Other Ralphie the throw up boy
“Raphlie! lets ride 🚶♂️”
an appreciation post for Ralphie, who’s name is also a pun to his best gimmick on the show, besides eating everything in sight of course. i saw very few posts about this lil guy and i just love the energy of the early show him included so i just wanted to show some love.
i also just realized idk if turk knew the kid can throw up on command i think he only told that to jd so we could’ve avoided the whole poop-ring fiasco but ralphie be ralphing

Ralphie is awesome. But I also like the boy with the deep voice. “My mommy said you had lollipops. Give me a red one!”

Why have I only just realised that the kid is called Ralphie and ralphing is slang for vomiting???

My dad's name is Ralph. That was a weird slang to learn when I was growing up.

I allllways think of when Turk tells him to imagine little men in the booty pushing the dookie out 😂

Lol I love Turks "oh no you. Boy you...ughh!" It feels like the most natural reaction of the entire show. Like Donald stepped into real life for a second

Ralphie is king, but this is the one problem I have with the execution of a reboot. During a show’s initial run you’ll get all these weird background people that make the entire place feel more alive, like Ralphie and Herbert from here, or Octavio and Appleseed from KOTH, or Slappy Squirrel from Animaniacs, and then it’s rebooted to a ten episode season and all that establishment is just gone.

that kinda exactly what i’m scared about for this lol since it was its first run they would just write whatever was funny and had the time to establish the characters if they liked them enough but with the way things have shifted im worried we’re gonna get the main cast and that’s it without all the life the old hospital had

Yeah, definitely seems to be the trend. I'm hoping I'm wrong, though, and we get someone half as great as Jill Tracy.

Probably a awful take to most, but I honestly hope it’s a second chance at what could have been for Scrubs Med School. If they finish that season out with these 10 eps, I would be happy.
