For centuries, doctors in lab coats have been an
important part of the comedic landscape. This is especially true in the
world of animated programming.
Lab Coats
have a long history in the annals of comedy. Somebody, a long time ago,
decided that a doctor in a lab coat could The north face be just as funny as a clown
in makeup or a straight-man wearing a suit.
This is especially true the north face gloves for animated shows. For decades animated shows
have cast doctors in the role of comedic fodder, usually as slightly
inept professionals who are always there with a funny line or a comical
diagnosis. For a perfect example of this type of character you have north face coats to
look no further then Julius Hibbert, the resident physician at
Springfield Hospital on the hit animated show The Simpsons.
Modeled after Bill Cosby抯 character on the Cosby Show, creators even
went as far as to give Dr. Hibbert a pension for colorful sweaters and
children who resemble Cosby抯 on-screen progeny. Dr. Hibbert is a smart
man, though he has a tendency to laugh even at the most tragic news.
Most of his comedy comes from either comedic diagnosis, or clever
one-liners, which vary form person to person. He is a doctor but also
seems to be a pediatrician and a surgeon (he has performed surgery on
Homer Simpson several time). He seems to be a good father, fairly
ethical (though a tool for the HMO circuit) and has hairstyles that
reflect famous black actors depending on which decade you see him
(dreadlocks, a Mr. T flattop, etc.).
On Family Guy, the resident doctor is a much more inept doctor than Mr.
Hibbert is. His running joke is that when giving diagnosis he always
mentions whatever bad stuff is on his mind before getting to the actual
information (for example: when telling Peter Griffin what his cancer
test said he starts by noting 揘o, no, this isn抰 very good at all厰.
After a brief pause he then holds up a picture that his son drew 揟his
doesn抰 look like me at all?. He seems to kind of know what he抯 doing,
though he has a north face for men tendency to be too stupid to be believable at most
times (putting his hand in a used needle draw thinking it抯 where he
keeps his rubber gloves).
Not often do you see a lobster- like alien wearing a lab coat, but
that抯 exactly what you saw if you were a fan of Futurama which aired on
FOX in 2000-2003. The running joke with Zoidberg, besides the fact that
he was broke and卽mmm?had claws?was that he was a terrible doctor
usually giving wrong diagnosis or, because it was the future, curing
them in weird ways. Frankly, he was hilarious, and just the latest in a
long line of funny doctors on animated TV shows.
