Dress like the Cast of Scrubs for Halloween

Easily Recognizable, and Very Comfortable Costumes

Alright you pop-culture junkies, here you're going to learn how to dress up like your favorite characters from Scrubs. Uh, for Halloween. Scrubs characters should be instantly recognizable to the twenty-something crowd, so you wont have to constantly
 explain “what you are this year.” At the very least, people will see you and think “doctor”. If you can get a group of friends to go as the entire cast, even better, and it'll strengthen costume recognition as a whole.

J.D.
He's the main character in the show, but not necessarily the most liked on the show. A lot of being a convincing J.D. lies in the hair. You need a good head of medium length hair that you can gel the heck out of. It needs to stick up fairly high.

Most of the characters on Scrubs are color coded. Your best bet for J.D., are navy-blue scrubs (pants and top) with a lighter colored, blue, long-sleeve t-shirt underneath. Round it out with a stethoscope around the neck and some sort of official looking name tag attached to the left side of the shirt. J.D. wears white tennis-shoes, Nike of you got 'em. Bonus points for making the badge with your picture on it, at Kinkos.

Turk
You better be black, or it's not going to work. More specifically, black and bald. Turk is a surgeon, and all the surgeons on the show wear turquoise scrubs (top and bottom). Other then a badge and black tennis shoes (Nike), you're good to go. Bonus points for already being black and bald.

Elliot
Elliot is pretty much the color opposite of J.D., with baby-blue scrubs and a navy blue long sleeve shirt underneath. Stethoscope and badge, and you're almost done. The key to Elliot, is to have disheveled blond hair, with bangs always in your eyes. White tennis shoes. Bonus points for being super hot.

Carla

Carla gets the widest range of colors of the entire cast. I'd recommend magenta scrubs, but red, pink or any fairly feminine color will do. Mix it up with a floral top. Carla often sports a stethoscope and a name badge. Bonus points for having shoulder length, curly hair and being Hispanic.

I love the show Scrubs, and I am as thrilled as ever that at least three networks have them in syndication simultaneously now. Your article kept me snickering and smiling the whole way through. (I think that would have been pretty funny if the janitor had been JD's imaginary bully.)
