'''''Childrens Hospital''''' is an [[Adult Swim]] program that parodies aspects of [[House (TV series)|various]] [[
Childrens Hospital centers around the arrogant, slutty, and incompetent doctors working at a children's hospital in Brazil called Childrens Hospital (note the lack of an apostrophe). Using a broad range of fast-paced humor, the show is gaining a lot of good publicity.
Line 10:

* [[Adam Westing]]: Hey, it's Insult Comic Jeffery Ross!
* [[Anti
* [[As You Know]]: Parodied in the second episode when Blake goes on a rant explaining that the hospital is in Brazil "as we all know."
* [[Avengers Assemble]]: The season 3 premiere when they're forced to call in the staff on a weekend.
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: [[

** Incidentally, it uses the same hospital set that ''Scrubs'' did.
** The season 3 premiere is one of ''[[
** The third season episode that parodies [[Our Town|old timey]] [[The Glass Menagerie|stage plays]]. It was awesome.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Dr Brian, who's been in almost every episode of Season 3. He appeared briefly in a clip from the in-universe 70's incarnation of the show in Season 2.
Line 25:
***** And then there is Brian, who constantly repeats that he's bi.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: The Chief is a blatant parody of Kerry Weaver from ''[[ER]]''.
** And Cat is obviously Meredith Grey from [[
*** Valerie is similar, her not-so-deep metaphor monologues at the beginning of each episode are eerily similar to Meredith's.
** Blake Downs is clearly Patch Adams
* [[Celebrity Paradox]]: In the 70's episode, during the montage of blatant references to the time period, Blake emulates the "'eeeeeey!" of The Fonz on ''[[Happy Days]]''. Henry Winkler, a recurring cast member on Children's Hospital, played The Fonz.
* [[Chess
* [[Contemplate Our Navels]]: Done frequently by Dr. Cat Black.
* [[Dead Baby Comedy]]: Considering it's a children's hospital, they probably have one lying around somewhere...
Line 35:
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: With {{spoiler|Valerie}} turning out to be {{spoiler|Derrick Childrens, played by Jon Hamm.}}
* [[The Danza]]: Ed Helms as Dr. Ed Helms, forming half of [[Those Two Guys]]
* [[Exactly What It Says
** Maybe not as Jewish as everybody thought though- {{spoiler|he had a pork shoulder delivered}}.
** The In-Universe TV Show ''Black Doctor'' was about the show's only black doctor.
Line 50:
* [[Mega Corp]]: Apparently, Big Pharma is behind everything in the world, from paving roads and delivering mail to killing Kennedy, inventing Ben Franklin, polluting the ocean with high-fructose corn syrup, ''and even your heart medication''.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Cat Black, Lola Spratt, and Valerie Flame.

* [["Previously On..."]]: Parodied at the beginning of each episode (including the first one) where they mix old material in with new material that has nothing to do with what previously happened on the show (and often has nothing to do with anything going on in that episode, either).

* [[Rapid-Fire Comedy]]: Critics highlight this as one of the show's biggest strengths.
* [[Reset Button]]: The creators weren't expecting a second season given the online distribution, so the last episode really goes for broke. In the second season, some things get explanations for being fixed (Blake Downs getting his spinoff cancelled), some just happen (Chief going from Eva Longoria to only slightly less crippled Megan Mullally).
* [[Shotacon]]: {{spoiler|Dr.Cat Black has sex with a six year old}}, but it's okay; he's got an accelerated aging disorder.
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Michael Cera]]'s unseen intercom announcer is named Sal Viscuso, after the actor who fulfilled the same function on [[MASH]].
** In the episode ''Children's Hospital: A Play in Three Acts'', Owen drinks a [[The
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Inverted; Childrens Hospital is the show within the show. Behind the scenes episodes reveal Rob Corddry isn't playing Dr. Blake Downs, he's playing an actor named Cutter Spindell who's playing Dr. Blake Downs.
* [[So Unfunny It's Funny]]: Blake Downs of course.
