I love Scrubs, but Dr. Cox doesn’t do much for me.
Dr. House, on the other hand, sets my heart aflutter, *despite *having seen him in *Blackadder *and Jeeves & Wooster.
I’d do him and he wouldn’t even have to buy me dinner. Totally hawt.
Now if only people can be that witty all the time in real life without 40 writers to write the lines.
The thing I hate about Scrubs is that when you have multiple people that are kind of Cranky, they resemble each other. I can’t remember her name, but the new Surgery Doctor that gave Turk grief. She did the whole rant monologue thing and it sounded like a female version of Dr. Cox. Seriously writers, learn to make characters “sound” different. People like Perry aren’t a dime a dozen, so don’t make them all sound ranty like him.
I wish they’d give him some sex scenes so i could live vicariously through the female character.
Yes, Dr. Cox is hawt! How have I missed seeing his abs!!!
One cannot be Dr. Cox, Dr. Cox is a ultimate state one must strive for and always fall just short of.
Anyone who can be that angry and that articulate and sarcastic at the same time get’s my vote.
According to IMDb, it’s John Cusack.
I can’t get enough, myself. Cox is singlehandedly bringing the witty insult back from whence it was buried under a mountain of profanity.
I actually find it surprisingly easy to rant like Cox. It’s not so much being angry, as anger tends to cloud my mind and make it harder to be articulate, as it is just not being nice or sympathetic to the target.
My kids and I love Scrubs (my husband’s gotten tired of it) and the quickest way I can get my daughter out of one of her moods is to coo, “I’m touching your creamy center!”
When she says something play insulting, I say, “That hurts here (pointing to my head) and here.” (pointing to my heart)
There are a lot of good lines, and maybe it’s overload (I can catch four shows in a row if I want) but every once in awhile my eyes glaze over during a Cox rant.
My son wants to be Cox. I’ve told him that he is still a teenager, so until he is in a position of power, being a sarcastic smart ass may not be the best way to win friends and influence people.
Great character Dr. Cox. I always remember the actor from Platoon where he played the weasel like underling to Tom Berenger’s character. Took me several seasons to get over that.
I never saw Platoon, but I remember the actor from an episode of Spenser: For Hire in which he played a kid in his mid-20s whom Spenser had sent to jail for gambling, got beaten and raped on the inside, and emerged a vengeful psychopath. It was a very memorable performance, and the transition to Cox was easy to believe.
I get a kick out of the being in love with “Blonde Doctor” substory.
Love Dr. Cox.
“If the next two words out of your mouth aren’t ‘See ya’, then the third will be 'Oh-my-god-my-crotch,-you-punched-me-in-my-crotch.”
And I’m forgetting - was it Cox or Kelso who came up with “bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling”? Gold.
Cox said it first, then Kelso later said it and Cox said “that’s what I said” (referring to *their distaste of * Dr Clock’s (Heather Graham) uber sunny outlook on life - she, the creator of the “touching your creamy center” thing mentioned above)
I think McGinley is a fine actor. He can do obnoxious attending, but when JD or Elliot touch a nerve, you can see the look of chagrin on his face, like, “Oh, my God, Newbie/Barbie has a point.”
I just wanted to say I love scrubs…and I can’t get the image of Jack punching Dr. Cox in the crotch and shouting “Man check!” out of my head.
I went to college with a guy who could rattle of the clever rants a la Perry Cox - I keep checking the list of writers for Scrubs for that guy’s name, but I haven’t seen it yet.
Dr. Cox? 
Oh!! Do you mean Him?
That. Was. Well, check it out; however, am I just really slow? What’s this got to do with Dr. Cox. Maybe I wasn’t paying close enough attention.
