I watched this entire series and never noticed the Earthbound box in this episode! I love Frasier, it’s one of the wittiest and most smartly written shows.
@@SebisRandomTech NILES! Dude that show seriously sucks dude, check yourself. NILES! NILES! NILES! It's not funny. A million ways better to waste your time.
I love that my favorite game of all time, a little game I NEVER imagined anyone besides me would play back in 1995, is SO cherished that its appearance in Frasier is treated like a magnificent cameo.
Duckalie Go back and watch the first few eps with Bob! Now that I’m older and have watched Frasier I find it hilarious. There’s even a straight up send of Frasier in one ep, title card and everything.
Indeed, EarthBound is incredibly witty & smart, & it also has a heartfelt message about how powerful friendship & family are. I don’t know what Frasier would think of it, but I know that I approve.
*This was the episode in Frasier where Frasier's son Fredrick was first played by a different child actor than the one we all know. Idk what happened to him, maybe the directors, cast or producers didn't like him. Maybe the kid got sick or his parents pulled him out, but after this episode Freddy was replaced with a different child who would end up being the one they used for the entire run of the show.*
My guess is they just didn’t think the kid was right for the part. Looking at Fredrick in later episodes the kid who plays him perfectly captures the personality of a kid who likes to have fun whilst also enjoying educational stuff whilst the kid in this episode only seemed to be a regular kid with zero signs of being highly intelligent
I think it was a schedule conflict. The kid got his own show based on the Judy Blume character "Fudge" in the same year this episode aired, so he might not have been available the next time they needed him. I'm sure you'll finally be able to get some sleep now that that mystery is solved😅.
The purple boxes on the table contain decks of The Great Dalmuti, one of the best card games ever created. I've played countless hands with my friends over the last 25 years, and it never gets old.
3:36 "Niles, give the man a cheque!" LMAO, earlier in the episode, his ex-wife Maris deactivated all of his bank accounts, and Frasier used this to their advantage 😂
I am surprised that no-one seems shocked when the helmet is knocked of his head and he just leaves it there on the floor. MAN !!! Have at least the decency to put it back on the table!
I absolutely love whenever a random moment like this crops up in a show or film I'm watching. My favourite might be a billboard for 'Yakuza: Dead Souls' appearing for a fleeting second in the live-action Fairly Oddparents.
I notice a mistake in the scene... Has any one notice the production mistake? It is the green wrapping paper in the bag, you see it, then it is missing for part of the scene and then it magically Reappears again. I wonder if anyone notice that. I just watch it and noticed that. mmmmm......
@@orangecrush1208 it's when the camera cuts to Frasier and niles only. And if you look at frasiers head and you look to the left of it you'll see on the shelf in the back a copy of Earthbound
Wow, they have better and more fun toys in this show's episode than in real life! I mean would it kill toy developers to come with fun, innovative and creative toys like these for children these days?
Knowing how astonishingly stupid children are and how viciously litigious parents will get at their harm nowadays, it very may well kill their companies. I still remember those plastic Pokemon balls they used to give out at either McDonalds or BK they discontinued. The media can say what they like about video games causing violence- no 2-year old ever stuck one on his face and suffocated to death.
+PeterDivine To be fair, Pokemon is nothing more than glorified cockfighting aimed for children. But yeah, toys became less creative and less fun by the turn of the century. The '80s really had the best toys; Hell, the '90s too. Also, toys got way too expensive.
As a big fan of both Frasier & EarthBound, this made me really happy when I first saw it during my first watch of the show, as I knew prior that there was an episode with an EarthBound box in the background… Frasier should’ve gotten EarthBound for Freddy.
niles was having marital problems. maris, his rich wife, cut off his funds rendering his check worthless. alas, the joke being on the man trying to pull a fast one on a desperate frasier. the episode is called frasier grinch.
I can't help but laugh at the description: "Does EarthBound sound interesting to you?" If you don't already know about EarthBound, what the hell could this clip have possibly told you about it that would make it sound interesting?
(3:10) Niles: Ladies and gentlemen, we’re beginning our descent into the Seattle Airport. Please make sure your tray tables and seat backs are in their full upright positions-- Frasier: Oh, shut up, Niles!
Used to watch it back in the day now and again it's still alot better than most shows today.. niles reminds me of stewie from family guy 😂😂😂 clearly they got idea from him
There is Also a Super Nintendo with Donkey Kong Country bundle down the normal Super Nintendo Boxes Also i think there is one episode where Niles is playing Playstation 1 with Frederick
Every time I see this episode I watch the magic GREEN TUBE that keeps appearing & disappearing from the "Young Minds" bag. (It happens during the entire encounter...)
"He faces the summation of his darker impulses, his literal Yungian Shadow! And the entire narrative is really a metaphor for maturing and facing the challenges of life in the outside world! It's really quite profound!" "...Niles, it's about a ten-year-old beating dogs and hippies with a baseball bat. I've heard enough of _that_ from Dad's cop friends."
All this talk about bringing this back, why didn't they do it as a stage show? Set the first half in Frasiers flat, the second half in the coffee shop.
What a great find! If only Frasier knew that Earthbound would probably be a great game for Freddy to play…but Lilith would’ve been the one to actually beat it 😂😉
Obviously, he should have bought the kid Earthbound. Probably a SNES, too. That would have raised him to be a cultured intellectual. AND he'd have a valuable piece of gaming history.
Yes Bronco all us white people are rich we all drive Mercedes, sailing on yachts every weekend and we each own several mansions around the world. I'm bored, I think I'll go to Paris this week. Jeeves get my private jet ready. BTW in case you can't tell this is called sarcasm
Just think. Somewhere we might have seen that exact copy of Earthbound in this video. That would be odd but cool. Or it was in a land fill because everyone hated the game at the time.
0:27 earthbound
I just saw that, watching that episode now!
And, a few more times after this timestamp as well, especially near the end.
1:30 - "With any luck, the kind of dork who'll be operating on your prostate someday!" Seen this episode dozens of times, and it still kills me.
Instead he became a firefighter
I watched this entire series and never noticed the Earthbound box in this episode! I love Frasier, it’s one of the wittiest and most smartly written shows.

