"That's what a relationship is. We average our misery." I love this moment from Cuddy.

[@SR-71Blackbird]

this exact phrase completely disproves later ending of relationship, like gurl, what did you expect from narc who makes a living from solving puzzles of completely strangers to be completely mindful when stuff is directly bothering him? i was surprised that House was even coherent(more or less) during that episode

[@glass.hammer]

The producers wouldn’t renew her contract for the salary she requested. She was apparently getting quite a lot less than the other actors for quite a lot of character appearance. Hugh Laurie suggested that he take a pay cut to keep her on board, but he was refused by the suits. So she was fired. This was mid season so David Shore & co. were forced to cobble a pathetic end to her storyline. And we are worse for it. NBC loves to neuter their IPs for money. Lisa Edelstein was very under-appreciated.

Sociopath doesn't have sympathy or empathy for others, House does. You want famous fictional sociopaths try the American psycho, Joe Pesci from Good fellas or Casino, dreaded girl from the Wire the 4th season, that Narc from Leon, that Hemsworth's antagonist from "Furiosa".

[@katocs]

@@Ftrfgrd3232 Wrong. What youre describing is psychopathy, not sociopathy. Sociopaths can experience a wide range of emotions, they can feel empathy for others but its more inhibited, whereas psychopaths totally lack it alltogether. They are able to form emotional bonds whereas psychopaths aren't or only are in a certain way that suits them. House is almost a textbook sociopath, he has no regard for the law, he frequently says or does horrible things to people without any remorse because he wants to follow his own convoluted path that he considers "correct" without caring what it does to people around him. He has substance abuse issues. He brutally verbally abuses people, knowing full well that its obviously gonna hurt them but he just does not care, like when he told Cuddy that its a good thing she failed to become a mom because she sucks at it when her first adoption attempt failed. He made Wilson believe that he has a child and let them bond before revealing it was just an actor, he dosed 13 with caffeine making her think she's starting to suffer from Huntingtons and essentially forced her into doing a test even though she didnt want to, making the decision for her because he thinks its right even though its not up to him at all, he doses cuddys mom in this episode because he finds her annoying and this is just the tip of the iceberg of a long list of morally black area stuff he has pulled. He causes pain for patients in almost every single episode just to confirm hunches without any care or remorse because all that's important to him is being right and solving the puzzle, he is incredibly reckless with treatments and tests in general. He does have close attachments to a very few amount of people but even these attachments are incredibly challenging for him, as he still ignores his friends/partners emotions, lies to them or decieves them in some form most of the time. All of these characteristics fit sociopathy to a T Do you honestly believe a "normal" person would even remotely be like this? And if not, what other condition do you believe he has? lol.

[@Ftrfgrd3232]

@@katocs psychopath is a sociopath with logic according to you

[@katocs]

@@Ftrfgrd3232 psychopathy and sociopathy are related and therefor emit similar symptoms such as general lack of remorse, anti social behavior, disregard for the law and so on but as I said, while a sociopath can still experience empathy and form connections with people (although its more inhibited and challenging compared to a normal person), a psychopath cant do these things at all, so I guess in some sense you could argue that a psychopath is a sociopath with *only* logic. Only cold and calculated decisionionmaking without any emotional aspect whatsoever, which is why House is not a psychopath but a sociopath in pretty much every aspect

[@glass.hammer]

This was actually producer meddling. Everyone on staff save Hugh Laurie took pay cuts to pay Olivia Wilde who was very much not in season 8 enough to justify. Lisa Edelstein knew what she was worth and refused to renew her contract for that. Hugh Laurie even requested that he take a pay cut to keep her on board. At that point, the producers spited her and didn’t allow it. The writers had to magic some kind of end to her story. If you watch Hugh Laurie’s House MD retrospective which documented the last few days, she appears twice and not on set. I suspect she was blackballed. If anything, the writers ended the season perfectly because the producers essentially drove a car right through the show.

Candice Bergen plays this part flawlessly!

[@johnsmith-ht3sy]

Well I never recognised her, thanks for pointing her out.

[@mworldxyz5631]

The most accurate Ashkenaz-Jewish family I ever saw in a non-Israeli TV 🤭🤭🤭

[@mekdesabebe5457]

😆😆The handler of this account, I appreciate you. Thank you

[@brianortiz9502]

4:23 certified Awctually meme classic

[@hopeless1617]

His look at 0:56 says "oh no im in so much trouble, wheres cuddy, what do i do, help me" *internal screaming intensifies

[@aimilios439]

I like how Wilson's just there. He probably liked the situation too.

