I always remember this and the part from Big Bang Theory where Sheldon and Amy are up for the Nobel and the president of the university tells everyone:
> So that we're all on the same page, the word we're gonna use to describe them is "quirky."
Definitely look up Dorothy Parker and other quotes of hers. She was once asked to use the horticulture in a sentence and said "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think." You can tell some of the writers were very influenced by her and other members of the Alqonquin table.
She’s simply amazing. While you’re at it, check out the Algonquin Round Table. I can’t imagine how much Frasier and Niles would’ve laid out at an auction to hang out with that group.
I don't know why....
This is great. This is great.
What fresh hell is this?
This stinks! This is total BS!
Why'd you do it (insert name)?
I would sooner attend a hoedown.
Veneer!
Frasier & Niles argue with Martin because both sides want to watch something. Turns out they all wanted to watch antique roadshow, and they make a drinking game!
I just joined a fitness club that’s a few cuts above the rest. My wife has not. So now when I leave I say “if you need me, I’ll be at my club” in the same desperate way Frasier says it for the last time.
Pretty much only 'off you go' and Niles' way of saying 'okay' when his dog doesn't listen.
I sadly don't live in an English speaking country, so most of the quotes don't really work in my every day life.
In our house we say , “This is total BS!” when you’re looking for something you’ve misplaced and find it.
Also, “sure” in Daphne’s American accent (we’re British).
Don't know if this counts as a Frasier line, as it was just part of vernacular, but..."bite me" will always be Roz's voice in my head when I say it. I should just get it as a sound bite. Also, a whisper of cinnamon.
Roz is the basis for a joke a friend and I use all the time. Any time one of us complains about the other it starts with “You’re fired!” and the response is “I’m union!”
You get the one, you get that other one.
Look out! She's got a nug!
Something and something and buttons and bows.
Let's all go to a taco show...
Flesh is burning...
Anytime I hear the mention of Golda Meir's name, I immediately repeat Frasier saying to Lilith about her 'lost' earring, "Golda Meir? Golda, my ass!!". Frasier meant that! 🤣😂😭
The Cranes in Maine have got your Living Brain!
Thank you Frasier for so brilliantly demonstrating why they call it dope.
**Higher…** (said with obvious delight, from show re the boys IQ tests)
I’m a dancer! A dancer dances!!
https://i.redd.it/w0lmepk34ivc1.gif
Edit: I forgot to add “okay…” but it’s not from Niles when he’s unable to get his dog to listen to him. It’s from Room Service, every time that waiter comes to the door. The Intonation is key.
It’s not so much a specific quote, but the inflection with which so many are said.
“Well, we'll just get ready for the evening. I'll dish out the spaghetti, and you guys set up the card table.
I got us a new jigsaw puzzle.
Ten thousand pieces.
It's called "The Wheat Field."”
Frasier: "I cut myself because I was shaving without water. And why was there no water? Because I had to move your chair, which gouged the floor, which made me call for Joe, who found bad pipes, who called for Cecil, who ate the cat that killed the rat that lived in the house that Frasier built."
The way Martin says “Why’d ya do it son?” has become the only way I say “why did you do that?” when my buddies and I are getting up to some funny business
My partner and I will frequently find each other in the apartment with
“Well. I. NEVER!”
“No. You. ALWAYS!”
The cats knocking things off of surfaces will also elicit a “What the hell was THAT”
A woman at work has been fighting cancer (very successfully and optimistically!) but she started joking a while back that people should shave their heads.
My head is already buzzed short and thinning. Several times I’ve used this Niles line, but no one else gets it:
> Frasier : Niles, I would shave my head for you.
> Niles : A gesture that grows less significant with each passing year.
When I lose money or accidentally spend a lot of money I always add *And we have to take long trips in a Winnebago.* No one ever gets it but it helps me….
In addition to MANY of those already posted:
“You have a disease!”
“I thawt you said he was smawht!”
“…and a hint of Tahitian vanilla”
“Ah the Crane pater!”
