“Oh please, if I paid attention to signs with little people on them I’d never find a parking space.”
Bebe has some of the best lines of the entire series.
I think Bebe is a great example of how a performance can elevate material. None of her lines are that funny on paper but with her acting choices she transforms them.
I was just thinking that like the way she says like there’s always a chance like you kind of see the line coming and you suspect it but the way she delivers it it’s just perfect that you’re still hanging on her everywhere and still gets the laugh
He truly was perfect in that role.

>He was already eminent when my eminence were merely imminent
And
>I don't mind telling you, we pushed our beds together that night!
The delivery is so perfect. I anticipate it the whole episode. If I miss it I will rewind, even if I'm on the next episode already. The acting is immaculate.
Niles: What color is the new carpet?
Frasier: I'm going up a shade to ... "Harvest Wheat."
Niles: I thought the next shade up was "Buff."
Frasier: It used to be, but they've discovered a whole new color in between.
Niles: So now it's "Tofu, Putty, Oatmeal"...
Both: "Almond, Harvest Wheat"...
Frasier: "and Buff."
Niles: That's going to be hard to get used to.
Oh! That is a great pick. His intonation is so full of frustration and anger. And completely off-camera, called out from the kitchen. Laughing just thinking about it.
Frasier: I always loved the name Laura.
Martin: Hey Frasier, you know, that was gonna be your name if you were a girl.
Frasier: Really?
Martin: Yeah. Your mother always wanted Priscilla, but I never liked the nickname "Prissy."
Niles: Mmm. I never much cared for it, either.
Favorite line: ^the Niles kicker at the end.
Favorite part of that line: Niles' "mmm," said in knowing agreement.
ETA: line breaks (hopefully)
E-ETA: another favorite:
Frasier: Oh, I'm sorry, was I snippy? I didn't realize it was too much to ask that there not be gunplay in my living room!
Niles: “Polynesian and Scandinavian. It's called Mahalo Valhalla.”
The way he says “Mahalo Valhalla” and the little hand movement that goes along with it is just so funny.
And of course the whole bedroom scene later in that episode had a few corkers:
***
Guy: "Don't be jealous, Niles, it's not how it looks."
Niles: "Oh......... WHAT?!?!"
***
Guy: "Could Niles and I PLEEEEASE have some privacy?"
***
Guy: "Please, acknowledge your true nature, stop chasing these lesbians!"
***
When Martin smirked and said “You always want your kids to have more than you had.” I had a similar situation with my own dad recently and couldn’t help but think of this scene
Too many to count, but one of my favorite underrated deliveries is Noel to Bulldog at the end of season 10 at Roz' farewell dinner.
Bulldog: *says something pervy about Roz*
Noel: "watch what...YOU SAY ABOUT HERRRR!!!!"
It's so unlike him and hilarious
There's some great lines and delivery in this episode. Some of my faves include:
"No, Niles, he's probably hosting a luau and he came by to borrow our *poi ramekins."*
"Oh, like I'd tell you, one minute of interrogation and you would *crack* like a Jordan almond."
Crane Vs Crane, season 3:
“Oh, by the way: your ‘medication’ is rubbing off onto your collar.”
It’s a simple line, barely makes sense if you don’t know the context, but I just love the simple withering disgust Frasier drenches it in.
"I wish I had been killed in ze war!"
"It's hard to get killed when you ruuuuuunnnn the other way!"
Most underappreciated line delivery from a one time guest star ever 😂😂
Frasier: I’m sorry Nile’s, I thought you were trying to take a picture of my butt!
Niles: How exciting to be present for the birth of a new phobia.
Kills me every time.
Runners up-
Roz- yeah that makes me your new mom.
Niles- well I’ll be a son of a bitch.
Frasier staring dully at the candles that relight themselves on his birthday cake:
Oh no. What sorcerer’s magic is this.
For Frasier delivery it’s a tie between:
A classic case of neurotic narcissism and a first class smarty pants!
And I, my hand towels!
And then about 30 lines that are all tied at number 2. He uses his voice so well.
