ALLUSIONS

  • The Far Side:
    There is a scene in which J.D. fantasizes about a hospital where the patients are treated like horses and the doctors carry shotguns. J.D. cocks the shotgun as he says to a patient with a broken leg: "I am sorry Mr. Larson, but I do not like the look of that leg." This is a parody of one of Gary Larson's "Far Side" cartoons. edit »
  • The Fonz:
    When the Janitor makes his first cardboard cutout of J.D. and stands next to it, Dr. Kelso walks by and tells the J.D. cutout that he is paid to work, not to act like The Fonz. Dr. Kelso says this because the cutout of J.D. is giving the thumbs up.

    The Fonz was a character on the TV show "Happy Days" played by Henry Winkler. He was famous for giving the thumbs up and saying "aaaay." edit »
  • Chicago Cubs:
    The Janitor asks J.D. how depressing it is being himself. One of the things the Janitor compares J.D.'s depression to is being a "lifelong Cub fan."

    The Cubs, a Major League Baseball team, have not won a World Series since 1908 and seemingly break the hearts of their fans every season. edit »
