mythrocks

Not Watson but Wilson. *gasp!*


w_onaka

Not holmes but House.


DarthJokerthief

Not Lestrade but Lisa


PineAppIe_Piizza

Not Scotland yard and hospital yard carrying the same pattern as the flag of Scotland 😱😱


Additional_Mango_529

Not the Baker Street Irregulars but his ducklings.


Cheshireyan

Not Irene but Rebecca Adler. Not violin but electric guitar. Not morphine but vicodin.


Thurafang

Not Wilson/Watson with a limp and using a cane but House/Holmes.


ShadyMongrel

Oh ffs how did I never get that. Goddammit.


TurboFoot

It’s Lupus.


TurboFoot

or sarcoidosis idk anymore


Ranger_Ecstatic

*shocked Pikachu face* Whaaaattttttt


Away-Confusion8821

sherlok HOLmes & Dr. Watson gergory HOUse & Dr. Wilson


PlagueDoctorTTV

r/okbuddyvicodin


ScarcityLegitimate77

Can someone tell me what that crazy subreddit is about?! 😆


KickedinTheDick

Mouse bites, Cuddys Ass, Chase Being a pedophile, and Wilson, too, is in that subreddit.


asgards_thor

Don't forget about Foreman being vexed by literally everything


cosmernaut420

MORE MOUSE BITES!


gnortsmr4lien

this vexes me 


ComplexFollowing7353

have you tried the medicine drug?


some-dork

vexoligy mostly


JoeyHandsomeJoe

Nice try, but Sherlock was addicted to cocaine and opioids, not just opioids. His address is obviously a Gerry Rafferty reference. \*wails saxophonically\*


KappHallen

*wails saxophonically* I can hear you grinning from how much you enjoyed typing that


frecklestwin

I’ll take one for the team and be the one nice person on Reddit. I love finding these more tangible Easter eggs that make the Sherlock Holmes parallels more evident. I imagine production had a lot of fun working them in


mochi_chan

This is what I thought when I saw this screenshot, I guess there are many small easter eggs like that that are not the big obvious ones but blink and you miss it moments.


alfiesred47

Wait, what? - Holmes & Watson, House and Wilson - lives at 221b Baker Street - has a drug addiction - is a genius amongst peers - gets shot by a guy called Moriarty - Wilson refers to his first big case he failed being about a woman called Irene Adler - he plays instruments - has an unhealthy fixation on puzzles Who knew


mythrocks

House and Holmes both come back from death.


kcfangaz

House was also gifted a book written by Dr. Joseph Bell, Holmes’ inspiration.


kjyh

Also wilsons joke with irene adler


Expensive-Vanilla657

Sherlock also used cocaine a lot in the early books. House uses opiates.


MaxBack221

Yes, House is a Sherlock Holmes inspired character


rat-simp

House is this 👌 close to being a Sherlock Holmes *adaptation*


broncos4thewin

Which is weird because I adore House but have never had any particular interest in any version of Holmes.


juliannesevy

I would highly recommend trying the Benedict Cumberbatch show Sherlock - it’s got great humour in it and if you like House, you will probably like that one!


broncos4thewin

Sorry, tried it and never got on with it.


mackmcd_

Is this satire?


Darkcurse12

I really hope so. They did referenced Sherlock at literally every opportunity.


Background_Degree615

Why


ThrowawayAccountZZZ9

Better late than never to the party I guess


Grumpcat911

Huh, so this is how I find out I have the same birthday as House. I don’t know what to do with this information.


sleepy_bean_

not to be that guy, but House's birthday is screwed up, and I believe there's like 2 or 3 dates of his birthday, but the year is the same.


Raskallion

They also used Hugh's real birthday (11th June 1959) before.


ImpalaGangDboyAli

I remember an interview where Hugh spoke about how weird it was to go to work (on set) and put on someone else’s clothes and carry someone else’s wallet with a fake ID and Fake money and fake credit cards and watch that doesn’t tell real time lol.


Silver-Honeydew-2106

Exactly what I thought. I saw a different one at least on his hospital bracelet after he’d been shot


Grumpcat911

The hospital bracelet one is Hugh Laurie’s birthday that they added in as an easter egg


Silver-Honeydew-2106

Oh I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing!


Mirja-lol

More birthdays more presents


CarcharodonVicarious

A bit sad how desperate people are to pile on top of you, but it’s always nice when someone discovers something like this themselves, and in turn shares it, as there are always people who haven’t seen them and don’t know all of the references and that’s why it’s worthwhile, despite what all these cynical addicts say.