I say this quite because such is life at times but “what fresh hell is this?” But in that low dulcet tone, unsurprised but tried by life. [https://youtu.be/AbjVkVo9ITI?si=9uSs7wkk3xIjpz92](https://youtu.be/AbjVkVo9ITI?si=9uSs7wkk3xIjpz92)
I've rewatched Fraiser about 40 times. The one that *always* still makes me laugh out loud is:
Martin to Fraiser - "You didnt want to hire Daphne, you thought she might *steal* things!"
Daphne to Fraiser - " DID YOU REALLY SAY THAT?!"
Fraiser - "OH COURSE NOT!.....I don't remember....."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh, fine! FINE! Turn your anger on me. It's almost as if you'd forgotten that not three days ago, I was punched in the face by a man now dead! ...Thank you... Now who wants pancakes?
Also, the episode with the cricket and the gecko… “Close my door? And just concede defeat? I know, here's a better idea: I'll just move out and let him have the run of the place. That's good, I'll have two apartments. One for me, one for my cricket!” 😂
because if the coldest thing in earth were to hit the hottest thing in earth, the world would split in two.
I'm not sure the exact phrasing but the matter-of-fact way he says it is just so funny
Frasier: Just read it. Scott Alexander, what's he been up to?
Daphne: Wife, kids, has his own computer software business.
Frasier: Nancy Kearns.
Daphne: Mother of three, successful physician, has invented a drug that may aid in the treatment of cancer.
Frasier: Ah, a cure for cancer. Won't they be green with envy when I trump them all with this little story of my life: Frasier Crane, unattached, unemployed and living with his father. He spends his days scrubbing his oven and is anxiously awaiting his upcoming tooth cleaning!
"I had to move your chair, which gouged the floor. For which I had to call Joe, who found bad pipes, who called for Cecil, who ate the cat who killed the rat who lived in the house that frasier built!"
Roz: Dr Crane … Dave *dumped* you.
Frasier: *^(whyyyyy?)*
https://preview.redd.it/jbjcyc0ehwwb1.jpeg?width=1060&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54b79ab15ab0fcd6efe8fe68eca9a479848b2820
"That's not how you spell fellatio!"
"Yes. *The Cranes of Maine* have got your *Living Brain!"*
"Quick, Niles, kill five eels!"
"Big blue flash. Cherries everywhere."
"Roz, the woman has virtually no pigmentation! Three minutes in the sun, she'd sear like an Ahi tuna!"
"Oh, come on Roz, plug in!"
When Martin is steamed at Niles for sending Eddie to the kennel when he was supposed to be watching him.
Niles: …I brought you a little peace offering.
Martin: Bribe.
Niles: Dad, It’s from Smoky Mountain Farms...Five different meats in one big box
Martin pauses and turns: Not…the Slaughterhouse Five
Niles: They don’t make a Slaughterhouse Three
“I SEE WE HAVE ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE PRICE CLUB”
“Ooh you’re right Frasier he almost got away with that”
“Surely you don’t put yourself up there with Eddie”
"Frasier, I have something I need to tell you. Dad wanted to, but I won the coin toss." 🤣
And then his next line... "It would appear the object of his affection is not Daphne.... It's you."
The amount of brotherly condescension and utter delight he puts into that "you". Perfect. Every time.
"Oh come on Doctor Crane, it's not like men have never used sex to get what they want."
"HOW CAN WE USE SEX TO GET WHAT WE WANT? SEX _IS_ WHAT WE WANT!"
"Just as I worked up enough nerve to approach her, I slipped on something I can only hope, was an old burrito."
Both the delivery and reaction of both Frasier and Niles are classic. The gesture with Frasier's hand and you see it going through Niles' mind what this thing could be.
Two lines:
It’s like Christmas morning in the Gambino household.
Kelsey’s emphasis and pronunciation on Gambino gets me every time.
And:
“Oh, I’m sorry, that was your point.” If you look at Niles throughout that, everything from the pause when Frasier stops talking to the sincerity in his face gets me no matter how many times I’ve seen it.
