Go To

While listening ot a focus group about his show, Frasier obsesses over a person who states that he does not like him while Niles dukes it out with Daphne's current boyfriend.


Tropes:

  • An Aesop: To put it simply, not everyone has to like you.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Manu gives an epic one to Frasier at the end and in doing so, explains why he doesn't like Frasier.
    Manu: You want to know why? I'll tell you why. I think you are a smarty pants. I was too polite to say that before, but then you spied on me, you stalked me, you badgered me, you poured yoo-hoo down my dockers, you crunched my hand. And then as if all that was not enough, you burned down my newsstand, my livelihood. A gift to me from my beloved uncle, may he rest in peace.
  • Somebody Doesn't Love Raymond: Frasier goes above and beyond to find out Manu does not like him. It reaches the point where he destroys Manu's newsstand.
  • Special Guest: Tony Shalhoub as Manu.
  • The Tag: Bulldog watches Roz and the Collector from earlier have sex in the focus group room through the two-way mirror.
  • You're Cute When You're Angry: Niles gets into an argument with Daphne and is so enchanted with the result that he spends the rest of the episode trying to rile her up.
    "Chips, Daphne? Are you sure that's wise? You know what they say: 'Many chips make for chubby hips.' Waddle waddle waddle."
