Scrubs: My Buddy's Booty

scrubs my buddys bootyJ.D. is still broken up over breaking up (heh) with Julie in the last episode. As a possible cure, Carla and Turk suggest he and Elliot commence with the booty calls. Not with each other, mind you, but each one should pick out one of their interns to have a fling with....OK I'm going to stop right there. It's one thing to suggest to a morose friend that they hit a bar and take their chances. It's another thing to say "go pick, from among people you supervise, which one you're going to have no-strings-attached sex with." Am I right? Doesn't it seem like Carla and Turk were advocating something along the lines of sexual harassment?

Anyway, much of the episode deals with J.D.'s growing dislike of his intern, Keith. Keith is getting kind of cocky, in J.D.'s opinion. There's also a growing friendship between The Janitor and Dr. Cox, who bond over drinks while comparing their mutual hatred of...well, just about everything. The two commence to pick on their favorite target: J.D.

While our good Dr. Dorian is having problems with the booty call, Elliot isn't. Unfortunately for J.D., her partner of choice is his nemesis, Keith.

Now, the episode as a whole was pretty good (aside from just a sad under-use of Jordan, who only popped up twice to taunt Cox), but this whole booty call thing is bugging me. A booty call, as I understand it, is when two friends or exes call each other up for just a quick physical fling. Selecting a co-worker like you're making a choice from the supermarket deli is something a bit different. It's almost too impractical and unrealistic to make much sense or be funny.

The booty call was definitely a Grey's Anatomy reference. The show was totally a dig at Grey's, with the one obvious example which made me do a spit take:

J.D.: "I love Grey's Anatomy. It's like they took our lives and put it on T.V."

A booty call can also be a person where you have a casual arrangement for regular late-night action on relatively short notice. It's not a relationship, nor even remotely a friends-with-benefits kind of situation. It's more of an understanding that you can call him/her and get some as long as you're willing to do the same in return.

I think thier use of the "booty call" is a spoof of Grey's Anatomy.

the odd Booty Call situation was excusable since they finally called out Greys Anatomy. If only more people watched scrubs and realized how derivative and overly dramatized Greys is... i'd at least have more people to laugh with at the least.

Not only that, but she keeps having sex with him! A "booty call" is a one-and-done thing, right? You call, they come, you do it, they leave. If you have a regularly intimate arrangement, you've got yourself a relationship. And an inappropriate one at that since a) he is a co-worker, b) he reports directly to your ex-boyfriend/roommate, and c) he has no problem wearing J.D.'s pink bathrobe.

The highs:
The Janitor's new A-Team van
The Todd's "Ride Me" T-shirt
J.D.'s "urination" bombshell
"Pop and lock", not "pop and dangle"
