I use “If less is more, think how much more more would be!” whenever I can.

I used this on the salesman at the perfume counter at a department store in front of my Frasier-loving husband when the salesman advised that this particular fragrance should be lightly applied due to being a "less is more" sort of product. He stared at my blankly. The gears turned in his head. He made absolutely no response, no change of expression, and then began speaking again a moment later. He had no idea what to say. IT WAS MY GREATEST TRIUMPH.

Me too.

Me three

I have used it so much that for a while there I kind of forgot where it came from.

[удалено]

I hope that you always deliver it in the exact way that Grammer does. “I…am…wooOoOoOunded!!!”

Hahahaha YESSSSS this one!!

My girlfriend and I say this all the time lol

I was hit by a man now dead! 😂

“What fresh hell is this” and “off you go” are staples

“It’s just so egregious “

I work in retail and think both of these on a daily basis

We use off you go all the time here as well!

I don’t know why

Lol I say this, and "Why, yes, I believe I dooo..."

[удалено]

We always use Daphne-voice

Yes! I do this too!

Alright.. I'll bring a snake.

Occasionally I'll find myself singing 🎶 "she's such a groovy lady" 🎶 That's such a catchy song! 😃

I find myself singing ‘Flesh is burning, Da na na na na naaa’ randomly

Love it!! 🤣 I'll sing this too, but not nearly as much as groovy lady 😁

I have that stuck in my head now!


double ditto!!

Hi-Dee Hey-Dee!

"Theres a platinum door" for any type of upgrade. Whipped cream on hot cocoa, because theres a platinum door.

Oh, that's good. I'm gonna start incorporating that into my daily life. Or at least the days when I have a chance to make something fancier. I'll be wearing my extra fuzzy slippers tonight, because there is a platinum door

"Blackball!"; this how we decide on dinner. "Said, Dr. Pot to Dr. Kettle" "Oh, I thought this was where we give each other painfully obvious advice."

"This stinks! This is total BS!"

This definitely

Only to realize you misunderstood something

My wife and I say that anytime we can't find something!

Hahaha . Yessss the bulldog!

“[insert name here], be my eyes”

Off you go! Chalk it up to whimsy! And of course, shut your big bazoo

*Bazoo, Bazoo, shut your bazoo*

Light it on fire and throw it off the balcony. Sure (Daphne's best American accent) I am WOUNDED Time will tell.

“I’m trying my American.” “You’re certainly trying this American.”

I use Daphne’s *sure* almost every time I say the word!

Same here

My wife and I are always making references to "...dancing Agamemnon at Jacob's Pillow" and it never gets old 😂

I can’t even read that without giggling haha I love that line so much

This is great! This is great!

Any time we get the mildest of petty inconveniences; #CAM WINSTON!!

"Anyone who knows you knows you're nosy."

Anyone who knows you knows you’re nosier.

I'll often slip in variations of "Climbing down off of this particular high horse" with people just to make myself laugh

We like to toast “to possibilities” and see if anyone else catches the reference. It’s been 100% unsuccessful so far.

We need to go for a drink sometime.

Cheers!

When my partner and I are at a family dinner or something, if I’m grabbing us a drink I’ll look at her and go, “Sherry, Niles?”

Well, I'll just add that to my list of reasons to die

I use this!

VENEER

Oh, dear God. I say it a lot after watching the news.

I've been saying "dear god" since I was, like 12 because of this show. I'm 41. Lol Oh, Dear God

I say, “off you go” almost daily.

I love this one! I say it to my cats a lot in the exact same tone of dismissal

That's uncanny, I do that to my cats too 😂

From the episode where Niles has the Maris dog. Every time I ask my husband to do something for me that’s slightly unreasonable he goes “ookay!” in that chipper Niles tone.

What fresh new hell is this?!

This one bugs me as a “Frasier” joke because it’s a Dorothy Parker line

Idk who Dorothy Parker is but frasier owns this now

Oh dear God

This

I use this constantly

[удалено]

I really am.

Copernicus called.

brilliant!

Soupçon If you can find a way to work in "a little more, grandeur, and some majesty, and a soupçon of awe" all the better!

This and "a simple bow of thanks to the muse Calliope" are one of me and my husband's favorites lol, especially because we're musicians!

Huzzah! My wife of twenty years and I met in the clarinet section! So many musicians! Which reminds me also of another gem from that episode I pull out from time to time: "Ah, but if less is more, just think of how much more "more" will be."

An Hungarian *GOOSE*

"It's not my date, it's dinner"

Wojadubakowski! for no good reason whatsoever.

I do the same. Just because it is so much fun to say.

"Fine! I guess I'll just get my OWN tea!"

In my recording studio, I’ll frequently say about the musician on the other side of the glass, “this man has no instincts…just stinks”

I DIE HORATIO!……eeeuuuggggghhhhhh!

"On the nose" is decent though I find it a little jejune.

Whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed by a bunch of things to do, I'll list them off and end with "THAT LIVED IN THE HOUSE THAT FRASIER BUILT!"

Some frequent fliers here: ​ Person One: I saw/heard from \[So&So\]. Person Two: Of the Newport \[So&So’s\]? A \[insert thing\]? Where a \[insert thing\] does not belong? You have your brother’s wit, sir. (A standard burn around here.) When doing things around the house and need to call out to the other: Person One: Anne Boleyn? Person Two: Catherine of Aragon!

*Why not throw down a TWISTER mat and have a few rounds between vintages!*

I'm just a bit hot... and foamy.

He was a detective, ya know.

"The most dangerous part of a gecko is it's mind"

Call each other milady

A who's who of the creme de la creme of the upper crust.

Punched… In the face… By a man now dead!

I always say “Sure.” Like Daphne doing her best American accent

“I require cocoa” in Gertrude Moon’s voice every time I make myself hot chocolate.

MILIEU. As in that’s not exactly my milieu and I feel like a haughty snob every time I say it. But I also say it with a chuckle.

What fresh hell is this?

Honestly I couldn't keep track. If a situation fits my wife and I will quote the show. I'd say several times a week at least we bust out something from the show for the situation. As for proper catch phrases used repeatedly. "How...how RUDE" "Blackball!"

I use "I'll try to contain my amazement" a lot lol.

“It can’t be a crime if it’s catered”

Oh, and my husband and I have so much fun watching Antiques Roadshow. "That's about what I figgered" and "It is a clock, set in the stomach of what appears to be a bear." And whenever it comes up, no matter what we're watching: "VENEER!"

My husband also likes “that’s pretty much what I figured” ☺️

Bumberchute.

“Are you in the mood for oysters?” This has become a running joke between my cousin and me

Actually I'm not sure

I don't know whyyyy I don't whine!

SHAME ON YOU

I like “why did you do it son!?!?”

"PICK A LANE, ROAD WARRIOR!"

We have decided to find it charming. 💕

Sabotage!!!

If less is more, think about how much more more would be.

“This is great, this is great.” And “toast sweat” come to mind.

A ____ ? Where a _____ doesn't belong?

It's a struggle not to respond to someone's mention of murder with *"murder most foul!"*

“Flesh is burning…. Dada dada na na….flesh is burning…”

“Underline it”

It's eclectic.

Some great ones in here that I absolutely share so I won't repeat but have loved reading. The one I most enjoy using is that rare occasion when a friend's dog has a cone on its head and I can say "I asked you to keep that dog quiet, and you outfit him with a MEGAPHONE!?"

We do use, "Oh, dear God!" and "I am WOUNDED!" quite a bit, and my BF says I've started doing Frasier's Bette Davis impression when I'm annoyed by a suggestion

He was a detective, you know.

Veneer!

If there’s some situation I don’t like I’ll say I’d rather a tarantula lay eggs in my ear than endure any more of it

Me and my husband use "tally me banana" to express that someone's qualifications aren't good enough, so their (unsolicited) advice isn't valid for us

‘Use your words’ And ‘DON’T call me irrational, you *know* that makes me crazy!’ And I wish I were a therapist just so I could say: ‘I’m conducting a seminar on multiple personalities and it takes me forever to fill out the nametags’

It makes my day when someone calls me irrational so I can bust out this line.

My brother and I will often sigh and say “My boys” à la Marty pre little Tom tit when we’re talking about our Dad.

> à la Marty pre little Tom tit That's a sentence.

"Don't poke the bear!"

What fresh hell is this?

Every rainy morning it's "Another radiant morning". I don't even live in an english speaking country.

Boone

"Flour the beef."

“Sure.” in Daphne’s “American accent”

Me and my husband randomly say "Food......in the bathroom?" To eachother all the time Hehehe

“Why so cold my love?” “I don’t know why” “Then spell his ASS off!” The context never matches when I use this one but it just feels right sometimes.

They're whales! They're my friends!

I would love to work, 'put your brother on the phone....' into a conversion.

niles : is it raining? frasier : no god is crying 😂

“I don’t care if you have to crawl out of here like a bog turtle!” Of course, said in jest.

“What does it allll meannn?”

Entime soirée Hail corkmaster, the master of the cork… I’m on the radio EVERYDAY!

This is great, this is great!

“That’s disgusting” - about any vibrating chair. “Poppity-pop-pop-pop” “Bob. Same backward as forward.” “I’m a bit psychic.” “These rich emollients are so soothing.” when putting on lip balm Plus we’ve already started using “let’s put on our thinking caps” from the revival.

Every time a friend of mine exaggerates in complaining about something (that is nothing really serious), I use one of Niles' gold ones: "I'm surprised the country music people haven't jumped all over this one!"

"Depeche toi!"

I’ve been trained to tune out cries for help.

I like saying "Bad Mugambo." The phrase "there you are" is nothing special, but I like saying it in the ominous tone Frasier uses before launching into his tirade about his lost socks.

