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.
''[[ColonCancer National Terrorism Strike Force:San Diego:Sports Utility Vehicle::]]'' [[{{Defictionalization}} has been greenlit]], and began airing in the Summer of 2011. Another spinoff, Newsreaders, was picked up in 2011, as was a [[BigDamnMovie movie]] that admittedly has nothing to do with the plot of the show, but still contains all the same actors.
!!Tropes:
* AdamWesting: Hey, it's Insult Comic Jeffery Ross!
* AntiHumor: More prominent in the show than one might think.
* AsYouKnow: Parodied in the second episode when Blake goes on a rant explaining that the hospital is in Brazil "as we all know."
* AvengersAssemble: The season 3 premiere when they're forced to call in the staff on a weekend.
* AffectionateParody: ''Series/GreysAnatomy'', ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', ''Series/{{ER}}, ''StElsewhere'', and more.
** GreysAnatomy has been parodied to the extent that WordOfGod says they have to be careful not to directly copy plots from the show.
** Incidentally, it uses the same hospital set that ''Scrubs'' did.
** The season 3 premiere is one of ''Film/RunLolaRun''.
** The third season episode that parodies [[Theatre/OurTown old timey]] [[Theatre/TheGlassMenagerie stage plays]]. It was awesome.
* AscendedExtra: 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.
* BiTheWay: Cat and Lolla dated for all of one episode.
** Valarie Flame starts randomly kissing a nurse at the beginning of "Give a Painted Brother a Break".
*** And Val was getting kinda pervy on Cat in "Black Doctor".
**** Glenn and Owen made out more than once...
***** And then there is Brian, who constantly repeats that he's bi.
* CaptainErsatz: The Chief is a blatant parody of Kerry Weaver from ''Series/{{ER}}''.
** And Cat is obviously Meredith Grey from ''Series/GreysAnatomy''.
*** 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
* CelebrityParadox: In the 70's episode, during the montage of blatant references to the time period, Blake emulates the "'eeeeeey!" of The Fonz on ''Series/HappyDays''. Henry Winkler, a recurring cast member on ''Childrens Hospital'', played The Fonz.
* ChessWithDeath: Valerie Flame plays a game of chess against death in one episode. [[spoiler:PlayedForLaughs, as she beats him with the four move checkmate.]] Death goes on to say that he had played a game of chess with everybody who has ever died, and has never seen it before.
* ContemplateOurNavels: Done frequently by Dr. Cat Black.

[[caption-width-right:259:Healing... with laughter.]]
'''''Childrens Hospital''''' is an Creator/AdultSwim program that parodies aspects of [[Series/{{House}} various]] [[Series/GreysAnatomy medical]] [[Series/{{ER}} TV]] [[StElsewhere dramas]]. It began as a series of ten webisodes for theWB.com in the summer of 2008. The series was picked up by Adult Swim a year later. The webisodes were packaged together and aired during the summer of 2010, padded out with fake commercials for [[{{Spinoff}} NTSF:SD:SUV::]] and mock interviews with creator Rob Corddry. New episodes aired that August, with a third season airing Summer of 2011. A fourth season was picked up soon after that.
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.
''[[ColonCancer National Terrorism Strike Force:San Diego:Sports Utility Vehicle::]]'' [[{{Defictionalization}} has been greenlit]], and began airing in the Summer of 2011. Another spinoff, Newsreaders, was picked up in 2011, as was a [[BigDamnMovie movie]] that admittedly has nothing to do with the plot of the show, but still contains all the same actors.
!!Tropes:
* AdamWesting: Hey, it's Insult Comic Jeffery Ross!
* AntiHumor: More prominent in the show than one might think.
* AsYouKnow: Parodied in the second episode when Blake goes on a rant explaining that the hospital is in Brazil "as we all know."
* AvengersAssemble: The season 3 premiere when they're forced to call in the staff on a weekend.
* AffectionateParody: ''Series/GreysAnatomy'', ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', ''Series/{{ER}}, ''StElsewhere'', and more.
** GreysAnatomy has been parodied to the extent that WordOfGod says they have to be careful not to directly copy plots from the show.
** Incidentally, it uses the same hospital set that ''Scrubs'' did.
** The season 3 premiere is one of ''Film/RunLolaRun''.
** The third season episode that parodies [[Theatre/OurTown old timey]] [[Theatre/TheGlassMenagerie stage plays]]. It was awesome.
* AscendedExtra: 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.
* BiTheWay: Cat and Lolla dated for all of one episode.
** Valarie Flame starts randomly kissing a nurse at the beginning of "Give a Painted Brother a Break".
*** And Val was getting kinda pervy on Cat in "Black Doctor".
**** Glenn and Owen made out more than once...
***** And then there is Brian, who constantly repeats that he's bi.
* CaptainErsatz: The Chief is a blatant parody of Kerry Weaver from ''Series/{{ER}}''.
** And Cat is obviously Meredith Grey from ''Series/GreysAnatomy''.
*** 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
* CelebrityParadox: In the 70's episode, during the montage of blatant references to the time period, Blake emulates the "'eeeeeey!" of The Fonz on ''Series/HappyDays''. Henry Winkler, a recurring cast member on ''Childrens Hospital'', played The Fonz.
* ChessWithDeath: Valerie Flame plays a game of chess against death in one episode. [[spoiler:PlayedForLaughs, as she beats him with the four move checkmate.]] Death goes on to say that he had played a game of chess with everybody who has ever died, and has never seen it before.

* FakingTheDead: "Is it really so crazy that I faked my own death because I had too many emails?" - [[spoiler:Lola Sprat]]
* InformedJudaism / InformedAbility: Averted with Dr. Richie- the guy wears a yarmulke at all times, it's regularly brought up that he's Jewish and he'll occasionally mention the Sabbath or other Jewish customs.
** In a case of playing the trope straight, Chief is 100% Chocktaw Indian- that's why they call her Chief. Also, the hospital's in Brazil. It was averted in one episode where [[ItMakesSenseInContext Glen and Owen walked through Rio to get a churro]] but is usually played straight.