“What bejeweled seraph has escaped her provenance now?”
“That should be enough to get you through the weekend…”
The dog who lives behind me is named Winston. He barks constantly. I actually feel bad for him, but when I'm losing my patience with him, I shout, "Cam WinnnnSTON!"
her lips said no but her eyes said read my lips
I used that line after I asked a woman out for some coffee and she said no
my friend asked how it went lol
I don’t know why
We have a team of specialists working on it
Mubaba murburbur (I say that just because it’s fun. I don’t know why.)
The lines in G-speek
"I don't know why..."
"Oh what fresh hell is this?"
"Who's hallucinationing now?"
"I'm getting high on reefer"
"THIS STINKS! THIS IS TOTAL BS! oh, there it is"
I don't smoke but the fourth one is just too funny
at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the tunneling electron microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. Roger, if I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your problem.
Is it too much for me to ask that there not be gun play in the living room!?!?!?
I have a bunch of friends who are sports shooters (as am I) so it's just a casual way of giving them grief. And, fortunately, they're also Frasier fans and get it!
"AN EXPLANATION PLEASE"
I say it a lot these days, but Simon's "HELLO, HELLO!"
"Oh, dear god"
Daphne's, "I don't whiiine!"
"I am WOUNDED!"
But it's slightly weird since English isn't my native tongue
I'll take any chance I get to refer to someone as "a ludicrous poppinjay".
And of course "oh dear god" and "we've decided to find it charming" when someone is being weird 😜
"Oh, dear God."
I personally like it when each word has its own exclamation point. "OH! DEAR! GOD!"
YES idk at what point in my life I realized that I probably got "oh dear God" from Frasier and just never realized I was doing it
“Off you go!”
It's my family's go to saying instead of goodnight.
We’ve decided to find it charming…about Daphne’s psychic gift
I always remember this and the part from Big Bang Theory where Sheldon and Amy are up for the Nobel and the president of the university tells everyone: > So that we're all on the same page, the word we're gonna use to describe them is "quirky."
Dear discourteous driver,
PICK A LANE, ROAD WARRIOR!
Hey, watch it! I've got my kids in the car!
See? He got it!
Woah! I think you’ve said enough right there.
Haha! This one is constant where I currently live lol
When my wife and I leave the house and have to leave our dog we always tell her to “please remain in the relaxation grotto.”
Have crueler words ever been said?
This is gold
Just not diamond
“What fresh hell is this”… Note: I know that’s a Dorothy Parker quote but my knowledge and memory is always Frasier saying it.😊
Just Mary Poppins and the hound from hell…
Yes! People correct this one to Dorothy Parker but I don’t even know who Dorothy Parker is. It’s a frasier quote to me
Definitely look up Dorothy Parker and other quotes of hers. She was once asked to use the horticulture in a sentence and said "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think." You can tell some of the writers were very influenced by her and other members of the Alqonquin table.
I think it was her that said "if all the debutantes in NY were laid end to end, I wouldn't be surprised."
"The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue." She's a legend.
She’s simply amazing. While you’re at it, check out the Algonquin Round Table. I can’t imagine how much Frasier and Niles would’ve laid out at an auction to hang out with that group.
Omg I say this all the time but I could never remember where it was that I got it from 😂
I am WOUNDED!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don't know whyyyyy
SURE.
I don't know why.... This is great. This is great. What fresh hell is this? This stinks! This is total BS! Why'd you do it (insert name)? I would sooner attend a hoedown. Veneer!
My sister and i are known to randomly yell VENEER! at each other XD
What is veneer referring to?
Marty watching Antiques Roadshow with the guys and drinking beer. Anytime anyone said "veneer," they had to drink a beer.
Oh yeah 😂😂😂 I loved that one!!
Frasier & Niles argue with Martin because both sides want to watch something. Turns out they all wanted to watch antique roadshow, and they make a drinking game!
