Best episode of Frasier!!
Some people might disagree with me, but there was an episode on in repeats a couple days ago. On it, there was a misunderstanding, and the misunderstanding led to humor! It was so unbelivably good!

possibly my favourite is the episode where Daphne's old mechanic boyfriend visits and she pretends to be married to Niles (and somehow they convince Roz to pretend to be Frasier's wife Maris!) so that he gives up his long-held love for Daphne. brilliantly concieved and executed farce. ending with the exclamation "But we're not the terrible people you think we are. truth is we've been lying to you all along!" (it prolly sounds funnier in context.)
but there are lots of brilliant episodes and its hard to choose just one.

One of my favourites is when Niles and Lilith end up in bed. The last ten minutes of the episode in the hotel room are downright classic.
Oh and of course, where the whole gang did a Murder Mystery for the radio. Frasier's egomania reformatting the play to make his Detective part bigger, and everyone else's smaller and in the process, pissing off a character actor for making his Germanic accent is "too Austrian." Niles then having to come in as a last minute replacement, having to play several different characters.. and not being told beforehand. Roz appearing with two enromously swollen cheeks after an excrutiating session with a dentist. Bulldog getting stage fright for the first time in his life. His stripper girlfriend turning out to be dyslexic. And of course, a limelight hogging Gil trying to blurt out his 2 minute "death speech", curtailed to a mere whimper by Frasier. Gotta love it.
Oh yes, and no one can forget, the INFAMOUS duel between Niles and the German Fencing Instructor.

"she ain't feeling too good. she must have wrestled in some bad jello."

other great Frasier lines:
-Her lips were saying "no," but her eyes were saying, "read my lips."
-Look, frankly, I wish you'd start seeing someone about this bug phobia of yours.
-It is not a phobia. I have a healthy fear of our natural predators. It's us versus them and frankly I'm starting to wonder just whose side you're on.
-Frasier, do you remember the time the Kreizel brothers tied me to their Great Dane and lobbed meatballs down their gravel driveway?
-I told you Niles, I would have helped you, but their sister was holding me down.
-I went to all sorts of funerals as a child. My uncle's a mortician. Lovely man. He's offered to do my make-up for the wedding.
-I can just hear the whispers now. "Did you see the bride? Very life-like."
-He had a heart attack when he was out trimming Maris's elaborate hedge maze. The paramedics never had a chance.
-I had a wonderful time last night.
-Me too. It's like being back in high school, but with sex.
-Kick-boxing requires a lot of talent. You have to have timing and balance, the ability to strike and instantly retreat.
-So you kick them and then run away?
-Yes. My instructor says I'm a natural.
-Lilith. She's got a new boyfriend, some twenty-eight year old named Marcel, he's a contortionist with the Cirque du Soleil.
-She's dating French circus folk?
-Yes. Well, he's actually perfect for Lilith: he has no apparent spine and she can wrap him around her finger.

Two that I really liked were:
1) when Christine Baranski (sp?) played Dr Nora, a take off of Dr Laura
"Of course they have low self esteem...They're going to hell!"
2) when Kim Coles is Frasier's producer
"If the shoe don't fit, that ain't your shoe!"

My favorite is where they open a restaurant and on opening night everything goes wrong.
The one where they stay in the cabin where everyone likes someone else is pretty good too.

Goblin: Terrific Episode! Niles has the hots for Daphne. Daphne's Brit girlfriend, Annie, has the hots for Niles. Meanwhile, Daphne has the hots for the french cook/ski instructor who happens to be gay and has the hots for Niles whom he mistakes as being gay as well...and the two girls as lesbians. And of course, hot to trot Frasier is out to get Annie. Add to this mixture the fact that Martin has an ear infection which makes him pretty much deaf and Oh how the hilarity ensues! ;-)

One Frasier episode that will always stick in my mind is a Valentine episode with Niles at the beginning. He has a solo where he's fixing dinner and ironing his clothes. I think that scene is one of the best skits on TV in a long time!

This show is the best... it's so funny.
I was always crack up when I think about the a specific part of this one episode. Its when its Frasier's birthday and Eddie comes into Frasier's bedroom to wake him up and Eddie has on a birthday party hat and a mike where Martin (pretending to be Eddie) says, "ruff, Happy burfday frrrasier, ruff".

Just a second nomination for the cabin lovin' episode and that little Niles skit in front of the Valentine's day episode.
I also really liked the one where Martin pretends he's gay to avoid dating a woman. And the other where Frasier pretends to be Jewish to impress Amy Brenneman's mother. Nile's lines are classic.
