Frasier: "Three Valentines"

[tgif650]

The most hilarious moment in Frasier history!

[Annagoesfree25]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELU THE BEST.

[1971Moneypenny]

Thank you for posting this - it's one of my favourite Frasier episodes. The physical comedy of David Hyde Pierce is fanastic!

[sarahnicole32]

This has to be the funniest scene out of all 11 seasons of Frasier. David Hyde Pierce is a comedic genuis!

[Lucifera1011]

Thank you so much for posting. When I saw this for first time I nearly pissed myself (...well, not nearly...). This is one of my favouritest scenes from Frasier. God, I miss this show so much!!! ;-(

[SuperJudge15]

Frasier is quite possibly the funniest show ever, but it would not be the same without niles. He makes the show with his child like demeanor and smart ass remarks long live niles crane!!!

[zabara99]

Proof of genius in 7 minutes

[VelvetKate]

sheer brilliance

[handyme11on]

I use this with my drama classes as an example of movement and facial expression in creating character. I've watched it a hundred times and it still makes me giggle helplessly.

A genius performance.

[allpossibleworlds]

Best part is definitely when he stops in his tracks and makes a point to angle the scissors downward and walk with them. I agree with gregvs3, though, there are different scenarios throughout the series that detract from the plausibility of Niles and Frasier having gone to medical school. Still one of the best sitcoms in history though (Arrested Development and Big Bang Theory are the other two).

[grumpytosnowwhite]

I cried for five minutes straight while watching this episode for the first time. And then I had to go out of the room and missed the next two acts (the sequence with Frasier and the mixed-signals woman, and the argument with Martin and Daphne) because I couldn't stop laughing. Just...SO amazing.

[SGTShootToKi11]

Absolute comic genius. 

[plumpywingknight]

lol he burnt his pants n the chair

[plumpywingknight]

lol Niles faints when he sees blood

[MandeeSparkle]

I remember the first time I watched this, I was crying, because I was laughing so hard. Niles is the best part of this show. And this scene proves why! THIS IS BRILLIANT! I love DHP

[mjedge808]

My favorite Frasier episode!

[Puggedtothemax]

I always remember this episode and I never thought I would find it on youtube but I did and I laughed again SO hard! Niles pulled it off like Lucille Ball. I also agree about the Mr Bean comment and British humor. This was one of the funniest episodes and I wish we had humor like this still. Modern Family Phil Dunphy is coming close. Thanks for posting this and making me laugh so hard again!

[fcogpr]

G E N I U S

[missvivers400m]

i think this is the funniest scene out of them all!

[Kaalec]

Brilliant physical comedy

[paradisebound61]

Frasier was my all time favorite sit com & this scene is hands-down the best. I've seen it many times & still howl every time.

[gurlsingerfan]

One of the singular great comic bits in modern television history. "Frasier" was more than just comedy though, it was always humor at the level of Thurber or a New Yorker cartoon, sophisticated far beyond the normal level of television.

[grapper6676]

A true Classic

[20000pinkflamingos]

love it love it love it!!!!!

[Theburn77]

I love the fact that he is so anal about his appearance he actually takes off his pants and irons them minutes before his date gets there

[DrakeClawfang]

David Hyde Pierce made that show. The others were funny too, but what would Frasier have been without Niles' bizarre phobias, eccentricities and poorly-veiled innuendos towards Daphne?

[cookieflower]

@DrakeClawfang Martin was a necessity too, you needed someone normal to offset the two "men of the people."

[brandon381]

anyone notice how at like 210 the trainer can be seen walking off out of the set but the dog still looks at him lol

[ckblue15]

@brandon381 Dude, that was a great observation you made there. Maybe I was seeing things, but I noticed the trainer walking off the set at the 1:58-1:59 point in the clip. It's in the lower right-hand screen of the screen for a split-second. I doubt even the show's producers and editors caught that!

[shoe3407]

This is the best show ever!!!! Laughed my ass off.

[DaisyLeBooBoo]

David Hyde Pierce is a genius at physical comedy. :-)

[98akz]

@gregvs3

it's because he's a psych doctor, moron.

[bashaleah]

They are psychiatrists, not flippin' surgeons!

