History Funny / FrasierSeasons4To6

* Martin, having previously been arguing with Frasier about who pays for meals when they go out, suddenly "remembers" that he and Frasier agreed he'd take them out to diner when Daphne reveals her planned meal for the evening is sheep's head stew. Or not, as Daphne just wants the apartment to herself.

* The episode opens with Roz reluctant to show Frasier some baby photos of Alice because of an unfortunate bout of bout of baby eczema:

-->'''Frasier:''' This is Dr. Frasier Crane, wishing you good mental ''(sees Lilith)'' AAAAAAGH!

'''Mr. Larkin:''' ''[sarcastically]'' Yes, did the local people actually ''enjoy'' your lectures?\\

* The B-Plot has Niles having slept with Allison Landis, an Elliott Bay Towers resident and the wife of Karl, an influential member of the Safari Club, a man who is inattentive and ragingly jealous toward said wife.

** Partway through the party, Frasier sneaks out in another attempt to meet up with Tricia, and Niles tries to claim that the departing guest must have been Allison's lover. Karl believes differently, saying he can smell the man's fear, and he's still in the room. He demands the guilty party stand up so they can talk it out. Niles, clearly fearing the worst, prepares to stand up anyway... and then ''several other men'' stand up instead. Niles hurriedly sits back down.

-->'''Niles:''' She's managed to [[JustForPun have her urinal cake and eat it too!]] ''(flashes Donny a faux "oh, snap!" grimace)''

* Frasier ends up declining Niles' invitation to a new fusion restaurant, but Martin, after six hours in the police station, says he is hungry enough for anything and leaves with Niles as the latter begins explaining the cuisine at a new restaurant called "Mahole-Valhalla" (which fuses Polynesian and Scandinavian; Frasier drily notes that perhaps God put those countries so far apart for a reason). Frasier picks up the phone and dials a pizza joint - and correctly anticipates what happens next:

'''Niles:''' ''[Already looking] Well, I don't know why not. Botticelli himself couldn't have painted a more perfect angel.\\

'''Niles:''' ''[Horrified and enraged]'' I don't believe it! The ''betrayal''! '''''No one''''' treats ''Daphne'' like that!!!''

'''Niles:''' Me standing in for you? I'm sorry, Frasier. I couldn't presume to fill those big floppy red shoes of yours.\\

'''Niles:''' ''Timing is everything.''

* The StuntCasting makes it even better, since Nora's mother is played by Piper Laurie, an actress whose best-known role involves [[Film/{{Carrie}} slut-shaming her daughter.]]

-->'''Niles:''' Oh, well count me in. Is the show more religious in tone or secular?\\
'''Daphne:''' Well, we couldn't quite agree. So we ended up with a mixed bag. Er, we open with the "no room at the inn" scene, then it's a rousing version of "Jingle Bell Rock," a brief medley from "Jesus Christ Superstar." And the first act ends with Santa's elves and the three wise men all linking arms and singing "Frosty the Snowman."

* Things come to a head when Niles has to play Jesus in the play, and at the climax appears before Helen:

'''Niles:''' ''[grimaces at the script]'' Be quiet, ''Mother. [Frasier points dramatically; organ sting plays]'' Mother and I moved here when I was a small boy, after the... ''[Frasier clenches his fist slowly and looks emotionally overwrought, indicating Niles should act likewise; Niles is too distracted by the gestures to process them]'' tragic death of my father. I kept the pain of that loss buried... ''[Frasier makes an anguished face and pounds his chest with his fist]'' deep within me, like a serpent... ''[getting more and more confused and angry at Frasier's gestures]'' coiled within a damp... cave- okay, that's it. ''[throws the script to the floor and grabs the balloons from the sound effect table]'' Never mind all that. I'm just going to take this gun off the table. ''[pops a balloon]'' Sorry about that O'Toole, I guess we'll never hear your fascinating piece of the puzzle. ''[pops two more balloons]'' Or yours, Kragen and Pépo! ''[mentally counts the remaining balloons as Frasier starts discarding pages of his script]'' Will the [=McAllister=] sisters stand back to back? I'm short on bullets. ''[pops another balloon]'' Thank ''you! [to Roz]'' What was your name again, dear?\\

'''Niles:''' Thank ''you! [pops another balloon as Frasier drops more and more pages of his script]'' Ah, and also Mr. Wing. ''[pops another balloon; Noel rings the bell, then silences it as Niles points to him in gratitude; Frasier is now giving him a DeathGlare, which he returns over his final line]'' And of course, one final bullet for myself, so the mystery will die with me! ''[pops the last balloon]'' HA! ''[defiantly hurls the popped balloons aside and joins Roz and Gil at the refreshment table]''

'''Martin:''' [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow You know, they've got a cream for that.]]
