One of the GREATEST Frasier scenes of all time! Also one of the greatest tv moments period! What's so great about Frasier and why he's lasted 20 years and still going on in reruns today is that he's a character that's so hilariously pompous but not a true snob, a tad prideful and boastful but not arrogant, egotistical at times but always means well and genuinely cares about people, especially his family and friends. Kelsey deserved every emmy he won for this brilliant and layered character!
I love it when Martin is like "You need something simple, something that you can whistle. I tried whistling that thing you wrote and I got light headed!"
To be fair, if I was station manager, I would have approved this right off the cuff. It probably would have been a tad expensive but the tune does have a lasting effect! Frasier was definitely on to something here!
Holy toledo - i thought of Gilbert and Sullivan right off! yup! whoever composed and arranged the music, and whoever wrote the libretto for this one, each is a genius!! 😸🌷🌱
This has to be one of the most epic theme songs ever. I love Niles's delivery; he reminds me of Orson Welles's narration in the old The Shadow radio dramas.
Brilliant! When I first watched this episode and Frasier said "if less is more, just imagine how more more will be", I thought 'just how Queen used to think in their recording studios'.
@HaldirTheBestElf FYI people can be lovable/loved even when they aren't perfect; the fact that you love them and your human ability to see their flaws aren't mutually exclusive. Frasier is awesome and hilarious, and he is also a 'pretentious fop' by Niles' definition (and the same goes for Niles himself) and I think that every Frasier fan would agree on that. In this specific show those flaws are a big part of why they are funny and also adorable. Even in the context of the act....in most comedic scenes in 'Frasier' we see the timeless routine of the straight man and the funny man. Frasier or Niles (or both) are usually the funny one and are put in contrast with the straight man, often played by Martin, who is sitting there with a WTF face. He is confused and often annoyed but he does love them even if he doesn't appreciate their delusion of grandeur and their aristocrat-wanna-be nonsense. Long story short, yes he is loved, also by me, you misread my intentions in my comment. I wrote that comment with a smile on my face.
"Niles you were wonderful." "Thank you the trombone frightened me" Got to love Frasier. They don't do shows like this anymore. Most shows now a days insult the intelligence. Frasier rocks.
Historical moment in sitcom history , what a golden scene , and just watch frasier conducting during the line "there's no need for shame , you can use a false name " . You see his pride over the roof what a brillant performance haha
Frasier: “I’ve had such trouble contacting her recently” Niles: “Oh, I assumed one simply painted a pentagram on the floor and chanted “I summon thee” three times.
Who dares enter the dark labyrinth of the human mind? *bowed waterphone* What festering secrets are buried in the recesses of the subconscious? *superball mallet on gong* Lurid images *flexatone* Lewd desires *slide whistle* Guilty pleasures *timpani pedal glissando Strange compulsion *bass trombone slide*
The whole catalog of human behavior from the abarynth (sp?) to the monstrous lurks behind a locked door to which one man holds the key! *gong is struck*
This is one of the Fraiser episodes that really stuck in my head when I was younger cause this was the first ever episode I had watched ever with my dad and from there on, I was hooked. What a classic!
Why would anyone dislike this? Thank you for so many laughters, Kelsey and David... And for many thoughts too. I have all the seasons on DVD and I watch 'Frasier' almost daily. Your fan all the way from Syria.
now here is the man, to explain, the tortured terrain of your brain, the man who feels everyone's pain...doctor crane...doctor crane...FRASIER CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE!
freddy feldman hey, you should come to england, channel 4 tv(one of the five main national broadcast stations) has been showing 2 /3 episodes every weekday morning around 9, 10am continuously for at least 10 years and when they reach the final episode they simply start again-its pure heaven! i never get tired of it and im obviously not alone or they would have stopped long ago as a commercial station-long may it continue!
Oh! I finally figured what the beginning of this song sounds like! Candide's overture! And Candide happens to be Frasier's favorite musical which he revealed in an airport to that woman whose fav musical was Cats!. I am such a Frasier groupie.
LOVE this scene! What makes it even that much more hilarious is the scene leading into this when he was collaborating with Niles around the piano and Frasier says to the effect “I don’t know Niles…it’s just missing something…” [Next scene: *an ENTIRE Orchestral Ensemble*] lol Just perfect, so smartly written as is this entire show.