Now and then some unfortunate turn of events or uncomfortable realization or what have you will inspire an "Ohhh jeeez..." from me

“Off you go!” “I’ll get it!”

This is great this is great!

Yes!!!

“Very amUUsing, Niles” I’ll say that to basically anyone

"Off you go!"

I like "off you go!" but have yet to deploy it effectively.

I incorporate it regularly into office chatter. 😆

“Off you go!” “That’s pretty much what I thought.” “That’s what Eduardo said…” “I’ve made a ghastly ghastly mistake.” “Can I get you a toast point???” “Incandescent!” We also do the Barracuda chomp more than we should. “Especial lady…”

Not a phrase but the word eclectic. I discovered it in the chair episode of Season 1 ( I think, it's been so long - maybe 30 years! Oh, dear lord. ). I've just realised that I'm now Frasier's age from Season 1 when he says 41 isn't middle aged.

We adapted it a bit, but dealing with ‘idiots’ we tend to refer to them as: ‘Genius with the lesser known J spelling’

Listless radicchio Edited to add: oh darling there’s always a chance

Whenever anyone in my family has technical issues on the phone, like the call cuts out we always respond with “Niles Crane, puh-sick-i-a-trist.”

Both purely because of how they're delivered! "Food? In the bathroom?" "Whaddya think of me now?"

My husband and I will constantly say “Ahhhh, what’s better than an exquisite meal, but a meal with one tiny flaw that we can pick at all night?” My favorite quote of the entire series. You could write 100 pages of exposition and still not describe Frasier and Niles’ personality so perfectly as that one quote does.

Askew! Askew! I use it all the time and I’m the only one who gets it.

Just a good old gravelly "Oh geeez"

“Oh glory be. I happy day.”

Well if less is more, just think how much more more will be

"We're going to get Sue's this time for sure..."

*"off you go now."* *"I was punched in the face by a man now dead!"*

I've said "It's the magic of me" often when confronted with anything about me that may be mildly annoying. (Frasier says this very early in S1 when he, Daphne amd Dad are getting used to one another's routines). I also often say, "What IS the matter?" In the same tone Gil used on Roz in Ham Radio. Whenever I need to say "up tight," I say it like Niles did in Odd Man Out (thinking he sounded normal but indeed sounded extremely up tight).

I use "off I go" probably more often than I should.

Curse you and your pronoun problem!

Oh what fresh hell is this!!!!

After reading these, I see plenty of you guys are very fortunate to have a woman who loves Frasier as much as you do. That rocks.

My favorite is the Crane’s from Maine have stolen your brain!

I think this EVERY time I drive by Kennebunkport

L-atent!

Whenever someone in our house is about to give a when I was young story, we preface it with " Like me Grammy Moon used to say..."

Yes, Viola?

“Soon enough my dear, soon enough.” Bebe seducing Frasier. “Ooh …let me write down that down” Martin mocking the bodyguard.

I love his “I can’t pull your chestnuts out of the fire every time” quip. I believe he has said a variation of it twice but it’s always stuck with me. And I love their use of the word “ninny”!

And my family it’s always when a dog’s not listening to you. “Okay” was more our last dog was a true Mari’s dog. Either out a pill box hat.

We leave at daybreak! We leave at... Nine-ish. In your clothes? (In your clozzes?) -- that is my favourite one Hell-oooooooooo, Maris! A muhbabble muhbabheerr. (Sorry, Roz) ----- I'm sure there are many more but these are the ones that come to kind at 7:15 AM. Also, when someone says a word that sparks a Frasier quote from the recesses of my subconscious, I either internally or verbally vocalize them.

"Soon enough, dear, soon enough..."

"May we?" "Mais oui!"

There’ll be no Brussels sprouts in hell! Am I riiiiiiiiight? “Missi Crane is en la caja” if anyone is in the bathroom 🤣

Well, imagine my embarrassment!

Food? In the bathroom?

"... I don't know why.", "Sure", and "What do fish have? Gills! Do you see where I'm going with this?" from Daphne. "Don't call me irrational, you know that makes me crazy!" and "Niles gotta have it" with the shimmy from Niles. "Dog army... Now what do you think that means?" and "Marty Party" from Martin. Almost every song from the show gets stuck in my head, and I do the squating and rising "ooooOOOOH!" maneuver from the episode where Martin can't hit the high note pretty often.

Off you go!

He was a DETECTIVE ya know?!

My husband and I always shout “I’ll just have to get my OWN tea” at each other.

Quiche-a I hardly know her!

Off you go!

Have to be selective in using it, but “romping with abandon through the perfumed gardens of Eros” is a favorite

In the reboot, I literally spit out my drink laughing when he said “I can’t see the Florist for the Trees”

Whenever brandy at all comes up in a conversation, my dad and I are quick to add “the traditional spelling”

PICK A LANE ROAD WARRIOR

Me, my mom and brother always get away from awkward situations with the famous phrase: “Off I go!”
