Frasier - Blackball (Dinner Party)

An amusing sequence from s6e17 of Frasier. Content owned by NBC
Does everyone do this when planning a dinner party?

[@jdax21]

Frasier and Niles might be the greatest comedic duo of all time. In my opinion, "Frasier" is the best spin-off show ever created.

[@TheJaviferrol]

No one ever on TV had the chemistry these two had

[@heersyal2454]

The whole cast was perfectly matched to make what is the perfect tv show

[@julianfishman2888]

WE NEVER QUESTION THE BLACKBALL we just bow to its will

[@treavam5653]

The funniest line ever!!

[@RandomPlayIist]

This entire episode was so funny and well-written. My favorite part of this episode is the two of them bickering over "you get one, you get that other one!"

[@desmondgentle1474]

"Well obviously you're that other one"

[@goodbadbill]

My favorite part is when they keep changing the dates with Martin and Martin almost falls for their reverse psychology ploy haha.

[@suzycreamcheesez4371]

the drunken Duncans lol!

[@goodbadbill]

0:32 love how Niles is a bit skeptical toward the amount of blackballs Frasier takes for himself.

[@luffyduffy7817]

They are such convincing brothers, they even have the same eye structure lol

[@EllerthePeridot]

I love this ep! I always crack up when Frazier rants about the bicycle built for two😂

[@PrincessAfrica3]

Me too😂

[@belindamehlman1448]

I still enjoy the humor no matter how many times I see the series.tSo well written and the performances of Frazier and Niles are perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jayboy8080]

I love it when Niles blackballs himself

[@christosioannou9628]

This is probably the one episode I would show somebody to introduce them to the show.

[@williambell3304]

Meanwhile, at the homes of all their prospective guests: "We've been invited over by the Mr. Crane." "BLACKBALL!" "

[@glnn4071]

Such smart comedy brilliant writers and actors

[@allegrot438]

"No, no, no, no, no, the blackball once dropped can never be-!"

[@TheWs235]

OH, SHUT UP!

[@wannyyydilliamsss]

Not everyone! BLLLACKBAAALL!

[@jcleaverchamberlinjr]

Niles: wait a minute, you're out of blackballs, you can't just...(takes out blackball) this is a dried up old fig Frasier: so is Missy Cromwell, I don't want her at my party!

[@BlueberrySkylights]

Best shade throw ever!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@Lapidario_]

One of the best episodes.

[@andrewsnow1933]

Great acting and comedic timing and writing

[@scottrobinsonmusic1668]

i love the why dont we ride over their tandom and ask her why she thinks were so weird. absolutely crying

[@sanderberkvens6270]

As someone who can almost mimmick every scene of évery episode... I don’t know..., could this be the best scene of all seasons?!!! It’s só insanely funny and brilliant in writing ánd acting!, and all of this episode just in Frasier’s livingroom.... To me it reflects all aspects of Frasier’s and Niles’ characters... and the brother-competition of course ; ))

[@dfa3366]

Another funny part is they think one of their guest is bringing Joaquin the conductor of the Buenos Aires symphony but they find out it’s their foster child from the Amazon jungle who only eats jerk beef and rice.

[@chicagoeconomist1643]

I remember this when it aired I was rolling.

[@JamesSCrockett1]

I wonder if the birken’s call their stock Birkenstock 🤣

[@docette2015]

Blaaaackball! . . .This is a dried-up old fig. :p

[@goodbadbill]

First they fight over guests, then they fight over "the other one" message, followed then by the constant date changes between them and Martin and the cancellations from the rival caterers. Definitely one of Frasier's best episodes.

[@big_dro1713]

I hope their dinner party works out.

[@jish55]

It's a party ran by Frasier, it never works out

[@goodbadbill]

"One can only hope" -Niles

[@fo0l913]

Favorite episode

[@Jc-ho9wu]

They're hideous!

[@youmustcreateachanne]

Cross-episodes. Instead of telling Frasier to shut up, remember that once he gets going, you just have to tune him out.

[@Dimensioneer88]

Ah, the pre-9/11 days...

[@MrRwk314]

You never question the blackball

[@deesplaylists6941]

Lmao. Hilarious.

[@lillian7228]

Oh stop it they're hideous!!

[@Gor85]

Nice :D

[@decodolly1535]

This is funny but the point of blackball voting is that it is done anonymously. Which I would expect the Crane brothers to know. Those characters just have to be members of clubs where blackballing used regularly.

[@mmlgamer]

There are only two of them. Deductive reasoning kills the anonymity in this case.

[@noelanderson969]

Maybe at hogwarts!!
