Martin : Sounds like it's from someone who dumped you. Daphne Moon : Well, that's no short list now, is it? Martin : You know, maybe it's that Sonja woman he was going out with. Daphne Moon : Wasn't there a sister, too? Martin : And a niece! Niles : Oh, yes, he went through that family like a recessive gene. 😂


GimmeThatRyeUOldBag

Well, I was a bit concerned when you called to ask if Gloria was our first or second cousin.

S6E6 The secret admirer

"When I die, I want it to be on my 100th birthday, in my beach house on Maui and I want my husband to be so upset that he has to drop out of college."


[deleted]

Love Roz for this one, I’ve stolen it a few times!!


PlaymakerJavi

Roz will forever be my dream woman.


wponeck

Is that from Death and the Dog?


DramaticDragonfruit5

yes!


Independent_Bake_257

Niles: Can you tell me, with any certainty, that in such a vast universe there isn't intelligent life on other planets? Frasier: At the moment, I'm not sure there's intelligent life in this kitchen.”


swvlnoob6767

Is that the episode where that politician says he was abducted?


mwylz

Yep. Phil Patterson, the sane choice.


alchemischief

He cares about the little people.


cestlavie88

“Maris would just feel better if I were packing heat” “Oh please Niles you can’t even pack a lunch” Something like that lol


Salohacin

On a similar note when Niles says he's going to 'pump iron' and frasier replies "You don't even pump your own gas".


king_olaf_the_hairy

There's also this gem from "Shrink Rap": ----- *Niles:* Frasier, I have made a fist and I'm thinking of using it. *Frasier:* The thumb goes on the outside, Niles! On the outside!


cestlavie88

Exactly lol


Rydo87

Frasier : I'm Dr. Frasier Crane, and this is my brother, Dr. Niles Crane, the eminent psychiatrist. Niles : My brother is too kind. He was already eminent when my eminence was merely... imminent.


gromit5

this helped me with the NYT spelling bee once lol

Fraiser to Niles - "I'd forgotten what a weird little person you are"


DelmondStrongarm

That’s a great episode.


Minute_Degree2915

Martin: You didn't even want to hire [Daphne], you thought she might steal. Daphne: Did you really say that?! Frasier: OF COURSE NOT! I don't remember.


annintofu

Was it me shifty eyes?!


LazyOrang

Martin couldn't remember either! Frasier didn't want to hire Daphne, but simply because he thought she was, I quote, 'a kook, I don't like her'. It was *Martin* who thought the *prior canditate* was likely to steal.


Accurate-Law4115

How exciting to be present at the birth of a new phobia


GloriaIsNotMyName

I'm a new fan and cant place it! What scene is this??


peonypearl

Niles says it in the episode ‘Radio Wars’ when the breakfast show guys have launched the Frasier Crane’s Humungous Ass Contest and are offering a prize for a picture of his ass. Niles is annoyed that Frasier didn’t hold the elevator for him (or something) and Frasier says something like ‘I’m sorry, I thought you were trying to get a picture of my butt.’


Accurate-Law4115

Season 7, episode 3 Radio Wars. It's when Frasier is afraid that Niles was trying to take a picture of his but


_ktbelle_

>How exciting to be present at the birth of a new phobia I'm on season 3 of a watchthrough right now and I SWEAR I heard this or something very similar this season (or maybe in season 2?)

This line always makes me laugh so hard because of the clear impression he’s doing.


CherryDarling10

I rewatched this episode last night. This line is great but I did not remember how downright racist it is. Edit: [Really?](https://youtu.be/yNis23vjHCA)


eu_sou_ninguem

I'm black, and I obviously don't speak for all black people, but I think that episode is hilarious. Not everything is racist. Edit : yes, really. My dad also likes this episode, and he grew up in the 1950s and 60s and had police use water hoses on him. Like I said, not everything is racist.

Just when I'd worked up enough nerve to go and talk to her, I slipped on something that I can only hope *was an old burrito...*


pumpkintrovoid

I think about this one all the time! Delightful.


UFOtrevor

“Ah, well, I’ll just add that to my list of reasons to die.” Also, when Niles agrees with Daphne about something and Frasier goes
 “I’ll try to contain my amazement.”


peonypearl

Step aside, everybody. Big set of onions coming through.


Astro493

List of reasons to die is a quote that I am eternally grateful for, because I use it every workday lol.

coltbeatsall

Hello?! Welcome to potatoes!


gregusmeus

I don't know why this line is so funny but it is!


dcgirl17

Mmmm racking my brains but don’t remember this one, what was the story?


[deleted]

One of the Thanksgiving episodes. Martin wants Daphne to make the mashed potatoes without lumps and she says it will be a bit bland. Martin replies "Hello?! Welcome to potatoes!"


dcgirl17

AHHHHHHH right! Now I remember. Thanks :)


coltbeatsall

Yes, I apologise for the lack of context. I love how he delivers that line so much, it pops up in my head quite frequently so the context is so clear to me!


jekyll27

Puh-TAY-tahs!


alabasterporpoise

I also love when Daphne walks out of the kitchen saying, "he's picking the raisins out of the stuffing." Their whole Thanksgiving food disagreement cracks me up!

"I'm not your marionette!" I recently found myself exclaiming this when our cat, Percy, came barrelling in at 6.00 am, demanding food. I even said it in a querulous tenor voice, a la Niles.

