Frasier Season 03: Sarcastic and Snappy Comebacks

A collection of some of the best snappy, snippy and sarcastic comebacks from Frasier Season 03.
Martin is the king of sarcastic remarks, but the other cast get their own in from time to time too.

[@ivanpb1983]

People say you're either a Friends or a Seinfield fan. But the greatest sitcom from that era was undoubtedly this one.

[@allisterbernal5954]

The Simpsons for me. But def Frasier is a close second.

[@herb369nichols]

Never watched Friends, seldom watch Seinfeld, never miss Frasier. Today's writers weren't paying attention. In fact, most of them hadn't been born when these shows were written. It's reruns for me!! "Frasier" Rules!!!

[@sherryluce5780]

Couldn't agree more. 👍👍😀👏

[@buggyboogle9]

[@frankhinstein2843]

I just wish I had friends intelligent enough to understand my "snarky remarks".

[@sertorrhenclegane]

I love the fact that Martin's so much more down to earth but it's quite clear where Fraiser and Niles' snarky nature comes from.

[@damiensteiner9919]

It's good to know being British that our American friends have mastered sarcasm & irony in such a short time. Utterly perfect

[@ellenmarch3095]

😂😂😂 Such an underrated comment. (Said by an American only moderately obsessed with our British cousins' far longer history.)

[@lauramalek3128]

Cheese stuffed meatballs sound like they'd go really well with Martin's "chocolate pudding chips" he invented when he ate Niles' pot brownie. 😉

[@ScrewBallTheAlien]

I would unironically try that.

[@benjackson5411]

I've had those. They're very good.

[@Rockhound6165]

John Mahoney cracking up for real is epic.

[@lizclegg7556]

I don't know if its a "sarcastic and snappy comeback" but I liked when they are at a party and Daphne is introduced as Martin's "physical therapist" to which a guest responds "is that what they call them these days".

And the kids can be in the room and you don't have to worry. They may not get the jokes but they're relatively wholesome. Can't really say that about 'Seinfeld' or 'The Office' and certainly not about 'Friends'

It’s a shame one died on a plane on 9/11. I can’t recall which, but still sad.

[@larrycurrycarpediem]

Understatement!!!!

[@giftedmonster5293]

What I think was a great part of Frasier that we don't see these days is that in the show, there was never an unassailable person. Everyone ribbed on everyone and whilst it might have strayed a bit into mean, it was never cruel. Take Big Bang Theory, where Leonard screwed with Sheldon's experiment in the Arctic. That was cruel.

[@rubaa.3297]

Or in Parks & Rec where everyone ganged up on Gary/Larry/Jerry. Other shows did that, and I hated it. Like you said, on Frasier, everyone teased the other and nothing was cruel.

[@michelleprieur1]

Sorry I'm late to the party, I just found this jewel. Agree; another example is on Friends. I never cared much for the show to begin with and the scene with Chandler and Monica did it for me. I don't remember what season or episode; long story short, she wanted him to go jogging and he was too lazy, and he insulted her to the point of tears. I know that it's a sitcom,just an act, yada yada. It rubbed me the wrong way.

[@AccessoriesAddict5528]

Love the way Frasier stares Niles down after he says, "Dr. Revlon???" 😂😂

[@PhoeniksStorm]

Always thought it was weird how Frasier hangs coats/jackets so far into the apartment rather than by the door. Especially in a rainy city like Seattle. The water gotta be dripping all over the floor on the way to the hanger

[@anastasia10017]

Oh really ? I thought we just drew a pentagram on the floor and we chanted " We summon thee " three times ....

[@cortneynicole2706]

Love this clip! Frasier is one of my best favorite TV show!

[@bermudabeachbum3582]

They missed my favorite. When Eddie was listless and Daphne asked “Do you think a dog psychiatrist is the answer?” Frazier replied “Only if the question is “What is the dumbest thing we can do?”“

[@parafrasier]

That was actually in S04 E12, but don't worry, it's definitely in the Season 04 compilation coming out soon.

[@bermudabeachbum3582]

Even before I saw this I was thinking about the prostate comeback the other day.

[@nobodynowhere7163]

Yup, there’s some little one, maybe even youger than Fredrick, who will become a doctor some day and operate on prostates.

[@terminallygray]

A 5,000 piece puzzle of The Great Wall of China for Xmas. Maybe he'll have fun playing with the box it came in. ~~AND~~ Martin: There just aren't enough beverages that have a frothy head of black foam in them.

[@terminallygray]

Ya see there ?? Even wimpy ole' Niles understands Sportsball. Hurl a ball through an apparatus. Why doesn't everyone get into sports ???

[@florbfnarb7099]

1:03 Roz is running the risk that Frasier would call her bluff, grab her ass, and say "let's go, baby."

[@sergiovela9961]

Yeah, that’s not creepy at all. Get the f-- out of here.

[@michaelcoletta4547]

😂

[@terminallygray]

A risk ?!? Whatever happened to people's sense for adventure and taking chances ? 1) their relationship was already established. Frasier knew she wasn't serious Thus; the immediate snappy comeback. No hesitation. 2) It wasn't like she wouldn't have blasted Frasier in the face IF, he tried something anyway. Roz probably has done it a couple of times before dealing with guys that don't understand sarcasm. She knows what she's doing, give her a little credit for being that smart.

[@howardkerr8174]

Not a huge fan of Frasier, but there were some good zingers here. I think what has always bothered me about this show is that Fraiser could easily have been a closeted gay man...and maybe even been funnier for it. While Niles character seems gay, but he doesn't exert as much effort to hide in the closet. Ironic, since David Hyde Pierce is actually gay.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

Just my opinion but I don't see much humor in a gay man living in the closet, hiding his true identity by living a lie in front of family and friends. It's probably already been done on sitcoms (maybe not the main character). But I did it in real life from my youth through the end of college (back in the late 1980s) and it was the furthest thing from fun. Essentially, one is pretending to be someone else, all the time. Very squelching. Mind you, I am not a flamboyant gay man by any means; but it was stifling not being myself. Also: maybe Frasier Crane actually _was_ a closeted gay man for those eleven years. Anything's possible. ;-)

[@ianfinrir8724]

@@eduardo_corrochio There is an episode where a guy thinks Frasier is gay.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@@ianfinrir8724 Yes--- his new boss, the handsome guy with eyeglasses and longish hair. That was funny. Funny because Frasier has no iota that he is leading the man on, LOL (and Frasier had wanted Tom to meet and be smitten with Daphne). And then when Frasier learns that the man thinks he and Frasier are on a date, it gets even better.

[@epbrown01]

@@ianfinrir8724 My favorite is when Martin pretends to be gay at the opera and things quickly spiral, with Niles having to break up with him.
