Hugh Laurie is such a genius, not only can he nail the American accent but his Chinese has a very heavy American accent too.

[ccggenius]

I mean, it's a British man trying to speak Mandarin with an American accent, of course it's going to sound off.

[AndrewBarsky]

The Chinese levels on both of the guys are pretty decent. Hugh even speaks Chinese, as a British actor, in an American Chinese accent. Rather impressive. Shenjingbing translates to “crazy” and he says it much like I do. Bravo!

[MarijnvdSterre]

For everybody saying it is not really Mandarin/Chinese he is speaking I have news for you. He isn't really a doctor either! -- Minds blown! --

[norrislandon]

The most impressive thing was that House wrote the recipe while talking.

I like how everyone is complaining about a fictional characters mandarin... at least they’re showing you what he’s trying to say

[sheffk]

For non-tonal language speakers, it's extremely hard to pronounce the tones correctly, especially in a sentence.

[argonwheatbelly]

When he says, "How much do you want?", it almost sounds like Klingon. Really good Klingon.

What about the one with the Chinese teen girl and the sick mother where the girl mistranslate to get the pills

[GameTesterDev]

I learned Mandarin in Shanghai for 6 years... It was crystal clear to me

[antislutful]

It's a good enough effort. He probably had only a few hours of combined prep time in these two episodes plus the one with the Chinese American girl and her mother.
It's still incomprehensible though

1:55 is one of my favorite moments in the whole show

[freyag]

Why's everyone focusing on Hugh's Chinese? Apparently the Chinese-looking women doesn't really speak it either.

[ontariobuds]

OK people, once you have seen over 50 comments about how his Mandarin doesn’t sound proper don’t comment. You are just mulling over the same shit.

I love the cook!!!! Lady kiss him or leave!!!! We've got work to do

[GaryLamb]

Why are so many people getting on him for how he enunciates in a Foreign language? Have you ever gone to a Chinese restaurant and try to order something?

Get your head out of your asses!

[assassintwinat]

Chinese is a tricky language to learn. Likely they just told him basic pronunciation, and nothing about tones. But, to be fair, most Chinese people can't understand Jay Chou, either. xD

[Caseytify]

THAT was funny, including the blackmail.

[harikiran]

He's the British man in American accent that speaks not only English but also Mandarin & Spanish! Wow could someone tell me how did this guy get time to learn all these and also complete his med school and higher degree's?

[wiscgaloot]

Alice In Wonderland syndrome! I have had it many times, particularly as a child when I had the flu and a high fever. The patient is right--those pills might look HUGE to him. Football size. And previously they were pinhead size. It isn't a fun hallucination.
