Take everyone's favorite Christmas special, mix in a little wackiness from everyone's favorite medical sitcom, and what do you get? You get the video that's after the jump: a ten-minute version of A Charlie Brown Christmas with the voices of the cast of Scrubs dubbed in.And don't think that this is just Zach Braff, John C. McGinley and company doing a literal reading of the Charlie Brown script; it's more like a Scrubs episode, complete with flashbacks, girl names, and penis jokes. Even the characters are the same. Except here, JD looks like Chuck, Dr. Cox looks like Linus, Carla looks like Lucy, etc. (And there's even a Cox Rant (tm) or two in there, in places you wouldn't expect). I'll let you be surprised at where the other voices pop up.
The video was made during season three for a cast Christmas party. It's very funny and definitely worth a look.

I like Scrubs and I love the Charlie Brown Christmas Special but this could have been alot better. Casting can always be argued, but why would you make cast Dr. Cox as Linus? Forget about what Charlie Brown's and Linus' replationship is in the cartoon, the animation makes Linus subservient to Charlie. This would have been much better if Turk was Linus or even Elliot as Linus.

It wasn't meant for the public, jbo; it was created for the cast and crew. Who cares if the casting isn't "right"? It's not like they ever intended on having it broadcast on NBC or anything. I'm just happy they made it.

Lou, I say right in the first paragraph that the video is after the jump. So, if you just click the link that says "continue reading etc. etc.", you'll see the video.
And, before you ask, "after the jump" has become common blog parlance for "after you click continue."

Are we really debating the casting? You have to be kidding. Detach yourself a bit from criticizing for 10 minutes, and enjoy this for what it is: a great variation of two classics.
