Every time I see this scene I remember the first time. I remember the burning sensation of the root beer that shot through my nose and onto the screen..
Hello from the u.k. Marty, such a great character in the show, so many well written U.S. comedy series but this and curb, are way above the rest. I live 10 miles from Where John Mahoney was born. Take care.
@@CursoryMercenary When I got the box set I watched at least one episode per week to the end of series six. When Niles finally divorced Maris and Daphne got engaged to his divorce lawyer it seemed a perfect end to me. Yeah, controversial view, I know, but I quite like downbeat/tragically ironic endings. I've watched odd episodes from later series that I remembered enjoying at the time but having such a concentrated dose of the good years made me realise just how much the series had dropped by the end.
The writing in this scene is the epitome of what makes Frasier such a classic. From subtle to laugh out loud funny, this has it all. Niles will always be my favorite.
A perfect example of why "Frasier" was such a brilliant, well-done show. It had every type of humor -- witty repartee, bawdy jokes, farce, belly laughs, silliness, snarky asides, physicality, sarcasm, etc. It never treated the viewers as if they were dumb. They assumed we were going to get that joke about an Ibsen play, a Wagner opera, or any other urbane thing they threw at us. In this instance, it poked fun at itself. Always will be in my personal list of top shows.
Yeah, it really was the epitome of “multi-level humor” most of the more erudite references flew over my head watching it as a kid (and if I’m being honest, many still do), but the character based humor, the skilled acting and the regular culture clash can be appreciated by anyone.
I'd love it more if they showed it in the evening instead of mornings as the episodes are often cut for time reasons and the odd mild expletive...but still a fantastic sitcom to watch with your morning coffee!
@@rev.dr.yvonneray2035 at the start of the episode Frasier is super happy that his antique scout found Anne of Cleaves to complete his set of coffee cups with Henry VIII's wives.
+italotter Nah, projection is when you accuse someone else of the feelings or problems you secretly have. I'm actually not sure what the technical term would be for what Daphne is doing.
It could also just as easily have been that she was receptive to the type, and it could have been Niles, or someone else. But eventually, when you're familiar with someone for a while and you feel a certain way, it's only natural certain things get expressed and people move together. Shows are fun with the high spike of hope and the comedy of letdown, but it gets old when it cycles on the same subject over and over.
How many years has it been that this show is off the air and it's still one of the funniest things out there. The writers were brilliant. The ensemble was just in top form. Seriously, there is no sitcom currently out there that comes even close to this.
@Fuzzyscarfandmittens none at all. Frasier was also so unique that it blended high brow humor with more working class\lower brow humor so perfectly because of the diversity of the characters' personalities. I don't know any other show that has this much of a diverse set of characters to where you get such a lovely variety of humor. Frasier was in a league of its own
I said elsewhere the Niles character was perfect for the spin off it allowed Frasier a smooth transition from Boston to Seattle and adapt to Niles. When Frasier was first on Cheers he was exactly like Niles than adapted to fit into the pub lifestyle. Niles allowed Frasier the character and show to spin off so successfully.
When we were dating, I invited my now-husband to watch Frasier with me. I was fresh out of a 5-year relationship, and he was bitter towards women while suffering from incredible loneliness. Frasier episodes became a launching pad for us to discuss our expectations for the relationship: what works, what doesn't, behaviors we don't like, etc. I mean, we were just talking about the show, but really we were talking about our own situation. We've been together about 10 years now, married for 6-7 years, and are expecting our third child (embryo adoption). 10/10 would recommend watching this show while dating lol
