David Hyde Pierce is an excellent physical comedian. One of the best.

[@muadibadder3345]

💯☝️

[@MegaKnight2012]

Watching this, I briefly thought he was combined with Doug Jones, who he dubbed in Hellboy

[@tajmulhall]

The shame he hasn’t returned to the 2023 reboot

[@thomaspetrucka9173]

It’s such a witty show that you don’t always notice it, but he absolutely is!

[@myjeanification]

He was also great in “the powers that be” too bad the show was cancelled before it caught an audience

[@savvystarfire6667]

What about the one where Niles has his hand down the garbage disposal and Frasier turns the coffee grinder on 😂😂 My favorite

[@kristinfrederick6867]

I came here to point out the same scene! "HYAA!!!"

[@Timmycoo]

Mine is always the "hot and foamy" bit lmao.

[@TheBatmanMan1]

Daphne’s Room. Season 2 Episode 17.

[@Timmycoo]

@@TheBatmanMan1 lmao I went to go see that part and ended up watching the entire episode. :P Frasier saying he's not afraid of Daphne is the biggest lie.

[@minimutt1000]

My favorite also

[@stephieirene1]

David Hyde Pierce is one of the greatest living actors.

[@Kie_97]

The episode where Niles feels sick and he's just trying to not ride in the elevator but he ends up riding it like 6 times, his physical reactions are hilarious, he bearly says 2 words as well. So clever and funny, god I miss this show 😅

[@eroche12]

Is also one of my favorites. Next to the fire of pants (which he did in one take btw)

[@crazyhorse9556]

@@eroche12 did not know that. Genius.

[@tyrel2541]

It was one of the best

[@BabyInACorner09]

Anything with niles is the best honestly! Especially the silent scene with him in the apartment ironing his pants omg!!

[@Callylily7]

That scene wirh 5he ironing board is hilarious. Niles is the glue that holds this show together. I love Niles .

[@brianmyers4444]

One of the great comedic scenes in tv history

[@songriver1232]

That is the best

[@darthsand3992]

Best opening of the show

[@JessieMillerUnboxingsandMore]

That is one of if not the best scene in Frasier!

[@Varrik159]

I love how much David Hyde Pierce and Kelsey Grammer complement each other in this programme. David is so good at the big, outrageous physical stuff, which is perfect because of how Niles is normal so prim and proper, but Kelsey is so good at being somehow subtle and cartoonish at the same time. A wonderful pairing!

[@EdnaK728]

Your spelling is just as aggressively British as Daphne's accent

[@Varrik159]

@@EdnaK728 I love the idea that British spelling is aggressive! I now have this vision of someone swapping the two letters at the end of "center" in the manner that one might snap the neck of a foe by sharply twisting their head.

[@Bobainthome]

the whole ironing scene is a physical comedy masterpiece....

[@TheTuubster]

0:45 It's just brilliant, how DHP does this little body movement to emphasize the aggression with which he pushes the door bell again and then the shift of his eyes piercing into the direction of Frasier. Watching "Frasier" is like watching Jazz musicians doing magic.

[@bellerain381]

Oh yes! This is one of my favorite scenes! Nothing was said and yet you understood exactly what was going through his mind😂😂😂😂

[@nj9766]

The way Frasier tackles that guy so he doesn’t ruin the proposal 😂😂 seriously though Frasier is such a good brother!

[@CanadianIslamicWealth]

Im trying to imagine a scenario where a fully grown man tackling another fully grown man doesn't Alert Daphne to their presence LOL

[@nj9766]

@@CanadianIslamicWealth right? 😂😂 like how didn't she notice?

[@jason_eh]

The fact that Mahoney keeps it together through most of these is amazing.

[@jordangroff8978]

The one where Niles shoots the gun while Frasier is taking a nap is definitely top 3 for me! I cant believe it wasn't in this vid.

[@shevetlevi2821]

My favorite is in an episode where Niles zips up Daphnes zipper in the back of her dress and gets his tie hopelessly stuck in the zipper. He's caught in back of her kind of bent over. Frasier sees him and drily says, " Niles, you seem to have something on your tie."

[@BespectacledLynx]

Which episode was that?

