YMMV / Kingdom Hospital

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Ebenezer Gottreich is the head of a mill which uses the slave labor of men, women and children; his brother Klaus is a sadistic and insane doctor at a hospital, where he performs torturous experiments on his patients. After the Civil War, Ebenezer's mill was a collapsing business, with the slave labor having revolted, and so he planned to save money by burning down his mill, and killing his employees. In the fire, hundreds of his employees are killed, mostly the children. Later, he has the survivors "treated" at his brother's hospital. When Ebenezer discovers one of the children, Mary, survived the fire, and witnessed his scheme, he has Klaus take her in. Klaus would later kill Mary in a lobotomy experiment, despite her insisting she never saw anything and promising not to tell anyone.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • A dead headless man running down the hallways looking for his noggin. All it needs is the Benny Hill theme. And it STILL has a pretty good song associated with it. Also, he gets a PC monitor for a head later. Complete with DOS prompt.
    • A woman having a heart attack after stealing a presumably dead man's wallet.
  • Funny Moments:
    • The headless patient in the basement bumbling around, to the tune of Basement Jaxx — "Where's Your Head At."
    • When Hoonan does a gainer off the roof of his house, we suddenly hear his rottweiler disgustedly thinking into the camera, “Way to go, Slick... who’s gonna feed me now?”
  • Nausea Fuel: An anteater rips a man's beating heart straight out of his body and then drops a new heart in, all visible onscreen. Otto's dog, Blondie, is seen later on carrying the heart in his teeth.
    • Dr. Massingale and Elmer having sex in a morgue. Yes, you heard that right. A morgue. And not once, but twice.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Evangeline Lilly makes a minute-long cameo just a couple months prior to her breakout role in Lost (she appears in episode 8 as a woman murdered by her husband when he discovers her infidelity; her entire part is spent sleeping naked and showing a massive dragon tattoo on her back).
  • Spiritual Adaptation: The closest we have to a TV adaption of Silent Hill, interestingly enough Jodelle Ferland, who plays Mary Jensen in the show, a supernatural Creepy Child, who is ultimately benevolent, plays All the parts of Child! Alessa, A supernatural Creepy Child, who despite everything is benevolent.