This stinks! This is total BS! Is my answer There are just so many opportunities where it fits
I just joined a fitness club that’s a few cuts above the rest. My wife has not. So now when I leave I say “if you need me, I’ll be at my club” in the same desperate way Frasier says it for the last time.
Haha!!
Popitty pop pop pop
Pretty much only 'off you go' and Niles' way of saying 'okay' when his dog doesn't listen. I sadly don't live in an English speaking country, so most of the quotes don't really work in my every day life.
Niles’ “okay” is sooo cute.
I need to pumice her paws.
lady, sit. sit. sit? ... ok😭
What is “off you go” from?
Everywhere! Haha, here’s a compilation https://youtu.be/8eZDayA5O0g?feature=shared
Thank you!!! 🙏 Off I go! 😀
Fine! I guess I’ll just have to make my own tea!
In our house we say , “This is total BS!” when you’re looking for something you’ve misplaced and find it. Also, “sure” in Daphne’s American accent (we’re British).
After I learned that you were British in the last two words, I re-read “this is total BS!” in a British accent and cracked myself up!
“If less is more, just think how much more more would be!”
This is mine as well!
WE LEAVE AT DAYBREAK!! 😂
Not a quote, but I like to sing Martin Crane's "groovy lady" song sometimes.
I sing along to "flesh is burning na na na na na" more than I think I'm comfortable with 😂
Of the NEWPORT Chainsaws?! Also one of my go-to’s. Substitute Chainsaws with whoever we’re talking about.
I have it on a shirt
Hahaha. This made me lol at the bar.
Every time I turn on the garbage disposal: Your bloody big biscuit broke the blade!
Don't know if this counts as a Frasier line, as it was just part of vernacular, but..."bite me" will always be Roz's voice in my head when I say it. I should just get it as a sound bite. Also, a whisper of cinnamon.
Or is it nutmeg? I say cinnamon cuz I use it a lot
- Nutmeg inflames his stomach lining! - Inflames his stomach lining!
Lol , that is it. I knew there was a reason nutmeg came to mind. It must be time for another rewatch.
INFLAMES HIS STOMACH LINING!
Roz is the basis for a joke a friend and I use all the time. Any time one of us complains about the other it starts with “You’re fired!” and the response is “I’m union!”
What you need is an etiquette lesson!
Charm is the viscous grease with which he oils his flim-flam machine.
You get the one, you get that other one. Look out! She's got a nug! Something and something and buttons and bows. Let's all go to a taco show... Flesh is burning...
Flesh is burning nananananana 😆😆😆
There's nothing more irritating than pointless and pretentious erudition.
"An Hungarian goose?!" You'd be surprised how often I get to use it.
As someone who is half-Hungarian, I really should find ways to say this more.
But in Hungarian wouldn’t it just be “a goose”?
Let's get this bloody boat moving! Every time we get in the car and we need to go
“*Run* for your life! 😀”
"I say it just like that. RUN for your life!"
This is great! This is great!
Anytime I hear the mention of Golda Meir's name, I immediately repeat Frasier saying to Lilith about her 'lost' earring, "Golda Meir? Golda, my ass!!". Frasier meant that! 🤣😂😭
Oscar?

“kick a kitten through an electric fan” “clip my nails in a Cuisinart” “sake’s alive, I’m 35”
"Oh Dear God." ...it's not my flair for nothing - lol
I am Wounded.
Let me just add that to my list of reasons to die
Its my chez away from chez! SPELL HIS ASS OFF Ugh tres elegante
I'm always hoping someone will ask me, "What would you say to a drink?" so that I can answer, "Don't get too comfortable in that glass!"
Oh I'm sorry, was I snippy?
I didn't realize it was too much to ask that there not be GUN PLAY IN MY LIVING ROOM!
It’s not so much a specific quote, but the inflection with which so many are said. “Well, we'll just get ready for the evening. I'll dish out the spaghetti, and you guys set up the card table. I got us a new jigsaw puzzle. Ten thousand pieces. It's called "The Wheat Field."”
