Fave Martin quote?

Discussion of all things 'Frasier' - the episodes, the actors and other 'Frasier'-related topics.

This is so random but it cracks me up every time:

"I would kinda miss it when Jimmy brings out the big ham."

There's something about the way he says it that always makes me laugh!

Right now, my favorite Martin quote is pretty much everything he says when Niles is taping him for future Crane generations to enjoy.

The whole thing about being buried and having a million dollars stashed away damn near made me wet myself.

"Trapppppped, in a box, underground!" What episode was that again?

Almost as funny... When Daphne thinks he's going to church because he's dying, and he laughs out loud at that. Daphne, upsets, "Why are you laughing?!" Martin: "Because it's funny!" Daphne: "No, it's not!!" Martin, still laughing: "Are you kidding?! (chokes self) 'EUUUUGH - I'm dying, I'm dying!'"

I loved the one in "The show where Lilith comes back" when Lilith asks, if they would amuse themselves of her and Martin says: "Not much!" Or the one where Martin talks about how nice kids could be to each other...

One of my two favourite Martin quotes are from S7 A Tsar Is Born:

The one where he says I think its the swans I miss most always cracks me up!!

The other one is where he is talking about Duke, and he says to Niles and Frasier Well, Im off to see Duke, but dont get excited hes not a real Duke!

classic! :D

I like this one, from SBSB, when Niles is telling Martin that he and Mel just eloped.

Niles: I'm positively delirious!

Martin: You'd have to be, wouldn't you?

Niles: "Then what's a frigate?"

Marty: "That's when you just don't give a damm."

Not really a quote, but the look on Martin's face in this scene from A Tsar Is Born...

(Frasier: Are you talking about "The Antiques Roadshow?
Martin: Yeah.
Frasier: Well, that's the programme Niles and I are going to watch!)

The look he gives them after Frasier says that is just hilarious! :lol:

I like it when Niles announces he just married Mel and Niles says he's still feeling delirious and Martin says "You'd have to be wouldn't you?"

"Aw, Frisco was a bust! All our watering holes are gone, the steak house was a sushi bar, and this morning Duke and I went out for a walk. We passed City Hall, and there's this big crowd, kinda like a pep rally or something. So, we joined them. Well, some official guy up front says something that we didn't hear and the next thing you know, everybody's throwing rice and all the men are kissing each other and all the women are kissing each other, and I'm not sure but I think Duke and I may be married."

Marty: "Pretentious."

Frasier: "I've already got pretentious written down, Dad."

Marty: "Underline it."

I'm noticing John Mahoney's deliveries more this time round...like one line when he asks Niles about Maris "You really love her don't you?" and Niles says yes and why, I think and Marty says something..."It just helps to know."

I've been watching the Frasier DVDs and Marty has so many great lines, but I love this one...

"I gotta tell ya, it was no fun going to the morgue after that..."

:lol:

And the tag scene on the end of that Moon Dance episode with Eddie and the banana toys. I love how he even had a flash card to try and teach Eddie! :o

I apologize in advance, because I started my own "favorite martin quotes" page, not realizing there was one already. Sorry about that. Here are my favorites....

1.) When he uses Niles' spa treatment stuff and says, "I scratched my chin and my eyelid closed."

2.) When Daphne was dating the replica of Niles, and upon Duke calling, Martin tells him, "I can't talk right now, Duke. I'm in the Twilight Zone."

3.) When his chair accidentally falls off the balcony (from having the carpet re-done) and he's accusing Frasier, saying something like, "You took my chair and heeeeeaved it off the balcony!" I also like, in a later scene, at the cafe, when he tells Frasier that he wanted to take Eddie with him so that Frasier wouldn't set him on fire and heave him off the balcony!
