idk about the whole show, haven't seen much of scrubs, but Community also has fantastic bits on death in the episode where Pierce's mom died. it has a great subplot which happens entirely visually in the background throughout the episode ending in Abed helping deliver a baby in the back of an SUV... And the delivery is shown for just a brief moment as Pierce's mom, in the recording she made from before she died, narrates something like "that's what life is - you're supposed to stuff it full of every mistake and miracle you can possibly fit." I guess what I'm trying to say is, there's enough good stuff out there to make me cry a million times over and still laugh at the end of it.

Death is the nemesis of the medic, regardless if they are a carer, nurse, doctor or paramedic; but it’s something that we learn we have to work with irregardless. It’s a distant friend we accept the presence of.

This is my favorite scene in Scrubs. It's not the most heartwrenching, or funny, or noteworthy. It's quiet, and the atmosphere is muted. It's how many people pass on. Like the Bojack Horseman quote, "There's no shame in dying for nothing. That's why most people die." It actually gives me comfort. I honestly hope my last thought is a good one.

For me this scene is fcking deep

I personally feel that as much as everyone loves Scrubs, as much as it is held in high regard as one of TV's best comedies, I still feel that the character development in this show is under-rated. JD started the show as a nervous dork who couldn't even place an IV in a patient without freaking out. Turk started the show as an immature jock who thought he was both God's gift to surgery as well as God's gift to women. Over time they became so much more. They became two of the best doctors to ever work at Sacred Heart. Turk became a brilliant but caring surgeon, a devoted husband, a father, and the Chief of Surgery. JD became a brilliant and confident doctor that would never back down in the face of pressure and always took a stand against anything he knew was wrong. I know how cliche this is going to sound, but we really saw JD and Turk go from boys to men during the course of this show. This has rarely been more evident, and I have rarely been more proud of the both of them, than in this episode. Taking care of someone, making sure they don't die alone and afraid, that's the mark of a true hero. Maybe I'm putting too much thought into it. Maybe this comment has gone on for a bit too long. So I'll end with this: I think Scrubs isn't just one of the best comedy shows they ever put on TV, I think it's one of the best shows period. Scenes like these will keep me rewatching forever.

Zach and Donald have been doing a Scrubs Rewatch podcast since 2020. Highly recommend it.

Maybe one of the most bittersweet moments in TV history

One of the hardest scenes; felt so sorry for George

I was going to comment this on the Hallelujah episode, but this is what set Scrubs apart from any other medical/comedy tv show on earth.

This scene got me into the song "I Will Follow You Into the Dark."

I remember watching this episode on tv when it came out and this part I looked over and my brother along g with myself both had tears running down our faces.

God, this show could have you laughing so hard one minute you almost cried, then at the end had you ugly crying with scenes like these….I love this show so much.

This really gets me thinking. We all have to face this moment one day. Some of us will know when the time has come, some of us won't. Either way I am really hoping for all of us, that our last thoughs will be good ones.

I love how Scrubs starts with uncontrollable chaos, its then replaced by controllable chaos as the characters grow but it ends with quiet, personal moments. It has frustrations and downfalls but the overall experience is a good one

These episodes always hit hard but damn In his last moments George realized that jd was right and so he decided that his last thoughts would be of the great taste of that beer an so he smiled even in the face of death

I literally can't hear this song without crying. Thanks Scrubs 😒😭

Chatting and laughing with friends while having a delicious drink, and then slowly going to sleep. That is actually or a bad way to die. Goodbye George 😢

This is my most favorite scene of scrubs, and one of the most underrated

I hate this scene. So damn much. Its the best television scene I've ever watched.

last year I was a newly minted doc. Wife was out of town for work for a few weeks so Id always hang around the hospital for dinner and there was a patient I had I'd shoot the shit with all evening for at least 2 weeks. He was really sick but was turning the corner. One day I get to work and found out he passed overnight. Still one of the hardest losses. I watch this episode sometimes because it reminds me of the conversations we used to have.

I saw this episode on Netflix a few years ago. Several months earlier, my mom had gone in for major, emergency surgery. I was worried, of course, but the whole thing happened so quickly (she ultimately was fine, the surgery was a success) that I never really had a chance to properly process it. Then one day, I'm sitting down, watching this episode. Watching this poor guy, forced to confront his imminent mortality, and JD and Turk admitting their fear of death, reminded me of what my mom went through. Suddenly, everything hit me all at once, and I began to cry uncontrollably, finally confronting the terror and sadness I felt at the possibility of losing my mother. This was an amazing episode...