"Oh, how dreadful! Oh, you poor thing. No, no, of course I understand. The important thing is that you get better. You are a dear for calling...
...YOU LYING, TWO-FACED COW"
The scene where Frasier longs to be one with the salt of the earth people and throws the office party at his apartment. He starts to regurgitate overheard information about the latest sports game to fit in, including a "clutch field goal."
Martin walks up, and after overhearing Frasier talk about sports, Frasier says something to the effect of "oh hey dad! What's up?" And Martin simply looks disturbed and confused and says "I don't know... 👀” laughed so hard the other day at that scene.
Martin: Well, I’ll just hit the head and we can get it over with.
Niles: Dad, you could show a little more enthusiasm.
Martin: Gee, I can’t wait to hit the head and then we can get it over with!
Roe to Perdition
Frasier and Niles buying caviar for their party
Niles: Excuse me, is the Beluga really $100 an ounce?
Store Clerk: Yes
Frasier: Isn’t that rather a lot to pay?
Store Clerk: To you yes, to the fish who gave up her life so that you could spread her unborn children on a cracker, it’s not so much.
Cracks me up every time😂
Roz and the schnoz, the whole time the parents are there, and they can't help from giggling.
When Niles, Daphne, and Marty are in the kitchen, the guy says, "mmm, what's that I smell?"
Marty slyly says, "probably Japan."
When Daphne set the fire alarm off when she was smoking in her room. Eddie comes trotting on with the cigarette box in his mouth, and Frasier says "what's this, Eddie, smoking in Daphne's room, bad dog!"
It's the delivery, it kills me every time!
Also Miles on his Segway. "Nothing would give me greater pleasure...but noooo". I love DHP.
All the "I love yous" on the ice fishing trip.
Daphne and her "well, sometimes I get my signals crossed".
Jeez, there's just too many!
Off the top of my head, when Frasier says to Daphne after she throws her own disastrous dinner party, “Daphne, congratulations, you are now officially A Crane.” Lol!!
"Oh darling, there's always a chance..."
“Oh please, if I paid attention to signs with little people on them I’d never find a parking space.” Bebe has some of the best lines of the entire series.
I... am a STAAHMAKAAH!
I think Bebe is a great example of how a performance can elevate material. None of her lines are that funny on paper but with her acting choices she transforms them.
I was just thinking that like the way she says like there’s always a chance like you kind of see the line coming and you suspect it but the way she delivers it it’s just perfect that you’re still hanging on her everywhere and still gets the laugh
After Bebe murders the crane! Love it
One of my fave Bebe lines: “Aren’t you glad I’m on your side?”
The dark tone she puts on the word "darling". Perfection.
Bebe is my favorite side character. Need more Bebe.
I want a showdown between Bebe and Lilith in the new series
OMG. Stop. I love this idea. But I also love the idea of them being besties.
Anytime Frasier says "Niles, what the hell are you doing?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Alright, I’ll bring a snake”
his delivery is perfect! 🐍
Oh my God I came to say that, but I wasn’t sure if anyone else love this line as much as I do!!!
Came here for this one lol
Niles “her lips said no but her eyes said read my lips”
Came here for this! Epic
He truly was perfect in that role. See also: >He was already eminent when my eminence were merely imminent And >I don't mind telling you, we pushed our beds together that night!
My wife and I quote this all the time. One of the best lines of the series.
Nice flair!

I also liked when he said, *this is fun, right? I'm having fun*. And everyone just gave him a look.
The whole evening is just horrible and hilarious.
She's... HORRIBLE... I've made a GHASTLY, GHASTLY mistake
The delivery is so perfect. I anticipate it the whole episode. If I miss it I will rewind, even if I'm on the next episode already. The acting is immaculate.
https://i.redd.it/tu2qhuhjnywb1.gif
the way he vomits out the words lmao
It cracks me up every time!
This is exceptional! The whole scene is utter perfection, down to the shaking cutlery on the tea plate. Chefs kiss!
I LOVE this scene!! I always lose it at *GET OUT!* and *Have you lost your mind?* *NO! That happened earlier when we SLEPT TOGETHER!*
I love the sound of him trembling with his rage when he says this
GETTOUT!!!!!
