Other instances of high fives[]

  • In "My Kingdom", Todd asks J.D. if he's paying attention to the surgery, to which J.D. replied "Oh, I'm sorry Todd. Is it time to excise the tumor?". Todd replies "No, it's time to realize we are operating on a naked chick! We will high-five later ."
  • In "My Kingdom", Turk tells J.D. that "Todd camped out in a full-on wizard outfit to see the last Harry Potter movie". Todd gets upset, and says "You swore you wouldn't tell. We even high-fived on it!", to which Turk replies "Todd, we high-five on everything". Todd starts yelling "That's such a lame excuse. I'm totally pissed at you!", but stops when Turk raises his hand and they proceed to high-five.
  • In "My Tormented Mentor", Turk says "Why don't you lay off Dr. Miller? And don't say "I'd like to lay on Dr. Miller." Todd then replies "High-five later for reading my mind!".
  • In "My Friend the Doctor" Todd says "Up high two times, once for buns, once for the "sex" part of "Sussex". Come on!" As the Janitor walks past he offers it to him. After replying with "An American high five, how incredibly vulgar", he high-fives the Janitor.
  • In "My Waste of Time", J.D. has a fantasy in which Turk replaces his surgically removed testicle with one that doubles as a hand-warmer. In the fantasy, J.D., Turk, Dr. Cox, and Todd are on an ice-fishing trip, and Turk allows the other three to use his testicle to keep warm.  When the four return to the hospital, Turk, Cox, and J.D. find the experience too awkward to talk about, while Todd is overjoyed, and attempts to give Carla an "Ice-fishing five," but Carla is hesitant to return the high-five after seeing a testicle shaped mark on Todd's hand.
  • In "Their Story", Todd thought to himself that he normally just puts "five" on the end of the last word in the other persons sentence. In this case it was Turk, and it was an "Unfair Five".
  • In the Season Six outtakes, Todd makes a joke about Laverne's death a little too soon and replies to Carla with "Too-Soon Five". Carla does not high-five Todd ("My Words of Wisdom").
  • In another Season Six outtake, Todd, amongst others, are angry at Kim Briggs for lying to J.D.. Kim responds by offering Todd an "I'm-Sorry Five!" which he accepts ("My Rabbit").
  • In "My Soul on Fire, Part 1", the gang meets Todd's medical school professor in the Bahamas, who is reputed to give the best high-fives. He high fives Todd, and J.D. has a fantasy that this high-five causes a powerful shockwave.
  • Another "Goodbye Five" was posted up on The Todd's Facebook Page as a caption for a photo showing Robert Maschio as The Todd reacting to the demolition of North Hollywood Medical Center.