[@michelleyota7899]

It's weird and kind of nice to see House smiling and kissing Cuddy like a normal human being.

[@ThomasRoiloup]

>House shows up to birthday party >drugs everyone >doesn't explain further >leaves

[@inflxshn6175]

Laugh every time I see this. One of my favorite scenes of the series. I always loved the camera work in this show.

[@tieflingcorpse9817]

the little sound house made when she said "we average our misery" is hilarious. its barely noticable but its there

[@eggsburst789]

That whimper and Cutty's deathglare into his soul truly shook something in me

[@oz_jones]

*Cuddy's

[@alexanderkuptsov6117]

Even I feel awkward watching it and I'm not even a member of the family.

[@edwinjusto5739]

I genuinely would have loved if they didn’t go the route they went and actually ended up together i loved the ending but idk felt hollow without her hell the hole final season felt off without cuddy

[@edwinjusto5739]

I also would have actually liked to see them develop further as a couple like yeah that hole hes unapologetically an atheist and too honest to lie about it come into actual conflict with cuddys Jewish religion and him having more father daughter moments maybe even a family trip episode

[@mitchellmelkin4078]

Not having seen this before, I find it interesting that the character liberally sprinkled in a number of yiddish phrases. Now, given the length of time since she converted (and likely, had considerable occasion to deal with her in-laws), that might not be particularly unusual, but still, I'm wondering what the writers' intention was by inserting the behavior?

[@trianglemoebius]

She was co-opting Yiddish phrases to try and appear more unique and interesting. It's to show she's disingenuous.

[@AmericanBoy-si9zg]

The look of House's face in Cuddys office of having to be at the dinner. 🤣

[@pierreb2320]

Great writing, phenomenal actors: this show was such a treat.

[@xxsegaxx6416]

Homeboi just straight up brought sedatives to dinner and drugged his bestfriend and his girl's mom, that's what i would call an epic House moment.

[@no-oneman.4140]

The acting in this is simply sublime from the usual suspects but Cuddy's mum is so believable it's frightening. I don't know who she is but she deserves awards.

[@doraguerra21]

Her name is Candace Bergman. She starred as Murphy Brown.

[@no-oneman.4140]

@@doraguerra21 Thank you.

[@DemonicRobots]

I like how it takes Wilson longer to pass out because he has been drugged so many times before he is resistant to it. XD

[@blackopsquay]

She told House to behave like an adult. Did she forget who she was talking to? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@yunanklaus1195]

2:03 that little squeak House let out is just hilarious XD

[@crisdlcruz145]

When she said we average our misery House was close to saying i love you

[@peachydarl]

It’s such a housian thing to say 😂

[@neilusdin2389]

Wonder how many takes they needed to get the sedation scene down. It's HILARIOUS!

[@DomR1997]

"I didn't read any studies, I just have anecdotes that are worth more than the combined experiences of all the people involved in the study" I hate people like that.

[@paulneligh5095]

His face when he realized he was going was priceless

[@ovskii96]

2:30 You can see House literally seething when she says that. One, she's insulting Cuddy's parenting, but she's also reminding him of his own father.

[@dbsagacious]

Even as toxic as that relationship was, god i loved them together

[@chelseaxoxo784]

It was toxic, how?

[@oz_jones]

@@chelseaxoxo784 Muh sociopathy

"We average our misery." Best effective statement of a relationship.

[@juliemittel3931]

if you start this video at exactly 23:53:24 on december 31st, wilson will pass out at exactly midnight.

[@justlucky8254]

"That is what a relationship is. We average our misery!" My experience with a MnL tells me that the quote contains as much or more truth than any other that I've ever heard.

[@Red-wc1br]

LMAOOOO I can't believe he drugged Wilson too lmaoooo

[@tosmok]

5:40 a true man defending his partner even against her own mother

[@stevehokie]

I would convert for Cuddy.

100%

[@themarlboromandalorian]

As would we all.

[@sonniepronounceds-au-ni9287]

No, if you don't believe the actual theology and support the doctrine, then you aren't a convert. You are just pretending.

[@Loj84]

@@sonniepronounceds-au-ni9287 ok

[@trianglemoebius]

@@sonniepronounceds-au-ni9287 You can be born into a religion and not believe it. As long as you're at least pretending you believe it, you're considered "in". This is especially true of Judaism, which, as was pointed out here, is as much a community as it is a faith.

[@SN-sz7kw]

I’d pay to see Candace Bergen & Hugh Laurie share the screen. And I get it for free. Priceless.