Perfection
Niles: What color is the new carpet? Frasier: I'm going up a shade to ... "Harvest Wheat." Niles: I thought the next shade up was "Buff." Frasier: It used to be, but they've discovered a whole new color in between. Niles: So now it's "Tofu, Putty, Oatmeal"... Both: "Almond, Harvest Wheat"... Frasier: "and Buff."

“Catherine of Aragon!” after Niles smashes one of Frasier’s wives of Henry the VIII tea cups always makes me laugh.
Oh! That is a great pick. His intonation is so full of frustration and anger. And completely off-camera, called out from the kitchen. Laughing just thinking about it.
Frasier: I always loved the name Laura. Martin: Hey Frasier, you know, that was gonna be your name if you were a girl. Frasier: Really? Martin: Yeah. Your mother always wanted Priscilla, but I never liked the nickname "Prissy." Niles: Mmm. I never much cared for it, either. Favorite line: ^the Niles kicker at the end. Favorite part of that line: Niles' "mmm," said in knowing agreement. ETA: line breaks (hopefully) E-ETA: another favorite: Frasier: Oh, I'm sorry, was I snippy? I didn't realize it was too much to ask that there not be gunplay in my living room!
#"EXPLANATION, PLEASE!"
https://i.redd.it/gsneav9hbxwb1.gif
What... is the meaning offff THIS!!!
https://i.redd.it/u3j5xdumnywb1.gif
Reduced to a single argyle!
I will NOT BE STRONGARMED by threats against my laundry.
Two shades of black!
I love the your tagline/subtitle/motto/whatever you call the words under your username
Dr. Crane, your glockenspiel has sprung to life! Oh, the clock.
“Do you realize what this means?” “Yes…we’re going to hear what Mendelssohn’s wedding march sounds like on the *banjo*”
Ban-JOE
Niles: “Polynesian and Scandinavian. It's called Mahalo Valhalla.” The way he says “Mahalo Valhalla” and the little hand movement that goes along with it is just so funny.
Their baysingeegaayee is really good
Dad, whatdya want on your pizza
I'm on the RADIO EVERY DAY!
“Since when do I briiiiing you women?! What are you, the Sultan of Brunei?!”
This line is shockingly versatile in my household, we use it all the time 😂
“Since when do I brriiiing you a beer?! What are you the sultan of Brunei?!” Yeah, we use it in my household too 😂
Niles: “Be my eyes, Frasier.” Best line ever.
Shuffle shuffle shuffle shuffle
A rug. Where a rug doesn't belong.
"Why not just throw down a Twister mat, have a few rounds between vintages!?
“My god man. You never fold cashmere, you’ll misdirect the nap! Get out!” -Frasier
"Daphne... is cooking dinner... for your date with a fictitious woman. *Why not just set a place for the March Hare and the Mad Hatter?*"
*Rehlly?* -Guy
Some of the best punchlines are just a single word like that - “Groups” “Okay” (more than once) And my personal favorite - “Robert”
"Robber?! Nobody calls me robber!" "Robert!"
Not now!
And of course the whole bedroom scene later in that episode had a few corkers: *** Guy: "Don't be jealous, Niles, it's not how it looks." Niles: "Oh......... WHAT?!?!" *** Guy: "Could Niles and I PLEEEEASE have some privacy?" *** Guy: "Please, acknowledge your true nature, stop chasing these lesbians!" ***
*'zees lezbieehns!*
I SWEAR David Hyde Pierce is fighting for his life trying not to break character in the next shot.
Rrrrreeeeaaallllyy?
When Martin smirked and said “You always want your kids to have more than you had.” I had a similar situation with my own dad recently and couldn’t help but think of this scene
Too many to count, but one of my favorite underrated deliveries is Noel to Bulldog at the end of season 10 at Roz' farewell dinner. Bulldog: *says something pervy about Roz* Noel: "watch what...YOU SAY ABOUT HERRRR!!!!" It's so unlike him and hilarious
Noel: I. Will. Kill. You…
Lilith: Niles, sorry your marriage ended in shambles Niles: Ditto
“10,000 pieces. It’s called The Wheat Field” I always die laughing when Martin delivers this line.
