Frasier
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Frasier is the most vile, low-brow, crude, immature television show ever created. Most of its humour derives from the star of the show, Frasier "Fat Bastard" Crane (played by Kelsey Grammar), as he wreaks havoc on the Seattle community. Typical misadventures include exploiting people's trust to get money out of them and deliberately giving out poor advice on his radio show. Nevertheless, Crane's rebellious antics have made him popular with young viewers, although he has received much critism from television regulators and the Christian right, who have repeatedly tried to get the programme banned.
Almost as shocking as Frasier is the character of Niles, Frasier's brother, in the programme. Niles, whilst putting on the persona of an emotionally repressed homosexual, is in fact a sexual predator and much of the programme focused on his ploys to ensnare the innocent maid Daphne into his twisted web of sexual deviance. This finally occurred when Niles left his wife-to-be on their wedding day, screaming 'Only virgins can wear white, you whore!' out of the window as he drove off with Daphne. The later series focused on his abusive relationship with Daphne, culminating in the birth of their child which Niles promptly sold into sexual slavery to buy more expensive suits. David Hyde Pierce was blasted by Feminist groups for his portrayal of the misognistic and abusive Niles and has been refused many high profile roles as a result. He stands by his decision to play the character, however, stating 'There's a Niles in all of us waiting to come out. Those who can't accept that don't deserve to watch television let alone criticise it.'
The show also regularly features supposedly witty one liners and smug references that appear on a black background, referring to the events of the following scene. Over time, however, these became more and more overtly racist in tone and soon bore little relation to the actual content of the programme. The now infamous phrase 'Rights for Whites' recurred more and more frequently until by the Eighth Season it was the only message displayed during the show. When asked for comment Kelsey Grammer said 'The show was so shit by that time very few people noticed'.

[edit] History
The character of Frasier Crane can be traced back to the lovable '80s sitcom Cheers in which Crane was a regular at the Boston bar. Here, he would engage in banter with the rest of the barflies and even give free pschyciatric advice to those who requested it. However, as the series progressed Crane became more and more frustrated with his pedestrian role in society and became lured into the mysterious arts of pretentiousness, a "dark side" if you will. By the Eleventh and final season Crane was almost beyond salvation, opting for a Martini or a Creme de Menthe over the usual beer, wearing a monacle at every opportunity and meeting Cliff's dubious trivia with a curt "Hmph!" before continuing to read the Wall Street Journal. In the series finale, Sam Malone attempts to change Frasier back into who he used to be. A fire breaks out in the Cheers bar, trapping the two inside. Crane refuses to call the fire brigade, stating that "to stay in the bar and imolate would be the gentlemanly thing to do".. Sam is unable to turn Frasier and narrowly escapes, shouting "You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the higher classes, not join them!". Frasier is eventually rescued, badly burned, and is put in the hands of Niles, who fixes him up with a face mask complete with breathing apparatus, which gives him his trademark smooth, baritone voice, perfect for radio. Crane becomes Darth Frasier.
[edit] Frasier's exploits
- In one episode, after hearing about an Indian immigrant's negative opinion about his radio show, Frasier plots his revenge. He manages to trace the man's location down to a news-stand, where the gentleman worked for a living. After threatening the owner, Frasier scares him off and razes the news-stand to the ground. He is last seen dancing round the fire singing 'Burn Baby Burn' before giving his trademark maniacal laugh.
- In another, Crane hatches a mischievous plan to take money off some homeless people. On Christmas Day he goes to a homeless shelter, eats a meal there and pretends that he can't afford to pay. In an act of kindness, the tramps gather what little money they have to pay for the meal, including an entire day's donations for playing the guitar on a street corner. Frasier then takes out his wallet, burns a 50 dollar bill in front of all in the shelter and drives off in his expensive car, while laughing like a maniac.
- Another shocking episode sees Frasier and Niles joining a car-repair course in order to psychologically torment the teacher. After writing a litany of insults in French concerning the teacher's terminally ill sister, the pair are kicked off the course. As the credit's role Frasier and Niles are seen accosting the teacher in Cafe Nervosa before assaulting him and forcing him to perform oral sex on the pair. Niles and Frasier laugh maniacally throughout the abuse (Although it later became apparent that this scene was unscripted and was a practical joke played by Kelsey Grammar and David Hyde Pierce on the actor that was shockingly caught on camera).
- One episode finds Frasier and Martin at odds over whether or not to buy digital cable. Frasier hatches a plot to get his father to agree with him. Frasier proceeds to seduce Martin's new girlfriend, whilst his father remains ignorant at a low-quality play, the tickets to which Frasier stole from a poor man who spent his life's savings to buy, in order to make a gift for his family. Frasier then has sex with his father's girlfriend, and super-imposes his brother's face over his own, then mails the tape to his father. His father proceeds to disown Niles, and Frasier takes all his worldly possessions, blaming it on the foreign men that drove the moving truck. He then sits down on his couch, his father screaming hysterically at his girlfriend from the other room. We see a fade out shot of his father brutally beating his girlfriend, and his maid when she enters the room, and we hear Fraiser laughing maniacally.
[edit] Facts
- Spencer's step dad will only watch this show
- Kelsey Grammer committed suicide after realizing how horrible this show is. His body was never found.
- Rather than being played by one single dog, hundreds of thousands of Eddies were bred in a specially adapted warehouse for the show. The cruel conditions in which this was done were famously exposed by FOX News in its piece 'Frasier Dog Factory'. Series producer David Angell defiantly said on FOX News 'These things don't mean anything to us. We don't even see them as animals. We call them units, and I'm afraid we need to get through at least fifty units a day to keep Frasier fresh and funny.' This incident led to PETA boycotting the show for many years and Kesley Grammer (before his suicide) had many attempts on his life by animal rights activists.
- John Mahoney, who played Frasier's dad Martin, was so appalled by the racist message of the programme that he tried to leave several times. He was contractually obliged to complete all eleven seasons, however, and remained on the programme after the producers threatened his loved ones. As a result he rarely speaks in interviews about his time on 'Frasier'.
- Each mention of an obscure wine, literatary work or piece of classical music contains a hidden reference to racially-motivated topics. For example, while dining at a fancy restaurant, Frasier is often seen ordering a bottle of 1982 Château Élire Le Pen, before discussing the delights of Heydrich's enchanting opera, Der herrliche Völkermord. While sipping his afternoon latte, Niles is frequently seen reading The Turner Diaries by William Luther Pierce.
