  • OWNED!

    Haha! amazing, love frasier

  • This joke is, of course, a direct plagiarism of Oscar Levant (who crafted it in the 1930s, using the two largest telescopes of the day in place of the electron microscope).

    It is a classic - but definitely not original to the Frasier writers.

  • That has got to be the ultimate "Shut up. Sit down" one line.

  • @scrambledpenis - Right - which is why you took the time to reply. Those who 'do not care' simply do not respond, dear. But thanks for serving as a visual aid for the term 'moron'.

  • @PeterFormaini oh my god shut up! no one freaking cares!

  • @Bikerboy1137 - I don;t disagree - but the writers definitely knew the joke was a complete steal. After all, 3 sentences later, Frasier USES the name of the person who first used it!!! :D :D Certainly a signal to those who know that they were perfectly well aware where the joke came from - and were, in a 'backwards' sort of way, acknowledging that they knew it. :D :D Hey - I have used the joke several times in my life. One of my favorites!!!

  • @PeterFormaini it is a possibility that they were not even aware of it being 60 years before their time.. but plagiarism or not, it's an incredibly well-written joke.

  • I adapted this joke to complain about my neighbour...From the Black Forest, Germany comes the famous Cuckoo Clock, pendulum-regulated, that strikes with a sound like a cuckoo bird's call and typically has a mechanical cuckoo that opens its door and emerges with each note at each quarter hour... that's 96 times a day! If I had one of these clocks right now, this bird would still not be able to beat the number of times my neighbour comes in and out of the apartment!

  • It always gives me joy when I have occasion to use this line on unsuspecting whiners.

  • wow my fav quote from frasier.
