Hugh is the best casting choice to play Dr House. Also, he is best delivering sarcastic remarks on the show

[lucimorningstar]

I like the ep where a girl comes in and coughs without covering her mouth, and House says to her; "Four parents and not one of them taught how to cover your mouth." I absolutely love that scene.

[prabhodk]

House is top ten drama shows of all time easily, an immaculate performance by Hugh Laurie and great humour.

[Typical.Anomaly]

"I'm dead, Wilson. How do you want to spend your last five months?"

[samwetherhold]

I loved this show from the pilot episode... Never missed a new episode. Such an underrated show!

[tylerfields]

Great list! There’s only one missing however.
Foreman: “you stash your drugs in a lupus textbook?”
House: “It’s never lupus.”

[brianlipensky]

My favorite of his quips are the ones where his opponents are prepared to fight back with equal vinegar, mostly Cuddy and Wilson, but his students or patients as well.

[maxpreston]

They cut short his banter with the girl that doesn't feel pain. One of the best exchanges of the show immediately follows the cut:
- "Boys can't hold me for too long because I overheat"
- "Girls can't hold me for too long because I only pay for an hour"

I just finished all eight seasons last year. Hugh is awesome.

- House!... 1980's.
- You sure? They weren't specific.
- How much did it cost you to rent that?
- Was in Wilson's bag 🤷🏻‍♂️

[smoothhandsjimmy]

Amazing that his American accent is part of his acting!

[JoanJennings]

I worked for “Dr House.” A brilliant, short tempered cranky research physician who, like House, hated clinic duty. He wrote 3 of the RDAs you see on all your food packaging.

[JasonMistretta-wfip]

House, MD is just one of those shows that you can just watch over & over again and not be bored. House's sarcastic quips are just brilliant!

[Typical.Anomaly]

I shit you not, I just started S01E01 of this last night. You peeking in my window at night, MsMojo? 😏🤣🤣

[jakecumber]

“I’ll give you the same meds we give republicans” from s2E3 ((Humpty Dumpty again) with Foreman’s/House’s clinic patient: an elderly African American man who is sceptical of a medication that is more beneficial to black people. House has several gems when talking to the patient, the above line being my favourite, but close second place for the delivery is “On the theory you didn’t trust him because he’s black? “

[bbsy]

Not a sarcastic comment, but the reverse of the sleeping on his arm guy; the young guy with the broken finger. He was respectful because he was genuinely slow, but a good person.

[example]

This is the video I've asked for for so many years, they could do 3 parts to this

[rubygracemoseley]

I applaud you for actually making a list 😂 I wouldn’t be able to do that. There are so many hilarious, awesome quotes in each episode let alone throughout the entire show

[geraldineclarke]

No English actor has ever done a better American accent thah Laurie.

[molo]

The most memorable comeback for me was where they were trying to "treat" the teacher in the car accident for her heart to transplant it. Camerron asks "we're going to cure death?" And Houses reaponds with that frankenstein laugh and then with doubt it. Lmao😂😂
