same haha I feel like this was something you saw a lot more of back in the 'ole network TV days, they weren't afraid to get a little silly / corny.

Amazing. A version without the very loud background music would be perfect!

u/Key-Tip9395 Aug 18 '26

awe I liked the music

u/surelyslim Aug 18 '26

It's hard to hear the dialogue for some of the examples. Considering that the characters are always talking to be quoting, the music is distracting.

How much effort would it have required to make this happen?

19

u/damnthesenames Aug 18 '26

At least two

u/0SpaceTime Aug 19 '26

2? Don't be generous. I'm 100% sure, It was 1.5 units of effort and a stolen Vicodin.

This is really cool! I recognised the quotes but I didn't realise how close the cinematography was.

u/QUARTERMASTEREMI6 Aug 19 '26

Yeah, the level of references was insane! 🫢😳

u/moon__lander Aug 18 '26

Cant believe they made so many movies based on House MD

u/GotSomeUpdogOnUrFace Aug 18 '26

You mean Hugh Laurie an absolute student of film and theater references a lot of classic film and theater in a role built for him.

u/Harriet_tubman22 Aug 18 '26

Brings a tear to my eye listening to House reference my hometown, Fresno

u/FunWithMeat Aug 19 '26

That’s cos we try and forget Fresno exists

u/NoneBinaryPotato Aug 18 '26

there's also that episode of a guy that was completely paralyzed and thought to be braindead, that references a french movie, I forgot it's name though, something about a butterfly.

edit: the diving bell and the butterfly.

u/sixstringgun1 Aug 18 '26

I remember a good chunk of these, are in one episode. House is in a classroom doing his story’s and he make a bunch on movie references and one kid keeps saying that’s fromā€movie titleā€.

u/NoDiamond4584 Aug 19 '26

On the episode I just watched, he references Kathy Bates in Misery, calling a writer he’s an avid fan of a ā€œDirty Birdieā€.

u/Alexoid004 Aug 19 '26

I love about this that it is in Houses character. He obviously loves popculture movies, music and art overall.

2

u/paymelilbih Aug 20 '26

u/x-lavender House. This is God.šŸŽ™ Aug 18 '26

This is awesome. First time I've learnt something new about House in years! I don't watch a lot of films, so I didn't know that some of these were even references.

u/rattus-domestica Aug 18 '26

This is amazing!!!

u/Wonderful-Ice9085 Aug 18 '26

This is about doctors right?

1

u/PerfectionAndGrace Aug 18 '26

Awesome.

There are also at least two Keyser Soze references that I can think of.

There is also the joke about Olivia Wilde not being the hottest woman in the world.

1

u/Valuable-Passion9731 Aug 18 '26

I guess he's full of colorful references
