so, they each experience their own best moment.
The ‘black family at the movies’ trope that JD imagines is particularly funny, as Todd’s resurrection five on a flatlined patient. Perhaps best though is seeing Dr Cox in a wacky fantasy the way we normally see JD. After failing to get a scrunched up paper ball into the trash, he Heimlichs gum out of a choking man’s mouth and into another person’s mouth, before then Heimliching it into the bin.
