  • Roz gives me funny feelings

  • the man has not instinct--just stinks

  • Is there suppose to be some kind of inside joke when frasier says "we'll shut down and blame the director"?

  • What makes this episode especially hilarious is how Kelsey went on to play Dr. Henry 'Hank' McCoy / Beast in X Men later in 2006.

  • You'd think Frasier and Niles might have noticed Hedley's Father's uncanny resemblance to John Steed, given their admiration of him in their youth! ;-)

  • Can't type,laughing too hard. One of the best episodes ever.

  • cheers, this has to be the best fraiser episode of all time

  • thank you!

  • Jackson is the actor who plays Corvinus in underworld

  • Fraiser, when you were getting a haircut, you should've told the barber not to take so much off the top.

  • By the way, hilarious episode. Hilarious show. To say the least.

  • Dunno if this was said before:

    Jackson Hedley is played by Derek Jacobi, who is actually an extremely well-regarded stage actor (among other things), to say the least. He has been apart of numerous Shakespearean productions (among other things). His performance in this episode is probably more hilarious if you are familiar with his works; a deliberate mocking of his Shakespearean background by playing an incredibly untalented Shakespearean actor. I believe he won an Emmy Award for this episode.

  • I would pay good money to see Jackson Headley's One Man Show - much hilarity!

  • Comment removed

  • is that the Master ?

  • Tobor is robot backwards.

  • @MKShaggy1985 Wow, never realized that, the intellect that went into the writing of this show never seizes to amaze me.

  • @YoursTruelyMe2 In today's society humor is based on sexual parts and how many partners you had. What happen to us?

  • @grownman455 I think we became distracted by an idea of a life we wished was ours.

  • 151 gators, 4 chickens!

  • lol. Is that Professor Yana from Dr. Who? :D

  • 1 gator. 1 chicken.

  • 13:50-14:06 comedic genius!

  • i's Claudius

  • The look on Frasier and Niles faces when they realize they made a TERRIBLE MISTAKE is PRICELESS!!!

  • Derek Jacobi farcing overblown Shakespearean theatre...CLASSIC!

    I've never seen him do comedy before; absolutely brilliant!

    This is right up there with Ian Mclellan coaching Gervais on the difference between the actor and the character on "Extras."

  • Patrick McNee. Steede from the Avengers!!

  • Thats Steede!! From the Avengers!! I love him!!

  • yey full uploads no 3 parters :D

  • lol Kelsey Grammer was in X-Men 3...

  • @marvelmax03191 oh god, I don't remember this at all! who was he?

  • @nuwanda3333 He played Hank McCoy/ Beast.

  • Harold Bloom's "Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human" at 9:25! Figures Frasier would have a copy

  • i just realised this episode is ten years old!

  • patrick mcnee?

    funny that earlier in the series they mentioned that Frasier and Niles were big fans of the avengers tv series.

  • this is my second favorite sitcom of all time first is arrested development

  • ironically enough...kelsey grammer went on to play "beast" in the xmen movie!

  • @cattyomuppet

    he actually did pretty well as The Beast, I think

  • @Minakou1 He was perfect haha! One of the best parts of the movie. It's almost like he jumped from the pages of the comic books.

  • @marvelmax03191

    yeah

  • Frasier never got his Sprite.

  • Im telling ya, one gator, one chicken :)

  • When Niles says "He's awful." it almost sounds like "He's offal.", which is almost as apt.

  • @darkpyronl I didn't notice him but the other old man is Derek Jacobi, one of my favorite actors - ever since he starred in I, Claudius thirty years ago.

  • I can't help but notice the sign in the first scene with the misspelled "Heros" as apposed to "Heroes".

  • Did that buffoon not realize he couldn't act?

  • Could you please tell me how to post a video longer than 10 minutes? thanks

    Love this vid also thanks!!!

  • hey the old man is john steed from the avengers

    his real name is Patrick Macnee

  • @darkpyronl It's Derek Jacobi you fool.

  • @tresable No! darkpytonl is referring to Hedley's father who is played by Patrick Macnee...

  • @darkpyronl It's Derek Jacobi you fool.

  • Comment removed

  • the scene when he's leaving frasier's apartment is just pure godliness.

  • This is such a beautiful episode. Yes, Timothy, it is true irony. Beautifully done. Bravo....the man has no instincts, he just stinks....lmbo

  • because I said no the eyebrow ring!

  • the guy reminds me of 'the knights who say 'ni!' ' xD with his high voice xDD

  • I've read that Jacobi actually had real trouble with stage-fright. 'the jitters'.

  • OK, this is the greatest living Shakespearean actor - doing BAD Shakespeare. EVERY Bad Acting thing in the book. When I first saw this TEN years ago, I fell off my couch laughing. One of the greatest performances I have ever seen.

  • We'll shut down and blame the director LOL.

  • Derek Jacobi!!!.. holy shit!!

  • Grammer is as good an actor as any I have seen - he would be better in Shakespeare than Olivier, Richardson, Gielgud etc. Sometimes I think Frasier (the show) is anti-arts.

