History Characters / Frasier

** FlashackWithTheOtherDarrin: In "Crock Taales"

* CoolOldGuy

** NotSoDifferent: While infinitely CloserToEarth than his father and uncle, he will, at least once per appearance, do something to demonstrate that he is still very much his Frasier's son.

* TheOtherDarrin: Moose (the dog who played him) was replaced in the final four seasons by [[Real-LifeRelative his son]] Enzo, who first appeared as his stunt double. Yes, the dog had a stunt double.

'''The Chicken:''' "Hey, give it a rest, Double Wide! I went to grad school too, and P.S.- it's pronounced "LaRochefoucauld"." \\

* JerkassWoobie
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As egocentric, arrogant and self-serving as he can be, Frasier shows on more than a few occasions that he does truly care about the people in his life.

* OldSoldier: Tells constant stories about Korea

* BabyGotBack: Niles has quite an affection for her rear end. {{Lampshaded}} in one of the last episodes "Coots and Ladders" while looking at photos of them early in the series.

* CloudCuckoolander
* FirstNameBasis: Shifts to this with the Cranes when she gets together with Niles. Lampshaded.
-->'''Daphne:''' "Oh, for heaven's sake Dr. Crane!" (''she kisses him'') \\
'''Niles:''' "I think you can call me Niles now."
* InformedAttractiveness: Not ugly by any measure, but it isn't really clear why Niles obssesses over her for seven years.
* [[spoiler:HappilyMarried]]: With Niles, eventually.
* HideYourPregnancy: For Jane Levees' first pregnancy they wrote Daphne becoming fat due to compulsive eating, and going to a spa to lose the weight (when Jane Leeves left to have the baby). Lampshaded when Niles came back from first visiting her at the spa, saying she had "just lost 9 pounds, 12 ounces." Also lead to one of the best puns on the show:
-->'''Martin''': "I just thought of something funny: it took three Cranes to lift you."
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Not abusive in the literal sense, but her family was so ''bizarre'' it's amazing she didn't become a lunatic (although considering she's rightly listed as a CloudCuckoolander, it's not exactly a great leap to suggest that this had something to do with it). As one snippet, her brothers apparently used to bowl their baby brother over a frozen lake in the winter and see who could get him the furthest. Then came the year the spring thaw set in early...

Martin's faithful dog, Frasier and Niles can't stand him and he seems to know it, as one of his favorite passtimes is staring at them to annoy them. Is more a character than a pet, because he's incredibly expressive and intelligent.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The common rumour is that Moose received more fan letters than any other cast member.

* ManipulativeBitch: Hoo ''boy''. Where to begin?

* TheNiles: the Trope namer.

* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Not abusive in the literal sense, but her family was so ''bizarre'' it's amazing she didn't become a lunatic. As one snippet, her brothers apparently used to bowl their baby brother over a frozen lake in the winter and see who could get him the furthest. Then came the year the spring thaw set in early...

** Surprised they didn't try using MichaelJackson.

* LawOfInverseFertility: Gets smacked with it due to ExecutiveMeddling

* CloserToEarth

* CloserToEarth

* TheUnseen: Averted, though it's easy to miss. He does show up in a handful of episodes, but is referred to by Martin far more times than he actually appears.

* AudioErotica: Is rgularly complimented on his sexy voice, which just encourages him to dial the charm up further.

* HiddenDepths: He genuinely falls in love with Roz, and was once so passionate about a relationship that when she dumped him he was reduced to tears.

The first leading character of his aptly named show, Fraiser has moved to Seattle (from Boston as he was a character in ''Cheers.'') Tropes from ''Cheers'' still apply to him.

!Rosalinda "Roz" Doyle

* BetterAsFriends: With Frasier.

!Martin Crane

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Though he is sometimes exasperated with how snootish they can be, Martin truly does love his sons. In "A Room Full of Heroes", Niles dresses like Martin for Halloween and in character begins to say Frasier and Niles were disappointments to him, only for Martin to sharply cut him off and tell him he has always been proud of them.
* BookDumb: He's not as book smart as Frasier or Niles, but has far more common sense and can outsmart them by catching things they overlook in their arrogance. And, as he never hesitates to remind them, he ''was'' a detective for several years, and he occasionally demonstrates he's picked up a bit of psychiatry from listening to them and their mother.
* CloserToEarth
* CoolOldGuy
* DeadpanSnarker
* FauxYay: In the episode "Out With Dad", who [[SorryImGay tells a woman he's gay, so as not to offend her by turning her down]], and subsequently offers to "gay it up a little" so her daughter doesn't suspect he's straight when she sets him up with a friend.
* {{Foil}}: To Frasier.
* IconicItem: His ancient easy chair.
* OldSoldier: Tells constant stories about Korea

!Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe

* CannotSpitItOut: By the time he's actually in love with Roz he can't tell her and so settles for scaring off her dates and playing babysitter to Alice to spend time to her. He does spit it out once she catches on though.
* JerkJock
* HiddenDepths: He genuinely falls in love with Roz, and was once so passionate about a relationship that when she dumped him he was reduced to tears.
* NoIndoorVoice
* TestosteronePoisoning: A subtle in-joke, as actor Dan Butler is gay in real life.

* IceQueen: Niles even compares her with said substance a few times.
