Niles was a lot funnier before the writers gave him love interests. After that, the writers weren't writing for David Hyde Pierce's natural exquisite comedic abilities. They were writing for the producers. The character of Niles got loused up because none of the many writers they brought in over the years had sense enough to know Hyde-Pierce was awkward when put in romantic heterosexual situations. David never had believable on-screen chemistry with any of the girlfriends they gave Niles. If they'd have left all of his girlfriends invisible like they did with Maris, the continuity of character would have spanned the entire series. Niles was so much more lovable as an OCD married bachelor.
For some reason, I love that Niles agrees to go along with this charade before finding out the reason. Frasier just says that Faye's mother thinks they're Jewish and to play along and Niles goes "Okay" then asks why.
That's actually why DHP got the role. Originally Frasier was supposed to be an only child but DHP looked so much like a younger Kelsey Grammer that they wrote the part of Niles specifically for him. They even make a note of this in the episode where Sam, from Cheers, shows up. He looks at Niles and says, "he looks just like you before you started spending so much time at the bar. What happened to you?"
At Pesach (Passover) every year, when we all made that toast, “Next year in Jerusalem !” my grandmother, of blessed memory, would always say, “G_D forbid (!)” A Zionist, she most certainly was not…… I often wonder what she would say, now that I and three other of her grandchildren have homes in Israel.
Frasier - Best darn ensemble group ever in the history of television and they all seemed like they were friends. When I had a fever a few years ago, I simply binged on Frazier episodes via Netflix and soon I felt better.
A few weeks ago, I felt sick in the middle of the night (got scared it was COVID but luckily it wasn’t) and stayed up all night. I started rewatching Frasier, and I gradually felt better. It’s always been a feel good show for me :)
I agree. I never watched it while it was on air but watched the series from beginning to end with my mother. I love all the characters but I think Marty was my favorite.
@@levips9798 I know the media and government have done a number on people, but COVID-19 is nothing to be scared of for most people. It's simple fact that most people recover within 2 weeks. You can confirm that for yourself. Stress actually affects your immune system, so just be chilled
I watched this episode again yesterday and it is one of the best-written Frasier episodes I've seen. The reveal of Niles dressed as Christ in front of a Christmas tree with an allergy spray up his nose in the bathroom is hilarious.
Oy Vey I’m plotzing 🤣 Marty’s walking in kvetching and nails the Jewish Parent spot on. As a Jew that was hysterical 🤣. Niles and his Jewish expressions were hilarious 😂. “The moil” “ I just wanted to show him that there weren’t any hard feelings” cracked me up. If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve said that was an evening with my family. 🤣
My favourite line is, “you mean Papa?” I’m gay, a situation my mother (of blessed memory) was never comfortable with. However, whenever I told her I was dating a new guy, her first question was always…. “Is it too much to ask wether or not he’s a good Jewish boy?” The time I told her I was dating a black Jewish lawyer she said, “Oy-vey! I suppose I should be happy. At least he’s Jewish. I don’t want to sound prejudiced, but do you really HAVE to date…. a lawyer(!)”
My jewish mother saw this and couldn't control her laughter. She loves this episode. Especially the bit about improvising the Jewish wine. She says it really is dreadful (far too sweet).
Back when this episode first aired I worked with an older Jewish man. He said the whole episode had him in fits of laughter, but it was that bit with the wine that had him almost falling off the sofa. He absolutely agreed. 😄
frasier is so well written i mean - like this script on this episode would be considered hate speech nowadays, but in the hands of such a cast and writers - its hilarious - (i also really wanna put sugar in wine just to try it out)
Fay: The one who did your circumcision? Frasier: Yes! Yes, i just wanted to show him that there were no hard feelings... 😂😂😂 Frasier's facial expression of dread once he said that line is priceless 😂😂😂
Kosher wine is not "cheap and sugary." Manishevitz was inexpenisve and sugary. Long history to that and believe it or not many, not just Jewish people, drank it. Kosher wines comes in all varieties, made in many parts of the world and some are quite expensive.

The crazy part is how in-character it still was for Marty. It's like, "Yea, that's definitely something Marty would say ... but wait, that's also what a typical Jewish parent would ... say ... ? Whaaaat?"
This entire series is an astounding display of comical excellence! The one with them in the cabin where everybodys looking to another is priceless! " Hormones ricocheting.."

Wonderful ensemble cast. No matter how many times I have seen an episode, I laugh just as loudly as if it were the first time. Well written and well directed. I LOVE FRASIER!
Great acting, stories and writing! Met David Hyde Pierce twice during his plays, and talked about his Yale hat. A very solid smart guy, who gives back alot to Alheimers causes because his relatives had it. Incredible timing as Niles playing Jesus.
I can't even explain how much I HOLLERED the first time I saw this episode - most notably when Niles emerged out of Frasier's kitchen in his "holiday program costume"! I could not catch my breath, had to walk it off, and I missed the resolution of the show! 😂😭😂😭😂😭😂😭😂😭😂
@@patrickmccutcheon8860 Also when Faye's mother opens the door to the powder room and sees Niles standing there dressed as Jesus with his inhaler and beside him the Christmas tree.
Meanwhile, David Hyde Pierce went on to star in Spamalot and performed an entire musical number about needing Jewish people to succeed on Broadway (complete with a crap-ton of Jewish references). Every time he shouts "Papa can you hear me?" I think of this episode. XD
"I just wanted to show him that there were no hard feelings" 😂 By this stage, Niles is used to the crazy situations that the Cranes find themselves in so he goes along with it.
Just a nugget on how good the writing was for this show… 3:22 Faye asked for them to send the elevator back up. Which is perfectly normal if they lived in an apartment building. Attention to detail to throw that in is impeccable
Eliezer Rothstein aside from a tiny fraction of extreme or ignorant ultra-orthodox mohels, nobody does that. Pedophile priests sucking off altar boys and Muslims cutting out their daughters’ clitorus constitute far larger and widespread problems.

