sometimes it really irks me that frasier is wrong so many times and is made a complete fool of despite the fact that its a part of the funny aspect of the show
@jthibideau I was thinking the same thing. But you're right it is part of the theme of the show and what makes it funny. The irony that this man has a PHD but is not as 'smart' as the "regular" folks! I just wish the writers had given poor Frasier a shot sometime. (no pun intended)
I'm from England and to knock somebody up is an expression... for making them pregnant. I do love this show but some of their English based jokes are way off :P
@XhoowieX It could be an era thing, Im 16 and from the UK and we might now use the American definition, but when this was originally filmed it may have been different?
See the thing is...wouldn't it seem a BIT normal for the hooker to have been writing 'HELP' in the dirt?? I mean she's being killed for crying out loud lol
Marty makes it sound like the strangest thing ever for her to do...:S Oh well.
@surrealfeline but it's rather illogical to write help in the dirt, you'd be more likely to be trying to get TO help than lay there, hope you're not going to bleed out, and write help in the dirt just in case someone walking past doesn't realise you're laying on the ground with a gunshot wound and thinks you're just chillin'.
The murder case is very similar to the Sherlock Holmes story "A study in scarlet." Frasier should have seen it, the clue is in the writing on the ground.
God... does anyone else think that Daphne is fucking gorgeous? Or it it just me?... (I mean mainly in the first couple of seasons. She never looked as good to me after they changed her hair and stuff)
I always love the interplay between British and American sayings. That's good joke writing. I had heard that Frasier was really popular in England. I know I love off the wall Brit coms as well. Their sense of humor is really great, but much different than ours.
@raspycellist It is popular in the UK. Though oddly it's not as popular as other shows like Friends. I guess it's because Friends is shown at least 8 times a day on one channels and Frasier's only shown about once every weekday when people are at school or work
@joevictor53 Yeah, Frasier's shown 2 episodes about 11:00ish last time I checked. Friends is on almost every time I've randomly turned on the TV. If not that then Scrubs or QI lol.
@raspycellist I know a few people that think it's great. I don't intend to sound pompous or snobby, but I know a lot of people that don't 'get it' usually I find it's intellectuals that go for the program, in the UK at least. I don't think it's too far fetched to say that.
@jazmella Errr ...... probably funny to Americans. To the British (and Australians and basically anyone from a Commonwealth country) its not funny at all.
Want to know why? Because 'knocked up' means EXACTLY the same in England as it does in America. So basically the writers just completely made up a situation in order to try and be funny.
Im amazed that the English actress just went along with it when she must have known it was a blatant lie.
Ha ha, settle down mate. I think that is why the joke is just that much funnier for audiences from Britain, or other countries that speak similarly. Kind of like how I will sometimes make up random stuff and my American friends will believe it because they think all Aussies are crazy like Steve Irwin.
and put the triple w before or it won't work. Also YouTube really fucks up URLs. There is an invisible character you need to delete just before the 23 in the URL and after the .html too. Then the link will work. Fuck YouTube.
@jazmella How is it funny when the english saying of 'knock me up' is exactly the same as the Americans. The only place that it means 'woke me up' is in the writers heads. Certainly none of them have ever been to England if they think thats what it means over here. Therefore its not funny at all, because they simply made up a complete situation in order to create a joke that isnt there.
I'm from Manchester and have heard the expression knock me up before. What I've never heard is an umbrella being called a bumbershoot (from a previous episode) Anyone from the UK heard this used before?
I'm from Portsmouth and I've only ever seen it used in an Archie comic (which my family would send over, you couldn't get them in the UK). I know it's an old word but I didn't think it was an English word. I've used it before though, just because it sounds funny.
haha the scopes monkey trial... the defendant was whipsawed by darrow and ended up testifying, under oath, that a whale was not a mammal and therefore, neither was he.
@threecardmontegirl No, I haven't either :) I live in Manchester now and people say simply 'knock on' meaning; I'll go and 'knock on' their door to see if they're in, but that's not really a slang term for being up the duff now is it? hehe
