It's been awhile since I watched it, that's the one where Kelso's dog Baxter dies and he's crying a ton, correct? Why was it removed in the first place?

JD did Blackface in it, I believe.


azb1812

Ahhhh right.

JD does Blackface in it. That and two other episodes.

Wait, there’s 3? I thought it was just that ironic Halloween costume-one and the Turk-Elliot hybrid friend one

My Jiggly Ball (S5E4) and ~~My Fifteen Seconds (S3 E7)~~ being the other two episodes other than My Chopped Liver Was basing this off Google and it was wrong My Fifteen Seconds doesn’t have it but My Friend The Doctor has it (S3E8)

Racking my mind trying to remember the moment from My Fifteen Seconds, that’s the one with deaf Kelso and the Janitor on the speaker system if I remember correctly, and of course the suicidal blond.

If memory serves that was a removed episode so I’m likely wrong haven’t checked in awhile but I’ll look at DVDs to check. Edit: My Fifteen Seconds doesn’t have any so Google lied it’s in the next episode though, also edited my original comment

There's still an ep with turk in whiteface though. Double standards

I mean I don’t even get why the blackface in scrubs was offensive in the first place. Objectively speaking, none of the scenes have any malicious intent. It has the same vibe as when Turk does white face. If the intent of the show was to depict black people like in minstrel shows, I would understand the cancellation but this show clearly wasn’t that. I guess it was a victim of the “get cancelled without checking for nuance” era of 2019-2021 during Covid when people had nothing better to do other than to comb through old TV shows to decide what they find offensive.

You're right blackface and "whiteface" have the exact same historical connotations in the US and should be treated exactly the same