Wow I loved this scene. Frasier's exhausted accomplishment done, he collapses into the chair utterly content with himself. Leon getting a role in the band that made him feel proud to participate is wholesome. Roz ignoring how ridiculously overly complex the tune is to support her boyfriend is pure. Niles glowing in the pride of having helped his big brother. Daphne actually surprised of how far off base Frasier has taken things even though she shouldn't be. Kenny staring forward into an actual state of understanding how insane Frasier is. Marty's crossed armed, slightly disappointed understanding and lack of surprise at the length Frasier has mis-shaped the purpose of this project.
Frasier is sooo EXTRA for this!!! I love it!!! I laughed so hard when I first saw this! 😂😂😂 And Niles backs him up which makes me love them both the more! 😂❤😂❤
and stil they went with his Dads version...; "If you've got a problem, if you're feeling low, looking for some answers, things you need to know. All you've got to do is ask. All you've got to do is ask."
no288 personally, I love both of them. The one they went with sounds like a proper jingle, but this one was just so over-the-top, that I absolutely loved it. Could you imagine if Frasier's radio show was an actual thing and they decided to go with this one?
Actually that was Frasier's second attempt at a jingle. His dad's one was... "What's new? I'm listening, Feeling blue? I'm listening, Feeling bad, feeling sad, feeling mad, feeling glad, I'm listening."
There are so many absolutely amazing lines in this who scene, a couple missed out. The delivery on "With a subtle bow of thanks to the muse Calliope..." and "Like Gilbert and Sullivan, only frightening"
I remember watching this the night it aired, especially the excitement when the string section started up(0:10) and made us realize how epic the song was going to be. Frasier mouthing the Freud quote in German with pure joy and satisfaction is one of the funniest and most endearing moments of the whole series.
I was buzzin when i found this: my fave scene from my fave episode...ive watched the rpts on ch4 every day for ages waiting for this one and they finally showed it last week!! Go Dr.Crane...hehe,its only sposed to be a 30 second jingle!
This episode and the one where Niles and Frasier buy a restaurant and everything goes wrong are my two favorites--out of weekly episodes--all which were platinum.
I don't remember the first time I saw this...because I was on the ground laughing. Fraiser is such a genius show, I still watch it all the time on Lifetime.
The best bit is when Daphne and Roz give each other a look and chuckle XD I feel like that part was just them reacting as regular people and not in character :)
People are already pre-judging the reboot of Frasier. When Frasier moved to Seattle he didn't bring any of the regulars from Cheers. Frasier can carry a whole show by himself... Give it a chance..
Fan hate for reboots seems to be the order of the day currently. Or for any adaptation of an IP that doesn't exactly meet every fan's every expectation ever. Take the HALO TV show on Paramount Plus. People are super mad about stupid crap like the fact that Master Chief removes his helmet, or that he's leading Silver Team instead of Blue Team (The team from the games) or that the Covenant are using a human agent in their plans for the artifacts (never mind that this human has been brainwashed so thoroughly that she openly hates her own species and shows no remorse for it, even refusing to speak English because of how "disgusting" it is.
Kenny - A little jingle, that's all we wanted. Ten seconds to start the show. He gives me harps and drums and people speaking German!
I laughed so hard...I just finished watching Frasier on Paramount + since I never saw it.
Hahaha
One of the GREATEST Frasier scenes of all time! Also one of the greatest tv moments period!

spot on evaluation-couldnt have put it better!👍
Well said
Precisely my dear
Niles "The trombone frightened me". Inside musicians humor to be sure.
I'm listening.
the excitement of Niles when he does the Monologue is precious..and at the end he says "the trombone frightened me.." classic.
I was going to give you a like, but you have 69 likes. Nice.
Gotta love Niles, "The trombone frightened me!"
Jacob Morgan I know many a trombone player- they all frighten me 😂
@@JoeBleasdaleReal Well, they could eeasily put an eye out with those things!
I love it when Martin is like "You need something simple, something that you can whistle. I tried whistling that thing you wrote and I got light headed!"
Leave it to Frasier to create a symphony when asked to do a 10 second jingle
Right!!! 😂😂😂
@@tw6361 Everything he did with the orchestra obviously shows how what dramatically egotistical and hypocritical snob he is, lol!!! 😂😂😂
Yeah. But it was worth it.
"Ah but if less is more, just imagine how much more more will be!" - Frasier Crane
Is Frasier supposed to be doing a radio theme song, or recording Dark Side of the Moon?
Hahahaha
@Ice Hockey is Pretty Pretty Good I love every season of course but seasons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are my favorites of the entire series!
You may be seated!