I suspect the hardest job for most of the actors was not laughing at some of the lines. Jane Leeves is often in the background either laughing or trying to hide it.
All I know is that Anne Boleyn was beheaded by King Henry VIII (husband) and Catherine of Aragon was divorced by King Henry VIII (husband). Catherine was married to Henry while he was in love with Anne. He also ignored and avoided Catherine as much as possible after Mary (Queen Mary I) was born. Henry divorced Catherine because 1) she gave him a daughter when he wanted a son. 2) he "loved" Anne and 3) he was bored with her. Catherine was also banished from the court.
''So sorry, but about my coffee. I neglected to mention that I like my milk steamed, but just a dollop of foam, such as might give the effect of a cumulus cloud reflected in a still pond''!!
I loved those moments in the show when Frasier and Martin are on the same page. It’s little glimpses that, despite their differences, they are still father and son and can relate to and react to things in a similar manner.
I remember this episode. I love the line from from their father. "I can't talk now Duke I think I'm in the Twilight Zone". That made my sides hurt from laughing so much
I think this must be where I picked up the habit, when I worked in one particularly weird place, of responding to the question "Where do you work?" with "In the Twilight Zone".
@@milesparris4045 I doubt it'll be that bad. I'm pretty sure 'zoomers' even know what a typewriter is (let alone a flip-phone). At worst, the next generation will probably say something stupid like _"OMD! That old tech is so lame!"_ while lacking the awareness that their current tech will be outdated garbage to the generation after them. Superficial, materialistic people are morons like that.
I agree, I never got into Friends at all, but Frasier I never missed it. I lived in Hawaii when it first came on and went out and bought a little black and white belly TV just so I could watch that every week. The only show I watch in Hawaii. I now own the complete Series.
My favorite line comes later in this episode where Frasier warns Niles not to engage Rodney in physical combat, because "it would just look too weird!" 😂
I always loved in this show that they show each other laughing at jokes that are actually funny, like Martin snickering at Frasier's 'red dot' comment...other shows when people are funny the audience laughs but the characters just gloss over it
Or how Frasier smirks at Martin's "Twilight Zone" comment... as posh as the character of Frasier is, he laughs at his father's joke because humans are not established characters in real life.
Rewatched this ep today. Frasiers delivery of “Whatever you do, don’t engage in a physical altercation. The whole thing would just look too weird” had me in stitches
I remember lying on my couch at 10:30 pm weeknights after Seinfeld watching Frasier and positively peeing myself laughing, with my little boy who insisted on watching it too. What a wonderful way to end each day!
It's so sad the mindless, and negative things that are being shown on television here in 2022. And what is even sadder is this is what most people, here in the States prefer to watch! SMH....
Niles and Frasier had a high level of understanding each other, there was no reason to ask what or why it had happened, only which cup had been sacrificed.
A perfect episode. The looks between Martin and Frasier are hilarious. The idea of creating Nile's doppelganger is beyond brilliant. I could watch the episode over and over.
I have watched this episode numerous times and I still literally laugh out loud throughout every scene. Love this show!! No matter how any times you watch it, it's still hilarious!!! .... PEACE.
Just the looks alone that Martin and Frasier give each other before they go into the kitchen cracks me up. What a great show. Great writing and wonderful actors.
I lost count of how many times I've seen this episode but it never gets old... sheer comedy brilliance... As is the acting by David Hyde Pierce..... Brilliant writing... brilliant performances... And whoever casted Kevin Farrelll as Niles' lookalike deserves a medal.... you can watch this a hundred times(like I have) and still 🤣🤣 You're a dead man waving the spatula is... well, you get the picture.. this sitcom had the best writers, hands down...
