There's an expression--"the cobbler's children are barefoot". Basically when people have the skills and talent to help others, they often have a hard time helping themselves or those closest to them.
I also recommend 'yes minister' and 'yes prime minister'. Classic British political comedy with writing on a level which simply doesn't exist any more.
Yeah the show is amazing! Remember bits of it from childhood, but but was not until I became an adult I could understand and enjoy the storylines and humour
@@anyam9330 same here. I watch at least one episode every morning nowadays. And there are Lots of seasons to gobble up. Still on season 1, but seeing the quality of the show, it seems to be promising me a unique show full of great humour.
He has said his idol is Buster Keaton. Keaton would be proud. David Hyde Pierce looks a bit like him but look closer--he imitates Keaton's expressions and manneerisms.
Niles Crane was one of TV’s funniest characters ever and David Hyde Pierce played him to perfection. His timing, delivery, physical comedy, facial expressions, wit and improv skills; he had the complete package. I can think of absolutely nobody that could have played Niles Crane except for David Hyde Pierce.
A few months ago i was drinking wine and laughing my ass off to frasier. I told my friend this and he then asked me, "how old are you? 40?" Im 24 and this is the best sitcom of the 90s/early 00s.
@Aldo Montufar, so am I. I watched the last couple of seasons while it was still airing, but, being so young when it ended, I didn't entirely get some of the jokes. Now watching the episodes back (particularly the early ones that reference Maris and Lilith more) I am often in constant laughter. It was great to see a sitcom that, through brilliant writing, did exactly that - made fun of some quite relatable situations. Also, it showed people that intellectual could be funny, without having to explain every joke. Brilliant.
What a mood. I'm in my early 20s and have always loved Fraiser. It was one of the few "adult" shows my parents let me watch as a child. Never let me watch everyone loves raymond or the nanny but I was allowed to watch fraiser because they argued the jokes were too far beyond a child's brain I'd imagine😅
The creators explained that most sitcoms had very short scenes. So they decided to make Frasier scenes longer with lots of dialogue. One of the reasons they hired Pamela Fryman as a director is because she comes from the theatre world.
Yeah,I also didn't realize how much theatrical & physical movement it was in Playing Nile's character.. Love all his scenes fantastic!!! Love it when he's under the Piano & he says (I guess your vacuum doesn't come with attachments) Absolutely hysterical
Gifs more like it. Some suggestions: Niles sitting on Frasier's shoulders, Niles running into the kitchen during his singles party, the fainting while ironing...
It was the episode in the final season when Frasier stole his neighbor's Olympic medal. The neighbor, Opal, was going on and on about how predictable Frasier was. He recruited Niles to help him return the medal without Opal finding out. The episode is called Coots and Ladders.
All of the Crane family are moods, but all in completely different ways. Personally, I’m the most like Frasier, as i’m an older sibling who always ends up in awkward situations, is horribly misunderstood, & tends to word things poorly.
I always felt like part of the reason Frasier had such rotten luck with maintaining long term romance was because he never seemed to date in his age group. As a 40s and then 50s something he was dating sexy 30-something women. Which is all very well and good but he would have related and lasted longer (in my opinion) with a slightly older partner. I wanted him to be happy with someone and stay with someone at the end so bad, or even get back with Lilith but it never happened 😭😢
Grace Haven I felt he was ok with Roz. I'm kinda conflicted because of their friendship but still, great friends sometimes make for great relationships irl.
The core cast of Frasier (Grammer, Pierce, Mahoney, Leeves and Gilpin) was perfect, no weak links. I never understood why Peri Gilpin (Roz) never received any Emmy nominations when the other four all did at one time or another. She was no less talented than anyone else on the show.
I agree. She really was a great actress and knew how to deliver her lines. She had the character polished to perfection and made me laugh as hard as the rest of them. She really deserved her own Emmy!!!!!
I like the Valentines episode where he was ironing his pants and passed out from cutting his finger from site of blood. That was funny how he kept messing up
DHP - a true powerhouse. Easily the greatest supporting comedic actor in TV history. All the cast was top shelf. Brilliantly written. Have not watched TV since the show ended.
I keep watching from the beginning on Netflix..love it so much! The whole cast =amazing! Was fun to see Edward Hibbert (Gil Chesterson) in Grace and Frankie in full leatherboy persona!
💕💕💕💕💕💕 This is the 1st time Frasier has come up in my CZcams suggestions. Frasier is a show I watch for comfort. It calms me down. I’ve probably seen the whole series like 50x.
The way Niles could go from ice cold and deadpan with his witty insults to having the most melodramatic nervous breakdown ever in the span of a couple scenes really made him the standout of the show for my two cents, and on this show, that's saying a lot. The core cast of Frasier bounced off of each other and came together to make every joke (as well as every more serious scene) work so flawlessly in a way that has never been done by any show before or since. They're all irreplaceable. That's why I really don't see the point of making a continuation now that John Mahoney is no longer with us. Take away Martin's gruff, straightforward, no-nonsense everyman from the dynamic and you lose so much of what made it so great.
God, DHP was brilliant with physical comedy. That Valentine’s Day episode where he set the couch on fire left me hysterically laughing and gasping for air the first time I saw it, and not a single word spoken. He reminded me so much of Lucille Ball in “I Love Lucy”, the way she could have you laughing from her antics alone. What a brilliant show.
I simply adore this show. I never watched in when it was on because I hate sit coms. But one day many years ago, for some reason I stumbled onto it, sat through it and fell completely in love. Niles is my favorite character---his physical humor is beyond anyone I've ever seen. The writing, the actors, all so perfect. I watch an episode every day and when I get to the end of the series I just start over again. What we've found is that nearly situation in our own lives can be compared to a Frasier episode. It's funny, smart and intelligently written and doesn't talk down to the audience or use toilet humor to get laughs (well, except for the episode with the Creasel brother fixing the plumbing, lol). Farfegnugen!