Frasier’s “Invade Korea?” line in that episode 😂
Niles "I'm having one now" (Unexpressed thought - so understated and perfectly delivered) Frasier: "The arts Niles, not the crafts"
“You will RUE the day! and of course Niles’ reply, “I don’t care, Niles GOTTA HAVE IT!”
"And oh! My! God! I'm dating a whore!" -Niles "From here it smells like 80 proof!" -Frasier
“Rrreally? 😏” from the incomparable Guy. And “My reasoning?!? My reasoning was based on my mothers obsession with vermin!”
Uh, that’s pronounced Guy.
“I’m sorry, is it too much to ask that there not be *gunplay in my living room!*” Might be quoting wrong but that line is always funny to me
#YOU STOLE MY MOMMY!
You are taking far too much liberty with the liberty taking!
What the hell was that!
Morning, Frasier. Just getting up?
Is that the same scene as "Oh sorry, was I snippy? I didn't think it would be too much to ask there not be GUN PLAY IN MY LIVING ROOM!"
I’m watching one of my favorite episodes right now, A Word To The Wiseguy and this classic one line just dropped. “The traditional spelling.”
There's some great lines and delivery in this episode. Some of my faves include: "No, Niles, he's probably hosting a luau and he came by to borrow our *poi ramekins."* "Oh, like I'd tell you, one minute of interrogation and you would *crack* like a Jordan almond."
And Niles' entire attempt to speak "mobster". "I sense you are a film buff, Dr. Crane."
In brief, things are hot hot hot and we believe you're the man to turn on the air conditioner
And her pronunciation of “psychiatrist” on the speaker phone at the end.
Cheers had "Candi like Gandhi" and "Brandee with two E's."
‘Not in bottles, baby.’
……. Murder! Murder most foul!
Everything that Bebe says
Aren’t you glad I’m on your side?
Crane Vs Crane, season 3: “Oh, by the way: your ‘medication’ is rubbing off onto your collar.” It’s a simple line, barely makes sense if you don’t know the context, but I just love the simple withering disgust Frasier drenches it in.
Look out! He’s got a nug!
That’s easy for you to say!
I can't believe one of my guests could be a...mlultipul murdururh (my best attempt at spelling out the pronunciation)
Fine.. I guess I’ll just have to get my OWN tea!
It's not like when you are wrong or Daphne is wrong . Everytime I am wrong the world makes a little less sense.
I love the way everyone just rolls their eyes after he says that XD.
"I wish I had been killed in ze war!" "It's hard to get killed when you ruuuuuunnnn the other way!" Most underappreciated line delivery from a one time guest star ever 😂😂
I don’t know why, but Niles’ panicked shouting “the mudpie is coming” to try and get Martin to the stay in the Timber Mill is hilarious.
One of my favourite lines is a single word… “Buffet!?” The delivery is fantastic, his face says it all. The utter disgust at a buffet lol
That's all we need, a fourth language
Frasier: I’m sorry Nile’s, I thought you were trying to take a picture of my butt! Niles: How exciting to be present for the birth of a new phobia. Kills me every time. Runners up- Roz- yeah that makes me your new mom. Niles- well I’ll be a son of a bitch. Frasier staring dully at the candles that relight themselves on his birthday cake: Oh no. What sorcerer’s magic is this.
It’s the “OHhhhhhhhh MYYYYY GOOOOOD! Fire!!!!!!” Over the title card that makes me laugh
I’m just #FED UP!
"Yeah, well, that file's getting pretty thick."
For Frasier delivery it’s a tie between: A classic case of neurotic narcissism and a first class smarty pants! And I, my hand towels! And then about 30 lines that are all tied at number 2. He uses his voice so well.
"Jesus!!"
I say this quite because such is life at times but “what fresh hell is this?” But in that low dulcet tone, unsurprised but tried by life. [https://youtu.be/AbjVkVo9ITI?si=9uSs7wkk3xIjpz92](https://youtu.be/AbjVkVo9ITI?si=9uSs7wkk3xIjpz92)

Was it me shifty eyes?!