@Ice Hockey is Pretty Pretty Good Season 7 smashes it out of the park!
To be fair, if I was station manager, I would have approved this right off the cuff. It probably would have been a tad expensive but the tune does have a lasting effect! Frasier was definitely on to something here!
If it was without the middle monologue it would be okay.
Even the middle monologue worked for me. Just needs to lose the trumpet intro
I know right. I liked it. If I heard it on the radio I would enjoy it with a chuckle.
I’d pay to hear this!!! Orchestra music with MANY different instruments sounds quite soothing. :)
I’d say they should’ve just used the final part where they chant Frazier’s name over and over again
I love what Daphne said afterwards " Wow it's like Gilbert and Sullivan only frightening"
Holy toledo - i thought of Gilbert and Sullivan right off! yup! whoever composed and arranged the music, and whoever wrote the libretto for this one, each is a genius!! 😸🌷🌱
@@feralblueeI think we were all thinking Gilbert & Sullivan, i know for sure i was
This has to be one of the most epic theme songs ever. I love Niles's delivery; he reminds me of Orson Welles's narration in the old The Shadow radio dramas.
Oh my goodness I was thinking the same thing!
Niles’ part is what really sends me 😂
I'm just a poor boy; nobody loves me.
He's just a poor boy from a poor family.
Spare him his life from this monstrosity.
ON OUR SHOW! ON OUR SHOW!
+CytotoxinK Queen fan much?
Freddy lover
Brilliant! When I first watched this episode and Frasier said "if less is more, just imagine how more more will be", I thought 'just how Queen used to think in their recording studios'.
Who dares enter the dark labyrinth of the human minnddd?!!!!
That's quite the stutter you have there.
It's scary in there.
What makes this even more hilarious is that he is a psychiatrist and he can't even tell how Kenny actually feels.
I think deep down inside he can , his ego just is so off the roof that he is being blinded by it haha
@@brandonayong7656 lol ego indeed. the fact that he turned a quick jingle into a 2 minutes long opera just shows how pompous he is
Sometimes when we are immersed in our own thing we do not check on our surroundings and the perception of others
@HaldirTheBestElf FYI people can be lovable/loved even when they aren't perfect; the fact that you love them and your human ability to see their flaws aren't mutually exclusive.

The writing and acting on this show was amazing. BeBe the agent was my favorite character.
Frasier "Is there any chance it wasn't you??"
Bebe "Oh darling... There's always a chance.."
The episode where she has to give up smoking is hilarious. Bebe was a riot lol.
Frasier: “I’ve had such trouble contacting her recently”
Niles: “Oh, I assumed one simply painted a pentagram on the floor and chanted “I summon thee” three times.
@@MehIgotnothing “give the mm to me I’ll do anything……………..I’ll make you A STAR!!!” Lol
I loved her quote: "If I had sore eyes . . . you'd be a sight for them!"
Who dares enter the dark labyrinth of the human mind? *bowed waterphone*
What festering secrets are buried in the recesses of the subconscious? *superball mallet on gong*
Lurid images *flexatone*
Lewd desires *slide whistle*
Guilty pleasures *timpani pedal glissando
Strange compulsion *bass trombone slide*
that wasn't a bass trombone
Thanks cos I didn't know what the flexatone was called! And it's hard to describe XD
To know there are people who know each instrument, even the one we didn’t see, is truly Cranian...
I’m just surprised Frasier allowed a slide whistle in this, doesn’t seem like something he’d appreciate
The whole catalog of human behavior from the abarynth (sp?) to the monstrous lurks behind a locked door to which one man holds the key! *gong is struck*
What makes this work is it is such a reflection of his ego, yet it is not egomanical
Clueless egotism
This is one of the Fraiser episodes that really stuck in my head when I was younger cause this was the first ever episode I had watched ever with my dad and from there on, I was hooked. What a classic!
Kathryn Webb omg same!!
Most underrated show ever. Tossed salads and scrambled eggs
+Michael Kingman at least it wasn't underrated by the critics and awards voters.....now Wings, on the other hand.....
Michael Kingman That's right that's why it last for 11 seasons 😂
How is it underrated. Over 30 Emmys, 11 seasons and continuous re-runs in over 30 countries...
It deserved 31 Emmy's.
you're kidding right? where did you get the idea its underrated??
Niles: Strange compulsions!
Trombone: *Fwaaaaaahhh!*
1:00
This scene so perfectly encapsulates the whole idea behind Frasier lol.
Why would anyone dislike this?
