      Niles was a lot funnier before the writers gave him love interests. After that, the writers weren't writing for David Hyde Pierce's natural exquisite comedic abilities. They were writing for the producers. The character of Niles got loused up because none of the many writers they brought in over the years had sense enough to know Hyde-Pierce was awkward when put in romantic heterosexual situations. David never had believable on-screen chemistry with any of the girlfriends they gave Niles. If they'd have left all of his girlfriends invisible like they did with Maris, the continuity of character would have spanned the entire series. Niles was so much more lovable as an OCD married bachelor.

      That's actually why DHP got the role. Originally Frasier was supposed to be an only child but DHP looked so much like a younger Kelsey Grammer that they wrote the part of Niles specifically for him.
      They even make a note of this in the episode where Sam, from Cheers, shows up. He looks at Niles and says, "he looks just like you before you started spending so much time at the bar. What happened to you?"

      I’m gay, a situation my mother (of blessed memory) was never comfortable with. However, whenever I told her I was dating a new guy, her first question was always…. “Is it too much to ask wether or not he’s a good Jewish boy?” The time I told her I was dating a black Jewish lawyer she said, “Oy-vey! I suppose I should be happy. At least he’s Jewish. I don’t want to sound prejudiced, but do you really HAVE to date…. a lawyer(!)”

      @@stereomois Niles is just throwing around random Jewish sayings, they mean something individually, but make no sense in context when said together in succession.
      "LeChaim" means Cheers, to good Life
      "Mazal Tov" means Congratulations, a blessing for good fortune
      "Next Year in Jerusalem" evokes a common theme in Jewish culture of a desire to return to a rebuilt Jerusalem, and commentators have suggested that it serves as a reminder of the experience of living in exile. Usually said during Passover.
