I have just finished watching Frasier on Netflix and I was wondering what are your favourite moments from the show?
Mine would be when Martin gets high from the pot brownie and Niles eats a normal brownie and thinks he is high. That was pure comedy gold.

I love Martin getting high too, that was the funniest bit of the last season.
And, for pure silliness; 'The Cranes from Maine have got your Living Brain!'.
"Look out! He's got a nug!"
Yup, I think thats why I like it so much.
Another one that always makes me laugh, no matter how many times I see it, is Niles' round house kick - poor Daphne.
End of.
Apparantly the actors playing the parents of Roz's baby's father had rehearsed without makeup, then only had the noses put on for the taping, so the reactions from the cast were genuine.
Wholeheartedly agree..... for a secondary character who did not even appear that often, Bebe was second to none !!!! Her withering put downs were sheer brilliance.
As for all the rest..... where do you begin..... the best ever sitcom produced bar none !! I have the boxset literally worn out and it never ever gets stale.
A few of my favourites -
Sherry Dempsey to Niles: Oh now Niles....my mamma always said the only way to get over someone is to get under someone.
Niles: I never knew Mai West had children !
Frasier: Remember when you thought the 1812 Overture was a great piece of classical music.
Niles: Was I ever that young?
Niles: Her lips said no, but her eyes said read my lips.
Niles and Frasier are talking to one of the selection committee from THE CLUB
Frasier: "This is my brother, Dr Niles Crane - the eminent psychiatrist."
Niles: "My brother is too kind - he was already eminent while my eminence was merely imminent."
Could go on forever...... just marvellous.
One stand out moment for me where a look reduced me to hysterics was in THE CANDIDATE.
Frasier has agreed to do a promo video supporting a political candidate in a local election. He is filming it at his apartment and has rehearsed his piece. Before they film it for real, he takes the candidate Phil Patterson out onto his balcony for a quick chat, Its here Phil reveals to Frasier that he has in the past been abducted by aliens and beamed up to the mother ship.
The very slow turn of Frasier's head in Phil's direction as sheer disbelief and horror overwhelms him is sheer brilliance.
'Could the McCallister sisters stand back to back? I'm short on bullets!'
Plus the one where they all go to a cabin and are trying to sneak into each others bedroom and finding the wrong person.
The Kelsey Grammar directed "Moon Dance" is another favourite.
The best sitcom of all time. Won't be beaten.
Someone please tell me that happened lol
Was that Merry Christmas Mrs Moscowitz (sp ??) when they were trying to hide from Fay's mother that Frasier and his family were not jewish. Niles was helping out in a nativity play and was dressed as Jesus in the apartment and trying to keep out of sight in case she saw him.
Here it is: http://youtu.be/vIx2-Ql7A44?t=14m40s
Bebe is brilliant:
Roz : On making Bebe her agent. "Well it's not like she worships the devil.
Frasier: She does'nt have to. He worships her.
Keeping with the trend, I also enjoyed another Frasier rant in a season two episode. Niles and Frasier accidentally scuff the floor the day of another one of their soirées. They get a guy in to fix the floor but soon the problems keep on coming. After cutting himself shaving, Frasier says "I cut myself because I was shaving with no water, and why was there no water? Because I had to move your chair, which gouged the floor, which made me call for Joe, who found bad pipes, which called for Cecil, who ate the cat, who killed the rat, that lived in the house that Frasier built!". Again another line that might not be too funny on its own but was pushed over the edge of Kelsey's delivery.
Especially after all the wrong doing, Fraiser realises nobody was 'hot' for him!
"The Innkeepers"
"To Kill A Talking Bird"
"Ham Radio"
These are my favourite episodes I watch the most.
Oh yes!! And .... "Does no one realise that I have got an HUNGARIAN GOOSE"?
I agree with everyone's best moments on here...the scripts were second to none and the acting just brilliant.
There will never be a sit-com like this again for me!:(
But I constantly watch time after time on the Comedy channel and never ever get tired of them.
Ooh - and another of my faves were all the eps with the superb Felicity Huffman in. That little course they had to go on for sexual equality was hilarious... "who said that?" "I DID"