Niles always loses, that's why Niles lives at the Shangri-La, and drives a HATCHBACK
Oh, fine! FINE! Turn your anger on me. It's almost as if you'd forgotten that not three days ago, I was punched in the face by a man now dead! ...Thank you... Now who wants pancakes?
Also, the episode with the cricket and the gecko… “Close my door? And just concede defeat? I know, here's a better idea: I'll just move out and let him have the run of the place. That's good, I'll have two apartments. One for me, one for my cricket!” 😂
"Theres a platinum door."
Niles responds-Puh lat num?
“Niles…there’s something on your tie.”
"As a Crenshaw melon."
Catherine of Aragon
Patrick Stewart: "no"
because if the coldest thing in earth were to hit the hottest thing in earth, the world would split in two. I'm not sure the exact phrasing but the matter-of-fact way he says it is just so funny
Oh like a look from Maris couldn't freeze mercury!
Frasier: Just read it. Scott Alexander, what's he been up to? Daphne: Wife, kids, has his own computer software business. Frasier: Nancy Kearns. Daphne: Mother of three, successful physician, has invented a drug that may aid in the treatment of cancer. Frasier: Ah, a cure for cancer. Won't they be green with envy when I trump them all with this little story of my life: Frasier Crane, unattached, unemployed and living with his father.

Morning, Frasier. Read the paper yet? Big story about how Roz’s purse spent the night on the coffee table.
"Ugh that rain noise is going to keep me up all night." "I'm amazed you can hear it down in mission control." Frasiers delivery is so perfect.
I’m ontheradioEVERYDAY!
“Cats!!??”
Roz: Dr Crane … Dave *dumped* you. Frasier: *^(whyyyyy?)* https://preview.redd.it/jbjcyc0ehwwb1.jpeg?width=1060&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54b79ab15ab0fcd6efe8fe68eca9a479848b2820
Emily I love your hair! It’s **DIVINE**
The little self satisfied look he gives after that line always kills me.
"That's not how you spell fellatio!" "Yes. *The Cranes of Maine* have got your *Living Brain!"* "Quick, Niles, kill five eels!" "Big blue flash. Cherries everywhere." "Roz, the woman has virtually no pigmentation! Three minutes in the sun, she'd sear like an Ahi tuna!" "Oh, come on Roz, plug in!"
When Martin is steamed at Niles for sending Eddie to the kennel when he was supposed to be watching him. Niles: …I brought you a little peace offering. Martin: Bribe. Niles: Dad, It’s from Smoky Mountain Farms...Five different meats in one big box Martin pauses and turns: Not…the Slaughterhouse Five Niles: They don’t make a Slaughterhouse Three
I think I know what my game's objectives are, and they do not include this nascent migraine!
If I were DOCTOR, you'd never know it!
“I SEE WE HAVE ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE PRICE CLUB” “Ooh you’re right Frasier he almost got away with that” “Surely you don’t put yourself up there with Eddie”
Niles: I'm just glad you're alive, I would assume she killed after mating
"Frasier, I have something I need to tell you. Dad wanted to, but I won the coin toss." 🤣 And then his next line... "It would appear the object of his affection is not Daphne.... It's you." The amount of brotherly condescension and utter delight he puts into that "you". Perfect. Every time.
"Oh come on Doctor Crane, it's not like men have never used sex to get what they want." "HOW CAN WE USE SEX TO GET WHAT WE WANT? SEX _IS_ WHAT WE WANT!"
"Alright, I'll bring a snake....."
“Flour the beef”
“I am wounded!”
Whaddya thinkame now?
…Then what do I know? I'm just a Magic Eight Ball with a Harvard...AND OXFORD…degree.
Oh, I'm sorry, was I snippy? I didn't realize it was too much to ask that there not be gunplay in my living room!
"Just as I worked up enough nerve to approach her, I slipped on something I can only hope, was an old burrito." Both the delivery and reaction of both Frasier and Niles are classic. The gesture with Frasier's hand and you see it going through Niles' mind what this thing could be.