@@wendyshell8679 Me too - I previously told of going through a very bad family experience and because of that I could not longer read or watch regular TV. My concentration was gone so I started watching Frasier and it was great to watch an episode and not have to worry and instead just laugh for a half hour and forget my worries. I've seen it so often I could probably get an A in any test on it.
I love him so very much. Its odd how they make it seem in early episodes a complete newbie in the kitchen, yet later on both brothers are portrayed as gourmets in the kitchen. Niles references having "The same set of crepe pans since the 9th grade" lol. Great show no matter what.
Have to agree with the best physical comedian comments here. Some of the falls he takes were great. Remember the episode when Frasier throws the guy out of the coffee shop and they confront him and Niles stands up to him and allows him to push him down and takes the fall onto the table? Cracks me up every time.
Yes!! And Kelsey let him without getting jealous and arranging for him to be removed from the show. A true artist knows how to let others shine for the greater good.
*Frasier is the funniest TV sitcom ever conceived by man.* No other series has ever been more consistently funny over a decade since and by the gods, this still has me in stitches to this day. Which is why I'm baffled that I don't hear people talking more about it. Also, *David Hyde-Pierce as Niles* is one of *the greatest comedy performances* I've ever seen. 'Nuff said.
Frasier was a lucky casting case well done. Kelsey Grammer greatly influenced this. For example, since the series was designed, he insisted that John Mahoney play the role of his father. In fact, he went so far as to say that if John Mahoney didn't accept, he simply wouldn't do the series. Grammer visited Mahoney several times and finally convinced him. Mahoney hesitated to accept because he was acting on Broadway, and accepting Frasier made it difficult for him to move to California and leave the theater. That was the case for Bebe Neuwirth, who was also invited to regularly play the role of Lilith. But she chose to stay on Broadway and just make special appearances. David's case was almost magical. A year or two before Frasier was created, an agent found a photograph of him and was struck by his resemblance to Grammer. "It would be nice to call him in case we ever need a replacement or a brother for Kelsey," she said jokingly. When the creative team was working on designing Frasier, someone remembered that photograph. They decided to call Hyde Pierce. The surprise was to find that this great actor turned out to be a great comedian, with superlative charisma and charm, but also humble, a good partner and a hard worker. A curious fact is that the original idea was to focus the stories more on the radio station (in the manner of Wings or Cheers) and to leave Frasier's personal life in the background. In that scenario, Roz would have had a much more important role, as Frasier's counterpart. But with Hyde Pierce and Mahoney, things changed. Soon, those portentous actors caught a lot of attention. The result was that writers were much more likely to create situations around Martin, Niles, and of course Daphne. The result was a complete team. An enormous merit of Grammer was that he had had enough humility and intelligence to realize that he should not be the center of everything, and he knew how to give place to each of his colleagues. In many chapters, he acted as a troupe for the showcasing of Hyde Pierce. That is not easy. Let's look at the case of Fran Drescher, who had his own Niles, but who did not shine. Another case is that of Jim Belushi, who insisted on always being the only funny one. In short, the success of Frasier (and Hyde Pierce) was due to the conjunction of talents (including producers and writers) and a great job team up.
6:28 some act of professional swordsmanship there Dr. Niles Crane yet one of the funniest acts of professional swordsmanship to be sure. A surprise, to be sure, but a a welcome one.
I loved this show!!! “Niles” & “Frasier” we’re Comic Geniuses together. They complimented each other so well. “Marty” was perfect for the father too. Such a shame his passing.
Hands down: best Niles scene is the valentine’s episode. It never ceases to amaze me how one character can have no words for 10 minutes and still be endlessly hilarious.
I love Niles. My mother went to a doctor once who was Niles’ doppelgänger. He even had the same shoes. He was so obsessed with himself I wanted to laugh in his face.
People saying this shows underrated, remember it is widely considered the greatest show of all time. Bar none. The most awarded and praised tv show according to the emmys. Its just simply genius. It takes over peoples hearts and you truly love the characters. This is my favorite show of all time, but I wouldn’t say it’s underrated.
It's not remembered like Seinfeld or Friends. Younger generations barely know what Frasier is. It's pretty underrated right now. It was like it won all those awards, and then people forgot.
I didn’t appreciate this show when it was on. I was just too young to pick up on some of the subtle details that made this show great. I also didn’t understand just how impressive the writers were. The joke that will always stand out to me as the best joke in the entire series, was when Niles said he was writing a piece on a narcissistic opera singer. The title, “mememememememe” My god, I love that joke. And Niles is the star of the show as far as I’m concerned.
I'm 17 and I try to get young people interested in Frasier but they always say it's boring or stupid. And I try to tell them about the amazing ensemble writers and they think I'm crazy for even caring about who the writers are.
soft hearts, electric souls that’s really unfortunate. I’m 30 now, it I was just a kid when Frasier was on NBC. My parents watched it, and I enjoyed Martin and Niles, but thought the show was boring. As I grew up, my feelings on it changed from watching reruns. Then when it got put on Netflix, I dove right in because of the large amount of content. Now I’ve watched and rewatched the entire series 2, maybe 3 times. Sooooo many good episodes. And the writers are phenomenal. Every time I go back through and rewatch episodes, I pick up some subtle nuance that I had never noticed before.
I always admire Niles for being able to act like a complete lunatic in front of his crush. I get so ashamed of acting emotional even in front of my immediate family I bottle up my insecurities and become an unhealthy block of stone for months before it all explodes out again. Maybe I need to see a therapist...

