After 8 seasons of House I've learned...

Cozmo23 · 3 months

Sometimes you get lucky and are just the decoy sick person. Like the guy that starts coughing and you think he is going down when he recovers to find his friend having a seizure on the ground.

I know the show is over dramatic and follows a pretty linear format... but I am going to miss it, I always found myself watching every episode. I think I just like the character of House... oh well.

... and every patient that he treats might have sarcoidosis.

Learned this from Law & Order. That, and if you ever go jogging in Central Park after sundown you will at least be stabbed multiple times.

skyblue90 · 3 months

I don't see the need to diagnose on House.

They basically just have four treatments and do them until one makes the patient survive.

It's either broadspectrum antibiotics, steroids, keelation or radiation.

Fucking lupus.

idont_getit · 3 months

I would say the same thing about Six Feet Under :/

Johrues · 3 months

and that took you 8 seasons to realize?...

Scuttlebutt91 · 3 months

Same with being in the opening of CSI. Life sucks for bit characters.

draughtpunk · 3 months

Better the opening scene on House than Six Feet Under

macsr4idiots · 3 months

After 8 seasons of House I'VE learned ... its never sarcoidosis, but they always think it is.

Every minute of your life is like the first three minutes of Law and Order: SVU

Illuria · 3 months

There's a British series called Casualty (that is the world's longest running medical drama) that has a very similar intro. My family and I tend to have a competition to see who can guess the injury that is going to befall the person in question first.

So, the medical drama equivalent of red shirts?

masterfain · 3 months

I was actually in an opening scene of house (season 7) and I ended up being ok. Although I did help poison someone later in the episode....

MinecraftHardon · 3 months

This also holds true for Law and Order SVU.

Also, if you appear to be in a happy relationship, you're gonna have a bad time/be given incurable herpes by your partner.

If Foreman think you're going to be okay, you're going to have a bad time.

Took you 8 seasons...

As Dr. House would say, "You're a moron!"

sherlocksd · 3 months

For those who haven't seen House, all 8 seasons. Whoever is in the opening scene of House gets sick. Fifteen minutes into the show after commercials they try to get admitted, House says something smartass then the patient says something weird and House accepts them. Thirty minutes into it House thinks he has a cure, everyone argues that could kill them, House tries it anyway. Thirty-five minutes into the show, House almost kills them. Forty minutes into the show they all argue again about the diagnosis, House says something smartass, again. Forty-five minutes into the show someone says something arbitrary, House has a "got it!" moment, argues with everyone, again, says something smartass. Fifty-five minutes into it the cure works, patient leaves, House talks with his friend or sits alone in his office. Cue music and drug use(sometimes)

I stopped watching house after they killed John Cho.

jcwitte · 3 months

It took you 8 seasons to figure that out?

If you are in the opening scene of House you don't have lupus

If you think it's lupus. IT'S NOT LUPUS!

karmaforeveryone · 3 months

Did I just notice the alien or is this a new backdrop?

T_A_I_N_T · 3 months

I just realized the easter egg alien in every South Park episode is in the background of this photo..mind=blown

jeremywise1313 · 3 months

Can someone explain to me if this show is exactly what I think it is? Every episode begins with a crazy illness, 40 minutes of "it cant be this, it CANT be this!...it's THIS!....oh god, no it isnt!!", and then a "This is a long shot I've made based on an observation from 1989 while I traveled in Greece. It's only happened 3 times in history, and every time the patient has DIED. Let's go for it"....and it works? Not downing the show, I've seen almost all of a few episodes, and this is what I took away from it.

newgirlie · 3 months

IT'S NOT LUPUS!

zeddies21 · 3 months

House and every version of every type of CSI show.

gothewholehog · 3 months

Also, its NEVER lupus.

pregnantandsober · 3 months

Yes, this happens in any procedural drama.

Never, ever pull back the sheet.

CatoftheCanal · 3 months

Not this girl

pickleskid26 · 3 months

Haha it took you EIGHT seasons to figure this out?! :P Plus this actor is usually a really good B-list actor whose name is at the tip of your tongue. I remember seeing Robin Tunney in Season 1 of House - and she went on to be Lisbon in The Mentalist!

kazkeb · 3 months

same goes for Fringe

solsire · 3 months

That once they started shocking a flatline, they'll keep on doing it no matter what.

EhOhhEss · 3 months

MadTV did a pretty funny skit

Buhdahl · 3 months

Same thing with Fringe, although Fringe is usually a tad messier.

