House's Law: Everybody lies.
House's Second Law: It's never lupus.
It was literally only once lupus
Can we take a second to appreciate what a great actor Hugh Laurie is. One of the best to ever grace television
Quite likely that nobody will ever see this comment, but whilst the story that one of the producers saw Laurie's casting tape and assumed he was American because of the fidelity of his accent is well known, if you're American I recommend to you Blackadder and specifically Blackadder Goes Fourth. It is a near 4 decade old comedy series and is absolutely nothing like any American sitcom ever made; it stars Mr Bean before he developed brain damage as well as Laurie in a role you will find completely unrecognisable if you only know him from House. The last episode of the fourth series is also quite simply one of the most magnificent pieces of bittersweet comedy ever made.
@@jonnywishbone9516 Rowan atkinson never suffered brain damage, what are you talking about?
@@cardfreak0560 I didn’t say Rowan Atkinson, I said Mr Bean and it was a joke based on the behaviour of the character. Have a whoosh.
@@jonnywishbone9516well one would assume you’re talking about Rowan because your joke sucked.
He starred in the Man in the Iron Mask with DiCaprio. Small part but it was funny bc he was ordered to be beheaded.
The director of the asylum is such a powerful counterweight to House.
I loved every scene with them interacting.
It's like House is looking at a mirror image of himself,
telling him "everybody lies".
Classic example of a foil.
Being an ex opiate addict I now have a love-hate relationship with the show. I absolutely love it still, but episodes where House struggles with his addiction can be really damn hard to sit through sometimes to the point where I generally end up shutting it off. Most specifically Broken. That episode KILLED me when it came out because I had JUST gotten clean and sober myself, but just remembering writhing in agony through withdrawals is haunting enough to remember that I'd rather not at all.
This was one amazingly well-produced series though. Really glad I clicked on this!
same here im an ex heroin addict i love the show but its super triggering
I hope you are doing well bro, Jesus loves you! 🙏
Seeing Lin-Manuel Miranda in a bit role in House before ascending to Hamilton fame is heartwarming. Same to Andre Braugher as a bigger character before being Holt in B99. It's so lovely to look back at how they've climbed the notoriety ladder.
Braugher was big before Holt.
Homicide: Life on the Street was his notoriety start.
There's so many big actors like that in House. Off the top of my head - Jeremy Renner, Amanda Seyfried
Braugher is so frickin good in this show
Rest in Peace Andre Braugher 😭
Fun fact: Miranda didn’t actually do a character in house, they just let him be himself on camera.
Man, it's weird how alvie wrote a musical after he got out.
OMG, thank you, i was wondering where I knew the actor from when I saw him in Hamilton and I just made the connection
I think Lin-Manuel Miranda said that he got the idea for the song ‘you’ll be back’ from Hugh Laurie
I love it when writers use some of the actors personal life to create the character they play. It makes it so much more natural.
And music for Disney
Wrote one before he went in, too
I'm kinda surprised it took someone this long to invest the time and effort into making a high quality video essay on such a strong television series.
Thank you- I always loved the show. Appreciate you doing this, well done!
the irony about sherlock is that when everyone in their time loved him his creator fucking despised him because its all he wrote about, he was locked into nothing but sherlock
@@vanillaicecream2385 No one really made him do it. It was his own choice.
@@MrBrainTucker1079 I agreed. We all have our own problems. Our own history. Same biological lottory system. We can't choose our parents. We can't choose what happened to us. However, the one thing that we can and always can is our own choice and how we choose to be and what we choose to do with what we got. By the way, the series (great as it is) was not written by a broken person. It is written by people who think they understand the broken people and how the broken people may (and MAY NOT) overcome what what they were facing, adjusting, etc. They did a pretty good job at exploring it, testing it, hammering it, pushing it to the limit, and the series was flying quite high for many years, but they crashed it pretty badly at the end, because they didn't know how to fly through turbulances and/or land it. They didn't know how a broken person (or broken people) could figure out and cope and come out pretty extraordinarily at the end. One line was said, "You made me better. And, I hope I made you better too." is true in life. But the writers failed to figure out what that means on screen. Result of not knowing what a real House and Cuddy could have been, come the rating issue and the budget issues that clearly contributed to major down fall and a major character off the show. If @Jesse Tribble think about it, he might agree. Not all extraodinary broken persons ended up like Sherlock or House & Cuddy. They ended up better and more. If the writers would of realized it, maybe they would have ended the show differently and inspired many more broken people to the right place rather than saying "love and human happiness disable the greatness of a extraordinary doctor or a gifted musician." Sadddddd...
