You would probably end up with something like this skit from MADtv, which is particularly humorous and pretty much on target. And that's coming from someone who is a casual viewer of both series. It has all of the elements you would find in both medical dramas. From the Grey's side you have the schmaltzy soap-opera and characters that only think of themselves. While on the House side you have the caustic, arrogant doctor himself who thinks his own fecal matter doesn't have an aroma.
Michael McDonald portrays House in this skit. Even though he really didn't get the character's voice down he has all of the mannerisms that Hugh Laurie portrays on the actual show. This is the second MADtv skit where I've seen McDonald really nail the character he's playing. The first one was when he portrayed the Danny Tripp character on MADtv's send-up of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. The other actor who really did a fine job was Bobby Lee, who portrayed the Sandra Oh character. My Lord, those two could be twins!
And, to dispel rumors that comedy doesn't teach us anything, this sketch reveals that their is a hierarchy of guys whose nicknames begin with 'Mc' that are needed to be bedded down in order to reach McSupremy, who apparently lives in a castle in France. So, know you know. Video after the jump.

I wish I had stayed up and seen this! I absolutely adore House and hate Grey's Anatomy with a passion. House may be arrogant, but I would place my life in his hands. He's a genius. There's no way on earth I would trust any of the doctors at Seattle Grace under any circumstances. They've proven themselves as love machines, but not as competant doctors.

The House/Grey's skit was great. Unfortunately, the S60 skit was no longer available.

Grey's Anatomy is the worst "medical drama" ever, it's a horribly written show where the only plotline is the confusion of who's sleeping with who.
Ugh, awful, but great parody, it represents everything I hate about the show, most of all the pre-pubescent nicknames the Doctors have.
McSteamy? WTF?