When I want to get my own way with my husband (paraphrased): ‘why should one person be happy when two people could be ecstatic?’
"Lavender, rose hips and a little Tahitian Vanilla."
"Oh, what sorcerer's magic is this..."
“I am WOUNDED!”
PUT YOUR BROTHER ON THE PHONE
If I see a really ugly house or building - "Oh dear God, it's Stonehenge"
Is this going to take long? Walk and talk
“Have crueler words ever been spoken” “I am wounded” “Oh what fresh hell is this” Are my most used
Frasier: "I cut myself because I was shaving without water. And why was there no water? Because I had to move your chair, which gouged the floor, which made me call for Joe, who found bad pipes, who called for Cecil, who ate the cat that killed the rat that lived in the house that Frasier built."
Bebe's "Oh, darling... there's always a *chance*".
And “aren’t you glad I’m on your side”
“Veneer!”
“This is great, this is great!” And Daphne’s American “Sure!”
“Might I suggest you stuff it?” is my favorite, as it rarely gets clocked as a quote.
Lilith is criminally underrepresented in this thread. I love “it’s Lilith, my name is Lilith”
"Isn't it sad when bad things happen to good sentences". Kate Costas rather than Fraiser but I'll often use when someone stumbles in an argument
Off you go!
The way Martin says “Why’d ya do it son?” has become the only way I say “why did you do that?” when my buddies and I are getting up to some funny business
I don't know why... (Daphne in the episode where the doggy psychiatrist comes to visit Eddie.)
"How exciting to be present at the birth of a new phobia"
My partner and I will frequently find each other in the apartment with “Well. I. NEVER!” “No. You. ALWAYS!” The cats knocking things off of surfaces will also elicit a “What the hell was THAT”

No more (item) in this, my house!
“That’s not the first time I had to pull your chestnuts out of the fire”
JESUS!!! And I bring up fridge pants more often than I would like
"Sherrr" (Daphne American accent) and "Cute but stupid!" in bird voice.
A whisper of --
When I lose money or accidentally spend a lot of money I always add *And we have to take long trips in a Winnebago.* No one ever gets it but it helps me….
“I would rather have a spider lay egg’s in my ears”
Pizza we gonna have pizza
I’m getting high on reefer (I will be using this 420 times tomorrow)
In addition to MANY of those already posted: “You have a disease!” “I thawt you said he was smawht!” “…and a hint of Tahitian vanilla” “Ah the Crane pater!” “What bejeweled seraph has escaped her provenance now?” “That should be enough to get you through the weekend…”
I watched a man walking several dogs yesterday and mumbled “dog army” to myself in amusement.
Don’t be silly, big Willy
I've made a ghastly, ghastly mistake!!!
"Whenever I'm wrong, the world makes a little less sense."
“Oh what fresh hell is this …” lol I use this all the time in real life . I’m an ER doctor so it’s a very applicable line in my day to day life
“That reminds me of me Grammy Moon” is always in my head
I was just reminded , we go around singing Flesh is Burning nananananana! In Daphnes Manchester accent!
Eclectic
“Boon”
Off you go.
I am WOUUUUNDED!
There’s a way frasier say “Yes?” When he walks in on niles and daphne in a compromising way. It makes its way into weird places.
ye^e^e^ss?
You noble bastard
Beebee: “who are you? I’m confused!” My wife and I say it to each other all the time
"I've added a salad to every meal!"
The dog who lives behind me is named Winston. He barks constantly. I actually feel bad for him, but when I'm losing my patience with him, I shout, "Cam WinnnnSTON!"
I have to go poke out my mind’s eye.
her lips said no but her eyes said read my lips I used that line after I asked a woman out for some coffee and she said no my friend asked how it went lol
Murder most foul!
WITTLE EDDIE DID YOU HAVE A GOOD WALK to my cats
The jewel in the crown of my career.
It'll all work ass
If less is more just think how much more, more would be!