@@vanillaicecream2385So he chose to write about Sherlock is what you’re saying. Wowowow so sad.
Jeff Tibble:
YOU are amazing
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
broken has no patient? excuse me?
house is the patient in broken. and the asylum is house in broken,
and everybody lies, including the episode writers.
Also the flying guy is House's patient.
nice try but no that's too many mental gymnastics
@@oxitocin7718 well, you know, it's art, therefore very much a matter of subjective interpretation, and the one above is mine. you're free to disagree with it completely and have your own :)
@@MidnightSt That's not actually how that works - or at least, if no one find it compelling, who cares?
@@xBINARYGODx so only guys in youtube videos can have their pulled-out-of-asss interpretations of media, but us, mere audience, can't?
i apologise, your comment put me back in my place. i'll make sure to make a youtube video next time before i hint at my ass-pullings to be equal to someone else's ass-pullings ;)
Damn. This went by like a breeze. That’s fantastic pacing.
I was thinking the same thing. I could have sworn I was halfway through when the video ended.
No kidding. When I saw "continued in part 2" I really thought it was for an ad break. Really tightly put together.
@@regularshowman3208 what is this vid is it an episode of the show or some extra stuff?
Woah it’s 40 minutes. Coulda sworn it was half that
I like how the show goes off the rails after this. It's like driving down a mountain and just before that last turn you send it over the cliff. Maybe the car lands, maybe it just crashes through the front window of the person you love.
The show got worse from here on out?
@@timothyhartanto I wouldn't call it worse but they had to ramp some things up after this and a lot changes from the usual format. It's still a great show but the last 3 seasons had some weak spots. They had some of the best episodes as well so it's definitely worth watching.
Worse is subjective. I liked it, but it had different priorities from the first few seasons.
@@timothyhartanto I guess I'll be the one to not mince words: It got so much worse, in every conceivable respect. Like...there are parts of this season, at least, that actually kind of work really well. It's different - not necessarily worse, but it clearly had different priorities and they were clearly experimenting in a way that works some times and doesn't at others. I was personally a huge fan of this show as a kid and gave up on it during Season Six, only picking it up again in like 2019. The end of Season Seven...well, the comment you're replying to is a spoiler. That's how the season ends - with House driving a car through Cuddy's home. That's how one of the main characters was written out of the show, the end to one of the show's major narrative arcs; the main character, that lovable badboy we're all supposed to like despite being an asshole, backtracking on all of his character development, and behaving like a teenage incel by lashing out violently in response to rejection. If you look around, you can still find contemporary reviews from the early internet...having actually seen maybe thirty of those early media blogs state that they would no longer be reviewing any episodes of House going forward because there was no point, as their review of that episode, is a big part of why I feel confident enough to say that, no, it was objectively a disaster. Some went into more depth about exactly how the writers had reached this point and why it was stupid; some just abruptly Stopped.
It's hard to watch but I appreciate it because it's the right thing to do
Broken is good and all but Wilson’s Heart is the best episode. Bar none.
ACHTUALLY ... the best was Help me. An episode that showed that House cared TOO much about his patients. A real tear jerker.
Dead and buried is overlooked
DNR is my favorite. When he explains to Foreman,why he treats him the way that he does, explains a lot about House’s character
Three stories is my favorite
I concur! But I really like DNR too. Shows the crux of his obsession very nicely.
03:05 "in the finale house fakes his death and comes back to life, just like you know who" - Mind immediately goes to Batman despite of everything that's been said up to that point.
I love your comment, so funny!
S2E11
"You don't like yourself. But you do admire yourself. It's all you've got, so you cling to it. You're so afraid if you change, you'll lose what makes you special. Being miserable doesn't make you better than anybody else, House. It just makes you miserable." - Wilson.
S3E07
"No, I mean, why my pad? Foreman, Cameron and Chase's pads are just as convenient. But their association with you is involuntary. They're employees. I associate with you through choice and any relationship that involves choice, you have to see how far you can push before it breaks. - And one day, our friendship will break and it'll just prove your theory that relationships are conditional and you don't need human connection or deserve it or whatever goes on in that rat maze of your brain." - Wilson.
Thank you for this video.
Have you seen scrubs?
That first thing - I remember when I saw it on tv and how it just stuck with me. I had health problems (still do) in the past and poverty and not so perfect parents when I grow up so being miserble was/is something Im used to. And ofc like very edgy teen I though that my pain somehow makes me special. Specialy since no one I know or see had so much misssery as I did. But this line...man, this line made me think. And see things into perspective. And I stoped seeing pain as a something special. Great writing at its best.
@@alexforce9 I can relate. Cheers.