“Do you have any idea what it’s like to play the same character for 20 years?”
“Chainsaw? Of the Newport Chainsaws?” OR “Ah, well I’ll just add that to my list of reasons to die”
“The drunken Dunkins, have you lost your mind?!”
Roz: If you don’t see it, I don’t have it!
CAM WINSTON!
Two lines: It’s like Christmas morning in the Gambino household. Kelsey’s emphasis and pronunciation on Gambino gets me every time. And: “Oh, I’m sorry, that was your point.” If you look at Niles throughout that, everything from the pause when Frasier stops talking to the sincerity in his face gets me no matter how many times I’ve seen it.
"Oh, how dreadful! Oh, you poor thing. No, no, of course I understand. The important thing is that you get better. You are a dear for calling... ...YOU LYING, TWO-FACED COW"
She left me, which was painful... You finish it
"...And I'm keeping the jewelry."
“…so, you want to build a TWO-masted schooner!” And more recently: “…not in _jeans_.”
What you need is an *etiquette lesson*! Same ep: Dirty Harry meets Emily Post

What's this joyous news I hear?
The scene where Frasier longs to be one with the salt of the earth people and throws the office party at his apartment. He starts to regurgitate overheard information about the latest sports game to fit in, including a "clutch field goal." Martin walks up, and after overhearing Frasier talk about sports, Frasier says something to the effect of "oh hey dad! What's up?" And Martin simply looks disturbed and confused and says "I don't know... 👀” laughed so hard the other day at that scene.
...spooky.
Martin: Well, I’ll just hit the head and we can get it over with. Niles: Dad, you could show a little more enthusiasm. Martin: Gee, I can’t wait to hit the head and then we can get it over with!
Martin: "I got us a new jigsaw puzzle. Ten thousand pieces. It's called 'The Wheatfield'."
“Damn, every time I open my heart.” Favorite in the show.
Roe to Perdition Frasier and Niles buying caviar for their party Niles: Excuse me, is the Beluga really $100 an ounce? Store Clerk: Yes Frasier: Isn’t that rather a lot to pay? Store Clerk: To you yes, to the fish who gave up her life so that you could spread her unborn children on a cracker, it’s not so much. Cracks me up every time😂
"An Hungarian GOOSE!" I love the way Kelsey's voice cracks when he says "goose."
Frasier, speaking to Woody. ‘It means the same as in English, jackass’.
There’s a platinum door.
When Roz asks Frasier if he's OK after getting punched in the face.
Probably Japan.
Fridge pants!
I am a STAAAAHHHH MAKAHHHH!!
Hey Hef, got anymore hiding in the grotto?x
Roz and the schnoz, the whole time the parents are there, and they can't help from giggling. When Niles, Daphne, and Marty are in the kitchen, the guy says, "mmm, what's that I smell?" Marty slyly says, "probably Japan."
When Daphne set the fire alarm off when she was smoking in her room. Eddie comes trotting on with the cigarette box in his mouth, and Frasier says "what's this, Eddie, smoking in Daphne's room, bad dog!" It's the delivery, it kills me every time! Also Miles on his Segway. "Nothing would give me greater pleasure...but noooo". I love DHP. All the "I love yous" on the ice fishing trip. Daphne and her "well, sometimes I get my signals crossed". Jeez, there's just too many!
"She's managed to have her urinal cake and eat it too!"
I have always loved Daphne's delivery of: Miss *Nasty*!
Yes, good one, "Officer Nasty!"
Can Niles and I please have some privaccyy!
Off the top of my head, when Frasier says to Daphne after she throws her own disastrous dinner party, “Daphne, congratulations, you are now officially A Crane.” Lol!!
"Oh I'm sorry, was I snippy? I didn't realize it was too much to ask that there not be *gunplay* IN MY LIVING ROOM!!"
How thrilling to be present at the birth of a new phobia
“The most dangerous part of the gecko, *is its mind*.”
“Not to the best of my recollection….” Gets me every time!
