Comedy?
This shit is Big Bang Theory.
No one likes this show
It had some of the smartest TV writing of all time, and it holds up very well. A lot of it is satire, poking fun at people who feel vindicated by their taste, high breeding and sensibility. At least, that's how it always came across to me. It's not my favorite show of all time but it is funny: it's a classic for a reason.
>It had some of the smartest TV writing of all time
they're israeli, what's confusing
I do.
This is supposed to make me want to watch the show?

Filtered, by Frasier of all things
>can't provide arguments how this show isn't similar to TBBT
>f-filtered
(you)
>i am smart, i am above it all, i am cynical
Even Terry hates Frasier.
it doesn't matter who is written to hate who.
it isn't real.
plots are written by people.
the show is a prototype for big bang theory.
>The Coulibiliac of salmon
What a moronicly pretentious way of saying it, you can just say "Coulibiliac" because no one uses any fish but salmon for "Coulibiliac." It's like saying "the hamburger of beef"
I know these threads are just bait but I can't help but fall for it.
The punchline isn't what he listed, it's that his equally pretentious brother scoffs at his choices and calls him "so predictable".
I think he was evening the odds after his brother being right twice about his problems. First when he said that he was middle-aged, and second when he said that if he was dating the 22yo woman because he genuinely thought the relationship could go somewhere and not just because of his fear of getting older then screw what everyone else said.
Since they are always competitive he had to undermine Niles somehow, even though he might've chosen himself what Nils chose or something similar.
I think they're both just that pretentious and it's funny.
Not sure if that joke is worth three minutes of laughing and hooting from the audience.
it's still big bang theory.
it was better at the time but it's still cheap compared to the sort of shit amateurs on twitter write nowadays.
>gets proven wrong
>I-I'm still right
kek the big bang theory jokes are exactly the same. there's no other way to explain it.
>sheldon says something nerdy
>indian guy out-nerds him with no self awareness
>we laugh at both
No the other anon was right. The joke wasn't Niles' snobby answers but Frasier's response to him.
In TBBT one episode starts with them walking up the stairs while discussing GoT plotlines while laughtrack plays behind every other sentence.
yes, his equally cringy response.
or, his unexpected level of self-awareness.
both gags feature heavily in acclaimed sitcom "big bang theory"
they're the same show.
you can find the joke unfunny but you must admit they are different types of jokes.
One is mention of popculture/snobbism itself the other is other person's response to mention of popculture/snobbism
i get plenty of laughs from frasier and i find big bang theory hard to stomach but no - they're the same jokes, it's not "one" or "the other" both shows have both.
>Hey Sheldon, who is your favorite throw-away character in Jabba's Palace?
>well, it would have to be Gerbeldweez of course!
>*scoff* so predictable
[Laughter intensifies]
That is pretty funny tbf
Sheldon would choose something obvious that most of audience would be familiar with, like Boba Fett
Hint: Gerbeldweez isn't a real character (at least I hope not, because that would be scary as hell)
TBBT would play laughtrack right after Sheldon's line
That would have been too clever a joke for BBT audience to understand.
People who says shit like this never watched TBBT
Have you ever watched it?
They always had the most vanilla science and pop culture nerd stuff in that show.
What exactly is clever about it?
Better written than most TBBT jokes. The laugh track usually kicks in after the reference with TBBT.
theyre at least portrayed as arrogant jackasses and usually get their comeuppance
a key difference is with the big bang theory you get people who never played a video game in their life pretending they know what an emulator is
but with frasier it's a bit different because i have no idea what the frick theyre talking about with that stuff but it is fine because thats not the point
Niles fell so hard for that ass it turned him into an IRL gay
>Niles fell so hard for that ass it turned him into an IRL gay
I'm surprised his ex wife and kids didnt end up in barrels
He never had any children until the son he has with Daphne.
This show is boring, unfunny trash. Only "liked" by contrarians who think they are superior for watching this over more popular and funnier sitcoms like Friends or Seinfeld
>Only "liked" by contrarians
It was one of the most popular shows of its time.
not as popular or liked as the other two though.