[@67lionsoflisbon37]

Niles ironing his pants and cutting his finger and fainting and burning the sofa and Eddie eating the pasta and.............absolute Keaton, Chaplin, Lloyd, Laurel and Hardy!!! David Hyde Pierce; genius stuff! Thank you very much for this. Brilliant sitcom and cast.

[@reeniegrl1]

I've never seen the series until recently. I'm binge watching on Hulu. Why I never watched this before is beyond me. I cant stop laughing at every single episode. I love it!!!!

I envy you. It's so fun to discover such an amazing show. Kinda wish I could rediscover Frasier for the first time.

[@Rockhound6165]

The entire beginning segment in Three Valentines is a masterpiece of physical comedy.

[@RCT1963]

When Niles looks at the ceiling after Frasier & Lilith have stolen the turkey...

[@reeniegrl1]

My favorite is when Niles has a dinner party and his cockatoo is stuck on his head......hysterical!!

[@EdnaK728]

And it kept saying unflattering things about the guests

[@Darkstar263]

David Hyde Pierce is absolutely brilliant at physical comedy

[@marthar4983]

I can watch endless reruns of Frasier over and over and never get tired & laugh hysterically like watching for the first time!

[@bettycogswell9851]

This is why this was on for 11 years...Miss it...

[@MrDaiseymay]

THERE WILL NEVER, BE ANOTHER COMEDY SERIES, THAT IS EVEN CLOSE TO THIS MASTERPIECE. THE SCRIPTS AND ACTING ARE SUPERB. TO HAVE MAINTAINED THIS LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE IS EVEN MORE AMAZING, GIVEN, THAT THE SERIES LASTED SO LONG. I WATCH THE BOX SET REGULARLY, AND EVEN THE CURRENT TV RE-RUNS.

You don't get extra credit for using all capital letters.

[@nj9766]

I just love David Hyde Pierce so much! He’s incredible!

[@michellebach6277]

I think only a great crew can make a great team. This was one of the greatest tv shows ever and they all, everyone were the best choice for their characters

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

I know it's not exactly an original opinion but this show succeeded in a big way with how lucky it was to have David Hyde Pierce play Niles. To this day I don't think it's been topped as the most believable brother dynamic in TV history

[@aewtx]

I think the show worked so well because they made Niles like Frasier, instead of how writers usually do with making the sibling a complete opposite. It was more believable having them be similar and gave them more material to work with.

[@davidmarshall5596]

There are so many 'slapstick' moments in frasier..I think the whole cast were superb & the script were simply fantastic..quite possibly the best tv series to come out of the states 😀

[@frasiercrane3508]

Couldn't agree more!

[@edwinawareing2395]

Totally agree with you DAVID, it was the best. ❤️

[@MyEpicawesomness]

I love how Niles is witty & physically comical 😂

[@ke6319]

The ironing scene was slapstick gold

[@paulprice]

that first clip with Nikes hitting himself in the face with the quarter flip it cuts off before Marty says "makes you wonder what goes on at that squash court" lol

[@jonhohensee3258]

Nikes???

The banana going off is easily one of my top 5 Frasier moments

[@madizzle90]

You should know how to catch a banana!

[@Callylily7]

I pay for Hulu each month so I can watch only Fraiser. Each night I watch so I can go to bed feeling great. Niles has it down playing the jealous younger brother. His slap stick is off the chart. Yeah Niles.

[@alischat8916]

[@22Phantasm]

In the same episode where Daphne stuns the eel on the table (which is 100% hilarious) there is the scene where Roz comes into the kitchen after the explosion. She looks like a cartoon character all frizzy and smokie. It's genius.

[@kikibwellness]

The common denominator in almost all of these scenes are David Hyde Pierce. He was absolutely brilliant and such a good sport when you factor in the "Hot and Foamy" and having literal egg on his face. Hands down, my favourite is when he faked the counter suit abuse, taking out the coat rack and the table (2:07) that whole scene was brilliant!

I’m not sure if anyone mentioned the episode were Niles confronted the fencing instructor that professed to be in love with Maris. That episode made me reach for my inhaler a few times, Fraiser trying to translate what the central American maid that spoke no English but spoke perfect german, Fraiser frantically trying to ask her questions in Spanish while (Klaus?) was trying to fillet Niles.
