EarthBound in Frasier S03E09
Ойындар
This is the sequence in Frasier (Season 3, Episode 9) in which (an) EarthBound box(es) are visible on-camera as Frasier and Niles Crane shop at a toy store for "The Living Brain" for Frederick (in my opinion, they should've been shopping for EarthBound). This is one of EarthBound's very few TV appearances.
This clip was gleaned from a visually transparent x264 re-encode of the official DVD.

1:30 - "With any luck, the kind of dork who'll be operating on your prostate someday!" Seen this episode dozens of times, and it still kills me.
seriously, Niles looks like he is having such a fun time in the toy store. :)
I watched this entire series and never noticed the Earthbound box in this episode! I love Frasier, it’s one of the wittiest and most smartly written shows.

Martin got the robo thing for Frasier for Fredrick. Sweet episode.
One of my favourite TV Comedies.❤
I love that this is here for the EarthBound.
*This was the episode in Frasier where Frasier's son Fredrick was first played by a different child actor than the one we all know. Idk what happened to him, maybe the directors, cast or producers didn't like him. Maybe the kid got sick or his parents pulled him out, but after this episode Freddy was replaced with a different child who would end up being the one they used for the entire run of the show.*

My guess is they just didn’t think the kid was right for the part. Looking at Fredrick in later episodes the kid who plays him perfectly captures the personality of a kid who likes to have fun whilst also enjoying educational stuff whilst the kid in this episode only seemed to be a regular kid with zero signs of being highly intelligent

I think it was a schedule conflict. The kid got his own show based on the Judy Blume character "Fudge" in the same year this episode aired, so he might not have been available the next time they needed him. I'm sure you'll finally be able to get some sleep now that that mystery is solved😅.

Knowing how astonishingly stupid children are and how viciously litigious parents will get at their harm nowadays, it very may well kill their companies. I still remember those plastic Pokemon balls they used to give out at either McDonalds or BK they discontinued. The media can say what they like about video games causing violence- no 2-year old ever stuck one on his face and suffocated to death.

+PeterDivine To be fair, Pokemon is nothing more than glorified cockfighting aimed for children. But yeah, toys became less creative and less fun by the turn of the century. The '80s really had the best toys; Hell, the '90s too. Also, toys got way too expensive.

Obviously, he should have bought the kid Earthbound. Probably a SNES, too. That would have raised him to be a cultured intellectual. AND he'd have a valuable piece of gaming history.
Just think. Somewhere we might have seen that exact copy of Earthbound in this video. That would be odd but cool. Or it was in a land fill because everyone hated the game at the time.
