Time to binge Frasier. Thanks op, I was looking for something to do this weekend.
I miss that show, it was hilarious.
David Hyde Pierce’s physical comedy in that show is just so good. Reminds me of Lucille Ball.
I haven’t laughed out loud like that in a while! Thank you OP
Little known outside Germanic peoples:
This is probably not how a traditional fencing duel (for honor) would go with Old School Germans.
In this case, it’d likely be a Mensuren duel.
Basically, it’s a game of bladed Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots ([https://youtu.be/wtYGz5KWMkk?t=29](https://youtu.be/wtYGz5KWMkk?t=29)) – with swords. Mostly, no footwork – no back footing and only the upper body moves. The University boys just loved playing Fencing Fight Club.
Ever wonder why all the German baddies in films have a scar? It’s called a bragging scar.
It means you basically stood your ground while your face got slashed and you probably got in a few slashes on your opponent as well.
We get it, Frasier 2.0 is coming. We don’t need 100 snippets from the OG show
DHP is a very funny actor. Even his voiceover work is funny (Hellboy)
The Marta knowing German gag is so good. One of the best things about this show is how they use and evolve ongoing jokes so seamlessly
I don’t understand. The fencing master isn’t taking a fencing stance. He seems to be able to handle the sword but he certainly doesn’t look like a fencer. Am I wrong?
Frasier is an all time GOATed show. My wife and I discovered it recently and went through the whole thing twice in like three months.
Hands down the most brilliantly written show ever to grace the boob tube.
Remember when Niles found out his plumber made more than he did?
Was waiting for the chandelier to fall on the guys head.
Anyone else annoyed that the swords over the mantle were never used? Checkov would be furious!
Is that the same one who fought with The Fonz?
Why are Frazier posts suddenly everywhere? Does it have anything to do with the new reboot coming out soon? hmmm
why guatemala?
I’m seeing a lot of these posts on television, funny and videos. It comes off like promotion for the reboot.
Sapatos go Brrr
For those who are curious. Here is a Youtube video of producer David Lee on how creating Frasier came about.