I like to think that Niles would look askance at such an expression.

Like most shrinks I ever met

I love how Niles is so unstable even though he's a therapist
There's an expression--"the cobbler's children are barefoot". Basically when people have the skills and talent to help others, they often have a hard time helping themselves or those closest to them.
you should talk to some doctors about their health
It's even funnier because he's a marriage and relationship therapist and his marriage to Maris failed spectacularly.
Perfect irony
He also has extreme OCD. Go figure.
You don’t understand how happy I am to find other people that even know what Frasier is
I thought I was the only one still watching it
Still watch every night. Shows today not funny!!!!
me and my mom watch it every night and I sware to god I've watched it over 6 times
I also recommend 'yes minister' and 'yes prime minister'. Classic British political comedy with writing on a level which simply doesn't exist any more.
I absolutely love this show and NOBODY ELSE I KNOW WATCHES IT!!!
Finally, other young adults who like this show as much as i do!
Yeah the show is amazing! Remember bits of it from childhood, but but was not until I became an adult I could understand and enjoy the storylines and humour

Easily one of the most underrated physical comedians of all time
When this show first ran, it was a big hit and David Hyde-Pierce was not underrated. He and the show won many awards and accolades.
Why do you kids think that just because you're not familiar with something, it's underrated? By you, perhaps.
He has said his idol is Buster Keaton. Keaton would be proud. David Hyde Pierce looks a bit like him but look closer--he imitates Keaton's expressions and manneerisms.
His segment of the Valentines Day episode was brilliant. Hardly a word spoken. Reduces me to tears of laughter every single time.
Impeccable writing, brilliant delivery, & unparalleled, modern slapstick comedy... This show was so underrated.
So underrated that it only won 37 Emmy awards including Outstanding Comedy Series for five years in a row.
Underrated? EVERYONE loved it! Everyone STILL loves it!
How can you say the most successful spinoff ever is underrated??
it wasn't underrated at the time! Maybe these days kids don't know about it, but it was certainly a treasured show for many years...
Such a shame that the later seasons were worse....
Niles was literally the funniest on the show! He was cute too 😂
One of the most adorable male characters I've ever seen.
Love him but sorry Frasier was the star
I had a huge crush on him lol
Niles and Roz were my favorite characters of the show and Bull Dog.
Adorable.