It's a sitcom. It's not smartly written LMAO.

Niles, give the man a check. Lol! Priceless!
Niles this was the idea family guy got idea for stewie character?
Niles just divorced had no money. They both knew his checks were no good.LoL
I never caught that before
Just an amazingly funny moment in the show
Don't worry, it may be useless but at least it has a stagecoach on it.
seriously, Niles looks like he is having such a fun time in the toy store. :)
That toy helmet looks so fun, Niles nailing physical comedy again! I miss Fraser so much, thank God for TH-cam!
Such a big brother moment. Let's see if it protects your head.
I like how Niles becomes a big kid 😊
"How about the woman near the cosmetics counter who tried to mace me?!" HAHA oh Niles
Lol
My father used to call the perfume department the "Chemical warfare sector"
"As much as I would like to inflict this on Lilith!..." hahaha, perfect!
I know! Utter savagery!
"Niles, Maris cancelled your account."
A minute and a half later....
"Niles, give the man a cheque."
hehe...just brilliant.
I love that my favorite game of all time, a little game I NEVER imagined anyone besides me would play back in 1995, is SO cherished that its appearance in Frasier is treated like a magnificent cameo.
FUN FACT: The mannerisms and dialects of both Frasier and Niles would inspire the creation of the voice of James from Pokemon's Team Rocket.
film017forever That... would explain a *_lot_*
Not to mention *Sideshow Bob and Cecil from "The Simpsons"* , both of whom literally were *played by the two actors themselves!*
For real? That is an interesting fact
Le Huy-Anh I cannot believe I didn’t recognize him as Bob from his voice!
Duckalie Go back and watch the first few eps with Bob! Now that I’m older and have watched Frasier I find it hilarious. There’s even a straight up send of Frasier in one ep, title card and everything.
I would go with Legos. Endless stimulation and fun for a burgeoning mind, plus the satisfaction that comes with knowing that the ex will step on them.
This is a Fraser-worthy comment, lol
Fully agreed
Savage 🤣🤣
One of my favourite TV Comedies.❤
I could watch Niles messing with Frasier with kids toys all day
*Niles:* Oh Lord, it's covered with dust.
*Frasier:* A brain, it's dusty. Huh, could there be a clearer metaphor?
The Cranes from Maine have got your Living Brain
Franklin Crane from Kennebunkport!
I love that this is here for the EarthBound.
Isn't it sad that toy stores like this don't exist anymore?
WTF are you talking about? They exist.
I live *in Canada* , where we've got *tons of old-school toy stores!*
@@Suite_annamite same in UK
How about you take a walk, there are still toy stores!!