Daphne was the reverse Kramer
>You only like that third most popular thing to be contrarian
I'm talking specifically on Cinemaphile
Most of the time Frasiergays brag about being superior for watching this pretentious crap only to dunk on Seinfeld and Friends fans.
Frasier threads are barely active and it doesn't even get mentioned in the best sitcom lists by normalgays.
Seinfeld > Frasier > Friends
Frasier > Seinfeld > Friends
>Frasier threads are barely active
I've been in bundles that hit bump limit. It's popular here. It's not Sopranos or anything but it's well represented and no one is anonymously pretending to like anything.
>normalgays
Because they watch garbage. Frasier at its peak is unrivaled in its writing and character strength. You won't find a show cooked to perfection from its first episode to any other sitcom on TV. Closest would be Arrested Development, but even that took time for the pieces to fall in to place.
>Most of the time Frasiergays brag about being superior
It sounds like reading discussions in Frasier threads made you feel inferior, then you projected of these feelings to tell yourself Frasierchads were "bragging". This is a standard coping mechanism for cognitive dissonance, failing to resolve one's perceived low intelligence. I don't think you are any less intelligent than me, but it seems you suffer from a complex where you can't help but see yourself as such. Your situation is classically Freudian, if not hamfistedly so. Perhaps this is one such "bait" post anons keep clamoring about.
Caliendo does a great Kelsey Grammer impression
7/10 not bad
friends is literal fricking caca
4U
Still funnier than Frasier though.
This is one of the most contrarian posts I've read today
is Cinemaphile just nothing but bait threads now? what the frick is wrong with you morons
I don't think you are fully aware just how much liberals and trannies hate Cinemaphile/white culture and want to destroy it and spread misery. You probably thought this was just some irrelevant slapfight between divergent groups of shitposters, and not an actual full-on 24/7 discord-fueled "never again" raid to make sure you're never, ever allowed to bond with other young white men from your generation over shared culture and happier times.
>Cinemaphile/white culture
Get the frick off my board you newbie election tourist homosexual
See what I mean? Look at the rage this underage zoomer possesses. Or is possessed by.
>muh culture wars
No one cares you moronic homosexual. Stfu and let us enjoy a nice sitcom thread.
>zoomer continues to rage impotently
They hate you and everything you enjoy.
continues to rage impotently
>They hate you and everything you enjoy.
I hope the irony isn't lost on you.
All the major sitcoms were made by israelites moron. Why would you want to bond and reminisce over something made by people who hate you
There was a time when israelites made things for goys instead of for destroying them.
All of it was made to destroy you. Take the long view of history
Big Bang theory is stupid nonsense. This show was actually rather introspective.
yeah a balding guy with a mullet and his gay brother talking in faux British accents is sooooo much better
Frasier has actual plots
Transatlantic accent is not 'faux British'.
doesn't matter, it sounds gay af
Big bang theory used jargon and vaguely scientific references to demonstrate how intelligent the characters were. The viewer is meant to relate to being a smart giga IQ nerd like Sheldon because they understand what an electron is.
Frasier used "high culture" references to demonstrate how up their own ass the characters were. The viewer is meant to laugh at how seriously these ridiculous people were taking themselves.
Black person
I finally watched a couple of episodes of this show the other day after years of seeing it praised here. One was about an old guy who dies during a game of murder at a dinner party, the other was about the brothers trying to outbid each-other at an auction. They were both pretty lame and unfunny. Did I catch parts of a poor season or is the whole show like this?
Just watch the pilot and stop if you don't like it
Leaked Frasier REBOOT scene 1
Scene: The Seattle skyline comes into view, but there's a certain dullness to it that fails to capture the enchantment of the past. The title "FRAZIER" blinks onto the screen in bold letters, met with a scattered chuckle from an audience that seems a bit too polite.
Apartment interior. Frasier Crane, looking a tad weathered but still sophisticated, is arranging some books on a shelf. The apartment, although reminiscent of the past, lacks its previous warmth and elegance.
Frasier: (with a forced grin) Ah, another beautiful day in the Emerald City, where the coffee's strong and the therapy bills are even stronger.