I would say they're equally memorable but yes for a spin off to match the run of the original series is a blessing but for it to even surpass the original just a tad is a miracle!
I loved Cheers, but it's sort of slipped into the category of "Remember how much I enjoyed it, but leave it where it is now. Just in case it hasn't aged well."
@@chrisparkes2179 People nowadays and since the 90s can relate more with the environment of "Frasier" than with "Cheers". The humor based on character's behaviors is perfect and timeless on both of the series, though.
I hated Frasier on "Cheers" because of his role in the series: the love interest between Sam and Diane, and Diane's emotional punching bag. It's quite unbelievable that the writers were able to not tweak his character too much and still feel like a brand new character. All guest appearances from "Cheers" on "Frasier" fit perfectly with the spin-off version of the character.
Notice the unspoken brilliance that the two kitchen utensils Niles randomly grabs to "murder" Frasier with just happen to be a rather small whisk and a rubber spatula. Just Niles' luck XD
@@johnpat3622 no. He was my Voice & Diction teacher. He could not believe how bad the Western NY accent was. (Buffalo) He was really great, smart and a lot of fun. He also gave me an A!
3:02 It's at this point that Frasier feels the wrath of Niles! Also, the Twilight Zone gag was spot-on and following that up with "What the Hell was that?!" was nothing short of sitcom perfection!
It was at that point frasier should be grateful for there dad because nile's was about to show frasier his appreciation for telling him not to go up to daphin the night she broke up with her exboyfriend 🫣😂😂
111danish111 Earlier in the episode, Frasier had brought home a rare (and expensive) collector's cup to complete his collection, thus making a full set (with Tudor Royal art/engraving). Frasier was anxiously asking which one was broken when Niles dropped it.
I love those moments when Frasier and Niles connect with Martin over something. Obviously as the show went on, the conflict between father and sons was less of a focus, but these moments reminded you that, no matter how different they were, Martin was still their dad.
Frasier was true gold comedy genius above and beyond Friends! So witty, erudite, perfect timing by cast absolute godsend to get me through the 90's. Test of time oh yeah! I'm still laughing at every snippet 20 years on. 🤣 💕💕💕💕
This scene is not unlike the one when David Ogden Stiers guest stars as Frasier's mother's former assistant, and he and Frasier confuse Eddie with their similar mannerisms.
That casting and acting as "Niles'" doppelganger was brilliant! It's too bad the show didn't bring that actor back for more episodes, even one more. Yet, that continued plot line may have taken the show in a completely unwanted direction. But, it could've been an interesting subtext.
Whoever found the actor to play Niles' doppelganger deserves a big, big raise.
The actor playing Rodney makes a fortune selling Tupperware in drag.
Oh absolutely!!! 🤗🤗
I’m pretty sure he got one
Every time I see this scene I remember the first time. I remember the burning sensation of the root beer that shot through my nose and onto the screen..
I totally agree, almost a Niles Twin. It's was great, the both of them, their timing. So fun and laughable!!
I don't understand why people so fascinated by Friends never took a look at Frasier, it's so much better and well written!
Amit Amola but it was a different type of a show then Cheers
Friends was a lot more escapist.
Amit Amola I agree
Amit Amola could not stand Friends
I enjoy both shows
"I can't talk now, Duke. I'm in the Twilight Zone!"
bahahaha. great line!
Lol love this show
Best line in the episode.
My favorite punchline to the entire series....although "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" is a razor-close second!
Yeah, that was brilliant!
"Oh I can't talk now Duke, I'm in the Twilight Zone." This is one of the best lines in sitcom history. Love it.