@ LOL!!! So funny. I've seen this scene many times and I still LOL!!! … PEACE.
I love this..help me through soo many nights..
They should have bought earthbound for Frederick
I can't imagine a better gift.
I thought they were going to!
I did not understand🙃why?
Agreed. Truly a game for cultured intellectuals.
Indeed, EarthBound is incredibly witty & smart, & it also has a heartfelt message about how powerful friendship & family are. I don’t know what Frasier would think of it, but I know that I approve.
Martin got the robo thing for Frasier for Fredrick. Sweet episode.

Wondered a few times whatever happened to the original Frederick.
Even looked on Google, but no mentions.

"Niles, give the man a cheque!"
LMAO, earlier in the episode, his ex-wife Maris deactivated all of his bank accounts, and Frasier used this to their advantage 😂
He didn’t deserve more than the $300 that he got in cash!!!
Thank you for sharing these fabulous scenes from " Frasier " 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🌲🎶🎤🌨
I am surprised that no-one seems shocked when the helmet is knocked of his head and he just leaves it there on the floor. MAN !!! Have at least the decency to put it back on the table!
That helmet reminds me of something Radio Shack would’ve sold years ago!
jennifersman - Right?! I miss "Radio Shack"!!!!
I love this episode and this scene in particular! Niles does the best falling down (:58) when Frasier hits him) of anybody I've ever seen.
1:55 poor kid didn’t know what he was missing when he put the game back on the shelf.
I absolutely love whenever a random moment like this crops up in a show or film I'm watching. My favourite might be a billboard for 'Yakuza: Dead Souls' appearing for a fleeting second in the live-action Fairly Oddparents.
0:55 Niles: "I wonder what else it does!"
Fraiser: "LET'S SEE IF IT PROTECTS YORU HEAD!" *whack* 😂
That reminded me a lot like Laurel and Hardy
@@stereomois Yup, or Abbott and Costello. Or two of the Three Stooges 😂
$1,000 dollars for Chemistry Lab and puzzles... Wow that's expensive.
LOLz @ Niles give the man a cheque.
Frasier should have smacked that guy. And much harder!
I love the subtle Niles give the man a check LOL
I notice a mistake in the scene... Has any one notice the production mistake?
It is the green wrapping paper in the bag, you see it, then it is missing for part of the scene and then it magically Reappears again. I wonder if anyone notice that. I just watch it and noticed that. mmmmm......
I didn't like this show one bit when I was little, I would roll my eyes in contempt when it came on TV, now I find it rather enjoyable
I had a chemistry set it was amazing
When David Hyde Pierce puts on that silly hat, he looks like Neil Patrick Harris!
Smart, funny, still a favorite!!!
It was a cologne sample Niles, it’s what they do!
02:27 if you look to the left of Frasier you´ll see the Earthbound game
Where
@@orangecrush1208 it's when the camera cuts to Frasier and niles only. And if you look at frasiers head and you look to the left of it you'll see on the shelf in the back a copy of Earthbound
They never make shows like this anymore.
I never heard of one store closing before any of the others in a mall.
No worries. Good ole Martin got Frasier the Robo Geek and saved Christmas.
Wow, they have better and more fun toys in this show's episode than in real life! I mean would it kill toy developers to come with fun, innovative and creative toys like these for children these days?
Parents giving their kids tablets killed innovation in the toy industry. Hurray!
Knowing how astonishingly stupid children are and how viciously litigious parents will get at their harm nowadays, it very may well kill their companies. I still remember those plastic Pokemon balls they used to give out at either McDonalds or BK they discontinued.
The media can say what they like about video games causing violence- no 2-year old ever stuck one on his face and suffocated to death.
Or innovative games like earthbound

