Recap / Frasier S 01 E 19 Give Him The Chair

Go To

Frasier searches the city for Martin's recliner after it is accidentally thrown away.


Tropes:

  • Ask a Stupid Question...: Played With. When Leo gets done delivering the new chair to Frasier's place, Daphne asks him to fix the faucet while he's their, so Leo asks which one. When Daphne insults him by talking to him like a small child when she answers "in the kitchen, dear", Leo points out that it wasn't a dumb question because they do have bathrooms. Daphne snarks back that they don't have any he'll be going into.
  • Cargo Ship: In-Universe, Both Niles and Daphne take a rather perverse liking to the recliner Frasier buys.
  • Casanova Wannabe: The episode begins with Frasier interviewing a psychiatrist who's recently published a new book, only for the psychiatrist to express more interest in flirting with Roz, who reciprocates up until Frasier shows her the guy's picture on the book jacket.
  • Duct Tape for Everything: Martin uses duct tape to patch up a rip in his chair, much to Frasier's chagrin.
  • Not What It Looks Like: Niles lets Daphne try on a necklace meant as a gift for Maris, only to accidentally drop it down her cleavage. Daphne goes to fish it out and has Niles try to see if he can spot it - naturally, just as Frasier walks in the door.
  • Series Continuity Error: Martin is unsettled at the new chair's vibration setting. This is despite his own chair having the same feature.
  • Shame If Something Happened: Mrs. Warren convinces Frasier to take part in her play by threatening Martin's chair.
  • Shout-Out: Frasier makes a crack about Beavis directed at Leo.
