David Hyde Pierce-Hit The Couch

This is a video of David Hyde Pierce at the Festival of Fun performing a very funny song "The Therapy Song" as his "Frasier" character Niles Crane.

[@doberman1ism]

My favorite quote from him in Fraser is when he sees Daphne and exclaims "Now I'm going to pump some iron. " and Fraser responds "Good God Niles! You don't even pump your own gas!!"

[@CalicoJackal]

"I would shave my head for you Niles." "A gesture which becomes less significant with each passing year."

[@notsureiL]

@@GhostTrainPhoto lol did you really describe Maris in your comment ;) except for cute and funny you are spot on.

[@Shorty_Lickens]

Almost every line in the entire series is solid gold, but none of it is quotable because the situations usually require elaborate setup. Or the lines are more like monologues. Sure the punchline is funny but it takes forever to get there.

[@maxfrankow1238]

Frasier seeing this. "Oh dear God, Niles."

[@francism.4525]

Max Frankow or " Oh, shut up Niles !!"

[@garganrose]

Niles: you’re one to talk Fraser with that radio show of yours.

[@notsureiL]

Stop it! Your ninny.

[@withgoddess1119]

YES!!!!

[@LouisJasper]

I don't care if he's just an actor, i need this man as my therapist.

[@bl7817]

He was actually excellent. Did you see the one where he confronted his childhood bully? Brilliant.

[@XeveCamp]

I think Hyde Pierce is one of the funniest comedians to have ever existed and I love Frasier, best sitcom with the best cast. So I want to thank everyone in frasier for making my life better, truly better :)

[@KilljoyNL]

+XeveCamp For me it's a shared nr. 1 spot between Frasier and MASH

[@bl7817]

I watch reruns at least twice a week.

[@shao19851]

He is so underrated in comedy!

[@inspectorjavert8443]

you know he might make a good host for the Oscars

[@beuxjmusic]

I think that's a fantastic idea

[@NoName-bh4pf]

He hosted the Emmys before

[@poppy_anderson]

No.. he has too much class for that circus

This guy is brilliant

"Ladies and Gentlemen...my posse." David Hyde Pierce is just gold.

[@OPHIOHANNAH]

When Cheers was on I watched every episode and over time Frasier became my favorite character because he's the one who made me laugh the hardest. Then when Frasier had his own show, Niles was the one who made me laugh the hardest !

[@80sLoserKid]

Same here... :)

[@creatinotionchannel2680]

me too

[@epyscrivano3145]

Dang! This was from 2006 and it's the first time I've seen it! What a gem! LOVE David Hyde Pierce! And I still consider the Niles and Daphne romance to be the best ever written (and performed) for television.

[@houndandhandbag]

There's another one where he does a parody of La Viva Loca by Ricky Martin, also a Just for Laughs.It's on youtube but it's broken up into 2 parts and is rather fuzzy. And yes theirs was the best TV romance. Brilliant acting and writing.

[@brandonayong7656]

Frasier was simply the best writing sitcom ever imo

[@namewithheldbygoogleforsec673]

Actually this is from 1997, not 2006. :-)

[@RandomPlayIist]

There's no way this is from 2006, probably mid 90's.

[@petermcginnity5572]

Yes, how didvthey do it ...and hes gay

[@gifthuizlikegod]

4:45 when the sherry finally kicks in

[@sarcasticsincerity]

This made me laugh out loud 👏

[@shelby8364]

lmaoooo fantastic

[@beuxjmusic]

I love the toothy, cheek sucking grimace he does when he's being facetious or self-degrading... I wonder if that's a natural expression of his or if he's just slipping bits of his Niles character into the show...

[@beuxjmusic]

Holy damn that song and dance was slick as hell! I love this guy...

[@Paraprax]

The dance move at 4:46 is one of the proudest moments in the history of comic timing.

[@poica1]

He's got such amazing timing.

[@FretFreak02]

I love how David just is Niles, he pretty much plays himself in Frasier :P

[@BrityBabe]

that's awesome. he always seems so dignified and then he like dances around like a crazy man,.. it's great! i love him!

[@amarieoflothlorien]

Niles rapping, this is so funny!!!!! Now I have seen everything!!!

[@cazia9]

Only DHP could drop a rap line with a reference to the bard XD 'I gotta wife who is like a refugee from Taming of the Shrew' classic!

[@usernaj]

I LOVE David Hyde Pierce, he really is hilarious in whatever he does! :D

[@faressultan6945]

I wish he considered standup comedy seriously.

[@girlysword]

Bless this man

[@mightyquinn62]

Frasier is so popular on both sides of the Atlantic. So hilarious!

[@kerensabirch5214]

[@Mewluver101]

This is hilarious!! I love how he mentions Maris and, come on, the song was the BEST!!! XD

[@RXdash78]

That he joked about being introduced to an attractive woman dates this quite a bit.

[@unexpectedvixen5685]

My thoughts exactly lol

[@kareng229]

Just saw this. Love it! I’m going to have to see a therapist over my obsession with this man lol

[@Piargane]

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen- also performed with great artistry- his changes of mimics, expressions etc, very difficult to do like that. Fantastic!!!

[@djoli13]

OMG, I am so in love with David. He's hilarious.

[@mamemimoma]

I love when he goes : "those of you who watch Frasier know Marris is my wife on the show, those of you who don't watch Frasier, I'm not speaking to you.
