Scrubs - does anyone else think it isn't even remotely funny?

[Robbo]

I know that Scrubs is an extremely popular show, and I usually like most comedy programmes, but I just don't get why it's so popular.

I understand the jokes they are attempting to make, but they just strike me as incredibly lame and cringeworthy most of the time?

I've voiced this opinion among friends and they get rather defensive over the whole thing - "how can you not find it funny?!"

Admittedly, I haven't watched the series from the beginning, but I have seen entire episodes from various seasons - it doesn't seem remotely entertaining. Maybe I need to watch the first few episodes of season 1 to get a better understanding of it?

Does anyone else not understand what all the fuss is about?

No...

Although I must admit I don't normally LOL at it, it's more highly amusing than LOL funny if that makes sense.

 

[loltim]

No

 

[deusexlumina]

i love it, but each to thier own. I can't stand "the mighty boosh" i think its utter trollop, but some people i know will defend it to the end of the earth

 

[Shamikebab]

It was brilliant but it declined after season 4 or 5 and then got atrocious at the end.

 

[DanTheMan]

It's never been laugh out loud funny, however I enjoy the light hearted life lessons it portrays in each storyline. It makes me smile more than it makes me laugh.

Nope - tried to like it but just couldn't do it.

 

[bledd]

I like it, but it's not a patch on Malcolm In The Middle.

The janitor is awesome

 

[Mr-White]

Watched the earlier stuff which was quite funny, not sure about the newer stuff though.

It used to amuse me for a while, there where loads of repeats all over a couple of years ago, got bored of it though.

Im with you on both Scrubs and Mighty Boosh.

I just don't get it!

Edit: Don't even get me started on Mrs Brown's Boys!!!

I love scrubs. Up until about season 6 it's great. 7 and 8 are ok and 9 is pretty terrible.

As has been said it's not laugh out loud funny except for the odd occasion but it's generally amusing.

 

[Russinating]

No, never have.

 

[mtrent10202]

Should never have made season 9. Usually gets a few chuckles from me. Easy viewing.

 

[theonebillygunn]

Completely agree with OP. Do not like it one bit, but everyone else I know loves it. I just think it is highly over rated.

 

[antijoke]

My GF watches it sometimes, I don't find it funny in the slightest.

I have found it absolutely dire in the few occasions that I have been unfortunate enough to watch it.

Boring, camp and just a load of rubbish.

Pretty much this, it doesn't make me laugh like a maniac but it gets a smile.

This.

TV comedy in subjectivity shocker!

Ignoring the most recent seasons (which are terrible), the first 5 were very good (imo), especially when you compare it to the likes of Two and a Half Men.
