I still remember watching an interview with him only after watching the entire series and how mind blowing it was to me that he was English.

Wasn't he well known in the US before House? I mean.. Blackadder?
Fry and Laurie is good too
101 Dalmations
Jeeves and Wooster ftw
I had heard/read that his commitment to the cain limp walk fucked up his gait in real life and caused him some issues lol. How awful
Happen to the actress in ER too. She walked with a limp in that show and it fucked her up.
He was quite well known in England. Fry and Laurie, Blackadder, etc.
The one that gets me is Dominic West. I saw him in The Wire first, and every time after I'm like "that's a decent English accent he's doing there. Oh wait."
I suspect I'm going to be the same with Shiv and Tom from Succession.
Dominic West.
Full name: Dominic Gerard Francis Eagleton West - fuck me! 😂
House prescribed cigarettes to Santa for the squirts. Miss that show.
And here is how he learned about the benefits of cigarettes: https://youtu.be/XewVicFzRxw
"Too much of everything is bad for you. That's what 'too much' means." is one of my favorite quotes of all time.
My IBS/Gastritis/thefuckIknow sometimes gets better after smoking on the weekend.
I rewatched recently and while there is a lot that’s dated as hell the show in general does hold up
The whole show outside of the barely plausible medical drama is about how awful House is as a human.
At every opportunity they go out of their way to spell out how horrible he is. He’s an egomaniacal drug addict with daddy issues and a borderline pedophile.
The most fun thing watching the show is counting the number of crimes he commits an episode.
I haven't seen all the episodes but I think the underlying point was he is an asshole with actual good intentions underneath. Like he doesn't care about the BS of being friendly, he just wants to get down to business of helping people.
It wasn't about helping people, it was about finding the solution to puzzles and proving that his solution was right. If that just happened to involve helping people, so be it.

Most of the time he didn't even have good intentions though. What motivated him more than anything was being right about everything. His ego always took precedence to anything else.
Is rare that he's not used in memes as the Joker, American Psycho or the guy from picky blinders.
What are some things you'd call dated? Genuine curiosity, it's been a while since I saw some episodes.
Most episodes featuring queer people, to start. There's an episode that portrays asexuality as a medical problem that can be cured for example. The intersex episode is another one that leaves a very bad taste in the mouth for a variety of reasons.

God I miss House
I miss Lisa Edelstein's cleavage
I've resisted adopting the phrase out of pocket, but it actually is perfectly reasonable to use here. What the fuck, Greg?
Did he pay for expenses out of his own money? Is he away from his usual station? I have a feeling this means I'm old.
Let's just repurpose existing phrases, nobody can stop us. House sure is watching the bottom line, huh?
"Out of pocket" meaning unruly, inappropriate, or out of control appears to have usage at least as far back as the 1940s.
In what of part of the English speaking world is this phrase used this way. I've only ever understood "out of pocket" to mean, to use immediately available resources to pay for something.
Yeah he's been really over the moon lately
Lit fo sho

Pretty sure they meant "out of hand"
It depends on how old you are.
When I was a kid it meant unavailable, now it means out of line.
You are a black man.
