Grey’s Anatomy
Grey ’s Anatomyis not a show that present off laughable vibes under any circumstance , although it has had its fairish share of suspicious present moment , episodes , and character quirks . Being a medical as well as human drama , the series is just fun and games but there are some inspired elements that have become running gags over the years .
These gags are n’t of necessity all amusing or funny but rather clichés that have come up to be associated with the show . From elevator where potential or current partners meet constantly and sometimes at the worst instant , to on - call rooms where rest is the last thing go on , there are the comparatively humorous gags . But there are alsodarker motifs like medically curious casesthat have amount to define the series and heartwarming characters whose perennial appearances put a grin on fans ' faces .
The Twisted Sisters
' The misrepresented sister ' was a term thatDerek and Owen had for Meredith and her ' someone ' Cristina . There was a time on the show when the lead agonist and her best ally were inseparable and they would help each other through all their many saturnine and twisting moments . That , and tequila .
Of of course , that is a running jape that break out with the difference of Cristina Yang but for ten seasons before that , they saw each other through the worst of fourth dimension and offer a should to lean on whenever things got complicated .
The On-Call Room
One uproarious running game muzzle go around around the on - call room where attending and house physician would end up at the drop of a lid with their respective collaborator in tow . The on - call room , have in mind as a blank for eternal sleep for Dr. on call , was used generously by all and motley for rich doses of sex .
Whether it wasCristina with Burke or Owen , Bailey with Eli or Ben , Mark and his many deviltry , most notorious of whom was Callie , Alex with his intern , the on - call elbow room became a standing joke on the show for everything it must have seen .
Everyone Ends Up Involved With Everyone Else
Speaking of sex , the sheer volume of it that everyone has on the show is yet another cliché . There seems to be scarcely anyone , perhaps with the exception of Richard and Miranda , who have n’t been paired together at least once and have n’t slept together at some point or another .
Whether attendance , residents , intern , or nurses , everybody ends up hooking up with everybody elseto the decimal point that it appears as though the writers are essay to try out with pairs and see which ones happen to process .
The Surprise Pregnancies
For a show that exact to be a aesculapian drama , the amount of pregnancies that happen at the drop of a hatis amusing , to say the least . It would seem only fairish that doctor and aesculapian professional would be a tad more cognisant of birthing control .
But turns out surprise pregnancies that direct to tremendous drama are very common onGrey’s , as everyone from Cristina Yang to Teddy Altman , Callie Torres , and Amelia Shepherd have go through them , and April Kepner was once almost certain that she had conceived unintentionally , although she had n’t .
The Curious Cases
Fans of the show would recall any number of cases that were , in one Book , curious . From aesculapian mysteries that require the intact operative teamat Seattle Grace / Grey Sloan to extort their brains to curious , extremely difficult guinea pig that need the good sawbones to pour over them for hour before they can address the best surgical approach , Grey Sloan has had its plowshare of interesting case .
The Cupid Elevator
The lift onGrey’shas possibly seen more couples being formed and unformed than anyone or anything else . From couples kissing and falling in love to booster sharing beautiful bit and even undetermined - heart surgical process being performed on the elevator , the latter played a crucial persona , specially towards the commencement of the series , and even afterward sometimes .
The ' Amor ' lift was acknowledge by the writersthemselves when they let Addison Montgomery Shepherd go on a bombast in what acted as a back - door pilot for theGrey’sspin - offPrivate Practice . Addisonmade a bit of a fool of herself talking to the ' elevator God ' that later on turned out to be the security keeping an oculus on those who rode the elevator .
The Plastics Posse
Mark Sloan had coin the term for himself and his mentees , especially Jackson Avery , whom he treated almost like a son . Mark would force Jackson often to use the condition to refer to the plastic surgeon , i.e. themselves . The latter , however , had no qualms in allow Mark know that he hated it .
After Mark ’s tragic death , Jackson did take it up and tried to seat Ben Warren into using the terminal figure . So even though Mark himself was move , the term stuck andthe ' Plastics Posse ' continued for a while .
The ‘Mc’ Labels
One of the longest - running jape on the show has been the various’Mc ' labels given to various hoi polloi at various clip , start up with Cristina Yang coining the very appropriate term -‘McDreamy ' - for the very dreamy Derek Shepherd .
Since then , there has been a barrage of other ' Mcs ' , whether it was ' McSteamy ' applied to Mark Sloan , or the magnificent ' McBastard ' , a terminal figure George used for Derek when the mob had just establish out that he was marital to the most recent ' McWidow ' , that came full circle and was once again used by Cristina for the handsome Cormac Hayes .
The Girl Bonding
The serial can take credit for establish some very fulfilling moments of bonding between strong women .
From Meredith and Cristina , Arizona and April , to Addison and Callie , and of course of action , Maggie , Amelia , and Meredith who have become sistersfrom what started out a very bumpy journey full of high strung emotions and distrust , girl bonding is a go theme on this series man mostly by women .
Celebrating The Good Bokhee
at long last , the faithful Bokhee has been a staple on the show for its entire ladder , and for the longest fourth dimension , she had no lines of her own . Her only line on the show was to offer the surgeons their various surgical instruments as they operate on their patients .
Bokhee became such a rooter - favourite that the writers finally gave the vet scrub nurse an iconic dialoguewhere she called Meredith Grey ' Wonder Woman’after the latter had broken the infirmary ’s disk of the longest unmarried surgery ever execute . Bokhee continues to be on the show even today and one can only trust that she would be with it until its concluding curtain call .
