"Please remain in the relaxation grotto! Have crueler words ever been spoken!" So funny!

[@jamesporter571]

Greetings from the future!

[@blackbeauty7125]

That was funny😂

[@northportfloridarealestate8664]

the best scene from all of the Fraiser shows....and they had a lot. and that was the best line.

[@tadimaggio]

The greatest running gag throughout the run of "Frasier" -- all the funnier for remaining unspoken -- was that these two utterly hopeless neurotics, who at times were flirting with the outer borders of clinical insanity, got paid huge sums of money to help other people address THEIR problems. (This episode is one of my favorites. Niles' heartfelt "Frasier, be my eyes", as if this were "A Patch of Blue" or "Johnny Belinda", is beyond praise.)

[@hymns4ever197]

I knew a guy years ago who knew a shrink, and he said his life was more messed up than some of his clients.

[@tomtalley2192]

As a contractor, I have worked for many psychiatrists and therapists over the years. They are messed up. I think they do what they do to try and fix themselves.

Sure. I'm happy by wanting crippling depression, an abusive household, no job prospects and no friends. That's what I have after all. Clearly I am happy now. Fuck off.

[@junior.von.claire]

[@stevenesbitt3528]

The line 'this is where we belong' as they head out to the garbage always stuck with me 😂 good lesson for us all in this episode.

[@FerSpada]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@wrightgregson9761]

David H Pierce is underrated as a physical comedian.

[@turtlemouth]

"This is where we belong!" - Every bit as funny now as it was 14 years ago.

[@kendallrivers1119]

@Follower Of Christ Not Friends for me so I'd say Frasier, Barney Miller and Everybody Loves Raymond as three of the funniest and the best imo.

[@Mr2at]

Nothing could have been written any better. The pinnacle of TV comedy.

[@libramuscle4u]

Niles' shuffle is hysterical....LOL!!!!!

[@lovelygoldensparrow]

Lol,the worker couldnt have just said that the door was an exit. Love it:)

[@raymonko]

lovelygoldensparrow it should have the exit sign as well

[@notsureiL]

Probably a test ;)

[@snowangelnc]

He assumed that simply telling them not to go through the door and to stay in the grotto would be enough; no explanation needed. Haha, he's so naive.

[@lovelygoldensparrow]

@@raymonko Agreed. But if he took the time to tell them dont go through it..saying it leads outside wouldnt have cost him anything,lol.

[@mrcritical6751]

Yeah but if he said “it leads outside” Frasier and Niles would probably take it as “they have an outdoor section of the spa that they’re keeping from us”

[@jrgboy]

One of the best episodes, shows the brothers at their snobby best..

[@jenniferwilcox9759]

These aren't episodes. They're excerpts. We got ripped off by Ricky Mk.

[@Marikac86]

Best commentary on life and the eternal chase. Too many people I know (I hope not including myself, but could be, ee) live this way. And the result is always 'stinky'. And Niles' shuffle! Shuffle shuffle, wiggle wiggle :)

[@TeaCub]

Marika Chikvashvili It was a valuable lesson, especially for me.

[@iamposhgarcia]

They make me laugh so hard that my heart is happy for the time being!!! Hahahahahaha Favorite show of all times!!!!

[@endrankluvsda4loko172]

[@endrankluvsda4loko172]

@Lavender Pinkelle Sorry you are right. I don't know why I was confused before. That was a long time ago.

[@blackbeauty7125]

Well said

[@pedrolopez-torrestubbs7569]

This segment of this episode is IMO why Frasier must be considered one of the 10 best sitcoms in US TV history

[@libramuscle4u]

"I have to know" shuffle shuffle shuffle shuffle shuffle.... David Hyde Pierce is a comedic genius

[@DreamBelief]

He made this show! It just wouldn't have been anywhere near as good without him (of course, they're all important as his jokes feed off them etc). Why are niles characters so great in sitcoms? Niles in The Nanny is the best too!

[@hymns4ever197]

The shuffling in the alley as he tries to escape the bees was also hilarious.

[@javelin1010]

The funniest moment from Frasier. Period.

[@JohnSmith-pe6wo]

javelin1010 more than Crying Cranes

[@zigtgut1]

There are so many instances when Niles evokes thoughts of Daffy Duck!😂

[@kendallrivers1119]

I can't think of any modern comedy show that has such a diverse group of characters that Frasier does. Frasier, Niles, Daphne, Martin, Roz, Bebe, Bulldog, Noel, Gil, Kenny even Eddie lol are such vastly different people with such distinct senses of humor that the writers gave them that's so different from each other yet it works so perfectly. You could cover the names of the characters on a script and you'd know who was saying what.

