disorderlies
Hospital comedy attendants
Disorderlies is the plural of disorderly, a noun referring to someone who behaves in a rowdy or unruly manner, or to the charge itself: The police rounded up the usual disorderlies.
In hospital settings, an orderly is an attendant who maintains order and assists staff—disorderlies would be the chaotic opposite, though this use is rare and usually humorous.