I'm a big fan of House and of course the episode "Broken" as well, I'm literally in the middle of a re-watch of the show right now. I rarely see any analysis on TH-cam of the show or this great episode. Thank you for making this.
Woahhhh two channels I love, together at last!
I did not expect to see a comment from you on here. What a welcome surprise!
Lol. I just started rewatching the first season myself. 😅
Damn Brit has great taste in games and shows!?
oh hey it's the gaming brit himself!
Radiohead's "No surprises" in the background during the mental institution section was pleasant. Great stuff so far!
That's in the show.
@@HankFuller333 Lmao
@@HankFuller333 the music in the show was epic though.
Dude, you might not win a Pulitzer or be interviewed on 60 minutes, but you’re making a positive difference in the world by doing this show. I have also marathoned House in double digits but have so much to analyze about the substance, the relationships, the story arcs, and the characters studies I can never find the time to vocalize them as articulately as you have. I admire you. Thank you for this!!
I've seen that episode of house waaaay before learning of Lin-Manuel Miranda, so seeing him at 8:17 caught me off guard.
@Alexander Supertramp because when I first saw him, I had no clue who he was or what his name was. At the time, he was just another random extra.
His lines make me think he may have been working on Hamilton at the time. Pretty funny seeing him in all the old little bit roles he had in a lot of shows.
@@Neverwas_one Oh, I just looked into this. According to Wikipedia, in 2008 Lin-Manuel read Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton which is what inspired him to write a rap about Hamilton that he performed at the White House in May of 2009.
The first episode of House M.D that he stared in aired in September of 2009, so yeah, its quite possible he had Hamilton on his mind when acting out this character.
Same for me and also Andre Baugher. Brooklyn 99!!!
@@DPadGamer at 22:35 you can hear him rap a little and its definitively from Hamilton or a early verse
(Sees Part 1 of 6 during self-quarantine) “A surprise to be sure but a welcome one!”
Hate this meme, like if you weren't in quarantine you wouldn't watch it
@Alexander Supertramp You sure showed me lmao
I'm too busy rioting to go back into quarantine.
I agree. Broken would have been a good closing point for House. Unfortunately, the show went on and House's progress was eventually unraveled.
I'm curious - why was the season 6 finale not just as of good of an ending if not better than broken?
@@vranime3772 i loved the s6 finale cuddy ending up with house was my dream scenario. The showrunners letting lisa edelstein walk for money was the worst decision, not the series going on too long
@@broidk8291 I really hated how House got worse and worse every following season. When he got with Cuddy I thought we were gonna end on a happy note and that's that. But holy fucking shit he went to jail, I didn't enjoy the prison arc or after he came out. I dropped the show shortly before the finale and I still can't bring myself to go back and finish it.
@Jay9966 the ending it got in s8 was waaaaay better and very much so on point for House's character.
This show got me through the worst year of my life when I was suicidal. The show was so immersive it took me away from my problems. I couldn't stop watching, and I could probably say the same that I've seen most of the episodes 20 times too... with the exception of seasons 7 & 8. Seasons 1 & 2 are the best imo but I really love season 6 too for Broken. I'm a big proponent of mental health so having House face his demons said a lot to me and I enjoyed watching that process unfold. (Honorable Mention Baggage here b/c that was stellar seeing him engage in therapy.)
@lacym9278
I hope your emotional status has improved these past two years!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Halfway through this part, and it's incredible analysis so far. House was a cultural juggernaut that seems to have been more-or-less forgotten since it ended, where other shows of the era, whether good or bad, seem to persist in our shared memory. It deserves a full "warts-and-all" retrospective. Can't wait for parts 2-6.
@@caitlyncarvalho7637 he treated lungs in a box once, and also a sex doll
Gone but certainly not forgotten
Lol, this episode is bait to get fans watching, he goes on to shit on the series for not being woke enough in Episode 3.
@@mankeez5892 really? That's sad

Wait... house speedrun when?
@@DearValentina 👌
nice to see you here
I appreciate "Broken". If only for how [relatively] realistic the madhouse is portrayed. Mine was less luxurious but the important part, how House feels there, is shown almost flawlessly. First, he lusts for freedom, then understands that the more he resists the longer is his stay, which is the cornerstone of being admitted. The phases he goes through there - I know them too well. And his conversations with the doc are very authentic. Also, he didn't have to learn that mental illnesses are very real the hard way, but it worked dramatically, it was a shocking lesson for the audience. Which, certainly, didn't make everyone happy since a good portion of people can't empathize and still thinks that a sick mind can be cured with a walk in the park, optimism, and some labour. Can't say I blame them, it's hard to imagine unless you're sick yourself or have sick relatives. The creators did their research, captured the feel of it all. And you did a great job dissecting it.
