I haven’t done a report about the absurd throw-away joke cases from E.R. in a while. I’m not sure if that’s because there haven’t been any, or I just haven’t been paying attention.
Anyway, tonight they had a man who apparently identified a bit too much with 80s icon Mr. T. He was wearing a whole lotta bling, and refused to take it off for anyone. He just wanted some medicine for the pain in his neck.
Yes, the gold necklaces were literally cutting into his flesh, and it was infected. Nice.
So, they made a couple jokes and we never saw that character again. A classic non sequitur gross-out moment.
EDITED TO ADD: This character made another appearance a week later. Still just as a running gag, not as a full fledged story.
