30 Times Niles Crane Was Funnier Than Frasier 

Yes, and a laugh every 5 minutes or so - fantastic.

I’ll drink to that

Facts

Totally agree ,but, this hardly raised a smile. Maybe because it is minus the pre- build-up.

Brian is funnier than Peter. But Brian wrote the scripts.

Ppppp

My favorite Niles episode!!! So classically funny. No words needed!!!

My favorite Niles moment! DHP was a great physical comedian.

That was one of the best scenes ever.

hahahaha

My favorite moment was when Roz walked into the men's room and demanded that Bulldog come out of the stall and start doing his show. Niles, not knowing the complete situation, walked in, and says "Oh Roz, are we playing hard to get?"

I love when Roz gave Daphne a garter as a little wedding gift to fulfill the "something borrowed" requirement. Daphne: "Ohhh how beautiful, look at all the intricate detail." Niles: "Yes, I particularly love the little odometer."

awh, but Nilesy is your fav. 😋

I like him and his brother, but Niles is obviously the more attractive one

It was an assistant casting director on Wings who first noted the resemblance between Kelsey and David. When the programme was at the planning stage she wrote to the creators suggesting that if they ever decided Frasier should have a brother she knew the perfect actor.

@@patriciabyrne5089 that's pretty cool! And btw, the only other sibling mate-up I can think of on casting would be a movie. I forget its name, but Julia Roberts and Kyra Sedgewick were sisters in it... that was an impressively convincing sibling pair-up too.

The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT. John 3:18 KJV He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

That was one of my favorite lines ever.

And then the couch caught fire

Oh honey, we're all in love with Niles. He has those perfect moments of charm

Growing up with it was an experience

I thought i was the only one growing up watching this as a kid :)

Have you seen any movies with him?? Definitely worth the look!

Except for daphne, she was a bore to watch

And the way Martin nods earnestly afterwards.

You have to dump dad 😂

Any when he leaves he says, "And I'm KEEPING the jewelry!"

When you can hear Niles laughing in the kitchen after he has been told wants happening 🤣🤣🤣

Martin: (︶^︶）"We didn't tell anybody because..." *looks at Niles* (。_。) Niles: (ㆆ_ㆆ) "So many reasons." 😂

Even better considering the actor playing Niles is gay 😁

2nd best comedy series after The Dick Van Dyke Show...

Nobody was so well cast as David Hyde Pierce. The best with quick witty come backs and the best physical comedy ever!

@@carolbarber9898 And, physically, he looked the part to such perfection, too 😍

Those are 2 of my favorites as well

Totally agree about ur 2nd fav. "Merry Xmas Mrs Moskowitz" is, hands down, my absolute fav Frasier episode. So hilarious. So well done. And the episode deservedly won an Emmy for Comedy Writing. 😂😂

Marc Weissman....Good morning Marc, I continue enjoying the Frasier re-runs. I understand the show may be returning to reflect the new adventures of the Crane brothers as well. Would be nice! Take care. Sandy 🤗

Too bad there was no foresight in Cheers, could you Imagine Niles Crane in that bar with that crew???

Me too - 1000's

I annoy my husband when we watch the re-runs....I say the dialogue before they do.......I love that show. IMHO, Frasier was more annoying than funny. Niles, on the other hand, was by far the best character. His facial expressions were marvellous.....he didn’t have to say a word....you knew what he was thinking. Great show.

Lots and lots!!

i say this because I feel compelled to point out the mastery of Kelsey Grammar, but not because I think you were disparaging Kelsey Grammar or the character Fraser at all. Kelsey Grammar mastered the ability to be an extremely effective physical and situational comic wile also effortlessly being an excellent straightman. To be able to carry a show for 11 years (and several years as a supporting character) both grounding the comedy of the show and being a comedian of the show is a monumental talent. That being said I agree with you, Martha, I think Niels was my favorite character.

Me too🤣

This spin-off also poked fun at the times, the 1990's when so many people were living grand.

I think the only successful one

Actually I like it better than ‘Cheers’. Working a lot of hours didn’t allow much time for me to be watching TV series, so I discovered this brilliant gem after I retired. Wow‼️ A superb series and one that I like to watch over and over.

Yes mystery radio show 😂

I know, right? That was hysterical!

@margomckaine78 yep 🤣

I agree - it never got stupid. It actually became more interesting each season. Every moment is hilarious and well crafted I believe.

There's only one character funnier than him: Lilith Sternin

@@pawnhearts8785 OMG yes!

David Hyde Pierce sells it.

@@nancyyearta7289 God I love Cheers. They should do a Top 30 Normisms video. So many memorable quotes from Norm.

They’re a comedic duo. Both would be worse without the other.

Even with the 4 years at clown college!

@@firebeardnc6012 I’ll thank you not to refer to Princeton that way.

Still better than Vassar

@@langdonalger9219 the point is, you obviously still blame me for what happened at your audition.

@@avinashtyagi2 I’ve had just about enough of your Vassar bashing!

"Dad, where are your pants?" "In the fridge!"

. . .while also setting the couch in fire . . .

Oh that was 1 of my favorites. Niles was preparing for what I recalled a Valentine's dinner. Upon noticing his pants needed pressing, he then ironed his pants but then found a string hanging. He proceeded to cut the string when he accidentally cut his finger. Blood all over the place. Hysterical. A one man show.

Number one on the list is the earlier part of that scene.

@@sandraklein2651 David Hyde Pierce's tour de force. Best episode hands down! And at the end Eddie scarfing the pasta off the sofa, where he threw the whole cooking pot to put out the fire!

@@lauramalek3128 Hiya Laura....I continue laughing whenever that episode airs. Eddie really enjoyed himself too; the pasta feast. Take care and stay safe....Best, Sandy

My husband and I usually watched the show together but he wasn't with me the first time I saw this scene. I tried to explain all of what happened when I saw my husband later but I kept laughing so hard that I could hardly talk. A wonderful scene--the writing and the acting were both brilliant!

OMG! I had forgotten about the beach house episode! Yes, one of the funniest ever!

I belly laughed at that one

No, not sure - Fraser was fantastic, erudite, pathetic, handsome, boyish and lovable.

Easily the smartest way to work around a potential plot hole. Love it.

I believe on Cheers he also said both of his parents were dead.

Frasier explained that he and Martin weren't getting along at the time so out of anger he told everyone he was dead. 😆

I can see why

I missed that one too!

My hot and foamy must’ve exploded

@@Handlethis81637 "He was a detective, you know."

hmmm not so sure about the saner part they were all pretty charmingly nuts!

@@merrilybeck872 I rarely liked frasier, but he had his moments. I guess we all have our preferences.

Yes! The one where he was higher than a kite was great.

@@kjh1678 “For God’s sake, Dad! You’re stoned off your ass!” 🤣

@@noahyingling8408 That's the one.

He had his best ideas when he was high. Dog army and fridge pants.

3:00

I haven't seen that one yet I watch it all the time! Somehow I missed that one! I will be watching out for that show from now on. It is on after the golden girls in the evening. Another one of my favorites!

Finally someone mentions the best of all times sitcom: All in the Family. I still laugh hard and cry at the same time watching it. And admire those characters and how well the actors got to them. Edith is a jewel. Very well written and even better played. So its Archie. And what to say about the Jeffersons? I'm glad they got their on sitcom in the end! Great shows. Timeless.

For me, I couldn't enjoy All in th Family the way everyone else did:: too much yelling. But, I absolutely love Frasier, Bewitched, King of Queens, and a few others that I happily rewatch over and over thanks to the DVD sets.

Old school comedies are the best cause they were funny. There will never be shows like that again.
