Recap / Frasier S 11 E 03 The Doctor Is Out

Go To

Frasier is Mistaken for Gay but this gets him in good with a well-known conductor of the Theatre.


Tropes:

  • Ambiguously Gay: During the end credits Gil is seen sneaking into gay bar Bad Billy's.
  • Camp Straight: Roz's new boyfriend Barry is very camp and acts like a stereotypical gay man. She doesn't appreciate Frasier and Niles' insinuations about him and is even angrier when Frasier admits he went into the gay bar to try and prove Barry was there.
    Roz: You know what Barry was doing 10:00 until midnight last night?
    Frasier: What?
    Roz: ME! THAT'S WHAT!
  • Coming-Out Story: The episode is a parody of it since Frasier is mistaken to be gay.
  • Mistaken for Gay: Frasier has to deal with this after going into a gay bar wearing short shorts and asking for a man. Alistair also has a hard time believing Niles is straight even though, as Niles points out, he's standing next to his heavily-pregnant wife.
  • Noodle Incident: When Daphne asks Alistair if Peter O'Toole will be at the party Alistair says no, and cryptically adds "and he knows why".
  • Seven Minute Lull: The music in the bar dies down just as Niles yells "I'm begging you, please take me home!" at Frasier.
  • Special Guest: Patrick Stewart as Alistair Burke.