  • 13:47-14:05 is the best part of the entire episode, I think. lol

  • @KoH4711 so true, so true!!!

  • This is the best episode of this season. Thanks iamericanright, now I can sit back and relax as I rewatch the entire Frasier series for the third time :)

  • I think Jacobi is doing king lear on the london stage at the moment.. :)

  • I think the writers kept adding various sci-fi elements into the show as an inside joke. Kesley Grammer once guest starred on an episode of 'Star Trek The Next Generation' in the episode called Cause and Effect.

  • @sallyjosie He does it often.

  • I loved the appearence of Patrick Macnee as Headley's father. He is best known for his role as John Steed in the 'The Avengers'.

  • Wooo man, nothing wrong with X-Men comics!! ^.^

  • Another very great show. I love the fact that these episodes are all in one segment. It makes for a great viewing of one of the best shows ever to hit the airwaves. Thank you for all of your efforts.

  • Derek Jacobi is an amazing actor. Beautiful performance and he joked about himself I think.

  • been to busy getting a hair cut LOL

  • that fire marshall guy was on bones for 1 season

  • Arrgh... I can't bear to watch! It's excruciatingly hammy!

  • hehehe 103003 of course that's after I refreshed

    this episode is hilarious I love Frasier

    peace (3

  • HEadley was actually rather good in a very funny way. He tried to sound like an actor overacting and turned out funny which is the point. Well done, Hamlet.

  • "The man has no instincts....just stinks."

  • my favorite episode. Derek Jacobi was brilliant

  • My gosh, the guy REALLY wanted to do the play!

  • "I love cats..."

  • I respect how a great number of Frasier episodes don't actually have a conclusion, merely the characters' acceptance of the situation they've found themselves in and they leave the rest for us to decide... brilliant work on the writers' parts.

  • Who ever loves this amazing show = Frasier please add me as a friend and message me .

    The whole cast did a very well done job .

  • to jazzmann16: because the play Hamlet is happening in Danish kingdom.

  • why do nils says Denamrk at 8:00 :) im curious because i am a dane :b

  • @jazzmann16

    thats where hamlet is set

  • @jazzmann16 Hello Jazzmann Do you know Elsinor? Castle/town in Denmark? Prince Hamlet was from Elsinor.

  • thank you for uploading :) I have seen the episodes everyday in two weeks now and I have had a great laugh :) looking forward too more laughs :)

  • Professor You Are Not Alone!!!

  • This episode is like Patrick Stewart, isn't it.

  • @jimbobjimminy One time I saw Patrick Stewart and I went up to him to tell him I loved his work. His first response was "In what?" and he seemed a bit angry. I can only commiserate, imagine being a Shakespearean actor and everyone coming up to you telling you they love you as Picard. I had a conversation with him after I mentioned I saw him in a play one time, and he was a really, really nice guy.

  • 1:30 I'll bet those don't take too long...

  • love frasier's theatrical voice!

  • I wonder if the writers of this episode had Christopher Plummer and his role in Star Trek - The Undiscovered Country, in mind when writing this. The parallel is there certainly, although Plummer is differently a talent.

  • very funny Derek Jacob was the master in dr who

  • how did you upload a whole episode

  • hes from cadfael !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Derek Jacobi is an amazing actor......

  • "Get me a Sprite!"

  • "Disguise fair nature with hard favoured  raayyeeiigge!"

  • @NosferatuD

    Best delivery of a line ever!

  • "One alligator,one chicken, one satisfied audience." LOL

  • I just cannot get enough of Jacobi's Henry V. Sooooo funny.

  • This is AMAZING. Jacobi, you old ham! Fantastic work

  • "Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured...raaaage!"

  • Frasier: This brief rehearsal time that we've given you is far too short to reach Parnassus, home of the Muses!

    Niles: Forgive us for being so blunt.

  • Just a great episode...

    Which became more of a rarity as the series went on past season 7

    Just full of great quotes... great one liners...

    It seems than an episode that did not concentrate on Daphnie and Niles just ROCKED, while most episodes featuring Niles and Daphnie are just painful.

  • I love Noel's awkwardness! (:

  • There will never be another show like "Frasier". I can't believe it's been off the air for 6 years! I always hoped that Peter Casey, David Lee and Glen and Les Charles would have been able to come up with something new. TV for me is miserable now. No Seinfeld, No Frasier, No "Raymond' ... just reality TV garbage. Thank God YouTube allows Frasier episodes!

  • its funny im watching this, cause i went to a convention this weekend and its just like this

  • One of my fave episodes! Great upload cheers!!!

  • the man has no instincts - just stinks - outstanding

  • "He has no instincts... he just stinks." LMAO

  • Dear Coach Headley, Please excuse Niles Crane from gym for obvious reasons.

    LMAO!

  • @raerae1281 Um, it's not "Coach Headley"... That's the actor's name.