Enter Marvin, an older gentleman trying to channel Martin's charm
Marvin: (attempting a gruff tone) Hey there, Fras. You know, I can't quite figure out why you need so many books. Everything you need's on the internet now.
Frasier: (sarcastically) Oh, Marvin, how foolish of me! I must have missed the memo that the internet replaced thousands of years of literary culture.
Marvin plops down on the couch, which seems a bit sunken in.
Marvin: (gesturing at the couch) Speaking of culture, I think your fancy taste in furniture might be the reason this thing's about as comfortable as a park bench.
The live audience chuckles, but it's more out of courtesy than genuine amusement.
Frasier: (rolls his eyes) Marvin, there's more to life than comfort. It's about refinement, sophistication, and embracing the finer things.
Marvin shifts awkwardly on the couch, clearly not on the same page.
Marvin: (muttering) Well, you can keep your refinement. I'll take a good old recliner any day.
Frasier: (leaning in, mockingly) You know, Marvin, they say a recliner is the true crown israeliteel of intellectual pursuit.
Marvin: Well, it's better than trying to understand why you're still single, Fras.
The audience chuckles halfheartedly
Frasier: Ah, Marvin, you're like a breath of stale air in a room that's lost its charm.
Marvin grumbles and takes a sip from a mug that doesn't quite look like it belongs in Frasier's posh apartment.
The door swings open and Nigel strides in with an air of faux sophistication. Attempting to mimic Niles's signature delivery
Nigel: (exaggeratedly) Well, I must say, your taste in decor remains as bafflingly gauche as ever.
Frasier responds with an exasperated sigh, clearly unimpressed by Nigel's imitation.
Frasier: (resignedly) Nigel, my taste is a symphony of refined sensibilities that only a true connoisseur could appreciate.
Marvin, who has been sitting off to the side, looks increasingly irritated by their exchange. He makes a noise that seems like an attempt at one of Martin's signature phrases, but the words come out in a jumble of incomprehensible sounds.
Marvin: (grumbling)
The audience inexplicably erupts into laughter, that outstays its welcome by at least five seconds
Suddenly, a deafening crash shatters the awkward atmosphere. The camera cuts to the kitchen, where one of Frasier's prized art pieces lies shattered on the floor.
Frasier: (horror-stricken) My Chagall lithograph! It's in smithereens!
Nigel rushes over with an exaggerated expression of concern, but his attempt at empathy falls flat.
Nigel: (awkwardly imitating Martin) Well, I guess that's one way to bring art to the masses, eh?
Marvin, looking a touch pleased by the tension, grumbles again, producing another garbled attempt at a Martin-like line
Marvin: (muttering) Hey don't be in there all day, I need to get a beer before my program starts
The audience chuckles, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Marvin's phrase doesn't quite make sense. The camera zooms in on Frasier's strained smile while uncomfortable Jazz music drones on in the background.
Cheers was good and for regular working class people
Frasier is for snooty rich gays
Frasier and Niles are routinely the butt of jokes because they're stuck up and pretentious. It's what keeps them from having a real relationship with their dad. Through something called character growth they bridge that gap and become closer.
Cheers is just normalhomosexual Taxi.
Cheers only started to be good when Frasier was introduced, and only genuinely became good after Diane left. Even then it still wasn't as good as Frasier.

you ever watch bbt?
i used to work in a place where it was actually played back-to-back with frasier in the lunch room.
I HEAR THE israeliteS A CALLIN
The joke is that they are pompous nouveau riche buffons. In the same way certain groups try to imitate their idea of other people, they live their idea of cultured and rich people.
Frasiergays here are super autistic, and they seem to get very butthurt over any mention of seinfeld.
Frasier is entertainment for midwits
>Frasier is entertainment for midwits
That's only if the people praising it consider it to be legitimately high brow even though it's a fricking network sitcom. You are the real midwit here.
Not really m8
most Frasier fans think it is some high brow comedy and look down upon Seinfeld and Friends fans.
Well those people would be midwits then. It's a TV show made to entertain you.
But anon, they mention entry level basic b***h operas, and those are coded as smart, so it must be smart. QED
I don't know what QED means but "basic b***h opera" has gotta be the most pretentious sentence I've seen in some time.
