Oh right! I'd still definitely go in for Frasier and Niles somehow getting dosed with LSD or shrooms just before an important party though.

There was the ep where Frasier gets sick and spends it acting like a big baby, then gets hosed up on self-prescribed pills. (Which I can only presume went 'Now Kelsey, I want you to... act... like you're on a fuckload of Xanax')

Frasier’s all doped up when he spills the beans to Daphne about Niles’ feelings for her.

I think the only times they show Niles impaired is when he’s drunk.

I'll admit it had been awhile since I had watched the Mel episodes, so was remembering it a bit better than it actually played out. Still don't think she was much worse or broke more patient confidentiality rules than the Cranes themselves though. No argument on the bad person front though. I'm all sorts of a son of a bitch.

That whole episode is gold but the standout throwaway line for me is Frasier going Oh! Madness! when he sees Niles' "stoned" wine pairing

There was the episode where Niles is dating a way younger woman and says the fast-paced party lifestyle is killing him. Presumably he's either on too much cocaine or not nearly enough.

Niles actually does strike me as being too high-strung to really enjoy cocaine.

i think that was a season 1 episode?

there's a slim chance that was actual acting

funny enough, frasier almost spills the beans when he's high on the self-prescribed pills, i think he just says 'i know all about you and niles, you just pretend not to notice him... :tinfoil:'

tbf I think the guy who stans for Mel is the same one who complains about the Daphne's room episode and he's been pretty quiet as of late

Mel was the perfect girlfriend for Niles but they hosed up and got married. It could have just been a breakup but it had to be a divorce to up the stakes/emotional ante

Mel amplified all his weird hypochondriac crap, manipulated him to push for more ambitious social standing bullshit, and ended up being a bugfuck crazy weirdo that was 10000% focused on how others perceived her.

The dumb cute scene with Daph where she just wants Niles to be better just plays off as "Niles could be better if he listens to me!"

Would have been funnier if Daphne and Niles broke off their weddings/marriages and then went on a date and realized they were just really good friends after all.

Every implication is that Mel is basically Maris Lite. (Well, not in a literal sense, since any lighter would be an air elemental)

And then they literally have Frasier say it, in case they missed it in the cheap seats

E: I maintain that Mel had the seed in her of making a way, WAY better choice for Niles instead of the writing forcing her to be a horrific bitch-goddess. (I might be biased, I really like the actress who played her).

You'll have to explain this a little, since I see their post-wedding life being avaricious keeping up with the Joneses.

Donny was a loving ambulance chaser and he still came off like a human being (well... until he went nuts after the elopement).

Kinda strikes me as actually plausible that he's been really good at keeping his personal and professional life separate, right up until it becomes impossible, and then the contradictions all start crashing down on him.

As ridiculous as the whole affair is, Frasier actually treats relationships relatively realistically by sitcom standards (again, not a high bar) like with Niles and Maris' seperation and divorce being a long, gradual and torturous process.

Roz puts mdma in frasier and niles drink, after dancing they build up a primal thirst for sherry but realize they are clenching so hard they cant drink it.
The b-plot is the Brothers trying different ways to get some sherry in, culminating in frasier using a neti pot and niles in the tub buttchugging straight from the bottle.
Niles passes out under a blanket and shits himself.

Credits roll scene is daphne coming out into the livingroom the next morning, sees niles thinking its Martin and starts to clean him up for a diaper, it cuts between niles scared and silent and daphne just going about her business

I still want to see a Frasier/Batman crossover.

The Joker hijacks a Crane party and is flummoxed by how the brothers still manage to bicker about it.

ed: Even better, it's the Riddler and the brothers keep putting off being rescued because they're sure that they've figured out the answer but are arguing over it to the point where even the Riddler can't get a word in edgewise.
