A flub from Frasier that results in a brilliant scene between him and Niles, this scene sees the two brothers talking about how picky Frasier is with women, at which point he calls himself: "Fault-finding, flaw-fleeing Flasier."

Without missing a beat Niles calls him out on the error, which Frasier then denies and leads into a classic bit of squabbling between the two. Kelsey Grammar completely messed up his original line - he was indeed supposed to say Frasier - before David Hyde Pierce quickly ad-libbed the response, and the result was so good that they had to keep it in.
