I just cant understand how they could have made such an unlikeable protagonist in JD. Like, take it or leave it with all his goofy stuff but theres quite a lot of moments where hes a complete jackass. Did they make him this way to be more realistic? Or to separate him from every other sitcom MC?

Don't

Also, he's a hell of a lot more likable than Zach Braff in real life

Scrubs was ruined for me a little when I found out Zach Braff was a big dick irl.

Any internet old-timers remember "Zach Braff Quotes"

That was pretty common for the time. Some massive douche guy trying to be passed off as the good guy. Like Ted Mosby.

Lily was bad though, probably even worse than Ted but pretty close. All of them were pretty shitty except Marshall. Dude should have got a better friend group.

They lost the streaming rights to a huge chunk of the original music for the show.

It's jarring and bullshit.

...that one actually hurts a little worse.

Like what happened to Scrubs is horseshit but icing that theme?

It's iconic, it's the only thing I remember except for a bunch of jokes in Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23.

It always annoyed me how they had JD all of a sudden being obsessed with appletinis and claiming he doesn't like beer. Yet they had him drinking beer all the time and going to the store to buy it during the first three seasons and in flashbacks from college. I honestly don't understand what the hell all that was about.

All funny characters in sitcoms tend to be jerks or straight-men for jerks (like Hank Hill). JD is just more noticeable because hes not that funny compared to the jerks around him (Cox, Kelso, Janitor, Turk, etc) and is also less of a cartoon character compared to the first 3 (who are easily the funniest characters on the show).

Non-sequitur: I think that I like Parks and Rec so much because most of the truly deplorable characters are framed as villains. The one exception to this is Tom, but hes framed as a kind of Dale Gribble type character, where hes often out-of-line but he always gets put in his place for it, and he clearly cares about the people around him.

He's on there laughing about it like his actions were justified. What a sociopath. Everybody that appears on Punk'D pretty much is.

Pretty sure they did air that. Maybe not the beating of the kid part though.

Is JD really supposed to be likable though? The show doesn't really hide the fact JD is a giant asshole, especially in the episodes with his brother. The fact he makes Elliot dump her boyfriends only for him to not want her anymore and then get jealous again, etc. Carla, JD, and Elliot are insufferable from the main cast. Turk, Cox, Janitor and Kelso carry the show and JD's interactions with them.

I disagree. Most funny things involving him are when bad things happen to him.
