Scrubs Moment

When a lighthearted comedy or TV show suddenly turns unnecessarily serious and/or introspective.
Well-dressed white people at a trendy bar/club:

Jenny - "I'm having so much fun! Let's all do a shot!"
Johny - "We're all so pretty and happy! That sounds great!"
Janice - "It's so important to live for today! I just found out I have a terminal disease. And my house burned down."
Jenny - "Wow! What a Scrubs Moment! Hopefully it will be resolved after this commercial break!"

Scrubs Moment

1. When something in reality causes someone to remember/think about a moment/event in the TV show 'Scrubs'.

2. When someone zones out, tilting their head to the right slightly and pointing their eyes up and to the left - like the character John Dorian in the TV show 'Scrubs'.
Example 1:
Person 1 is talking about their friend who is inseperable from their partner. Person 2 then instantly goes off into a daydream thinking that the couple is like Turk and Carla from Scrubs and remembers the episode where they are depicted as a two-headed being.
This would then be followed by Person 2 saying "I just had a Scrubs moment!" and they would describe their thoughts to Person 1.

scrubstitution

A player substitution at the very end of a basketball game in which one or several low-skilled players (the scrubs) get to enter the game. Generally this happens when the team the scrub is playing for is winning or losing by at least 20 points. Also known as "garbage time."
We're winning by forty points with 30 seconds left. Time for a scrubstitution!

Scrubs Depression

The kind of feeling after binge-watching the Scrubs series.
Life seems meaningless, you want to have a black best friend and become a doctor.
"Dude, I think my life doesn't make any sense.
I don't have such a great best friend, my job sucks and so does my girlfriend!"
"Dude, what the fuck is up with you?"
"I just watched Scrubs. I totally have a Scrubs Depression right now."
"Oh. I know that feeling. Sorry that I'm not black..."
