what's the point of this joke:
max: I like your nurse's uniform, guy.
dr.: These are O.R. scrubs.
max: "O.R." they?

It's sort of a pun. You'd expect someone to say "Are they?", but instead he's using the acronym.– Rome_LeaderJun 29, 2016 at 10:06

1It doesn't even translate into British English very well! I had no idea what "O.R." means (before I read @nj3ma's answer).– TrevorDJun 29, 2016 at 11:09

1In the context of the movie, the pun isn't supposed to be very funny. The character is being obnoxious and rude (though that part is funny).– BrianJun 29, 2016 at 12:07

1Yeah, there is no point, really, other than to have the guy act like a jerk. (The final line is "Oh, are they?")– Hot LicksJun 29, 2016 at 12:17

The O.R is the operating room here. The joke is a pun on the O.R. O.R sounds like "oh, are".
