 Posted: Thu Sep 21, 2006 5:41 pm Post subject: Scrubs and Turks |
 |
|
I've just managed to get a hold of my favourite comedy show, 'Scrubs' season 5 on DVD and spotted something I thought was quite intersting / funny.
An episode with an American idea of a 'Turk' (Well, the show's producers image of a what Americans would think a Turk looks like).
I though it was quite amusing as the guy clearly looks like he is an Indian Sikh, nothing like any Turkish person I've ever seen or met.

I looked up the bit on Youtube. It's the bit 3:58 minutes in. Seems there's already some sort of arguement on the user comments 
Bit of a pointless thread but....ah well  |

I saw that episode on CNBC the other night. That guy clearly wasn't a Turk! I can't believe the director/producers are THAT ignorant. They were probably trying for a laugh, making the doctor character THAT ignorant.
I laughed my ar.se off at that episode. Laugh therapy, always a good thing. |

| I too have watched Buffy. I always imagined it was a realistic portrayal of life in the contemporary US. |

| Scrubs is an American comedy, the characters in it are supposed to be exagerated. Kind of like that American in that AK Bank advert, he clearly isn't American. |

You're thinking of that video that Tavsan recommended. |

| I have it on authority that Buffy is a popular programme to pull 31s to. BTW Cordelia is gorgeous-she is on the spin off Angel. |

| You'd rather she was just over 31. |