There were a lot of good sitcoms. Frasier is good but Mad About You is amazing and Coupling is the epitome of comedy.
Ive been watching it since I was 7 so don’t feel bad. You just have refined taste!
Never noticed just how theatrical Frasier was, makes sense considering the Actors' backgrounds, it really is like a play filmed for TV
Every scene is a classic farce.... Genius

This is too smart for dumb memes

Ditto !

All the way to the silently laughing but actually not breathing bit 😅
If I’d known him, I would’ve recommended Klonopin 😂
I would like to propose that Marty Crane is also a mood
Absolutely, grumpy old geezer was hilarious
All of the Crane family are moods, but all in completely different ways. Personally, I’m the most like Frasier, as i’m an older sibling who always ends up in awkward situations, is horribly misunderstood, & tends to word things poorly.
I'm kinda like Niles,tall and clumsy and the most nervous person imaginable most of the time
If they still made sitcoms like this, I might actually watch TV every now and then
Yup!👍
The only time I watch TV is when I'm watching reruns lol. TVland & Hallmark never disappoint!
There's always re runs....

On Cheers it sort of reminded you of The Brain from Pinky and The Brain lol🐭
I loved his hair
Residual 80s
Niles...Easily a top 5 of all time TV character.
Yep! But somehow he never made the show about him. Absolutely brilliant.
Who are the other 4?
Niles and Eddie was the funny ones
Frank Barone and George Costanza HAVE to be on this list, as well. Dr. Perry Cox, as well. Archie Bunker for the win?
Erik Cnating
Hell yeah George Costanza
Easily MY favorite Sitcom character of all time
“The sea was angry that day my friends”
David Hyde Pearce may be the greatest physical comedian who's ever lived!
Agreed!
John Ritter did a lot of physical comedy. Check it out...... Three's Company.
Michael Richards was awfully good too.
They should have done a spin-off with him.
I think he's taken some inspiration from John cleese also

