Dead Men Don't Throw Rice is one of my favourite episodes solely for the bit at the end where Dief licks Fraser's face. In my personal canon, Ray drags Dief off Fraser and says "Get in line, wolf," before kissing Fraser himself. But maybe that's just me.
I second the comments above about the name things happening more often on TV. I think on dS it's partly done for comedy. Wodehouse does this in the Jeeves & Wooster books; "I say, Jeeves," "Really, Jeeves," "Well I never, Jeeves," etc.
I think I'm also more inclined to use someone's name when I'm making a point or trying to stress what I'm saying. In canon, we see fewer of the "Hey, can you pick up some milk?" lines and more of the "Fraser, the building's about to blow up!" lines. Which is maybe why in context it seems less weird.