And they really got the flavo of Seattle which endeared the show to us.
You summed it up perfectly. This show had it all & then some!
best part, even if you didn't get those jokes, it doesn't ruin the episode for you, because the rest of the humor is easily understandable.
Your summary of summaries includes a production values universe.

This scene always leaves me rolling on the floor... especially the "What the hell was that?!" line in the kitchen.
Daphne was unconsciously looking for her own Niles; she wasn't aware that somewhere in her subconscious, she was desiring Niles.
I am no shrink - but it helps to know a bit about it - but isn't this phenomenon called 'projection'?
+italotter Nah, projection is when you accuse someone else of the feelings or problems you secretly have. I'm actually not sure what the technical term would be for what Daphne is doing.

The only show this close to perfection is Mike and Molly. Frasier is still the champ but M&M's diversity of cast makes it a very close second.

Too bad that guy wasnt written into more episodes. Would have been hilarious to see Rodney and Niles interact for a season

One of my all-time favourite Frasier scenes. Absolute comedic gold.
I love how people in the kitchen, which is open to the rest of the apartment, can never be heard even in dining room in this show.
It's like theater. Even when all characters are on the stage, only those who are lit can hear each other and those in darkness can't.
It takes excellent writing for a spin-off to be slightly more memorable than the original.

My favourite sitcom of all time. Instantly puts a smile on my face. Particularly the episode 'The Innkeepers' - one of dozens of favourites of course
One of my favorites is ‘Caught in the Act’ with “Nanny G”
I love this one but "Chess Pains" and "The Perfect Guy" I also love less for the comedy and more of how they remind me of me.

The writing, the cast, the acting!! All of it amazing!!
Oh no Frasier, I'm *grateful!* Let me show you how grateful I am!!😂😂😂
It was at that point frasier should be grateful for there dad because nile's was about to show frasier his appreciation for telling him not to go up to daphin the night she broke up with her exboyfriend 🫣😂😂
"I WANT TO KILL MYSELF!"
"You're a DEAD man!"
"Anne Boleyn..?? Catherine...of...Aragon"
😂😂😂😂😂😂I can't with this scene!
i did not understand that joke ....... they seem to be queens but still did not understand the joke
111danish111 Tudor period in British history. Look them up. Trust me, it ain't pretty, but DAMN it made that part hilarious for me.

Earlier in the episode, Frasier had brought home a rare (and expensive) collector's cup to complete his collection, thus making a full set (with Tudor Royal art/engraving).
Frasier was anxiously asking which one was broken when Niles dropped it.
they're on the coffee cups. Niles dropped one. They're the 6 wives of Henry the Eighth. But you already know that don't you?

"Im in the twilight zone!" Lol aww R.I.P Marton Crane we'll miss you xx
“Anne Boleyn?”……”Catherine of Aragon”…….comedic perfection.
I can't stop watching this...
Sooo well written and acted...
Timeless piece of comedy...
Sometimes, I do forget how brilliantly funny Frasier is! Must watch the whole thing again!!
I love those moments when Frasier and Niles connect with Martin over something. Obviously as the show went on, the conflict between father and sons was less of a focus, but these moments reminded you that, no matter how different they were, Martin was still their dad.
Theres very few sitcoms that make me laugh out loud, this is one of them! So well written and acted! A gem of a show! 💫
Doesn’t matter how many times you watch Frazier.. any episode..any clip.. always funny 😂😂😂
Frasier was true gold comedy genius above and beyond Friends! So witty, erudite, perfect timing by cast absolute godsend to get me through the 90's. Test of time oh yeah! I'm still laughing at every snippet 20 years on. 🤣 💕💕💕💕
I never got the appeal of Friends! This is just so well done.
Best long running comedy series ever!
It never gets old. Will always be one of my favs...
I forgot how much I loved this show.
This scene is not unlike the one when David Ogden Stiers guest stars as Frasier's mother's former assistant, and he and Frasier confuse Eddie with their similar mannerisms.
MikeInPlano Yes, that's one of my favorite episodes!
True, that one was so funny too!
/That was another brilliant episode
I LOVE THAT EPISODE! And I nearly died when DOS came on screen, I knew I was in for a treat :)
Hilarious (just as the other episodes)! Was that one called Fathers and Sons? Martin didn't even consider the idea until Roz mentioned it, haha.
Years later, and I still crack up with these guys!
That casting and acting as "Niles'" doppelganger was brilliant! It's too bad the show didn't bring that actor back for more episodes, even one more. Yet, that continued plot line may have taken the show in a completely unwanted direction. But, it could've been an interesting subtext.
I loved this show. I’ve rewatched it countless time. David Hyde Pierce is my favorite actor in the show.
Perfect scripts, supplemented with actors who all understand comedic timing and pace. Brilliant scene.
One of my favourite scenes in the whole of the very excellent Frasier.
I literally watch this show over and over again, by far the best written sitcom ever
The way this show builds up the perfect bit over episodes or seasons makes its comedy unmatched
can't talk Duke. I'm in the Twilight Zone. lol
Jane Leaves is absolutely Gorgeous. But, I was head over heels in love with Roz.
Great cast, great writers....magic
I can’t stop watching this clip