Thank you for so many laughters, Kelsey and David... And for many thoughts too. I have all the seasons on DVD and I watch 'Frasier' almost daily.
Your fan all the way from Syria.
now here is the man, to explain, the tortured terrain of your brain, the man who feels everyone's pain...doctor crane...doctor crane...FRASIER CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE!
balin2k i was reading this like i was singing it and you know what i am proud of it this scene is amazing like many others from this show
*ting*
Best part of the song
My favorite show ever. I just finished watching it all two days ago. I cried at the end...
I have seen the series probably 50 times, but the last episode only twice. It's too heartbreaking and I can't watch it!
Me and my husband watch all episodes during long, cold winters here in Scandinavia. But we prefer to skip the last episode... I miss them every day.
My favorite part is 1:32 where Fras gets really into his creation. hahaha!!
Oh god I realy miss this show
freddy feldman hey, you should come to england, channel 4 tv(one of the five main national broadcast stations) has been showing 2 /3 episodes every weekday morning around 9, 10am continuously for at least 10 years and when they reach the final episode they simply start again-its pure heaven! i never get tired of it and im obviously not alone or they would have stopped long ago as a commercial station-long may it continue!
Frasier at 1:33...You've got to love that proud ego he so clearly expresses without words!
That face he makes right there is what made me laugh the most lol. What a great cast!
He's so proud of himself too and then the fact Kenny goes with Marty's jingle makes it even funnier. 😅
The trombone frightened me.
Doctor Crane Doctor Crane Frasier Crane
Meg Nowaczyk.*Ding*
I bet they had such fun rehearsing this!! :D
This was so OTT but so Frasier.
Saw it yesterday and was rolling!
This show was brilliant.
Glad Channel 4 do Triple Bills every morning!
Yes!! Love watching it in the mornings on ch 4!
Oh! I finally figured what the beginning of this song sounds like! Candide's overture! And Candide happens to be Frasier's favorite musical which he revealed in an airport to that woman whose fav musical was Cats!.
I am such a Frasier groupie.
+ZSy264 "I like cats. I have a cat. Would you like to meet him?"
I've memorized most of the major lines in Frasier.
"I'm just afraid that if I move Louie any further away they're gonna think he's a bomb!"
ZSy264 I never noticed that, and I've played it 3 times!
Frasier channels a lot of Bernstein in his conducting here lol
the writers of this show were so amazing
You can really feel the grandeur and majesty from the brass at the beginning. But I'm getting something else from them....perhaps a soupçon of awe?
*ON OUR SHOW! ON OUR SHOW!*
Fantastic Queen referrence
Patryk Wieczorek Who dares to enter the dark labyrinth of the human mind?!
I honestly don't think I ever laughed as hard watching Frasier as during this part. I still crack up every time :')
"Is ,mother to BLAME????" And Frasier just loved that part. This was awesome.
LOVE this scene! What makes it even that much more hilarious is the scene leading into this when he was collaborating with Niles around the piano and Frasier says to the effect “I don’t know Niles…it’s just missing something…” [Next scene: *an ENTIRE Orchestral Ensemble*] lol Just perfect, so smartly written as is this entire show.
This song is perfect for his show.
I KNOW RIGHT i think this was much better than the song that marty did on the same episode for frasier's show and that eventually got picked
Thank god I gave this show a chance when I thought I hated it,how stupid I was...
Much love from Scotland
Frasier: well Kenny what's your reaction
Kenny:
@James Takes your breath away, doesn't it?
Wow I loved this scene. Frasier's exhausted accomplishment done, he collapses into the chair utterly content with himself. Leon getting a role in the band that made him feel proud to participate is wholesome. Roz ignoring how ridiculously overly complex the tune is to support her boyfriend is pure. Niles glowing in the pride of having helped his big brother. Daphne actually surprised of how far off base Frasier has taken things even though she shouldn't be. Kenny staring forward into an actual state of understanding how insane Frasier is. Marty's crossed armed, slightly disappointed understanding and lack of surprise at the length Frasier has mis-shaped the purpose of this project.
This show.... GENIUS!
One of our favorite FRASIER moments!
This is like the Bohemian Rhapsody of jingles.
1:32 he's feeling it. Lol
Frasier is sooo EXTRA for this!!! I love it!!! I laughed so hard when I first saw this! 😂😂😂 And Niles backs him up which makes me love them both the more! 😂❤😂❤

@@johnpat3622 which is actually much better than Frasier's one
I wished I gave this show a chance when it was on air, but thanks to Netflix I was able to enjoy the series.