My favorite episode will always be “Three Stories.” Just absolutely perfect. I, too have seen every single episode multiple times, although I was in my 30’s when the series first started.
This 40m vid was so fascinating it felt like only 10m
"Help Me"(S06E21) is the most memorable episode for me. So many things happening in that episode, I wrote an analysis on it(Just for my own study). Maybe my favorite but don't remember them all. I guess I have to watch the show again for the 4th time
Help me is my favorite/most memorable episode as well. It’s brilliant.
My favourite too. Amazing episode.
To me, E21 & E22 feel reletable. I`m not a genius, I`m not an addicted, but I am in restoring my self from several diseases(physical one, phyological one, etc etc).
I already made a comment, but this would fit to reply your cooment.
"But sometimes, it doesn`t work unfortunately. And especially the one who closes him/herself for self-protection opened up, it would be very very painful. like this :
"THAT'S THE POINT! I did everything right. She died anyway!"
Season 6 does slow build-up for this moment. He try to change his approach, He did the best things at the time, but he doesn`t get much happier. Many people who are watching this feel like repetitive, I know. But, The physical/phycological illness and restoring process are... repetitive, actually. You sometimes think like this ; "Well, It did not work AGAIN. Why do I have to this of which I don`t like at all. I just wanna eat a chocolate bar, even if it makes me faint. I fainted this time again, whatever I did anyway, right?". And Season 6 of House M.D catched this pain so, so, well."
My only critique of House and when he hurts himself when he’s withdrawing to “release endorphins” isn’t accurate. When you get hurt during opiate withdrawal, it hurts so much more than usual, and your brain cannot make those chemicals on its own anymore. So don’t try it lol
Perhaps that's a reflection of House's state at that point; seems like quite an oversight for such an accomplished M.D.
Bang on, Tiny Gypsy. I've been there! Hope you got through it :)
I think his explanation is a lie - psychological, a sudden pain in one area overrides you noticing or paying attention to another pain, so you get a break from one pay in exchange for another. It was why he smashed his hand in the earlier scene - I think he went for slicing because you can draw it out more (cut a little more slowly).
Or the writers are human and all that - even the best shows have bullshit in them (I mean in terms of the rules of the fiction, not them breaking the rules of real life).
@@xBINARYGODx I agree its based on the gate control theory of pain
@@xBINARYGODx i agree this makes more sense. this was why I self harmed when I was in the middle of a mental breakdown a decade ago, it didn't make me feel happier or better, it helped me focus on something small. It made the pain from that injury override the bigger, nastier pain I was feeling mentally. In the long run it was a terrible decision though. It was one more thing I had to work through and overcome once I got help.
Watching the series before and after chronic pain/disability set in and wrestling with doctors to even try to give me pain killers sufficient to be productive, the show takes on a whole new meaning. I literally cry on the bus scene that happens later on in the series.
I can't wait for this entire series. You are amazing at what you do!
TheVolgun Get off youtube and get back to work Dr Miller!
Didn’t expect seeing you here , love your vids
What you talking about they're all out right now I've binged them at least six times
@@devilishdemon13 because my comment was from three months ago and part one was uploaded three months ago, I posted this comment when part one was the only video available.
Fancy seeing you here mate. Love your content
I'm not embarrassed to say that as an aimless young adult, I modeled myself after House. It didn't win me more friends (nothing had before anyway), but I liked it. More importantly, I liked myself.
As I grew older, I recognized there were a lot of problems with basing your personality after a fictional character, especially one who is as toxic as House, so I changed and I grew up some more. But the core of that person, the relentless pursuit of truth, the refusal to let stupidity win, the irreverence in the face of defeat, and the ability to let go of pain and move on, that has been the best parts of me. And I learned that from this series.
Thanks for this analysis. Hope to see the rest of it soon.
True. Nobody can act like house in the real world and thrive. But his apparent passion for the truth isn't a bad quality.
I actually did the same thing! I got really sick in my early twenties and started watching it when I couldn’t go to college or really function anymore. I was already pretty bitter and on a shit load of pain meds so it sorta helped me through that time. Then after I got better about 7yrs and a couple near death experiences later, I started to analyze myself and change and could see the flaws in House a lot differently. This show definitely had a huge impact on my life and I was really sad when it ended. I rewatched it recently and the ending is always so sad and somewhat anticlimactic for me...