To be fair, Pokemon is nothing more than glorified cockfighting aimed for children.
But yeah, toys became less creative and less fun by the turn of the century. The '80s really had the best toys; Hell, the '90s too.
Also, toys got way too expensive.
You do realize that the toys shown in this episode exist in real life. The names are different, but you can buy all of these toys.
There’s always a nutball who inserts quotes from the clip we ALL just saw.
If only it was only one nutball.
"I know, right?"
As a big fan of both Frasier & EarthBound, this made me really happy when I first saw it during my first watch of the show, as I knew prior that there was an episode with an EarthBound box in the background… Frasier should’ve gotten EarthBound for Freddy.
Great show
niles was having marital problems. maris, his rich wife, cut off his funds rendering his check worthless. alas, the joke being on the man trying to pull a fast one on a desperate frasier.
the episode is called frasier grinch.
Until the man sues Niles for issuing a bad check.
Does this really need explained?
Yes. That was all evident from happening In The Video..
The guy still got 300 from Frasier though: three times the value of the stuff in the bag. So maybe he wasn't too upset when the check bounced.
I wonder why they put Earthbound in this scene? Did they just get random games for the set or did they specifically choose Earthbound for it?
That would be cool lol
LMAO I just saw this last night and was on the floor laughing at Niles with the helmet
Loved this show
I can't help but laugh at the description: "Does EarthBound sound interesting to you?" If you don't already know about EarthBound, what the hell could this clip have possibly told you about it that would make it sound interesting?
Love this episode
0:57. _"Let's see if it protects your head!"_ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I also see a Virtual Noy box, and it’s on screen more frequently than Earthbound.
*ha* I can just imagine the glee in the prop dept to put together that helmet.
The wrapping paper in the bag keeps appearing and disappearing.
(3:10) Niles: Ladies and gentlemen, we’re beginning our descent into the Seattle Airport. Please make sure your tray tables and seat backs are in their full upright positions--
Frasier: Oh, shut up, Niles!
I wonder what ever happened to that copy of Earthbound ?
for you
Was it so hard for Niles to get a fun gift and Frasier an educational one.
Never seen this show but at least they have earthbound
Used to watch it back in the day now and again it's still alot better than most shows today.. niles reminds me of stewie from family guy 😂😂😂 clearly they got idea from him

I believe that David Hyde Pierce (actor who portrays Niles) was the original voice actor of Stewie in the earlier seasons.
Oh baby I hear the

's a callin'.
It’s like seeing yourself in the background of a movie.
Wow this is amazing!!!
I've watched this 5 times ...where the heck is an earthbound box/cover/game???
0:52 above the guy with the brown jacket
👍💖 ...And Merry Christmas 🎄
At 1:55 some idiot puts Earthbound back on the shelf. (I guess we can hope it's just a re-stock.)
We can thank that idiot for Earthbound underperforming in the West.
sixtyfps Sly .7ck.
What went wrong? The Driveway?
sixtyfps that was everyone who thought of earthbound in 1995. “RPG? Fuck that shit...”
Hi
@@xXSpongeBroBrownPantzXx that's not why people didn't play earthbound
There is Also a Super Nintendo with Donkey Kong Country bundle down the normal Super Nintendo Boxes
Also i think there is one episode where Niles is playing Playstation 1 with Frederick
Frasier is either perturbed about something or yelling.....
Every time I see this episode I watch the magic GREEN TUBE that keeps appearing & disappearing from the "Young Minds" bag. (It happens during the entire encounter...)
I also just notice the roll of green wrapping paper in the bag, now you see it now you don't, now you see it now you don't. 🤔🤔
Awesome. Seen this many times but missed that.
and all the kids wanted an Outlaw Laser Robo-Geek... which sounds like it could be an Earthbound boss.
*LET'S SEE IF IT PROTECTS YOUR HEAD*
You guys really need this stuff don't you? Gosh no one responds that way, its always "Ahh I dunno, maybe"
God bless you!!
Is that a Virtual Boy at 1:50?
LOL 'as long as I would love to inflict this on Lilith!'

Niles could have been a flight attendant
All this talk about bringing this back, why didn't they do it as a stage show? Set the first half in Frasiers flat, the second half in the coffee shop.
they’re definitely brothers
Anybody know the name of that helmet and where to find it?
hope that check he wrote didnt have niles's current address on it
love this episode. i was actually more excited about seeing doctor dreadful boxes
What a great find! If only Frasier knew that Earthbound would probably be a great game for Freddy to play…but Lilith would’ve been the one to actually beat it 😂😉