[littlefish79]

Thanks for adding this - it's my favourite scene from Frasier as well. Just perfectly timed.

[Minstrel92]

Every time i watch this scene i can't stop laughing! I've watched Frasier with my dad since i was really young and till this day i still love it. Niles is jut hilarious in this scene! :L

[gloryleefisher]

Davide Hyde Pierce is a genius, the best of the best.

[petar1shuwack]

This is the best scene in all 11 seasons of the show. Brilliant:-)))

[twilightxmidna]

XD this gets me every time!!! Genius!!!

[Turenne64]

¡Bravo, Mr. Hyde-Pierce! Es Usted un admirado genio!!!! Mi actor cómico favorito, de lejos!

[gurlsingerfan]

The comparison to Tati, yes! Why hadn't I thought of that before, Tati was exactly such a genius..."Frasier" was an American masterpiece, not just comedy but true "humor" in the best sense of the word, as priceless as Thurber or the best New Yorker cartoons...one of the finest series ever put on television.

[Carehuea]

Genius.

[telisa12051]

Niles is so funny! one of my favorite episodes, makes me laugh so hard!

[WhitePlumeria23]

If Niles faints at the sight of a papercut, how the HELL did he get through his medical residency?!

[QueenShebaVIII]

Maybe it's his own blood that makes him faint? :P

[Steuerchen]

meine absolute lieblingsszene mit DHP!

wer das hier mag, liebt den rest der serie! :)

[maplelaffs]

gotta love D.H pierce!!!

[Kimerats]

I this is really lame that there are no new shows like this one, everything is really show that i can't watch and shows like "The office" witch i do not found funny at all.

Also those TBS programs that they claim are very funny, well I'm still waiting for the funny part.

[tezza368]

One of the reasons Americans love Mr Bean is because they understand the comedic value of silent situations and how difficult it is to pull off nowadays. Rowen Atkinson as Mr Bean was able to do it and David Hyde Pearce is another one. This clip shows what a comedy genius Pearce is. Although i do have to say Fraiser was better when Niles was in love with Daphne and she did'nt know it.

[mkz42279]

@tezza368 Actually Mr. Gramm admitted himself that the show lost some of its charm few seasons before the end. One good reason was that one of the writers stopped working with the team.

[SamLovesFriemds]

this is exactly why i love niles :D

[smrhyne]

Brilliant! I read somwhere that David was paid $750,000 per episode. He was definitely worth it.

[mkz42279]

@smrhyne Closer to a million at the last season.

[petar1shuwack]

@smrhyne He was worth 1500000$

[TheAwesome45]

@smrhyne yeah kelsey was paid like $1.3 million in the end

[BSyron]

So... did anyone else felt kinda sorry for the dog? ;-)

[Kia203]

David Hyde Pierce is a GENIUS. Kudos to him.

[65jumpa]

I'm a medical doctor, a rheumatologist, and picked that field for the very reason that I hate the sight of blood. Not every doctor who went through medical enjoyed slicing and dicing.

[gregvs3]

A doctor faints at the site of blood?

I know it's more funny this way, but the characters of frasier and niles obviously never REALLY went to medical school - which going through requires you to be pretty damn tough.

[austinzeppelin]

Also, they're not doctors of the actual medical field, like a doctor we see when we are sick, or a surgeon, they are in the psychiatric field, more of the mind and emotions.

[doug123yt]

@austinzepplin - Please ... psychiatrists are ACTUAL MEDICAL doctors. Psychiatric disorders are ACTUAL MEDICAL conditions; some are life-threatening. Please don't let the clowning of a (brilliant) fictional show encourage bigotry against the mentally ill.

[OllieJonsson]

It is not totally unusual that people can´t stand the sight of their own blood and have no problem with it otherwise... :o)

[impishanchor]

He's a psychiatric doctor, so he doesn't deal with physical injury or illness, he deals with mental injury or illness.

[DomWeasel]

You'd be surprised at how many non-medical Doctors cannot stand the sight of blood, not to mention the number of medical doctors that develop a phobia of it.

[CobraClutch]

@gregvs3 He's not a medical doctor dumbass.