I'm sort of going through that fase now as young adult, would any of you care to elaborate a little on how your perspectives changed on the character and it's personality and it's influence on your lives over time? Guess I would benefit from the perspective of others who went through something similar
@@Zsooltt House lacks a lot of self-awareness in his actions and though he maybe reasonable to a certain extent his actions hurt the people around him. His redeeming quality is that he is good at solving puzzles. But it's arguable if he is a good doctor or not because in real life doctors treat patients and it's not always about solving puzzles.
House has plot armor and the people close to him give him a million chances. In our own lives if you are hurting some one else they have no obligation to help or stay. But we inevitably have to find some one to support us unless you are one of those true introverts who doesn't need any one at all and don't feel lonely/depressed(which im not quite convinced exists). We have to learn self awareness so that we aren't being shitty to other people with out knowing it, and if we knew we were being inadequate we have to consider how to to make amends. House may not always be wrong but we are wrong all the time and it's hard to admit.
This is a smidge rambley but I hope you can understand.
'ability to let go of pain and move on'
definitely interesting the contrast between his reaction to emotional/psychological pain and to physical pain
This inspired me to watch the entire house series, it was so worth it
I always thought that I was the only one this obsessed with House. Yes there are other shows that are objectively better (Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Chernobyl). To me however House is a show that is uniquely captivating.
Oh, I'm so ready for this. Gimme that 6 hours of content.
Perfection. House really hits different when your an adult. Can’t wait for the rest of your series.
*you're an adult
Loved it as a kid. Can't watch it now without cringing now. He is a narcissist piece of sh**. The amount of plot amour in house is insane. Why all the characters indulges him is because the plot demands them to. There is no rational reason. And worst of all cuddy and wilson
@@solarydays maybe i wasn't clear, i watched it recently as an adult and quit along the way.. i couldn't bring myself to sympathize with him, and he is not as smart as i used to think he was as a kid.
openly risking patient care and treatment again and again and getting away with it.. come on, the very definition of plot amour
cuddy and wilson are grown ass adults. house did not pick them they picked him too and kept indulging him why.. because plot amour.
they kept saying he was saving lives.. what lives? firemen and nurses save way more lives than he ever did.. plot amour.
he was losing a lot of money for the hospital.. plot amour.
there are laws, rules and responsibilities in the real world(house m.d. world). why a rational adult will put up with his shit and break the law..
chase, cameron and foreman were not that desperate enough.. its not like he owned the hospital, he was a mere employee.. again plot amour
the series is just too ridiculous, it doesn't hold up within its own universe.
being edgy or a narcissistic piece of shit who acts like a petulant child with a lot of plot amour wast compelling t.v. enough for me.
don't get me wrong i loved house as a kid but i also loved barney the purple dinosaur.. (barney still holds up though)
@@solarydays I really do not understand why keep trying to make this personal. leave my sheltered life out of this.
learn to disagree dude. Where exactly do you disagree with what I said? Please quote me so I can respond accordingly.
@@solarydays sigh.. this is personal => "..you must live some very sheltered life, good for you"
"learn to disagree dude.." meant do not make it personal. i can't believe you even took that out of context.
i was really looking forward to your take though.. have an awesome day :)
OH, HELL YES! I'm so into this. I have such complicated feelings for House MD, having found it at 15, when I was a lonely and depressed "gifted kid". House got me through a bad time by making it worse. I'm so happy there's a video essay for it. I will watch and update my comment accordingly.
EDIT: I was not left dissapointed - rather, excited and subscribed to your channel. A promising start, already with exceptional editing and writing. I'm so glad to finally have a space (apart from mostly dead forums and fanfiction sites) to discuss house again.
Same here. I idolized him too much and was basically a mini house in personality without the super brain to back it up
“House [show or the character?] got me through a bad time by making it worse.” Such an elegant paradox. Perhaps you’ll update here one day and enlighten us about how that was true?
@@Orson2u thank you! And gladly. I was very smart and very weird as a Teenager (feels like that's a comorbidity 😂) and oh so incredibly lonely. I was convinced the only thing that gave me any shred of worth was my smarts and talents, and those things exclusively. I was also quite uncool, and never able to show off my quick wit when it mattered. I had the need to be liked by everyone. The way House pathologically pushed people away might have been toxic and unhealthy, but 15-year old me wished to have even a smidge of that confidence.
House was the opposite of my uncool self, while also being super smart, and thus incredibly cool to me. Aspirational, in a lot of aspects.
I had a very tough time in school and thinking back I think I was quite depressed and burned out. I clung to everything that might bring me some relief - so when I saw House cutting himself during the Tritter arc to get some relief from his pain... yep, 15-year old me decided that might be a good idea. I might have been very smart, but damn, I was dumb 😂 Well, I was going through some shit, but still.