  • @BubbaHoggit Yeah, I realized that afterwards, thanks.

  • Comment removed

  • Is that Danny McBride?

  • Hm.. daphne wasn't in this show... do u think she was on maternity leave?

  • Marty is amazing: ...likewise...

  • Anybody remember Jackson Headley from being on the Roman Council In the movie Gladiator?

  • Niles: "it's more like 30/70." LMAO!!!

  • What happened to ingenious sitcom like this? Just garbage out now days!

  • lol @ 14:00!!!! that is great acting!!!!!

  • Tobor? Oh come on, that's just "robot" backwards. Real original.

  • It takes a brilliant actor to be a bad actor :)

  • Hurry Up take the picture, this S/B is HEAVY!!

  • the guy that plays the klingon in this episode is the head of the theater department at UMASS Amherst.

  • It's educational!

  • Oh I love this. I love the ham-acting. Grammer just BOUNCES off that Shakespearean actor feller.

  • Look its John Steed! Thats so cool!

    Patrick Macnee is amazing. Always loved him in "The Avengers"

  • roze is soooo hot

  • Not my favorite episode, but still love "Frasier". My favorite two characters are definitely Niles and Roz.

  • I wonder if this was a premonition, as the great DereK Jacobi voiced the childrens show "in the night garden" and was reduced to saying and I kid you not "makka pakka akka wakka mikka makka moo"

  • Well, as far as sci-fi goes he did say that playing the Master on Doctor Who was a lifelong dream.

  • He did actually play him, if only for one episode, in the modern series

  • That's what I meant.

  • "The man has no instincts...just stincts..."

    I love that joke.

  • this episode is so funny..... ugggggh!

    it lends my colon a ticklish aspect.....uggggh!

    lol......ugggggh!

  • "The one on the lava rocks? Yes, I've got that one, too!"

    LOL

  • Derek Jacobi is hilarious beyond words in this one. His facial expression as he leaves Frasier's apartment with the line "and lend the eye a terrible aspect" is priceless. Makes me cry with laughter every time I see it!

  • @shakespeare1599 the groan breath intake cracks me up every time --they must have had fun making this

  • "he's offal"

    LOL!

  • This is one of my all time favourites!

  • The whole point is the irony. Jacobi won an Emmy for this guest role. The hardest thing for a trained singer to do is sing off pitch; the hardest thing for a trained actor to do is act poorly.

  • @TimothyFiore Like in Acorn antiques. ; ) Look it up.

  • eeeeeh...I died Horatio! (Loud Gasps!)

    LOL!!!!! Best part

  • 14:00 - freaking crack up!!!! hahahahah

  • Niles is cute... and the funnier of the two.

    "Forgive us for being so blunt."

    "A damned shame if the phone were to jingle jingle jingle..." "JUST CALL HIM" *scampers off*

  • wow derek jacobi and patrick macnee!

  • @cjeb2003 i'm very sorry for my lack of knights and sirs, i was simply enjoying the ep. actors are actors and cannot simply tread the boards. thats what makes acting cool and flexable surely!

  • @cjeb2003 I quite disagree, in fact I believe Jacobi won an award for this episode! Excellent acting in very good humour and of course this was one of the popular shows on a global scale at the time. Sad I think not. Incidentally Patrick Macnee does not hold a knighthood.

  • Shows like Frasier cjeb2003?

    You sound like a condescending snob.

    Ironic if you haughtily look down on this brilliant series, as it would be you who is lacking in class and intellectually incapable of appreciating truly clever comedy.

    Philistine!

  • Max,

    Bravo.

  • Comment removed

  • @cjeb2003

    um you've just described the plot of this episode mate

    so either you took Frasier and this plot as reality or your just a dumb stupid twat

    also Shakespeare was just as much for the lo brow,

    when Hamlet lies in Ophelia's lap and say "country matters" he means cunt!

  • Roz is so HOT at the theater

  • John Steed.

  • used to make love to this episode...kinda weird.

  • Jackson Headley: "GGGGAAASSSPPP!!!"

  • "I bring you to a hall in Elsinore castle..."

    ..."Denmark!"

    Great episode, you're a saint for posting all these!

  • iamericanright, you are my favorite youtuber.

    Seriously, you must be my most visited page.

  • Is Frasier no longer copyright?

  • Most definitely. However, the copyright falls under the Fair Use Act. As long as the use of intellectual property causes the copyright owner no harm, it may be used. WMG hasn't complained about it doing so, which is why these videos have been allowed to be displayed. If, however, they do something such as release a new DVD set of the eps, I'd be notified to delete them, as then sales could be affected.

  • Oh Thanks.

  • the fair use act is quite clear ... in a nut shell, as long as i am making no monetary gain nor harming that of the copyright holder (who is not kelsey grammer, by the way) then the intellectual property may be displayed. If the copyright holder (either warner or wmg, i forget which) has a problem, they will let me know and either restrict viewership (as Universal did with my animal house upload) or the video would be requested to be deleted, which I would do immediately.
