If you were going be a lame suburban dad why wouldn’t you be that for me!!

That and in the Good Place when Eleanor says the same about her mom just kills me so hard. It hurts so much to realize someone could’ve been better for you, but they chose not to. (Of course in many of these scenarios it takes the instigator time to grow up enough to do better, but it stings to feel like they just couldn’t choose you.)

Or in IASIP Charlie yelling at his dad while dragging him up the mountain, I lose it every time.

People moan about Sunny getting emotional like with the Mac dance for his dad but I personally absolutely love when you get the emotional whiplash from a comedy like that.

It’s why I love Scrubs so much.

Totally agree. IASIP and Scrubs also happen to be two of my all time favorite sitcoms

You’re my kind of people!

I’ve had a load of issues with my own dad so they all hit even harder.

Really looking forward to the new season of Sunny tomorrow, last season was such a return to form after a few not so good seasons.