Niles is the best part. Well that and "Errrrrrrrrrrectile dysfunction!"
I feel that the suppressed laughter at 1:25 was genuine corpsing. I can't blame them, of course!!! XD
" That you see, that's what good conducting can do! " Frasier
This was hilarious but really good
the people on this show and everyone that helps write the show and stuf are wonderful! this show was wonderful!
1:01, I just LOVE Niles' reaction!!!!!.... :) ;) :D
I love that satisfied look he has at the end of the song.
Brilliant scene. Loved the music too. So over the top but gorgeous.
There are so many absolutely amazing lines in this who scene, a couple missed out. The delivery on "With a subtle bow of thanks to the muse Calliope..." and "Like Gilbert and Sullivan, only frightening"
One of the best scenes of the series. Classic. And damn that jingle is addictive!
11 people were frightened by the trombone
Wow. Just wow.
Maybe this should have been the show's theme song.
"they're playing our song"
Way to go, Leon! :D
Didn't realize he actually hits it a few times before the end. That sorta ruins it for me. :/
His face at the end makes up for that I think.
I feel like the audience should have laughed as loud as I did the first time I saw this 🤣🤣🤣
this is my ringtone:.)
😯 You can do that?!
I think that's a great song
The name of this episode is, "They're playing our song" from Season 7, episode 13.
Leon really made the whole thing there at the end. Way to go Leon!
Frasier is one show that is worth binge watching ❤
I remember watching this the night it aired, especially the excitement when the string section started up(0:10) and made us realize how epic the song was going to be. Frasier mouthing the Freud quote in German with pure joy and satisfaction is one of the funniest and most endearing moments of the whole series.
I was buzzin when i found this: my fave scene from my fave episode...ive watched the rpts on ch4 every day for ages waiting for this one and they finally showed it last week!! Go Dr.Crane...hehe,its only sposed to be a 30 second jingle!
Six people were frightened by the trombone.
I would really listen to a show with this as its theme song...
Love this show and cheers, its funny that this is his idea of a jingle but it does stic in your head
10 sec just a 10 sec intro lol The trombone frightened me.
"The trombone frightened me." Niles Crane is just the greatest character in television history.
Pretty good orchestration!! I love it!
I loved this over-the-top theme song lol But particularly when Niles does the voiceover monologue part and he looks behind after the horn blows lol
well Kenny what's your reaction
Pa Pa WOW.
@James The trombone frightened me.
lol "stop scratching ur head let us cure it instead" lmao
This episode and the one where Niles and Frasier buy a restaurant and everything goes wrong are my two favorites--out of weekly episodes--all which were platinum.
One of my favorite Frasier scenes. Also, Kelsey Grammer's face at 1:32 should have won him an Emmy alone.
Most epic Frasier episode ever. Also, don't forget about the Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs! Let's do it again!!!
Lol omg the mans ego is tremendous!!!! But he is good at song writing so applause
superb ensemble - beautiful playing and incredible singing voices. they’re utterly ready for Gilbert and Sullivan! bravissimo!!! ✨🎶😮😺😲😸
Love it !!. Intelligrent humor.
Don't have that anymore.
This isn’t a 15 second jingle to a radio show. It’s the opening song to The Dr. Frasier Crane Movie.
I'd say more like the Dr. Frasier Crane Musical
Toche.
I don't remember the first time I saw this...because I was on the ground laughing.
Fraiser is such a genius show, I still watch it all the time on Lifetime.
I can watch this clip all day long...Totally brilliant!
This killed me.
Brilliant.
I'm 15 years old and I know this show almost like the back of my hand
The best bit is when Daphne and Roz give each other a look and chuckle XD
I feel like that part was just them reacting as regular people and not in character :)
way to go leon!!!!
best theme song of all times!!! So brilliantly and fittingly written. Absolute stroke of genius. :D
HOLY crap that was hysterical.
any good bloke or bird is a Frasier Crane fan,, obviously x
Now that's good conducting :0
This is my ringtone
People are already pre-judging the reboot of Frasier.
When Frasier moved to Seattle he didn't bring any of the regulars from Cheers.
Frasier can carry a whole show by himself... Give it a chance..
Fan hate for reboots seems to be the order of the day currently. Or for any adaptation of an IP that doesn't exactly meet every fan's every expectation ever. Take the HALO TV show on Paramount Plus.

Thank you. This cured my depression