[orgelmeister92]

@gregvs3 They had to have gone to med school; if they hadnt, they wouldnt be psychiatrists.

[nomilktoday2]

@gregvs3 Doc Martin

[MrLarry]

@gregvs3 He's a psychiatrist, not an MD. They usually don't have to deal with blood

[0879664946]

@gregvs3 Its Niles Crane lol, of course he's going to faint. Absolute LEGEND!

[KoH4711]

@gregvs3 ... lol, it's pretty damn obvious that you, at least, never went.

[ouroboros61]

@gregvs3 psychiatrists don't go to med school

[TheMiddleman671]

@ouroboros61 psychiatrists do psychologysts dont. i would know

[niloh96]

@gregvs3

they were psychiatrist,they never had to see blood

[NelsonAtlas]

Get a grip you strange little man!!

[yotan46]

@gregvs3 being a Doctor means having a doctorate; I believe the Frasier brothers have their doctorates in psychology/psychiatry, which doesn't necessarily involve working with blood extensively.

[tvnutboy]

I remember the Promo for this episode, something along the lines of...

"WARNING: The First 7 minutes of Tonight's Frasier may go down as one of the funniest in television history!" With Sirens and bells going off et. al...

Who knew NBC's promotional department would actually be right about something for once?

[emptynest903]

There is element of danger here- with Niles fainting, the fire on the ironing board, lighter fluid, candles, and cooking on stove, Niles could have died if Eddie hadn't awakened him. It's weird how comedy is not far from tragedy.

[jhony401]

some times tragedy is not far from comedy....a cruel one but a comedy

[gregvs3]

Why in the world did someone thumb down your comment? Damn people are so condescending to outside views sometimes... ironically it's usually people that say they're open minded that are the most close minded of them all... but whatever.

[EvenNow27]

I've been wanting to see this episode for sooo long and I finally did-hilarious!!!!!!!!!!

[Ibhenriksen]

This is without question my favorite episode of Frasier. The laughs never stopped from the very beginning.And when I saw the end credits I was like What? It's over! NO!

10/10

[IchbineinPenguin]

Probably the best physical comedy in the entire series ever. The Mozart just makes it perfect. David Hyde Pierce is an absolute genius!

[drkmidnighthavenodin]

omg so hilarious.

[goouttothemeadow]

Absolute Genius!

[Piquichi123]

I agree. This is my all-time favourite. You picked the best episodes to upload. Thanks! Cheers.

[LCC83]

This scene, all of Ham Radio, and Buttons and Bows are my absolute tops for this series.

This is a classic show. I own all the dvds!!

Love the music choice too.

[LiquidSpartan117]

Mozart was a genius.

[fudgiekinzx3]

lol itz funni how when he c's blood he faints, i cracked up so hard when that happened 2 him and he fire exguniher art

[RetroBoyisBack]

And directed by Kelsey!! Underrated & Emmy worthy to say the least.

[RetroBoyisBack]

Interesting that they allowed this to push the title sequence to six minutes long.

But everyone else has beat me to the praise. Comic tour-de-'farce' for Pierce, impeccably mimed, no need for dialogue. I doubt we will *EVER* see anything of Frasier's 'theater'-type style again.

Niles & Eddie, rivaling Laurel & Hardy!

[olbleo]

rolf rolf gotta be high

[callye]

OMG!!!! I have laughed so hard at this episode that I have tears streaming down my face and my insides hurt. Thanks so much for this!!!!! I love it!!!!

[undersated]

How have I not seen this yet? OMG but I loved it!!! DHP is brilliant, as is Eddie.

Hahaha....

:D

[rem315]

this is the best episode ever.....

[burtsbees2]

genius. and whoever thought to put the overture to le nozze di figaro behind it

[DevaRupa]

Oh No I've seen this one - I can't bear it! I have to look away - it's too awful!

[krazyrobus]

One of the funniest single person performances ever. How the crew managed to shoot this one I don't know. I couldn't make it past the 1st min without laughing my eyes out.

[benprince557]

Thank you so much for this! I haven't seen this since it first aired but I haven't been able to get it out of my head since. I can't stop watching it and laughing! Thank you again!!

