History Characters / Frasier2023

[[folder: Margaret Scratcher]]

Alan's pet cat, whom he sneaks into work with him.

* BrilliantButLazy: While burnout is clearly part of what's made him what he is today, he's apparently always had a problem applying himself. Frasier notes that Alan has never finished anything, to which Alan responds by beginning a comeback that quickly shifts into [[{{Angrish}} mumbles and grumbling]] followed by simply trailing off and losing interest in the conversation.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Much like fellow mirror character Niles, he's presented as an old friend of Frasier's from college -- and never appeared before in the original ''Frasier'' or even ''Cheers'', despite this series returning Frasier to Boston, where the latter was set.

----

* ArbitrarilyLargeBankAccount: His stint as a TV personality netted him a tidy sum and he's able to buy Freddy's apartment building almost on a whim.
* SnobsVsSlobs: The Snob to his son's Slob.
* TooCleverByHalf: He's well-versed in the classics and gives intellectual answers during a trivia quiz when the questions are only looking for information Eve can look up in a quick Wikipedia search.
* TookALevelInKindness: Since the original series; he's still fussy and pretentious, but he's quicker to make an effort to see where people around him are coming from, and is very gentle with his nephew in particular.

* ApatheticTeacher: Doesn't remember his students faces and blows off lectures.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In {{Series/Frasier}}, Freddy very much resembled his intellectual parents but started to turn into a more "normal" kid as the series went on. His embracing of a blue collar lifestyle is still a surprising direction for his character to go.

Alan's pet cat, who he sneaks into work with him.

* BruiserWithASoftCenter: They're loud, strong, boisterous firefighters; but they're also emotionally sensitive and value the healing that comes from psychiatric work.

** Mousse's nickname is revealed not to be for the big, powerful moose; but the dessert mousse, as he has a lot of culinary knowledge.

* HiddenDepths: Mousse's nickname is revealed not to be for the big, powerful moose; but the dessert mousse, as he has a lot of culinary knowledge.

* NoIndoorVoice: Moose in particular screams a lot.
* NoSocialSkills: Moose is a notable example because he's actually aware and trying to work on it, thanks to watching Frasier's show. He steamrolls people in conversations, but he wants to be better about it.

* {{Tuckerization}}: Moose may have been named after the dog who originated the role of Eddie in the original "Frasier".

** When Frasier considers quitting his job at Harvard, Freddy launches into a verbatim repetition of the same speech Frasier gave him when he dropped out.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: He acts like an apathetic boozer most of the time, but there's a reason he was able to earn tenure in the psych department.

* TheGadfly: Passive-aggressively takes shots (literally) at his dad's distaste for the things he likes by buying an air hockey table for the dining room.

* {{Expy}}: His character takes some very obvious cues from [[Series/TheBigBangTheory Sheldon Cooper]], with the jokes involving him in the early episodes focusing around his lack of physical prowess, extremely blunt social mannerisms, and knowledge of esoteric subjects.

* PlatonicLifePartners: [[spoiler: She moved in with Freddy to save money and raise her son, but the two aren't romantic]]

* StrawLoser: Somewhat; he's a Harvard student, but he embarasses himself on the first day of class, carries around a laminated list of allergies, and is completely out of his depths when it comes to women.

* UltimateJobSecurity: "Tenuuuure!"

The infant son of Eve and her deceased fiance, who was Freddy's best friend.

* DumbIsGood: Noted by Freddy, they're not exactly sharp; falling for the "long-lost dad" ruse and not questioning why he already lived with his dad. But they're friendly people whose whole job is to save lives and put out fires.