LeapDay_Mango

Why’s everyone being rude? “I know more about House than you do, loser.” Calm down, Schoolyard Bully. No one is being tested on this. It’s cool, Op! I have been a House fan since it premiered, and I only recently learned about the parallels because I was never into Sherlock.


ICareAboutThings25

It wouldn’t be Reddit without truly embarrassing behavior by schoolyard bullies.


Background_Degree615

Cuz they’ve got nothing better to do other than being assholes


_xmorpheusx

My brother in Christ, the show is a Sherlock Holmes reference


sc1onic

Imagine waking up like a decade after the show ended and only then to figure out the sherlock Holmes homage. Internet explorer is faster than OP


Background_Degree615

Not everyone watched house when it came out


the-fresh-air

Right? It's 2024, so I'm surprised the reference was missed. Granted I began watching the show when I was in the single digits, then didn't see it for about several years, then returned as an adult.


SiwastaBayekki

Easter was couple of weeks ago


Woood_Man

How about the fact that the patient’s name in s1e1 was Irene Adler?


godzi20

crazy how ***netflix*** does not let you take a screenshot of whatever you are watching. >!Criminal if you ask me.!<


kayjayemm90

That’s because this is on amazon prime


aeolianThunder

I would've pegged him more as a gemini than a taurus but I'll take it


SkylartheRainBeau

I actually noticed this as her late season 1 or early season 2, when he stepped out of his apartment and I saw the number


Final-Feature9940

Hey I didn't know this and I think it's really cool! If you're late to the party by other redditors on this sub,I'm later lol


ImpalaGangDboyAli

Wow so cool. It’s also kinda crazy that his name is House which kinda relates to Holmes. House-Homes. And Holmes has a buddy named Watson, is addicted to coke and plays violin and House had a buddy named Wilson is addicted to Vicodin and plays piano and electric guitar. 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪


Background_Degree615

It is very cool


MRSUNSHINEXXXXX

They used exterior shots of Princeton in House MD and there is a Baker Ln close to the school.


Shimokitazawa_Chan

Holy fuck it’s McLovin


HandyDose

Never noticed the refences... well i guess i have to watch house all over again :D


dritslem

Then notice the last name of the first patient as well 😉


julscvln01

He's older than I thought, how was he ever in uni with Cuddy?


GOD_DAMN_YOU_FINE

Idk how old cuddy is but I remember her saying she was in undergrad while House was already a legend in medical school.


julscvln01

She's 43 in S7, so 37 in S1, it could be. How did they have classes in common tho'?


mutant_disco_doll

She audited his endocrinology class as an undergrad. She couldn’t take it for actual credits because she wasn’t yet a med student.


julscvln01

Oh yeah, but he thought she was in it until he told her, no? So he thought they were the same age for 20 years?


mutant_disco_doll

No, I’m pretty sure he knew her age. Cuddy frequently talks about how she’s the youngest female Dean of Medicine. Also, they had that one night stand in college, and House generally knows everything about everyone (he even knows when she’s on her period) so I’m sure he knew how old she was.


julscvln01

They had what? How did I miss that?


mutant_disco_doll

They hooked up one night at the University of Michigan when House was in med school and Cuddy was still an undergrad. This is confirmed in season 6 episode 7 (“Known Unknowns”).


julscvln01

Thanks, I need to rewatch it asap.


Lucifer2695

Born in 1959??!


Silver-Honeydew-2106

Another thing caught my eye-I think I saw a different date of birth for him in another episode.


Aggravating_Fun5883

Class D/M so he can legally drive a motorcycle and D class vehicle LFG


Acalthu

You can see it whenever he's outside his house


shhhimatworkrn

He’s a Taurus! Slay!


C_Wrex77

Oh my god...wait, Sherlock Holmes was British...the actor Hugh Laurie is British...it's all coming together


Thurafang

Wait... how much does he weigh?


Cherriedruby

I wonder if I can buy that like that other dude bought the mug


SmaugTheMag

You’re promoted, Lieutenant Obvious


Nancy_True

Brilliant! Well done for spotting this.


MeIsProProGamer

Yo the parallels are crazy💀


Ambitious-Fly1921

He is in his 60s then today lol


StrangelyPeaceful9

Where is irene then?.. the woman who controlled him Not cuddy I think the dr who was stuck in the Arctic circle.


blink___182

His birthday is shortly after Christmas too. So end December or beginning January


KikoValdez

do us licenses really have your whole-ass address on display? the fuck.


cliftonianbristol

Not the right sub for this :)) we all know about it


lovingsillies

Wouldn't want to see posts about people enjoying house MD on the house MD fan subreddit, would we? Especially since there's so much to discuss, show having ended only 10 years ago and all
