Kim: Don't you miss me?
J.D.: Of course I do!
J.D.'s Narration: But the truth was, I didn't. And then I had this weird, crystallizing moment. You see, there's an age-old principle you hear a lot about in medicine; that the simplest, most obvious answer is usually the correct one. It's called Occum's Razor.
[Later in the narration]
J.D.'s Narration: In my case, it was never about sabotaging myself. It was the simple answer, just like Turk said: I had knocked up a girl on our first date, and I don't have strong feelings for her, and probably never will. And the only reason we're still together is because there's a kid involved. Which means I'm going to stay with her until the very end, whether I love her or not. (edit) Dr. Cox: If you want to lose the nickname, you've gotta lose the beard. But then you'd be Doctor Face.
Dr. Kelso: Hah! Doctor Face!
Dr. Beardface: Damn you all!! (edit) Janitor: Would you be interested in seeing a cognitive therapist? Because I know a guy, he's good. I'm gonna give you his card, then I'm gonna bash your head in. I'll see you in the morning.
J.D.: I'm in at seven.
Janitor: Wear a helmet. (edit) J.D.: Who's named Lady?
Janitor: She is! Got a brother named Him. (edit) (To The Janitor)
J.D.: Hello? Oh yes, he's here. It's the Truth calling. Wants to know why you never tell it. (edit)
J.D.: Of course I do!

When Elliot is breaking up with Keith, and everybody is watching, at first there is no one behind J.D. Yet in the next shot, a man wearing a green t-shirt stands behind him. In the shot after, he's gone, and once again he appears in the next shot.
(edit)
Kit Pongetti, who guest stars as the Janitor's girlfriend, Lady, made a guest appearance briefly in "My Philosophy" (S02 E13) as Dr. Mitchell, the woman on fellowship who was in the office next to Dr. Kelso.
(edit)
When J.D. is naming all the girls he broke up with (Mole-Butt, Tina TwoKids, RumpleFugly, etc'), Turk tells him that they were all wrong for him, except for "Mole-Butt". According to "Her Story II", Mole-butt is Elliot.
(edit)
In the "House" episode "Ugly" airing November 13, 2007, Dr. House also had to deal with a patient who had all the symptoms of Lyme Disease but with no sign of the target-shaped bite. It was when "Thirteen" was reviewing older pictures of the patient that she noticed some discoloration at his hairline. In a Cox-like epiphany, she decided to shave the patient's head to see the target.
(edit)
J.D. is claiming that his ex-girlfriend Stacy from college broke up with him by arranging it so that he would catch her and Turk in the middle of having relations. J.D. says: "I still have nightmares about your cheeks Turk, just bouncing and bouncing".
This contradicts the story told in My Fishbowl (and also previously in My Coffee) about this event. There it was told that J.D. walked in on them lying under the sheet after the actual act. (edit)

The title of the episode "My Own Worst Enemy" is similar to the song of the same name performed by the band Lit.

Hoosiers
J.D. states that he watched Hoosiers last night.
Hoosiers was a movie that was released in 1986 starring Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper. The movie was based on the 1954 Indiana State high school basketball champions, the Milan Indians. (edit) Tony Shalhoub
After winning Dr. Cox's "Annual Who-Cares-Award", J.D. says, "Suck on that, Tony Shalhoub!"
Tony Shalhoub stars in the hit show Monk, and has won many awards including Emmies and Golden Globes. Coincidentally, Zach Braff, the character who plays JD, has in reality lost to Tony Shalhoub for the Best Actor Emmy award, twice. (edit)
