** Frasier once made a joke that between being Jewish on Lilith's side and inheriting his father's athletic talent, "the NFL wasn't holding its breath." Now Freddy is a very fit firefighter.

Trope misuse. Not about a character being savvy.


* GenreSavvy: Freddy is never the least bit surprised by any of Frasier's antics.
--> '''Freddy''': So of course you're going to accept your setback with grace and try again next year. I'm kidding of course! Tell me your stupid plan.

* SameCharacterButDifferent: Freddy and David were a teenager and a newborn when the original series ended, so it's no surprise that they are very different twenty years later, they're even played by [[TheOtherDarrin new actors]].

** Niles was worried that David would grow up to be like [[LowerClassLout Daphne's brothers]] because when he tried to play classical music for him, the baby would kick the music player off of Daphne's belly, and her water broke the instant Niles said the phrase "open bar". Clearly, Niles had nothing to worry about.

Eventually he gives up, snaps his baton, and the recording resumes as per usual.]]

** While discussing the Cheers bar with Alan in “The Founders’ Society”, Alan casually asks, “and nobody knew your name?” This, of course, alludes to that series’ famous theme song.