[@solaire-jd8jd]

Very true! It can't be said of most shows.

[@mistermornevanderberg]

This is probably one of the best episodes of them all. Simply because it so defines Frasier and the fantastic lesson that it teaches "Be happy with what you have when the going is good and don't always want more"

[@maryhall6193]

That's right, just be happy with what you have instead of wanting more because more isn't always a good thing

[@Jackleber]

Which is ironic because the finale is Frasier leaving his city, family, friends and career to find a better life.

[@mistermornevanderberg]

@@Jackleber point taken, but of course would the writers of the show even have noticed that?

[@SamuelBlack84]

I have very little to be happy about

[@catherinebreitfeller669]

This is the best comedy show ever. All the characters are awesome. I never laughed so hard in my life. Wish I could buy every season !

[@AndrewChapman]

Niles at the end LMFAO!

[@shanelo.5142]

😂😂 I've always loved this show

[@RXdash78]

This is like some athenian morality play.

[@geoffreyforbes3098]

Funny how two guys who made the study of human behavior their profession can't see when they're getting played!!!

[@MicWars]

I remember as a teen it was always frasier vs friends and I thought the latter was better. Now I'm grown, frasier is far funnier and intellectually superior. This was classic.

[@JanetStarChild]

Really? You chose _Friends_ over _Frasier?_ I was a teen and young adult as well during that time, and even I knew that _Friends_ was a sitcom for sorority bimbos. My top sitcoms at the time were _Frasier_ and _Seinfeld._

[@NoName-bh4pf]

Friends is the McDonalds of sitcoms.

"Have crueller words ever been spoken" 😂😂😂

[@Stardust_7273]

LOL that's one of my favorite quotes from the whole show. And I love it when Niles tries to walk all wrapped up.

[@ShoegazingHammer74]

A complete parable, the pair of them at their best (or worst). The sort of story that makes me want to go to McGinty's, buy Martin a beer and tell him the whole of this tale ten times over just to hear him laugh and make me tell him again. God I loved this show.

[@christsangaris]

This is my fave scene in Frasier, even though I say that about many. Most of us can relate to this, maybe not as such elitists, but by never being satisfied

[@purplemandala]

One of the funniest scenes of the whole series - and there are so many to choose from. 😂😂😂

[@jdax21]

In an early season episode, Frasier told a caller that she was obsessed with what she always thought she was missing. He advised her to instead explore and enjoy the opportunities life presented. If only he and Niles could abide by this advice. This episode is still a very amusing exploration of human curiosity and restlessness.

[@SamuelBlack84]

Opportunities aren't so easily available

[@Tropicalpisces]

"Hello radiant, life-giving sun!"

[@legendgames128]

I am making a Minecraft level where you play as Frasier and Niles, the level itself is based on this episode of Frasier and Niles becoming obsessed with higher and higher levels of spas, and it becomes a maze to find the highest tier of spa as you explore deeper and deeper. I have this episode to thank.

Where's the WHOLE bit of this? the start from the silver door don't they?

[@hark4e78]

I have no doubt that the spa set that up to teach their guest a valuable lesson.

[@Hewylewis]

Was the platinum door put there as a test? To see if people would be greedy enough to go through it, therefore banning them from the spa for life?

[@BreannaMae]

No idea, but that would be a brilliant idea!

[@nickm1242]

Would be funny but a horrible business practice. Come to think of it, that spa's entire business model seemed pretty stupid. Super exclusive "invite only" and you had to have super serious connections to get to the "upper levels" no matter how much money you had. I know people can be stupid with money, but there's very few people who have the time and effort to jump through all the hoops along with the money to pay their hefty prices.

[@kite7529]

It was just a steel door.

[@anamedina5415]

No, the door to the dumpster just looked really nice because it just happened to be apart of the relaxation grotto. The guy that told them to stay should have just given them more information on why they weren't allowed out there.

[@mistermornevanderberg]

As the episode ends right after they left via the platinum door into the street, I think that that is left open for interpretation. If it were me, I would just go back to the entrance and apologise and ask to re-enter. But then again, Frasier actually "stole" this opportunity fraudulently, and knowing how he most often "behaved", he and Niles were so focused on the escape and the embarrassment of the moment, they would not want to return. In the end, I they get what they deserved, which aver way they reflected on their situation. Obviously they were in the wrong, so by now the guilt would have made them just run away.