[TWURN1974]

The beauty of the entire show was it's flawless comedic timing, but this episode was by far the funniest. Eddie (Moose) was nearly as funny as DHP. Niles' swooning is classic!

[plansforus]

Amazing.

[whitleyjordan]

does anyone know what the one where he's with cassandra in the cafe thinking about how many times she says cute and he says faye said the word jhajhoom (i dno how to spell it) is called ?

[killyourself10992]

this is the funniest episode of Fraiser ever!!!! i cry laughing everytime i see it.

[mrslexx]

i love this so much, i so do the same thing with scissors LOL

[ceno1975]

One of my favorite scenes from Frasier...

[Archangel3583]

Barely any dialogue, and still genuinely funny.

[nagari]

omg David Hyde is hillarius .

[AJQueen]

Best part of this episode by far. Absolutley fantastic and hilariously funny.

[krazyrobus]

Genius episode, simply genius!

[erelprivat]

Thank you Thank you Thank you...

[haesselmaas]

but why is it called "three valentines", when we only see Niles'?

[OllieJonsson]

Because the whole episode has three distinct parts. This is the first (and by far the best!), the second one is about Frasier and the third one is about Daphne and Martin.

[haesselmaas]

Oh, sorry, I know that. I meant why this clip is named "three valentines" when only the one for Niles is shown...?

[OllieJonsson]

Sorry, I misunderstood you!

Well, I just made a mistake...

LOL

[mylesthegirl]

best scene from Frasier ever! I've been looking for this clip for a while. Thanks for posting it!

[OllieJonsson]

You´re welcome!

It´s my favourite too...

[MsAzrael]

A testament to the physical comedian David Hyde Pierce can be.

[MsAzrael]

[heidishiu]

thank you for posting this! The other night i saw the re-run on TV i was laughing like crazy!! LOVE IT!

[Wags374]

This is one of my all time favorite comic scenes! Thanks so much for posting it!!

[AsLongAsFiyeroIsMine]

Thanks so much for posting this video. David Hyde Pierce is a comic genius. I laughed so hard that I cried the first time I saw this scene. I was lucky enough to meet him last weekend after seeing Curtains in NYC. He is brilliant, charismatic, and terribly handsome. He's an amazing actor.

[OllieJonsson]

He is an exceptional comedian, his timing is as good as Chaplin´s or Tati´s... Would love to see him live on stage!

[thereisnophantom]

This has to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen! Thank you for uploading!

[kukini1]

Can't decide who was funnier in that scene. Niles or Eddie.

[Maureen52]

Thanks for posting! I've never seen this scene before! :D Looks like something that could happen to me.

[eliasgandalf]

This is silent comedy on par with Buster Keaton. Probably the best exposé jet of David Hyde Pierce's underrated comic genius.

[royhyena]

My favorite scene in this entire series. The fact that he does it without a word is genius.

[Thanos6]

The first time this aired, I and my family literally cried with laughter.

[JakAndKeiraFan]

Omigosh, I laughed so much it hurt! It's so hard to pick out a favorite moment, because he pulls off the whole scene perfectly. The classical music playing throughout the chaos makes it even funnier!

I give it 5/5 and an instant fave. ^_^

[lilmizreddevil]

saw on paramount 2 the other day, laughed so much, favourite Niles moment!

[frasierism]

This is superbly played by David Hyde-Pierce ! Frasier is among the three best sit-coms EVER !

(The top three : Frasier, Cheers and Fawlty Tower in no particular order) = )

[Girlygirl12345678]

thanks so much!! Do you have this entire episode?

[PC3900]

This scene is such a complicated tour de force by Hyde-Pierce, I've always wondered if it was filmed without a studio audience to accomodate multiple takes, with the laughter added afterwards.

[AmericasSons]

omg, that was too funny, I would love to see the rest of this episode. David Pierce has this act about him that noone else could pull of as Niles Crane. this guy is "gut busting". A Pure genius! thanks so much for the vid

[mohsen83]

yeah pretty funny!

Can someone please name the piece of music running in the background?

[timhrmn]

mozart symphony no 40, 4th movement

[nikanj]

Followed by the overture to The Marriage of Figaro. The Crane boys have good taste.

[u2ubbr]

One of the funniest episodes. Luv it!