I also internalized some of house's toxic thought patterns, as the aforementioned feeling of being worthless without the special skill one has that sets one apart from others. I wish I had just gone to therapy. 😂 But house (the show) is also just very compelling. Incredibly so. The characters and relationships on that show are fascinating to me, to the extent that I spent the following years reading tons of fanfiction. That gave me some much needed relief from my real life at the time.
Looking back at all that, I'm just really glad that that time is over and I'm flourishing at university and have found confidence and the knowledge that worth is inherent, and also friends who love and accept me. I'm very sorry to 15-year old me. I would have been very different had I not watched house at that age, but I can't say if for the worse or better. Both probably 🤷🏻♀️
I hope I didn't bore you with all that 😅
Stacy was his wife at the time he got his operation. She was the one who gave consent to go ahead with the procedure. That became a bone of contention and eventually led to their divorce.
I was a teenager too when this series came out and I geeked out. I remember thinking 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' is the theme song of my college life lol.
I always loved this show. It's a drama dealing with some of the great questions of life disguised as a medical show and it's all connected through one character. This episode brings that into focus perfectly.
Great video, couldn't even feel the length.
I have watched seasons 1 to 3 so many times, I wrote my favourite quotes in a notebook from memory. Still have that notebook, and still need to watch seasons 5 and 6.
Somehow, after season 4, I found it hard to get back into it. But watched the last episode to see how it ended. It was quite satisfying and made me miss the show.
House is easily one of the most underrated shows of all time.
Yup. For sure.
In 2008, Eurodata TV Worldwide announced that House was the most-watched show in the whole wide world in 2007, with more than 81.8 million viewers in 66 countries.
It was never underrated and probably never will be since shows like that don't come to life anymore (especially with a main character who, say, can make fun of a black guy and a jew at the same time)
The "Everybody lies" stuck with me throughout my work, not for patients, but for customers.
25:47 i cant believe copyright law happened to cause this scene to be more thematically appropriate with more cartoony violence than the pseudo-realism of stewie abusing brian
I don't think it was a copyright issue; isn't that footage from Courage the Cowardly Dog? If I'm right, it's not generic at all and I'm guessing the Family Guy crew disallowed the use of their footage.

Man I love this show. I discovered it in my early 20's around when season 3 was airing on TV. I remember going to Blockbuster(remember those kids!?) and renting the season 1 & 2 dvd's and binging them. I did watch the show to the end, but I never bought any of the dvd's past season 6 because that was the end of the show for me as well. For a couple of years I had to deal with a ruptured disc in my back that pressed on my sciatic nerve and made me limp. I went as House for two Halloweens in a row and still have the flame cane. I would pop advil like vicodin.
I had never once watched an episode of House, but it's one of my wife's favorite shows. So I ordered the whole 8 seasons as a cheap box set from walmart at a stupid good price. I was in love from episode one, and binged the series while waiting for the arrival of our first daughter. So far the first part of this essay is great. Can't wait to listen to the other 5.
In the past two weeks, I felt very anxious and stresses because of work and the pandemic. But in the first two minutes of this video, I felt less anxious and more relaxed. I guess House feels like home to me as well. House is my all-time favourite TV show. I always thought It would be so cool if someone made a movie about the events after the series ended. As the philosopher Jagger once said, you can't always get what you want. But as it turns out, sometimes you get what you need.
I remember loving watching House when I was younger my whole family use to sit down and watch it together it's great that someone is analyzing this great show
I NEED the other 5 parts of this. House is my favourite TV series and I love these long-form analyses. I'm hooked
House was is and will always be perfect
this show was a masterpiece between comedy and drama
House accepting that he needs help is an amazing scene.
Honestly couldn’t tell you how long I’ve wanted a series like this. Been a huge fan of house and have watched it numerous times as well. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Captain Holt isn't just a father figure for Jake Peralta, he's one for House, too
omg, every word you say at the beginning is how I feel. I love HOUSE because it's such a big part of me - I'd even say it's a significant part of my personality. May be that's why I don't rewatch it so often: because it brings me to the times it mattered so much and reflected so much.
Best editing story telling and amazing viewpoint, the clips were taken very carefully and chosen with such amazing precision that even tho I have watched it more then 12times I have missed or not payed attention to evey single detail that was mentioned, besides the title alone is impressive to say the least
It's a small detail in a video packed with great content, but; the explosion over House's shoulder at 5:14 was really nicely edited haha. The perspective and ratio is fantastic.
This was a beautiful outlook on a personality and show that shaped part of my adolescent. Thank you for this man, I always love your ways of storytelling!
