Oh, Hugh Laurie.

From the TWOP recap of last week's House:

You know, Cameron, if Americans had that defeatist attitude two hundred and thirty years ago, Hugh Laurie would be able to use his real accent on this show since we'd still be English. Also, House would be done by the BBC and the sets would be made of cardboard. The Magic Schoolbus Cam would consist of blood vessel-looking things hanging on strings in front of a picture of a vein while the camera slowly zoomed in. When people went outside, they'd be shot on film, but when they were inside, it'd be on video for no apparent reason and somehow we weren't supposed to notice. It'd be pretty great, actually.

Agreed. Though, actually, one thing I've noticed about Hugh Laurie is that I find his American accent ten times as appealing as his English accent -- which goes against everything I understand about myself and the world we live in. The closest I can come to explaining this abberation is that Laurie pitches his voice lower on House, thus making him gravelly-voiced and solemn. But still. It's strange. Or do you disagree? Here. I'll give you something to compare it to.



Happy President's Day!