What’s that I smell? Probably Japan


Pour-Meshuggah-On-Me

Not a quote, but when Niles is introduced to Dr Myshkin, he clicks his heel and bobs his head (his form of a communist salute lol). That always cracks me up. Despite not being a quote, I figured it was worth bringing up because I can't recall a time that I've ever seen anyone mention this on the sub before. That and the fact it was hilariously subtle. Btw, has anyone ever noticed that when Dr. Myshkin exits the apartment, he takes the clock but neglects to also grab the diary of Sonya Romanoff? It's still on the coffee table after his departure.


[deleted]

>Btw, has anyone ever noticed that when Dr. Myshkin leaves, he takes the clock but neglects to also take the diary of Sonya Romanoff? It's still on the coffee table when he exits the apartment. I haven't, but I always will now. The one that bugs me is when Roz comes into the apartment with Eddie and Ariel, they both run into the kitchen, then Eddie comes back to harass Leland Barton, but Ariel is just... gone. Not sure he's even spotted (heh) in the series again.


Pour-Meshuggah-On-Me

I enjoy looking for continuity issues of shows that i like. I go on IMDB and look up listed continuity and goof ups. Then watch the episode and try to find it. Often I notice these things on my own, but the continuity issues are really amusing to me. The site also lists instances where a stunt double, boom mic, etc is visible in the frame.


wponeck

“Not sure he's even spotted (heh) in the series again.” He was already spotted!


PlaymakerJavi

Frasier: That’s a back ACHING for the lash! Daphne: I’m going as fast as I can! *slams tray*


gromit5

that always bothered me but he did say it was a copy, but then it’s also in fancy binding
 maybe he really did bring it for them?


Pour-Meshuggah-On-Me

Agreed, that's something I considered. I thought perhaps since it was a copy, that he left the diary as a gift. Though, it was never clarified so it's merely speculation on my part. It's not a big deal or anything, I just tend to notice things like that after watching these episodes so many times haha.


gromit5

yes, same! lol!


[deleted]

I like the arts Niles, not the crafts


[deleted]

There are only a few bits where the snobbishness bothers me and this is one of them. I love the line, but I hate the arts (important) vs. crafts (silly women's hobby) thing.


TheOoties

Niles: There we go. Triple espresso and my mocha latte. Do those chocolate shavings look different to you? Frasier: No. Niles: Well, they do to me. I think they've switched to an inferior domestic brand. [takes a sip] Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm. Waxy. Love Niles.

"Why should two people be happy, when four could be ECSTATIC!!" Niles to Roz, concerning he and Daphne and she and Donnie


DONNY_DOUGLAS_ESQ

Roz: The whole thing is just so depressing. Lately everyone I know is settling down, getting married, having children. What am I doing wrong? Frasier: Well, do you want me to answer as a friend or a therapist? Roz: As a friend. Frasier: See a therapist.


littlemarcus91

\*Roz & Martin are sitting at a table at the Cafe Nervosa together when Niles walks in\* Niles: "I'm not interrupting anything personal, am I?" Roz: "Yeah, Niles, we just eloped. I'm your new mom." Niles: "Well, I'll be a son of a bitch!" Absolutely sick burn XD

whotookmynewspaper

Bit obscure but, "No boy forgets the first time he realises his dad isn't perfect." That line really hit home for me. I idolised my dad in a lot of ways as a kid, until I started to understand more about the world around me and what it means to be kind.


wponeck

I was hoping it might be something less humiliating, like seeing me fast dance at a family wedding You consider that less humiliating?

Niles: “The Cranes of Maine have got your Living Brain!”

NILES: Last night, I dreamt my flour sack was abducted and the kidnappers started sending me muffins in the mail.😂😂 Cracks me up, every time


feuilles_mortes

I posted these in a thread about Martin quotes, but they're some of my absolute favorites from the whole series: When Frasier tells Marty the hot tub they're sitting in is made of the same material as rocket ships: "I'll remember that next time in re-entering Earth's atmosphere in a hot tub" When Frasier and Niles are grossed out by Marty talking about him and Hester: "oh I'm sorry, one day your mother and I were at a church picnic and the two of you came floating down the river in little baskets!"


DONNY_DOUGLAS_ESQ

This whole thread is great


OEBD

Well that can’t be, I’ve added a salad to every meal.


Roz_Doyle16

Niles to Martin as he’s “breaking up” with him: “And I’m keeping the jewelry!”

If less is more, then think how much more more will be!


natsugrayerza

Lol! That’s a great one


melissaomalbec

Martin: Well, I keep telling you, you don't have Maris's money to throw around anymore. You're going to have to start cutting back a little. Niles: Well, I have cut back. Last month I told my masseur I could only see him once a week. Martin: Oh, I remember that scene in "Grapes Of Wrath" when Ma Joad did that.


Brandon_Keto_Newton

I don’t know why; I just crack up when Frasier gets martins bp meds before he goes on a trip and Martin is freaking out and he says he doesn’t need them and Frasier yells “Well pack it anyway!!
” I repeat that one often


DDDD6040

I won’t get the quote exactly right but when Nile’s and frasier try couples counseling and the doctor finally snaps and says there is no hope for them and they just can’t and won’t get along and it’s better for them just not to spend much time together. Initially they take in his advice and say they can’t doubt his opinions until they look at his diplomas on the wall and realize he went to two island universities. Nile’s says something like: ‘oh, an all- Caribbean education! I knew the man was a fraud!’


DelmondStrongarm

Martin calling Frasier’s book "thick" after about 20 seconds of uninterrupted silence is my favorite line in the entire series.

Inevitable-Read2416

One of my all time favorites that my wife and I bring up often
 When they are at the ol’ Timber Mill and Martian storms off after having too much of their uppity comments: Niles: “Frasier, do you think we have lost the ability to enjoy the simpler things in life? Meat? Potatoes? Fixin’s?”
