  • I love this so much

    I love even more that they literally are their characters from the show😆Each one is like a whole new episode of Scrubs (actually, it’s like an old episode). “Donald, why are you yelling!”

  • When they talk about making a funny show it is great. When they go off the rails talking nutty politics, you end up skipping big chunks of the episode while they try to decide what is ok and not ok to say anymore.