@@Torahboy1 I mean yes, but you can't tell me the way Jews are portrayed nowadays is good. Like Howard Wolowitz-cheap, ugly, scrawny, lives with his mom, creepy.
2:07 😂😂😂 Marty walking in kvetching is PERFECT Jewish parent - and he didn’t even realize it 😂😂😂. Especially the Jewish guilt ending lol “but as long as fraiser’s happy, what do my feelings matter” 😂😂😂
Niles immediately accepting the premise always cracks me up.
Are you kidding? They're used to this by now LOL!
Frazier: "Faye's mother thinks we're Jewish"
Niles: "Okay."
Classic@
Niles walking in as Jesus later is one of my favorite moments in the series.
I laughed SO hard when I saw that !!
"You mean Papa..." David Hyde Pierce is one of the great comic actors of all time.
Agreed!! His comedic timing is impeccable & superb!!
Absolutely!! His one liners on the Dark Victory episode are CLASSIC!!!
He’s got great timing
His proud face at 2:30 got me 😂
He's born to play Niles, even to this day I can't see him as anyone but Niles.
Niles is hands down my favorite in Frasier. His deadpan delivery and subtle facial expressions are hilarious.
Not to mention his physical comedy. Keaton would be proud.
Kelsey said he put a little bit of Jack Benny Into the role.
Niles was a lot funnier before the writers gave him love interests. After that, the writers weren't writing for David Hyde Pierce's natural exquisite comedic abilities.

@@TVHouseHistorian DHP had great romantic chemistry with Jane Leeves
Yes, all the rest were the same to him.
Marty pulls off the Jewish parent entrance right off.
William Craig he pulled the guilt trip so well
_That's the joke_
Stellar
@@shaneturner500 He did. And he had a great scrip to work with.
Yup
2:30 It cracks me up how Niles turns around with that grin because he is proud of how much he thinks he is nailing it. XD
Yes! What he says is hilarious as it is. But then flashing that grin right afterward is perfection. Comic genius.
And yelling Niles is the icing on the cake
You can hear the audience dying in the background. Hyde-Pierce was incredible in this series.
"He'll probably just kvetch at me and frankly I don't need the tsuris!" And then the grin! Love it.
😆
"Just play along""Ok"Without missing a beat... Ha-ha!
Great cast all around, but Pierce steals the show sometimes.
He'd done this too many times
"... ooh, ham!"
Yes. They put on elaborate ruses about every other week!
... why?
I love how Niles is just like "Okay". 😊💜
For some reason, I love that Niles agrees to go along with this charade before finding out the reason. Frasier just says that Faye's mother thinks they're Jewish and to play along and Niles goes "Okay" then asks why.
They're brothers. I would readily agree to almost any charade my brother or sister asks me to.
Andrew Bjork Hahaha me tooo
I love how much Niles is enjoying himself here
I love that too!
I think that at this point in the show Niles is just used to going along with anything, no matter the reason.
Shows a real mischevious approach
Surprisingly Marty sounded like the typical Jewish parent when he entered the scene 😂😂😂
That’s the joke
@@pookachu64 we understood it... It was ironic... You understand irony, right?
@elledumble
You'll have to excuse skaryeyedmrgorsky. Most people don't appreciate having something mansplained to them.
Isn't that the thing with the cloth?
Watched this episode so many times, but just noticed Niles saying "oy" when he points out the wine being unsuitable.
Love it.
I cannot believe the consistent quality of writing and acting on this show
There has never been 2 people on earth who played brother and looked more brothers like Fraiser and Niles!
Agree 💯

Loved the part where Niles walks in and Frasier yells out "JESUS"! 😂😂😂
I was laughing SO hard at that part!!Tears were streaming down my face!
and where Mrs Moscowitz says to Niles as Jesus "this is your busy time of year"
Yes! 😂😂😂
"Next year in Jerusalem!" Hahahahahahhahahaha, I love how Niles enjoys the whole charade.
“Tone it down a notch Tevye!”
At Pesach (Passover) every year, when we all made that toast, “Next year in Jerusalem !” my grandmother, of blessed memory, would always say, “G_D forbid (!)”

One of the hallmarks of a great show--still getting views long after it went off the air.
I promise you, people are still watching Three's Company clips.
Ironicly on hallmark channel now 😆
Watching in 2020 🙌🏼🙌🏼 love frasier
Friends....?
rockemack If you’re still watching it this long after it went off the air, then I guess it qualifies!
last year I had a Jewish client coming from NYC to HK and I did what Niles had done, and the client exploded with laughter.
Wish I could have been there to see that!
ooh, ham.
I love niles constantly trolling frasier through this scene.
RXdash78 Oozes. Oops
Next year in Jerusalem!
Frasier should have responded forget the Ham Ill make Brisket Later !!!!
To be fair, Niles trolling Frasier is like half his character throughout the whole series (and it's brilliant every time).
I watched this episode again yesterday and it is one of the best-written Frasier episodes I've seen. The reveal of Niles dressed as Christ in front of a Christmas tree with an allergy spray up his nose in the bathroom is hilarious.
"I have no idea....do I?" Best!
My favorite part is when the father said, "Do I?" It sounded improvised. Also, Niles is so hilariously deadpan here.
"You mean papa." Classic Niles. I adore this show.