How else would you describe the Wagner, Verdi and Puccini chestnuts that Frasier and Niles watch?
"Frickin nerd shit", you nerd
Nah, QED is more pretentious by far.
And for all that pretentiousness he can't even understand a show for "midwits".
I still don't know what the frick "QED" means though
That's because you're an uneducated pleb and/or zoomer too dumb to do a 5 second google search.
>ad hominem instead of information
Guess you don't know either.
It's more fun to wait for a reply, because I either get the answer, or I get some gay like you who's mad over srs bsns on the internet. Also I don't really care one way or the other.
quantum electrodynamics
Anon was making a nonsequiter to be humorous, but failed miserably
That's the point. They think that they are extremely knowledgeable, but psychiatry aside they aren't experts in any field.
They aren't experts in music. In fact when Frasier "directs" he gives no clear indication about dynamics or articulation, he just spouts random words and thinks they had an impact.
When he makes a whole deal about a painting he bought and invites everybody he knows the artists tells him that it's a forgery; he wasn't good enough to notice it.
His whole restaurant ordeal fails miserably.
They aren't supposed to be experts, they are supposed to be common folk with general culture that think they are the biggest shits, but they aren't. That's why their father always have the upper hand, their father knows who he is and isn't ashamed about it.
>They aren't experts in music
As pointed out by the very post you are responding to. They have boil in the bag bourgeois tastes
Actually both Frasier and Seinfeld are among my favorite comedies.
yea this faux-animosity anon is trying to peddle is not very credible.
I can see that argument, big bang theory is a bit more dumbed down, which is funny since Frasier isn't actually high brow, most of the jokes are low brow

what a fricking pleb
>that'sthejoke.jpeg
>touch on race issues ONCE
>it's Fraser being annoyed and miserable when forced to work with blacks
b-based?
Frasier making an impression of sassy black woman was peak television
>One of only two recurring black characters on the show that isn't a valet, janitor, bus driver, etc.
>She's a stereotype that only comes on for an episode about racism
>Only other black character, Cam Winston, could literally pass as a white man
I don't think Frasier is a racist show in any way, and when race did come up they handled it well, but I can see why it gets criticized sometimes for being "too white". Not that I think tv shows should have diversity for diversitys sake since that shit is just pandering, tokenistic, and condescending, but still it's funny.
Nobody besides clickbaiting "journalists" say Frasier is too white. If anything it's too boring.
>its a frasier accidently has an affair with kennys wife episode
>Coulibiliac
>Russian food
Frick off. Subtle dog whistle. Still detected though.
You're not seriously this deranged, are you?
you have to have an extremely high IQ to understand the joke.
deez nutz
I love when a brainlet like OP doesn't get the joke, and then gets upset.
>saying big words in a posh accent means it's funny
>pls laugh
Not OP. But I'm also a brainlet. Care to tell us what the joke is?
I don't think you'd be able to appreciate it. It's really more a "lived experience" kind of thing.
So there isn't one?
Fraiser is for people with 115IQ who think they're 130IQ while Big Bang theory is for people with 100IQ that think they have 130IQ
You're right, it is similar to big bang theory, or Confederacy of dunces, or don Quixote: it mocks a certain type of well-to-do, overeducated man whose sensibilities are shaped more by fiction than reality
Ironically I saw Kelsey Grammer play don Quixote in the west end recently. It was bretty good
This one.

I started season 1 and while I like it, I didn't expect so much yelling and genuine family drama in what was supposed to be a silly comedy about pretentious people
The family drama decreases as time goes on and it becomes more of a silly comedy about pretentious people later.

Holy gymnastics
Have you even had the Coulibiliac?
>its a 'Frasier steps on rakes and grunts over and over for 20 minutes' episode
this show was massive kino, but they really overdid it with "frasier has a new love interest!" stories in the last third of the series
Yeah it's a good show all the way through but it definitely started to go downhill after Niles and Daphne finally get together. I think they started focusing so much more on Frasier's many women because his dynamic with Niles changed and they couldn't always hang out together anymore.
Frasier was great. Was pretty consistent its whole run (post Niles/Daphne episodes are a little weaker but still very good)