DoctorInk20 Thank you for speaking the truth
@@dysenteryworld I say it how it is. 😁 No prob.
*IF I COULD TAKE DEEP BREATHS IT WOULD MEAN I COULD BREATHE!*
Literally the best show ever written 💕
I never hear anyone talk about this show and it stressed me out because this is one of my favourite shows and it's so underrated
this show is so underrated omg
No, it was praised & got a lot of prices.
I think it's still the #1 sitcom
It was not underrated in the 1990s. It was a huge hit and won many awards. I've watched most episodes several times since then and I still laugh.
Niles has always been my favorite!! So funny & lovable
Frasier was a lucky casting case well done. Kelsey Grammer greatly influenced this. For example, since the series was designed, he insisted that John Mahoney play the role of his father. In fact, he went so far as to say that if John Mahoney didn't accept, he simply wouldn't do the series. Grammer visited Mahoney several times and finally convinced him. Mahoney hesitated to accept because he was acting on Broadway, and accepting Frasier made it difficult for him to move to California and leave the theater. That was the case for Bebe Neuwirth, who was also invited to regularly play the role of Lilith. But she chose to stay on Broadway and just make special appearances. David's case was almost magical. A year or two before Frasier was created, an agent found a photograph of him and was struck by his resemblance to Grammer. "It would be nice to call him in case we ever need a replacement or a brother for Kelsey," she said jokingly. When the creative team was working on designing Frasier, someone remembered that photograph. They decided to call Hyde Pierce. The surprise was to find that this great actor turned out to be a great comedian, with superlative charisma and charm, but also humble, a good partner and a hard worker. A curious fact is that the original idea was to focus the stories more on the radio station (in the manner of Wings or Cheers) and to leave Frasier's personal life in the background. In that scenario, Roz would have had a much more important role, as Frasier's counterpart. But with Hyde Pierce and Mahoney, things changed. Soon, those portentous actors caught a lot of attention. The result was that writers were much more likely to create situations around Martin, Niles, and of course Daphne. The result was a complete team. An enormous merit of Grammer was that he had had enough humility and intelligence to realize that he should not be the center of everything, and he knew how to give place to each of his colleagues. In many chapters, he acted as a troupe for the showcasing of Hyde Pierce. That is not easy. Let's look at the case of Fran Drescher, who had his own Niles, but who did not shine. Another case is that of Jim Belushi, who insisted on always being the only funny one. In short, the success of Frasier (and Hyde Pierce) was due to the conjunction of talents (including producers and writers) and a great job team up.
*snrrrk* Some classic Niles moments to be sure. And the piano bit especially is a mood.
This show is underrated. I loved it so much, it never failed to make me laugh or cry
I've watched this series over 70 times on Netflix I actually have episodes downloaded for plane trips during the season
Niles was the funniest character on that program. David Hyde Pierce is an excellent physical comedic actor!
.
I’ve started watching Frasier on tv with all the stress and anxiety in the world. For me this is the most brilliant and hilarious TV show ever made.
AHHH I LOVE THIS SHOW AND YES WE LOVE NILESSS
6:28 some act of professional swordsmanship there Dr. Niles Crane yet one of the funniest acts of professional swordsmanship to be sure. A surprise, to be sure, but a a welcome one.
Me: sees Frasier video and clicks*
Me: sees 800 comments
Also me :... I've found my people.
I loved this show!!! “Niles” & “Frasier” we’re Comic Geniuses together. They complimented each other so well. “Marty” was perfect for the father too. Such a shame his passing.
omg niles is the most relatable character on Fraiser!
Hands down: best Niles scene is the valentine’s episode. It never ceases to amaze me how one character can have no words for 10 minutes and still be endlessly hilarious.
Who else misses this show?
Literally the best 90s sitcom
Niles is that squirrel from Ice Age, but with way more attitude 😂
Oh my God :D
I love Niles. My mother went to a doctor once who was Niles’ doppelgänger. He even had the same shoes. He was so obsessed with himself I wanted to laugh in his face.
That's pretty much Niles to a T
My all time favorite show. I watch it every night for 3 hours. Can't get enough!
Niles is my absolute favorite
Best spinoff ever.
The physical comedy is great!
That second clip was so sweet, how Frasier and Martin were just automatically there for Niles :)
"Oh alright, punish a man for being fine-boned..." 😂😂😂
People saying this shows underrated, remember it is widely considered the greatest show of all time. Bar none. The most awarded and praised tv show according to the emmys. Its just simply genius. It takes over peoples hearts and you truly love the characters. This is my favorite show of all time, but I wouldn’t say it’s underrated.
It's not remembered like Seinfeld or Friends. Younger generations barely know what Frasier is. It's pretty underrated right now. It was like it won all those awards, and then people forgot.
soft hearts, electric souls
Seinfeld is still great though
@@dysenteryworldit's not very accessible to a really young audience, it's too smart 😂
Niles is my favorite character!! ❤️
thank you, i feel like i was born for this video 💕
This show was brilliant
This show is so underrated. I watch it every week and it is probably the best sitcom ever
Ahh such a great physical actor
I didn’t appreciate this show when it was on. I was just too young to pick up on some of the subtle details that made this show great. I also didn’t understand just how impressive the writers were.
The joke that will always stand out to me as the best joke in the entire series, was when Niles said he was writing a piece on a narcissistic opera singer. The title, “mememememememe”
My god, I love that joke.
And Niles is the star of the show as far as I’m concerned.
I'm 17 and I try to get young people interested in Frasier but they always say it's boring or stupid. And I try to tell them about the amazing ensemble writers and they think I'm crazy for even caring about who the writers are.
soft hearts, electric souls that’s really unfortunate. I’m 30 now, it I was just a kid when Frasier was on NBC. My parents watched it, and I enjoyed Martin and Niles, but thought the show was boring. As I grew up, my feelings on it
changed from watching reruns. Then when it got put on Netflix, I dove right in because of the large amount of content. Now I’ve watched and rewatched the entire series 2, maybe 3 times. Sooooo many good episodes. And the writers are phenomenal. Every time I go
back through and rewatch episodes, I pick up some subtle nuance that I had never noticed before.
I'm old enough to remember when it was still on TV... I had a crush on Niles for the longest time
The first clip of how Frasier called out Niles from the bathroom....lmao
He deserved every Emmy he won.
All 5
I'm glad the younger generation is finding this show. Such a classic ☺️
I always admire Niles for being able to act like a complete lunatic in front of his crush. I get so ashamed of acting emotional even in front of my immediate family I bottle up my insecurities and become an unhealthy block of stone for months before it all explodes out again. Maybe I need to see a therapist...
He is such a funny man, fell in love with this show, still watch all repeats
aaaaaaaaa I love Niles so much
