You just know the teen rating is because they are chugging sherry the entire game.

It's the healing potion, for sure.

I'll drink fino from the fridge. It seemed strange that he'd sip on amontiado straight up from a decanter. I don't know a lot about wine, though.

That and some of Roz's and Martin's more colorful dialog.

Frasier: Is Dad home?

Daphne: Nope, I haven't seen him since he knocked me up early this morning.

Frasier: [putting his coat up, slows and turns.]

Frasier: What?

Daphne: Knocked me up. Woke me up. It's an English expression. What does it mean here?

Frasier: Oh, something else. You'd definitely be awake for it, though.

fun fact: this expression comes from the time before alarm clocks (or clocks in general), where towns had someone whose job it was to go round the town and knock on windows and doors in the morning, waking people up. Knocker-uppers.

They would also wait for the men to leave for work and then attempt to seduce the women who stayed behind. It lead to a lot of contention from the resultant pregnancies. This angered a lot of men and women who left for the new world. This is why Americans use the phase to mean something related but functionally different. I made all of that up, but thank you for citing an actual historical fact that added context to my previous comment.

I thought maybe it had to do with the racy theme song about “tossing salads” and “scrambled eggs”

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If I remember correctly, he tossed so many salads that he didn't know what to do with them afterward.

These thirty, thicc, thirsty thots thralled by thoughtful, theatrical therapist.

Is there a scene where Frasier acts a fool and then excitedly talks about how he voted for Trump?

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's not just homework disguised as a game, like Mario Is Missing, is it? 🤔

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

I was an elementary school kid, having a meltdown at my uncle for not getting me Mario Is Missing at Blockbuster. I was crushing a bunch of Mario games thanks to Super Mario All-star + Mario World, and even SM games on the Gameboy.

I think in college, I finally got a chance to play Mario Is Missing.

Yeah, he made the right choice.

You need the right combo of witty bôn mots to defeat the final boss, Maris.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

You also have to have Donny and Daphne in your party to defeat Maris, but you must sacrifice one to win the battle. The one you sacrifice becomes the next boss. In the end, I think the true final boss should be Frasier himself as his own worst enemy.

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I bet they'd do it BattleToads style where you're fighting Maris from Maris' perspective.

Would have been a lot more convincing if the screenshots looked like an actual GameBoy game, rather than images indexed to 4 shades of green in Photoshop.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Yup, resolution is also way too high

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Now I want to see someone actually make a game like this.

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Here's my pitch: The story and aesthetic of Fraiser, the gameplay of FEAR.

Alternatively, Dark Souls gameplay. The surprise disasters would vibe well with sitcom tropes.

[–] edg@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I'd play the hell out of this

[–] kruhmaster@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why did you have to say it was a joke? It's much funnier when you don't and people scramble to make sense of it 😂

I've posted things like that before and it seems to make some people mad, lol

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

this is outstanding. the cyberfrunk 2077 video was even better

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It’s without a doubt the best channel on YouTube.

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Man, we've really come far since the 90s haven't we?