I appreciate that you used no surprises by Radiohead house and no surprises are a perfect mix (or any Radiohead songs in general)
I loved this show. Never missed an episode. When I got older I realized you are lucky to get one doctor to listen to you for one minute rather than a team all working on the problem.
This is the best analysis,one of my fav vids that I discovered on entire platform and finally somebody saw the Sam similarities that I have seen between him an my all time fav author - Conan Doyle's character which he based as u mentioned on real person, fun fact: Arthur was very intelligent journalist before he became a writer ,he just had one column in a magazine but beforehand he was a doctor himself and received education and I would not be surprised if he loved in this era that he would have written a character just like House
Damn, that really was a good video, and the "part 1 of 6" makes me even more excited. You're really good, your voice and pace are fantastic!
Thrilled I found your page, House is also my favorite series of all time. The best writing and acting I've ever seen. Your analysis of the series is brilliant! I've watched it through at least 6 times so far over the years and many rewatching of various episodes.
I was youngish when my dad started watching house and I'd never seen him laugh at a show or anything for that matter as much as he did with almost every episode of house. I love this show because of him and It's by far in my top 3. right up there with breaking bad and death note.
I watched the entire show during summer brake. And I loved all of it
god, can't tell you how much i needed this, this series marked a good portion of my life and seeing an homage to it at this level is just beyong amazing, thank you.
Thank you!! House is one of those shows that is such a big part of me. Watched it on tv as it came out, and then over and over in my itunes library as a teen. Amazing to see some discussion on a show that’s been sorely needing it. So grateful to you for all this hard work, I’m sure you can see it strikes a chord in so many. More please!!❤️🧡
I think this is my third rewatch of your video essay series on House, and its tough to really enunciate how well you bring people along with you to experience and reflect on a series so cared about. Really breaks through, ya know? Thanks mate
I remember my chemistry teacher played this episode for the class, and once Radiohead came on I became obsessed with this show
This show is the reason I went into medical school. At the start, I saw him as the misunderstood hero exactly because of the framing. Now I just hope I don't meet somebody like this in my line of work, he would be a really bad medical professional regardless of how smart he is.
Explain why
@@AverageAlien he constantly violates rules that in real life would get the hospital in so much legal trouble.
@@asimplewizard True but a doctor can still have his personality technically
@@AverageAlien If it wasn't pure fiction a doctor like him would kill a lot more people than they saved. Please remember that, while based on some reality, it's a fake medical show. Legal issues wouldn't even be the biggest problem.
Think about the money he would bring in to the hospital tho
Excellent first episode of this series, I can't wait to get through the rest of this. House was such a formative show for me as well and it's great to see someone give it a proper breakdown.
As someone who was a big fan of House in my teens, I think you do a really good job of nailing what made the show so compelling its really the characters especially House. I realized this show and House as a character really set me up to like someone like Elliot from Mr Robot and Rust Cohle. Thanks and I look forward to the next video.
I'm so glad you're doing this!! I recently watched House after hearing it mentioned in passing in other youtube videos and essays, and it's absolutely my favorite show, but I haven't seen any essays on it. I'm really looking forward to watch all the parts as they come out!
Watching Hugh Laurie go from comedy roles when he started acting to serious roles later on, Idk which ones he embodies better more, gotta tip my hat to the man he is brilliant:) !
It’s quite an interesting trend to see comedy actors go into serious role, and NAILING IT.
Barry is one great example, love it!
I just discoverd your video series so far im loving it. House holds a truly special place in my heart and i so rarely see content about it. The sheer amount of work you have put in shows the passion you share for the show
Wow! Thanks, Jesse Tribble for this amazing video essay. Some things that I noticed when I watched House, is how the side characters, the guest actors, and the extra characters compliment and/or challenge House into becoming a worse version or a better version of himself. An example that I can think of is S6, EP11 *Remorse* or The Psychopath when Doctor House tells her just to stop and tell them the truth and that little snip its gold! She turns into the real her. And it always gives some chills seeing her performance. And the way that House enjoys how complex she is and she becomes a puzzle he needs to read or solve. I love it! I'm so excited to continue the six-part video essay.
The episode where he hallucinates sleeping with Cuddy was horrifying.
Oh man this is brilliant. I always loved this show, and this analysis brings it all back.
I hadn't even thought of till you brought it up, but ending House with Broken might put it up there with the greatest TV shows ever made.
Even the cinematography of cutting away as House smiles is just so perfect.
Broken is without a doubt the best episode of House. Appreciate this, thank you so much.
This has me hooked! Can't wait for the rest. Love House, loved your analysis and depth.
Jessi! I love your video essays so much and I'm so surprised, another favorite of yours is linked to my own taste, with me also having rewatched house over 10 times probably.