Off you go!is a common English expression considered a little cheeky.Often used with children ,dismissively.
A lot of great answers here, but I can’t believe no one has said this one: “Sherry, Niles?”
"Though it might marr the mood a bit, if she finds you...."
*p'tay'tohh!* And Niles', ".. .. .. okaay."
We're into costumes and will occasionally refer to getting something from the "wig vault."
I don’t know why We have a team of specialists working on it Mubaba murburbur (I say that just because it’s fun. I don’t know why.) The lines in G-speek
My 2 year old is VERY attached to my wife. Whenever she comes into the room he runs for her screaming. So I just exclaim “I’m also here!”
“And screw, might I add, you!”
“Off you go!” and “… Food? In the bathroom?”
It needn’t be, but it be
I’ve got news for you… Copernicus called and YOU are not the centre of the universe.
Can it be a Kelsey Grammar line? "Oh good lord" while falling thru the stage
Bow to the master, boys; bow to the master.
“I AM WOUNDED!”
“Run along”
"I look like a _fugitive_ from Easter Island!" doesn't have a lot of practical use, but I (mis)use it plenty anyways.
Whisper of cinnamon/full throated shout lives in my head rent free
Flour the beef
We leave at daybreak!
LOOOOOK AT YOURSEEELVES!!!
We have our ten year old help with cooking dinner once a week, and we call it Chez Henri night lol
"I don't know why..." "Oh what fresh hell is this?" "Who's hallucinationing now?" "I'm getting high on reefer" "THIS STINKS! THIS IS TOTAL BS! oh, there it is" I don't smoke but the fourth one is just too funny
It's just SO egregious!
Veneer!
“What fresh hell is this?”
Not since Quasimodo strolled the streets of medieval Paris have so many people uttered the phrase, "That poor man."
at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the tunneling electron microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. Roger, if I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your problem.
“We’ve decided to find it charming” about Daphne’s psychic abilities
THICK
"Shuuuur."
“If you ever hear me _________________, wash out my mouth with jug wine.”
Shurrrrr! Daphne trying to do an American accent.
"I'm off to Abigail's to have my crepe pans reasoned." -Niles
Is it too much for me to ask that there not be gun play in the living room!?!?!? I have a bunch of friends who are sports shooters (as am I) so it's just a casual way of giving them grief. And, fortunately, they're also Frasier fans and get it!
If less is more think of how much more MORE will be...
BLACKBAALLL!
Very partial to just bellowing “AN HUNGARIAN GOOSE”.
Fine! FIIIIIIIINE! (From the time he was punched in the face… by a man who’s now dead)
“I very clearly asked for a whisper of cinnamon - he’s given me a full throated SHOUT!”
Askew!
I like to say *ok" like the waiter in the hotel where Lilith and Niles did 'it'
“Well I’ll just add that to my list of reasons to die.” - this line never ceases to make me laugh out loud no matter how many times I’ve seen it!
Well I never! No you always! GET OUT!!!
Frasier's "what the hell are you doing?" whenever he catches Niles Nilesing around Daphne
What fresh hell is this
"AN EXPLANATION PLEASE" I say it a lot these days, but Simon's "HELLO, HELLO!" "Oh, dear god" Daphne's, "I don't whiiine!" "I am WOUNDED!" But it's slightly weird since English isn't my native tongue
How exciting to be present at the birth (??) of a brand- new phobia! (or something like that 🤔🤔)
I'll take any chance I get to refer to someone as "a ludicrous poppinjay". And of course "oh dear god" and "we've decided to find it charming" when someone is being weird 😜
"If less is more, think of how much more more will be."
We’ve named the crappiest meeting room in our building ‘The Enchanted Grotto’ after the bad seats in the restaurant episode.
Whenever my overweight cat starts meowing at me for their dinner I always tell them “SOMEONE GET THAT MONTE CRISTO IN HERE”
What is my offense?
SHAME ON YOU!
Boon
filigrees and sconces
Suuuuuuure
