History Frasier / TropesNToS

* SynchronizedMorningRoutine: Martin and Daphne are completely thrown out of synch when she hands him a blue cereal bowl instead of his usual yellow one.

* SmoothTalkingTalentAgent: Bebe Blazer could be the patron saint (or devil) of this trope. Frasier's long time agent, she usually showed up once a season when Frasier's radio contract was up. Tellingly, she would often push Frasier to take his show to new heights, getting him guest hosting gigs and segments on talk shows to boost his value. This ran contrary to Frasier's desire to be seen as a legitimate psychiatrist who used his radio show to help people, even as it ran right up against his addiction to fame. In fact, she's done illegal things to try to boost Fraiser's rep, to the point where she's seen as a SatanicArchetype in-universe. To name a couple examples: In one episode she reveals that she convinced a (legitimately) suicidal man Frasier helped into trying to jump off a building just in time for Frasier's negotiations to get a booster shot with him being seen as a hero, and in the GrandFinale Frasier gets a radio gig in San Francisco, and it's not even subtly implied that it's because Bebe ''murdered'' his competition!

--->'''Frasier:''' Take your time, work things out. I’m not going anywhere. I realize that you’re in a vulnerable place right now, and that...

** The A-plot in that same episode also qualifies. Daphne looking through Niles' briefcase and reading his patient files isn't treated as a quirky bit of comedic jealousy - Niles is ''furious'' with her for breaching his patient's trust and privacy, as well as [[WhatTheHellHero giving the implication that Daphne doesn't trust him either.]] [[BothSidesHaveAPoint Daphne in turn points out]] that Niles was married to two other women while claiming to be in love with her; since she was Someone Else, [[ArmorPiercingQuestion how can she be sure that another Someone Else won't come along one day]]? Niles doesn't let her off the hook but acknowledges that her question is valid.

* TheStinger: Every episode has a dialogue-free stinger played over the end credits with the ThemeSong in the background. It was usually comedic and often featured a CallBack to some joke or plot point from the episode. The two-part season seven finale - which was all about the drama around Daphne's wedding - just featured a camera pan over Frasier's darkened apartment.

** Frasier in [[Recap/FrasierS06E04HotTicket "Hot Ticket"]].

* SuchAPhony: Roz in "Shut Out In Seattle", Frasier in "Hot Ticket", many, many others.

* OedipusComplex: In the episode "Mamma Mia", everyone but Frasier seems to notice that his new girl Mia bears an uncanny resemblance to his mother. When he has it pointed out to him, he's completely horrified.

* StoppedDeadInTheirTracks: [[spoiler: While on drugs, Frasier accidentally lets slip that [[WhamLine Niles is in love with Daphne]], causing her to stop mid-massage, mouth agape in shock.]]

* StoppedDeadInTheirTracks: While on drugs, Frasier accidentally lets slip that [[WhamLine Niles is in love with Daphne]], causing her to stop mid-massage, mouth agape in shock.

* SweaterGirl:
** One of Frasier's girlfriends was said to really fill out a mohair sweater in high school.
** From ''Caught in the Act'':
--->'''Frasier:''' ''(upset Niles bought an expensive artisan sweater they both agreed not to buy)'' You can't even keep a simple sweater pact!\\
'''Martin:''' Ah, Ronee, now there's a gal who can keep a sweater ''packed''!

* RadioVoice: All the callers to Frasier's show, which is quite logical (and disguises the fact that many of them are uncredited {{cameo}}s). Interesting in that some of the dialogue for those scenes is written, some is ad-libbed to give it a more believable feeling of spontaneity.

* PrettyInMink: Not shown, but it's mentioned that Maris has an ermine lap robe, and her sister has an ermine muff (that she used to smuggle a chihuahua into an opera).