TruthElephant · 3 months

It took you 8 seasons? That show is as formulaic as Power Rangers.

House, Bones, any crime show, but ESPECIALLY Six Feet Under. ;)

tyyson · 3 months

you needed 8 seasons to figure this out?

JJ_McQuade · 3 months

Six Feet Under...same rule applies

deadwisdom · 3 months

Have you ever noticed that the openings of Bones and House are exactly the same? Only at the end do they diverge where someone falls over (House) or finds a corpse (Bones).

mistercompony · 3 months

Same with every show in that genre

alechungry · 3 months

This is especially true when the episode opening features House.

Hipsterista · 3 months

It took you 8 seasons? Wow you're slow.

ram0889 · 3 months

TIL that this is the last season of House :(

FreedObject · 3 months

If you think the patient has lupus...

You're gonna have a bad time

hopscotchking · 3 months

It's like Six Feet Under. Oh man! Who's gonna get it?!

cam513 · 3 months

House is off-the-chart make believe. You'll never get a bunch of doctors administering treatments. Nurses do that. Just like in Law and Order, the defendant takes the witness stand....Yeah right. That's the only way they can get a guilty verdict in most of the cases. Still I watch House constantly...Makes me laugh.

nopasanada7 · 3 months

Similarly, I've learned: http://i.imgur.com/eUEMu.jpg

dudemann · 3 months

The episodes that started with House or one of House's team member always kind of disappointed me... there was no guessing game. They'd walk in and Cuddy or someone would throw them a case and it's like "well yea, that was too damn easy."

kinkosmyers · 3 months

Anyone have a link to what trope this is?

telefreak · 3 months

if you're watching house; you're gonna have a bad time

[deleted] · 3 months

I've learned that if you're the one initially not feeling well. The person who seems perfectly fine is the one who has more than a cold.

changone · 3 months

You will have an even worse time if you are a woman.

My_Default_Was_Taken · 3 months

Same applies to Scooby-Doo.

patsfan94 · 3 months

If you think that it's Lupus you're gonna have a bad time

iiTsukuyomi · 3 months

lol that is so true now that you mention it :)

thebattlefish · 3 months

It's not lupus.

brattonWVU · 3 months

After 8 seasons of House, I've learned crap gets real right before a commercial.

Ultraseamus · 3 months

Unless you're the guy who looks like he is going to have a bad time. Then you'll probably be fine.

This also applies to ANY crime show.

The first 5 seasons were dynamite.

And at one point you will be treated for lupus

Well I learned how to say "Kyle's mom in a bitch" in multiple languages.

noagendaproducer · 3 months

I think that is the case for most tv shows these days. Especially the crime dramas.

Artem_C · 3 months

When you think they got it right the first time.

You're gonna have a bad time.

Melkath · 3 months

The other things you should know by now. Everyone lies and its not lupus.

Droidiq · 3 months

Haha it took you long.

silenc3x · 3 months

Fringe is the same way... if you're in the opening scene, you're gonna die a ridiculously weird death.

NorthernWV · 3 months

If you're having a random conversation about something that doesn't have anything to do with the plot line of the show. You're gonna have an epiphany.

Dr0wn · 3 months

You've watched 8 seasons of House, and you only started noticing this now?

hypnosthetic · 3 months

Also it's never Lupus...

IronGranny · 3 months

I just now realized that there's an alien in the background of this meme

qixe · 3 months

Maybe ill go watch some house so that I can appreciate this

BlueThundah · 3 months

it seriously took you eight fucking seasons to realize this

cabface · 3 months

I feel like this could also apply to a number of other shows. Particularly Law and Order: SVU and Fringe.

mrfloopa · 3 months

Well that only took 100+ episodes. =D

Trantor_I · 3 months

That's true of Fringe as well. Not just a bad time, but a gruesome bad time.

Alphonse1596 · 3 months

i think people in the opening scenes of Fringe have a way worse time.

Edit: example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGKjfxgHFwg

Aliens!

Also, it's never Lupus. Unless it's Lupus.

I spy an alien :)

pyramidhead23 · 3 months

If you're in the opening scenes of six feet under, You're gonna have a worse time.

wedge9 · 3 months

OTOH, if you're the first person on-screen in Law & Order, you're usually OK -- you find the body, you tell the stars "we just found him like this," and your part in the show is done.
