Jo Karev Puns

View Poll

I am watching this show for the first time season 9 eps24 so please don’t spoil anything! But I hope they last I think they’re so cute together

Hey guys,

I was rewatching Grey’s Anatomy and I noticed a very significant detail.

In season 9 Jo Wilson briefly dated a OBGYN named Jason Myers. Jason and Jo got into a fight and Jo got angry and pushed him and Jason fell and hit his head causing a brain bleed. Jo never took accountability for her actions and she tried to cover it up and lie and hide it from everyone. Later in the show Jo and Alex Karev started dating. Jo had a rough day at work and went to the bar and had several drinks. At the bar was one of her coworkers named Deluca. Deluca offered to take her home because she was heavily intoxicated. When they arrived in her apartment Jo felt overheated and started taking her clothes off. Deluca felt it was inappropriate and walked up to her and tried to help her get her clothes back on. Alex came home and immediately got angry at Deluca resulting in a harsh beating. Deluca ended up in the hospital and pressed charges. In my perspective it seemed like Deluca was trying to rape Jo however that does not justify Alex’s further actions. Several weeks later Jo and Alex came in contact, Jo ignored and distanced herself from Alex without even trying to understand why he made the actions and choices he did. Personally I find that a bit hypocritical because when Jo finally confessed why Jason was in the hospital Alex did everything he could to help and protect her and he even listened to her point of view and showed a great deal of empathy, yet when Alex beat up Deluca and later shared how he thought Deluca was trying to rape her she did nothing and even more distanced herself from Alex.

Am I the only one who thinks that her storyline and character isn’t important at all? I mean the character has gone through tough times like abuse and abandonment but she still seems boring for me

i love that we’re finally get my to see jo as a doctor and it made me pick up on something and idk if anyone else noticed.

in past seasons jo would call meredith“doctor grey” ie “dr grey stealing alex” when she would walk in on him showering and kick jo out of bed to talk to alex or whatnot

i can’t remember the exact quoted but in last nights episodes jo was mentioning her to alex and said something along the lines of “ive loved working with meredith on the mini livers” i know they have all grown up a ton since the past seasons but i love that jo has confidence in her medical abilities and sees meredith as not only a boss/teacher but as a mentor and an equal in a sense.

it probably didn’t have a deeper meaning considering meredith and jo are practically family bc of alex, but it shows huge character development in jo in my opinion

I'm still processing.

lmaooo rewatching season 9 and this bitch stomps into the intern locker room all like “I HATE Karev.” and I’m like lmao yeah for now boo!

There was a ton of potential with Alex vs Prison and stuff but honestly the story itself is so poorly executed and actually doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Each party is missing something and it’s just annoying

O'Malley and Nurse Olivia have sex in the on-call room. Olivia gives George the Syphilis she got from Karev.

O'malley confronts Karev.

Nurse Olivia returns, around ten years later, and tells Karev's new fiancee, Jo, about the syphilis outbreak in season 1.

I have seen and read in different social media platforms that lots of people hate the ending for Alex Karev (which is understandable).

People have specifically told that he didn't love Izzie because he only told Jo that so she knew he wasn't really coming back. It seemed that for them (other fans), he should have told Mer that he was in love with Izzie.

I think it didn't have to be spoken out to Mer because she understood, given that she knew how Alex loved Izzie. And maybe, they didn't write it out and emphasized on it because 1) it wasn't Izzie's exit, it was Alex's and 2) Mer had seen and heard enough of Alex's feelings towards Izzie throughout their relationship and even after years of Izzie leaving.

I just think it's not fair to:

1. Blame Izzie for Alex's exit.
2. Say that Alex only left FOR the kids.
3. Hate on Alex for his story and wanting to have a family.

Could've written better but it wasn't bad actually.

Ok so basically ive been on and off with greys the last 2 years and i just spent the last 2 months watching another show but now that I’ve finished that i’ve hopped back onto grey’s but holy god fucking bless America I’ve never been pissed off enough to post anything anywhere but of course the episode that i pick up on is when karev leaves!!!! This is possiblly the worst exit him leaving jo his current wife for his ex from like 8 years ago??? Im sorry this just made me so mad i cant be the only one bc wtf

This is the episode after Karev beats up DeLucca and he’s charged with a felony.

Jo beat up a guy to the pulp at the end of season 9 and got zero repercussions out of it, so why is she being “oh, I care that you beat up someone” like she hasn’t done the same thing 3 seasons ago? At least he came forward and is facing the consequences of his actions.

I get the picture they are painting but as I’m rewatching the show to see if I can bring myself to like Jo and Maggie, I’m really not incline to let this one slide.

Also, when Webber asked her “should I call your mom or dad?” it made me chuckle cause she literally says “I lived in my car” in every episode in s10 and 11.

I say Karev. He was over Izzie completely. He was in a committed and loving relationship. Then he gets one letter from Izzie about how she hid his kids from him and instead of getting angry, he just runs off on Jo to be with Iz.

Rewatched the show. The inconsistencies are driving me mad. I know, I know. 'Time-y wime-y', Shonda says, but this is incomprehensible.

• 13 year old Tuck Jones in 2018's Personal Jesus episode: A monstrous offence of continuity hell. This does NOT add up no matter how you justify it... 13? This episode was released in January 2018 and takes place in early 2018 in its timeline, as Jo and Alex's wedding is not long after, taking place June 2018. Meredith's five year residency ended in 2012, therefore she began it in 2007. Tuck should be 10 years old. Yes, they skipped a year, but then season 13 just took place in the same year as season 12.
• Ellis Grey won her first Harper Avery as a resident in 1988 according to S10, but the following season suggests she finished much sooner and went to MassGen by 1983 after giving up Maggie.
• Schmitt's group were interns for extra years.
• DeLuca's everything: He is an intern then a resident then an intern, has 3 different ages stated in dialogue, and a dead mother since childhood who was previously said to be alive when he got beaten by Alex. DeLuca is like musical chairs.
• Owen Hunt is 39 in 2017. Because Megan is 36, and 3 years younger. 10 years after his baby sister is found, Megan is revealed to be 3 years his junior. Owen was a hotshot attending in 2008. So now he's born in 1978 and around the same age as Meredith and likely just a year or two older than the rest of MAGIC?
• 1994 Alex Karev looks mid-20s and plays late teens. '94 Alex seems to be a high schooler, likely 17 or 18, giving him a 1976/77 birthdate, so now he's the oldest of MAGIC? Seemed more like he was an early 80s baby like Izzie, George, Jackson and April.
• 50 year old Teddy Altman is pregnant. Article justifications for ageing down Kim Raver by 10 years begone, this cannot be justified. She was already said to be a SECOND year ATTENDING during 9/11, and did a full fellowship, 4 years of med school and a residency. She would've been around 32. So she had a baby around 49/50? Her pregnancy was also a full 12 months apparently.
• Jo is a resident for 43 billion years. Jo apparently begins her residency shortly before Mark Sloan's death, then gets married in June 2018, six years later, still a resident. What?
• Amelia is pregnant at 45 (in 2019) with a man who had cancer as a child. If Derek (1966 b.) was 12, and Amelia (born 1974) was 5 when their father died, why is she pregna

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

So I am on season 15 and Karev said something to Jo about selling the wedding gifts and buying a bigger television. That made me wonder why, because as interim chief and attending he would make enough money to buy him and Jo whatever television he wants and also a house that isn’t in a bad neighbourhood. Right?

Do your worst!

so i’m finally on season 13 and I’m sick and tired of Jo. She feels so toxic for my boy Karev. I’m sick of Jo’s poor me poor me oh pick me pick me routine.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
