Doctor Reacts To VIRAL Medical Sketches

From Portlandia, Monty Python, Robot Chicken, College Humor to Studio C I am going to react to some viral & hilarious medial sketches! A few months ago I reacted to the funniest medical sketches from Saturday Night Live, and you all asked me to react to some more clips that aren’t from SNL. I scoured YouTube for the most hilarious medical skits I could find and eventually pulled together a really strong group from Portlandia, Monty Python, Robot Chicken, College Humor, and Studio C. Outside of laughing, I managed to find opportunities to discuss appendectomies, separating conjoined twins, depression, Web MD, cancer, and Leroy Jenkins, among other things. Anything else I missed? Let me know in the comments below!

I’m looking to hire an additional editor! Please read below to learn more about the position and how to apply:

Responsibilities: Edit 1-2 videos a week, including original videos on YouTube/other platforms, or syndicated cut downs on Facebook, Snapchat, IGTV, TikTok, etc.

Qualifications: Significant experience editing videos specifically for YouTube, ideally those that are talent-focused and straight-to-camera. Elite grasp of Adobe Creative Suite and/or DaVinci Resolve. Adobe After Effects a huge plus. “One person band” preferred, meaning an editor who can edit, color, mix, and finish a project all on their own. Extremely fast internet connection required. Must have a strong familiarity with emerging digital video culture and an avid consumer of YouTube content. Sense of humor/personality/style showing through in your cuts would be highly valuable.

Perks: Highly competitive pay, full-remote workflow, part time-full time + benefits opportunities, open to international applicants, flexible hours. Looking to partner talent/motivated individuals in!

I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

Sketch: So basically the joke is that the doctor is bad at his job
Dr. Mike: This sketch is inaccurate. The doctor is so bad at his job

[betas]

Dr Mike: Wants to hire an editor

Me on google: *how to edit*

[stormyjames]

7 years younger than Dr. Mike and slightly appalled that he doesn't know what Monty Python is 🤣

My mom had a routine pap smear and came home really pissed because a group of people walked in DURING her pelvic exam and all the doctor said was, "Oh, these are medical students observing procedures for the day, don't worry about them". Not every doctor acts like a professional and not every doctor cares about how the patient feels. So when I find a good doctor I stick with them and recommend to all my friends. I've heard some weird stuff from my friends over the years and had a couple bad experiences myself.

dr mike is gonna be the kind of dad that you can’t show a meme to because you’ll end up getting a lecture instead

[BraxtonKovary]

Studio C had some of the best sketches on the internet back in the day.

[AlwaysAndForeverV]

2:08 Studio C!! YES!! Love that show, at least the old ones.

[groudon]

I love how serious he is when he is watching these medical sketches

[StudioCtv]

We're honored to be here. Oh and if you ever need surgery yourself just let us know... (we know a guy)

[DianavanderPluijm]

"But then I noticed... the knife."

Doctor Mike: * facepalm*

Me: Yep, that's about right.

fun fact - if you have both major depressive disorder AND dysthymia (now called persistent depressive disorder), it’s nicknamed “double depression”. my psychiatrist told me this in an attempt to cheer me up about the diagnoses 😂

[LeftyConspirator]

I've had dysthymic periods in my life (part of PDD), and I wasn't always grumpy. It was more like a feeling of persistent weariness, where I was never able to fully enjoy anything because I knew it was fleeting and I didn't think I really deserved it anyway. It's pretty bad, 0/10, would not recommend.

"But then I noticed the knife."
Well, my own cause of death appears to have been laughter.

[DrCellini]

Lol when he slaps that pt for “reflexes”

[The_Kirb]

I love the old studio C cast they're so funny

[dylanwenz]

Fun fact about the Monty Python sketch, Graham Chapman (the blonde one) was actually a qualified doctor but never went forward with his medical career because his comedy career took off. We can see how much he really learned in med school 😂

[HalcyonSerenade]

2:25 "You don't start saying you 'need CCs' of _anything_ "

What if _CCs_ stands for *_Chest Compressions_* ?? 🤔 :O

[muhammadfarhanatif]

Never clearly understood medical sketches, but him getting triggered is fun to watch.

[brianhernandez]

The way they shake the baby was actually hilarious and now I feel like a bad person

[criticalmass]

This is an old video but I'm doing a binge watch of Dr Mike's stuff. I can't stop laughing at how outraged & serious he is explaining why these comedy sketches are SO WRONG! (because we all believe the appendix sits directly behind the heart) 😂