And with Broken being one of my absolute favorite episodes!
Thank you so much for revisiting this series, I always wondered what a House analysis/ video essay would be like, you fulfilled a longtime dream!
I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts and I believe that you summarized everything well enough for someone who has no or little knowledge about the show, to still enjoy and appreciate your editing skills and writing.
Great work on the sound mixing and line delivery as well!
Always looking forward to your next video, but really can't wait for you to upload part 2 :)
I love this show so much. It also feels like coming home to me. This is an awesome summary/analysis. I can’t wait to watch the rest of the series. Thanks for making.
thank you so much for this. i've watched House twice on my own in university and once with my mom, it was a real bonding experience for us.
i yelped when i saw your 6-part series of essays on the show that means a lot to me, too :) came here for the Birdman essay and got this gem
8:16 "ugh that dude has real Lin Manual Miranda vibes" i say to myself watching this having never seen the show
Thank you for doing it justice. Can't wait to watch the rest!
Thank you for chewing through my favorite series, you touched every point that I intuitively felt when watching it. Great breakdown, arguments, and conclusions. you are good!
I've watched the 4th ep of this analysis bc it got randomly recommend. The 20 minutes I watched was so good it made me rewatch House MD. just so I could watch and fully enjoy this amazing analysis series.
House the main character is the reason for the success of the show. period.
House was also one of my favorite shows. My favorite episode was One day, one room with Katheryn Winnick. It’s one of the few episodes where House let his guard down to expose the human underneath and one where I bond with him as an atheist.
i've wached the show once, and the description you gave in the beginning about it being like coming back home, that was god damn perfect
Thank you for this analysis.I’m a huge fan as well and really enjoy the thorough research on such a wonderful show.
Finally. I agree with what you said about House being your favorite show (mine too) but acknowledging there are objectively better shows out there, I'm a fan of video essays about shows like Breaking Bad that analyze the shit out of every single aspect of the show, and I've seen essays about House, but never at this level of production quality.
I'm super excited for all 5 parts to come and wish more people see your videos!
Hey man, I know I don’t know you; however I genuinely would like to say I’m proud of you for coming through with such a solid breakdown for one of my all-time favorite t.v. shows, created. I’ve already watched Part(s) 1 & 2. No lie, I just rewatched both, hahaha. I say proud, also in-part; because although they are in fact dense (as you stated) I don’t think you wasted the minutes utilized on these. Nor did it lose my attention all throughout. Also, it reminds me of the importance of consistency when it comes to remaining/staying active, especially during seasons such as these. You never know how much these might help someone! It tripped me out; because in times past, i eventually exhausted my searching efforts seeking out more House material. The difference with yours, is that you followed through on a spark/thought. The consistency paid off. Because the passion shines through! You did a great job ensuring that you’re not overdoing the voice-overs, tonality wise. Artist to artist, you did a great job, man! I’m glad that you followed through with all of the synopsis’ information given to us, so intricate. Never forget, that you’re just as important of an Artist, as the Director’s of this series were. Feel free to check out my works sometime, as well. And, even if you don’t; I’m still going to stay/remain subscribed - for sure, brother! God bless!! 🙏🏾 /// m.soundcloud.com/jeremeetyler
I still remember “Seven Day Mile” playing at the end of Broken, and while I still watched after that, I always see that episode as the ending. It’s awesome seeing House smile slightly on his way back.
I just watched House for the first time at the end of last year. I am so happy to have found this video analysis you've conducted! I see you haven't posted in 2 years but please know how grateful we are for your channel and even in April 2023, we're still watching it! :)
From someone finally going through treatment right now
This hit closer to home, than I expected
Many grand blessings for you.
As someone with a Masters degree in clinical psychology and knowledge in psychodynamic theory, your analysis of houses character and personality is actually very insightful and precise :)
Show-off
@@guccigang9307lolololol
Blessings everyone everywhere and always
3 years that i keep watching this series over and over again what a great analysis of what it feels to watch and like Dr. House.
Just stumbled upon this and it's amazing! House was something I enjoyed when I was younger and still enjoy watching and discussing. Looking forward to finishing your series!
I watched this show once from start to end, and I remember slowly falling in love with it.
I was scared to re-watch it because I was scared to ruin it for me, but this series looks like EXACTLY what I needed.
Sooooo excited to watch the rest of it and I know it's going to be great!!
Thank you!!!!
I have always believed that House is very underrated. It was popular, yes. But it was slept on by so many people.
Broken is genuinely my favourite episode of TV ever, I go back to it every couple months
My favorite show in decades. Thanks for this. Knew all the trivia but it's great to see this breakdown.
