9. Dr Bob Kelso Scrubs
Let me break this down for you, Bobbo style! Everybodys favourite aging patriarch with a penchant for Asian strange, Bob Kelso is the only Chief of Medicine to dominate a T.V. series long after hes forced to retired ... fuelled on free muffins alone. Sure Dr. Cox was the master of the put down but a true Wise Ass has to be much more than that. Kelso is the master of the retort.
Nurse Carla: Well take that raise nowBob Kelso: OK, but in this little fantasy of yours can I not have prostate problems! This is just one of a hoard of Kelso-quotes which are, not only memorable, but adaptable for the layman too; the mark of an excellent Wise Ass. Always giving! Any fan of Scrubs who hasnt responded to a real life complaint with Who has two thumbs and doesnt give a crap? before pointing to and full naming himself, has to be harbouring a sloth-like wit.
Dr. Cox: Thanks to your little gesture, she actually believes that the earth is full of people who, deep down, are filled with kindness and caring!Dr Kelso: Well thats absurd. People are bastard-coated bastards with a bastard filling. Its the sheer joy with which Kelso doles out his Wise Ass-ery. He effortlessly encapsulates all that a veteran in any field must feel once theyve reached the peak of his/her profession. That perfect cocktail of complacency and wit is the comedy equivalent of Liam Neesons character in Taken. Everybody hopes that, if ever theyre in his position, theyd be able to do exactly the same with equal aplomb.
