Paul the Human's awesome sig.
May 22, 2010 at 3:36 am
I recently discovered how Paul the Human, a member of these very forums has such an awesome forum signature.
"Humanity is overrated" is a quote from House from House M.D: No wonder it's so epic in merely a few words in text to be agreed as epic by at least a handful of forum members!
P.S: House rocks.

I didn't know that was a 'House' quote! I watch the show every week, but I honestly didn't know I was quoting him. 'Humanity is overrated' is just a line that sprung to mind for a signature based on my posting name. Same for the avatar. They kind of all happened at once.
P.S. I agree. House rocks.

Agreed.. House does rock.

Don't like "House M.D." Tried to watch it once. Seemed too predictable.
Look a sick person! What's wrong with her?
I dunno. Let's call House.
Hmmm... (poke poke prod prod) run some tests!
Tests are not conclusive OMG what do we do?
Let's do this and that.
NO! We can't do that! It's unorthodox!
Do it! And did I mention I'm crippled?
OMG! She's gonna die!
Maybe not if we do this! I can heal her but I can't heal myself!
SHE'S ALIVE!! Yay!!
Grumble grumble.. Everybody else gets healed why cant I? It's not fair I can't heal myself.
Repeat again next episode.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

I actually read an article about the inexplicable popularity of the show 'House'. We all know the formula... it's the same every week. You can look at the clock and/or count the diagnosis to determine if they are right this time or not and it's pretty reliably the same every week. Even though the show's audience knows this and even jokes about it, they continue to watch the show loyally and love every minute of it. Something about it just works. Hugh Laurie might have something to do with that.

I think its because the house character is so different from the other characters.
Hes an areshole, he knows hes an arsehole and he dosent care who else knows it.

If you think House is all about repeating medical mysteries, you haven't been watching the show properly. The numerous character development through constant backstories are the real focus of the show.
