Indeed. I've often thought a lot of comedy shows do that. Some shows are really artless and it's painfully obvious that they've engineered a plot or scene around a simple punchline. Other shows are better scripted. I would count Frasier as one of the latter.

I love this scene, its one of my favorites in the series. Unfortunately...it's also the reason this show can never survive a reboot. Half of all the humor in the show came from solid, well crafted, revenge jokes, taking years to finally reach the satisfying punchline. And one of the brilliant things about the shows finale was, they punch lined ALL of the running gags. The other issue? the other half of the humor came directly from fraiser and friends odd couple interactions with his father, and since he's now dead the show would never work without him.

Donny deserved better. He fought for Niles and won. He was one of the few ppl in his corner.

Donnie was actually a pretty good lawyer

It was so dirty, the way Maris treated Niles, yet he took it like a champ. And he got time redeemed when he dates and married Daphne AND had a baby by her. Loved Frasier.

2 babies. It was in the hospital episode when he had a dodgy heart. Indeed though, a lovely redemption.

Yeah, it just wouldn't be the same if they did a reboot

Out of the entire series this is my favorite scene.

Is this toilet humour?

Yes. A urinal is a urine-only toilet for men, in case you didn't know. Urinal cakes are those deoderant disks the janitors use for keeping them from smelling bad.

I never cared for Donny to much, but how that went down with him getting screwed over at the altar, was beyond messed up.

So, just in case you think this only happens on TV, let me tell you a story. I'm an ordained minister and about 20 years ago I performed a ceremony for a couple. They were having a "Buddhist themed" wedding and somehow one of their requirements was to be married in the morning "while the hands on the clock are moving upward". As I'm trying to get the vows they'd written(which later I found they didn't write any) the mother of the bride pulls me aside and tells me not to include anything about "if there is someone who objects..." because the father of the bride and an ex-bf were planning to interrupt the ceremony. We literally had to take your standard ceremony and make sure there were no opportunities for them to cause trouble. During the whole thing everyone was worried we were gonna have an outburst. I also had a ceremony on Valentine's Day where the only "vows" that anyone had written was, and I quote, "that *she* will be faithful"......not that *they* would be faithful to one another. Later I found out that the first marriage didn't last a few weeks and I'm pretty sure the latter marriage probably didn't last much longer, if it even lasted the night.

I felt so sorry for donny, he was actually a pretty nice guy but at least they gave him a happy ending.

The mid seasons of Frasier burned a couple of great characters. Donnie was one, but I really liked the neurotic surgeon Miles married after he divorced Maris. She should have got way more screen time but they seemed to rush the Niles / Daphne landing...

For a second i thought it was gonna be slavery...a tad dark i know but then niles made a subtle smile and i knew it was something ridiculous

I clearly remember seeing this when it first aired. I've long thought this would make the perfect million dollar question on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Very, very few people know about this and the correct answer would immediately sound like a gag answer to any contestant trying to guess!!!

Saul Rubinek knows how to collect "The Most Toys." STNG

What a great show

When is the last time you heard a television show use a word like ‘doyen’? This show was pure gold

Every character he has ever played who has to hand someone a folder he does it just like that 😂

As much as I love Niles and Daphne I always felt that they did Donny dirty.

I love that the intel is in a bright yellow folder.