Glad she made it

George being completely alone only to have JD and Turk spend the night with him as he passed... that's probably the sweetest and saddest moment in the history of television.

The fact that this show is commonly forgotten is criminal

All these years and I still can’t watch this without crying

I watched this episode on my phone, in the caf, freshman year of college. It made me cry, and I called my mom after to say all sorts of stuff. And she was just put off like, why is my crying son calling me from the damn food hall to talk about some tv show. This episode had a major impact on me.

it's been so long since i've seen an episode of scrubs but just watching this scene again made me cry, it's so powerful. I have serious Death Anxiety and George's mindset is the best representation of how i feel about death "I just can't get over the fact that one minute i'm here and the next i'm not". No matter how much I try to rationalize it or make peace with it, the fear doesn't go away. But JD and Turk just being there for him, promising to be there when he wakes up and his final thought being happy about a nice beer... Fucking hell it makes me tear up.

Losing to Carcetti really affected him

I can't even have my glasses on when I watch this. Cryin'.

Theres some shows that are just there for you at the right time, il never forget it

As someone who was gone and came back after a fall. But during this time of passing I saw a beautiful sky peace and calm the thing that was upsetting was hearing …. You hear everything so if you’re with a dying soul animal or human give them words of kindness and warmth. Maybe an I love you is the last thing you hear or some music.

this is not only maybe my favorite scene of the series but maybe ever? this is fucking perfect and forever is my feelings on death

Everyone has their own saddest Scrubs scene. This is the one that gets me. “That beer tasted great hits me like the bricks from S1 Ep. 4 because of the next part…all that talking didn’t make death any easier. Still one of the most beautiful scenes in sitcom history

I'd like to go to space, float outside and let my last view be of space and the earth.

The guy who played George, man he has just a kind warm appearance. I'm sure he's an awesome man in real life.

I cried so much during this episode, so beautiful so hard to watch

Scrubs had the perfect balance of comedy and drama. It could have you laughing out loud one minute and then have you on the verge of tears the next. Such a perfect show, there'll never be another like it

"hey...guys? i'm getting a little tired..." in that situation...the worst words you can hear, yet....means no more suffering. makes it be the words of celebration. their life may be over, but the celebration OF their life? well that never ends

This scene has always been in my head every since I saw it. I can’t help but to cry while I’m going through existential depression. Death to me is the hardest thing to deal with but the easiest to do. ya know

Still makes me cry hard!

Such an underrated episode - feels like people don't give this episode the proper credit it deserves

To this day I still think Scrubs was one of the best comedy dramas I've ever seen.

This was a very moving episode

This is my favorite episode in the show, and it's because of this ending.

I was just thinking of the episode today.

I was in Medical Lab School and my roommate was in nursing school when this show began. He got me into watching this show and when it came out on prime, I watched the entire show back to back to back except for the season 9 medical school season. Thats not the true ending to scrubs. I have been working in the health care field now for 17yrs and if I could go back to college and start it over again, scrubs would be right there.

As far as I'm concerned, scrubs is the greatest TV show ever produced in USA. It is the only TV series that could make me laugh out loud and cry out loud, often in the same episode. Not even the legendary MASH could do that.

This episode ruins me absolutely every time I see it, years later. For long enough I wouldn't watch it because it hurt so much. But gawd damn, it's up there as one of the finest pieces of television there has ever been. Even more so than the other emotional big hitters throughout Scrubs.

Damn if this didn’t hit me in the feels.

This brief clip of this episode has me absolutely weeping. I mean, I suppose, to be fair, I did just have my grandfather's funeral on Saturday, so I suppose it checks out that this got to me. I sure hope his last thought was a good one.

Such a tragic end for a sweet man this is whats brilliant about scrubs a perfect balance of everything

For me its the best Episode...this Hits so hard😭😭😭

I still think about my first flatline on the ambulance as a paramedic 1998. Comes in for head pain and mild abdominal discomfort. Started throwing some runs (quick bursts of asystolie). Asked the guy “you doing ok?” He just said “yeah I’m kind of dizzy but ok.” Slapped on a 3 lead to start. Then started fading. V-fib. Prepped for shock. Not long after asystolie hits. CPR didn’t have a chance and he was pronounced not long after getting to ER Of all the times after that, I’ll never forget that first time watching life leave someone

This like yeah made me cry and just think how horrible I am as a person and how you don’t need much to make life great even if it a nice sip of an ice cold beer…. To George

Steak night. This is a good episode

Watching the latest season of "After Life," I recognized this song played in ep 6...
