Actually, I think it's from "A Christmas Story".

I'm 100% sure it was from the rug rats. I think it was when the Carmine's (Or Carmichaels?) moved in (or out was it?). As you can see, my memory isn't good with the name, but I am 100 % sure it was from rug rats. The guy tries to read fragile, and pronounces it fra-geel-ey, and drops the box with glass in it.

LOL.. Indeed. But... It's from "A Christmas Story". 😉

Not sure if that was the first movie that had the joke in it, but I'm pretty sure it dates Rug Rats.😛

Hrmmm. I dunno. All I know is I heard it in Rug Rats, and it is one of the few things that has stuck in my head for that long of a time.

Yeah. I just mean.. the movie "A Christmas Story" has a similar scene(when he gets the hideous leg-lamp that he won), and the movie is older than RR, and pretty damn well known, so.. ya know.. lol

I'm sure it's a classic comic scene thats been used in quite a few things.

I never saw "A Christmas Story" or if I did I don't remember 😱.

One of the funniest movies evar! 🙂

BTW- for those that want to relive part of the movie: Leglamp.com
 
hey wait, why are you (edit: for clarification, by "you" I mean "crazymofo") arguing with a 13-year-old? screw (edit: used under the connotation of "ignore") him!

I'm 17, thank you very much. I doubt there is one person here, who if Rug Rats was on TV when they were younger, didn't watch it.

I thought you were calling me a 13 year old because I used to watch Rug Rats. Whoops then, sorry.

Ahh, he changed what it originally said (it didn't mention said 13 year old before). Sorry for the confusion.

In all seriousness, I pronounce it something like this: frA'-gil (using whatever notation you used).

HaH, I think the direct quote was "Hey Frank, what's fra-geel-ay mean?"
